it deemed that In the reign of Tiberius

HARYARD'S PRESIDENT
SCORES LABOR UNIONS
Mr.. Eliot Says They Oppose
Educational Principles.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 2s-Presi-
dent Eliot. of Harvard. discussed labor
unions at the monthly meeting of the
Economy Club last evening. He said in
part:
There are two kinds of trade unions
having some common objects but de-
pending upon different forces. The first
kind descends from the guilds of skill
in their empIoyments. The second kind.
and the one which IS most formidable.
consists Of unions of unskiIled work
men, OF those whose skill may be easily
acquired. Unions of this sort have only
one weapon-namely, violence, with
which they resist the coming in Of non
union men as substitutes in times oE
strikes. These two classes of unions
should be kept distinct, as they require
different kinds of legislation.
From an educators point of view, it
appears that the labor unions have been
flying in the face Of established educa-
tionaI principles. For example. they
interpose obstacles in the way OF young
people being educated to the skilled
trades. limiting the number Of appren-
tees to 4 proportion smaller than the
interests Of employer dictates This is
contrary to a fundamental principle of
American life and OF American educa-
ton.
Another feature of the trade union
principles is the limitation OF the days
work. not q Limitation Of hours. but a
limitation of the amount Of work. This
is entirely inconsistent with a funda-
mental object of American education,
which is TO enable a man or woman to
do in 2 given time the. greatest possible
amount Of work consistent with health
and strength Such ability is a benefit
both TO the individual and TO society"
President Eliot mentioned the exeeu-
tive committee OF the National Civic
Federation as that euriousIy ineffective
body in speaking of a session attend
ed He observed, he said, that the rep
resentatIves OF the labor unions ap-
peared to better advantage on the whole
than those Of capital.
