This posItion Is based or a wrong COZ
ception Of business principles and IS
rather prompted by spirit OF arrogance.
The labor union does not interfere with
the employers business IN any true
sense; 1t takes heed to cara only for its
own business-that OF fixing the terms
and conditions under which its members
shall work The individual being free
man. his power 20 labor belongs to hina-
self and not to his employer he should
be free TO exercise energy and skill and
gather 20 himself the fruits OF his toll.
This he cannot do when he depends
upon a master for an opportunity 10 earn
his bread or upon an employer who die
tates the terms for which he must sell
his power OF endurance Under present
conditions experience has taught the Ia
bcrer that the individual acting alone Is
poNerless IN his Efforts TO control the
business" Of selling his labor, and or
ganization with his felIow-craftsman is
the result. Instead OF the union inter
fering in the employers business in the
employment Of labor. rather the en-
ployer is interfering with workingmen's
business in refusing to recognize the IA
Dor unions right to a voice in the terms

tween the employer and empIoye. and
one OF their highest aims is to have the
path between paved, not with cobaIe-
stones, but with pleasant relations aad
harmonious agreements.
Another battle. and not OF little in
portance, is that Of equelizing the wages
Of men and women for the same class Of
work In every walk Of life where you
find women working you will find them
undergrad and rarely ever receiving the
same pay as man would receive We're
he doing the same work. This method
OF injustice that has been established Of
basing remuneration upon the sex of the
worker and not upon the quality Of the
