Eyointion o. Labor UnioDs.


In the Contemporary Review Carroll
j. Wright gives some facts regarding
the evolution of labor unions which
are Of especial timely interest In view
OF what has SO lately happened in the
Pennsylvania coalfelds While II Is
only within the past thirty years that
labor organization has become a sub
ject of universal practical concern in
this country. the union impulse, says
Mr.. Wright, has been at work here
since the colonial days. There was a
hint Of II in the "Caulkers' club"
(whence "caucusD of Massachusetts,
as far back as the early part Of the
eighteenth century, though the condl-
tons were not favorable 10 organiza-
tion as we know II now. because In
dustry was then so poorly developed,
and "the domestic system OF labor
also stood in the way Of extensive or
ganization."
During the first struggles OF the re.
public almost no experiments were
made apparently to bring working.
men together in such associations, but
a list OF unions is given as follows for
the first quarter Of the nineteenth cen.
tury.
iso3-New York Society Of Journeymen
Shipwrights.
lS06-An organization OF the house car
penters OF the same city.
lsOG-The Tailors' union
1Sl9-The hatters' organization.
1s22-'rhe Columbian Charitable Society
Of shipwrghts and Caulkers Of Boston
and Charleston.
Mention is made also OF the New
York Typographical society. which
was a going concern I'm 1917 and which
is supposed to have had its start in the
previous century.
In the second quarter of the nine
teenth century, continues Mr.. Wright,
great interest was shown In the cause
OF labor, and there were many work.
ingmen's clubs, worklngmen's papers
and workinginen's conventions, In
which the right TO organize was pro
claimed and the effect OF organization
on strikes and lockouts was debated.
Following these meetings IN the city Of
Boston IN the years 1881 and 1882 the Cen
eral Trades Unions OF the city OF New
York were active IN discussing the same
questions, and this is the first attempt.
80 far as the history o. the development
OF industry Is concerned, to unite work.
ingmon Of different trades in one organ
fzatiou In later years this attempt was
repeated by the Knights Of Labor
The advance that has been made
since that time In trade unionism Is
tremendous until now, as demonstrat.
cd so recently and forcibly i'm the an
thracite coal regions, organization in
the ranks OF both skilled and unskined
labor is being recognized as an essen
tial factor IN our industrial system.

The size Of heap OF coal has an i'm
portant influence on the liability 10
spontaneous combustion. The expert
ments of Mr.. Fayol showed that under
certain circumstances coal never took
fire by exposure TO the mir when the
heaps were less than six feet high, no
matter what the lateral dimensions of
the heap might be. Coal always alb
serbs oxygen from the air and always
generates heat In consequence Of the
combination Of the oxygen with the
carbonaccous contents Of the coal. The
rise OF temperature, however, which
accompanies this process Is dependent
on the rate at which the oxygen Is ab.
sOrbed on the one hand and on the rate
at which heat escapes on the other.
Both Of these factors may be greatly
Influenced 10y comparatively trifling
variations In the conditions.
