A w eak Spot.

There is one thing about organized
labor to which Mr.. John Mitchell in
his interesting and valuable book does
not give as much attention as we could
wish.sss He. claims for organization the.
credit of raising the standard Of work
nanship. He contends that by secur-
Ing shorter hours and better wages
and more sanitary conditions in fac
tories and shops, and in improving the
condition Of the workingman gener-
ally, organization has raised the quail
ity of workmanship.
No doubt that is true in a measure,
particularly in shops and factories
where men work together, each a part
of a system, and where machinery is
largely introduced. And, perhaps, the
among workmen employed on the out
side; that is, in building and various
forms of common labor.
But there is one weak spot in labor
organization to which Mr.. Mitchell
does not address himself seriously, but
which it will be necessary for labor
organization to meet If it is to persist
when only the fit survive.
The weak spot we have in mind is
the absence of. conscience put into the
service rendered by many union men.
1t is a not uncommon complaint OF
employers that some workmen seem
to have no conscientious concern with
respect to the quality of their work
There is. bitter complaint that so little
regard is exhibited by workmen as to
whether their tasks are we'll or econ
omically performed, while sticking
for unimports.nt regulations often in
creases expense to such an extent as
to discourage the employer altogether
and lead to the abandonment of much
work.
We do not state this is a general
characteristic Of union labor, because
it is not. But we know that the com.
plaint is by no means infrequent thai
the fact of membership in a union Ii
often abused by incompetent or care.
less, or ill-disposed workmen in such
a way as to work an injustice and 6
hardship upon the employer bringine
discredit upon labor organization anc
developing prejudice in the mind o
the public against it.
Thus far labor organization has beer
concerned chiefly about hours, rates O.
pay sanitary conditions and matter.
of this kind--all OF, them commenda
BILE objects; but labor organization ha
some responsibilities to society as wei
as to it's members. And one Of these
duties is to see that it's members Civ,
a fair equivalent for wages received
If, on the other hand, as seems Otter
to be the case, membership in a labo
union serves as a protection for th
incompetent and careless workman
labor organization need not be sur
prised if public sentiment is slow t
place the same estimate upon its yalu
to society which it's members hay
been inclined to adopt. Responsible
for good and honest workmanshi
rests upon labor organizations /
should devise some means of putin
q premium on good work by it's mem
bers and a penalty on bad, sloppy, in
different work. z
In other words, it should have
high standard of efficiency as az condi
ton of membership and maintain it.
