While trades unionism has made
great progress in the United States in
recent years, il is still far behind the
trades unionism Of Great Britain. In
deed. nowhere else in the world are
the toilers in mines, mills and facto-
ries Of every sort as well organized as
they are in the domain of King Ed
ward There are at this moment some
1900 unions of workmen with a mem
bership Of 1000 900 In the United
States, with double the population,
there Is less than half that number
OF unionists. Nor do numbers make
up the only difference. In England
the system of collective bargaining.
especially in the coal and cotton
trades. is carried much further and
on more methodicai lines than in
America.
Whether that fact points to a great
er superiority in the mechanism Of
English over American industrialism
Is a much argued question. It points.
at any rate. to greater power in
English trades unions. That power
is further shown in the amount OF
control trades unions there have con-
trived to gain over the management
of business. II is control that
stretches beyond such questions as
hours and wages, and embraces the
fundamental points Of methods. inter
nal discipline. the maximum output,
the number Of apprentices the use Of
unskilled labor on work hitherto done
BE- skilled labor. the introduction Of
new machine. the employment CT
men not recognized BY the union. and
so on.
OF course it Is absurd to ascribe. as
many employers do. all the decline in
British commerce to the tyranny Of
trade unionism. The employers
themselves have much to answer for
with their fatal complacency and CON
servatism. their lordly. unaccommo-
dating ways OF doing business. their
myopia that win never unreservedly
admit that British methods are not the
best. and their shortsightedness tn not

The Wall Street Journal sees war
ahead unless the labor unions change
the tactics they have been pursuing
IN trying TO deprive the poor non
union man OF the right to earn liY-
ing as he sees fit. The unions do nor
expect the Wall Street journal to
sympathize to any great extent with
their aims. but as good advice is al
ways acceptable. from whatever
source it comes. we give an extract
from an editorial published lately in
that paper. After saying that II has
earned the right to talk to the labor
unions. as it has never joined in the
chorus Of abuse against them that
some other Wall street journals have,
1t says
This nation achieved its political
liberty at the cost Of a fierce struggle,
and with the loss Of many lives.
Political liberty without social liberty
is worthless-indeed, it is meaning
less The labor union threatens our
social liberty by acts such as have
been committed in its name at Schen-
ectady and Waterbury Great Brit
ain did not by its dominion ipso facto
abridge the natural rights Of dwellers
In the American colonies, but the
labor union threatens to do so by
denying the right to work This ma
tion will. if it has to do so assuredly
assert and defend, at the cost Of
blood, the right of a man to work
without let or hindrance. when,
where, and as he lists If the labor
unions assume to take the law into
their own hands they will force the
public to do so In their own defense,
as the Vigilantes did in California.
What will be the result?
Those labor union leaders-and
there are some-whose heads have
not been turned, may with profit con
slider one important fact, which is
that the members Of labor unions
form but a relatively small portion
of the total labor roll-not to say of
the total population Suppose or
ganized labor to concentrate for a
war upon society-who can be uncer-
tain as to the outcome? It might
mean great disturbance for a time
and great suffering on the part Of
many people, but it surely would
mean the utter destruction of organ
ized labor as it exists to-day. It
would have to mean this or the des-
truction OF social liberty For organ
lied labor to force the issue on this
basis is simply suicidal Its success
could only come as freedom disap-
peared-which is not likely to happen
in this country just yet
We think organized labor has IN
the past performed useful service for
a great mass Of people, and that,
properly led. and wisely guided, it
will accomplish in the future an i'm
portant work for mankind. In its
own interest, however. it should
realize the fearful mistake it is now
making and the storm that it is rails
