CONCERNING UNIONS.
How Successful Organizations Some-
times Overreach Themselves.

How Successful Organizations Some
times Overreach Themselves.
In many trades the unions have be-
come so strong that the regulation OF
their present power is at least as i'm
portant as the acquisition of more
power. As the power of the unions in
creases so do dangers multiply.
Prosperity is a greater test than ad-
versity- We have seen union after
union destroyed after reaching the
struggle and sacrifice made to gain
that point lost through lack of self-re-
straint-
The responsibility must lie with the
leaders, who are in a position to know
the limitations of the union and the
obstacles that beset it better than the
rank and file
Often the mass pushes blindly ahead,
demanding and demanding without
clear conception of the ability of the
employers to grant the demands at the
time. The workers. finding themselves
freed from the subject condition of the
past, and relieved of the burdens that
they had to bear, strive for ideal con-
ditions at a leap. After habitually sub
mitting to the tyranny of the foreman
they seek when able to enforce their
function, and even challenge the ern-
ployer's authority in the legitimate
conduct of his business.
In addition, there IS the human ten
immediate gain. and disregard. not on
" the rights OF others but the larger
interests of self Organized groups OF
wOrkmen when once secure in their pO-
sition even legislate against their fell
low union men by restricting the num-
Der allotted TO each shop and by fer
bidding other Workmen to enter the
trade in order to create an artificial
scarcity of labor. Some essay to pass
upon the quality of their work and
decide the competency Of themselves.
1t is an old story that the oppressed
who cry out for justice and appeal to
the highest moral sense play the
despot in turn when they obtain pow
er- How to regulate power has been
the problem Of the ages. and we have
that problem before US in a new form.
There never was a time when the
working class was able to dominate
What win it do with its power2 is the
question now in everybody's mind, and
all hinges upon that. VIII the unions
develop the capacity to restrain them
selves and place themselves in harmo-
ny with society2
What is needed at this supreme mo-
ment is a demonstrate Of this need
ed restraint. Warnings sounded from
men in the ranks viii do more to allaY
