according as the term of apprenticeship is three
or four years.
If the past is any warrant for the future. la
Dor unions will not be abolished by any meth
DDS of legal suppression or by manufacturers
associations fighting them at every point.
English law made membership in labor union
a penal offense, and in 1884 six workrnen were
transported for seven years for having COM
bined in union. Definite wages for all class
es of labor were fixed by law, but even this
did not stop the growth of unions, and today
they have a standing in English law. 1t seems
to me that the methods that have been most
successful those in which cooperation is
the basis of the relation between the master
and the workman.
1t certainly seems that the interests of mas
ter and man mutual and that by co-opera-
ton they work for the good of all. One Of
the early examples of combination in the
Birmingham, England bedstead trade in 1890.
The scheme, it formally worked out,
centered around a joint wages board COM
posed of representatives from an employers
association and representatives from a union
of the operations in the industry. Prices for
the whole industry were to be fixed by this
board, and wages were to vary directly with
prices, although not in the proportion.
The employers association agreed to employ
none but union workmen, and the operators
refused to abide by the official price list. 1t
was an alliance for the maintenance of the
standard wage and standard price
In the United States we have one example
where cooperation between employer and
workman has worked smoothly for twenty
years. There are other cases where Individual
concerns such as the n. O. Nelson company
of Leclaire. ILL.,, by system of profit sharing
avoid all trouble with their workmen and con-
duct probable business The store manufac-
turing industry, with few exceptions, has been
free from strikes since 1886 In brief, the sys-
tenn worked out by this trade is as follows:
The Stove Moulders' Union comprises nearly
all the workmen in the stove founders in this
country, and the Stove Manufacturers De-
Tense association has as members nearly all
the owners of factories. A committee of six
men composed of three manufacturers and
three unionsts have absolute control of all
questions between the men and their employ

all bv the labor leaders, but even under most
peaceful conditions strikes are barbarous meth
DDS of settling industrial controversies. John
Mitchell says: 1T is struggle of endurance,
a question of might, not right; it is war carried
into the industrial field. and like all war; at
tended by cruelty and suffering it is a feudal
conflict in which many besides the Immediate
contestants are grievously in ured. Thus. from
all ideal point of view, the necessity for even
occasional strikes constitutes one of the strong
est indictments against civilized society. The
consistent policy of the trade unions is to sys
tematize and commercialize the strike and boy
colt. They Introduce, as as they Become
strong enough. a fixed and formal procedure
which the locals must follow III declaring
strikes and this tends strongly to prevent hasty
and ll-advised action. The trade union makes
for the regulation, not for the suppression OF
strikes AS the unions grow older and strong
err it is very probable that strikes will be even
more vigorously restricted, because it is the
new and poorly organized unions which foment
them. The Industrial Commission. summing
up the testimony of the most prominent labor
leaders on this subject, says: While the
most intelligent and conservative labor leaders
freely recognize the eNpensiveness of strikes,
and desire to supplant them as far as possible
with peaceful methods of negotiation, they al
most universally maintain that workingnen
gain, in the long run, far more than they lose
by the general policy OF striking"
Nintll-Apprentices Labor unions as
rule are not opposed to the apprentice system.
The Webs in their investigation OF the Eng
lish unions found only l per cent OF them op-
posed to the apprentice In the United States

The compliments of Union 1855 are
hereby rendered to Will NJ Maupin,
editor and publisher of The Wagework-
er, the best, most intelligent, up-to-
date and original labor paper in the
United States. We wish him and his
family Merry Christmas and Happy
and Prosperous New Year. And by
the way, Union 1855 extends this wish
to each and every member.
We are on the Threshold of new
year and we want to ask every men,
Der: Brother, what have you done for
the cause of unionism the past year?
Have you been true to your pledges?
Have you defended unionism against
the assaults of it's enemies? Have you
tried to win converts to it's teaching?
In word, have you been true, loyal
union man? What splendid memory
if you can answer, Il have done my
part" In standing for shorter hours
you have stood for the home. Your
wife has had shorter hours. You have
had more time for the companionship
of your wife and your children. You
have had some time to beautify your
home, to realize you are man and
! not mere beast of burden. You have
given your brother craftsman a chance
| to get a meal as well as yourself In
a word, you have learned the valuable
lesson, the lesson taught by the Car
penter of Nazareth, Il am my brothers
keeper" You are a hero, my brother;
perhaps unconsciously. Many a fac
tory slave living a life of shame be-
cause OF starvation wages and re
deemed because the union label has
lifted her up by giving her decent and
living wages, blesses you. Every
gaunt, pale and starved child giving
it's life's blood upon the altar of COM
mercial greed land there are thou
sands in the United States today has
it's hope of salvation centered in your
strong arm. You are fighting for the
weak, for justice, for humanity-in a
cause upon whose success depends the
very life of our civilization. In this
season of Good will to men, let us
renew our pledge to the cause of la
Dor, and begin the new year with a
determination that we will first of all
make Union 1855 stronger and better
than ever before by attending the
meetings. getting new members, pay
ing our dues, and buying nothing but
union made goods where obtainable
If all dc this we can certainly feel
proud of the record year hence.

THE BARRIERS.
All Quiet in a Union That Is Full OF
Good Union HustIers.


Good Union HustIers.
The local BARRIERS Union is sailing
along on pleasant seas, work is plenty
and no trouble in sight or anticipated.
The meeting this week was character
lied by unusual good humor and the
meeting was thoroughly enjoyed.
1t took the BARRIERS of Lincoln a
long time to secure an organization
that would stick. Several organiza-
lions were effected, but sooner or later
they ''winked out" owing to negligence
and other causes. But when the pres
ent organization was effected there
was change. The boys aroused them
selves to an active interest, and it has
not been allowed to cool off. The
meetings are always well attended,
the dues are promptly paid and when
two or more BARRIERS meet there is
sure to be something said about or
ganization. The BARRIERS Union of
Lincoln is entitled to front rank
among the live. useful organizations

Christmas Social Success in Every

The Christmas social given by Capt.
tai Auxiliary No. II was success lin
every way save the point of atten-
dance. There were only five printers
present, but the usual number OF loyal
women, together with numerous host
of little ones, came out and helped to
make il a most enjoyable occasion.
Potato and peanut races furnished
lot of amusement for the crowd, and
then the Christmas pie was cut and
lot OF presents that were hilariously
received were handed out. The &C.
centricities OF the various recipients
were happily hit off by the presents.
One of the most amusing contests was
the one wherein the gentlemen present
were each given two soda crackers to
eat, the first one to finish and whistle

ers. The wages are the same for all foundries,
and every manufacturer knows that his COM
petitor is paying exactly the same he for
building stove.
The individual manufacturer and the local
unions agree to abide by the decisions of the
national board If any question arises at a
foundry that cannot be settled by the contend
ing parties, this national committee is notified
and they visit the place and decide the ques-
ton. The wages to be paid are fixed at regu-
lar meetings OF the manufacturers and work
men where both have equal representation.
These wage agreements last for stated periods
and are not matters of discussion between an
individual employer and his men,
This system presents many good points,
chief, perhaps, of which is that unprincip1ed
employer cannot grind his workmen down.
The competition of the manufacturer is not to
see who employ labor the cheapest and
get the most work for the least pay. 1t does
not make much difference whether we pay our
common labor $500 week or $3.50 week,
provided all our competitors pay exactly the
same wage. Associations organized as out
lined naturally lead to agreements as to sell
ing price, and | believe this is good plan as
tar as wages for workrnen and fair conditions
for labor must a fair selling price for the
product. Competition in price too often means
competition in the standard of living for the
producers. From present conditions it seems
probable that collective bargaining will be-
come supreme III the negotiations between
national associations of EMPLOYERS and en-
ployes. The victory is almost won when en-
ployers induced to lay aside their deter
mination to deal with individuals only,
acknowledge the right and necessity of organ
ization among their workmen, and join with
the representatives OF their employees in a
friendly, informal discussion of differences
No stoppage Of work must be permitted
pending the decision of a dispute Our rail-
roads and public service corporations must
be operated if compulsory arbitration is
necessary. In England find the associa-
tons each side posting forfeit of So, 500

Councils of Experts, created by Napoleon in
1906, composed of equal number of en-
ployers and Workmen. These councils have
certain authority in settling labor disputes in
their districts. They hold weekly meetings,

ployer or employe may bring case before
them. They have control over future terms
OF employment. They settle disputes about

The celebrated Cancellation and Arbitration
act OF New Zealand is well worth a moments
time. The colony is divided into eight dis
tr1cts and each has board OF Cancellation, and
over all final court of arbitration, composed
OF one man from labor union, one from
employers association and one Justice of the
supreme court. Employees wishing to bring
a dispute before the court must form union
and register Under the act. Seven men can
form union. The hearing of the board is in
formal. No lawyer is allowed to plead, except
by unanimous consent of all parties. All labor
disputes go before the board and generally
compromise is effected. If this is impossible
an award is made and is final unless an appeal
is taken to the upper court AS soon as an APP
pllcation for the settlement of dispute has
been made and until the award is granted or
pending all appeal, anything in the nature of
strike or lockout is illegal. A violation of this
is punished with fine of from $3.50 to So 500
upon employer union. If the union has no
funds to pay fine, the individual members
may be fined UP to $50 Under this system
strikes and lockouts prevented and after
twelve years of trial it is conceded to be rea-
sonably successful West Australia and New
South Wales have substantially copied the law.
In closing | wish to say that I believe the
labor unions of the future must insist upon
higher standards for their members. To be a
member of union must be honor, and
holding union card be guarantee that the
individual is sober, Industrious faithful and
first-class workman The unions must SO in
sist upon high standards of efficiency, that
union man will be chosen before all others.

introduction that it will cause as little dis

specific policy in achieving this result is to IN
sist that the machines be manned by I'M

worker some small share in the increased prot

Sevcntli-Restriction of Output: This ques-
ton is much discussed by unionists themselves
and it cannot be said that there is any deh-
mite position taken by them. There are many
instances where direct restriction OF output IS
demanded by the unions. Indirectly by limit
ing APPRENTICES, reduction of hours, penallzlng
for overtime. prohibition of piece work and
leveling of wages labor unions tend to reduce
the output of the individual worker. In the
past the instructive impulse OF the disinterest-
ed outsider has been to condemn the restrlc-
ton of output in the belief that it penalzes the
superior workman and levels natural dlffer-
ences of skill and efficiency. On the other
hand the unonist believes that one workman

harder as by accepting lower wage. In IN
