1t is doubtful If any organization
other than the labor union could &C
complish these things, for only the
bread ard butter necessity would be
potent enough as an influence to bring
these people out of the fixed form and
capitalization of life into which they
have been compressed. Certain it is
THAT no, other organization is attempt
ing to do the work.
| The very essence of the trade union
argument on tie immigrant is-un-
consciously--an uplifting and an Am
ericanizing influence. The uniorist
begins TO talk better wages, bette,
working conditions better opportuni-
ties better homes, better clothes. Now
one cannot eternally argue "better" in
the ears of any man, no matter how
restricted the particular better" harp
ed on, without producing something
of Psychological atmosphere of "bet-
ter" in all his thoughts and life ac-
tivities. If better food, better wages
or even better beer, Is the only kind
Of better" one might get Slovak OF
a Lithuanian to think about, then the
only way to improve him is to inject
the thought "better" into the only
crevice to be found in his stupidity.
1t is explained by Mr.. Stewart that
the trade union lifts up the Lithuanian
Slovenian and Polander by getting hin,
to compare himself, not with what he
, was in the old country but with some
German or Irish family, and then
"stings him with the assertion that he
has as much right to live that way as
anybody"
stirs His Ambition.
The union attempts to show the i'm
| migrant: that he can live better only
by getting more money. and that by
joining the union he will get it. If left
alone lie would be entirely satisfied,
perhaps with what he was getting be-
fore.
In conclusion, Mr.. Stewart reports to
the president. that the union point of
view is that for Lithuanian peasant
to be contented, satisfied and happy
| with TIE Lithuanian standard Of living
in Anne RIGA is crime, a crime not only
against himself, but against America,
| and every one who wishes to make
| individual and social development pos
sible in America, and that whatever
the uIion's motive for creating dis
contens, the fact that it does create a
discomfort among the immigrants -
| which is the first step toward their
improvement and intimate Americans
| zation--renders the union SO far q pub
lie beaefactor.
