was attended by delegates from ninety
FIVE labor organizations with an aggre-
gate membership of $4,000 workers.
How this army has grown in little more
than quarter of century to enormous
enrolment of 27,OOO UNIONS having more
than 100000 members is as much Of
romance as can be conveyed by dry
figures.
The greatest growth Of this remarkable
body has occurred during the present
century. As late as the year 1899 there
was a total membership of only $4,000
workers but from that, time the census
figures of the organization went up by
leaps and bounds In 1900 the member
ship was more than half million and by
the close Of 1908 fully one and one-half
million toilers were enrolled under the
banner of the organization. During the
past few years as high as two hundred
applications have been received In
single month for charters for new unions.
These applications, it should be ex-
planned, came from unions which had
no national or International afiliations
and represented entirely new growth.
There are q number of different kinds
of units In the mosaic Of organized labor
which has its headquarters at the capital
|. of the nation. Primarily the American
Federation is made up Of constituent and
representative bodies. In the former class
are included federal labor unions, inde-
pendent local unions, national unions and
international unions. The representative
bodies, on the other hand, consist Of
central labor unions and state branches.
The federal labor unions are societies
consisting of wage earners working at
different trades and mixed unions of this
kind are only established In localities
where there are not enough workers en-
gagged at the several trades to form sep
arate specialized unions Independent
local unions are also bodies directly af-
Aliated with the Federation but this
state Of things can continue only 80 long
as there are too few unions Of the given
trade to permit the formation OF ma
tional union of that trade.
Most important Of the wheels within
wheels of this complex organization are
the national or international unions each
of which Is composed of a number OF
local unions, ranging from less than
score to many hundreds Of such bodies,
whose members all belong to the same
trade The central labor Unions are rep
resentative bodies composed Of delegates
from each local union In any given city.
Similarly the state branches are repre-
sentative bodies made up Of delegates
from the local unions and central labor
unions In given State of the Union.
One of the main objects of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is the unincation
of labor and the encouragement Of local,
city,, national and international unions
but an essential purpose is the securance
of legislation favorable to the Industrial
classes and 1t is chiefly to this end that
the body maintains Its headquarters at
the seat Of government. The manner IN

working classes have put themselves In

world.
The American Federation of Labor was
not the first vast federated body to be
projected. AS early as 1866 there was In
the field delegate body known as the
National Labor Union and this was fol-
lowed by q long succession Of other
similar organizations both secret and
open. Most of them, however. made the

willing to sacrifice some valuable time
