First, there is its strength. The
growth of trades un1onism in recent
years has been one Of the most signi-
ficant things of modern times. Thfs
growth has brought with It a great
mass of enthusiastic fighters, but who
at the same time, are uninformed as
to the fundamental principles of their
cause. These will endanger the move
ment If no effort is made to give their
work intelligent direction. There must
be better team work." Their attack
must not be that Of the mob, but that
of the trained soldiers. Clearly, then,
the leaders must see to it that the
recruits shall have a course Of training
which will enable them to give a
reason for the hope that Is within
them"
Second, on account of the develop
ment of organized labor, there has
come to be a specialization of indus
tries even within it's ranks, which has
very naturally resulted in jurisdic-
tional strife. Even mob enthusiasm is
better than this, for the mob will re-
ce1ve sympathy from the neutral on.
locker, but jurisdictional strife not
only causes bitterness and hatred
within, but disgust and ridicule with
out.
Must Eauccte Public.
Third, organized labor must deal
not only with the ignorance of it's own
members but it must educate the gen.
eral public. It is lamentable that
even otherwise Intelligent business
professional men are in absolute ig-
rorance of the principles of organized
labor. If the public does not know
about trades unionism, it must be ad-
mitted that 1T. is the fault of organ
ICED labor. 1t is not the business Of
the outsider to inform himself con-
cernipg trades unionism. It is the
trades unions job to compel attention
ana TO correctly inform the outsider.
these are som. Ot the problems
which confront organized labor today.
That they will he adjusted in due
Tune, there can be no doubt but i'm
mediate attention to, them will have
many a year of struggle and a great
deal Of suffering and theartache. #

That Christ-like clergyman-Rev.
Charles Stelzle, calls attention to GER
tain matters that require careful con-
sideration at the hands of labor
unions truest friends. Speaking Of
those problems he says:
Trades unionism is passing through
critical period in its history. It will
always be on the verge of a crisis, be-
cause it has to do with life, for life
m cans growth, and growth means pain.
But there are certain conditions in
the Industrial world which call for

Only six weeks ago, the grand jury
had under consideration the case Of
one of the leading members Of tho
Real Estate Exchange who was
charged with robbing his client, by
padding bill for repairs on a build
ing, and pocketing the difference be-
tween the contractors price and the
amount charged to the client.
The client made some inquiry and
asked the reason for' such an excessive
bill. The agent Informed him that be-
cause of tho, tyranny of the unions
the cost Of building and repairs were
SO exorbitant This. the client believ-
ed, but he did not give up the investi-
cation. Pursuing 1t further to his ut

fleeced by his trusted" agent.
The members of the Real Estate Ex-
change have a code OF ethics far moro
binding than the rules of union.
Their method in handling sales, the d.
vision of commissions, and refusal to
transgress upon the sale of another,
are observed as "protection' to their
