DRAGS ON PROGRESS
Fair Weather Unionists Retard
labor's Advance.
MENDIcANTS OF INDUSTRY,

Workers Who Are Willing to Accept
Benefits From Trades Organizations
Without Aiding In Their Support.
Loyal to No Principle.
In recent strike by women, the pur-
pose being to secure an increase Of
wages from IS to $40 per week, several
Of the young women involved were
conversing upon the subject in q street
car. says a writer in Shoe Workers
Journal.
The main idea Of this group was how
best to secure the raise in wages and
at the same time avoid paying dues to
the union.
TO secure a raise In wages through a
union and then refuse to support the
union that secured the raise is not
new. but this is the drst time the
writer ever knew of a plan being con-
cocted to avoid all obligations to the
union which was to secure the raise
even before the raise had been secured
1t did not seem to occur to these
young women that the two dollar
weekly increase was worth having or
that, inasmuch as 1t required q union
to obtain it. 1t might also require a un-
ion to protect or retain 1t.
Nor is this idea peculiar only to these
young women.
Working people have always been
too prone to avail themselves Of the
strength Of labor unions temporarily
for the purpose of redressing the more
pressing grievances Of the immediate
present and. having accomplished this
much then abandon the union until
menaced by some new oppression
In the meantime it often suits their
fancy to speak disparagingly of the
union as being weak" or mo good"
when. as a matter Of fact, II the union
Is weak 1t is simply and solely because
those who are under obligations to it
and who are morally bound to support
1t have refused to give it any support.

while offering nothing In return and II

A wage Garner who tries through
union to get advanced wages and who
avoids giving anything to the union In
return may properly be termed an In
dustrial mendicant.
These Industrial mendicants are very
