PROBLEMS
To Find Remedies
For Evil Condi-
tons That Now
Prevail Among
Us Is Its Mission

Practical, indeed, are the prob
lens labor uniOniSm has to deal
with. Stern facts face the work
ing people of the world. They
find themselves liveing in the most
advance stage Of the worlds his
tory, in the midst of plenty and
luxury, With innumerable in
centlvcs to urge them to reach for
high advantages and get forced by
unnatural conditions to subsidc to
the lowest levels Of living. They
see the majority suffer that the
minority may surfcit, the work
ers may show in splendor, the
earncrs embarrassed by pinching
poverty that the idlcrs may enjoy
excessive indulgence.
These facts that are too real to
be overlooked, too unjust to be
endured.
Says Margaret Scott Hall:
"Two hemispheres gasp in as

similar to the historic folly Of the
Egyptian queen. In this glimpse
of Fifth avenue luxury run riot,
the disinterested spectator sees Il

To find remedy for these evil
conditions IS the mission Of labor
unionism
The working people are the
wealthmakers. The labor union
seeks to make them wealth-en
joyers. 1t gets down to the prac-
tical side Of the question. Low
wages, inadequate compensation
of labor, give the vast portion of
the products Of labor to those who
do not deserve them.
The fault is more with the work
ers than the others. They are not
alive to the ideals Of living and
government. They can remedy con
dltlons when they will. They
must be awakened: they must be
taught to resist Injustice: they
must be invested with aspirations
that will not down. These are
the tasks unionism has under
taken. They are fundamental and
essential. Wither they will lead
