SYMPATHETIC STRIKE
DECLARED UNLAWFUL

Justice Gerard 5 opinion handed down
last Saturday. in the case of Schlang &
Lexington. against the Ladies Snirtwaist
Makers Union. has gone one step further
in the process of depriving labor from a
few rights il enjoys. The Justice
held that it is illegal to strike for any
thing else than for fewer hours and
higher wages. According TO this decision
Il sympathetic strike becomes illegal. and
it would be safe to state that would this
opinion prevail in Philadelphia. during
the time of the street strike. no gen
eral strike would be possible.
The plaintiffs in this case sued to en-
join the union. who had declared a strike
in their place because they manufactured
waists for shops that had not been union
lied. The justice. in his opinion,
thought that union s right to strike was
limited to a demand for a higher wage
and n shorter workday. But to strike
against doing work for another firm
meant interfering with the divine rights
of the employer, and he won I stand for

In supporting the bill, A.semblyman

SOLONS REFUSE TO

ing that it be ruled out of order
The speaker took the cue and de-
clared the amendment not germane.
Hughes appealed from the decision of
the chair.
1t was to be test vote. Weakened
congressman gave out feint ripple of
ayes in sustaining the chair.
A scattering chorus of sturdy moe
spoke for labor.
Pledges of the Democrats and prom
lses of the Republicans were alike cast
to the winds when standing vote show
ed but a third of the entire house ready
to keep its word and protect organized
labor from the deadly measures of the
Sherman antitrust act that has already
opend its jaws to mulct one labor union,
the Hatters, of quarter of a million
dollars.
Soon after the session, Representative
Hughes frankly stated his belief that this
was probably the one and only time dur
ing the sitting of the Sixty-first congress
when every man the floor had been
compelled to stand for or against labor.

desk, explained the New Jersey con-
gressman, who carries union card

An amendment was offered on the
floor of the senate, letter for letter, and
word for word, as my measure appeared

UNI0NISW

Organized labor has accom- plished much
in America. To it we owe our public
schools, free ballot and many other
privileges and rights now enjoyed by the
workers. Organized labor has fought
magnificent battles and won splendid vic
tories on American soil says the Baker $
Journal
For almost Il century, with many des-
Perate struggles, heart breaking crises,
glorious victories and occasional crush
ing defeats, the movement of organized
labor has proceeded onward and up-
ward
There have been times when the outlook
was dark. In the terrible days of 1877,
1887 and 1894 the enemies of unionism
were crushed out of C.istence Yet the
crisis past and blows that were thought
to have crushed were found to have but
served to forge better weapon for the
fight.
Once more the unions of America are
confronted with a crisis. 1t is not so
spectacular as preceding ones. There
has been no crushing defeat in n great
nation wide strike. There has been no
sudden wiping out of whole battalions of
organized labor.
On the contrary, the crisis has crept
upon us so quietly and insidiously that
its very existence has scarcely been
noticed.
The union exists to increase the share
of the product going to labor and to i'm
prove the conditions of labor If it
cauuot do these things it has failed of it's
mission.
Until within little more than decade
az" thc unions were able, Oh the whole.

members. They raised wages from an

day to three, four and five times that
sum in many trades. They transformed
an almost universal twelve-hour day into
an almost equally universal eight hour
day in the skilled trades.
All these things they have done and
many more. Nor is their work finished
So long as workingmen must sell their
| labor power for chance to live. their
only hope of even maintaining even n
| decent human existence lies in organiza
| ton.
| But we would be foolish TO shut our
eyes to the fact that the union mavement
| in America is passing through one OF
the most critical periods of its long
| career
One tremendous fact proves this.
For fifteen years the cost of living has
| advanced faster than the unions have
been able to raise wages, go that today
wages are actually lower than they were
! in 1896
This is the statement of the United
States department of labor. which al
ways seeks to make the best showing
| possible to prove the prosperity OF
| American workingmeu.
There is no doubt that the condition
would have been much worse had it not
been for the resistance offered by the
unions Yet. if whatever is gained ir
