THE ONE RIGHT OF LABOR.

America is evidently in the midst OF
a new trade union movement. The ap-
parent period OF calm which followed
the memorable strikes of 1907 is about
ended Labor is moving and organic
ing. new demands are being daily made,
strikes are threatened In many indus
tries and the record of labor clashes
during the present year equals that of
any year on record. With as many
strikes promised as have been settled
since the first of the year. 1t seems not
unlikely that 1910 will reach a high
water mark in the grievances of labor
unions and in the trade differences
which have cost millions and gained
nothing.
With every strike there are new &C.
mands. and With every victory the
stakes of the trade union claims are
advanced. Twenty years ago the con-
test was simply one for the right of
organization; the unions wanted to live
and fought for life. Since that time
the minimum wage has come into play
collective bargaining has been devised
employers liability has been made
an integral part of the unionist pro-
paganda, shorter hours, the limited
apprentice system, longer hours OF
recreation. the abolition of the fellow
workman theory and half dozen other
claims have been advanced by the adj
vocates of the union.
Many of these claims have been ad-
mitted. Labor has been recognized as
a class and has been given privileges
which no other class has ever enjoyed.
One looks in vain through the statute
books for laws which give to capital
or to any other class special privileges
as class, but one cannot look over a
single code of any civilized country
without finding scores of statutes in
which labor is given particular privi-
leges, immunltes, rights and liberties.
No other class has special lien upon
all contracts to which II is party; no
other class has laws which protect Its
hours of recreation; no other class is
guaranteed certain fixed days work.

may seem to what labor leaders de-
clare in their demands for new rights.
every law book in Christendom has
written on 1t the class supremacy OF
labor.
Yet these triunlphs only encourage
labor leaders to demand still more. Is
this Just and is 1t fair? Has labor any
special privileges and is it guaranteed
particular rights, involate and sacred
forever? Is there anything in the the
DRY Of labor that should distinguish 1t
as a class and protect 1t as such?
If the truth be told. labor has but
one Fundamental right, and all the
other rights which have been given in
addition are usurpations yielded to the
spirit of the times. Labor must have
free exercise and free contract. This
is all, and this much 1t must be guar
antecd under any government. II the
laborer be unfairly treated. he should
be protected by the State-not as =
laborer, but as n man. If he be unable

as an individual. are safeguarded.
Yet the right which the State should
guarantee to any laborer 1t should
guarantee to all laborers, and If it
insists that one man has the right to
labor. in organization, 1t should insist
that the next man has the right to la
Dor without an organization. When
the right OF free labor is denied, the
special rights Of all labor and all its
claims for protection must cease.

be protected by the State.
The trend of the times is against
this doctrine, as the laws which we
have cited plainly show; but there
must be an end to the legislation which
marks off any class OF citizens as es-
pecIally to be protected or especially
to be safeguarded. The end of govern
ment is equal rights for all and special
privileges for none, and when this end
is not attained government fails

make similar allowances and permit
