Twelve cities of the United States

date to this the organization has been
known as the United Brotherhood of

Congressman Sulzer, of New York,

responsibility of a corporation and 4

'In my opinion there is great dis
tinction between the legal responsibility
of corporation and trades union. They
differ widely 4 corporation is an arti-
fetal person created by law and what
the state creates the state has a right to
regulate. The trades union is Il volun-
tary association of free individuals pos
scssed of the same cights of action rs be-
ing to individuals and destitute of cor

tv. The judges and lawyers of England
and America invented for labor-unions
the rule of corporate responsibility and
sought to punish their acts as conspira-
cies in restraint of trade. This legal no.

ishcd and made it lawful for an associa-
ton of workingmen to do whatever is le-
gal for an individual workingman.

THE WELFARE PLANS
OF CORPORATIONS
Are Promoted to Delude and Enslave
the Toiling Masses Says the Cleve-
Land Citizen.

Another obstacle of considerable I'M
portance that is being rolled into the
pathway of organized labor is the acci-
dent insurance and old age pension
schemes that are being devised and in
augurated by various trusts and cor
porations. In nearly every instance dur
ing the past few years these "benefit
systems are put in effect by the most
greedy and relentless foes of trade un-
ions, and they are offered as concessions
and bribes when the workers display dis
satisfaction and threaten to organize.
Thus the International Harvester Trust
Morgan concern, captained by George
w. Perkins, shining light in the Civic
Federation, several years ago demolished
all outward signs of unionism in its
plants and introduced "welfare'
scheme that has aroused the admiration
of the other workingman s friends in
the Civic Federation. Swift 6 Co., one
of the "Big Six in the Beef Trust,
followed suit, then the c. B. & O., the
Pennsylvania Lines and other railway
corporations adopted the idea. Next came
the Lake Carriers Association and now
come the National Metal Trades Asso-
citation and the United States Steel Cor
poration. All present betterment' -
schemes that upon their face appear to
be the quintessence of philanthrophy, but
upon closer examination are found to be
whitened sepulchres. In every instance
the workman is rewarded for faithful SER
vice performed, not with what justly be-
longs to him and while he is toiling to
enrich the master class, but when he is
inn jured killed or wornout by hard
labor and thrown upon the scrap heap to
make room for younger men. Super
fetal thinkers may imagine that the
trusts and corporations really pay insur-
ance and pensions from their own Golfers,
which is an erroneous impression. In
most cases dues anr assessments are bold
ly and openly taken from the pay en-
velopes of employees and placed in the
funds, but in all cases where the corpora
tions make n pretense to contribute to
the funds, wages are first lowered and
portions of the loot converted into ''wel-
fare'' work, or labor is driven harder
and forced to produce more wealth than
formerly, or prices are raised so that
all labor and the so-called public at large
must pay the benevolences- - The trust
magnates pay nothing. They make
greater profits than ever. Then these rob-
bers pose as saints and their debauched
press weaves halos about their heads. But
it is doubtful whether these hypocritical
schemes will retard the work of organiza-
tion to any great extent. Intelligent
| workingmen, thanks to their own labor
publications and organizations, are begin
ming to see through the "welfare plans -
| that are promoted to elslave them.

for steel tonnage was increased one per
cent above the 1909 rate.
The significant feature of this, is that
normally the greatest risk is attached to
wooden tonnage, especially to those in the
lumber trade, but nearly all of that class
of vessels employ competent seamen, un-
Ion men, and were not involved in the
strike. Hence, they made a good show
ing last season and have now secured a
reduction of rates
On the other hand, the big majority of
steel vessels are in the Lake Carriers As
sociation and were manned by strike
breakers. Accidents were numerous and
insurance risks greater because of en-
ployment of incompetent seamen.
Since the union men have now an
nounced their determination to continue
the strike this season, the insurance COM
panies evidently expect the many disas-
tiers of last season due to inexperienced
crews, to be again repeated, and have
accordingly raised the insurance rates on
such vessels.m
The Lake Carriers are again recruit
