Again the papers Haunted their bold
headlines, but the battle Of law was
soon ended. Hargreaves, the irwin
chile, had won another victory.
It was not In victorious frame Of
mind, however. that he approached the
hotel dining room. In fact, his heart
was hammering away in great fear
that the girl whose very name was I'M
known to him might not be there. For
an instant the lights and flowers dane
ed before him in a confused crimson
blur, and then through it all her face
shone out white and radiant. As her
eyes met his she arose, one hand out
stretched in greeting, while across her
face there flashed joyous welcoming
smile. The waiter looked up in as
constituent at the jubilant sound of the
lawyers voice.
"Third table," said Iargreaves.

studied bis face with an unconscious
intentness. while Eargreaves, half an

to seek Tom in the smoking room when
waiter approached.
"Mr. Hargreaves?" he questioned
The lawyer nodded a curt affirmative.
"You are wanted at the third table,
sir" he said.
Hargreaves Immediately followed. So
Tom had been coolly enjoying his own
meal, while he waited outside. With
an obsequious bow the waiter drew
forth a chair at the third table, and
the lawyer stood hesitating in en-
barrassment as he looked down into
the face of the girl.

LABOR MOVEMENT
Just. Orderly and Beneficial to
Society.
= REAL EDUCATIONAL FORCE.

Trade Unionism Seeks to Change
Standards by Which the Laborer's
Share Is Decided-FIarmonizes With
the Tendency of the Times.
Discussing the trade union movement
in the American Federationist, Allan
Studholme, member Of the Ontario leg
islative assembly, says:
The trade union movement during the
past siXty-tive years has been one of
the most powerful influences in deter
mining the national character and to
greater extent than any other move
ment of recent times instrumental in
obtaining social and economic reforms,
Its bitterest enemy must admit that,
however unjustifiable some Of its acts
may have been during its partial or
ganiZatiOn, it can not be said that
trade unions ever resorted to the eX-
IRENE hatred, tyranny and persecution
exempIitied in the earlier organization
of ecclesiastical and other similar
bodies.
Labor receives no more consideration
than it is in Il position TO demand and
enforce Unaided by cooperation OF
his fellows the individual laborer
would be reduced to a pitiable state;
united. all are in position to arbitrate
q Just division of the profits of their
toll That labor unions uniformly Sc
cure better wages. shorter hours OF
labor, improved conditions and better
treatment, needs no demonstration. No
one worthy of the name would or
should enjoy these advantages without
willingly joining the union and aiding
in determining its policy and contrib
uting to the expenses of its mainte-
nance, and yet there are individuals
who not only do that very thing. but
abuse the union that helps TO feed
them.
1t can not be denied that trade unions
make for a higher class of workman
ship, and that the most skilled artisans
are found in their ranks. Trade unions
care for their sick and needy, bury
the dead, and comfort and aid the
widows and orphans. They educat"
their members on economic lines, and
without entering partisan politics teach
the workingmen the true significance
of the ballot.
Upon one principle of partial justice,
unprejudiced men are agreed. They
hold that wages should be sufficiently
high to enable the laborer to live in
manner commensurate" with the
dignity of a human being While in
sisting that every aborer has at least
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1911-10-20

a right to a living wage, the trade
union does not admit that this is full
and adequate justice in the case of any
class of laborers. The labor movement
implies an orderly effort, not only to
wrest concessions from the employer.
but also to secure recognition from
society. 1t seeks to change present
standards by which the laborer's share
In production is decided, and disputes
the right Of the employer alone to
determine what fair treatment should
be. 1t aims at industrial democracy
and is in harmony with the worldwide
tendency of the times.
To seek to destroy the unions be-
cause of their defects would be like at
tempting to abolish government be-
cause of its abuses. The unions with
all their faults represent a forward
movement of the human race they
cultivate q spirit of self-reliance and
mutual assistance which ought to more
than compensate for their faults. AS
free citizens the wage earners have the
make certain demands for their welfare
and to strike if the demands are not
granted. An employee has the right
to say that he will sell his labor
on condition that he is not to work
with obnoxious persons. In like man
ner laborers can combine to sell their
labor collectively.
The reason why union men refuse to
work in the same shop with non
unioniSts may be summarized as fol
lows: A shop with union and non
union men is like a house divided
against itself There is a constant at
tempt to organize entirely, and an in
cessant struggle to disorganize com
pletely. 1t is easy to speak of the
open shop in which the employer does
not care whether his men are union
men or not. But the union can not
accomplish it's most important object
unless the employer deals with it as
union. the employer can not be made
to enter into a collective bargain, and
without the collective bargain the con
ditions of labor are hardly fixed by
bargaining at all.
The workingman of today belongs to
a group. and whether he will or not
acts with his group and is treated like
others of his group, he works the time
worked by the others. receives the
wages paid others of his class and
obeys the same regulations, and what
affects one of his class affects all. The
non-unionist has no moral right to
seek his own temporary advantage at
the expense of the permanent interests
of all workingmen. If the union has
Il right to exist, it has right to insist
on those conditions which are neces
sary for its existence, and it cannot
,Xist if non-union men are permitted
to take the places of union men.

UNIONS ARE NEEDED.

Employers have ever regarded
: labor unions as hostile to their
rights; they have so regarded
: them, because it has been the
business of organized workers to
: get shorter hours. better condi-
lions. safer tools and a larger
: share of production than the
workman individually could ob
tain.
Capital has ever resented the
: interference of organized labor
with what it calls Its rights.
Capital can never understand
. that labor should have any voice
in managing the Industrial insti
. tutions of the land.
If employers and employees
alike. from the earliest time,
have agreed that labor unions
benefited the workman by giving
larger wages. shorter hours and
better conditions, little further
proof should be required.
