.Anltversary.)
The change that has taken ciacs
N regard to what is called the labor
question during the past few years is
as suggestive as it is remarkable.
1t has been but q little while age
since organized workers were almost
completely ignored outside Of their
own immediate circles. Their little
unions. If they existed at all. met in
some back room of an upper story.
ana what they did attracted no more
attentiC1 IN the community ut larc..
than II they had not been born.
How vastly different it is today.
The labor question has expanded
with the industrial development unit!
today it is recognized to bc a u,1es-
tIon OF questions in every civilized
nation on earth. The little Unions.
LOO. nave grown. but it must lie admit
ted in all candor that they nave not
kept pace i'll point Of Intelligence and
power with the industrial develop
ment.
1t is true that the numbers have
Increased amazingly. but the ccC.,omi ic
power to correspond to these number:
is not in evidence.
If the two millions of wage work.
sers who are said TO be organized wer,
really conscious Of their class interests
thcE would represent power that
would largely influence. if it did not
actually control, the industrial :.nd So
clal destiny OF the nation.
ihe workers have grown amazingly
in this process during the past few
years, and arc CT c different t;re ana
statute than they were a generation
ago. But yet. as we examine the field
and compare the capacity of the nrga-
'liZcd workers with the trem endcus
task which cantronts them, it must be
admitted thai they are still wocfully
lacking.
The trouble seems to be that they
do not sufficiently profit by their bitter
experience
II must be plain to them in Tie
light of their fiery ordeal through
which they are passing that they
must unite in one aggressive body
economically uron the one hand ana
politically upon the other. That the :.
must make COmnC.l cause and develop
| that robust type OF working class ac!-
idarity which can stand against the
wcrld.
Let us hcre that during the months

tions will get together i'll closer and
closer touch. IL moro perfect har-
