longer comes from the pulpit. 1t
comes rather from mis- union, If it
comes at all. The priest or minister
has no longer the respect and ad-
miration he had. In his place has
risen the labor leader, the man who
has been in the ranks, has educated
himself to be of help to his fellows,
has been placed by the ranks at the
head of the organization. He does
not prattle about things that are far
off. He speaks the language of the
worker He is ready to help the
workers better his condition. His in
f1uence is far-reaching.
Social Workers Duty.
These things must be recognized
by the social worker Who touches the
lives of artisans. clear understand
ing of the mission and the influence

to all those who wish to work sue
cessfully in rehabilitating families of
+ workers. They must come to see in
it one Of the most valuable agencies
for family rehabilitation. Most social
workers come from good families"
Their point of view is bound to be
different from that of the worker.
Their language differs from his. They
cannot see his problems through his
eyes. They are often preachy. They
cannot see why a man should do thus
and so when by doing differently he
may remain socially normal.
Labor Leaders Advantage.
Not so the labor leader. He I'M
derstands the man who is to be re-
habilitated. He can see things
through the eyes of that man. He
understands the reasons for his down.

! own language. He can touch the
spot which remains hidden to the
average social worker. He has the
| advantage of personal acquaintance,
often of friendship, of fellow yoke
manship always. He does not have
to lay out a special scheme for gain
Ing the confidence of the man in
whose rehabilitation he is to assist
He has that confidence. He can do
his work in an off-hand manner. He
does not preach. He simply advises,
counsels, and is patient, for patience
is the basis of leadership everywhere,
and most Of all in labor circles. The
social worker who would work ef-
ficiently and effectively among those
who fall below the line for a time
and who hold membership in labor
organizations should make use of
these peculiar gifts of the labor
leader, by cooperating with aim, or
rather by gaining his cooperation.
