Unions alone developed. There is no
time in Los Angeles for any such fu-
tile, hairsplitdng PHILOSOPHERS.
The movement in Los Angeles Is
full Of glorious inspiration. The
Trade Unions have risen above their
Craft spirit, and have stood forth to
represent the entire working class Of
that city. The leaders all declare the
necessity of organizing the unskilled.
They are working toward the day
when the Trade Union will be pow
erful enough to protect every man,
woman and child who tolls. This Is
a truly magnificent ideal, and 1t lies
not far ahead; yet to this task the
workers of Los Angeles add another,
which includes the political organiza-
ton of every man, woman and child.
When these two great ideals have
been even partially worked out, It
will mean that the workers of Los
Angeles will dominate, the industrial
and political life of that splendid city.
The lives of the workers in the shops
will have all the protection that the
Trade Unions can offer. The lives
of the workers in their homes will
have all the protection that an hon
est working class administration can
give. This will mean sanitary Inn
provements, better houses, labor legis-
lation, impartial courts and all else
that can benefit Labor In the pres
ent regime.
When Labor can achieve such
tremendous things by unity and solid
arity, surely it is well to ask our
selves: Can that be really the friend
of the working class who Is forever
creating division by putting political
action against Trade Union action
and Industrial Unionist against Craft
Uuionist? There are a million ways
Of dividing the working class. Cranks
and fanatics can often do 1t as Ell
fectively as Rfnkerton operators and
corrupt leaders. But the hour IS not
far distant when the working class
will refuse to tolerate any divisions.
