A STRIKE DEFINED.
John Mitchell Says II Is Simply q
Means Of Bargaining.

In recent address at Minneapolis
John Mitchell. vice president of the
American Federation of Labor. said In
part:
Trade unionism should not be as-
sailed because some Of its members
have been guilty OF wrongdOing Just
as a church should not be assailed be
cause some OF its members have been
guilty of wrongdOing. so the trade un-
ion should not be condemned because
some of its members have not done
the right thing
We have made mistakes. That is
but human. Show me an institution
Of any kind dealing with affairs of
people that has not made a mistake
and l will show you an institution
that hasn't accomplished anything
worth while.
The statement is often made that
the trade union movement was organ
lied for the purpose Of resorting to
strikes. This is not true. Strikes are
only resOrted TO when necessary and
usually only when unavoidable. The
average workman loses but one day a
year as result of strike. and the
length of the average strike is but
twenty-three days.
What Is strike? II is simply a
means of bargaining. The proper con-
ception OF u strike is simply the en-
ployer and the employed exercising
their rights. I deny that trade unions
were formed for the purpose OF strikes.
although 1t Is often said that they are.
They are organizations for the better
ing Of conditions of the laboring man.
and a strike is called as n means to
this end Labor unions no more want
strikes than the United States wants
war
Some people maintain that a strike
should never be called unless the end
to be gained Is greater than the cost
of the strike | do not believe this.
The Revolutionary war cost the Amer
lean colonistS many, many times as
much as would taxation without rep
resentation. yet the principle for which
1t stood was such as to merit the Civ
ing up Of their lives.
Abraham Lincoln said. 81 thank God
that we have q system of labor where
there can be strikes"

LABOR TEMPLE PAYS.
Toronto Unions Find Building Profit
able Investment.


The ninth annual report of the To
ronto Labor Temple company has been
submitted to the shareholders and is a
splendid demonstration Of the truth
that under careful and efficient man
agement a labor temple can be made
a business success.
The report shows the total amount
Of capital invested in the temple ag-
gregates Sl6,99l. raised 10y he sale Of
shares at 81 each. The total assets Of
the company, according to the report.
now stand at S53.l26.7G as compared
with a total liability TO shareholders
and creditors of S25.G5O.20, thus giving
a surplus Of S27,476.56
Last year the temple company had a
cash balance Of So, 1862, while for the
fiscal year just closed the amount in
bank and on hand was S5.SS1.5G. or
the largest balance ever reported by
the company.
The net profits for the year just
closed represent a dividend OF over IS
per cent. which will be applied to the
liquidation of the mortgage. which was
reduced from $1,000 to $500 during
the year.
In estimating the assets no account
is made for appreciation since posses
sion was assumed. although it IS stat
ed that the property is fully worth
$4,000.
Efforts are to be put forth during
the present year for the purpose of
nquidating the entire mortgage debt,
and if the revenue continues the same
as 1t did last this can be accomplished.
