LABOR UNION OFFICERS.
Paid Organizers Necessary Agents Of
Union Success.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: l
must protest against the spirit and con-
tent of the editorial article IN THE Sun
entitled Serious Flaw in Rockefeller
Cooperative Plan"
You rail against Imported and SAL
aired a%gitators," as II the affairs OF a
great national or international trade
union could he conducted without paid
officials who devote their entire time to
organization work. Who. pray, is TO
carry on the affairs of n union with hun
dreds of thousands OF members scat
tered all over the continent, IL not it's
paid officers?
Do the officers of corporations work
for nothing? 10 the counsel who steer
a corporation through the shoals and
quicksands of the law work for love?
Then why should not the leaders chosen
by a great union to manage its affairs,
carry on its negotiations and keep the
organization together b. paid for their
work?
You imply that settlements between
capital and labor could be better made
without the Intervention of Outsiders"
meaning, OF course, the paid officers of
the union. living perhaps at a distance.
But you must know. as well as I. that
committees of local employees who make
unwelcome deman ds receive short shrift.
and that the only way safely to or
duct negotiations with an employer Is
by putting our case into the hands
of your attorney" namely. the officers
of your union. who. receiving their pay
from the union. are independent OF any
other employer. and besides are expert
enced In that line OF work.
Reference Is often made TO outside
agltators' going into n town and stir
ring up trouble. Such charges are usu-
ally false. though not always The pre-
liminarv stages of n strike are ncces-
sarily kept quiet. Usually the first step
when men want to make a move for
better conditions Is to call In the organ
izer of the union and confer as to the
chance OF success. Tn officers of the
union. being in touch with conditions
throughout the trade. are In the hest
position 20 advise the local union. Then
II a strike ls decided on. the outside
organizer in put in charge. first OF the
negotiations. then OF the strike, II II
goes that far. This is the sensible and
wise course 10 pursue. Then why all
this cant about outside agitators'?
Occasionally. however, a union or
ganizer goes into "A peaceful town. or
ganizes "A union. II he can. and calls a
strike. Is this not diaholical? why
does he do ulch a wicked thing? For
the simplest reason In the world.
Modern business is conducted on n
national or an ~nternationa basis. and
the product OF one locality comes into
competition with the product Of other
localities. when attempts are made TO
raise the wages In n section. the
union is often Informed that a raise is
impossible because some other and com-
Ieting district has a lower wage scale.
In order therefore to benefit themselves
an attempt must he made to organize
and raise the wage scale in the connect
