LABOR HELPS IN CRISIS

The labor movement has done much
in the crisis of the European war,
but it has been hampered by lack of
funds. The same obstacle is felt in
carrying out ideals and plans for
greater helpfulness in all international
relations
This agency remained because it
was founded for an unselfish purpose.
because it did not exist for the hope
of gain, because all of its efforts were
bent upon the protection and assist
ance of human beings. The labor
movement owes it's existence to the
needs of men. It expresses their hope
for the future. 1t continues because
it meets the needs of the people, and
it maintains it's power and its vigor
in proportion as it keeps itself free
from the agencies of greed and of sell
fish interest that would use it to fur
Their their own purposes or would
weaken it to eliminate it's opposition
In this country as the desires of men
increase and are more urgent, the
need for the labor movement becomes
greater. In the period of distress and
disrupture that followed, mems
thoughts and mems hopes were turn
ed to the labor movement of America
Whether organized or unorganized,
they knew they could depend upon
that organization to help them in
their time of need.
In the times of peace, the labor
movement is the constructive force in
the industrial world which brings sys-
TEN, organization and opportunity for
progress into industrial relations be-
tween employers and employees. 1t is
the democratic medium by which the
toilers can work out their problems,
remedy wrongs and secure for them.
selves ever increasing opportunity for
better living.
Industrial organization is now upon
too large scale to permit of haphaz-
ard methods and disorganized condi-
tons in any of it's relations. Employ
ers have found that their interests in
industry must be very highly system
atiZed If they are to survive In the
struggle with their competitors. EN-
ployes can not remain helpless dis
organized mass with inarticulate wants
and needs If they are not to be crush

name and unwise policy would result
in reducing the workers to a condi-
ton for which only industrial revolu-
lions and rebellions would secure bet
terment, protection or justice. Such
policy is not worthy Of an enlighten-
ed nation. 1t is subversive to all the
ideals of industrial progress or indus
trial craftsmanship.
1t has become a generally accepted
fact that all relations of life must be
so organized that there shall be in
existence agencies for constructive
development and gradual and natural
progress-agencies whereby the prob

ships can be worked out without up
heavals or unnecessary disturbances

PEACE BASED ON JUSTICE

fGACG bASED YIN JUSTICE
The trade union movement holds
that peace in any relationship can be
secured only when justice prevails
and that peace follows because men
are accorded their rights and are as
sured opportunities for necessary pro-
gress. The trade union movement is
founded upon democratic principles,
therefore, it holds that people have
a right to work out their own saliva
ton according to their own ideals. In
accord with this ideal it refuses to
sanction any effort to interfere with
others who are working out their own
problems. Further, it holds that it
ought to take advantage of every OPP
portunity to plan for peace in a con-
structive way. At the Philadelphia
Convention, the trade union move
ment endorsed a proposal that when
the nations shall meet to determine
upon conditions of peace at the con-
clusion of the present war, that rep
resentatives of the wage-earners-the
great masses of all the nations-ought
to be present in order to present and
insist upon conditions and declara-
tons that shall provide for the safety
and the advancement of human vel
fare and shall maintain human rights
as of greater importance than any
other consideration. The trade union
movement insists that human being
is of greater importance than the pro
duct of his toll. The human being is
the creator and in him lies that inf
nitely valuable thing-creative genius.
Creative genius is the thing that civil
lization and the agencies of civiliza-
ton ought to protect This is the
principle which the trade union move
ment has endorsed, and which it pro-
poses to further in all of the councils
of state.
AS we have said again and again,
the trade union movement is as wide
and as deep as human life. There is
nothing that concerns human life that
is foreign to the labor movement
While the efforts of the trade union
movement are directed first of all to
secure certain material benefits, these
benefits are for the purpose of pro.
noting and advancing human life. 1t
has been demonstrated that the short
er workday lengthens the lives of the
workers. 1t gives them opportunities
for better living 1t is indisputable
that higher wages provide the work.
ers with the necessities for better
living, and therefore makes better
men and women. Improved conditions
of work protect the health of the
workers, conserve their productive
power and make them of greater val
ue to themselves and the nation.
