The Power OF British
Trade [ Mons

II should De understood. TO oegih
with. that if the trade unions Of Great
Britain should demand peace negotia-
tjons tomorrow morning, ii would be
really quite difficult for the government
70 carry the war on with appropriate
military and industrial vigor. l am
more astonished every day at the power
Of British labor. When an employer

over he is going to get after these trade
union fellows and do them in YOU think
at first. being an American, that he
means that he is going to try to smash
their organizations and refuse to recog-
nize them. In nine cases out of ten, how
ever. YOU soon find, as he goes on talk
ing. that all he means is that he is going

amazingly stringent shop rules which.
they have inflicted on him.
Again. so far as the government are
concerned (the are" is right British
government is not a one-man thing; 1t
is a Cabinet of men; it is not Mr.. As
ouith* and subordinates; it is Mr.. As
auth and colleagues, al equally respon-
sible to Parliament; it is a plural, both
in British fact and in British grammar.
So far. then. as the government are con-
cerned. they not only have Arthur Hen
derson. from the honfounders, for
member of the Cabinet, and G.. H. Rob
erts. from the printers, for a Junior
Lord of the Treasury, but they also have
a Consultative Committee Of fifteen
prominent labor leaders brought to-
gether by Mr.. Henderson, and they have
it i'm order that they may get the IN
slant practical advice of large number
of practical trade Unionists, officially
recognized, with regard to government
al projects affecting trade union inter
ests.

mans. He had nothing good to say
about war as a test" of a nation or as
a means of national discipline" But
the duty of Britons in the present actual
practical circumstances seemed to him
clear. And such is the talk Of the great
majority Of labor leaders in Great Brit
ain and of the great majority of rank
and file members Of trade unions.
There are eXceptions-exceptions which
are numerous. That is, they are nu
merous if you are thinking about scores
of thousands, or perhaps, at the most.
of a few hundreds of thousands. They
cease utterly to be numerous when you
are thinking about the 2,750,000 trade
unionists of the country.

the final conclusion of the war. 1t
seems not unthinkable lust now that
through these conferences-or through
other similar ones-British labor and
British capital may arrive at an under
standing quite unprecedented in any
country for mutual measures leading
toward the diffusion of prosperity at
home and the promotion of the export
trade abroad. Ii would amount to a
combine" between labor and capital in
this country for Joint action in develop
ing British manufacture and commerce

excessively throughout the world. And

The Case of a PaCifSt;
"HeIp Ne in Prayer"

As for the pacifsts, do not wish to
be taken as disparaging them. There
is a conscientious objectOr here named
Stephen Hobhouse. A government con-
Quoting a war cannot allow people to IN
terfere with recruiting. Abraham Lin
coins government punished people for
interfering with recruiting. This gov
eminent does, too. 1t is inevitable.
Nevertheless, in many cases, as IN the
case of Stephen Hobhouse, one feels the
necessity Of the punishment and at the
same time the nobility Of the prisoner.
Stephen Hobhouse wrote letter the
other day, from which | take the follow
ing sentences: please remember that
do not want any kind of protest or agi-
tatiOn made over me or over any re-
Striction put on me. II any
thing seems hard, use it only to help me

eminent suggested it. Well. the GOV
eminent enacted it, It was law. The
management committee of the Fedora
ton of Trade Unions had refused to take
part in calling a convention OF trade
unionists to protest against it. In this
refusal it was supported by the Parlla-
mentary committee of the Trades Union
Congress and by the national executive
committee of the Labor party. It
seemed that a majority of the people OF
Great Britain wanted compulsory SER

Employers. Not Labor, Lacked
Patriotic FerVOr

The idea that British labor is "un-
patriotic" is, | am convinced, pure de-
lusion-delusion fostered in Great Brit
ain and projected into neutral countries
by the high-minded loquacity of rela-
lively small group of pacitists and by
the low-minded aDusiveness Of a more
considerable group of employers. AS
for the employers, shall show in one OF

"IndusfriaI Truce" When the
War is over

After all, though, the best illustra-

the conferences now going ON between

Of employees called the Parliamentary
