THINKING FOR OURSELVES

Time brings many changes. One of
dency of the workers to greater indie
pendence of thoufht This is little OBJ
served by many who pride themselves
on the possession of great wisdom and
education.
In former times the opinions of the
higher educated were accepted as
gospel by the masses. The hum
buggery, not the virtue; the false
teachings, not the right teachings, Of
have lent their share to induce indie
pendent thinking on the part of the
workers. The ready leaning of the
higher educated towards the employer
as the only party to the act of en-
ployment; their teaching of non-inter-
ference with existing conditions; their
weak grasp of the everyday industrial
situation and their visionary remedies
have opened the minds of the workers
ganize for themselves.
Where formerly fear ignorance, in
difference and inactivity marked the
attitude of the workers towards their
own interests they now have a de-
liberate object in view.
From the nebulous theories and
lei i1sl IL
form of relief they are steadily turn
ing and becoming convinced of the
necessity of live methods that can be
practically applied to living issues, to
everyday conditions with some hope
of material relief from burdensome
conditions.
This study, observation and reflec-
ton, this live form of everyday edu-
cation and independent thinking has
given to the workers the present trade
union movement. In the remedy Of
fered which they never found in the
remedies offered by the higher edu-
Gated, they secured rights, improved
labor laws, improved wages, reduced
hours of toll, and by unionism the
workers found relief in conditions Of
labor, higher standards of living and
self-protection. They have secured
their own organization, so portentious
of the benefits to come.
Trade unions have educated the
educated to the necessity of a mill
tant organization of the workers.
While their follies and weaknesses
