has had to fight every inch of the
way. 1t has taken and given hard
blows in the effort.
But every trench that labor has
won in this long struggle has been
gained, not by voluntary concessions
from employers, but by organization.
And organization has been the means
by which labor has gained all its
victories, the means by which it has
established a shorter work day. better
wages, higher standard of living for
the whole working population.
DO the opponents of collective bar
gaining realize the extent of their
purpose?
do they realize that the abolition
of collective bargaining would mean
the breaking up of organized labor?
Do they know that they are striking
the heart of the whole world labor
movement, and do they realize that
organized labor will fight with the
resolution and desperation of men
who are fighting for their lives, for
their families, for all that organized
labor has so hardly won and holds SO
dear?
Have not the adversaries of or
ganized labor sufficient knowledge of
history and human nature to tell them
that what capital and organized So
ciety have most to fear is not the
victories but the defeats of organized
labor?
1T is not an answer to the argu-
ments in favor of the organization of
labor to point out abuses tolerated or
injustices done, here and there, by
labor unions. No human institution
is perfect. But organized labor, as it
becomes more powerful, becomes at
the same time more far seeing and
acquires greater sense of re-
sponsibility.
What mistakes are made, what
abuses exist, will be corrected in time
and from within the labor movement.
Labor unions and collective bar
gaining have come to stay, because
they are necessity to modern
civilization.
In my own business I have found
that organizations of men in unions
has helped me just as much as it has
helped the men. Organized labor
makes better conditions for labor and
thereby more efficient and better
work. l have found collective bar
gaining very satisfactory. 1t provides
responsible body with which tC
deal. 1t maintains a control of the
men by themselves, which takes a
great burden off the employer. Nc
union has ever broken contract with
me.
Labor has become partner in the
business of the world and must be
treated as a partner. Employers OF
labor are fast learning that unions
have come to stay.
Our city has changed and grown il
i the same degree as the youth has into
manhood, the brigatine to the oceaT
greyhound. Our products are exported
to all parts of the world. Our indus
tries are thriving, in the driving OF the
