Following Honor's Path

TT is gratifying to The Times Dispatch that
its view Of the sanctity OF labor contracts
has received the approval OF the head of Il
great labor organization with which this
newspaper maintains constant and pleasant
relations. Narsden G. Scott, president of the
international Typographical Union. has re-
fused to sanction a sympathetic strike in aid
OF the New York carmen. and has directed
that contracts with employers he observed to
the letter.
Discussing this matter a few days ago The
Times Dispatch said that Ito transform 4
solemn agreement into scrap OF paper would
not increase public liking or respect for
those so offending. Mr.. Scott and the execu-
tive committee OF the International Typo
graphical Union have the same feeling exactly
Collective bargaining is q right invaluable
to trades unionism, but it is worthless. clearly
if the agreements in which it results are not
binding on those who make them. He who
advises unionists to violate such contract
is striking at a principle without which, the
labor movement. in its present form, can ma Ike
no progress.
When organized labor gets ready TO follow
the chauvinists and wage guerilla warfare on
capital, the sort of morals that govern that
sort OF warfare may be justified. along with
sabotage and other principles of the |. W. w
Nowadays, however. unions make business
contracts with employers, to which honor and
ROOu ialln are plcdecu. II is TO the employ
er's advantage to enter into these agreements
because thereby he is freed from the danger
of strikes. whether original or sympathetic
while the agreements continue in force IT.
however, no such freedom is assured. no en-
ployer. not an utter imbt cile, will be induced
to sign
That the Typographical Union enjoys the
confidence and respect of the country is due
To its scrupulouS observance Of its compacts
no less than to the quality OF its membership
Evidently there other unions in New
York which arc swayed by the same Influences
and which cherish the same ideals. Sylnpa-
thy for fellow unionsts is both natural and
comncndablc and ought to be accompa MED
by gencrouc assistance. 1t ought not to be
exhibited in sympathetic strikes which vo-
late contracts and inilct loss and suffering
