Responsibility on Company.

IT was this refusal TO deal collective
ly with the employees that places the
responsibility for the strike upon the
company. 1t is probably true that the
members Of the union would have out
numbered the non-union employees. 1t
is probably true that all of the en-
ployes, union and non-union, would
have listened to the advice of the lead
ers OF the Amaigamated Association
and would have been largely controlled
by such advice. 1t is also true that the
company would have listened to the ad-
vice OF its attorneys. and would have
largely been controlled by such advice
If the employees had possessed the su-
perio~ power, would they have had the
moral right to refuse to negotiate with
the corporation because they believed
that the corporation would be con-
trolled by the advice of its attorneys
or by the advice of any particular of
ficer? Are men of a certain class or are
a group Of men similarly situated to
be denied the privilege of acting in CO.
operation because they may seek ad-
vice and assistance from outside of
their own class or group? If the EN-
ployes have a moral right to act col
lectively in their negotiations with the
employer. then they have the right to
seek and utilize the advice. knowledge
and experience Of attorneys, associa-
tions. individuals or unions
I'm fixing the responsibility. be it re-
membered that the fight of the EN-
ployes for the recognition of the union
and for the closed shop was not in
volved in the final struggle. The sole
question was whether the company
would deal with its employees collec-
lively. and this it refused to do for the
reasons before stated
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-10-06
Moral Obligations Discussed.

The company was not obligated to
recognize the Amalgamated ASsccia-
ton or any other union. 1t WAS no
more morally compelled to recognize
the Amalgamated Assoc. alton than it
was to recognize some particular
church. religion. creed or cult. II had
no right to compel its men. OF any OF
its men. or even one of its men. to be-
long to the Amalgamated Association,
or any church. or any club. or asSocia-
ton. or cult, and Yet to have recognized
and dealt with such association, church,
club or cult would in effect have COM
PEELED each and every empioye to have
become a member of such association.
church. club or cult: and the converse
of this principle is equally true and i'm
mutable. 1t is the right of every EN-
ploye to be a member of or TO affiliate
with any association, church, club or
cult. and no employer has right to
punish or discriminate against such
employe by reason of such individual
and independent action or even ques-
ton his conduct in such particular.
THE employees. while attempting to
negotiate directly with the company.
did demand and insist upon the recoe-
milton of the Amaiga mated Association
The company positively declined such
recognition. and, in this. it was within
It's moral rights. After this failure, the
Commissioners of the District proposed
to the company that il deal with its
employees collectively, without relation
to the Amalgamated Association and
without recognition of the union, and
this proposal was as emphatically de-
clined- In this. in my opinion, the COM
pany was in error.

Put Blame on King.

Senators Jones and Johnson SAY:
The strike of 1917. in our opinion
was caused by the unyielding attitude
Of Mr.. King. While some of the de-
mands first sumbitted by the union can
not be justified. the men and the union
throughout the negotiations showed
conciliatory spirit and 4 desire to
settle OF compromise the differences
between them and the company. They
sought the intervention Of the District
Commissioners, of the Secretary of
Labor and Of the conciliators of the
Department of Labor: they offered to
submit to the mediation of the Com
as had been done in 1916, and finally
they We're willing to waive recognition
or theif union or any question what
Soever of closed shop. Mr. King was
obdur2te. He apparently had deter
mined to deal with the situation as he
saw mt and to impose upon his en-
ploycs an individual contract and bar
gain with them in that fashion alone.
IT was this attitude upon the part of
Mr.. King which. in our opinion caused
the strike or lockout of 1917 and which
brought in its train the consequences.
with which the people of Washington
are familiar. The cause of the strike
was Mr. Clarence ?. King, primarily, as
the president and representative of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany
IF any power existed whereby we
could require or compel the company
to take back its employees we would
exercise it. II an appeal from us
could accomplish that result we would
ana 40 make such an appeal to the
company. We earnestly hope that as
vacancies occur in the present force
they may be filled ~ the old employees
so Tar as they may be available

Defends Individual Contract,

The company contends that the in
dividual contract submitted to it's en-
ployes was reasonable and fair. That
question was not considered or dis
cussed by the employees. They had no
opportunity to consider or discuss the
individual contract. because the COM
pany refused to meet them collectively
to discuss the Individual contract or
any other contract. The company was
willing that one of it's employees, who
had never had the advantage of educa
ton or experience and who probably
knew little of the meaning of words. to
say nothing of technical construction
should discuss with it the individual
contract. A great number of these en-
ployes. for the purpose of obtaining
work. executed the individual contract
Is there any indication that any of
these men discussed the Individual con-
tract? 1t was not changed in a single
particular The impossiblility of the
individual negotiating a contract of EN-
ploymcnt with a powerful corporation
is too absurd for intelligent men to
discuss before an intelligent body. The
very object of the individual contract
In fact, the chief object, is to avoid
discussion and consideration. Influence.

activity Of life has been accomplished
through collective action. The corpora

Sharp Contrast Is Presented.

regard OF the publc's convenience.
The report then says:
Here presented in sharp contrast are
the two economic theories, that Of Mr.
King, with his inf1exible purpose never to
recognize the union, insisting upon the
one-sided individual contract. and the
modern theory adopted by the Capital
Traction Company OF dealing fairly with
its men collectively

new as to strikes and their deplorable
consequences They are usually the re-
