One Effect of
President 8 Position

The effect of the Presidents ac.
tlon on the labor situation was in.
stantly seen in the strike of machin-
lists In Connecticut. The men in
the first instance offered to abide by
the War Labor Boards decision.
The day after President Wilson's
request to Congress the employers
agreed to the proposal.
There would seem to be nothing 70
prevent this from continuing in.
definitely in one industry after an.
other. Some of the oldest and most
powerful of labor's antagonists will
doubtless resist vigorously. Whether
there are any effective weapons left
to the employer, in the face of the
War Labor Boards position, re.
mains to be seen.
Organized labor still has much 10
do. Though it boasts of 2,750,Oe
members in good standing in the A.
+. of L. alone, there were, accord
ing TO the census of 1910. more than
3S,OOO,OO0 persons in the country
gainfully employed. About 10000
600 of these might be considered ca
pable of unionization under the A. T.
of l.. agis. The mining industry
for instance. is but 800 per cent
unionized, the iron and steel IN
dustry only SO per cent, the cloth'
ing industry cnly 1863 per cen'
(1910 fgures).
The era initiated last MondS
provides labor with its ideal oppo'
tunity to take up the slack in tnes
industries, all absolutely essential v
the winning of the war. ProIess0.
Leo Wolman, of the University q
Michigan, says that in the ps'
Concentration Of ownership, Coz"
bined with a hostility to labor u
ganizations, has constituted in mo-
cases All insurmountable barrier
the labor organizer"
This barrier has now, by execuu',
action, been swept away. A na1' =.
closed shop begins to appear "
horizon.
