Too Many Orders; Too Much Advice
1t is the opinion of the writer that
the stage now arrived at through the
tutorship of the British government
and the establishment OF it's various
councils and committees is less salts
factory than the present status of the
employer and employed classes in this
country. Both sides here know where
they stand In Britain, what with
works committees. joint councils, in
dustrial conference committees and
the standing trade union agreements,
too many voices call too many orders
and proffer too much advice. The par
liamentary committees action rela-
tive to the whole scheme of admins
tration of the Whitley committees s
recommendations brings the entire
subject and policy back toward the
American trade union basis. The
committee, in a resolution, rendered
this decision:

not accept any form of joint negotia-

by limitations upon their right to
speak freely and to secure publicity
for their just grievances.
Thus, through the change in the
minds of men and through the
change in our economic and social
and political life, as well as through
the change in the character and
thought of labor itself. labor stepped
into the great war abreast of every
other factor in our national make
up, guiding force in the tide Of
events.
Labor in the War.
History records no other war in
which labor helped to mold and
execute policy. Beginning with the
Council of National Defense and
going through almost the whole
ramification of the nations immense
war machinery, the men and women
of labor sat in council and helped to
direct the work of winning the war.
Some critics of the American labor
movement have said that it has no
definite program, no formula that in
dicates just where it is going
know of no more emphatic answer
than to point to the road over which
we have come in ten years. l sug-
gest that it shows the direction in
which we are going; it shows, more
over, that we are going.
On June 10. carrying out the spirit
of the labor declaration of March 13,
an agreement was entered into be-
tween the Secretary of War, Newton
d. Baker, and myself as the repre-
sentative Of labor. Thissis the agree
ment:

agreement for the United States

AS for labor-American labor knows
full well that the millennium is not
yet with us. The millennium is but
day dream of castles in the air.
The castles are still far off. The
work Of the American labor move

to make this great republic Of ours

Labor in True Light.

With this emphatic pronouncement
of labor's devotion to the republic.
to the great democratic cause of the
world, and with other developments
that came quickly in those days on
the eve of war and in the days that
followed so rapidly when war became
a grim and real thing among us, en-
ployers everywhere came to see that
the American labor movement was
something more than had been pic
tured to them through the prejudiced
briefs of their hired lawyers. They
came to see it in something of its
true light. They came to understand
it as one of the great protecting bull
warks of democracy. More than that,
they came to see it as a great crea-
tor of democracy.
In the declaration of March ~,
from which l have just quoted. there
were many other paragraphs equally

of our beliefs, of our faith and of our
aims in that crucial hour. One para
