LabOr's First Striving
for Place in the Sun
Was Mainly Political

Early manifestations of, the labor
feeling In the United States were no.
litlcal. In 1929 workingmen's ticket
was placed in nomination in New
York. This political movement spread
into Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
and contributed to the formation of
the Loco Foco party which PLAYED an
important part in the politics of that
period. Political organization fastened
organization for trade purposes and
In 1888 the General Trades union Of
the city Of New York elected its presi-
dent to congress. In 1882 the New
England Association of Farmers, Me-
chanics and Workingmen was organ
lied In Boston. The three most i'm
portant labor organizations which an
peared before the Civil war were or
ganized in 1915: The New England
Workingmen's association, the New
England Protective union and the In
dustrial Congress of the United
States. All three organizations waned
in the early sos, and from that time
until the end of the Civil war many
trades unions Of the narrower kind
were formed. During this period
many trade union leaders character
lied the trade union as exclusive and
warmly advocated the formation Of
broader organizations which would
elevate the masses by other means
than the strike and the regulation of
apprenticeship. In 1866 their efforts
resulted in the formation of the Ma
tional Labor union, which attempted
TO found a Labor Reform party and
died in 1870 "of the disease known ms
politics."
The work laid down by the National
Labor union fell into the hands of the
Knights Of Labor, formed In Decem.
Der, 1869, by leaders of dissolved
local union of garment cutters in
Philadelphia. Untn 1882 the name
and purpose Of the order were kent
secret. In 1886 it became involved IN
the Missouri Pacific strike. Its men,
bership then numbered 100000. There
after, split by internal dissensions.
and weakened by strikes, Its member
ship and influence declined. In 1914
1t had less than 100000 members. The
American Federation Of Labor orig.
mated In an attempt to found gen
eral organization of American work
lngmen distinct from the knights of
LABOR on trade union basis. A pre
urinary convention was called by the
knights of Industry and the Amalga-
mated Labor unlon-the latter com
posed largely of seceders from the
knights of Labor--and met In Terre
Haute, Ind, August 2, 1881. The first
oihcia! convention met at Pittsburgh
Pa, in November, 1881. The AmerI.

Labor Organization in
America Can Be Traced
to Movement in 1903

Organizations among American la
borers began in 1903, when the ship
carpenters and ealkers of New York
and Boston organized. The tailors
Of New York formed union the same
year, and 1903 also witnessed the first
Industrial strike in America, when the
New York sailors refused to work.
Before that, however, there had been
labor disturbances among the bakers
Of New York and the boot and shoe
makers of Philadelphia. 1t was dur
Ing the sailors strike of 1903, the
Massachusetts, shipbullders' strike of
1877, and the Albany printers strike
OF 1920, that the terms rat" and
"scab" were first used. From local
unions, the organization of labor pro-
ressed until in 1850 the first inter
Aational labor union, that of the print

ago. They were james aud George
Lovelace, Thomas Stanfeld, James
Bryne. The first three men were
Wesleyan preachers, who worked as
farm laborers on week days and
preached the gospel on Sundays.
Their Imprisonment was due to their
attempt to form a union of farm la
borers to protest against a proposed
reduction in wages-from seven shill-
ings to six shillings-less than $3.50
a week. The landlords were all-pow-
erful In Dorsetshire, and the "con-
spirators" were arrested, stripped.
shorn Of their hair and cast into jail
and eventually sentenced to seven
years Imprisonment.
The first demand of labor unions
for an eight-hour day was made at
a convention held in Baltimore, Au-
gust 81, 1886. This congress also
marked the first attempt to organize
national federation of the various
trade unions, national and interna-
tional, then existing in the United
States and Canada. One hundred del
egates were present, representing
ABOUT " organizations. The demand
for the eight-hour day was but an In

an international congress held at
Rochester in that year the movement
was revived under other names. Sew

the Federation of Organized Trades

To Each Man Has Been
Allotted Certain Work
to Be Required of Him

Columbus begged his way from
door to door in a strange land, lead
ing his little son forlornly by the
hand. Thomas A. Edison was the
prey of bill collectors who logged his
footsteps like hungry wolves.
There are countless other men
known and unknown to history who
suffered nameless prosecutions, even
suffering death itself because they
could not be dissuaded from doing the
work that they believed 1t was theirs
to do.
Work was their religion. 1t was the
ruling passion of their lives. "And,
after all, work Is the great adventure"
as Frank Lane said not long ago in
one of his public speeches.
Work should be every mans re-
ligion. God himself has said that it
Is the truest way to pray. 1t is only
the devil who loves to find our hands
idle.
Now, 1t is true also that It Is not
given to all men to make magic fid-
dies, to grasp beauteOus ceramics
from the oven or to discover new
worlds. But, 1t is also true that every
man can find work for his hands to
do. 1t may be very humble work. in
deed; 1t may be work that anyone can
do; but no matter what it is, we can
make 1t great. We can make 1t holy.
even. We can consecrate our work
by the soul that we put into it.
1t seems to us that Gods most gra-
cious dispensation to men is that he
continuously creates a sufficient num-
Der of them to do the common tasks
If we were all Of us bent on making
fiddles or ceramics, painting pictures
and weaving songs, there would be
no one left to hew the wood and
draw the water.
In other words, IL we were all tart
lists" who would cook the meals and
wash the dishes?
There is no dignity to equal the dig
nifty of labor. Remember that. And
remember, too, that there Is no labor
that lacks dignity, no matter how
simple or how common or how hum
BILE its tasks may be.
