There were no doubt some arguments against the
bonds, but the time for the opposition to have pre-
scented them in the campaign before the election
and not afterwards These objections were no doubt
forcibly presented, but they not sufficient to
outweigh the argument in favor OF the proposition

If not bound by election. why hold cleo
lions at all? Why not refer matters involving the
public welfare policies OF government to few
men to settle for the rest of us? The will OF the
people expressed at the polls In the manner pro-
vided by law should govern and no man or set Of
men should be permitted to thwart it. To permit
them to do so is undemocratic and American.

long will substantial results appear.
There Is no danger that the Ameri-
can people will lapse from the condi-
ton Of mind which, In this respect,
is to be noted today. The laboring
element being predominant In this
country, this element is privileged,
whenever 1t so desires, to form or
ganizations for the promotion OF con-
ditions and for mutual bargaining.
What we call labor unions or brother
hoods have prospered. They rightly
take TO themselves q share Of credit
for obtaining higher wages, shorter
hours and more healthful SURROUND
ings. The gains thus made have not
been limited to the principals, but
through necessity have been shared
with the ereat mass Of laboring people.
This suggests something which. per-
haps, we are inclined TO forget. La
Dor day represents American labor.
not just organized labor. 1t typifies
the millions Of men AID women who.
whatever their calling, are helping TO

Labor Organization in

Organizations among American la

carpenters and calkers 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 shipbuilders' strike of
1917, and the Albany printers strike
of 1920. that the terms rat" and

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

reduction in wages-fr0m seven shill-

Instances of broadly conceived expert

But aside from the vital and far
reaching question of organization or

not without presumption to be pre-
dicted, the outstanding fact of the
hour Is the worlds growing recognl-

Is implied by the significant word Re-

cause the United States must play so
important a part, American labor must
assume immense responsibilities.

1t is predicted by more than one
of recent commentators that grades
of productive work will never again
be so widely separated as they have
been in the past. The war doubt
less has done much to prove the es-
sential dignity of all labor-of all real
work. And one of the often astOnish-
ing features of the labor situation Is
the influence now proved to have been
exerted by women in industry. That
influence may frequently have been
eXaggerated-so sensational a depar-
ture was bound to result in eXaggera-
tive predictions-bu the fact remains
that labor justice no longer has sex
dividing line as it once had. Woman
is no longer solely the figure that
waits at home for the fruits of man

Columbus begged his way from
