victories and suffered defeats in the
struggle for industrial justice and in
dustrial democracy. AS a matter of
fact, there are industrial unions as
well as trade unions in the American
Federation of Labor. The experience
of both types is available for study
and comparison. If the trade unions
have not seen fit to scrap their organ
izations and swallow the one-big-
union idea, it is safe to say there are
better reasons for this "conserva-
tism" than the dilettante outsiders
dream of or reckon with in their fan
tastic philosophy. The labor
movement has not stood still; it has
marched and evolved; it will continue
to march, but it will not change its
policies or its methods at the super
fetal demand of handful of self
styled intellectuals.
A second grievance of at least some
Of the intellectuals is that the leaders
of the American labor movement are,
for the most part, suspicious of and
adverse to what is called ''independ-
ent political action" Why does not
American labor form a distinct pollt-
ical party, modelled upon the British
labor party? The British labor party
is always painted in bright, alluring
colors as the most advanced and enc
hghtened body in the world Why,
then, not initiate it? Why not profit
by its experience? Again, the slow
advance made in this country by the
advocates Of distinct labor party is
attributed by the inteilectuals to the
standpatsm, obtuseness and ignor-
ance of the majority of the leaders of
organized labor.
This theory is as shallow and alb
surd as that which has been comment
ed on above in connection with the
! one-big-union dogma The over
whelming majority Of American union
lists are opposed to separate and IN
dependent political action. They are
citizens as well as trade unionists.
They severally belong to certain par
ties and have no wish to secede from
them The labor movement mas spe-
cific purposes and they join it to pro-
mote these purposes. There are re-
publicans, democrats, socialists, sin
gle-taxers, indivdualists in the labor
movement. Means are suggested by
ends. Some ends require political
action, and some require economic
or other modes Of action. Americans
can not think in terms evolved by
British or French or Italian condi-
tions They think, and rightly so,
in terms that have grown out of their
own vital experiences. A labor party
in America would speedily resolve it
self into a party Of a few theoretical
reformers and no laborers. 1t would
bring ridicule and contempt upon the
labor movement from those who are
seeking to destroy and discredit it.
"Ah," argue some of the intellect
uals, 'the majority of union men and
women are opposed to separate polit-
ical action! What of it? 1t is the
business of leaders to lead-to blaze
the trail, to strike out along new
paths, to show courage and foresight.
The majority will gladly respond, at
least after a while to inspiring and
bold leadership"
The trouble with many of our phi
losophers of the closet is that they
have a sneaking admiration for benev-
olent despotism, for relationships,
for oligarchies. This is why some of
