Merchants and Labor Unions.

How's business, Mr.. Merchant? What's
wrong with trade? Why is it that storehouses
are filled with food, elevators with grain, the
banks with money and there are more than
100000 workers in the United States idle,
and many Of them actually hungry?
Aren't those mighty pertinent questions to
ask youY Many of you have been induced to
join with the cheap labor employers to reduce
the wages Of the workers. Those of you who
did not join were threatened and you were
forced in against your will. But what is this
wage-cutting campaign doing to you and your
business? 1t is needless for us to tell you, for
you know. You are doing lot OF worrying,
while the big fellows are sitting tight with
plenty of reserve in their Golfers to tide them
over their made-to- order panic.
Once you were hard-working, plain-lving
Individuals your necessities governed by your
business and your stock of goods by the de-
mand of your trade. Then wage-earners were
earning small wages for an extremely long
workday their demands governed by small
pay envelope; their amusement practically
limited to conversation, except to attend
funeral marriage, or church, wearing their
tri-yearly Sunday best.
The demands of the wage workers, who con-
stituted the great majority OF consumers, linn
tied the turn over and profits to the merchant,
hence the status of the mercahnt was little If
any better than the wage worker. Long hours
and small income was the rule.
With the rise of the labor unions came bet-
ter wages and shorter work day. This was
followed by an early closing movement by the
merchants Higher wages created bigger
demand for necessities and so-ca]led luxuries.
The profits were greater and the variety Of
stock greatly extended. By rapid disposal Of
his own stock he now has quantity, quality and
variety; and above all, some leisure to enjoy
life. The labor unions have raised the stand
ard of living Of all layers Of society, the mer-
chant being no exception to the rule.
Whta, then does strong labor movement
mean to the merchant? Just this: It means
that the wage worker has enough to spend for
the necessaries and some luxuries in life; $25
suit instead of a $40 one; a So hat instead of
50-cent one; better furniture at home with
other comforts; good seats at theaters, with a
little saved against future debt accumulation.
A poorly paid non-unon worker is brother to
a pauper, that is, he is a poor customer at best
-even if he can remain honest and pay his
debts. The non union worker would be still
worse off if it were not that the labor unions
were the means Of his getting more money
when union scales increase-the union
worker can get little more money, can creep
little closer to the union scale-getting some
thing which he did not help to acquire.
It is seldom you see union worker begging;
he is too proud, too self-respecting to do so.
The union worker lives from 10 to so per cent
better than the non-union worker. The union
worker is the merchants one best FRIEND

The "Independent" Workman.

1t is quite the fad nowadays for "open
shoppers'' to refer to the non-union and unor-
ganized wage earners as 'independent york
men, as if their non membership in
labor union preserved for them that indepen-
dence Of which every American is proud to be
possessed.
But it does not do any such thing. It is true
they are free to work for as little wages as may
be handed to them and for as long hours as may
be forced upon them. It is also true if they
do not like the wages and hours fixed for them
by the employers they are free to quit singly or
in numbers, that is unless they reside in the
state of Kansas where so much of their freedom
has lately been taken away from both the or
ganized and unorganized workers.
The independence Of the non union work
man stops at the door Of the shop and is re-
stored to him only when he leaves his employ
ment. Then he is free to tramp, starve or per-
ish. His independence within the shop is
gained only when he is given a voice with his
fellow workmen in determining with the en-
ployer the wages he is to receive. the hours Of
labor he is to work and the rules under which
he is to be governed.
The independent workers on the job are the
union men when they work under trade
agreement. Workers employed without such
an agreement and under implied individual
contracts are as servle while they are working
as were the slaves Of other days. In the lar
ger non-union concerns the servility Of the
workers even extends outside the works, to
their social activities and family'life.
Trade unionism is the spirit Of Americanism
carried into industry. The independence Of
the individual in the factory or workshop is
protected by the liberty of the group. The
autocrat of industry is more absolute in his
realm than was his predecessor, the autocrat
Of government. Trade unionism is the avowed
foe of autocracy in every form. It would in
troduce and sustain democracy in industry in
order to give to and hold for the workers that
freedom and independence which mean all and
everything to them for the achievement of the
material things of life.

Tragedy Of Labor Day, 1921.
By FRANK MORRISON.

Secretary American Federation of Labor
Labor day, 1921, sees the most gigantic and
widespread lockout Of wage earners in the his
tory Of this country. Approximately 100000
men and women, anxious to labor, are without
employment and at least 100000 persons,
or about one-fifth Of our population, are di-
rectly affected by tragedy that we hope may
not be intensified the coming winter.
The failure of large element Of our citizen.
ship to awaken to this grim situation is in con-
trast to their attitude whenever considerable
group of wage earners voluntarily suspend
work to enforce better living conditions. Then
stern demand is made that "industry func-
tion.'' All other questions are subordinated
to that of breaking the strike, regardless Of
method or cost. t
The causes for present conditions are asso-
ciated with every great war, and are as newt
able as the laws Of mathematics Wage earn
ers must accept this fact and reject the propa-
ganda of those who profit by war and whose
excuses for present conditions take every con-
ceivable form.
Back Of the world war were imperialistic
and monarchial forces that are disappointed
with the outcome, but their principles still ex-
list among a comparatively small but powerful
group in every land, including our own. To
make this group powerless should be the pur-
pose OF every patriot.
I have no illusions on the end of war, but
wars can be mininized if there were no profit
in these upheavals that pauperize the many
and enrich the few.
There is no moral reason why the govern
ment should conscript it's soldiers and not ap-
ply this theory to dollars and machinery If
the soldier is I'M jured he is given dole. If he
is killed, his dependents are given a small pen:
son.
The dollar, however, is assured full return,
pledge. Machinery and all the processes Of
production are used with the guarantee that
the owners will be given a return equal to their
highest profits and their plants returned in as
good condition as when commandeered.
Agitation to end war or even minimize war
will be fruitless while we conscript soldiers and
permit profiteers to set their own price on the
governments s need in it's hour of Distress It
should be a national characteristic that the
men who stay at home shall make no more
profit than do the men who risk their lives on
the battle front. If we conscript the flower Of
our youth to fill our armies, nothing should be
considered too sacred to support these armies.
Another after effect Of war is the control
Of credit by private financiers. The American
Federation of Labor has declared that credit is
Inherently social,'' and that it should be
government function, operated for the benefit
Of the people. AS now administered it permits
financial agencies to levy toll upon the people
las high as the traffic will bear"
With profit taken out of war, with dollars
and machinery conscripted, and with the credit
Of the people taken from private financiers and
administered by the government, future wars
should be less attractive to those who increase
their power at the cost of their country
The labor world., 1921-09-03
There Are No "Open Shops. "

There are no "open shops'' except in the
propaganda Of the profiteers; but there are
two kinds Of "closed" shops, in which both
union and non-union men are employed. "Col-
lective" bargaining prevails in one of them
and "individual" bargaining in the other
"Individual' bargaining means that the owner
or employer will name the rate of pay and con-
ditions of work, and if this does not suit the
employe he has no redress.
In the ''closed shop" where "collective''
bargaining obtains, as is the case in the legiti-
mate organizations representing the crafts en-
ployed therein, the employe becomes a party
to the working agreement under which ALL
union or non-union, must work. This shop is
"closed' to individual bargaining sure
enough.
Every man, woman or child who has ever
'hired OUT practiced Individual bargaining,
perhaps unknowingy, as there was but one
party to the bargain-"the boss''
In collective bargaining *Fclosed" shop the
as those who made the agreement reality, but
if that can be construed to their disadvantage,
then throwing life-preserver to a. drowning
man would he similar wrong
A concrete example Of the working Of this
principle is seen in the decision of the United
States Railroad Labor Board in dismissing the
application of the Pullman company for au-
thorlty to reduce the wages OF it's employees.
The company claimed to have called meet
ing OF it's ten thousand employees for the pur-
pose Of voting upon the acceptance or reiec~
ton of wage cut. OF the six thousand who
attended 2,246 voted to accept and 1920 to re-
ject, some 1,700 not voting. Then the company
served notice on all it's employees that the cut
would be effective July list. ~
The board however, interpreted the trans
portation act to mean that conference should
have been held with the "duly elected repre-
sentatives'' Of the employees, and so ruled. To
comply with the law, the Pullman company
will have to deal with these representatives.
who, they may be assured, will be the repre-
sentatives Of the unions having jurisdiction.
The first thing that should be done if the
disarmament conference is to have popular ac-
claim is to disarm the suspicion that it is not
