sense of common interest that is
causing the workers of all countries
to unite across national boundaries
Professor Seager concludes: as this
growing sense of solidarity to be
eclipsed by the increasing realization
fostered by company unions that en-
ployers and employees have common
interests as we'll as conflicting inter
ests? Nothing is further from nv
own expectation. What / think rather
is that the sense of common interests
which holds wage-earners together in
trade unions will be in part trans
ferred from the industrial to the DO
litical field. The principal circum-
stance that may render the trade
union less indispensable is not any
overnight conversion of employers.
but the taking over of the regula-
tion of working conditions in public
service industries by the government.
In the constitution of adjustment
boards, in the formulation of legal
standards as to working conditions,
IN the progressive development of
social insurance and other protect
i've labor legislation, wage-earners
have an ever increasing motive for
concerning themselves with politics. ;"

| better agency for promoting economy
and efficiency and continuity of oper-
alton, the argument seems all on the
! side of the trade union from the view
point of the employees chief interests
favorable wages, hours, working
conditions, and participation in de-
termining these conditions. The
company union is obviously not
equipped to contend effectively for
better conditions with a reluctant en-
ployer. In the first place, all the
members, including even the officials
OF the organization, are employees of
the employer to be influenced and de-
pendent upon his good will for a live
lihood. Second, because of their local
character they are debarred from ac-
quiring knowledge of conditions in
other establishments where perhaps
wages, hours and working arrange
ments are more favorable and thus
are unable to exert the pressure which
possession of this knowledge would
make possible. In the third place.
again because of their local character,
they can offer no effective resistance
to adverse changes initiated by the
employer, since without outside sup
port they can do little more than pro-
test against what they consider un-
fair"
The important question of which
form of organization will have the
greater constructive value for the
workers Professor Seager answers as
follows: "The choice between the
company union and the trade union
as regards this vital question as to
which will develop the better worker
and citizen thus depends on the type
of employer who as time goes on is
to manage our public service indus
tries. So long as the proft-seeking
exploiter type predominates, our pre-
ference must be unqualifedly for the
ilSHIlHS ITaOe union. AS the c0-Opera-
tive employer who honestly regards
himself as the senior partner in in
dussry and his employees as his junior
partners becomes predominant there
will be less need for the fighting
trade union and larger field of use
fulness for the company union, as
step toward true partnership in in
dustry"
Of the indications for the future
regarding this problem Professor
Seager says: "The hope of the fu-
ture is that the employer actuated
by good will and desiring to make the
employment relation a real co-part-
nership in industry will become the
predominant type, and that under his
leadership practicable plans will be |
devised for combining national unions
dealing with the problems of general
concern to all wage-earners in the in
dustry with company unions or shop
committees for the settlement of local
problems" Concerning the growing

COMPANY UNIONS vs.. TRADE UNIONS

Under this title Professor Henry
K. Seager, of Columbia University
discusses in the American Economic
Review for March, 1923, the relative
merits of the company union VS.. the
trade union in public service indus
tries, especially railroads, from the
point of view of the public, the en-
ployers and the employees. He points
out the growing trend of government
policy toward Strengthening the ma
chlnery for insuring continuous oper-
alton of public service industries.
This MEANS" says Professor Seager.
the maintenance of an authoritative
board or court to determine labor con-
dltlons on the railroads and of similar
state boards or courts to determine
conditions on street railways and
other local public service industries
1t means the formulation in statutes
OF the conditions that are to be re-
quIred in connection with public serv-
ice industries. Finally it means pro-
hibition with enforceable penalties
((not imprisonment but fines which
pursue the offender until paid as in
New Zealand) of strikes or other con-
certed efforts to interrupt the serv-
ice." Insofar as this trend makes the
strike futile weapon, it will weaken
the hold of the trade union and in
crease the possible scope for the
company union.
Discussing the legal prohibition of
strikes and punishment for Interrupt
tions of service, Professor Seager ex-
plains his position as follows: 81 do
not advocate this last step, logical
and necessary as | believe it to be,
because | feel strongly that any stat
ute which deprives the employees of
public service industries of their right
to strike, must in fairness establish
definite minimum standards for their
protection. Among these should be,
IN my opinion, the eight-hour day
with extra compensation for over
time, reasonable living wage, en-
ployment on monthly or even an
nual, instead of merely daily, basis
and the right to belong to labor organ
izations of their own choosing. Econ
omists can, | think, render a more
valuable service by urging the need
of such standards than in joining the
current hue and cry against strikes"
Professor Seager finds that the
company union tends to create sense
of community of interest between the
employer and the employees in his
service. Therefore the employers
favor the company union on the
ground that it promotes continuity of
operation, economy and efficiency and
makes the employees more amenable
to changes initiated by the employers.
Looking at the matter from the point
of view of the employees Professor
Seager says: while the evidence
thus favors the company union as the

Causes of Tidal Movenen+s

At different times in the history of
the world great many theories have
been entertained as to the cause of
the tidal movements. Aristotle and
Heraclitus thought that the tides were
caused by the sun, which, whirling the
winds about, caused the water to rise
and fall. Later the explanation was
advanced that the motion was the nat
ural one Of respiration-the breathing
Of the sea. The Arabs of medieval
times thought that possibly the moon
heated the water and thus caused 1t
to swell and to recede again as 1t

custom of hanging out an ivy bush at

Many references to this custom are
found in the old poets and dramatists

Not Really Work of Hnmer

The Homeric hymns are poems SUP
posed by the ancients to have been
written by Homer, but considered by
modern critics to have been the work
of others. OF those now extant, the
five best known are hymns to the Del
ian Apollo, to the Pythian Apollo, to
Aphrodite, to Hermes, and to Deme-
ter. The Homerlc hymns are vastly
inferior to the Iliad and Odyssey, and
probably contain fragments by writer's
of every century, from the time of
Homer to that OF the Persian war.
