British Like To

with mice which were responsible

forts to rid the cathedral Of the
plague had proved failures until
someone suggested that the presence
of mouse of gold as a permanent

frightening the live ones away. The
legend says that the remedy was
successful.

and exhaustive study of all the opera
tions and have evolved a plan where
by production can be increased and a
few more drops of sweat wrung from
the tired bodies of the workers.
The workers are not consulted, but
when everything is ready, they are
told of the new system under which
they are expected to work
While everything was going along
smoothly, these workers were deaf to
appeals to organize, but now things
look different. Organization appeals
to them now, just as shelter does to
one caught in storm
They flock into the union and won
der why the union is not larger and
more powerful than it is, little real
izing that it is their own lack of
support that has prevented the union
from measuring up to their expecta-
tions.
A good many workers seem to labor
under the impression that a union
is some kind of an emergency insti-
tuition kept in existence for the con-
venience of those who get caught in
an industrial storm now and then.
To them it is sort of raincoat, to
be worn only when the weather is
wet. AS soon as the storm blows
over, they hang it away in closet
and forget about it, until the next
storm blows up.
Eventually these workers must
learn that "raincoat" unionism and
the "raincoat" union man never get
anywhere. They must learn that a
union, to be a real success, must be
made up of members who stay in
and do not drop out
Unions are not perfect and mis-
takes are made. There are times in
every union when it seems as if it
was a waste of time to stay in them.
Members get discouraged and drop
out because of the lack of progress,
and in dropping out they make pro-

THE ''RAINCOAT" UNION MAN

What a wonderful movement the
labor movement would be, if all the
thousands-yes, millions-who have
Joined and dropped out, had remained
true to their colors!
This does not include those who
have died or dropped their union cards
because they have retired from act
i've life or entered some vocation that
is outside of union jurisdiction. 1t
refers to those who are still active
in their trades or calling and still
eligible to membership in their union.
1t is impossible to estimate with
any degree of accuracy, the number
of those who have joined the various
unions, paid dues for a few months
or year or two, and then dropped
out.
The records of the national and in
ternational unions in the United
States would reveal some startling
hS uiSSS IL a4ly Si4AlS 4lhS al accurate
estimate ever should be made.
To many workers, organization is
just passing fancy. They seem to
think that there is no need for or
ganization, as long as they can make
fairly good living without suffering
any undue hardship.
1t never occurs to them that condi-
tions are never so good but that they
could be made better. They do not
seem to realize that every day brings
forth some invention or some idea
that vitally affects their working and
living conditions, and that if they
want to have a voice in shaping the
trend of events and creating condi-
tions that are better that they must
have an effective organization to
work with.
A large corporation, employing sew
eral thousand workers, has carefully
laid plans to introdure some new eff
cheney system that will speed up pro-
duction. A staff of "clockers" and
efficiency experts have made a long

gress still slower.

gress still slower.
Many of the mistakes made in
unions are due to lack of discipline
and it often happens that lack of
discipline can be traced to lack of
members, for lack of members means
lack of strength to enforce disci-
pline.
Workers are often heard to remark
that they would join union if that
union would abolish certain objection
able conditions and force the workers
to abide by certain rules and regula-
tions. They do not seem to realize
that, by staying out, they are doing
their proportionate share in defeating
the very thing they want to see done.
Joining a union and then failing
to stay in it is the surest way to put
drag on the movement.
The task of meeting changing con-
ditions in industry and adapting those
changes to the advantage of the work
ers, requires knowledge of tactics
and generalship. 1t requires organiza-
ton that is permanent and members
that can be depended upon.
/ Workers cannot expect to join a
union today and know all the reasons
why things are being done tomorrow
New members must be trained and
drilled, and that takes time. 1t takes
time, money and energy to train and
educate new members, and when mem
bers drop out, after getting a certain
amount of training, they represent
] distinct loss to their union in time,
money and energy spent by those who
have remained true to their colors.
Unions are here to stay, in one
| form or another. Even if some form
of workers government, run by
workers, for workers, was to come into
being tomorrow, we would need or
ganization of labor, so that the work
ers could have a voice in that gov
ernment
The sooner the workers, who desire
better conditions, make up their minds
to organize and stay organized, just
that much sooner will they realize
their dreams.
Those who are prone to get discour-
aged and drop out should remember
that by dropping out they are helping
to make the very things worse that
they complain of Instead of applying
a remedy, they are rubbing salt into
the wound
The more powerful union becomes,
the fewer the mistakes it makes.
The stronger a union is, the better it
can enforce its rules.
In the final analysis, most all union
mistakes can be traced back to weak
ness, brought about through actions
of too many, who have been of the
''raincoat" variety of union men.
Unions with new members coming
in the front door and other going
out the back door never made rapid
progress.
Don't be "raincoat" union man,
but get in and stay in. Then you
will see real progress; progress that
will surprise you, for then every new
member will be distinct gain, and
the goal of power and discipline will
soon be reached, 1.-The Auto Worker.
