gaining does not make for willing asso-
ciates in industry. 1t develops autoc-
racy at one end of production and de-
pendents at the other end.
AS our country becomes more and
more an industrial nation this problem
becomes more acute. It affects every
citizen because there is no prospect of
individual harmony while captains of
industry maintain their anti-union at
titude that employees shall be denied
the right to present grievances col
lectively.
No citizen can escape the influence of
this vicious system that often controls
government, degrades the judiciary and
denies constitutional rights to wage
workers who would resist the serf prac-
tices of employers
There is no constructive program
more important than this demand of
labor to control their lives. This demand
is the first essential in any policy that
would bring industrial concord and So
cial peace.

Secretary American Federation of Labor.

On Labor Day, 1928, the organized
workers are more conscious of their
cause than ever before.
There can be no substitute for trade
unionism because it grows out of the
needs and experiences and necessities
of the workers. It is not an artificial
creation, nor has it been evolved from
the brain of man.
It is. a natural grouping of wage
workers, who are cemented by the same
ideals and longings, the same opposi-
tion to social injustice and the same de-
sire to improve their status in life.
Those who would destroy us fail to of
fer a substitute for trade unionism.
They promise much, but would deny
that unity of action that has been the
workers protection and hope.
In every instance the anti-unionist
insists that he treat with workers as

the Grays Harbor record for cargoes
