EDITORIAL
EVOLUTION or AMERICAN
LIVING WAGE STANDARDS


One 0f the revolutionary enemies Of
the American trade union movement.
at the dawn Of the present century,
described It sneeringly as g mere
rear guard Of labor's retreat into
cooiiedom."
Near the end Of the nineteenth CEN
tury, when prices and wages had long
been headed downward there seemed
to be basis for such . sneer. The
dire prophecies Of evolutionary So
cialism that wage earners were
doomed forever to meager standards
Of life under the so-caIIed iron law Of
wages were butressed by wealth Of
facts.
The first quarter OF the twentieth
century has belied their predictions
and smashed their so-called economic
philosophy. Today it is the proud
boast Of great captains Of industry
and the triumphant shout Of econo-
mists that modern capitalism Is en-
riching the worker, IS much As the
proprietor, multiplying instead Of d.
minishine the so-ealled middle classes
and converting the one time proletar-
ian into capitalist, participating
IN the enterprise which he serves.
What share the American labor
movement has had in this great
change Is beyond the scope Of this
article. Il Is sufficient to point out
that the growth and increasing power
Of labor organizations is acknowledge
ed on all sides to have been one OF
the outstanding features Of this pro-
eressive epoch.
The still significant contrasts be-
tween the status Of workers in most
unoroanized trades and those in in
dustries in which the labor movement
has functioned most efficiently cannot
be ignored.
With this background Of twenty
five years Of advancing living stand
ards and this chorus Of praise for the
new industrialism, it is strange, al
most shocking. to find that great bod
les Of employees in the most import
ant American industry have not
caught the spirit Of the meJohn +.

hibits to this county,

mert, and the Seattle Art Glib, IN
