N a modern little brick struc
ture under the shadow of
the monster pension build
ing at Washington is locat
ed the nerve center of the
organized lavor movement
the United States and Un
cle Sam's new possessions, writes
Waldon Fawcett. In these quar
ters, which are none too com
modious for the strenuous activi
ties carried on therein, an executive
staff of upward of three dozen men
and women keeps in close touch with
an army of 2,000,000 artisians in
every state and territory in the union.
This beehive is the national head
quarters of the American Federation
of Labor, that great central body that
exercises jurisdiction over the local
workingmen's organizations from one
end of the country to the other.
To appreciate the significance of the
work carried on at ' this place it is
necessary to know something of the
American Federation of Labor and its
remarkable growth. The first move
toward the voluntary organization of
labor In America was made early in
the nineteenth century but it gained
almost no headway until a score of
years later. The earliest known trade
union composed of journeymen was
the New York Society of Journeymen
Shipwrights, which was legally in
corporated in 1803. Unions of tailors
and carpenters were organized in the
metropolis in 1806 and a union of hat
ters came into existence in 1819.
The first crusade on the part of or
ganized labor was for a ten-hour work
day. In the spring of 1840 President
Van Buren issued a proclamation es
tablishing the ten-hour day on all gov
ernment work, but it was several years
later ere anything approaching a com
plete victory was won in the private
establishments of the country. The
year 1851 saw another important ad
vance in the labor movement, namely
the formation of the first national
union by the banding together of vari
ous local organizations. The printers
were the pioneers in this progressive
step and were shortly followed by the
iron molders. For some years these
two classes of artisans were alone in
their advanced position but with the
civil war and its significant proclama
tion abolishing slavery a spur was
given to the cause of organized labor
and in 1864 the National Cigarmakers'
union was formed. The Bricklayers
and Masons' International union came
into existence soon after and before
many months had elapsed several oth
er classes of toilers had taken the de
cisive step of formulating national
bodies.
The great panic of 1873 gave some
thing of a setback to organized labor
for the reason that with the shutting
down of manufactories and the suspen
sion of work generally many toilers
were unable to pay their dues and in
some instances local unions were com
pelled to disband for lack of funds.
With the advent of somewhat better
times organized labor gradually took
a new lease of life and there was nur
tured that spirit of expansion which
led up to the organization of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor in the year
1881.
In discussing the matter the other
day President Samuel Gompers, head
of the American Federation of Labor,
and the most powerful labor leader
in the world, pointed out that the de
velopment of trades unionism in this
country may be classified, broadly
speaking, in three successive periods.
The first of these intervals saw the
rise of the local unions of various
kinds; the second period was charac
terized by the inception of the idea
of the national union; and finally the
third era in which we are now living
has witnessed the amalgamation of
these national unions into the all-powerful
federated body. By this amalga
mation and centralization of power the
American working classes have put
themselves in a position to hold their
own with those immense aggregations
of capital the "trusts" of the indus
trial and commercial world.

SAYS TOIL IS DEMOCRATIC.
Minister Declares Labor Is the Evolu
tion of Happiness.
Rev. Frank C. Bruner, pastor of the
Oakwoods Union church, Chicago,
preached recently on "The Democracy
of Culture," taking for his text: "Man
goeth forth unto his labor and to his
work until the evening." Psalms, civ.
23. He said in part: "The idea held
that labor is a curse to the race is a
misnomer. In it is an evolution of big
happiness. Its advent was not or
dained in man's transgression. God
made it in affinity with heroic hu
manity. The being of indolence is
a fraud to society; the man who does
not work breaks the commandment of
God and the tired-born who never
draw an industrious breath are, in
common language,' thieves.
"They rob the world of toilhood,
take unearned bread to live on. We
talk about the laboring class; there is
no such thing in the economy of God.
No man, if he be as rich as Croesus,
Rockefeller or Sage, but what is toil
worn as the man who works on the
railroad section, carries the hod of
brick or the woman that wearily works
in the washtub world. So many look
on labor as the product of sin and the
chief disgrace of mankind. The
democracy of labor is the superlative
end of man. Such an example as the
Carpenter of Nazareth proves the
honor of labor and its adaptability for
the benefit of mankind."
