Chicago Federation of Labor to Make
Record of Labor Cases.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
decided at a regular meeting to keep
Labor Troubles Infrequent Where
Written Agreements Exist.
The strike of the unorganized labor
In the Pressed Steel Car plant, at Mc
Kees Rocks, Pa., has been settled
through concessions made by the em
nlrivors Concessions made because of
' pressure of public opinion when the
facts were learned, and yet among the
mottoes of the Employers' and Manu
facturers' association is this: No sac
rifice of the independent worklngmen
to the labor union. No, they should
stand alone to be plucked as the evi
dence shows they were in this open
plant.
There are many good people who
seem to believe that if there were no
labor organizations there would be no
strikes. The history of labor , strug
gles for decent treatment for the past
100 years in America, as well as the
Pressed Steel Car strike, shows how
absurd such notions are.
The fact is, that the most lasting
peace is where the laboring men are
best organized and working under
written agreements for the sale ot
their services, and those agreements
which have been longest in force In
sure best relations between employer
and employe, and best conditions in
every sense. Locomotive Engineers'
