ley. Charles Stetzle Writes of the
Beginning.
From to 1S42 the unions
had been swayed by many kinds
of political and economic ideals.
"They had passed through a per
iod of hysteria which left them
comparatively weak and non-effective.
But at the end of this
period they had settled down to
the realities. They had been dis
illusioned as to the matter of so
cial revolution. They began a
campaign of education among tht
rank and file of their. membership.
Strikes were less frequent and
the. more sensational prosecution
of the leaders of labor was al
most abandoned. The leaders,
themselves, were better educated
in the principles of trades union
ism. A propagandist movement
was inaugurated and there were
many paid organizers, especially
among the miners in Great Brit
tain and Ireland. The leading
feature of the trades union move
ment during this peiod was a
strong resistance to legal oppres
sion. The earlier trades unions
consisted of completely separated
or loosely combined local clubs
each exercising a large measure of
individual freedom and control
ling its own funds and acting on
its own initiative and in its own
behalf. The Amalgamated So
ciety of Engineers, one of the
strongest unions in Great Britain,
made an advance beyond this
primitive form of organization. It
was not only built upon national
lines, but authority was vested in
the central governing body which
alone had the power to ca"
strikes. Its financial system was
also thoroughly worked out
through a series of benefit funds-
providing for protection against
old age, death, sickness and acci
dents. It was not long before the
other great trades unions were or
ganized upon the same, basis un
til todav there exists in the trades
unions in England, a powerful
social and benevolent spirit.
A historic incident in the de
velopment of trades unionism is
what is known as the Taff-Vale
decision. In August. 1900, the
Amalgamated Society of Rail
wav Servants ens-aged in a strike
asainst the Taff-Vale Railway Co.
This strike did not differ from
many other strikes, but the gen
eral manager of th Taff-Vale
company determined to fight it
out in the courts. The trades
union was charged with persuad
ing and intimidating workmen to
break their contracts with the
railway and aiding a"d abetting
acts of violence which together
injured the railway company. The
amount of damages asked were
$11,550. The corporation won its
suit but the Court of Appeal
unanimously reversed the decis
ion of Justice Farwell. The com
pany then appealed to the house
of lords and the latte : held that
the members of the association,
individually and collectively, were
liable. The decision created, con
sternation in labor circles where
it had been commonly- held that
trade unions could not be sued.
It was this decision of the house j
of lords which led the British
trades unionists into independent
political action in the Parliament
ary elections ot 1906.
What's the Use?
fust got through searching
some fiftv- or sixtv labor ex
changes. The3T are all good, all
interesting in a sense, and all edi
ted hy men who are working hard
to accomplish something worth
while. But all we find in them is
notes of strikes, lock outs, mis
ery, victories, defeats, boosts for
the label that fall on deaf ears
usually, and all that sort of thing.
Anvthino- constructive? Verv
little. Merely organization with
a view to getting higher wages
and therefore more of the fruits
of labor's toil. What matters it
how high wages sro. if the cost of
living keeps pace? Why net seek
other and better remedies than
mere wage increases? How many
labor editors ever studies the
"single tax" question? What
eood does it do to temporarily
change effects if no change is
made in the causes? What's the
use of it all, anyhow? Victimiz
ed on the one side by land mo
nopoly, and thus shut off-from the
land, and on the other side by
monopolv of opportunities, the
wage earner is offered a remedy
in the shape of higMer wages,
which, no sooner given than are
wrested from him by increased
cost of living. And trades unions
doing their dutv bv sticking to
musty old policies that alleviate
temoorarilv. but remedv nothing?
How about compelling every
tardes urimist to sro to night
school f- term of months, on
pain of being- deprived of hi
union card because of ignorance
and unwillingness to learn?
coin and of Blaine. The sugar
democracv of White is no better
than the steel-republicanism oi
Lonmer. The shin subsidv-re-
publican ism of Lorimer is no
worse than the tobacco-democracy
of AVhite. A precious lot of
fools the majority of American
voters, for being so long deceived
by the kind of clap-trap that
passes for political wisdom. The
onlv difference between the two
great political parties today is in
the spelling of the names.
