Unionism Not la Groove.
Denying tha assertion that trades union
ism works In a narrow groove, and that
union workers are mere cogs in a big ma
chine, President Gompers enters Into the
dlsousslon at great length, as follows:
The narrowness of trade unionism.'
This phrase paasea current, at full face
value, in every camp and even In every
grouplet of Intellectuals.' In going the
whole round of the Isms,' sociological,
ethical, legal, political, reformatory, played-
out popular erase, or 'just-out' social pan
aceas, one will hear expressed by the leaders
a sentiment that the trade unionists are
hide-bound conservatives because they de
cline to rush In a body to take the magic
medicine for social Ills offered by tbe
particular 'ism' advocated by ths orltio in
each particular case.
It la a fact that trade unionism In
America moVes on in Its own set and de
liberate way. In so doing, It has outlived
wave upon wave of hastily conceived so-
called 'broad' movements that were to re
construct society In a single season. And
It hsa sufficiently good cause for con
tlnulng Ita own reaaoned-out course.
"A full defense of trade unionism against
the charge of narrowness would require
many volumes, were eaoh to be separately
devoted to counter-statements and argu
mentation addressed to every critic ad
vocating his own special tarn' aa against
trade unionism. But there la one brood
bottomed fact underlying all the criticisms
of trade unionism based on Its alleged nar
rowness. That fact Is that trade unionism
Is not narrow.
"The locomotive engine Is not 'nsrroW
because It Is not fitted to run on high
ways and byways and waterways as It Is
for railways, nor Is tha steamship "nar
row because It can not bo made to run
on land. But steam, the motive power,
can be so applied that It la effective on
both land and water. An engine Is adapted
to a special use; steam In Its applications
is universal.
"Similarly, a trade union In not a ma
chine fitted to the work of directly affect
ing all the civic, social and political
changes necessary In society. But It first
of all teaches the working classes the
power of combination. Thenceforward it
disciplines them, leads them to perform
tasks that are possible, and permits tha
members of any of Its affiliated bodies to
attempt any form of social experiment
which does not Imperil the organisation
as a whole. The spirit of combination has
the Immediate effects of self-confidence
for the democratic elements In the unions.
of growth In the loyalty of working-man,
of constant progressive achievement not
confined to restricted limits. It is there
fore a motive power continuously and
variously applicable as the masses move
forward and upward In their Individual
and collective development.
Spirit of Caloalaas.
"The spirit of combination In the wage-
workers hss aa a motive power many points
of resemblance to that of steam (or for
that matter electricity) In the mechanical
world. One of these points Is that th
machine to be moved must not be too big
or too complex for tha er.glne. Theorist
social reformers beyond enumeration have
In vain offered their Utopian Inventions to
the masses because the latter, endowed
with common sense, have, on due obssrva
tlon, refused to supply the needed waste
ful power to make the inventions go. If
they had done ao for a time, they could
but have exhibited the folly of going to
greater pains and troublea than the pres
ent social machinery requires. The his
tory of the United States Is plentifully
illustrated with millenlal experiments.
Illusory for the reason that their main
tenance In some way overtaxed their sup
porters, accustomed to making progress
In the freedom and opportunity of Amertoa
even aa It la
"No other mechanism for carrying out
the will of the wage-worker In the domain
In which they can especially benefit them
selves has equaled the trade union and the
trade union movement Is bringing desired
results. No ether naa equally stood tha
test of time. No other baa thrown any
thing like the light upon the atate of
mind of the masses with respect to their
economlo education. No other has been
able to show how Intensely practical the
worklngmen are nor how devoted they can
show themselves to a dearly defined prin
ciple, nor how ready they are to trust to
their own leadership, nor bow thsy Invari
ably refuse, as a class, to embark In f lo
tion-born Utopian ventures. The trade
union haa been broad enough for ail prac
tical purposes."
Talks of Contempt Case.
Considerable apace in the report Is de
voted to the Gompers. Mitchell, et all con
tempt ease. Mr. Gompers say a In part:
"It is not necessary to burden thla re
port with a repetition of the history of ths
case. That history may be found in the
reports which the executive council and I
had the honor to submit to tha Toronto
convention, printed proceedings of which
have been provided here tor eaoh delegate.
"In compliance with instructions, our
counsel took an appeal to the supreme
court of lbs United Statea In ths Buok's
Btovs and Range company's suit for In
junction, and they also presented a petition,
suported by brief, for the Issuance of a
writ ' of certiorari In the contempt pro
ceedings under which 'Gompers, Mltoliell
and Morrison' were held as guilty of con
tempt of court for an alleged violation of
the Injunction and sentenced te Imprison
ment The petition was presented to the
court November 3, 1909. The petition and
brief are so lucid and Interesting that 1 1
commend them to your consideration and
to that of all others interested la this
phase of the law. I deemed them of suf
ficient importance to publish them In the
issue of the American Federatlonlst of Jan
uary, 1P10. The United States Supreme
oourt took the petition under advisement
and a week later, that Is, on December S,
granted the petition. It should be stated
that tbe counsel opposed to us also ap
pealed against the modified Injunction of
the court of appeals, and that after the
granting of the writ of certiorari the
United Statea Supreme court directed the
two branchea of the case to be considered
and discussed at the aame time.
In consequence of two vacancies In the
United Statea supreme court and tha gen
eral recognition of the prime Importance
of the principles Involved In these cases
was deemed advisable by our counsel
that an effort should be made to have
the cases argued before and decided by a
full bench. Wr this view the United
States supreme court agreed at the Octo
ber, 1910, term and deferred the argument
until January It. 1911.
Origin of Dlapnte.
The origin of these cases waa In the
dispute between organized labor and the
Buck'a Stove and Range company, which,
under ita old management and policy,
sought the Injunction and obtained the de
cree in the contempt proceedings. It Is
gratifying to report officially that the
industrial dispute between organised labor
and the Buck's Stove and Range company
was. In July last adjusted upon mutually
honorable terms. The decease of the presi
dent of the company, Mr. Van Cleave, gave
the opportunity for the new manager of
ths oompany to carry out his lifelong policy
of friendliness toward and eo-operatlou
with organised labor. ,
And now ths opportunity la afforded to
disclose . tha correctness of ths position
which ws took In the -contempt proceed
ings; that la to aay, the American Federa
tion of Labor's representatives made
earnest efforts to come to an honorable
understanding and adjustmsnt of tha mat
ters In dispute between the Buck's Stove
and Range company and organised labor
before the company's products were placed
cn the "we Don't patronise" Hat The
negotiations were conducted than, as they
were later, by Vice President Valentine,
who, being president of the International
Molders' union, was authorised to make,
and did make, efforts to bring about an
adjustment At that time we were not
warranted in making public the names of
the men either directly or Indirectly asso
ciated with the company through whom
suoh efforts were made. Slnoa labor's
agreement of last July with the company
we feel justified In stating that the efforts
were made through Messrs. Hogah and
Crtbben, ths then executive officers of
the National Stove Founders' Defense
association, of which the Buck's Stove and
Range company waa a member, and Mr.
F. W. Gardner, the present chairman of
tha board of directors of the company.
Thla fact disproves the position taken by
Justice Wright when he declared that no
auch effort had been made by us."
The report of President. Gompers was
highly commended by delegates and of
ficers, and ooples of it are preserved very
generally by reason of the fact that the
document abounds In Important informa

Touching the growth of membership.
Secretary Morrison says:
"A resume of the progress made numer
ically and financially by the American
Federation of Labor during the last four
teen years cannot but encourage the trade,
unionists in their effort to educate, organ
ise and federate the wage workers. The
growth of tha American Federation of
Labor was phenomensl from 1898 to 1W,
when It lnoreaeed from X71.S15 to l.rt.KW
It was to be expected In tbe order of
normal growth that the membership would
decrease aomewhat from the highest point
It reached during the time the intense
organisation wave held sway.
'The average membership paid upon each
year to the American Federation of Labor
Is not the total membership of the affiliated
organisation. The Federation requires In
ternatlonal organisations to pay H cent
per month for every member for whom
they receive per capita tax from their local
unions. Tha local unions, In many in
stances, fall to pay their International or
ganisations upon their full membership.
A great number of the International unions,
during the periods of strikes or lockouts.
do not receive per capita 'tax from their
local unions for members who are on
strike; hence. In turn, the federation doet
not receive per capita tax on such mem
hers."
