SCRAN'TON, NOVllMUCU L'fl, 1B02.
Says Rlshop Potter, very Duly: "Or
Kiinlzed hodles of lubor are making' a
mistake In trying to fotce men Into
their membership and In committing
acts of violence and I hope that they
will learn that their crusade Is only of
value when It Is can led on along great
moral lines." It will take more than
.hope to stop these mistakes.
The Inquiry to Continue.
Tim HALTING of compromise
proceedings In the strike In
iltihy Is not necessarily a
misfortune. If only ii com
piomlse was sought, th.it could have
been effected at any time dining the
past five months, on teims ceitalnly as
liberal as those now suggested. When
the strike commission was appointed,
the American people accepted it as a
guarantee that the whole matter would
be ventilated and all the facts eltell
id for their Information. Nothing less
than this will fulfil their jtibt expecta
tion. Anything les-s would he a reflec
tion, ih st, upon tho commission, whose
charter Is not limited by ex parte law-
jers' agreements, and, secondly, upon
the good faith of the piesldent of the
United States.
There can bo no unlahness to any
Interest in a full and open hearing. To
.say that It will take time and cost
money is tiue, but peimanent peace is
worth both. We hae had thiee years
of secrecy and Intilgue .ind.mlsehlet In
the coal business, with two main strikes
and a host of little ones, involving
eveiy conceivable phase of lawlessness,
persecution and intimidation, and en
tailing upon both individuals and the
.state Intense annoyance and veiy con
siderable bin dens of cost. These ate
not to be brushed away lightly, nor
solved by a veneer of compromise.
Their leeuiienei' can be prevented only
by a thorough pioblng and a settle
ment which will settle.

The Stitch In Time.
c
ONSIDERARLF: space has been
taken in the pnpeis of late in
lecltal of labor dllllculties at
Schenectady. That eit is
undeigoing about the same kind of
netful tut moil on tho pait of men
in labor elides, newly upheaved into
positions of power and lesponslblt
ity that Scranton has undergone. The
ferment Is on nnd must woik off.
Doubtless the labor movement in
Schenectady, as we expect of it In
Scranton, will then become sane, con
servative and regardful ot the fact that
there are otheis.
! It is lnteiesting to note the starting
point of tho labor exeeBses in Schenec
tady. As in Scranton, tho fltst fault
iluy with the employers. In Schenectady
the big employing concern is the Gen
rial Ulectilc company. It Is a llbri
rtlly managed institution as such insti
tutions go, but it has its shaie of sub
ordinate officials moie intent upon the
mathematics of economy in pi eduction
than upon the ethics of the wage ptob
lcm. What happened may best be told
In tho language of a Schenectady cor
lespondent of the New Yoik Sun, a
paper which will not be accused of pre
senting the employets" side in terms of
unjust criticism:
Tiado unionism never got a really s(1-
tire foothold In this elty until after tho
big btilko lat spring. That It Is so
stiongly eutiencheil now Is p.utlallv duo
to the course puisued by the Ui'-ucial

Two Interesting Predictions.
I
N 1S9 1 Herbert Spencer, the great
Ungtlsh philosopher, wiote to a
friend In Brooklyn his opinion
that tho world-wide movement
toward the dissolution of existing
social foims and a reorganization
of society on a socialistic basis was
"Ineslstlble" and ho added this cheer
ful picdlctlon: "Wo have bad times
before us nnd you have still more
dieadful times before you civil war,
Immense bloodshed, and eventually mil
itary despotism of the severest type."
Others have piedlcted similarly.
Lyman Abbott Is a scholar having
some points of computibon with Her
bert Spencer. He also offeis a pre
diction on the same subject. He, too,
looks upon reorganization of social
forms us irresistible, but expects It to
come to pass by evolutionary i.ithcr
than levolutoinury processes, and ho
sees this evolution at work today.
Listen to his view, as expi eased in The
Outlook:
la the pilmllivo state each Individual
himself conducts nil forms of industry
necessary for his comfoit. He kills the
game, skins It, makes of the skins moc
casins for his feet and a cloak for his
body, digs out the log to serve for a
ennoe, erects his wigwam, cultivates his
little patch of corn, makes and strings
his own bow and lashlons his own at
rows; Is, In short, butcher, tanner, hoo-
m.ikoi, tailor, boat-bulldcr, house caipen
tcr, fanner, ai motor, all In one. This is
Individualism, puie atn simple.
(Jindually ho lenins that In- Is moio
skillful In the chase than his neighbor,
and that his nclifhbor can mnkc a bet
ter bow and anovv than he. So one slns
at homo to eonstiuct, the other goes
foi th to hunt, and tho two exchange
their pmducts to mutual advantage. As
this exchange ol products glows more
extensive and complicated, u medium for
the exchange is lmented, and thus money
i iiraos into u and baiter becomes
trade. It is discovered that different
communities have different advantages In
soil and climate, or the taste and temper
of tlie people; so communities as well
is individuals begin to exchange, .ltd
trade becomes commerce. Steam Is tlls
coveied and maehlneiy invented. With
steam and machinery conies a necessity
for a laiger iiulustii.il organiatlon. Com
bination, of capital is now required. Cap
ital Is what a man muUes b- his in
iltistiy mmo than ho consumes In bis
suppoit or his j)leasiucs. When the in
dividual housewife spins tho wool 'and
weaves it In her loom into a homespun
gaimenl, u single man in a single life
time can easily accumulate, tho capital
uicessaiy for such housdiold industiv.
Hut when a. thousand spindles me i evolv
ing and a bundled looms aio clanking
under a single roof, one man cannot hi
a llletlme accumulate the capital for
such a nvmufacturlng Industry. Viulous
individuals must combine theh saving:?.
Thus the. coipoiatlon Is created. When
a slngli) housewife spins and weaves tho
wool, no industthl otganlzatlou Is neces
sary; she spins and weaves as sho
chooses and as other duties to her house
hold permit. Hut when the bundled em
pln.vos aio winking under a single roof
In the manufactuie of woolen Raiments
for n widely t xlcnded maiket, the for
mer individual llbeity Is no longer pos
sible. These live bundled woikeis must
woik togethei. Thus labor (OiganlsMtlon
Is cieaUd.
Organized labor Is as essential to iuul
em civilization ns organized capital. The
onlv question is, Shall laboi oiganiza
tloiis bo autocratic cu democtatle; shall
thev be organUed under capital and
wholly subject to Its will; or shall they
have something to say respecting the
foi m. uatuiQ and spirit of the oiganlza-
tlonV Shall they woik under the condi
tions wlili h capital pttscilbes, dining
tho bonis which capital chooses to pay,
or shall they havo a voice in determining
the tondltlons, tho wages, the houis?
Tills Is the hist and fundamental ques
tion involved In our Industilal problem.
The mliio, the factoiy, tho railroad, aio
prlvato enteipilscH, owned by tho capi
talists, who buy their labor as they buy
their machinery, nnd dlschaigo tho ono
ns they discard tho other when It censes
to be piolltnlilo: this Is one vluvv. Tho
mine, tho rallroul, the factoiy, aio a
Joint-stock onteipHse, to bo can led on
b.v capitalists and Uboteis as partneta
who shoio the control and the pi outs,
neither being Independent of the other,
each fulfilling an iipproprlato tuuctlon In
a haimouioiis organization, for mtitunl
piolit and luspiicd by a, splilt of mutual
i expect: this Is the other view. Which
of the two Is mnro In haimony with tho
principles of ilii'iiocnuV.' To ask this
question Is to urswer it. Whatever may
be said of tho Old Woild, In tho New,
whoie the plain people control tho gov
ernment of city, suite ami nation, vvheio
they dliect and ( dmlnlster tho public
educntlou, whent tliey aio Iho final au
thoitty In thilr celtnlastlciil Institutions,
It Is not possible tha they will peiman
ently consent to a system whhli allows
them no voice hi their IndiiHtilal oigan
l7titlnus. Tho eoiinttv which Is ilemo
cratlo In polltlci', educdtlon, and leliglou,
will not bo automatic Jn industry.
Tho nrguments agah.st tho organisa
tion of labor uto plausible but not sound;
they an derlvul from an obsoivallou
of Hiipuflcliil Incidents, not from a study
of fundamental piluclplcs. "Labor unions
nre hu sponsible uigiiiilzailon3 " AVo
doubt tho until of the statement; vvo
are Inclined to believe Unit In law a
labor union Is nothing bit a gieut pnit
neiship In which every member Is person,
ally responsible for all the pecunlaty oh
ligations of tho organization. Hut If it
Wtio otherwise tho lomedy would bo lu

The light ot a liihoier not to Join a
labor ntgiinbntlon Is absolute. The right
of the Individual to work untedntea and
Is the neicssnry foundation of the rigid
of laboieis to unlto In thel." work. It Is
lllio the light of tho capitalist not to

that organization of labor which tliey
Imntilm llml tlwiv ni n MUiimotlnEr. Hut.
more than that, they violate tho rights
of labor and give excuso for Its viola
tion by others. Theio hnvo been eases
In which capitalists' havo stood hfuvcly
for tho light of the Individual laborer
against tho attacks of labor unions
which, however unconsciously, were be
ttnjlng their own cause. All honor to
such defcndcis of ficedom. Rut too of
ten tho right of the lnborcr to employ
ment so valiantly defended by capitalis
tic organs means only the light of the
capitalist to pav lower wages, require
longer hours, and Impose worse condi
tions than would bo possible If labor
wcro organized.
Combination both of proptily and of
Industiy, of cnpltal and ot labor. Is In
evitable, because It Is tho dlvlno order
of human development. It would bo no
more possible to go back to tho Individu
alistic oiganb.iliou of the Ilrst part of
the nineteenth ccntuiy than to go back
to the feudalism that preceded It. To do
so we should luiie to forget the invention
or machinery, the dlseoveiy of steam,
the utlli.itlou of elcctiielty, division of
labor, the ml of co-opcratlon. The lem
edy for tho evils Incidental to the com
bination of capital Is not ptohlbllion of
comblratlon, but 11 wiser and moio ben
eficent combination; Iho remedy for tho
evils incidental to Iho oiganlzitlon of
labor is not its disorganization, but its
more efficient oignnlzatlon.
Theie- can be no question as to
which is the moie houeful and reassur
ing view Spencers or Abbott's. In the
main we Incline towntd the latter. Rut
if Lyman Abbott could have lived for
the p 1st tin eo years In thr nnthiaolte
coal fields, in daily touch nith the dis
till bed conditions so gr tphically de
picted in ceitaln now famous letleis

it would have taken 1 uge faith and al
most superhuman iatlence to uphold
confldenue in the pioposltion that the
violence, Intimidation and ncouiage

necessary pi ice of labor's evolution or

It is now guild ally admitted by those
qualified to testily that banishing the
