Concluded from Page 1.
thousand laborers should not satisfy that
demand, but It should work slowly say at
uvo-tlilrds their natural speed, mi that
the fifty thousand may have a chance to
share the demand. Tlio claim of the
union Is that tlio limitation of output has
:i generous motive tlio motive of permit,
ling those that would otherwise be unem
ployed to share the llxed demand.
I need not point out that tlio theory of
11 fixed dcmnml is in tlio highest degree
improbable; at any rate, it cannot ba
computed or demonstrated, il is an as
sumption that It Is Impossible to prove.
Jut, on the other hand, it Is obvious that
the effect on tlio individual laborer of
habitually working at 11 rate below Ills
natural capacity must be thorotigly per
nicious. AVh.at alert, ambitious man but
desires to make his daily output as largo
as possible, no matter what his calling?
What must be thu effect on the individual
laborer of endeavoring, day after day
and year after year, to do less than ho
might do in the appointed hours of labor?
Must it not lio degrading? Must It not
gradually undermine ills own capacity
! for, production? Will ho not become, year
by (year, a feeble, and less useful man?
Tlio proper ambition for tlio laborer In
any calling is to produce as much as pos
sible, or a quality .as high as possible;
nml no other purposo will foster the de
velopment of tho best workmen or the
best men.
I object, therefore, utterly, to tho lim
ited output for tho individual, because
it tights against the best instincts of the
best laborers. It also, of course, dimin
ishes tho productiveness of tlio entire
community, and tends to mako the whole
community Indifferent and ineffective.
13ut, you may say. It Is not tho labor
IMS only that endeavor to limit tho out
put. Very true; the employers nro equal
sinners In this respect. They, too, under
take to limit tho output, for no reason
except to keep up prices. Wo have, un
fortunately been taught In this country
that a high level of prices Is always 1111
advantage. Sometimes it Is and some
times It is not. I suppose that there never
was u falser economic doctrine preached
than that low prices make cheap men.
Cheap necessaries of life nro Invariably
nn advantage to tho population. Now,
the limiting of output by tlio employers,
of course, diminishes tho total wealth of
the people, and has nif Justification what
ever. Cruelty of the Uniform Wage.
A third doetrlno of labor .unions which
pi-ems to me to light ngulnst tho true de
veloping prlm-rulns in human nature Is
tho doctrine of tho uniform wage. This
uniform wage works In two ways: In the
Hint place, it provenlH the capable laborer
from eurnlng as much as he might, which
Is not only a misfortune to him but n
misfortune to society; and rccoudly, it is
cruel to tho Inferior workman. The labor
union establishes a uniform wage lit as
high a level ns It can. and In every trade
thero will bo many workmen who really
nro Incapable ot earning iliat wage; that
Is. they cannot satisfy the employer in
the unionized shop. lie Iluds that be Is
paying some of hisnii'ii a wugo that they
can earn, and others a wage that they
cannot earn. How does liu protect him
self? Ho gets rid, whenever ho can, of
tho laborer that cannot earn tha wago
named by tho union, and In thu spasmodic
condition of American Industries he has
many opportunities of getting rid of tlio
Inferior workman. Tho consequenco is
that the Inferior worHmnn cannot earn
In a year any adequate wage, since he Is
often unemployed. This Is one of tho
greatest cruelties of labor unions, The
Inferior workman, if permitted to work
at lower wages, might bo steadily em
ployed. They cannot bo steadily em
ployed when a. wage must bo paid to
them which they cannot earn.
Thero Is. of course, another aspect of
tlm uniform wage. In times of pressure,
which occur frequently in all American
Industries, mnuy men are taken on uf tho
union wngo who cannot earn it, and tlm
vmployor suffers very serious loss In tho
process, This, however. Is a totally dif
ferent aspect of tho samo false method.
The uniform wage, In short, works badly
In all directions. It Is a discouragement
to tho cupablo workman. It Is .1 cruelty
townid less capable, and from llmo to
time It Indicts great Injury on tho em
ployer. Dangerous Doctrine of Violence,
l coma now to 11 fourth objection to
tho labor union, Its teaching In regard to
the usu of violence during a strike. This
Is n doetrlno which Is uot always
nvowed; in fact, 0110 of tho most serious
objections to tlio publlo utterances of la
bor lenders Is that they endeavor to con
ical tho violence which Is actually in
serted to. They oven deny in guarded Ian.

imi-uiiy mmting n loo unn-
JIL'lll, I
Nov, what Is tho theory on which, in
labor unions, violence Is Justllicd? I heard
the theory Ingeniously staled at tho re
cent mooting of the Economic Club ot
Boston. The laborer, who has worked in
a factory or shop for years, or even
months only, has acquired an equitable
right in that factory which Is not ills
charged by the weekly payment of his
wages. Jle has made a. part of tlio
rcpulfitlon of that factory and the repu
tation of Us ptuducl. lie has created a
part of the good will of that factory. This
claim Is substantial, nnd It Is not dls
cliniiied by paying litm weekly wages.
Ho Joliw his follows hi declaring that for
a tlmo they d" not propose to continue
to work In that factory oil tho conditions
which prevail at the moment. Ho then
sees a man taklnp, I1I1 place. Now. that
man Is potscfilug himself of that equit
able claim on the factory of tho light in
equity which thu former laborer has ac
quired and which he ought not to lose by
going mi n M."ike. Tlio Incoming man is
11 llilef nnd a robber, nnd ho can be
dealt with as one deals with a. burglar
in one's house. The scab, or strike
broaker, is a burglar, and if over vio
lence is justified between man and man,
vlolenco Is justifiable between the union
man who has gone on a strike and the
scab who takes his place.
Tho argument Is plausible, but has 11
fatal weak spot. Jt claims a right In tlio
factory or business which depends on
continuous operation, and also claims the
right to discontinue the. business or shut
up tho factory.
This doctrine T believe to bo it, danger
ous one, and one that combats nil Ameri
can principles with regard to freedom In
labor. I Ibid that the principles that an
American lias a right to sell his labor at
whatever prico ho chooses to lix is earn
estly disputed, indeed, it Is paid that no
American has a light to sell his labor at
any price, without considering tho effect
of his salo on associated laborers in the
sumo trade or business. Tho right to
earn bread for his family by whatever
opportunity presents itself Is denied. He
must not earn bread for his family with
out ponslderinir tho effects which his
taking the price he is wiling to accept
may have on thousands of other men
who are not willing to nccepu that price.
This doctrine cuts deep, find the American
people liavo got to consider nnd reconsid
er this contest of opinions. It Is a seri
ous contest of opinions with regard to
personal liberty.
Boycott Is Cowardly Interference.
The sort ot violence which tho labor
unions justify is various, and thero has
been a great development in the variety
of violence within the last ten years. Thu
inevitable violence now takes tho form,
first, of a few serious outrages on per
sons and on property. It docs not tnko
many outrages to alarm a considerable
population. Three or four assaults, three
or four killings, a few blown-up bouses,
will terrorize a largo community. Hut
tlteso operations need not be numerous.
,thcy need not be frequent. Tho moro ef-
ll'Cllvu lllcuilHl, Wliuu i:uijiLMiit?ii Willi iui;r.u
assault and outrages. Is thu method oC
the boycott. I liavo not time to describe
tlm varieiles of tho boycott. Sut'llco It to
say that the boycott, in a connunnlly
where union men are in power, pene
trates every nook and coiner of society.
Kvery shop, overy nlllce, every profes
sional man's employment Is ai-'sallable,
and Is assailed. Hut it does not stop
there In 11 community where tho union
has a largo majority. Tlio police, tho
courts and tho newspapers can all be con
trolled, They liavo been repeatedly, and
they tiro today, In some localities, Wo
liavo to look forward to tho absolute do
feat both of tlio grand jury and of tho
Jury In communities! where tho unions
are In power. You seo how much ground
that covers the police, the courts nnd
the newspapers. Tho community at largo
Is thus deprived of Information and tho
community 011 tho spot Is depilved of the
ordinary protection of tlio courts und the
ofllcers oC the courts,
Ono step remains to bo taken in com
munities where the labor unions nru In
command, namely, tho control of tho
mlllt In. Wo shall probably seo during the
next few years strenuous elforts, direct
and Indirect, on tlm part of tho imloiif
to control the mllltlu. Them nro two
wavs of contrnllliur it: tlio mellinil mlnnt.
ed In tho case of tho grand Jury will
serve llll tho local militia with union
men, but legislation may also bo resorted
to; and, thirdly, the boycott will bo ef
fective to this end unless tho American
public lennis how to disarm tho boycott.
Tho formldahlenesn of the boycott, ex
cept 111 n region wnero 1110 union niim ure
In 11 clear nunorlty. Is a. singular phenom
enon In American society, Tho total
number of lnborors organized In unions
of the United States cannot possibly bo
placed higher than I'.OOO.oOo, Colonel
Wright, head of tho labor bureau, says
that ho cannot place It higher than 1,700,
OuO. It Is. therefore coneelvablo that the
moro numerous non-union men, or the
American public at large, should learn
lmw to control or defeat tho boycott. It
needs to bo defeated. It Is 11 cruel, cow
ardly Interference with (ho tights of all
the people.
A lesson from the Conl Strike,
1 dislike very 'Inch to dwell upon evils
In society without alluding to tho posslblR
cures for those evils, Discussion of ovlls
seems tit 1110 seldom expedient, unless It
leuds to tho discussion of remedies. Now,
thero are certain hopeful proguobtlcatlous

tiro community, and OBpcolally on both
comhatnnts, wo xhouhi arrive nt a solu
tion which might just ns well liavo boon
urrlvert at heforo tho strife bosun? This
In a iloinoiiHtrution, I thiiil:, of a gross
laclc of IntulllKcnco In both parties to tlio
strife, 1 ilon' l know how 0110 could have
a stronger demonstration, such irrational
conduct 011 both sides should teach thu
nubile thut this sort of industrial strlfo
is stupid, and therefore to bo avoided by
moro Intelligent policies nnd efforts. It
teaches that It Is bettfer to confer nt the
start rather than to tight first and confer
after the battle.
Methods of Avoiding Strikes.
Aro there not already In existence or
ganized methods ot avoiding thi'so de
structive contests? 1 believe there are
already In existence several good exam
ples of pro-arranged agreements to arbi
trate. 1 liavo sdoii two or three of these
within tho last few weeks one especially,
which Deemed to mo highly promising,
liecuiiMu for fourteen years It hud pro
.vented strikes In tho American newspaper
unices concerned, This agreement Is one
inado In advance by both parties to possi
ble conillcts; It describes cleurly under
what conditions arbitration -shall bo re
sorted to; first conellatlnn shall ho tried,
by which Is meant conference between
tho two connicllng parties without the
intervention of anyoiio elso; next, local
arbitration shall bo nfed: and. third, nr-'
Miration directed by national or Inter
national alliance of unions In the trtnlo
concerned. Tho conditions under which
tha arbitrator aro chosen aro agreed
upon beforehand. Tho things which shall
not bp arbitrated nru expressly excluded,
and tho things which shall bo arbitrated
nro dcllued.
It is Interesting to nolo that this ugrce
mont between thu publishers of Aineilcan
newspapers nnd tlio unions with which
they Jmvu to ileal, for they deal with sov
oral unions. Is an agreement between nn
Incorporated association and unions that
nru not Incorporated, and yet this agree
ment has, been kupt for fourteen years
and has been successful In preventing
strikes. Tho Incorporation of unions Is,
of course, very desirable, becauso arbi
tration between one body which is In
corporated and nnother body which Is not
incorporated Is not perfectly f Jr. A pen
alty can be tliforoed uiiiUnst ofio. and not
iib'ulnsl tho other, Hut ull tho labor
unions and all tho labor lenders, ns fur ns
I know, aro opposed to Incorporation,
Thoy dread tho action of tho courts,
They liavo had many uunrrels with the
courts, and have often been defeated in
them, and they have a natural dread of
litigation. These well-kept agreements
between Incorporated bodies 011 tho ono
band and unincorporated labor unions on
tho other nro all the moro Interesting bo
cause they may prove to bo the means of
gradually bringing about the incorpora
tion of unions when, by experience under
theso present tigrecmouts, the, unions
learn to trust to a contract. AVheu that
trust has once been created, the unions
may censo to fear a contract enforced by
tho ordinary legal methods.
Useful Co-operation Possible,
Lastly, I think thero nru many signs In
Important manufactures that labor unions
can, by good judgment and good feeling,
miiko themselves u convenience to cor
porations engaged in industrial work, 1
Imvo lately had conversations with some
largo employer: of labor- who perceive
tho convenience in largo industries of bo.
lug able to procure tho assured delivery
at a llxed price of any required liumboi
of laborers on a contract covering a year
or live years. It is Interesting to porcclvo
that in a democracy tho urgencies of
great business seem to tend ulroady to
methndn which have been dovoloped lit
tho course of centuries In old China,
whero such a thine us democracy has
never been known. Tho (Jhlncso method
Is tho delivery of nny required number
of la)oi'ors h. 11 iMi'iiimnv for it iw.
prico. In some respects thero is a curious
leseinblanco bvtwi'on.uui common Uuiiuxi
method and the method toward which tho
labor union tends. Tlio union laborer uf
the future, once Involved by tho thoti
Miml, may bo hardly freer than tho Chi
nese laborer, who Is delivered to order
by tho thousand at an agreed price. All
tho moro important Is It that joining the
union should be completely voluntary,
I, of course, bollevo that wo Ainerlcuns
nro likely to find our way through thoio
difficulties. Tho first thing we need is to
learn exactly what tho difficulties are,
and hero It must bo confessed that thero
uro obstacles. Hath nartlcs to Industrial
strlfo generally distrust publicity. That
was curiously exemplified in the coal
strike. The strike began without thu
American people being Informed by cither ,
party of tho reasons for fighting, To bo
sure, they were subsequently published,
but nftor tho strlko was on, It Is a gen
eral fact that corporations wish to con
ceal their methods of doing business, and
that labor unions also wish to conceal
their reasons for demanding more pay or
less work. Therefore, tho moans of pro
curing publicity In regard to such ninttcrx
ought to bo diligently sougnt by the
American people ns a wholo. AVo liavo
many meana of publicity. The local news
paper will not servo us, Tho great metro
politan newspaper might, tho magazines
might, tho legislative commissions might.
Thoy do not always, but thoy might. It
la for the American people to seek thor
ough Information on all these Industrial
struggles, mid to spread abroad among
tlio peoplo sound notions concerning their
causes and their results, Then, I think,
wo may all hope that wo shall Unit a way
through these formidable social dangers.
