As an employer of labor during the past thirty years I have disbursed more than 2,000,000 to wageworkers, and have always acted upon the principle that the best paid has to pay the same price per hour to the man who can only lay 2,000 bricks as he pays to the man who can lay 5,000 in a day Consequently the slow bricklayer has hard time to catch onto a job The waster painter who employs union tabor will pick his men.

It 1s nmot my purpose to discuss principles of trades unions, but the simply to reitorate my bellef in the right of wage- workers to associate together for mutual protection and mutual improvement. Nor 0 1 deem it nocessary (o relterate my belief that unionism helps all wagoworkers, that under existing conditions the only effective weapon by which the tyranny and greed of trusts and other combinations of capital can e successtully resisted is the strike. I be lieve that labor fs as essential to capital as capital is to labor. Capital is in reality | the unconsumed surplus of the product of labor crystalized Into money and convertible into labor. As necessity Is the mother of invention so the trades union is the natural offspring of invention and necessity. The problems which face the workingmen of America today are machinery, division of labor and trusts Machinery and Unlon Labor. The extensive introduction of machine therefore fast typos. rejects the slow and elects the Rewult of Nataral Selection. What is true of the painter, printer and bricklayer is equally true in mearly all of the mechanical trades. The result is that a very considerable number of the wem- bers of trades unlons who would be able to ffhd employment under a system of class ification, according to their capacity, are only occasionally employed or not employed at all because they are members of the unien. As unfon men they cannot work for less than the scale and they cannot get employment at the scale because they are ¢ not able to earn as much for ther employer as the quick, bright men in their trade. If they were not unfon men they could work at any price they chose to accept. (Cries of “that's s0.”) Hence this class of men drops out of the unions to join the ranks of the independent workmen who caunnot afford to remain in the union and see thelr families starve toward the latter part of (ke elghteenth This is a very serfous source of weakness century gave a gréat impulse to the trades union principle, and by 1820 most if not all to organized labor and wili grow worse un- less the unions drop the idea that all men desires of organized labor and that it 15| of he legislation against trades unions bad are created equal and should have equal mittee of the state society be composed of | men of the strictest integrity, who will| not be influenced by passion or political blas. | Commlittees were appointed as follows: | On Credentials—A.
