THE SEATTLE STAR EDITORIAL AND MAGAZINE PAGE: JOHN MITCHELL SAYS IN LABOR DAY - ADDRESS TO WORKINGMEN: “What Is Most Needed Tod :-— BY JOHN MITCHELL. ~ Former President of the United Mine Workers of America, Vice “s President American Federation of Labor and Vice President and Member of Executive Committees National Civic Federation. ABOR DAY te alwaye an importaet event, esp: the wage earners; but this year labor's holiday is pe significant ovenuse it marks the dawn of an fedustrial revive: and invites 4 dicussion ot the cause and effect of the industrial stagnation from which we are now emerging Perhaps the most important lesson and the most practical demonstration of the usefulness and the poteney of the trade union movement has bean given in these dark days ef adver aity. Indeed, in industrial affairs, as in all other avenues of human activity, the lessons learned in adversity are the truest and surest lessons of all, It tw in times of stress and trial that we reason best from cause to effect, and the chastening influence of the hardwhips endured in times of Industrial de Dreasion Makes us strong dvaner to meet the obstacles that are to come. : It ts pertectly safe to say that every facter in our complex social Hfe suffered from the efreet of the panic, but the men and the institations that suffered most were thowe that made least provision in days of preaperity to meet their exigencies fm days of adversity. While the organised workmen felt keenly the effect of the depreamon, their suffering waa not so great or so general as waa that endured by the unskfHed and = unorgam faed workmen; because the organtzed workers had built op a fund in normal times upon which they could draw to tide them over their most pressing necessities in days of adversity An also from substantial reductions in his wage scale The old theory that wages are regulated by an law ot supply and demand has been disputed for many y but it required a great industrial depression to disprove and din sipate the autiquated preposition that wages are governed by & ervel and immutable law of supple and demand While no doubt wages are influenced by industrial conditions, it In never- JOHN MITCHELL. theless true that wages are controiied In a large measure Wy the workmen themsetves. Generally speaking, the organtzed laborers have maintained the scale of wages prevailing prior to the pantie, but the unorganized workmen have suffered reductions in thetr wage scale. And while some empioyers have sought to destroy the labor unions, It tv a satisfaction to know that they have not succeeded in doting so. As @ mattor of fact, (he records of the trad® organ- izations show that the untons, on the whole, are numerteally stronger now than they were two years and with the return of “good times,” there promises to be an expansion and growth in trade union membership unprecedented in the tndustrial history of our country The experience of the past two years has emphasized the fact that the best way to minimize the evils of a financial or Industrial depression is to maintain at the highest possible point the purchasing and consuming power of the people.
