Labor’s belief in the “melt

‘for the solution of 'the railroad prob-
lem, was declared by Mr. Stone to be
profound. In this plan. he said. the
workérs raised the banner of democ-
‘racy in control of industry, and ad-
vanced "to a new crus e with the
faith of the Pilgrims?“
"At the request of these organiza-

be. ."I suppose as the voice of
these two million men, delegated by
them to'announce to this committee
and to the people of this country that

purpose that can move so large a body
of citizens.
’Joinedgvlth us and represented by
Mr. Morrison. is (be American Feder-
ation of Labor adding three million
and a half men to that body of rail-
way employee. ’who instituted this
movement. ,
In the industrial development of
this country. great organisations of
capital first appeared as employers.
Individual workers. following the ex-
ample set by capital. organized seem-
ployes. Their purpose was to secure
better working conditions and a urg-
er measure of return for their labors.
The full force of capitalistic organise;
tlons‘has been set against labor to
hol dand to keep all the profits of in-
dnatry. The strength of the labor un-
ion has been exerted to wrest from
capital some share of the profits for
the wage earners.
"There has been a perpetual strug-
gle by the workers to maintain a toi-
erable standard of existence: on the
part of capital. to amass greater pro-
dts. At times both sides could ignore
the needs of the public. But now the
very growth of the labor organisa-
tions has brought into their nabs a
great mass of the consumers. The
large number of the wage earners now
constitute a large percentage of the
people. The extension of industry
has changed the nature of the previ‘
ous struggle. ,
"For whatever the worker receives
in wages ,he must spend for the neces-
saries of life. In addition. he is al-
ways compelled to pay the employer
an excessive profit on his own wages.
