IMH STIJI \l. UNIONISM.
In an 1 bin ss delivered by Scott
arii.g he criticized tin- railroad
brotherhoods for their inefficient
form of organization and showed
that, they represented but one fifth
oi railroad employi1 -• Moreover he
jiointcd out that these brotherhood
did not receive much sympathy in
their struggle from the rest of the
railroad workers mainly because of
the tact that when the other rail
road workers had sought to benefit
their condition, the brotherhoods
had invariably remained passive
which passivity was an actual al
liance with employing companies.
lie uttered a warning that in case
ot a trouble with the brotherhoods
and a strike, this former method ot
tiie brotlnrlioods would react upon
them.
rmiuestionably Nearing is correct.
There has been an enormous lot ot
stuff written about the brotherhoods
which made them the noble heroes
of the labor movemeVit when as a
matter of fact they have been quite
the reverse and except when they
were considering their own skins,
lin y never took an active part at all
and muld never be brought to make
common cause with- their fellow
workers in the fight of the latter.
Jle urges that to make an efficient
otyj^nUati^in it is necessary to fol^
low the example of the railroads
lion of employees but all of them.
Moreover lie points out that the (lay
of the engineman and the fireman
is passing. Oil burners with me
i hanieal contrivances for feeding are
eliminating the latter very rapidly
while th«> substitution for steam of
electricity is going to make the en
gineer's calling a superfluity. It will
be very easy to run a motor and
men can be broken into that work
with so little trouble that it is cer'
tain that the roads are going to pay
engineers no such wages as they are
paying them today.
The only way that the engineers
and others can protect their wages
therefore is to make common cause
with all workers in the railroad in
dustry and organize not for the bet
terment of this or that craft but the
united brotherhood of railroad em
ployees.
What Scott Nearing said is of
course what industrial unionists
have said long since and which has
been said, it is regrettable to say,
unite in vain. The industrial form
of organization has made relatively
little progress in the United States
in ten years time and the agitation
which has been carried on has been
little better than a paper propa
ganda. This is certainly a striking
condition but it has also to be con
fessed that unionism as a whole
made relatively little progress- in
\ mi riru aiul imliiRtrinlists havit
fared not much worse than the rest.
The arguments in favor of in
dustrial unionism are unassailable,
hut arguments do not seem to he of
much account in this matter in any
• vent. The evolution of industry
may he shading itself towards the
elimination of craft unionism, hut
still the craft union hangs on in
spite of all.
The craft union is at present time
in no such position of strength as
In former days and when it con
fronts an employing organization
which will tight it, it is seldom that
the craft comes off anything htu
second best.
The craft union puts up a manful
struggle, its members fight with de
termination, but the industry being
divided into craft organizations,
they fall quite easily before the on
slaught of organized capital. •
The fight of the Pacific Coast
longshoremen in the transportation
industry last year affords a striking
ilustration of what actually hap
pens. The unionists were deter
mined men, everyone of them. But
they did not control through organl
r/atioii the transportation industry.
| They shared that with warehouse
men, with railroad workers, with
sailors and these did not make com
mon i ause with the longshoremen
because only one < raft struck at a
time.
It is very propable that had the
sailors quit when the longshoremen
quit, the strike would have ended
in a speedy victory. Hut there is
little use making such conjectures.
The fact is they did not, and they
did not because they were organized
in distinct unions.
It is not right to hold that the
workers are so entirely blind to
their environment as not to see the
| futility in some measure of this
1 system of craft unionism. On the
i contrary they do in many cases rea
lize that industrial unionism is the
only system of organization worth
while. But they have to contend
with a conventional spirit of loyal
ty to their own union, to their af
filiation and are imbued with a feel
ing of craft patriotism which pre
vents them attacking the real ob
stacle to industrial unionism. That
.obstacle is the machinery of the
craft system of organization. Every
little craft has its local or its lodge
and every little lodge or local has
jits own little staff of salaried otfi
(i iaIs. Their meal ticket is identified
MW'b that craft and these officials
nautrally are averse to any system
which would submerge their indenl
I ty in the greater industrial union
I which would especially obliterate
the pay days that come to the head's
. of the little craft unions. These
craft unions in turn have their
; headquarters which boasts of much
larger salaried staffs and these arc
in precisely the same position of de
siring to maintain intact their craft
organzation so that their machine
can be built up and made if any
thing more solid. Affiliate these
locals with other craft organizations
having also the same system of
many salaried divisional and sec
tional and local officers, and the in
dustrial union idea meets a solid
wall of hostile reaction whenever it
endeavors to wipe the craft system
off the slate.
The existence of this condition
is very serious. ft explains how
ever quite well why the craft union
persists in the face of its becoming
long ago obsolete.
Surely the idea is out of place in
these days of machine industry
when the machinist himself is little
better than an unskilled machine
tender.
In mighty few trades or callings
does the absolute craft mastery re
main as the sine qua non of the
craftsman. Today the machine
does the work that human skill per
formed in other days, and the man
who attends this highly technical
marhinp mav Wnnw iinthina at all
about it.
Industrial conditions are not eli
minating craft unions half quickly
enough. Yet that they have played
their part and long since performed
all the usefulness that was vossible
is quite clear.
The warning that gcott Nearing
uttered to the railroad brotherhoods
is to be taken up as not amiss by all
'•raft unionists. They are proceed
ing right along to the point where
their complete destruction is assur
ed and if they fail to reach out be
fore that time and unite in an in
dustrial organization. ■ the destruc
tion of all such unionism will come
about with their fall.
Fortunately the machine has made
such advanced headway that indus
trial unionism has forced for itselt
recognition before the elimination of
the craft organization, and it can
hardly be doubted that in the course
of time with the fall of the crafts
man. the salaries which maintained
the machinery of craft unionism
are also likely to go by the board
Then the craft union leaders will be
ready to bow to the Inevitable and
accept what is coming from indus
trial organizations.
