Excerpt from Organized Labour: Its Problems and How to Meet Them

Organized labor's to-morrow is in the making to-day. Certainly, this proposition is axiomatic in relation to all men and all institutions; but there come times when the fact is obtrusively evident. An hour for definite decision between courses diametrically Opposed is an hour whose influence may determine the events Of a century or a millennium.

Such a crisis is imminent in the history of organized labor. Two contradictory theories upon which to mold its future present themselves and there can be no compromise between them. Being entirely convinced Of the wisdom Of one Of these courses of action, and hence necessarily entirely opposed to the adoption of the other, I am impelled to strive with all my power to induce my fellow workmen to set their feet upon that path which secures to them in their days reason able enjoyment oi the good in life, and at the same time leads them onward to the making Of progressively better conditions for their posterity. It is a choice between light and life as against darkness and death, and I am for light and life.

A word concerning a matter which touches me closely. Having been informed that the settled policy Of the publisher precludes the use of the Allied Printing Trades label upon books published by it, I have requested and Obtained the permission of the Macmillan Company to announce that this book was manufactured under union conditions.
