Public sentiment has always leaned towards the working
classes, and so far as legitimate effort to improve their condition,
whether through combination or otherwise is concerned, it is right
that it should be so. Under proper management and through just
methods organized labor may in many ways be beneficial to the
wage earner, and this, too, without inflicting injuries upon either
employer or employee.
But the unions should be careful to see that their organizations
are controlled by conservative men and not permit the swashbuck-
lers to dominate.
