Stewart ' . , London; Oct. 8.--Oranlzed capital and organized labor in Great Britain- are marshaling their forces for the greatest " Industrial struggle that En,glandr--peT-haps the j world has ever seen. The . worklngraeft believe themselves face to face with a carefully planned attemot to crush unionism outof existence. The captains of Industry consider that labor . tyraryny has reached a point where a definite stand must be made against tt or they wilt" be ruined. ' , Many causes have combined to create . ' the present situationThere has been an undoubted disposition on the employers' part to take unfair advantage of ihe agreements into which they have entered with the unions. Amang the men there ' Is a growing tendency - to : disregard ". "agreements entirely. Judgments have been gradually piling up against the un ' Ions In the courts whleh the men set down 0' capitalistic manipulation of the Judiciary. Last "but not least, there Is the agitation against the-house of lords, which has gone ao far as'to start a class war In England. .::.; ' O i borne judgment Xast Straw. ; What is known as the "Osborner Judg ment" the decision which - practically ends the present system of labor repre sentation; in parllarnent-r has ' rnrely precipitated the crisis." but landl Te aoonslble for It, as many people Imag ine. The present situation has been de veloping for years.v Both sioes nave foreseen It and both have been preparing- fOr it-.:-'--,: ' "V:Z'- ,V In a sense the Labor Union congress held at Sheffield recently the most im portant Industrial, conference ;ver' held in Great Brltaln-2-dellberately: undertook to precipitate hostilities. Decision after decision was reached, any one of which the unionists must have realised, would render warfare inevitable. The first of these decisions looked to th federation of all labor unions Into a single great . organra,tton. ' Hitherto each trade has had its own individual union which, . apart , from contributing to a common fund for the support, or labor members in parliament, has been ' absolutely Independent of all the rest. In future, there is to.be a -single great union to which all of the 2,500,000 of organized British workers will belong. Employers and employers' " federations wtllnp longer have to-contend with mere local 1 unions they will be faced, Itf every dispute,, by the entire combined forces Of labor throughout the whole country. . , Laborer Axe Well Organised, The congress also ended insubordina tion in labors franks and put a stop to, .the unauthorised, local strikes of which there have been so many of late. Gath ered together,? the leaders found them selves - strong ,', enough to crush , these sporadic attempts at Insurrection once and for all. Henceforward labor union ists will hwv i -orders, from . those In authority or leave the -central '. organization., -' . , i: -'.- rV But the congress' last decision was by far the most Immediately Important By a ote, of 7U.0OO to 18,000 it was resolved to fight the "Osborne Judg- - ment" tooth and nail.- And not only was this decision Important In itself ..but it proved 'the capitalists' contention that labor was hopelessly split upon thls matter to be utterly false. : -The unionists have finally reached a . point where they have abandoned the battle cry "We defy the employers," for the slogan "We defy the law.". De fiance of this kind la rare In England, ' and for that reason It is all the more remarkable, And, as might be expect ed, the union? have strengthened them selves enormously by the.; firmness of the staid they have taken.' "Three weeks ago the union leaders regarded the situ ation as ominous for their organisations,. It, looked as it their authority: was to be. set at naught, the unions rent by ' disagreements over the' action to be . taken concerning the , "Osborne Judg ment" and the common fund reduced to zero. ., -.. ;;.. y - The determined stand taken by the Bhef field Union Labor congress has re moved all these dangers. , The fight over the '"Osborne Judg ment'' Is not' to be fought solely on Its own account. "Apart from nullifying the- Judgment,- It is -inwnded -to serve as . a demonstration. In force. Not only do the runlons mean to compel a reversal .: of the obnoxious decision they mean to show the world and more especially . .the employers how great is their united strength and to what limits they are prepared to go to enforce their wishes. I tabor Xolds Balance of Power. ' The first weapon which the leaders ... intend to take up is the parliamentary one; At the present moment labor Is an Important factor In the house of com mons. Time after time labor votes , have been the means of keeping the present Liberal administration In power. Hardly a week passes, indeed, that the labor member' 40 votes fail to hold the . scale 'betweenrthe twq great parties. p-Tney- ere- consequently -a- group to be cultivated. . , v. When parliament reassembles . then, , the labor leaders will, approach the cab inet with a friendly request 'for legisla tion to upset the "Osborne judgment ' .... Too ministers say Just now that they have not yet decided how to act upon his request, if they finally decide to let. the Laborltes'have' what they want all will be well and good. If not, upon the first Important.' Vote the : Labor members will def their .utmost to turn the administration out of office on the Spot i . failing this, other methods sre to be "be employed, Taking a leaf out of the suffragettes' text book, the labor lead er wlU defy , the law and go on Just - as . if no "Osborne Judgment", had ever been rendered.. -1 That is 10 say the un , Ions which have been enjoined from us ing their funds to maintain Labor mem bers In parliamentwill keep on levying '' money forparliamentary purposes and a spending it as before. :?. ,M. This will naturally mean the leaders' Imprisonment for scdntempt ' of court The unionists know this and three of the most prominent -'- of them David l Emilia, .SI. P, of the Scotch miners, John Brace. M. P.; of the Welsh miners, ltd Stephen Walsh. M. P.i of the Lan cashire and Cheshire miners have al ready signified . their wllUngnesV, to go to jail , .

' ' '' " ::: v. number 650,000 of all tha labor unions In Great .Britain. One by one the other big unions have voted to follow the miners'example. . . .f T ' ' j The importance of this decision can not "be overestimated. It has changed the whole political 'outlook in the coun tryThe greatest industry In the land Is In open and-unanimous . rebellion against what has hitherto been the su preme and unquestioned authority, k Whether, In faie of this fact, any administration would have the courage to arrest a popular labor leader, Is doubtful.. Should it do so It would cer tainly arouse such, a storm among the country's workers , as has' never been known b'ef ore, . And even though Mhe ministry succeeded in dealing with tha situation for the time being, ita defeat In the next election would be "assured. English worklngnnen sometimes criticize and -complain of their own leadersbut they allow no one else to do so.. ' - In any jcsbb the matter must quickly come to a head, Late autumn is the time for collecting the "parliamentary levy." Practically all the unions will collect It as a matter of course. This will mean a climax at once. r Ona other great weapon--th most dangerous of all remains to the union ists. It is the general s'trIke.T' .TTT " : Modern leaders of the British labor movement do not," as a rule, approve of the strike. They prefer to use their in fluences ; In other -ways and to obtain their ends by peaceful means if possi ble. In all the great Industrial disputes Of recent years this method has been entirely adecessf ut Strikes are resort ed toiOnly when everything else-(fail3. f It will be So in the present case: Only as a last resort will a strike be de clared. It Is almost Impossible to esti mate the extent of trouble which' may ensue In tjje event, of a strike. By means of the coming federation Qf the unions it can be made universal. - In half an hour tha industrial life of the entire nation can be paralysed. ' Strike Xs last Resort, - If a general strike cannot bring about what the unionists want,- then nothing can I.,.- It ..' i '"i '',' . . In one word, labor has simply got to win i tha Impending; struggle i. If it loses, its power as a Vital national force will b ended. TKot djtily will the trades unions Jose, their parliamentary repre sentation but they will be hopelessly discredited In all eyes.
