Although a Republican, Mr. Abrahams expresses the opinion that by his treatment of organized labor President Wilson has done more than any other man in the country to prevent an outbreak here of the radicalism that is sweeping over Europe. the consideration of the labor problem in this said Mr.

Abrahams, it must be remembered that conditions here are very much different than in Europe. Labor In Russia has been nihilism; In Sp.ain It has been anarchy; In Socialism, and in the United States and Great Britain it has developed along the lines of trade unionism. 1 WANT BETTER FOR THE WORKMAN-1 WANT MUSIC IH HIS HOME AND BOOKS UPON HIS 1 WANT TO PRODUCE THB TYPE OF MAN POSSIBLE' the attention of the people. The labor question is of course one of vital importance. There is likely no leader of trade unionism in New England who is better equipped to discuss this question from the standpoint of the workingman, as well as in its broader aspect, than Henry Abrahams, For over 40 years he has been prominently identified with the movement.

He is a serviceable citizen, who has represented labor in many disputes, and who shares the confidence of both labor and capital because of his spirit of fairness and recognized integrity.

Abrahams takes an optimistic view of the future so far as labor Is concerned. He believes that the country will have little difficulty in absorbing the labor engaged in war Industries because of the dominant position the United States is bound to occupy in commerce and trade for some years to come. I the nations, both with the raw product Mr. Abrahams Is of the opinion that the ability to make the skilled as a result of the war a much better I Product. We are In a position to a dominant factor in the trade, but certain precautions must be taken, and directly.

believe that the two things which are necessary to protect our industries, and the labor of the country, are the adoption of a protective tariff, and the passage of legislation restricting immigration. It must be remembered that the laws of supply and demand regulate the wages of our workers and the profits of our Industries. Would Stop Immigration peace is declared it is fair to assume, with the havoc which has been created in Russia, that the people of that country will try to get over here, where the conditions are so infinitely better for the laboring men. And so will many of the Germans, although their government, whatever form It may take, will undoubtedly trj' to prevent Immigration to America. believe that immigration should be stopped altogether, or until conditions warrant a change and the trade has resumed its normal balance.

Should we permit Immigration, of course the labor market would be immediately dropped. With the closing of munition plants and the stoppage of the manufacture of war materials hundreds of thousands of men will be forced to enter other lines of work. It will be some task to absorb this great man-power, but the United States will be equal to it. Besides the normal peace industries, we have added hundreds of others which will require labor. There will be prosperity because the world will need what we make and we start off fresh and QUICK EIEF CONMON Get Dr.

You throw women out of their Jobs for men. They have come to stay in Industry and especially so because of the better conditions which seem to be guaranteed. -For Instance, there can be I no doubt but that the eight-hour day is generally accepted, and the principle of equal pay for equal work Includes women. Of course, we will not employ so many women as England, but there is the entering wedge in this country. has got over regarding women with unfriendly eyes.

Women have made good. I believe in women In industry, personally, but It is a condition which Is here and must 1 faced and the best made of It. Qompers Welded Labor believe that Sam Qompers has been a most powerful factor in welding labor together In this war. Labor has been loyal to the government, and I want to say that President attitude towards the trades union has had a great deal to do with not only preventing disloyalty, but the kind of outbreaks that have beer common in the European countries. trades union movement is a wage conscious and not a class conscious movement, and this is one of the reasons why we cannot have the same conditions in this country as those which prevail in the European countries, It must not be confounded with the I.

W. W. and the movements which are sweeping over Europe. Prities Must Drop First "Labor In this country is Interested fundamentally In Improving and maintaining its standard of living. The lowering of the standard of living is the only thing that will make trouble, i growing power of labor as the ability cf the workers for places of Importance in their organizations.

"The war has undoubtedly improved labor conditions to some extent, but not BO very much. There Is a good deal of talk about high wages, but it must be remembered that the purchasing power of the dollar has decreased accordingly. A man Is better off If flour is 120 a barrel and he has the money to buy it than if flour is $1 a barrel and he lacks the money. War Profits far as big wages are concerned, remember that the working man of this country is perfectly conscious that while he has enjoyed reasonable prosperity, extraordinary profits have been reaped by war proflteers like the steel and beef trust, and he does not believe that these trusts have borne their Just share of the expenses of government, or will, unless they are forced to It by a strong government in Washington, "But I believe that this prosperity will last because for years Europe will take everything that we can produce. It will be a long time before Austria and Russia are able to take advantage of their natural resources in the markets of the world.

Russia Bound to Be Slow "Russia can produce more wheat than the United States, but it will be many years before she Is able to do It. It will be a long while before Russia can set up a stable government, because the people are not prepared for democracy. Just think of it, almost 80 per cent of its people are illiterate, and people must be educated to free institutions of government before they can appreciate them. For a moment glance back into history and you will always find these equations; Slavery equals despotism. Serfdom equal constitutional monarchy.

Citizenship equals a republio. You may say that England is the exception, but remember that that country is to all effects and purposes a republic, and that the House of Lords and the King have been gradually shorn of all power In favor of the Commons. The Russians are not yet out of a condition of serfdom, and the only government they can understand and get along with Is constitutional monarchy. Just Division of Profits to come to your question about wages and their possible reduction. There Is a danger of the reduction of wages unless there is a spirit of co-operation in industry and a fairer recognition of the Importance of labor, which, of course, means a Just division of the profits of labor.

We still have men at the heads of industries who, like Louis XIV. say 'after me the and who have little co.islderatlon for anything except their selfish Interests. "But fortunately there are less of these men every day because of the If the price of commodities falls before wages fall it will not be difficult to adjust ourselves to the changed conditions, but if the reverse happens there will be trouble. And If the employer falls to meet the new conditions with the right appreciation of the power and the rights of labor there will be a political revolution during which both national parties will be swept out of existence, leaving this country In the control of i Socialism. "Labor oonditlona are steadily chang- ing.

Many employers do not recognize i that the men in their factory have had the great benefits of education. The public schools, the free press and the public libraries have produced men in- tellectually on par with their employers, i Where Bmployerg Err "Except financially the employee is; very often the equal of his employer. One of the great practical difficulties in Industry is the system which capitalists have adopted of putting their relatives and friends in places of importance In their industries without regard to their ability and falling to recognize social and intellectual force in the country. Let Courts Stand Off "Labor is demanding and will continue to demand representation on the powerful commissions of the national government, the States and the great cities. We will continue also to fight injunctions In the courts.

Ths courts of Great Britain sJmost never interfere In troubles between labor and capitaL Let the courts of the country keep out of troubles and let labor and capital settle their difficulties between themselves except when property damage Is concerned. Five-Day Week to Come "The right of the courts to grant injunctions is all wrong. For Instance the courts tell me I have got to work nine hours a day. I say that I will not do It. Is the court going to make me woTk nine houre a day? If It does Jhelr decision amounts to slavery and nothing else.

"There has been much distrust of government by labor but In this war the decisions of the war labor board have accomplished a great deal in bringing about confldenca In the government. Labor is steadily working towards a flve-day week and ultimately will get it. I believe that labor will stand behind the government ownership of railroads, railways, telegraphs, telephones and other public utilities. These things should belong to the people and be conducted by them since they are the essentials of modern day life. "So far as the share of respohslbllity In the expenses of government goes, I believe that the inheritance and income tax will settle this In the future, and make the people who have the money pay their fair share.

Germany to Be Big Rival "People who think that Germany will not be a powerful commercial rival are mistaken. I believe that Germany will build up In the future larger trusts than we ever saw In America. She will subsidize all of her Industries to a larger extent than in the past. I believe Germany will accept a free democracy because the people have been too long trained in the divine rights of kings in both their Christian and their Jewish schools. In my Judgment Germany will eventually wind up with some form of a constitutional monarchy with a legislature like that of Great Britain perhaps.

"The most necessary thing for America to do for the protection and the de- velopmeni; of Its Industries and Its workers, Is to build up a protective tariff, otherwise the cheap products of European labor will flood our markets and ruin our Industries. I believe that protection will be a party Issue any longer, since It is so obviously necessary under the changed conditions of the commerce which the war has brought about-" Wlwit the Worker rtdlculons some people are! I saw a clrctiiav the other day whloh asked If the workingmen had not spent too much money on pianoe and furniture because of the prosperity which they enjoyed during the war. "Good Lord! Can It be that we have men in this country who would deny the workingman muslo, books and a good home? What the worldngman In this country wants is a living wage, and this means enough to support and educate his children and to provide for his old age. He asks nothing more, and this he will get In Amerloa." No Labor 'Party Asked if he believed labor would develop a political party In this country, Mr. Abrahams saidi "I believe In a labor party.

Labor should continue to vote for Its friends wherever they find them. In this Is their greatest strength." Mr. Abrahams can see no possibility of an International labor party because he believes that national and racial prejudices will prevent It. "This war has demonstrated," said he, "that national prejudices are much stronger than religious prejudices, and labor In this country will never take any stock in the slogan of Karl Marx, 'Workingmen of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your Remember, too, that a trade unionist in this country Is an evolutionist and not a revolutionist.
