Of course we know that the proponents of unionism are constantly talking about the advantages of collective bargaining for those who have their labor for sale. There may be advantages in that system, but it has never been fairly tested, and we cannot know how much merit there is in it until Digiti zed by Google THE WHITE SLAVBBY 233 laboring men are permitted to voluntarily enter into it instead of being coerced into it, as now universally practiced. We have frequently referred to the mem- bers... of the unions as having surrendered their indi- viduality and industrial freedom, but probably in most cases the surrender was not voluntary, having been brought about by force and intimidation. And knowing that a large proportion of the membership of the unions has been secured by the coercive methods of the masters, should arouse our profound sympathy for men thus enslaved in a country that boasts of being a land of freedom. The false and pernicious teachings of the masters that employers have no rights that the members are bound to respect, can never be an advantage to them, but on the con- trary productive of much harm in preventing the cordial relations between two classes of men whose interests and welfare are indissolubly bound to- gether.
