To find among railways, longshoremen, trolleys, telegraph, tele phone, express and truck companies and in mines that labor is pooling its resources; to see why it does this; to see the weakening and even disappearance of the old local isolated craft union and the rise of a more class conscious organi zation, including scores of unions, is to see what is actually taking place.
Not a country has escaped the threats of this new phalanx. An Australian journalist speaks for many coun tries in thus describing his own.
