Note 7 — Chapter II · —SOME PERTINENT ASPECTS OF THE PRESENT INDUSTRIAL SITUATION

If common laborers are admitted in the near future to unions of other workers in the same industry, they will be admitted not from self interest, but from more altruistic motives, from a growing spirit of class consciousness attended, perhaps, by a correspondingly growing realization of class responsibility"—"Amalgamation of Related Trades in Unions."
