Over 11,000,000 unemployed are still hugging the sunny side of buildings these cold spring days-- say one-third of the working class, of the "production for use"... That's where they are in this country, on the lea-side of building or wall... over in Europe the unemployed are on the battle fields

The boss, the employer, has a heart that expands surprisingly when he is shorthanded for whatever reason, even so as it contracts equally as much and suddenly whenever the supply of labor power fullfills the demand. Therefor I am convinced that in the event of an emergency his heart would swell and he would bid the wages high, temporarily at least, And even it does backslide and his heart shrinks to the size of a sweet-pea it doesn't mean a thing other than that the workers should there-upon chop another hour off the workday and cause the employers heart to re-swell to the proper lions it was before.

No. You cannot unite the workers by sticking up additional unions--that is division (I learned in school) and subtracts from the powers of the working class. One Big Union is the thing--not only world wide but international and national industrial in manner and form. For workers are in direct contact with their own industry and positively acquainted with the conditions.
