...affirmative case rests, the speaker said, on an attempt to prove that trade unionism has invaded the rights (1) of the employer, (2) of the non-union men, (3) of the general public. These three points the three speakers would endeavor to prove...
...Binkerd continued the debate for Yale, arguing that the trade unions have persistently violated the rights of the non-union man. Among these rights are (1) the right of personal security, and (2) the right to work. Mr. George Curtiss, Justice Brewer and President Eliot testify that there has been a general tendency to invade these rights, and the thousands of injunctions protecting nonunion men from interference, the great mass of legal decisions of the past twenty years, affirming the right to work, and the fact that nearly every state has specific laws against violence and intimidation is proof that...
Weldy, the second speaker on the negative, denied that trade-unionism has shown the general tendency alleged by the previous speaker. The non-union man is the small minority in the unionized trades, and has been injured in times of strike only.

The arguments of the affirmative relative to restriction and number of apprentices were considered and the results of such restriction were claimed to be unimportant in their actual...
...government in the disposition of his labor and to the mass of laborers unionism is giving this. The special evils to which the affirmative points are intermittent and transitory and show no general unfavorable tendency. Trade unionism has always stood for arbitration and conciliation--The affirmative blames it for non-incorporation: it should be remembered that unionism is a comparatively recent movement and time must be expected to elapse before it develops to the point of excellence one would wish. The movement has, however, done enough already to be accounted good in its results; it has introduced democracy and self...
