There was a time when trade unionism seemed a fairly simple proposition. Fair wages and decent working conditions were the objectives; what deep strategies were planned and what bitterness arose were directed against bull-headed employers. A new brand of imperialism is fast gaining favor in the United States. The market is pretty well cleaned out of the old, stock brands and those that are left carry trade names like "New Order" and "Lebensraum." Neither one attracts fastidious American buyers who long to get their teeth into something that is guaranteed pure and has a nice sweet flavor.
