THK WHY OF YIOLKNCK.
Here is a dispatch which is pub
lished from outside papers, not la
bor papers by the way:
“Cleveland — About four hund
red strikebreakers, returning w'est
from New York where they have
been, herded in the event of a rail
road strike, broke loose in a free-for
all light when titeir train reached
this city. It is stated that riot be
gan because of a feud between the
St. Louis and Chicago “free and in
dependents”. Every window in the
two coaches was shattered by bull
ets and the tracks were strewn with
revolvers, knives and black jacks
discarded by the thugs when the
train stopped and it was charged by
police reserves.
One man was shot and killed and
bis body thrown from the moving
train to the tracks where the wheels
dismembered him; a second, shot on
the side, was carried from the train
dying; two men, one of them suffer
ing from a serious wound, wei^- cap
tured and charged with murder; an
other, so badly injured that lie had
to lit placed in a guard in the nos- |
was charged with shooting to
Xill; a sixth was stabbed so that he
i; in a serious condition, and ten
others more or less wounded were
thrown into tells at the police head
quarters".
Those men concerning whom the
the dispatch above re-printed was
written, were to be used in crushing
a labor strike. They are used ex
pressly for that purpose and reptc
sient the social scum from the lowest
lions of the cutes.
In a statement recently issued by
the Industrial Relations Committee
^ir West says of the strikebreakers.
•'Waddell, the most experienced
member of the lirnt of Berghofl
Hros. and Waddell, admitted to Mi.
Ohenery and to me that he has no
prejudice against ex-convicts. But
on tiie contrary finds many of them
particularly valuable for the work in
hand.
The firm's attorney while attempt
ing to seeure the release of thirty
strike-breakers who had been jailed
by Sheriff Kinhead, protested to the
authorities of Hudson county that
it was unreasonable to ask the firm
to put up bail for these men. In my
presence he said to the under sheriff
and the prosecuting attorney:
“These men are a lot of irrespons
ible thugs. My clients could not
be responsible for their movements.
Jn 24 hours they would have disap
peared and we would have to forfeit
their bail—.
Waddell told us he could raise an
army of ten thousand in twenty
four hours, all armed men. He said
that many of them were ex-soldiers
who loved adventure and were will
ing to quit their jobs in the hope
of finding it as strikebreakers. “As
a matter of fact most of them are
recruited from the scum and dregs
of the cities. Ex-convicts are pre
ferred because they can be relied
upon to do the dirty work without
squealing”. The agency employing
Ahem shares their secret, and is able
to use this knowledge to control
them like slaves. The agency has
'something on them’ and they can
“turn them up' if they do not per
forin satisfactorily.”
That is competent testimony from
1 lie-head of the greatest strike brek
ing agency in the world. That is
competent testimony from the firm
I hat supplied men in Calumet and
jiayonne, in Colorado and a dozen
other places where strikes occurred
great and small. And in all those
places violence occurred. The men
were prepared for that; the) were
armed for that; that was their 1 unc
tion and when the violence did oc
cur, the entire capitalist press
rose on its hind legs
and howled against the
disorderly conduct of the strikers,
and the necessity existed for enforc
ing law and order.
Hut this testimony from Waddell,
* and this Cleveland press dispatch
which we have reprinted, gives the
truth away. The capitalist howl foi
law and order is only a myth. They
want the strike suppressed and they
4lont care a whoop in what manner
It is effected.
The usual manner of action is as
follows: The strike breaks out. The
unionists are quiet and orderly.
TheV are counseled against violence
and they are not violent. The em
ployers hire strike-breakers who be
ing violent deliberately provoke
violence; the military are called in,
the unionists jailed and charged
with every crime in the calendar,
and the discouraged unionists return
to work.
That really ended the strike in
West Virginia; it certainly ended
the strike of the copper miners in
I North Michigan; it caused tne
collapse of the strike in Colorado;
it ended the strike in the silk mills
of Paterson and Passaic, it was the
story of the strike In Roosevelt and
the previous strike in Bayonne.
Moreover, the most marked charac
teristic of all this is that the strike
breakers however violent have never
been punished. Although murder,
arson, looting, assault upon women
and children have been brought
I home directly and unerringly to
these thugs, in all the states of the
entire union not one of them once
j ha? been prosecuted, convicted'and
| served their sentence.
There have been unionists rail
roaded for a variety of alleged
crimes. The law moves with no lag
gard step after the labor unionist
who is charged with a felony, but
the governments of the states have
gone out of their way to protect and
uphold the thuggeries of the strike
breakers, just because they were
strike breakers.
We would like to have an up
holder of the present system ex
plain this. We would like to have
him explain why it is that the
unionists can be attacked, murdered
or mutilated, that their homes can
be burned down and their wives and
daughters outraged, and never at
any time in the history of strikes
have the guilty ones been punished.
| Vet they have been exposed time
j and time again. They have even
I been convicted time and time again.
But none have paid the penalty for
j their crimes. They were protected
because they were the strike break
ej:s, always and ever willing to fight
the battles of oppressive employers.
Moreover, the employing classes
invariably turn to the criminal scum
for their support in strikes. Even
in Seattle the notorious Wappen
stein who made the name of Seattle
police a stench in the nostrils of all
right minded people was sought out
by the employers to take charge
of the gunmen in the longshoremen’s
strike. And this ex-convict at the
head of his battalion of thugs was
■ to enforce law and order.
It is quite necesary that we get
out of this hypocritical state of
mind which the employing classes
through their press endeavor to
foist upon us. They are not up
holders of law and order, unless
it is their “law” to protect them in
their villanies and the ‘order” that
strips the workers all power to re
sist their outrageous terms.
They provide for themselves an
aggregation of thuggery and villainy
and proceed to “perform satisfactor
ily” as Waddell said, because the
firm has something on them and
they were well controlled slaves.
