More than a year ago The Mas
ses, a radical publication of New
York city, was with Art Young a j
famous cartoonist made co-defendant J
in a libel suit at the instance of the
Associated Press.
The suit arose over the charge
that the Associated Press nows on
labor matters was tainted at its
source, and specifically the infor
mation published as news during
the West Virginia coal strike was
furnished by gunmen. A striking
cartoon emphasizing the montal pro
stitution of such a condition by
Young added to the indignation of
the plaintiff.
Oast January, after the Associated
Press had gone to great lengths
telling what it was going to do to
the Mi*.bsc3, and the Masses had ac
cepted the challenge with vigor ana
alacrity, the case is dropped.
What other inference is there
from this with New York juries be
ing whr.t they are, and New YorX
courts being what they are, an i
New York prosecutors being what j
they* are, but that the assertions;
made i:i the Masses far from being
untrue were on the other hand tn ■ ,
exact truth? And what could inci
dentally demonstrate the need of the j
workers when perusing their capital-;
ist papers furnished with such news
service, of reading with mental cir
cumspection, or better yet support
ing the labor papers where labor
Mueotions and labor news rre fur
nished from the labor standpoint?
Glory Hallclujr.h! It is an
nonneed by a mnlt'.tude of editors
who have been interviewed by the
Mterary Digest that tho Tariff Is to
bo the election issue. Infant indus
tries which have boon lacking in the
proper and most nourishing fool
are languishing, and war babies need
protection. For noble idealism Am
erican politics certainly reach tin
.‘.13rd and last degree.
So it will once more bo tile con-'
iantion of excited employers and em
ployees thali the country will fare1
but ill if the tariff is not restored
to its pristine purity of republican
protectiveness, and full dinner'( alls'
The democrats w nt d red
ness to tie the issue, but lit • R -pub
licans declined that. They said that
preparedness had been their Ion;.,
suit ages before it entered the cate
gory of New Freedom theses. They j
insist that it will be the tariff, the |
whole tariff and nothing but the
tariff that will agitate and disturb
the mental activities of the free and j
independent American voter this I
coming election.
it's a great issue. It admits cl
endless verbal contortions, endless
bickerings and arguments, endless
articles, dissertations to perplex an:r
delight the unthinking worker,
livery political goose can have its
cackle, but to protect or not to
protect the low wage schedules will
lie the unheeded and unspoken
theme that no one will dream of
exposing.
Scott Nearing speaking before a
socialist meeting the other day said
that the capitalist papers practically i
controlled the dissemination ot I
news and the authorities on social i
subjects were all capitalists. He i
said it was time that the workers I
did their own writing. i
True enough; but the more inline i
'diata need just now for the work
ers ia to do their own thinking. i
That i3 the trouble right alonu. ,
The workers accept thoughts ready
made* like a pair of overalls, from
the thought mills of the employing i
classes. They dont stop to work out I
their-' own id&as when they have i
ideas, and prefer to follow in the ■
rut the great capitalist social raa- i
•chine has marked ahead of them to
follow in. i
The Industrial Worker ventures
to say that some Industrial achieve
i
i
i
moats “Made in America” have
those of the more effete and older
civilizations backed off tho map.
Take conditions In the Hotel
Statler of Cleveland, quite an eetaD
lishment in that burg. The factory
inspector discovered that the lady
waiters were furnished with
“locked” purses furnished with
placed by the patrons while the
waitresses themsolvos received about
d dollar a day. If they didn't get
enough tips to suit the management
they wore canned, and it was
daily occurence for the girls to be
on the carpet and warned that their
purses were not filled with sufficient
bawbees to suit the management.
Praise the Lord, the glories of
our civilization reach the stars.
It may not be generally known
these days of preparedness and con
scription and feden^l militia ana
continental armies, that according
to the British Constitution a stand
ing army iq illegal unless sanctioned
especially annually by parliament.
But it is so. Under the Bill ot
Rights it is declared illegal for the
Crown to maintain a standing army
unless parliamentary sanction Is re
ceived yearly. Hence every year
what is known as the Army bill Is
passed through parliament whereby
a standing army is authorized and
monies appropriated therefor.
Tho reason for this is that Par
liament discovered that a standing
army had boon used to crush the li
berties of the people, and it was de
sired to control it absolutely.
It's a funny thing that tho claim
to fight German militarism is re
suiting in the establishment of mill
tarism* just as bad as anything of
the Prussian brand throughout the
world.
The Archbishop of Canterbury
and the ecclesiastical head of the
English Church has advised the
e'ergy not to enlist. And another
statesman who is also a cabinet mi
nister officially announces that the
tithes paid by the people to main
tain their church will not be subject
to a war tax. Verily is the clergy's
a chosen profession and endowed
with blessings manifold during these
turbulent times. No wonder the
prelates and the parsons are mighty
strong for war and conscription.
So far no one is heard suggesting
lhat the Columbus raid case be sub
mitted to arbitration.
Arbitration is trusted by on one.
I’he only man willing to submit to
arbitration is the man who cannot
;et the best of it otherwise. It is
the same in international squabbler.
tVe are about realizing that Justice
is the interest of the stronger, ana
t’s tho strong man and the strong
lass and the strong nation that gets
there. >
Because the employing class are
lowerful they can dictate terms to
he workers and “have nothing tt>
irbitrate.”
When the employing class at any
ime feels itself up against a tough
>roposltlon it’s as willing as any
>ther class to arbitrate. They ar
dtrated tho railroad troubles and
hey arbitrated the anthracite coal
itruggle. They knew beforehand
low it would end. It appoars to be
inly the workers who talk arbitra
ion unless it’s William Jennings
Jryan when a peace prophet. And
iven Bryan wont discuss the suh
ect over these Mexican raids.
The Chicago police has a style all
ts own. When in doubt play force
s its taotto, and as it is invariably
in the side of tho plunderbund the
vorkers experience the application
if force time and time again.
A strike breaker was killed somt
Ime ago during the garment work
irs trouble and the police arrested
l suspect. They placed him in the
ame tank with a known plug-ugly.
- -.ur1,1!.1 l.U—. "* ' ■--»
This man represented himself as a
union man asked the suspect what
he knew about the killing of the
strike breaker. The suspect said he
knew nothing, and thereupon he
was beaten up into a shapeless mass
in the jail.
The police methods of some of
these cities are sure to make the
union workers celebrate the Fourth
of July with greater seat.
American capitalists east and
west are getting alarmed. The
reason for this alarm Is that they
observe in European countries now
at war the industries being con
ducted under government aid and
government supervision. This was
brought about by the emergency
created by the war and has resulted
in the increased efficiency of all
[ those factories.
This system of organisation ob
tained in Germany before the war.
The government aided and super
vised and directed the great indus
trial organizations. The profits
were private, the ownership was
private, but the Industries were aid
ed and assisted by the government
That system obtains right now in
Japan and that system is respons
sible for the great commercial and
industrial growth of Japan.
It has tho groat advantage of ab
solute control of labor, and it has
the added advantage of making the
government purely an adjunct of
business.
American capitalists proclaim
the fact that a similar condltou
must obtain in the United States if
American Industry is to survive the
competition with European manu
facturers and European industrial
organizations after the war. They
aay that first of all they must cut
down their costs of production, anl
equalize the conditions of labor here
and in Europe, they must further
obtain government support in their
ent-rprises so that government will
practically be a very active and si
lent partner in the operations, al
though sharing nothing in the pro
fits.
j They turn to the Hamburg-Am
' erican line. the Nord-Deutcsher
Lloyd and point out the enormous
! progress made with and by the ai l
j of government assistance. They turn
[to the more private indusries su-li
as ore reduction, dye manufacture
; and the like and point out how
I completely efficient became those In
Germany by and with government
aid. They then turn to Great Bri
tain and publish approvingly the
fact that because the government im
mediately camo to the aid of the
British Chemical works and British
Dye Works, they became in a few
months wholly Independent of Ger
man products whereas the United
States has not roached that stage
as yet.
This system Is known as super-or
ganization. Some call It semi-na
tionalization. But whatever name
it goes by, it means that the entire
governmental system is to bo de
voted wholly and entirely to the
benefit of Big Business.
That idea is not by any means
new. Shipping owners long ago
wanted subsidies from the govern
ment, railroads long ago obtained
much freo land to assist their enter
prise, Cortelyon turned over mill
one to New York banks in tbq panic
of 1907, so it is not wholly untried.
But these were only sporadic ef
forts, wholly without system and
purely fortuitous. What is now
wanted is a. systematic control ot
government for the benefit of Big
Business. Not indirect like a tariff
but direct and open as in Germany
and Great Britain during war tlmo
and as in Germany and Japan dur
ing peace.
It is coming of course. Big
Business gets whatever it sets out
to obtain. It never yet was denied.
And because of its economic power
and its organization it never will be.
The question is what are the work
ers going to do about it? Sit still
and listen to the Milwaukee Leader
expound the delights of. government
ownership and the achievement ot
themillenium by returning Victor
Berger to Congress?
