I RKKIIOM IN BUTTE.
Arthur E. Reimer the Socialist
Labor Party candidate for the high
office of President of the United
States had a fine experience in
Butte, Montana. Butte, Montana, is
now a barony of the Amalgamated
Copper Company. The workers
there are serfs of the industrial
overlords of the Amalgamated Co.
The elected officials are the servants
of the industrial chiefs. And liber
ty as it exists in Montana is of
that type which is graciously per
mitted the people who reside there,
and make their living directly
indirectly off the copper mining.
As far as any such thing as real
freedom is concerned, one might
just as well be in Siberia. In Si
beria, human activities are permit
ted without restraint within the
circumscribed area of official sanc
tion. All that a man wants to do he
can do; provided those acts are not
any way antagonistic to ibe official
dom over which the people h •ve no
say and about which th ?y car. utter
no protest. But in Siberi: th<*y
have one very positive advantage
They dont pretend to freedom. They
dont pretend to have either politi
cal or industrial liberty, and to
that extent at any rate they are bet
ter off than in Butte. In Butte the
Amalgamated Copper Co. is king.
All officials, mayor, chief of po
lice, sheriffs and underlings of one
petty breed or another, must in re
ality conform to the requirements
of the Amalgamated Copper Co., be-(
fore they can hold office. Yet the
press of Butte would indignantly
spurn the idea that it is not free;
t lie politician in Butte and the min
ers in Butte, immersed in the most
hopeless industrial slavery', would
have any and all believe that they
are free.
All this by way of an introduc
tion. Arthur Reimer, the duly ac
credited S. L. P. candidate for pre
sident in the course of his campaign
visited Butte. And in order to cam
paign ventured to speak in the
streets. He had not collected a
larger audience than twenty five;
did not block the side walk or the
street; but he was promptly arrest
ed; and after a chewing match in
the jail as to what charge would be
preferred against him, he was held
for interfering with the traffic, and
thrown into a vermin trap of a cell
and held there until court met next
day.
There was no law and no ordi
nance to convict Reimer; just the
fiat of the police chief, and al
though the police agreed that he ob
structed no traffic, did not interfere
with the coming or the going of
vehicles or pedestrians, on street or
on side walk, he was adjudged guil
ty and fined ten dollars, the sen
tence being suspended.
That was Reimer’s case.
Since then and before, republican
and democratic politicians have
blocked streets and side walks with
demonstrations, parades and gather
ings of all kinds. But there has not
been and had not been any attetnpt
to arrest them, for the very simple
reason that Butte is as free as
Siberia, no more and no *less.
The reason Reimer was an objec
tionable man, was the Amalgamated
Copper Co. in its barony is threat
ened by the propaganda that he
might carry N on among the poor
serfs. He comes among them with
a message, not founded upon some
idle theory, but upon the solid foun
dation of the class struggle; and he
ably enough assists in showing them
how it is they are enslaved and why,
and how they can be freed and why.
The Chief of Police is merely a
serving man who realizes his duty,
is to his industrial over lord, the
Amalgamated. He is merely a po
litical flunkey whose duty it is to
see that no obnoxious agitation is
permitted to be carried on would in
terfere with the profit accumulation
of his masters. He is the good
| steward who sees to it that the
fruits of his overlord's serlfdom are
carefully conserved, and in accord
ance with his line of duty, he takes
hetion. He swears to uphold the
constitution and the laws of the
United States, but he only upholds
such of the constitution and such
of the laws of the United States as
the industrial chiefs who control
hint will allow. The constitution
allows free speech. To the chief’s
mind, free speech is such as may be
uttered by capitalist-conserving de
mocrat or capitalist-conserving re
publican. He has not any time for
any teaching or any campaign
matter or any political ac
tion which in the least
threatens the exploitation it
is the right of might to indulge in.
Hence Reimer is arrested and
thrown into jail. Hence the capital
ist candidates and capitalist poli
ticians can block traffic, close
streets and generally spout all they
want to: because Amalgamated
approves.
It is really a very interesting and
instructive experience that Reimer
had. But imagine Charles E.
Hughes, Woodrow Wilson or Roose
velt being similarly handled, if they
dared to address the crowd in the
streets or blocked traffic. Freedom?
Of Course, the freedom of any in
dustrial serfdom—within such limits
and under such conditions as th(
industrial over lords dictate. And
tin- pliant press will still persist in
maintaining that it is Liberty. Bui
You cannot tell Arthur E. Reimqr
that. You cannot persuade him
that the right of free speech exists
where a person who attempts to ex
ercise that right is prompty jailed in
a vermin ridden cell where one pri
soner died while Reimer was there,
despite the effort of other prisoners
to attract attention, and the dead
is thrown into the dead wagon in
the morning like a dog.
But why liberty in Butte? Liber
ty is not an essential. The idea of
Butte is to produce copper and pro
duce copper is to pro
duce dividends for the mine owners.
Political or industrial liberty in no
>vay, shape, manner or firm con
duces to that end. It does not pro
mote the efficiency of the producer;
it may very well interfere with it.
It certainly may threaten the steady
flow of profits. Hence its abolition,
and hence the gradual elimination
of such constitutional rights as may
lean towards the establishment of
personal freedom. Industrial pre
paredness and industrial progress
require the elimination of a number
of these ancient constitutional pri
vileges, and therefore and accord
ingly the thoughtful overlords of
this industrial barony abolish
them.
