AS TO POLITICS.
Today being election day, and as j
many will excite themselves over is
sues which may or may not be in- [
volved, a few words as to polities j
from the standpoint of this paper
and the Miners Union which owns :
and controls it. may not be, and
should not be amiss.
The Miners Union is not as a
body endorsing candidates in this
election, although tlie individual ;
in, mbors thereof may actively on- !
gage therein on their own personal
responsibility, and doubtless the ma
jority will express their opinions at
the polls.
The political action in which the
union believes is that which is a
reflex of the organization itself: a i
workingdass tick -t with working
class not middle < lass policies.
That any of the issues involved 1
in this election arc working class
issues is of course not the ease. I
Some reforms may be suggested 1>>
this one or by that, hut the inten
tion is that it will be a bourgeois
government for the large or small
business man and in their interest j
solely.
Naturally for that reason there is
little use getting excited over this
election and regardless of whom the
people may elect. the worker will
still he committed to his toil just
because he is a wage worker.
The end of working class politics
is a totally different end to that ot
any other. In the first place it seeks
a triumph for tin1 express purpose
of abolishing a class administra
tion of affairs. And to be success
ful it presupposes a well organized
• conontit organization which wilt
have power to hack up the political
ads which may be the subject ot
hitter opposition in any event.
We observe critics of labor poli
tics denounce it because of the in
jrction of class antagonisms into
the political realm. As if, indeed,
such class antagonisms were not
plentifully in evidence under any
party administration. The main
trouble with those who complain ot
the class nature of labor politics is
that they have closed their eyes
and refuse to see the most obvious
fact, that party politics is class po
lities, to the exclusion of the work
ing class altogether.
In fine whether we discover defi
nite exploiting interests seeking re
presentation, throwing sops to labor
to keep them quiet, sops which
have seldom the doubtful use ot
ever being recognized in the courts
or even enforced it is still class
politics.
Because a number of men are
politically ambitious is no reason
why they represent any labor inter
est. To represent labor interests
they must have the hacking of the
economic organization, supporting
them through thick and thin be
cause of their being the representa
tives of such organized labor and
with labor ideals in view.
The Industrial Worker would
emphasize tlie fact that unless can
didates who are workingmen are
nominated and endorsed by labor,
and nominated and endorsed by la
bor for the express purpose of ccr
• tying out in a clear class conscious
manner the designs of labor, and re
flecting in their representation the
united and solidified strength of la
bor upon the economic field, then
-only are they the legitimate candi
dates of labor.
I,abor does not inject the class
Issue into politics to perpetuate
the rule of one dominant class in
society. Labor does not insist upon
class conscious action so that the
working classes may govern the
other classes. Labor Injects the
class issue as the only issue ot
vital importance on the economic
and the political field in order that
the triumph of such may mark for
ever the abolition of all classes in
that neither this nor that shall be
dominant, but that there shall be
neither exploiters nor exploited.
It is essential that these funda
mental principles be recognized by
the workers no matter how they
may be regarded by any others.
They represent bed rock, basic facts.
They are the only principles that
we can espouse with consistency
mil without stultification. There
may be all kinds of means to an
end. but this is the only means that
will preserve us from bewildered
uncertainty in the maze of politics.
Essentially labor politics must
be the reflex of the economic orga
nization. It must be simply its ex
pression upon the political field. It
can not give a divided allegiance to
petty bourgeois ideals and at the
same time class itself as laborite.
It. has done so; but invariably it has
done so at a great cost to the eco
nomic organization by which, and
by which alone, the political activ
ities are justified.
CtKHMIMCATKO.
The Editor Industrial Worker:
It was very gratifying indeed to
read in your last issue the several
plaforms of ambitious candidates,
even though these declarations come
at the eleventh hour like a death
bed repentance, they nevertheless
may lie taken as the outward
and visible signs of sincere inten
tions.
A careful perusal of some of these
manifestoes leads to tlie conclusion
that they were mainly inspired with
a desire to deny certain reports or
rumors, connecting the names ot
candidates with seductive influences,
dark intrigue and tainted interests.
It is marvellous how very sensi
tive and irritable candidates for
office become even when surrounded
by flic mildest and most soothing
i ondit ions.
But the platforms as a whole onl>
set forth, in a very perfunctory
manner, the respected authors’ inter
tion “if elected” to obey the law
and perform their duties to the best
of their ability—a line of action
generally followed by citizens whc
do not seek and do not hold office.
But it was expected that some
economical system of city finances
would be outlined, that an equit
1 able and logical scheme of laxatioi
1 and revenue would be proposed
| that a plan for the establshmeni
! of a city coal pile would be sug
gested—that some well defined po
Hey of reducing or abolishing un
necessary expenses would be advo
cated by candidates who sought t(
have in some measure a comprelien
j siou of civic conditions. They in
[ dulge in' generalities and platitudes
and evidently consider the Eskimc
vote and the Spit bridge the issues
of the contest.
'Tis a grievous disappointment—
the shattering of great expectations
-v-but there is comfort and consola
tioii in the fact that many are cal
led but few will be chosen. Let us
hope for the best.
