'i’ln other day President Wilson,
tc calculating and delil crate man,
wc yliing his words ea.efully—r.t;1
given to hasty expressions today
and • qually hasty explanations to
morrow, spoke before tlie nation
the evil and the menace which were
these men blind to everything but
dividends. And he declared that
“he heard it insisted that more than
a just price, more than a price that
will sustain our industries must be
nt.id, that it is necessary to pay!
very liberal and very unusual pro
tits to stimulate production; that
nothing but pecuniary rewards will
do it rewards paid in money, not
in the mere liberation of the world.
r take it for granted that those
who argue thus do not stop to
think what that means. Do they
mean that you must he paid, must
be bribed, to make your contribu
tion, a contribution that cost you
neither a drop ot blood nor a tear,
when the whole world is in travail
and men everywhere depend cveiy
whero and call upon von to bring
tin in out of bondage and make the
world a fit place to live in again,
amidst peace and justice".
\ncl these scandalous occurences i
in Butte, in Bisliee, in Jerome, in a
dozen different sections, aided too
often by county and state ofpei ils,
are the answer cf the profit-lusting
overlords to the President’s appeal.
It is immaterial that right now in
this nation when theft i« above all
things a crying need for unit. o:
purnc se and solidarity of actio;:
the industrial magnates are forcing
upon the people a . lass war of such
dimensions tiiat the world has
never seen the like, arraying against
peaceable, law abiding non resisting
citizens and workers, lawless gun
men and the violence of the men
at ar ns of the chiefs of an indus
trial feudalism. That’s not demo
cracy! That is not likely to aid
in winning the war; that is as the
President said about the freight
rates “the most effective means in
their power to defeat the armies
engaged against Germany".
And the mockery of it. all, these
industrial bandits, playing the game
of the nation’s enemy, have the
effrontery to charge through the
kept press that the workers de
manding living wages, demanding
a semblance of decent treatment,
resisting the* blacklist and insisting
that they must get enough to meet
the costs of living, are playing the
German game tor German money:
It is the workers who will win
this war if it is to 1/e won. Tt will
he won by them either i'„ Khaki
as United States soldVrs. or as
workers supplying the needs of ih ■
forces of the nation. Then- labor in
industry, in field, in mine, in mill—
their valor and their gallantry and
their daring and their heroism on
tlie field of battle, will carry the
iipnu'Mc tin' nntimi to famp on
every hand while the coupon clip
pers, the bond hollies the corpora
tion heads, the financial Kings, the
cowardly assassin; of life and libe r
ty v. ill demand from tin* people the
uttermost pound of flesh-—from the
workers in the industries and from
the needs of tie' government to
maintain its armies am! its navii^
J he country will stand just so
much and no more It is fast grow
ing intolerable. The human mind
rejects with loathing the call to s-.i
rince when they are already sacri
ficed. The human mind will resent,
does resent the infamous atrocities
which are being perpetrated against
labor on every hand, whose oniy
offense is that it lias demanded
some semblance of the rights of
men, ostensibly free citizens of a
free republic.
We must admit that no nation
can tol 'rate the outrages which tin
insolent and arrogant industrial
overlords have of late perpetrated
in our midst. Suppose for one in
stant that the workers had taken
the big interests and ejected them
from the Warn n distric t in Ari
zona. suppose the y had taken \\ . A.
Clarke and hung him instead of
their gunmen hanging Little from
the railroad trestle—there would
hi'.\e been a roar of indignation
front end to end of the earth; the
capitalist and kept press would
have shouted in unholy horror for
twelve months demanding blood
and vengeance. Nor would it have
been all talk! The militia of the
state and the entire armed forces ■
I of that section would have been at
! the disposal of tlie interests. The
streets of Bishee would have red
ik’.vd \\ ith the workers blood and j
;or every mine opeiator hanged!
there would have .‘een a dozen ,
workers.
There's not a man reading these
iines that does not know that this
is so—and ye* what have the woru
ers to do apparently and what are
they expected to do, but regard
these actions as a threat of what
may come if they too dare to assert
their rights.
We have said that the finest lines
in the entire Magna Charta—a long
long time ago it was granted by
King John—was that significant de
claration about the freeman “and
no man durst make him afraid!”
That was the key to the whole si
tuation! It is the groat and growing
and all powerful influence of money
that is making cowards of us all.
It is making the mind of the mas
1 ses, the mind of a slave. It is en
tering into every channel of human
activity, and it is. without any let
or hinderance from the law. “mak
ing nten afraid".
it < hills tlm hot glow of enthusi
asm in liberty lovers; it unnerves
the hand of those who would fight
for liberty, for democracy, for gov
ernment by the peofde, of the peo
ple, it hushes the voice that would
protest against tyranny and it cen
sors the line that would denounce
evil and wrong and injustice
wherever witnessed: Anti it is
done by these plutocratic hypo
crites and tlioir servile tools in the
name ot patriotism, in the name of
the nation, in the name of demo
cracy—in the name of everything
that they have done in a thorough-]
lv effective way, their very best to
destroy and discredit in our midst
—these Huns of industry!
