The retort of the republicans in [
the matter of the Gompers denun
ciation of Hughes for his part in the
Danbury Hatters decision while on
the Supreme Bench, is as effective
iis far as it goes. He interpreted
the law. And when they rub it in i
by quoting the Wilson declaration
that unionization had a demoraliz
ing effect upon industry, they i
struck a ten spot which ought rea
sonably enough to demolish Gomp
ers the capitalist politician. :
As far as Gompers is concerned
the Danbury Hatters decision can- -
jiot be used against Hughes. He i
lias upheld the law passed by Con
gress and a law which manifestly
enough was considered excellent by
him as well as many laborites.
There is no reason to think that
had Wilson been elevated to the
Supreme Bench from Princeton Uni
versity, instead of having to play
politics, his decision would not have
been identical with Hughes.
Wilson’s viewpoint as a college
president, removed from the influ
ence of the madding crowd and 'the
especially madding political crowd,
■was almost identical with that ot
Hughes: just as reactionary, just as
narrow and just as conventional
and respectable as the republican
candidate. And there is no reason
■whatever to believe that the high
minded nonsense concerning the re
lations which should exist between
capital and labor to which Hughes
is now giving utterance, is not
marking the different pronuncia
inento which would he given by the
politician to that which is voiced in
1 He reactionary atmosphere of a
Supreme Bench.
For Hughes is nothing if not a
man of the Wilson type. They are
both highly respectable men. They
are both men who have conformed
to all the requirements of public
usage, public habit, public form.
Hughes even when on the Supreme
Bench supported the minority de
cision in the Kansas Mack list law,
whereby a man could not he dis
charged because of bis being a
union man. And his attitude in the
Danbury Hatters easy In the attitude
■would have be: I :: ■ 1 " ti;ne
tenlhs of the capita! 1m judges, de
mocrat or republican alike.
The decision was in effect an in
terpretation of tiie lavs.
Now Gompers has refused to re
cognize the class distinctions that
; re easily recognizable in the in
stitutions of this later day demo
cracy. And for that reason lie may
mil retort upon the republicans that
if Hughes interpreted the law when
I i labor’s disadvantage in the Dan
bury Hatters case, he certainly did
not interpret the law when to Ca
5r ? nl':. disadvantage in the Standard
Oil and Tobacco trust cases.
Therein there was no question
of personal guilt; yet the very men
who refused to interpret the law,’
but amended it instead, showed a
complete familiarity with the lawless
and criminal methods of both corpo
rations as trusts in restraint ot
t rade.
Yet there are clauses in that Sher
man Act which were in full force
long before the Clayton bill was
signed, which would have enabled
Wilson to amend the wrong ’done
by that Supreme Court decision, but
which he never did and could never
expect to do.
Gompers brings his own politics
to bear in directing the matters ot
the Federation of which he is pre
sident, but he refuses to allow the
rank and file to act similarly.
He lias been so hard pressed of
late to combat the ideas of socialist
politicians, which ought not to be so
difficult a matter, that he has be
gun to flirt with the anarchist views
of society and certainly to sustain
their position as to working class
political action.
Anything that comes from a ca
pitalist party linding favor in the
jompere eye, comeg therefore as on
t silver platter and beyond price;
he inconsistency of his actions be
ng constantly displayed in his every
tow and then breaking a lance in
he cause of a favorite.
To him now Wilson and the de
nocrats represent the ideal political
undulates, notwithstanding the fact
hat it was democracy that fought
lardest and longest against the
'hild Labor Bill. And when the
■epublicans “come back” with a reci
al of Wilson's Princeton break
igainst labor. Gompers at least has
10 suitable answer to make. Wil
;on’s discovery of a New Freedom is
i comparatively recent one. He at
10 time was a man anything else
>ut rigidly conservative and aloof
rom real sentiments of democracy.
Ihat was why he was “discovered
is the ideal candidate by Colonel
larvey, even when the reactionists
vere playing with Alton B. Parker.
His complete change of front be
gins with his taste of office as Gov
ernor of New Jersey. Then unions
lid not seem so demoralizing when
hey gave hint their votes, nor did
he backward races seem all so
laekward when they aided him to
jffice so that he could experiment
with his up-lift ideas.
The main reason why it is highly
Improbable that Hughes will ever
ittain to the liberal policies towards
labor which marked the friendly ad
ministration of President Wilson is
not on account of any inherent
lualities which distinguish one man
from the other. On the contrary
their stars have followed paths
through the Heavens almost identi
cal as to social environment, an 1
only when they enter the realm of
politics are their ways apart.
For Wilson is a member, and be
cause a southerner a hereditary
member, of a party which in the
evolution of things has come to
identify itself with Little Business
and competition as against tlie re
publican identification with l.'g
Business and financial aid industri
al privilege.
To prolong their hold upon the
political power, democracy associa
tes itself in a conservative way with
labor so that labor may help out
little business in its struggle against
Big Business. Where democracy is
so strong that it can do without
labor's help as in the south where
JemoiTiicy is the faith of the fath
ers, it repudiates any such an Alli
uice. It opposes child labor laws:
t allies itself with reactoinary
t:. a administrations and associates
tiself with the privileged develop
ment of big business in its textile
at, steel and iron business in the
ninny south.
Gompers is provided with the
•of of catspaw by the shrewder
callers of tlie party, and when he
»ets his paws scorched in pulling
he democratic chestnuts from the
lire it is to laugh.
