THE OX KNOWETH ITS OWNER.
From the Alaska Times of Cor
dova, dated March 25, and under the
caption “In3idc History of Juneau
Primary” a writer among other
things has this racy description of
the part played by the Gastineau
company:
“The Gastinoau company threw
Itself into the local fight with all its
customary vigor. The men were
horded in squads from the mine and
mill and ushered into automobiles,
given a ticket, rushed to the voting
place in Juneau where they were
herded up to the ballot box, voted,
and herded back to the auto and
back to the mill and mine again.
About twenty autos wore engaged in
this work and there was a continual
String of them coming and going be
tween Thane and Juneau all after
noon at top speed. Not one in ten
or the men had over heard that
there was going to be any kind of an'
election; not one in twenty knew
what the election was about; not one
in twenty saw more than one ticket
and would know what either was it
they did soe it. Neither tf the locai
papers dare say a word about the
affair, but the public nerve is atingle
* with excitement over what has oc
curred, because they realize that the
result of the performsnco is likeiy
to have a far-reaching and last ef
fete.”
Now that’s a story that has been
written before with the staging dace
in a different locality. It is the cor
poration with the big “C”. bulldozing
its employees into voting as the
corporation thinks they'Should vote
and not as the employees may
think they ought to veto.
Even Nome had its delightful ex
perience in other days in the colored
ballot, which was handed the wage
slave to vote by the foreman who
conducted the election in tha' pre
cinct at Ills own sweet will.
But the most interesting portion
of that article is the reference to • he
Juneau papers which dare not men
tion a word about it.
About the highest minded bunch
of journalism printed and published
in Alaska with a tone almost as
scholarly and mincing as the leader
of the party it supports, is the
Juneau Empire. And surely one
would imagine that it would have
thought fit in the Interest of that
pure and highminded political idoai
which it receives direct from on
High at Washington to have de
nounced this very outrageous prcce-1
dure.
But, the ox knowth Its owner ?.nd .
the ass its master's crib, and the ,
Empire likely enough knows upon i
which side and by whom its bread is
buttered.
But when facts such as these have
to meander outside the circulation
of a paper to discover some sort
of hearing, it unquestionably shows
that there must be something rotter,
and very putrid indeed in the news
papers which have such a fine out
ward seeming and which pronounce j
such elevated conceptions as t„ men i
and institutions here below.
We dont mean to insinuate that j
the organs in Juneau are the sole
journalistic instruments which pipe
that lonely anthem of corporation
dominance. No, by the Gods, their
name is legion. We believe that it
is the chiefest characteristic of the
capitalist press throughout the j
world, and quite a few which affect!
an independence of expression have |
within their editorial and mangeriefl
'' Holy of Holies a list of men and in
stitutions and influences which they
dare not criticize.
The capital of Alaska is so situat
ed that all who reside there come di- j
roetty under the influence of the big
mining corporations. They are the
companies which keep up the town.
They may fatten off the labor power
which is employed in the mines, but
they control that labor power. Ana |
they also directly and indirectly
'control the business concerns which
live upon these industrial activities.
Tho frown or the favor of a mining
corporation is no idle thing in
Juneau. It is no Idle thing anywhere.
It is no idle thing in Nome. They
control the means whereby the
business men live, move and have
their being.
It is not moanlnglcss thing for a
business house whether a newspaper
or a drug store or a hotel or a gro
cery or a clothing store if it incur
the displeasure of the management
of the Gastineau or the Tread
well.
They have indeed to line up just
as have the men from the mine and
the mill to line up at the republican
primary and vote, damn them, as
they are told to vote.
Not only that, but hero wo have
brought home to us the vital need
Of an industrial as well as a political
emancipation. Tou can’t have poli
tical freemen where thoy have to
endure the pale dread of Industrial
fear within their hearts. You can’t
begin to think a community enjoys
any sort of independence when they
dare not repeat aloud or in the
newspaper what happened and why.
You cannot have political freedom
in the real snnae of the word if an
industrial power greater than the
j law of the land, shall bo able to say
to men vote thus, and they have to
vote that way.
There’s not a living man but
doesn’t know that this is the case,
and yet it’s dollars to doughnuts the
same papers that were afraid to
mention the facts as to the republi
can primaries tin Juneau will be
loudest in writing elegant apo
strophes to tho Spirit of ’76 when
the Fourth of July comes around,
and will refer with a reverence and
respect and veneration to the De
claration of Independence and urge
in high flown periods that the high
est, noblest and worthiest efforts of
citizenship can be best directed to
wards upholding the letter and the
spirit of that most venerable instru*
ment. But, where' is corporation do
minance entering into the vitals of
the social life, taking away every
semblance of personal liberty and
upon its ruins establishing an in
dustrial serfdom, where In the world
can there be any such thing as free
dom?
We noted an elaborate eulogy of
the Treadwell published the other
day in the Empire. It was written
by the manager and what he paid it
he did pay for its insertion, we dont
know. It mentioned all kinds of
benefleient work that had been done
to promote the happiness and wel
fare of the employees. It read like a
story. But there was one line that
most Impressed this paper. That was
to the effect that “a careful record
is kept of all employees”.
You bet there is. They dont move
but it’s reported; thoy dont utter a
word of agitation but it is told upon
them; they never crticize or shirk
or rest or take a “smoke-O” but it is
informed upon them.
It’s a lovely condition that makes
for welfare work and makes for the
emasculation of every semblance of
personal freedom at the same time,
it’s a high price to pay for a job.
it’s not worth it. And if anything
shows the vital need of real union- ■
Ism in Juneau it is just that such ,
conditions prevail. i
The Treadwell has been eulogized i
also in the Junoau Post. And for ]
approximately tho same reason as j
the manager covered himself with
the fulsome glory of self-praise. The i
Post explained that that was why j
there was no union in Juneau and \
in so many words none was wanted, i
But the Post-man did not know i
ivhat unionism really moans. What 1
tio said only showed its more vital
necessity. It is when men begin
tiugging their chain that union agi
tation muBt above all things be kept ■
alive and otherwise the community
will stagnate into that hopeless
l
norass where the "newspapers dare
lot say a word about It”.
tt is an unthinkable proposition
hat any community could sink lower
—when men have to ask for work in
lated breath and whispering humble
ioss, when the public needs speak
n hushed voice and sacred under*
ones "atinglo with excitemont”,
when no man dare call his soul his
iwn much more his body, when the
newspapers dare not say a worn
ibout it, then surely above all times
is unionism, real unionism, needed
in any camp and any community.
