i*rnu< intkukst."
President Compers and Secretary
.Morrison of the American i* adora
tion of Labor have piotested to At
torney-General Gregory that portion
-.,f the Supreme Court's decision on
!Lt Adamson Bill wherein it is pro-;
claimed that the “public interest
limits the employees right to
strike".
Who gave tin employees any right
jo strike any way? That is the cjucs
i joe which in ing answered, also an-;
-ivcrs ilic limitation of the United
States Supreme Court. The eeo- j
»,< , I..igill of employees manifest
ed ! rough tin ir labor organization
;,a ti*’st, last and all tho time
hr on that through which they ;.s
curir and through wihch they ex
, , i i. g i.; to strike.
They asked no by your leave from
any legislature or from 1 gislativt
*;n,;etment. They received no con
■stir at ion til privilege whereby they
eotibl walk off the job individually
or eollecuv. ly. except in so tar as
invtdii’.tar: . ervitude is denounced
!>> .lie constitution and it is certainly
nor in evidence that public interest
or private interest or any oinet in- .
r.rt st whatsoever limits in that j
• Ians* of the constitution the right:
u i* main in servitude of any nature
voluntarily anti voluntarily only.
'{'he public interest may not justi-j
I \ slavery and it may not justify j
a ;i!, g men stay on the job against!
Mu ,r will, Supreme Courts or no j
Supri me Courts, it the workers are
organizid sufficiently strongly to as- ^
ert through their economic might
Mint right.
What we have witnessed in the
cttl. mi nt of the railroad strike
trouble by the passage of the Adam
on law and by the decision uphold-!
ng it oi the 'supreme Court is that,
Ip-re was an economic Question
which was not settled by any data
of ethics but by the simple recogni
tion of the fact that the railroad
men were organized sufficiently
strongly to enforce a strike, and
there remained -then only one way
of avoiding it. by putting the de-j
inamis of tin* employees in the form
id a law whereby it would he bind
ing upon both tlm railroad men and
Muir employers.
The economic power of the work- ,
or.s round for the-first time political
expression, and the significance ot j
that is not at all detracted from by;
reason of the fact that the kept
press throughout the United States
howled against what it called the
dictation of labor and. the humilia
.*ion of Congress.
What we saw there enacted on the
.side of labor has been enacted day j
in and day out by the so-called in
ti rests. Their eoonomii might is re
tlc« ted in almost every law, because j
tbi > are organized to give special ex-;
pression to it. The decision of the j
Supreme Court in favoring the!
Adamson Hill is very interesting as j
au effort to neutralize the forces
which compelled that decision.
li it was believed for one minute
that the railroad brotherhoods
would not strike, we may expect
that the decision would have been
inr different. A number oi similar
laws to that of the Adamson Bill
tuve been declared unconstitutional
already. But, then, there were not
the forces to realize the same condi
tions as were created by law, as in
I he Adamson case.
We see two ways of accomplishing
the ends of the workers. One is the
-direct action of the strike and the
others the indirect means by way of
political action.
Political action, if it can be brought
in, enforced and recognized, is by
far the most palatable to all con
cerned. It avoids friction, struggle,
strife and the many serious conse
quences and serious expenditures
Involved in a strike action. But It
is confronted with the objection
»hat such successful political action
Is as scarce as hen’s teeth. The
Adamson Bill is a solitary example j
In a score of years and more. And
its success was due wholly and sole
ly to the fact that the workers were
completely and solidly organised to
enforce, regardless of the politicians,
their demands upon the economic
field.
Direct, strike action is different,
it has been apparently as frequent
ly unsuccessful as political
action, but it has been far more fre
quently successful also. It. more
over, presupposes many factors
which do not always exist for suc
cess. and its failure is as often as
not due to the iucoherency of the
labor fortes n.'.tl la; ; of solidarity
among them.
The industrial struggle is on. in
effect, between two very powt rful
.'actors in the capitalist tconoiuy,
tin- employers and the employed.
Of late the various interested on
iookers have been concerned over
what tin: term the public interest.
!.tally one side is quite as bad as
tiie oile r in this. While the em
ploye rs have scribes ready to pity
the public, the workers themselves
make interested appeals to the pub
; lie for “sympathy”.
In point of fact there are only
two classes in tlie economic world.
And each of these have an employ
ers or have an employee’s interest
in every class struggle. Those who
are in between are only in between
the two in the befuddled nuts of
the shallow thinkers who are im
posed upon by generalizations.
We all know that this mysterious
entity called the public concerns it
self entirely with the interests ol
employers, and fails completely to
take any cognizance of the rights,
“per contra" of the employees. Be
cause corrupt and parasitic influ
ences have assumed the right to sell
the heritage of the people for a
mess of potage. because they as
sumed the right to place in office
the tools of special interests, be
cause they have bartered the fran
chises and the privileges of the peo
ple to the interested few, they hark
hack mighty late in tlie day to this
theory oi the public interest.
But the public interest does not
concern itself with the vocational
diseases ol the poor nor tlie mutila
tions and slaughter in the slave pens
I This public interest has never ma
i nifested any concern whatever when
I plants c lose down and nfen arc- de
| nied all oportunity of having access
to the means of subsistence. This
, public interest does not show itselt
when men stand in breadlines and
women and children cry for bread
that they may live. This public in
terest never once lias thought it
sufficiently worth while to concern
j itself about avoidable fatalities and
sacrifice of life in the industries.
(Ths public interest lias never felt
i itself stimulated to action by the
hellish industrial conditions that
i everywhere prevail. But it does
land will continue to exercise itself
j especially in legal opinions in the
■ interest of keeping the workers
j c|uiet when conditions drive them to
I revolt.
This public1 interest ts merely a
question of economic organization,
j It will manifest itself in favor or
j the side with tlie greatest solidarity,
j and because the workers have no
1 such solidarity compared to employ*
ers, the dear public and the public
interest shed tears about the in
terests while it is blind to tlie con
cerns and interest of labor.
The condition may be expected
just as long as labor contents it
self with notes of protest to Gre
gory or his successors. But when
labor sees the handwriting on the
wall and organizes and organizes
right to express its power, all things
will become easy or achiement: po
litically and every other way. This
is stern, scientific, demonstratable
social fact.
