A PROCLAMATION.
Woodrow Wilson is the completes!
master ol phrase lias ever sat in
the White House. And that gilt
IT, charity may cover any number
01 shortcomings. You've simply
got to hand it. to Wilson when it
i.,m to phrase-making, and he has
u greater gift for platitude than
an;, than living in politics today. It
i.i very easy indeed to write anil
speak learnedly and elegantly about
nothing at all if the phrase comes
handy.
Now take this Thanksgiving pro
proclamation <■ I reside tit Wilson,
wherein he urges sympathy and aid
for the stricken people upon whom
•‘the curse at. i terror of war have
fallen."
That certainly minds awfully nice
and kind, it « ■ : !i--s President vi 1
5011 almost at once to the hie net
plane. But it's pure guff; it's all
hunk. And it is a pretty rank one to
get away with, as he will get away
with it.
Truly K d is the Teror and Bitter
is the Curse of the European war.
Black hate has usurped the place of
sanity of opinion and justice and
reason. But where did it fall from?
Does Wilson intend that it falls as
the curse of heaven and the terror
of God fell upon Sodom and Go
morrah.
Moreover, isn't it a fact, and does
not Wilson know that it is a fact,
that this great prosperity we hear
so much about, the immense divid
ends paid by factory and railroad,
by shipper and ’exporter, is due en
tirely to that war. Is it not true as
the truth itself, that the boasted
favor of Heaven that American man
ufacturers are enjoying in the form
of giant profits and cyphered mil
lions, are red with blood "clots from
the very curse and the very terror
that is supposed to excite deprecat
ing sympathy.
There is not anything more ex
cites the contempt of thinking per
son for the hypocrisy of big business
than the efforts of big business
to glut itself upon human misery,
and then express its sympathy with
such wretchedness.
That is what President Wilson is
doing so loftily. He knows, every
one knows, that the war is a bless
ing to the American business man.
Factories that had closed their
doors have been extended, and new
towns have sprung up as if by the
genii's power to create more profits
from the war.
The least any prominent Amer
ican could do is to view this condi
tion with shamed silence. There is
no reason why the horrible state ot
affairs in Europe which have proved
such a blessing in disguise to the
United States, should be exploited
for their miserable side, just after
the prominent democratic politicians
had excluded boosting their fortun
ate side in the United States, as
“Wilson prosperity”.
Moreover to pretend that the war
comes to stricken Europe as by
chance, is a gross misrepresentation,
They clamored for it: men and
women, high and low, boy? and
girls. The nations built them
selves great ..hips and proud armies!
•Science <! voted its discoveries to aid
in the art of destruction! The profit
eers themselves bent all their ener
gies to the preparedness lliatsmooths^
tin, way for the eguquest of markets
and nations! It was all deliberate,
voluntary, conscious It was, pat
forced upon a reluctant people nor
compelled upon a recalcitrant na*
tion. They revelled in their mill- j
tarlsm, and the end of the red P’ths
was the redder hell of terror l»y ua>
and horror by night. They cursed
themsolves!
It is exactly the same path that
the profiteers of ihe United States
are urging upon this nation. They
demand the same battalions and the
same squadrons; they demand
dveaduaughts and machine guns and
howitzers. They seek their place
in the sun. it they have to wipe oil
the standing room every one already
there.
It is here too among the militar
ists and the preparationists a consci
ous, a deliberate and a voluntary
challenge to Uie nations to war and
to conquest and to dominion.
What then would he thought oi
one sympathizing with a people, the
consume.tion of whose desires is
reaped in a murderous war ac a
vengeance ..In from heaven, wh
it is m -rely the logical eulruinati n
of capitalism, red in tooth and claw
in peat as well as in war.
America is paying the price ol
the war and has scant aid to spare
for Europe from among ti.e Amer
ican workers.They art lmrrassed with
the prioi i he war paid by them,
that their employers, munitionists
food gamblers and manufacturers
may he < nriched. The American
worker is paying in full in a dimi
nished part has::.g power of wages,
a decreasing standard of living and
a lower scale of wages. Why then
turn to Europe wholly with sympa
thy and aid. when the workers in
the United States need it just as
well? Four-fifths of the strikers in
Bayonne struck because they half
starved upon their wages from the
richest company in the world. They
had no union, no organization of
any kind. It was a deliberate revolt
upon the workers who could not live
on what they were paid. Yet Stand
ard Oil is piling up larger and larger
profits than ever. Its war contracts
are gigantic. The curse and the
terror of Europe’s war has piled
millions into its coffers. More pros
perity? Surely it is not to be con
cealed by fine phrasing that the
war itself is reflected in the United
States with boundless profits for the
few and further misery for the
many.
A GOOD IDEA.
The idea of organizing the Japan
ese is a prudent one. It should
have been thought of long ago by
the Federation officials. It is more
than likely that when they do under
take it they will begin the wrong
way, and by segregating the Jap
from the American workers.
There is nothing should keep any
worker from joining the rest. They
have all a common interest as wage
workers. It is immaterial whether
their skin is black or red or brown
I or white, they are productive of the
| same power that the employer buys:
! labor power. They have that to sell
; and as sellers of that labor power
j they have everything in common.
It is upon this basis and upon no
other than men should organize
There should be no craft, no raue,
no national distinctions. It l5, Quite
immaterial to the employer whether
he buys white, red or brown labor,
or whether it is black as tin' smoke
of Tophet. What he v.ants is labor
and lie will cheerfully i;> t it where
he gets it cheapest After good
British blood hail hot.;,lit at the
price of endless sacrifice of life, the
victory that gave the Hand to Great
Britain they were thanked, by the
British imperialists who imported
Chinese laborers to operate the
mines. American shippers clamor
ing for a ship subsidy that the “flag?
might wave upon the seven seas had
no hesitation in signing on Chink
crews to man the-"American” ships.
And so on dbwn the line. There
is between all workers as workers
just one thing in common: theii
ability to labor and that is all that
they have got to sell. There is no
reason therefore why they should
not unite. Only leaders who were
interested in maintaining disunion
of the workers, in organized factlon
ism, in the maintenance of race,
strife and animosity, could oppose
it.
MAYOR GILL.
The reported intention to recall
Hi Gill from thes Seattle mayoralty
which movement is headed by the
railroads’ legal tape work. Judge
Burke, shows how impatient of op
position are the rulers of today.
There is no toleration of any sym
pathy or truth telling where such a
radical organization as the I. W. W
is concerned. They understand too
well what that radical association
wants and what it proposes to as
complish.
It is evident that Gill has no time
or sympathy for the I. W. W., but
he has felt himself free to express
the facts as they appeared to him
That would seem a privilege that
needed no recognition at the hands
of Americans. But not so. It is
tolerable about almost anything ex
cept the acute questions which have
been involved in the Everett rumpus
For the Burkes and those upon
whose industrial control they are
parasitic, there can be no possible
tolerance of any effort, to give such
outlaws as the industrialists a
square deal. Burke's viewpoint is
readily understood. lie stands for
the present system in all its details,
lte wants neither reform nor-amend
metn. He wants neither mending
nor ending. It is as it ought to be,
and every agency and every power
and every authority should be used
to maintain it, therefore, as it is.
| Because it is all right for him and
I his, it ought to be and is all right
i for everyone else, and it is the worst
■ possible outrage to attempt any
I agitation wTiich would change it. All
| agitation for reform is bad, but all
I radical agitation like that of the in
I dustrialists is infamous. That is a
i very simple code. It- is old too. It
lias ever been that of those who had.
■ lut is has always been opposed by
the opposite point of vi w. And the
opposite point of view ultimately,
j it is a matter of hard history, al
ways prevailed. Why, is immaterial,
but the radicals and agitators of one
! day were the tories and conserva
tives and reactionists of another. It
