Objection is raised from time to
time that Labor papers are prone
to take too serious a view of life
and that their articles are almost
always couched in terms bordering
upon pessimism, as it the lighter
side of life did not appeal to the
labor movement at all.
It may be granted that the charge
is in part true. The labor move
ment does take a serious view of life
and there is little enough in the
average worker’s existence to in
duce him to behold things through
rose colored glasses. Lite is tor the
most part a matter of sleep and
work or hunting work, and this mono
tony is to be little varied by the pur
suit of pleasure.
Labor papers might descant upon
the higher things of life: move to
an ethereal plane where such high
browed subjects as music and the
drama and art are the topic* of
esthetic and cultured intellectual
ity, but it would be the merest at
IVetation upon Labor's part tor the
plain and lamentable truth is that
we have neither the leisure nor op
portunity to cultivate these things.
It is true that every now and
then from out the workers arises a
master singer, a novelist or a poet
with words that burn and fiiied with
thoughts that breathe, hut that may
not disguist the fact that for the
vm.t majority the realm of culture
i far removed from attainment by
tie workers. It first of all premises
a leisure which is not to he enioyed
the toilers, and it is part of the
mi ■ .11 of the labor movement to see
. that it is.

other extreme to corruption, degra

I jclcr pursuits which have been
identified with intellectual progress
in evert age. Certainly Greece is a
notable example of the truth of
that : a slave holdii i d< mo r- < > the

has been said in metaphysics and in
philosophy as such to the highest
possible standard. I h ■ arm nf
Plato and of Aristotl • stand for the
ultima thulc of metaphysical investi
gation.
The chief complaint is that the
workers have no such leisure. They
ire chained to their tasks. Kionomie
in-, i ssity drives them to their toil
with unvarying monotony and their
lives have been lightened of no load
by reason of the iinmeli. technical
progn s which human beings have
made throughout the ages.

l ert Oil.
Their conclusions on t it is head
have driven home the need of more
leisure for the workers. The pur
pose of the labor movement lias been
to consider labor conditions as thev
arc and discover why they are amt
to organize for their improvement.
They have discovered that they
are as they are because of the fact
I bad they are exploited. Not be
cause they are thriftless, or disso
lute, or lazy; but because they are
mulcted of three fourths and more
of the product of their labor when
at work; because they have to work
all day to provide profits for another
who owns the means whereby they
can apply tlieir labor; because they
must make their labor power pro
duce in values more than it cost,
which surplus values will be an
nexed by the boss who pays them
that cost in order that they can re
produce the labor power which is
so profitable to him. Accordingly
the labor movement conscious or un
conscious of these facts proposes to
end them and to end them through
organization for that purpose.
It is a serious matter; it der.lfl
little enough with the lighter side
of things. It does not shirk the dark
and the sordid and the miserable.
You cannot move chains silently,
and the shackles of the workers
may not be considered link by link
without their rattle being heard.
The class struggle is not a bath of
rose water and what poetry there
is in it, what drama there is in it.
is tragedy itself .
The jests within the movement
are immense and titanic, laughter
of the gods which is accompanied
by lightnings and thunder peals.
For all that, and despite the dark
ness that may now enshroud our
views, there is at the end of till thc
great white and cheering light if
industrial freedom. There is a tint
upon the horizon which is earnesT ot
a nightless day that is about to
dawn, and the labor movement is
! the only one that is built solidly
upon faith in human nature. In
human progress and in Man Him
1 self.
I It is the only movement that bases
its claims to recognition not upon
the supernatural but upon the logl
j cal certainty of cause and effect. U
j r< cognizes no obstacle to its path
but Ignorance and asks for no Ally
| but Truth. Its pulse beats to a
.trust in the human race and the be
lief in the brotherhood of man.
It. for that reason, is the one
soundly optimistic movement in the
world today. In organization, in so
lidarity. in unity there* is the power
which will free the working classes
and establish a feign upon earth
when there will ho no classes nor
distinct and hostile races hut just
men plain men.
The labor movent lit is founded
j upon the realities not the mysticisms
of life ; to the workers its idealism
j is the only reality worth while, and
ii is to attain the things that the
workers are now denied that it am
bitiously, confidently and with death
less faith sets out to attain..
These are serious objects worthy
, of the highest effort and such that
| they may not be accomplished with
out effort. The labor movement at
; lords all workers the means tor un
iting. directing and intelligently or
I ganizing that effort. It remains
I with the workers themselves to say
I how soon that the movement will
, he crowned with success. That
j c rown will not be placed upon the
I brow of Labor by hands that have
: nincb no effort nor by hearts that
|„iv. felt no faith in the justice ol

the worki rs enjoy good books,

’nurh as any. Hut they have not the
time nor the opportunity for the af
fectation that assumes to talk art
and to discuss art and which has
about as much appreciation and un
derstanding of art as the man In
the moon.
They tire the actors In the world

ment. and they and their adieus

deathless records of human progress

will come when leisure too will be
theirs, leisure and fullness of life
which is liberty; unalloyed the un
certainty of an exploited struggle
and the cruel insecurity of a mast

be the enjoyable service of fulfilled
happiness! To that end Labor di
rects itself.
