When the peace talk was at its
height during the latter days of De
cember the press and magazines
were full of i . And running through
the skein of rot that was peddled
on the subject. was the one red
thread which all referred to indi
rectly or direct but always as it
were uppermost in their minds.
What was dreaded worse than
juenc-es Oi war
was a revolution, and innumerable
supporters of peace advoactrd it
then wiio before had been the most
bellicose of jingoists because tie;,
sav or imagined they saw Ked Ke
volition of maddened workers r.s
ing agait ' the great forces which
ruled the l a'ions at war.
Ih-r. v.as ii something that o vi
sioned more misgiving than fea:s
of defeat or dread of conoues'.
Those who had approved tire war
and wallowed in the enormous pro
fits from the squandered wealth of
the nations feared for their hoard.
The wild dream of the lust for con
ijuest. the drunken visions oi more
and more I'ov,. r failed to exorcise
the fears that came to share their
imagining- So it was that the war
mad ■ r fought, but
Hilo some loin miser bending o'er
his stor
Counts of his treasures—counts re
counts recounts it ore
Hoard alter hoard his rising rap
tures swell
Yet still lie sighs for hoards are
wanting still—
fattened while the nations bled mtl
now they fear the final reckoning
No wonder the peace agitation found
some support in unlooked for places
The fear of revoution like as not
will stifle the lust for profits and
power eventually.
FAVORS I.Alton.
From time to time we have to
animadvert to the essentially class
nature of so many courts decisions
that from the guilt of one we have
come to determine guilti
ness to all. But there
are exceptions and notable
ones. Such an exception is that
handed down by 111■ ■ federal Circuit
Court of Appeals in Chicago quite
recently.
It is from the iahorile’s point oi
view quite important. It legalizes
peaceful picketting which is so often
forbidden through restraining orders
of lower courts.
This decision reversed in fact that
opinion of the Illinois Federal Dis
trict Court which enjoined piokett
ing at the plant of the American
Steel Foundries in Granite City
till.).
The decision said: “In pursuit ol
a lawful purpose to secure a raise
in wages picketting may be em
ployed .... The lawfulness of
picketting is not to be tested by the
interference which it may cause the
employer's business.’’
WAR’S KTlyl'KTTK.
There’s a subtlety anout the war’s
otiquette that has yet to be master
ed by common folks who are not
trained in military jurisprudence
or polity.
Tt will be recalled that a Captain
Fryatt of the British steamship
Brussels who rammed and sank a
German submarine was later captur
ed and executed for his action. An
other captain did the same thing,
and he too was taken prisoner
when another U boat sank his
steamer. the Caledonia. Captain
Blaikie, that is the name of the Ca
ledonia skipper was not executed by
the Germans but treated as a pri
soner of war. The reason was that
the Calidonia carried arms. The
armed merchantman is considered
in reality a cruiser, and the officers
in trying to sink a submarine were
doing their duty. It is a very nice
point indeed.
CHANXiE O! TITLE.
The organization known as the
Western Federation of Miners will
hereafter be known as the Interna
tional Union of Miners, Millmen
and Smelter Workers. The change
was adopted at the last convention
and approved by a referendum vote,
the change being ratified by the
A. F. of L. with which the Western
Federation oi Miners Is affiliated.
The change was brought about for
obvious reasons. It is now taking
in metalliferous miners of the North
and the East and the South as well
as the West. There are locals in
Ontario, in New Jersey and in Ten
nessee. And hence to a certain ex
tent the old appelation did not fit
in. There could be really nothing
urged against the change of title in
itself except that around the West
ern Federation of Miners there was
centered a sentiment which was
born of the years of struggle for
better working conditions in the
lives of the metal miners.
Hut a name is nothing. This or
ganization must be Judged by its ef
ficiency and not merely efficiency ot
ideals but by actual accomplish
ments. In the labor moiement it is
certainly deeds and not words that
count.
The vitality of a labor organiza
tion usually, it is a prosaic fact, is
in direct proportion to the benefits
which it confers upon its member
ship. We may idealize matters un
| til we are black in the face, but
i labor organizations to exist and to
i prosper must for the members de
! liver the goods. And that is why
; labor organizations are up against
; a much harder proposition than any
i others. The workers are willing
' enough to come in when the orga
| nization is powerful and can force
i oncessions. Then all want to climb
|on tht band wagon. But the work
i ers will not seem to be ready to re
i i ognize the fact that by their join
I ing iti the organization the solidar
II \ Willi 11 « cl 11 I l lllllftft III tnc
i labor world can be brought about.
There is, for that reason, a con
! stant necessity of labor unions ad
| justing themselves to actual condi
i lions. It is impracticable that the
aims or the ideals not adjusted to
j tlie facts be set beyond the power
of accomplisment. Those things,
whether we admit it or not. lead to
disappointment, and to dissatisfac
tion and ultimate disintegration.
However much we may envy the
type of radicalism that leaps away
beyond the slower march of the rest
of us, it has to be admitted that for
accomplishment of the purposes ol
the movement that is ratuous policy.
A union can advance and progress
not just as fast as its most enlight
ened leaders, but rather as fast a.
its rank and file are willing to suit
their pace. The ultra radicalism,
that would force progress upon un
willing and ignorant steps is in
reality the impatience of reaction
taking on that particular guise. Sc
it is that whatever may be thought
of the wisdom of the changes which
have taken place in the name or in
the structure of the Western Fede
ration of Miners, we can sincerel>
and well believe that they art
taken with the purposeful end ol
adjusting the labor organization tc
the immediate conditions within the
labor movement.
it is well that we fairly realize
this. And it will be found that not
in tumult and in shouting, but b>
deed and determination advances
are achieved and progress made.
There is very little poetry in the
labor movement. There is much
sordid prose. There is immense cal
for educational work. But ever}
step taken on impulse and not upoi
thoughtful deliberation is like as not
to precipitate the whole into an in
ferno of do-nothingism or the chaos
of much empty vaporizings.
The main essential today as yest
erday and the day before yesterda}
as well as tomorrow and the da}
after tomorrow is the essential ol
working class education. We need
iew personal gods in the labor move
ment; we need less mental theologx.
The rank and file educating them
selves by the experience on the job
will eventually make their own con
clusions therefrom. conclusions
which will lead, too. eventually to
the wisest and the most prudent
policies likely to make for success.
