Till: TEST.
While ilie Adamson law is now
finding its way into the Supreme
t’ourt win-re it is still under con
sideration. it is not without instruc
tive interest to note that the action
of Judge iiock of the Circuit Court
who declared it unconstitutional is
still being criticized.
Hook it will be recollected had a
test case submitted to him and with
out any delay de< lared the law un
constitutional. lit admitted that he
was not rendering this decison
upon law or precedent, but in order
that the case might tie brought to
the Supreme Court tor its final
test without delay.
Thereupon the question is asked
how it is that Hook did not de
clare the law constitutional and
leave the onus of an appeal against
that decision to the railroads in
stead <if tiu government. And it is
ther upon alleged that this little
inei.lei,-. reveals the industrial bias
of the learned judge.
Come to examine the preposition
it surely does.

■Hi’:. <;. i ,.i . ..y is tin- leak prone* and
i* i ii-' is remarkable tii.it while
that inijuiry in nut-without sum.
‘•l.a'iow of s nsiition it gets nowhere,
it a person really wants to bur>
ol.j* rtionabie matter, the most
* ill. lent means, is surely a probe
or inquiry or investigation. First
i»v> stigati and then do nothing,
that is tin* slogan of modern poli
it is almost pathetic to look back
. i'li sweetening memory upon the
probes of the past. There was the
Money trust probe by the famous }
I’ujo committee. Its records are
buried deep with the archives of
another day. There was the Lobby
investigation which discovered sen
sation upon sensation and succumb
ed before a popular apathy when
the interest waned with the waning
novelty of the probe. There was the
industrial relations probe which
reached planes of humanitarianism
undreamt of theretofore in political
philosophy—all gone, things of the
past and hardly enough to occa
sion tears from the depths of some
divine despair.
There was unusual vigor in the
leak probe. It opened visions ot
scandal and graft. It pictured high
officials profitting by the secrets of
the nations. It visioned the chicane
of financial thimblerig in the higher
politics and it blest the nation with
a week's sensation.
The public stood agape as the na
tion washed its dirty linen, itut the
exposures were such that the infi
nite interest became finite indeed,
and waned and languished while
the distant war alarms began to
sounds
Yet withal,
every social
next sensation
this is the fate of
activity. Comes the
and the older palls,
with none so poor as how to do it
reverence for even a fleeting second.
l\ \I U ZK\I.\M>.
There was a time when every
pseudo-socialist made a trip to Nee*
Zealand and wrote back letters to
•he radical papers telling how muc'i j
better things were done there. The? j
depicted a paradise for labor, but
that was because they did no labor ;
themselves. They little knew anu
failed completely to observe that 1
under the aegis of eleemosynary re
form the powers that be therein i
were building up a system which
would throttle labor completely.
What was incomplete before the j
war has been completed since the j
■war. In the wave of patriotism the j
workers are bereft of every semb-1
lance of freedom. And the war is \
justification for a merciless and i
I ruthless exploitation of labor, is
used to emasculate the last vestige
of rights which the unions and in
dividual workers possess and com
pelled the slavery of the individual
to be an accomplished fact. They
are uot quoting New Zealand today
—even in the .Milwaukee Leader.
IX A SAD IM.K.HT.
As every one knows the long
i shoremen in Seattle settled their !
' strike. Kveryone does not know i
how it was settled and few are like- 1
ly ever to know, much more than !
! that it was settled merely as a gloss ;
| to shine up the faded defeat to i
: which the workers were subjected.1
Vet the one lesson of it all seems
to have been lost upon the work- i
• ■rs and that is the reason why the
strike was lost. There was no in
dustrial solidarity. The union dock
- rs struck. but the union sailors
at: 1 the union warehousemen and
the union trainmen remained at
w< rk. Tin y collaborated with stabs
to aid in the work of strike breaking
and the work was successful. No
strike can win under such conditions
it employers so determine, not in
a thousand years. This grim hum
bug, too. must still go on. and the '
workers peddle to themselves about
their strength when they have no
power at all. It is laughter for the
Gods indeed, but bitter and tragic!
tears for mortals.
PKWH.ING.
The most cheering subject one
notes, editorially to be scanned in
the socialist impels is that wherein
an effort is made to explain why it
was thgse two million votes did not
materialize. It is certainly very in
teresting to observe that one ‘'lead
ing'' organ blames the scattering
votes which proved defective and 1
went towards Wilson or Hughes ■
bei ause of the former's stand on the !
Adamson bill or the war. or because I
the latter -was supposed to he pro-!
German. That is the burden of a j
long complaint in the Milwaukee j
Leader and as usual the ignorant
workers get called down good and
plenty.
In point of fact the insincerity ot
su It extravagant claims are wholly
ignored. It is passed over In silence
that most of these politicans suffer
ed from either autohvpnotism or
dense ignorance of the actual poli
tical situation.
There should be at least a compe- I
tent knowledge at the socialist head
quarters of the socialist vote, and
aping the claims of capitalist par
ties in weird extravagance so that
the unitiated may follow the crowd
is the poorest kind of socialist tac- !
tics. It is clue to the fact that the
party is bourgeois all the way thru. [
It is essentially bourgeois in its I
methods of vote seeking and vote I
claiming and vote grabbing *nd In
endeavoring to get the votes any j
way, only get them. The socialist I
vote to he effective must he primar
ily socialist. And secondly it must
lease all its claims on the bed rock
of fact. Its progress may lee slower
that way, but it will be surer. It is
an impossible situation when the
leaders claim a sufficiency for all
purposes in their own knowledge ot
social questions, and cover up the i
ignorance of the rank and file, pro
vided the rank and file follow their
leadership.
There was nothing to be lost by
admitting that socialists were being
tried in the recent election as never
before. Those who had followed
idly the party principles and ac
cepted the party theories superficial
ly were subjected to a severe test
in the call of their national senti
ments or their desire to oppose
Hughes the opponent of the eight
hour day. Pacificists who dreaded
war and fell for the stuff that the
democrats peddled to the effect that
Wilson kept them out of it, were
vhether socialistically inclined j
>r not ready to back j
Wilson. And others ’With
similar socialistic notions supported
Hughes for similarly superficial
reasons. The party was to be
purged rather than filled with soma
more middle class reformists. That
was obvious. And it was a good
thing. ■
