An exchange that is here greatly |
appreciated charges the Industrial
Worker in quite a lengthy article
on the evils of such conduct, in
garblii.c the news of the report ot
the trip of the delegates of the A.
F. of L. from the Baltimore eonven-,
tion to Washington D, C.. which was
reported in this paper as a junkett
jng" trip and takes particular ex
ception to the published report that
,1.. <ul. gates after lister.in? to an
ilv” fn.tr the Presi
dent enjoyed a “sumptlous repast"
which was i harged up to travelling
expenses.
The paper < riti. izir.g ns says that
no such report in those terms ever
was sent, and because every paper
in Alaska r.-. ived it quite differ
ently to the manner published in the
Worker if u.-.s a clear case ot mis
representation.
Apparently the Pioneer lives un
der the notiott that all is business at
these congresses anil lias never
heard of the high jinks that distin
guished the gat tie ring in a variety of
< ities .report.- of which make the re
port publish- ! in the Worker like
two cents.
In the New York People of De
cember ic to which the Pioneer is
r,.•. rr• -1:. w- discover a report by
Boris K-ii.stein concerning the
transai tiot.s of this convention and
• i - o after
j....... -I'SSM'ii during the first week.
the delegates, their wives, etc., had
mor- than th' usual opporutnity tor
having a gold time attending ail
i .mis of banquets, entertainments,
theater parties, etc. Even prize
t: gb.t s were not omitted from the
program.”
Th l’ionc.-r says that this paper
- an avnw.d partizan of that me
thod of organizing labor into politi
, ;d bodies as represented by the
Industrial Workers of the World.
This is very interesting news in
deed! It is funny that we have
n.-v r yet heard of such a method
of organizing labor into political
bodies as the Pioneer editor sug
gests. although the Western Federa
tion of Miners was at one time the
Mining Department of the T. W. W.
But the description is grotesque
enough to be set down r.itb.-r to the
misunderstanding rather than any
intentional misrepresentation of this
paper's position.
The Industrial Worker is published
by a local of the Western Federa
tion of Miners which recently has
become the International i'nion of
Miners Mtllmen and Smelter Work
ers It is organized along industrial
lines, and that as opposed to craft
lines to which the majority of
unions in the American Federation
Labor still adhere. The Inter
national I'nion of Miner-. Millmen
■ ind Smelter Workers although its
structure is radically different to the
majority of organizations in the A.
F. of I-. is nevertheless affiliated
with it.
For good or tor evil the organi
zation has no present time connec
tion with the I. W. YV'.. nor has this
paper.
The editor of the Pioneer is an
accomplished printer as well as
writer, anil wo have no doubt on
act ount of his very sympathetic views
is a member of the typographical
union. He would understand the
position of industrial unionism, as
advocated by this paper, if Ills orga
nization was to absorb the pressmen
the stereotypers, the engravers and
all the great crafts which go to
make up a compact plant in the mo
dern printing industry.
In this way efficiency as well as
solidarity of the workers is brought
about. Shop control would be more
easily secured. And just as neces
sary, a very large number of sala
ried labor officials would be eli
minated and control of the organza
tion centered in an elective execu
f tive staff which could administer
the needs of the industry and see
that when one was iu trouble the
telp clue by all was not confined to
nere sympathy.
However we are not going to al
ege that the Pioneer's point is not
veil taken on this Question of
garbling news. Nor are we going
o pretend that labor and socialist
mblii ations a^e not sometimes given '
o writing articles with a decided j
partizan cast of thought. But we i
10 say that it is done so seldom,
hat compared to the suggestions1
it" falsehood through the suppres- !
lion of the truth in contemporary j
apitalist publications, the whole is1
•eally negligible. So unfair are
:hese suppressions that the Industrl- 1
11 Worker, because the access to
he facts cannot be had by ordl- 1
nary methods o'" news gathering, is
compelled to secure a labor corres
pondent whose work is exclusively
devoted to labor and general work
ing class matters, in addition to the'
services of our ordinary news cor
respondent.
It was utterly impossible, outside
the labor papers, for example to get
the facts concerning th>- Everett
trouble, and the trouhles In various
strike zones are as a rule so grossly
one sided that when one publishesthe
account as seen through the views
of the west * rn labor press corres
pondents it is considered faking
pure and simple by those who know
no better.
Another instance; Pearson's Ma
gazine was barred through the Ca
nadian mails and prohibited in the
Dominion of Canada. That was
wired all over the country. It was
followed up by vigorous denuncia
tions of the Dominion government
h. a us* tin latter was afraid to face
the truth. It is easy to indulge in
long distance criticism.
But what press association outside
ii. labor correspondents advised
that In-cause of criticisms of Joint
W'anamaker's department store
news stands were shut to the same
magazine in one of the leading ci
ties of Free America. The maga
zine had exposed the wages paid in
department stores .and that sufficed
to justify its exclusion from sub
way news stands.
The Pioneer is uniformly a fair
paper. It has been uniformly sym
pathetic on labor questions. Its
criticism of the Compensation Act
was the ablest published in any
paper in tHe territory. Yet when it
says that this paper has little sym
pathy with the labor union move
ment. it sadly errs. That President
Sam Gompers. dragging a labor
vote from pillar to post and from
convention to convention, writing
eleventh hour urgings to vote for
one who stands committed to foist
anti-strike legislation upon the na
tion. and to leave labor helpless
and prone before organized capital
is an edifying spectacle, we deny. It
is merely humiliating labor which
is powerful enough, if it would by
industrial unionism and solidarity
lean upon its own known strength,
to depend upon itseif.
Criticism of junketting trips, feast
ing at conventions which has to be
supported by famine on the jolt, is
not commendable even though it is
resided over by civic, ecclesiastics
and political dignitaries.
it is hoped that the Pioneer will
not find these views tainted with
fanaticism. That there is no poss
ible compromise between falsehood
and error, between reaction and pro
| gress, between sound tactics and use
, less, fatuous, jaw-working futility
‘ is not a fanatical attitude. Then
may tie a mean in all things, hut ir
questions of this kind, the alterna
five between craft unionism and in
dustria unionism, there can be nt
; hesitancy without being lost.
