A lot of perplexed advisers ap
pear to lie the editors ot labor pa
pers. and by latter papers we in
i lude tin- soeialis’ ores.-, in ibis' mat
ter of war.
The attitude ul-rrs from frankly
being i;i support of the vr.r with
<; • r. = 11 j to dovnrigh' opposition.
•■Vderatioi ni Labor
papers openly announce their sup
port. reluctant it mat be. but none
the P ss the ir definite support of the
war. "Solidarity'' published by the
Industrial Workers of the World
frankly in turn takes a negative
view wholly. It insists upon the
workers organizing no matter what
conditions may transpire. In an
editorial it quotes from an article in
the New Republic. wherein the
writer in the latter says “if war
comes. American labor will he ex
pect'd t< meet the requirements ot
national service. Whether it will
enter tlti-' service through voluntary
< •o-oper.it i.. :i with the government
on terms of iis own making, or
will wait to be command' trod on
the government's own terms, is a
question which it must decide im
mediate! or not at all. Unless
labor is ion-sighted there is dang-r
that standards which it has taken
generations to establish may be
swept away, as they have been in
Kngland by the ostensible require
ments of military nec ssity." The
Kditor of Solidarity considers the
suggestion worthy ot consideration
at tliis time.
While the industrialist writer
quite ably shows why this is the
wisest course, it is not likely that
his reasons (lift r fundamentally
from the reasons which really ulti
ma' the leaders of the American
V lb-ration of Labor, even if given
'.vit 1.1 more frankness.
Only the socialist editors, or the
majority of them, insist for the most
part in opposing war. agitating
against conscription and generally
adopting an attitude of pacificism
which is of the extremist type.
The latter may lie the nobler
vit w, but it is not the view which
will prevail.
The matter of fact realism ot
riie labor movement on ibc economic
field will account for the difference
in attitude of the socialists and the 1
unonists Tin former are by theii
nature pacificists: the latter believe,
in the last analysis in the exercise1
of massed force. Hence as Gaylord |
Wilshire in an article which he
publishes in the columns of Soli
clarity says, “the unionists” i he I
says syndicalists thus adding j
through the additional nomeiicla-j
turn th ■ tendency to confusion of
view instead of effec ting as he doubt
less intended, a clarification of tliej
situation) "the unionists have no j
quarrel with war on account 01 |
war la ir.g force”. Wilshire says .
"he leaves such quarrels with wat J
to the socialists and anarchists, tin
pacificists, the democratic idealists
and those who look upon man as a :
rational animal acting upon matters 1
•dtc-.r having digested and thought;
mt theories propounded by orators !
and editors”.
It is apparent to anyone that the!
government if it ir.te nils to prose- ;
i
c .itc- this war upon the larg-st scale
imaginable: wholesale conscription, j
industrial mobilization, general
confiscation of life and property!
and there is no end to whic h it mat
not reach, the government will sure- i
]y do so, quite regardless of any
opposition of a direct resistance na
ture which any person can offer.
J?nd we know perfectly will that
there is no organization in tbn la
bor world today which can offer i
■any resistance and present such a (
condition of obstinate pacificism i
that it will be able to affect in the ^
slightest degree the decrees of gov ;
ernment on this head. £
That being so, it is not intended f
either by the American Federation
of Labor or by tin* Industrial Work
. trs ot the World, as we observe
| from the quotations above referred
to, to offer any resistance, but to go
! "ith the tide, organizing for in
j dustrial control so that what has
been gained may, during the wat
be held, and what is held as the
ideal end of the movement, after the
war may be additionally gained.
If is a perplexing question wheth
er the labor leaders who have enter
ed heart and soul into the govern
ment operations in the European
war among the European belliger
ents have helped or retarded the la
bor movement. It is a question
whether for example Ctrl Legion 01
the German labor movement of t'ari
Eiebknocht of the revolutionary so
" ialist movement, have advanced
j the cause of labor the more in Ger
! many. it is debated among them
! selves.
In any event, it is to be admit
ted that consider tide argument tan
be urged in favor of the attitude
o: the unionl-'.ts >i whatever brand
tin y be It is idle to speculate hew
uni'Ii is sh.-er common sense and
l1 w much is sheer compromise
i'ubably m i i- will tin 1 consider
able satisfaction in using these ve-y
arguments to be war mad enthusi
asts and to deprecate the enthusiasm
of those who would fanatically sacri
fice themselves in an anti-war agita
tion which would do no good. In
any event if the organized workers
realize, as they needs must, that
the exercise or display of force is
quite sufficient to assure the sue
cesslul carrying out of every plan
of the government to prosecute the
war. with no organization compe
tent to resist such an enforcement
successfully, however distasteful
war may be, the position of the edi
tor of Solidarity when he dc lures
that it would be waste of time to
sacrifice working class interests
for the sake of a few impotent para
des or anti-war demonstrations, is
intelligible.
The socialists wrongly regard war
as a (atelysmic condition, chungii g
over night the economic system
and substituting force as the final
arl.it* r. In point of fact capitalism
exists by reason of force, and war is
as logical a manifestation of capital
ism as any other of the economic
phenomena which the workers sen
around them and which they endea
vor to mold to forward successfully
their designs. Military necessity
differs only in degree from industri
al necessity,, and is merely another
name for the exploitation of tin
workers. That being the case it
why the urgings of the New Re
public look reasonable to Solidarity
That is that the workers having in
an\ event to acquiesce in conditions
as they are. will be well advised tc
waste no time carrying on anti-war '
agitation which will get nowhere i
but rather to organize more ami '
more strongly than ever to control ;
ie job, so that eventually they will
have job control and after the war
be in a stronger instead of a weake; j
position.
It is astonishing how ably the*
British unionists have held job con i
mil during the war. and the de
velopments that took place in the I
war while often meaning the elimi ;
nation of the union concessions have j
been only properly enforced where1
irganized labor was without any j
oreo, had no organization and had
is places substituted by the unor ,
inized women
There are objections to this coil
1 ition of compromise, but their
orce without doubt is blunted by
•eason of the present time lack 01
abor solidarity. The workers are in
10 position to offer a resistance to
he war plans. Neither are the so
ialists. They may not feel inclined
o support them, hut obviously- the
wisest course is to recognize things
s they are. make the best of them
nd continue organizing to still ,
urther strengthen labor. i
