CRITICISM.
One can notice that the socialists
themselves are submitting their
party to much more severe criticism
than are any of their opponents. The
mere fact that this is the case, we
may well believe, is somewhat defi
nite proof that criticism is needed.
That the socialist party has made
vote-getting the principal object ot
its existence and that in this respect
it was ready compromise, to make
itself more attractive to middle class
minds, to assume a respectability
and to wear economic frock coats
and to don mental silk hats, are
facts that can hardly be denied.
Placing reform policies in the
platform, they made these reforms
the basis of their existence and in
this respect became, and boasted
that they became “practical men’
_which was their way of euplionis
tically saying that they became prac
tically politicians and that only.
Now socialism and the socialists
are two different things and quite
different categories. Any person
can call himself a socialist and feel
nothing very inconsistent in advo
cating government ownership; in
fact so many have advocated gov
ernment ownership that some of
them have almost persuaded the
thomsplvf-S
that that is socialism.
The consequence has been that the
more conscientious radicals have
withdrawn in disgust from political
action altogether, although they find
in their activities under capitalism,
that some degree of political activ
ity is inevitable. Moreover, we find
that when the advocates of pure and
simple economic or direct action
find themselves confronted with op
position as they generally do. they
discover that they must defend them
selves politcally and with such
weapons as capitalist political con
trol affords them.
To make their position logical,
we would have to agree that when
the capitalist legislatures and the
capitalist officials attempt to crush
them, the legitimate thing to do
would be to apply direct action there
also. But the impractical nature ot
following up the logical conclusion
of such a direct policy is self evid
ent. and it is never done and the
logic of it is quite ignored while
the original policy is persevered in.
Between tlie two extremes, it
would appear to be the more reason
able thing to do to get back to fun
damentals. That is what is now be
ing done by the more farseeing ot
the American socialists. They real
ize that the party must become a
workmen’s party, not a party o(
businessmen; that it must be a re
volutionary party not a reform par
ly. and that the time is gone by
when it has any excuse (or its exist
ence as a vote Retting party.
The railroad brotherhoods asser
tion of power on the economic field
presents an object lesson which It
• hard to get over, and which re
lortfiists pure and simple can by no
mearrt get over.
in .-tihe first place it shows the
primarj necessity of labor organiza
tion m order to express political
power upon the political Held.
But what we do see quite as dear
My is that the political expression
almost failed of materializing first
ly in Congress hv reason of middle
class politics, secondly with the Pre
sident who would have introduced an
anti-strike law would have para
lyzed the economic forces material
izing in the brotherhoods, and third
; iy the whole was jeopardized by the
possible decision of the Supreme
’Court which as is now the custom
managed in rendering a favorable
decision on the Adamson Law to
read in an amendment to the statu
tory enactment by laying emphasis
on the right of public interest to
atop a strike.
Moreover had this railroad strike
gone to a head, the railroads were
prepared to make use of force to
defeat the brotherhoods. The roads
have a well organized army system
of their own. One had the best
equipped armory iu the country anti
maintains in addition its own police
system. All these would have been
let loose to attack striking workers
and the courts would have been
packed with frame-ups. Now we
cannot get away from the costliness
of these expensive prosecutions
and the subtle use which employers
make of it to crush the workers, and
this would indicate that it would he
much more efficient and much more
educational were the workers to
keep even pace and complete connec
tion between their economic organi
zation and the political organization.
The latter should not be scrapped,
for scrapping it leaves the workers
helpless in the event that they are
victimized bv frame-ups.
We observe that many who decry
wholly such socialist political action
by laborites. themselves as a last
resort endeavor to bring pressure
to bear upon capitalist politicians,
• h ie nnn nr* flint 1U nil t I* I 1
| for something or another occasioned
by a labor struggle or a strike, we
discover circulars sent broadcast to
protest to the Governor, the Presi
i dent, to Congress. And these are
j advised by the very men and the
j very leaders who have been instru
; mental in making all those officials
' feel independent of labor in every
way, and completely prevented there
being any such thing as labor repre
; sentation.
I We can reasonably understand
| that the labor politician should grow
in disrepute on account of his re
| cord, but we can hardly question the
| earnestness and sincerity of many
\ men who have represented labor in
the socialist councils. What short
comings they presented clearly
enough were due to limitations ot
view rather than anything else.
Moreover, iliose who intolerantly
and completely decry all working
i class political action besides being
1 extremists who hesitate to follow
their own direct action views to the
: logical conclusion, are just as likely
; and in fact are seen to become doc
j trinaires quite to the same extent
: as those who have made of the soc
j ialist party a narrow and intolerant
sect.
We have to recognize the prior
necessity ot job organization. But
there is simply no reason why that
should antagonize us against any
.industrial political organization
which would unseat many of those
I in official position who are, and
i show they are. absolutely antagon
istic to labor.
That there is the danger ot
electing laborites to office who
will turn and rend to
pieces those who placed them in
power is quite correct. But
those things are not inevitable. We
have no reason to think they are
certain. It is true that a Sheriff
Macrae was once a labor union offi
cial, but whether as a union official
or as a sheriff, he was still willing
to be the tool of those whom he
wanted to serve for money. It would
be a hopeless condition of things if
we believed that every laborite who
entered on or was a candidate for a
political position would become a re
reactionary tool of the employing
classes. To believe that would be tc
believe that the labor union move
ment, the socialist movement, the
industrialist movement was hope
less in the extreme. We must have
confidence in some men, as some
men are tried and true and to be
trusted. If we are to live in perpe
tual distrust of our fellows, we can
have neither economic nor political
solidarity and we might as well
stop all agitating.
