NOT INK NOUN.
Some ado if. mr.do about the in
consistencies i f the statements made
by this man Vaile who is high mo
gul in tlie railroad mail service.
That lie should "have afforded Nome
one brand of information and rio
attlo another and that neither
should have been correct may bo
astonishing to some. But not to the
Industrial Worker. The ways of the
department have been long admired
by the people of this community,
and for ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain the Railway
Mail service is remarkably peculiar.
The Vaile system of diplomacy is
not new and not unknown in these
parts. Were it not that a rose
with any other name would smell
as sweet, we might say that it 13
often termed another quality than
i mere inconsistency. But why gild
refined gold?
ANOTHTIt ULTIMATUM.
Only a regard for a neglect-Mi
classical education prevents one de
scribing the latest Wilson note to
Germany an ultimatlssiraum. Be
sides may be there will be another
one and we would then have to in
vent still another superfluous super
lative.
As between the efficiency of a
German torpedo and a Wilson note
in effecting its desired end, that s
another question.
The poii may be mightier than the
sword but the note is assuredly not
superior to the submarine.
There if something supremely
great in a touching confidence in
rhetoric especially when you insist
as part of your rhetorical effort
that the other fellow is in the
wrong. Qut greatness and effective
ness are not now and never were
interchangeable terms.
I.AROU’S IHSCOXTKNT.
Dispatches arriving show an al
most universal discontent outside
High prices and low wages have Un
usual result. Industrial activity in
coining into being and withal thn
manufacturers with covetous tulnd.s
would preserve the wc, scu.c paid
during a depression. And .eleven;,
enough they are now making use of
the old anonymity, the Public, to
show that he is the real sufferer in
the wrangling between capital ana
labor.
Dong ago, it. has beon pointed
opt, the Public having neither capi
talist nor lahorlte affiliations or a.->
oiations is a myth. They are either
with capital or with labor. There is
no middle course. Because many
attempt to prove there is; because
many insist upon declaring that
thero is; because a number hold
that there is a neutral zone in the
class struggle, a good many are
muddied and many are misled.
THK PASSING OF THK COItVVIN.
The passing of the Corwin is an
event which for Nomettes possesses
more than a mere passing interest.
That old craft has boen so closely
identified with the happy period of
Spring and all its Joys, that its me
mory is a thing of beauty in the
mind's eyo would take a poet aptly
to apostrophize.
Who may deny the potency to re
vive the drooping spirit of the win
torwearied residents of this commu
nity the distant smoke of the distant
steamer possessed? Who may ques
tion the odoriferous pleasures ot
tiie Corwin egg? What grocer but
will search in vain for a substitute
titlp to apply to the unqp.ndled hen
fruit that has gathered upon his
hands throughout the winter? Who
may recall without a pang of pleas
ure. so to say, the arrival of the
Corwin mail—the Corwin passeng
ers the first chechacoes of the sea
son that loomed up full of hope
eternal ?
Under alien skies and (lying an
alien ling (he old reliable lias been
engulfed in the frenzied policy of
preparedness which has overtaken
the nations and the sea-going crafl
will become a gun bout. In its old
age, which should have been spent
on the quiet shores of Puget Sound
at the home of some Siwash fishing
camp, the Corwin is, under another
name, to don its naval garb and
clear its decks for action—to die
fighting in the cause of the greaser
and the peon. To what bases uses
do we come
i “Great Caesar dead and turned to
I clay
May stop a hole to keep the mice
away".
THE SOLID SOUTH.
When the child labor bill was
before the Senate there wore 74
votes cast against It. Of these solid
voto3, fifty were rrom the Solid
South. Tho Southern gentleman is
chivalrous indeed, but the cotton
1 mills need child labor and when
child labor and cotton mill prosper
ity j^re placed in tho balance the im
mediate advantage of favoring the
latter is quite apparent despite that
chivalry. Mary Phagin murdered
; provoked spontaneously a host or
lynching defenders: A Mary Phagin
driven into child slavery evokes not
a single remonstrance.
STIlili UNCONFIRMED.
The fight against Brandcls is gett
ing tiresome. What the Wall Street
Journal called the “criminal blund
er" of President Wilson is still un
confirmed by the Senate. To allow
a radical Jew upon the Supreme
| Bench seems the height of iniquity
Especially is the iniquity heightened
when a Taft is available. That is
why the “crime” of Wilson is so
poignant. It is all right to appoint
ultra reactionaries, rule of reason
men, who will usurp legislative
powers, but to permit a radical Jew
to become a member of the most
powerful and unrestrained body on
earth seen^ intolerable.
A socialist in a city council is not
so very objectionable; a socialist in
tlie House of Representatives would
he tolerable; a socialist in the
Senate would be objectionable but
hearable—but a radical who is not
even a socialist may not sit upon
the Supreme bench. That is re
served for the servants of plutocracy
And the privileged classes full well
understand where the real power 01
the country lies.
THE GLORIES OK PEACE.
Remarkably enough it’s to a sol
dier that we owe having public at
tention directed to the glories of
peace. And a major-general he is.
no less.
Quite recently Major General Gor
gas, the man who had the job of
maintaining health on tho Canal
Zone and the highest medical officer
in the United States army said:
“The preventable mortality in tihs
country is greater than the mortal
ity caused by tho European war.
Science knows that the chief cause
of disease is poverty; that disease
can never be eliminated so long as
people live poorly and close to
gether”.
So far we have heard of none of
the politicians making stump
speeches anent preparedness to eli
minate the cause of pacific mortal
ity. There's no munltionlst money
in that, and a whole lot are better
dead than alive any way.
HOME VIRGINIA POSTMEN.
" ■ . i • ■
Some postal employees of Fair
mont, West Virginia, asked fbr cer
tain improvement in working con
ditions from the Post Office Depart
ment and the Civil Service Commls
sion. They failed as one paper put
It, to secure “justice" and they re
signed.
Thereupon officials had their cases
brought before the Grand Jury anu
they were indicted for a "conspi
racy to retard and obstruct the pass
age of the mails”. It was adrftiPteo
that they exercised neither intimida
tion nor threats, not even any form
of moral suasion. They simply quit
Yet tried before Judge Dayton’s fe
deral court they were convicted and
sentenced.
The State Journal vigorously pro
tested. it said in part: "If the
government oj the United States in
the civil service has the right anu
the power to compel its employees
to continue their services undei
these circumstances and. upon tlu
contontion set up in this case
whether the employees will or no,
then private interests and private
employers have the same power'"/
It surely would appear so.
Moreover if the government can
make a man work agafnst his will
and jail him if he quits, what iz
slavery?
Moreover and in addition amt
i furthermore this is the kind o!
socialism that Victor Berger an.!
any amount of government owner
ship socialists would foist upon the
people.
1 Concluded the State Journal: "As!
a champion of our free institutions,
of the liberty which has been the ;
girt of the fathers and preserved by |
the immortal deeds of Washington j
of Jefferson and of Lincoln, The
I State Journal protests".
Protests? But protests break no
chains and open no prison doors.
WHY THERE ARE GANGSTERS.
When milk drivers wont on strike
in New York, Frank Capalory,
Benny Cohen, William Carlin,
! strong arm men and gangsters
hired by the milk companies were
each fined ten dollars for boating up
strikers. They were "all men of the
gorilla type", a menace to the peace
J of New York, prominent in politics,
useful in strikes and all wtlh crim
| ical records. They were typical
j gangsters.
i People often wonder why these
1 gangsters kUling police, private citl
! zens and beating up both; thieves,
'crooks, murderers and felons are
j tolerated when the enforcement of
' police orders could wipe them oft
I the map in two days. Yet they are
'seldom prosecuted; seldom arrested
unless when they trespass upon the
protected higher-ups and make
themselves a nuisance as in the
Rosenthal murder. Here’s the rea
son. They are the soldiers of capi
tal and part of the capitalist’s pre
parationist scheme. They are Im
mune, these men “of the gorilla
type". That’s why there are gang
sters.
