K(X)I> i'ltlt'K BOOSTKHS.
Last May, the German authorities
prosecuted and severely punished
several subjects wlio engaged in
boosting the price of food in order
to increase their profits.
Germany is at war and is block
aded. In consequence German food
supply became restricted and it was
necessary that food be supplied
through government channels, in
order at least that all might obtain
enough to live upon.
Notwithstanding this crisis, the
speculative instinct of a good many
got the better of the public need
and they sent prices soaring. The
government saw in this a nefarious
act and punished it accordingly.
And it was. It sent the costs or
decent living up above any pose,bile
chance of the average person reach
ing them, and ended in considerable
suffering all round.
But why, in the name of common
sense and plain reason, should it
require a war to check this nefari
ous conduct upon the part of the
food or necessity boosters? Why
should it be confined to any nation
at peace or in war? Why is it not
done as a rational precaution in all
countries, if human welfare is the
first consideration in society?
Gome to think of it, if every pack
ing trust, commission ring, food
combine and other commercial
agency engaged in the simple pur
suit of boosting prices for their own
profit in the United States and so
driving up costs of living to aviation
heights, were taken by the scruff of
the neck and the seat of their pants
by Uncle Sara and landed in a
bleak and lonely desert isle for all
time, the country would benefit
thereby.
SCABS.
A former resident of Sing Sing
prison for an unmentionable crime
was in charge of a street car during
the recent traction strike in New
York. This strikebreaker-convict
or convict-scab ran over and killed
a person on the street because he
did not understand the brakes. He
wasn’t prosecuted and never will be.
But that is neither here nor there.
The thing of beauty to admire
is the sort of outlaws that employ
ers force into their service to lower
wages and to prevent the workers
obtaining sufficient to live upon. To
keep the unionists from winning out
in Seattle, the Steamship companies
introduced into that city a number
of negro rapists. These degenerates
all find in scabbery their lowest
level.
ZEPPELINS.
There is one thing certain that
although good fighters the Germans
are mighty poor apologists. Thus
among yesterday’s dispatches was
one to the effect that the Zeppelin
raids wherein so many non-combat
ants suffered in Great Britain were
being carried out because of the
failure to punish the officers and
crew of the Baralong who shot the
submarine crew of a German U
boat.
Now everyone knows that Zeppe
lin raids were going on long before
the Baralong affairs: that Zeppe
lin raids were caried out on Servian
and Greek towns; that Zeppelins at
tacked French towns and the autho
rities in none of these had anything
to do with the Baralong affair.
It is a lame and halt excuse that
and even Germans will realize it. Far
better would it be to wipe out this
nonsense from men’s minds that war
Is anyway kindly or humane, or that
It can be kindly or humane, or that
the non-combatants who urge its suc
cessful pro ecution, who cheer the
trampling feet of the soldiery, who
aid directly or indirectly in the sup
port of armies are in any sense to
be immune from its horrors.
War is hell, ami ail inhuman, bar
barous and savage hell. There is
not a thing the Germans have done
which the Allies would not do if
they had a half show. If they had
Zeppelins or dirigibles more deadly
than Zeppelins they would be using
them over German cities just as
they raided Karlsruhe and other
places with aeroplanes. The Ger
mans executed Miss Cavell, the
French executed Miss Schmidt. The
Germans killed Captain Kyat, the
Iiritish executed Irish prisoners of
war who surrendered in Dublin.
They are all tarred with the same
bloody and dirty brush, every
mother's son of them. War is capi
talist violence, naked undisgused
and exposed in all its open brutal
ity. The wrappings of the rulers
and the ruling class which made
their methods appear civilized and
humane, and concealed the element
al secret of their authority and
their rights, are exposed in the nak
ed and hideous display of Might.
Why should Germany apologize
for its Zeppelin raids? Why should
France or Great Ilritain attempt to
excuse their aeroplane raids? It is
war, plain, bloody war materialized
and real and existing for the pur
pose of causing the intensest suffer
ing, the cruellest horrors, the great
est possible destruction upon the
enemy nations. There is no use in
Germany or any *other nation add
ing to its terror and its hideousness,
the contemptible vice of hypocrisy.
That only adds to the degradation
of the nations which attempt to ex
cuse or palliate their atrocities.
TilK LONGSHORE STRIKE,
While it would be premature tc
say that the Seattle water front
strike is lost, it can he said that the
outlook is none too favorable. And
the fault is not in the spirit of the
strikers, but in the obsolete me
thods of organization which made
possible the betrayal of the workers
in one port by those of another.
Going out originally to assist
San Francisco, the unionists in the
latter city returned to work regard
less of the results of their action on
the water front conditions in other
ports. Controlled in baa Fran
cisco by a bunch of political fakirs,
rotten to the core with graft and
high bindery, the Puget Sound men
have been disgracefully betrayed.
", here is no re-json why labor
should attempt to conceal these
facts for they are facts, and just as
long as the miserable tactics of craft
un onism are employed just so long
will the workers be what they are.
Complete success In such a strike
could have been promptly gained
had all the transportation workers
struck simultaneously. Why
shouldn’t the sailors who have
handled freight have walked out as
well as the dock workers? And just
as long as the labor of the seamen
helped to keep the ships moving, to
that vital extent they aided and
abetted the defeat of the longshore
men. They fought the fight of the
employers and although they are
all eager to acclaim their unionism,
they were strikebreakers on the
union dock workers, just as cer
tainly as the men who were im
ported to work on the docks.
There is no hope for labor as long
employers can pit one set of union
men against another. There is no
hope for a victorious strike just as
long as the workers will not make
the cause of one the cause of all.
The dock workers and the sailors
are doing the same work. They ire
all workers in the transportation iiv
dustry. They all assist in moving
freight just as long as one works
while the other strikes, the strike
is bound to failure.
Such strikes are useless and only
a waste of time and a sacrifice of
money. They do no good unless
they can be used as clubs to knock
some sense into the workers as to
the folly of craft unionism and in
utility of the methods of the subdi
vision of labor.
We hear a lot from craft union ;
papers of industrialist disrupter 1
and the folly of dual unionism. But i
in anything that industrialists hav ■ I
taught or held, is there anything :
like the organized strike breaking
that finds lodgement under tin
wings of craft unionism? And thos ,
anarchist freaks who call them
selves syndicalists, who would bor
from within to official positions,
what have they to say before these
disgraceful Instances of onet
“Lrother” scabbing upon another? i
It is good to speak plainly. Such
unionism might as well be wiped o
the map for all the good it is. Th
boisterous claims as to better coi
ditions which have followed their
activities are not worth considering.
Increases have not kept pace with '
higher costs of living and where
they have been obtained they were
obtained because they took advant- ^
age of increased demand for labor |
with a secure little job trust that
obtained some little benefit at the
expense of the rest of the workers.
There is not a single incident oc
curs in the labor movement that
i does not emphasize the fact that the
industrial organization way is the
only way.
