( o\s( mr i ion.
While later on tin y may be
spared, ii is highly improbable that
;it tin nut s t (i; tin enforcement
of ( ons'rim iau many workingmen
j.in the industries which are
subsidiary to tin war. and will be
none too numerous at that.
\. it is now tin proiluctivi capa
, it> of tin- nation is to im taxed to
tile utmost lor the t nited Slates will
hereafter have to tullil the role ot
general provider for the lint elite in
whn li Great Britain heretofore has.
functioned almost to the point of ex
haustion.
This will take up the energy of all
the available labor supply, and if
the extensive plans of the adminis
tration are to he carried out. there
will he little available surplus tor re
cruiting.
But there is another field which
will prove fertile enough for the en
listment of men for the army. These
are the salaried employees as con
trasted with the wage workers,
and those smaller businessmen and
partners who can be very easily dis
pensed with in the social scheme.
In this we can see an analog-.'. as
to what will take place, actually
accomplished in Great Britain on
s< ription affected very < w of the.
working Hass. AH who were of
military age were denied work.
ThHr places were taken by men of
in n military age where they could
I,,, dispensed with, in! where sum
superannuates could not he obtain *ci
women and boys were utilised. So
to affect them, no law was necessary.
A man who could not got work had
to join the army and usually in
ninety-nine eases out ot a bundle 1
lie dill so.
Hut in Great Britain then was ar
i nortuous number of clerks, counter
unip r- p' ttv bosses, teachers, civil
service nondeserpts, businessmens
sons or youthful partners, lower
uml upper middle i ias nu n, w ho
scorned to ri alize themselves as
working men, who were available.
I'le y were also the eoniii suppb -
ni' iit sport tin "nuts . the Inlist
, rs ol the puhlii house, tie betting
ring, the race course, the athl -tic
meetings, the foot ball mat h -t. I'.s
sei iiall> parasiti ' Ii find usually
enough education to get an easy ;oii
or enough money to live in enjoy
ment without -.oiling llielr hands.
Some of them enlisted at the start
of tin war, either through genuine
patriotii feeling or through shame.
Many of them remained slaekers and
it was these that the draft act hit
hardest. Conscript officials made
raids on football games, race meet
ings, shows and even war demonstra
tions and there they made their
greatest haul of human flotsam of
tips kind anil made solders out ot
them.
It is the irony of fate that this
us-less and parasitic class had been
tin most demonstrative over tin
war. They cheered at the war me t
■ ngs. wore (lags conspicuously.
-In,iited their desperate determina
tion and on paper and in words laid
their precious persons on the altars
of their country! They were de
lighted with tin war when they did
no fighting, and thev loved nothing
hotter than a chorus about Soldiers
of the King and the Bull Hog Breed.
Several writers have bitterly i x
posed these noisy patriots. But if
anyone thinks that a war is going
to change the ways of the lip servers
and paper patriots or hypocritical
flagonianiacs they have another
guess coming.
The opposition to conscription Is
not likely to come very intensively
from the working man. He is con
scripted industrially year in and
year out. The necessity of having
to provide himself witli the ways
and means or living compels him to
sell his labor, and a poltical law
compelling him to accept conscrip
tion will not change very much his
position.
Hence we think that much of this
oi>]>osition to the draft bill is in
spired by those souces which hereto
fore have been subjected to no such
tiling ;<-■ economic pressure to any
nt-i i ssitous d agree. And if it is
jv!! • d by tie- workers, it is merely
a r-rlecton wlticii may lie a good
deal more altruistic than material
and practical.
The conscription of the \ast ma
jority of salaried employees should
be regarded with a considerable de
gri e of equanimity by the workers.
Tin y could be put to a lot worse
uses.
\i.most mi
Thf aftermath of tlie Mooney
ease is now manifesting itself. It is
[one that cannot be overlooked hut it
i is one that all the hireling press
| agencies of the country are going
! to stifle or pervert.
i
The papers that bawled themselves
hoarse in a frenzy of excitement
over the confession of the a'acNa
tnaras will not have more than a
■line or two hiddt n away in the hack
'columns about this startling de
| noucment.
i Great capitalist ir.'ciests which
had set themselves in the name of
law and order to effect the destruc
tion of unionism in San Francisco
conspired with criminal officials to
murder men in cold blood through
the law. That is the purport of these
sworn confessions, revealing a per
version of official power that shocks
land amazes everyone.
The men who were to be the
victims of that conspiracy were men
who were active in union cricles in
the Golden Gate city. One of them,
[ a corporation' private detective to
whom was practically turned over
the matter of the frame-up, was pur
suing before the parade, and hart
ofured .$.">000 to another of the de
fendants to incriminate in another
frame-u p!
The whole thing is such a ghastly
revelation as to how far officials who
are merely the hirelings of capital
ist malefactor!; will go in endeavor
ing to suppress th( efforts of labor
to wring tt larger share of its own
product that labor may live in a
sembance of decency, that it stagg
ers the imagination.
Here are all those officials hoist
with their own petrad. Discovered
in their dens where they would ar
j range to take the lives of innocent
1 men and women.
And the remarkable part of the
j whole matter is that the entire press
j of the country goes wild with excite
j mc-nt and scared headlines over the
sinking of a foreign ship and the
loss ol a sailor or two within a War
zone, while the deliberate attempt to
prostitute the law and justice in
order to murder innocent men does
not secure a paragraph.
Yet, no matter what may be
thought or said or suppressed, there
j is no question that this act or these
j acts and conspiracies in San Fran
cisco are a far greater menace to the
country and its fredom -than all the
' mibmarinings that have occurred on
the high seas since 1014.
'undign punishment should ho vi
sit* d upon these officials and the
! real malefactors, the hlglier-ups.
[They attempted to kill these men as
j deliberately as the assassin stalls
iwith the knife or the bandit kills
[ with his bullet. Only in this way
; can the nation he purged of the out
i rageous stain that they have so
j foully cast upon the most precious
of all the rights of men: right of
an untarnished trial by jury.
