Sixteen women are now wearing
prison garments and performing i
servile labor because of the fact:
that they entertain ccitain opinions |
and for the advocacy of which.
they went to some lengths of agi- j
tation. Like the Irish patriot who j
loved Granuaile, “They fought no
man, they spilt, no blood”, but they
have been put in 'ail. They con
tended that because twenty million
women were denied the right to
vote America was not a democracy
and announced that fact upon ban
ners so that all may read.
And it is very interesting to note
that the suffragettes are themselves
divided on the policy of militancy.
Quite a number have been free to
admit that they do not approve,
but rather that they heartily con
demn the policy of their sisters and
one distinguished lady named Mrs.
Carrie Chapmann Catt—what’s in
u name?—declared the militants
guilty of a policy unwise, unpatri
otic and most unprofitable to the
cause of suffrage.
All this shows tha.. the country is
pret^t wi ll split on what is patri
otic, v is ■ and profitable just now
trom the point of view of the sever
al advocates of certain policies The
i-", bilists are split ns to the ■wisdom
of the policy of some of their mem
bers; a large number of laborites
condemn the Gompers policies,
many “leaders” bitterly oppose the
policies of the industrialists, and
there is such a general conflict of
opinion that those who adopt de
finite policies regardless of opposi
tion usually are certain to receive
an unbounded amount of criticism.

When the Liberty Loan was cir
culating throughout the country
many large employers of labor com
pelled their employees to subscribe
for a Liberty Loan Bond. And a
good many took great pride in the
amount which was collected in this
way.
.Thus, to pick one such case at
^ random the Singer Manufacturing
Co. of Bridgeport. Conn., posted the
following notice in its shops:
“Unless you can show some good
reason that cannot be overcome by
rigid economy you are expected to
take a Liberty Bond. If you dont
you are not a good citizen. The boy
, who goes to the front risks his life
You take no risk and get good se
curity. You are a slacker if you
dont back him up. You will be cal
led upon today. (Signed)
George M. Eames.
Works Manager.
The man who didn’t take a bond
under those circumstances must
have been in a position to care very
little whether he was discharged or
not. It was a form of compulsory
collection and there is no question
ahoul it.
It might be urged that the man
did not have to subscribe. The\em
ployee might not accept this ulti
matum; if he didn’t care to do as
he was told he could have quit sure
enough and there is always the
choice between working and starv
ing.
Attention is called to the fact
that the workers are subjected to
compulsion at all times. Industrial
conditions make them the victims ot
suih conscription. It is through
their propertyless, penniless condi
tion that their labor is exacted
from them and that to be allowed
access to the means of subslstenc •
upon the part of the owners, they
will do its the owners of the ma
chinery and the industrial plants
order them.
Now the United States needs
monev and needs it badly. There
is no doubt about that. None of
the war contractors are giving their
war material away. And there is
no doubt about that either. lb uca
the gov- rnmciit to carry on tin; war
to back up the men who are doing
the fighting must hate the sinews
of war.. Two per cent o:' the peo
ple cf the United States—two per
cent—own more than half of the
wealth in the United States. Hence
it is only logical and fair and rea
sonable that the monev to make the
war horse get along should come
from that two per cent of the po
pulation. And the government has
the light, the right by eminent do
main to seize and hold whatever
funds are needed for carrying on
the war. But there is no wealth
conscription. The Senators even
throw out or decrease the war pro
fits tax considerably. Instead we have
the victims of industrial conscrip
tion. the men who are forced by eco
nomic conditions, conscripted of
their scanty savings, told that they
must blow through with their little
wad or get out of the job.
Wealth conscription begins at tho
wrong end. apparently. But it is a
starter. Some day, may be, the
United States government may say
to the oligarchs of industry: “You
have more money than you can
safely handle. Instead cf making
donations of untaxable Foundations
for a while, instead of buying up
tin taxable wealth in vacant lands,
instead of loaning untaxable monies
to Uncle Sam at so much per cent,
the country needs it and the coun
try wil take it, will take it the same
as the nation takes the life and the
services of the flower of its man
hood, the young, brilliant, strong
lusty, healthy, vigorous sons in
which mothers and fathers have
prided so justly. Will take it the
same as the Singer Co. compelled
its employees to subscribe for Liber
ty Loans not knowing that today
or the day after the widows and the
orphans of industrial accidents
might shift for themselves in pover
ty and misery.”
When that day comes there will
he some enthusiasm for a war of de
mocracy that will astonish the
enemy nations.
i:\ll,KO\l> WOMEN.
The managers of the American
railroads are taking time by the
forelock and it is their intention to
made the most of the war situation.
This becomes a labor of love, especi
ally with brotherhoods and Adam
son bills and the like still rankling
in their minds.
The war affords them an oppor
tunity of getting even and they are
making haste to do so. Thus for
example some have established wo
men in their machine shops, others
are trying them in their stations,
others again are even testing them
in roundhouses.
But the M. K. & T. has made the
most progressive step of all. Tiiis
is the establishment at Dallas, Texas
of a railroad training school for
women employees. Here the wo
men will be educated in every line
of railroad endeavor and placed
where they are needed. Apparently
the managers realize that the best
way to fight the brotherhoods is by
the sisterhoods.
And it is all done so nicely and
neatly under the cloak of war time
and patriotic efficiency.
