The settlement of the difficult;
that temporarily interrupted the
work ol the Pioneer Mining Co's
employees is hailed with satisfac
tion by everyone. The decision of
the management to concede the
scale of five dollars and board and 1
to rt—employ ail the men who walk
ed out is disposing of the question
iu a most satisfactory way and the
res'll ration of amicable relations be
tween employer and employees is
one that will have the endorse
ment of the community.
Unfortunately in too many in
stances when differences arise be
tween employers and employees,
some managers conceive it to be a
sign of weakness to make any con
cession whatever. But quite the
contrary is the case. The broad
minded and courageous manager is
he who recognizes the human factor
in the problem, realizes that the
employees are entitled to a hearing
and is prepared to rise above the
immediate personal views involved
of necessity front his position and
gives consideration to the employ
ees side.
The latter fortunately was the
case in tlti - instance, and the In- !
dustrial Worker unhesitatingly
declares that it deserves praise. We
fee! confident that such an amicable
settlement will in the long run re
dound to the satisfaction of all par
ties concerned, as well as the com
munity itself.
IXTKItN ATIONA I, At TIOX.
About March Gompcrs exchanged
dispatches by cable with the head
of the labor movement in Japan.
Mr. Suzuki Gompcrs said "the
most important immediate duty of
our labor movements Is to use every
influence in our power upon the gov
ernments of Japan and the I nited
States to maintain the best 'poss
ible relations between our respec
tive countries and endeavor ami
cable to solve vexations problems' .
To which Sizuki replied ‘Co-ope
rate for labor and humanity”.
In other words while Gompcrs
indulged in a generalized statement
which got nowhere and suggested
nothing, clear, laconic ar.d illumi
nating as a flash of bright white
light tlie Japanese leader came
back with the how and the where
fore.
It is one thing to talk of using
influence upon governments. It is
quite another thing to say how it
can be done effectively. The mind
that is given little to accomplish
anything concerns itself with the
theories of life and living, the
mind that guides a doer says how
it shall he brought about.
Indeed in I his Japanese response
to the Gompcrs telegram we see
immediately how peace and inter
national amity can be brought about
to a degree of permanence that
otherwise is impossible to Leagues
to Enforce Peace (after war).
The future is for the working
classes, however dark and hopeless
may be ihe present outlook, there
is no denying that. While others
may now he in the ascendancy in
the days to come it is the worker
who will count. Moreover, let
there he complete understanding,
fraternal union and solidarity be
tween the workers of the world,
and \ .r- and strife become things
of (lie past.
The workers must he prepared j
to demolish every barrier that sepa-;
rates th ' toilers in one section front j
those of another. We are today-1
reaping the penalty for Liiat during j
the years of peace the workers [
failed in their duty and did not
solidify the bonds between the
workers of every nation. There
was too much nationalism keeping J
the workers apart, and tending to j
keep them apart, and making as if
to ri iider permanent the differences
of racial opinions, notions and what
not.
The antagonism shown by orga
nized labor to orientals, for ex
ample. lias had nothing but a bad
effect upon the labor movement.
Essentially the idea of organization
is that every worker who is a worker
meets on the same plane of uniform
equality: regardless of creed or
I'olor. rai e or nationality.
Vet it lias been so obviously the
interest of 'lie employing classes to
nourish differences between races,
nationalities and religions, that
they have quite subtly imbued em
ployees in every land with notions
of superiority which are inately false
and in many cases little short of ri
diculous.
Now it is possible to recognize
the fact that men feel attachment
to the land wherein they were born
or wherein they live or wherein
they have had pleasant and pleasur
able associations or memories. It
is possible that men may take a
wholesome pride in the activities ot
their fellows in one country or an
other without being dragged into
hostilities on that account. Men
in one section of the country can
have a pride in the achievements
of that section as compared with
other sections of the same nation
without necessarily revolting be
cause of its superiority, or that
pride being anything but the stimu
lus for friendly emulation.
The fact of the matter is that
there never has been sufficient hu
man association between the work
ers of one country and those of
another. They have not been
brought close enough in contact.
They have not had to share the
same difficulties, the same dangers,
together, however they may have
participated in them separately in
their several countries.
The United States has shown,
and especially some more open
minded labor organizations in this
country have^jhown, that the broth
erhood of man is no figment of the
imagination, but a fact quite cap
able of easy realization. In some
American labor organizations you
will find every nationality under the
sun fighting shoulder to shoulder,
making the cause of one the cause
of the other and of all. In it there
will be no questions of superior
races, of backward nations, of any
thing else but the cause of labor
and humanity.
It is not difficult to conceive a
real internationalism which would
unite, the workers of the world
within the same association, an as
sociation which would be produc
tive of a perfect understanding, and
that men of any race and all races
are very human with merely small
and unimportant differences, and
all imbued with the same sympa
thies and the same emotions and
the same faults and the same vir
tues.
That some nations have certain
admirable characteristics is true
enough, but 't will be found that
the virtues and failings about com
pensate in ail, so that one is count
erbalanced so nicely by the othei
that there is no such tiling as a
race of supermen.
We are all too strongly anchored
to cheap, mean and sordid environ
ments to pro; ' lit anything so strik
ingly noble as contrasted with the
r* st of the world, for any race or
nation to claim tremendous super
iority and when any such is claimed
it is claimed merely by some parrot
brain that is repeating words whlcn
a master class has taught him.
Shortly before the war in ■Europe
a delegation of British workmen
visited the German workers with
the express intention of fostering
the good will between the nations.
But that was begun too late. Ii
could not overcome the campaign
which jingoists and chauvinists and
militarists and imperialists f(nd
munitionists In these countries had
carried on to have both ready at
the word to fly at one another's
throats.
Yet manifestly it was a step In
tlie right direction and one that is
capable of infinite extension in the
interest of labor and of humanity, i
In the recent vital matters which
came before government for deci
sion and action as far as we could
see labor had no voice at all. Cer
tainly labor's interests as far as
providing material for notes or the
like did not enter into ny phase of
the question. But just as certainly
it is upon labor that the onus
of a successful prosecution of war j
which resulted from this step, will |
rest ultimately.
t Hence, in spite of the flattering :
unction tnat such as Gompc-rs an j
accustomed to lay to their souls i
the influence of labor in the govern-1
meats is, especially as company
with the financial, industrial ar.o I
commercial interests, quite neglig j
ible and il is merely the vaine t !
results of elaborate jawsroithing to
talk about “influencing our govern
ments” for Gompers to talk as he
does.
In point of fact labor can influ- I
ence government—not only influ
ence it but have a detremining sa>
in what shall be its final decision on
any matter of paramount import
ance to the workers. But that d>
pends first of all upon organiza
tion. and the organization provided
for an extension of such influence
today is strongly suggestive ot tno
effort to sweep back the flowing
tide water with a broom. There
must he organization founded upon
the facts of labor's intense commits
ity of interest with labor in every
thing. There must he organization
which will sweep aside all obstacl.■>
to the fulfilment of the motto that
an injury to one is the concern of,
because an injury to. all.
There must 'oe builded up an orga
nization which will reach after
stars even if the grasp falls short,
and which will be founded upon the
bed rock fact of working class so
lidarity and the class struggle.
Accordingly having perfected
such a system at home, into foreign
movements can the workers of one
land reach out and make common
cause with the workers of another.
In this way there will be laid the
plan for a future international as
sociation which will be able to
sweep away those antagonizing in
fluences which keep the workers j
apart in one land and in one land
from another.
