I.AItOil DAY.
Today is a public holiday and
dedicated to Labor. It is not al
together clear why Labor should
have any holiday devoted to its in
terests as labor, because in point
of fact less is thought of the labor
ing man except in political speeches
than any other class.
The workers, or a section of them
with radical ideas, celebrate also
May 1, known as international la
bor day, but that is devoted to an
ideal which is not at all the same
jis animates the worker who cele
brates this day, which is just an
elevation of his calling to a plane
■which may be respected, but the
respect for which is not always in
evidence. In any event these are
times when Labor can well look to
itself. Never before has Labor
stood upon such dangerous ground,
, when almost all the privileges which
it has won by constant struggling
are liable to lie suddenly taken
away and without notice.
Just now the right to strike is in
danger. A congressman has em
Imdieil tiiat idea in a hill and this
would practically bring about a
■condition of involuntary servitude.
Just now the right to iorce men
to work under conditions that they
have repudiated is being 1 rouglu
to the attenion of Congress. Sen
njts>r Ashurst read a communication
Yrorn an Arizona Chamber of Com
merce urging that laws lie passed
to compel the workers to labor in
the copper mines that production
■could not be retarded by strikes.
Just now labor organizers have
been hung and the murderers are
unpunished. Just now labor orga
nizations. union men. have been
deported front Arizona and not a
word or hand said or raised to ob
ject by the authorities of tlie State.
Here is a paper contains a facsi
mile of a permit to a worker to
labor and report to the sheriff
every thirty days after he had re
pudiated his union affiliations.
If ever there was a time when
Labor faced a menacing state ot
things it was in the present.
Labor is charg . wka :>< m pro
<;erman if it demands better con
ditions and wages adequate to meet
the higher costs of living and tin
entire capitalist press disseminates
the news throughout the country.
Secretary Daniels severed all of
ficial connection with the Navy
League because that body libelled
the naval officials whdn It sent
broadcast throughout the country
the lie lhat the officials had called
off the investigation of the explo
sion in Mare Island because of the
influence of powerful labor inter
cuts, when the investigation report
v<as then actually on the way to
Washington.
onion halls are invaded and
broken up, the literature seized
and burned and the cry goes out
that they are criminal conspirators.
The cultivation of the idea that
all the workers in this country who
strive for better conditions are
■treasonable malefactors and traitor
ously seditious is so general that a
blind man could not help observ
ing this pretense.
Nor have we to overlook the fact
that so many radical publications
have been denied the mailing privi
leges and that most of these bitter
ly fought the conception of an in
dustrial feudalism building itself
upon the mediaval feudalism this
war is to forever destroy.
Dabor Day should this day he ob
served with all seriousness. They are
-serious times. They are times when
Vhts thought of every man might
well turn to the maintenace of the
constitutional rights of free speech,
free press and free assembly. They
are times when everyone of these
are menaced. A man in New
York state got ninety days for re
citing a part of the Declaration of
Independence. Another got six
months for quoting from the Bible.
They were all workers.
Sam Blythe, famous newspaper
man, in the Saturday Evening
Post, insists that an autocracy is
needed to win the war. A declara
tion of that kind is enough to make
the revolutionary fathers turn in
their grave.
But what an astounding condi
tion when an American will write
it and an American paper will
print such a treasonable statement;
a statement that brands every con
ception of Freedom that Americans
have hold before them for over a
century as a fallacy and a myth.
THl-i DAYTON' EDUCTION.
An astonishing amount ot pub
licity was given the municipal pri
maries in Dayton, Ohio last month,
August 16.
The three socialists candidates
head the list Barringer who led
the socialists polled 11,017 while
his denioi ratio opponent received
3,383 The election itself was on
the war as an issue. The Dayton
Daily News commenting on the re
in is me organ ui LIU owning
and employing classes) says: It
was a notable triumph for the so
cialists. They seem to have left
I very little triumph for any one
else.
The socialists announced in their
platform that they favored a oon
I plot" overthrow ot the government
and on this issue they have as many
votes as all their opponents com
bined."
The Now York Call says that
Dayton speaks lor America.
It asks “Who represents the peo
ple? We tay that we do: the gov
vernment says that we do not. It
is a clear cut issue". ,
The Dayton election ought at
least to have a sobering eftetc upon
any official who thought that as an
official he could not be responsible
to the pt?ople whom he was elected
or appointed lo serve. It ought to
he a reminder that they will have
some day to give an accounting for
ail their acts and they shall be
judged accordingly.
We believe the many arbitary
acts of petty or great officials, or
those acting with the apparent con
sent of such has been responsible
more than any thing else for the
result of the election at Dayton. It
is significant that the democratic
t Mini man- uni nui fiiuut'n vuica
in a democratis city in a democratic
state to get a place upon the bal
lot The defeated party leaders ad
mitted that “it afforded the public
an opportunity to protest and they
did so”.
AMERICAN B1S1XKHS MOST
REACTIONARY.
William Hard, who has made a
careful study of the business pro
blems of the war, both abroad and
in America, writes in The New Re
public:
“A man acquainted with foreign
industrial and political affairs who
will spend thjee months in Wash
ington meeting business men com
ing on war business to the national
capital from all parts of the United
States wou'd find it difficult not to
conclude that American business
men, all in all. are the most reac
tionary class of industrial rulers in
the civilized world. For an aston
ishing number of them the whole
labor movement, which has given
us trade union governments in the
Antipodes and cabinets speckled
with Socialists in virtually every
free country in Europe, is not a
movement at all. It is nothing but
a 'trouble'. The very* same thing
that is shaking Russia, and, there
fore, shaking and remaking the
world, thrust* a finger in their fac
tories, and they see nothing but a
‘labor trouble,’ invented by irrele
vant agitaotrs, now presumably al
ways German.”

PREACHER KII LED EIGHT.
LOGAN*. Iowa. Sept. 2.—Rev.
G. J. Kelly today confessed to the
killing of eight people in 1912. Six
of these were children.
Kelly is unquestionably a religi
ous maniac and a dangerous homi
icde. He explained in his confes
sion that he killed these people as
a sacrif.ee to God and in conform
ity with the bible which says “to
slay utterly”. Keeling is very in
tense against iMr. Kelly and he is
protected by a heavy guard.
Alienists declare that the man's
insanity is self evident.
At the time the murders were
committed it was recognized that
it was the wcrk of some lunatic.
Kelly has been at large all the
time and cleverly foiled suspicion.
