Commenting upon some remarks
of the Industrial Worker as to the
Compensation Act, passed by the
last legislature, and in particular to
some unsweetened brand of riti
cism as to the influenct of the
Treadwell or similar corporations
on the daily press in Juneau, the
Empire takes editorial br null to
refer to such a remark as an appeal
to prejudice and passion and says
it’s misleading the people.
To prove this, the Empire further
more cites the fact that the Tread
well had an agreement with its em
ployees long before the Compensa
tion Act was passed, and it had
worked .ery successfully.
Well and good; but why not tell
the truth about this agreement, it
was really a matter of compulsion,
and an employee had no option but
to accept it, whether agreeing or
not agreeing with its terms.
The Empire knows and everyone
else knows that the company dic
tated the terms of such an agree
ment,and the man who wouldn*
"agree" couldn’t work there. There
was no freedom about it. It was
and is, industrial serfdom. The
Treadwell had the job and if you
didn't agree to accept any compen
sation they gave you, no matter
how badly you wanted work, you
couldn't slave there.
The Compensation act is a boon
to the corporations. It restricts the
damages quite acceptably to them.
It places a premium positively upon
careless operation ai d upon neg
lect to instal safety appliances. It
insures death traps and dangerous
mines and as such it has been
placed upon tho statute books.
And judging by the assumption ot
offended dignity and respectable
rebuke of the Empire, we are in
clined to judge the Worker’s refer
ence to the Treadwell’s influence
must have been a home-thrust.
It doesn't matter whether an.v
person agrees with him or not, one
has to concede tremendous more.i
courage to Liebkneclit. Tt takes
great bravery to stand up in a na
tion stricken with the war fever and
denounce war and militarism. It's
easy enough to shout with the
crowd. We are all influenced by it
and the tyranny of the multitude
has been a matter which caused
much misgivings to many a liber
tarian. And it is a serious question.
When a national spirit is aroused,
especially in time of war. it is the
most unthinking and the most ty
rannical and the most intolerant ot
all. If such a brand of patriotism is
a virtue, it is a virtue knows no
toleration. It detests opposition. It
has no patience with the man who
says it is wrong. It makes up its
sentiments over night, and in the
morning is carried away by its ob
session Clever men, cunning men,
shrewd manipulators have always
realized tins. They work the multi
tilde and send them to their own
undoing. thoughtlesly, relentlessly
and rejoicingly. Although but the
creatures of the whims of their
master, they are also the victims ot
their own insane passion. And the
man who opposes them does so at
his peril.
No one knows this better than
Liebknecht. He has considered the
psychology of the multitude at
length himself. Ho knows its dang
ers, its cruelltles, its remorucessness
its ruthlessness. Yet if a man modes
his life along certain lines for truth’s
sake and refuses to compromise
one jot or tittle of his modelling,
the man who docs so must be made
of stern stuff that will be cowed by
no Jeering, sneering, threatening
multitude, and will stand before
the world with truth and unafraid.
Such a man unquootionably Is
Liebknecht. Infinitely braver to our
hinking than the heroes of the Iron
'ross whose bravery found expres
sion midst the plaudit", •'f their
jomrados and tho cheers of their
leaders. For Liebknecht there is
ao ouch guerdon; only the reward
that comes to a fearless soul that
feels that ho has right to do and
does it perhaps foarsomely, perhaps
hesitatingly in tho weakness of
fleshly timidity, but unflinchingly
with the bravery of a soul’s valor.
It is after the long war i3 over
and mon turn round to take stock
of where they and their comrades
stood, those who now have turned
against Dr. Liebknecht will have to
do him belated reverence as who
should say: “Here was a man”.
