A PLEDGE TO 1
THE WORLD
OF THE LOYALTY OF THE ORG ANIZED WORKERS OF TACOMA
TO OUR GOVERNEMENT IN’ ITS WAR FOR WORLD
, WIDE DEMOCRACY.
In an. organization composed oi
many organizations, there must, ot
necessity, be representatives of
every creed, color, and thought, in
order that there may be solidity
of organization, and in consequence
of which the accomplishment of pur
pose, namely the unity of workers,
elevation of the standard of Un
American workman, the municipal
ownership of public utilities, the
passage and cigid enforcement ot
anti-chnld labor laws, the initiative
and referendum and the right ol
recall of public officers—judicial or
otherwise—abolition of the sweat
shop, and the preservation and con
servation of natural resources for
the benefit of the workers, and by
the workers, to the end that true
democracy, the foundation of our
Government, may be realized. These
are, in pert, some of our demands,
and principles for which we fight.
Into the maelstrom of world war
our country was carried; cot a war
of our making or our seeking, but
a war of extension of markets and
of power; and though a nation of
complexity of peoples, wc are lovers
of peace. Still, in order to protect
that peace, maintain our principles,
our interests, and our ideals, wo
entered the war against autocracy,
and what< ver our personal views
might have been, they must be
e,m-.lgamatcd into a common pur-r
pose, tho quick and successful tor
mination of the war, in order thatj
the terribl slaughter cf human 1 ifo (
may be stopped. t
Into this war was brought the!
workers, the greater built of our)
people, organization of everybody j
ai d everything, because, a necessity
bn order that our vast resources
could be brought together of the
many organizations called on to lend
its moral, financial, aye, its every
member was the Organized Labor
Movement as represented in and a
part of the American Federation
cf Labor.
The American Federation of Labor
through its affiliation organizations,
has loyally supported our Govern
ment in all of its moves of the war.
One of a fair mind ancl a lover of
justice has but to sec the num
bers of our workers fighting, pre
paring to, or willing when the time
comes to give their very lives,or
the way that we, in proportion to
our resources, subscribe to tho two
issues of the Liberty Bonds, the War
Savings stamps, far greater in pro
portion than the mouthy patriots
•who, in their lust for money, have
gone through rivers of blood in or
der that their greed might be. sat
isfied; and, on the other hand, have
left no stone unturned, no avenue
open, and with the subsidized press
Kn their control, have sought to dis
credit and to keep under foot the
workers who would be so ungrateful
as to ask for a just wage for tlioif
labors, and when they do, to loudly
proclaim that they are pro-German
and against the Government, while
they go on washing their hands in
the best blood of the land and fran
tically wrave the flag lest they be
discovered in their hypocricy.
In Tacoma we have 16,000 or
ganized workers now, and more
are coming into our organization
at the rate of 800 a month, and out
of this number of men and women
it would be strange Indeed if there
were not traitors. The organized
workers in this city are loyal ana
have been with and for our Govern
ment since the was began; and its
officers and members, as a whole,
have gone all the way in aiding
and assisting in every way possible
our President. No place in the
land, with the membership of ours,
has done any more, or will yet do
more than the workers ot our tair!
city; but it is of the traitors, the
pacifists, the pro-everything, that
we wish to tell all, that we disown
them, and will r.pew them out as aj
thing unclean and unfit to sit fn |
the councils of the loyal workers, i
In our city there exists <the deadly I
vipers, the. hidden traitors with j
their unseen hands, with desires for
that which we seek to rid the world
of, leading the poor weaklings by
false and specious reasoning into
believing that their purpose is hon
est. We wish, as a body, to warn
them that we will not have Hem
in our body, no matter what reason
they may have, because there can
be no reason that can excuse their
action. Everything done to hinder
in any way to prolong the war,
and makes of them murderers, be
cause our brothers’, our fathers’,
our sisters’ and our own lives are at
stake, and loyal organized work
ers of this city are with our Presi
dent and our Country to the end,
no matter by whom or what caused
•the war.
Trusting all will appreciate the j
loyalty of our workers, and again!
warning our workers to keep’away!
from anybody or anything which
would prolong for one instant the
terrible slaughter, I am Respectfully'
yours in Unionism and true Democ-j
racy.
JOSEPH H. LYONS j
Secretary Central Labor Council, i
Wc, the Board of Business Rep-1
rcsentatives, in regular session en-j
dorse and approve the above, and
recommend that any member of or
ganized labor who will knowingly
attend a meeting or become a mem
ber of any party, by whatsoever
name, that in any way seeks to ob
struct or hinder the carrying out
of the purpose of our President, and
this applies to any so-called peace
party, and tl^.t they, if a delegate
to our councils, be unseated, and
that all local unions be asked to take
their union cards, from them, and
further, forever disown them as un
worthy of the company of loyal
men, for they are traitors and mur
derers in name and in fact; and
that we cause this to be printed in
the local daily papers and four
successive issues of The Labor Ad
vocate, that all may be warned,
for thoy are not of us.
Signed by full Board of Busi
ness Representatives.

NO AUTHORITY FOR TAKING
CONTROL OK RAILROADS
LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 3 (By
Mail.)—Federal Judge Walter
I Evans, in the course of an opinion,
rendered here yesterday denying the
federal court’s exclusive jurisdiction
in damage suits against traDsporta
! tion companies solely because they
are under the government control,
i indicating that he had failed to find
any statute authorizing Director
General McAdoo to take control of
the railroads of the country. The
text of the opinion is:
“Under no established rule of in
1 terpretation can it be doubted that
Congress authoized, in time of war,
the war department and no other
to take over the railroads. If we
I assume (which is inconceivable)
that the secretary of war declined
for that department, I can find no
statute authorizing the control of
the railroads under the treasury
department or by a director-general
of railroads.”
Judge Evans cites the law em
powering the government to take
over the railroads, pointing out that
Congress specified it should be
done through the war department
of which Mt. Newton D. Baker is
the head, and asserted that William
G. McAdoo, “who was and is secre
tary of the treasury,” has been ap
pointed by President Wtilson as
director-general, an office which the
court says the law does not recog
j nize. After remarking it is incon
[ ceivable the war department was
i asked to refuse to take over the
railroads, Judge Evans declares that
| “if the letter of the law were ap
plied, it would be a question wheth
er Baker and not McAdoo, would be
compelled to operate the railroads
in person.”
