YORKEY’S
HAYWOOD SPEAKS
IN ALLENTOWN
0000000009000
Workers have right
to beg, borrow
or steal.
Allentown, Pa., —William D. Hay
wood, the secretary of the Western
Federation of Miners, and the man
who was the center of attention in the
great battle of labor and capital In
Idaho for the past few years,last even
ing appeared before an audience of
several hundred men and women
in Saenger Hall and in a ringing speech
did not duck the question that be
says both William H. Taft and Wil
liam J. Bryan dodged: “What shall
a man do if he is starving?’’ Bryan
took a column in a newspaper to evade
the question while Taft took the other
extreme and answered it in a single
sentence that still left the question
open,God only knows. Haywood stuck
to the advise given to a Philadelphia
audience this week—“Beg borrow
or steal. ” Haywood, in addition to
giving an answer to this question gave
an interesting talk on the recent trou
bles in Colorado and Idaho and the
trial that he was a central figure in.
He severely scored the courts, federal
and state, which the labor element
have been compelled to battle and the
civic authorities, all of which he de
clares were arrayed against him in
the fight.
His address was full of striking epi
grams as : “When the bankers were
starving in the recent financial crisis,
they appealed to the government.
When the laboring man is starving
why dare be not appeal to the govern
ment and be helped as were the bank
ers?” ,
“A man must follow the laws of na
ture. Self preservation is the first
iustiupt. If he is starving and there
is no other alternative he dare beg,
borrow, or steal. ’ ’
“It is wrong to steal coal to keep
the babies wram. If you steal the
franchises to the Pbildelphia streets,
you can be elected to the United
States Senate”.'
TheWestern Federation of miners was
born in jail and many of its members
spend most of their time there.”
“When St. Patrick drove the snakes
out of Ireland he sent one over here.
His name was Me Partland. ”
Mr. Haywood upon opening, at
once referred to the speech that has
caused so much stir in the newspapers.
He said: “I have no apology to
make for articles that have been ap
pearing in the Philadelphia papers.
But I want to tell you under just
what circumstances those remarks
were made.
“I did say that a man has a right to
steal undejq certain circumstances and
it came about like this:
“A man who is likely to be a presi
dential candidate was asked in New
York what a man should do if he was
starving. Mr. Taft replied: ‘God
only knows. ’
The same question was asked of W.
J. Bryan and he took an entire col
umn in the newspapers to never get
near or answer the question.
It put me in mind of Bourke Coch
ran, who compared the speech with a
stream, thouasnds of miles long and
only a foot deep.
“Neither of these men were suffic
iently informed on a sociolgieal ques
tion to answer this query.
“When the financial crisis came
last fall, the capitalists and bankers
'appealed to the gvernment when they
were starving. Cortelyou threw the
people’s money into Wall street to
dam up the Johnstown flood of water
squeezed out of the securities.
Whydid not Taft reply to the ques
tion ‘Let the starving man appeal, as
the banker did, to the nation?’
“Isay, appeal to the oity, the state,
the nation?’ The working class has
the right and the desire to work. If
the unemployed secure no relief from
the government then they must fol
low the instinct of self preservation.
They have the right to take advantage
of the first law of nature, self pro
tection. The working class has the
right to beg, borrow, or steal.
“In the wartime when the people
were starving, Lincoln said ‘Break
open the warehouses, ’ and the next
day flour was back at a rational figure.
“During the London dock strike,
Cardnal Manning said it would be
pardonable if a man who was starving
committed theft. So you see I am
not without precedent in advocating
the law of self protection..
If your children were starvnig and
there was no way to save them exoept
by theft, I would not trust yon If you
did not commit the got.
|“Tbis is exactly what I said in'Miil
adelphia and that’s what the news
papers of that city are so much agi
tated about.
“Just think of it! Ahead of any
newspaper in Philadelphia talking
to me about stealing. When anybody,
or any newspaper in this whole laud
talks of graft they quote Philadelphia's
city-hall and Harrisburg’s state oap
itak .
“Its a crime to steal coal to keep
the babies warm, but if you can steal
the franchises for street railways in
Philadelphia you can be elected to the
United States senate.
“Colorado can provide for half the
population of this uaton. There is
tbe wealth of nations in her moun
tains. We are throttled however by
the corporations in the development
of it.
There is gold in the hills and it is
always worth 820.67 aa ounce. The
minute we laborers want greater wages,
shorter hours, we attack the corpor
ations in their only sore spot, the
pocketbook.
“The Western Federation at Miners
was born in jail, and rnanyof its mem
bers have been there eyery since.”
Haywood continued with h narrative
of tbe strikes in the western mining
reigion in which the mine owners ap
pealed for troops when Southern Col
orado began to make the mine own
ers enforce the law, the troops were
sent out to make the tfniners violate
them. The m,ne owners violate fifteen
laws every day, and corporations in
Colorado are not worse than those in
Pennsylvania”.
Haywood paid his respects to Roose
velt who put him in the class of un
desirable citizens. “Roosevelt is the
best president the country has ever
had. He himself says so. He sends
his dove of peace, Taft, to Japan,
and then lets Bob Evans follow with a
fleet of battleships to clinch the bar
gain. He fines the Standard Oil £>29,
000,000 and the next day sits in con
ference with Harriman on the reading
of his message. The supreme court,
after conference with the winner of
the Noble prize did what has not been
doue since Magna Charta was drawn
up—denied the right of a citizen to
the right of habeas corpus. So after
appealing to the courts of the state
and nation, we appealed to you, the
workingmen and as a result of your
aid I am here tonight.
In addition to Mr. Haywood, Tho

mas Kelly, who was in the audience (
and was*recognised by Haywood, who
had not seen him since he was in pri
son, also spoke as did Luella* Twin
ing,an organizer for the Western Fed
eration.
The speakers were introduced by
Joseph Maurer, the late candidate for
congress from this district on the
socialist ticket.
Resolutions were Sdopted protest
ing Senators Penrose’s bill which it is
contended will suppress the right of
free speech, and asking the president
to recall the troops from Goldfield.
DON'T BE DUPED
That the oast of living has advanced
far more than the advance in wages is
shown in the reports of statistical bu
reaus of the various states. The lat
est it that of Maryland which states
that the cost of living has advanced j
during the last ten years about 40 _
per cent while the wages have; in
creased. not more than 15 or 20 per ct.
at the outside. It is further stated
that there is a slight reaction‘in the
cost of foods, but this has not been ex
tensive enough up to the present to
make any geast difference in the
general.advanoe’ in the'cost of living.
Whether the cost of|living will contin
ue to decrease will not be {determined
until after the fiTst of thefyear. There
are at present more out of employ?
ment in Maryland than for some tim
in the bast ,and should this continue
prices will go still lower.
It is a peculiar fact that presidents .
and governors will submit annual
messages to legislative bodies extolling
the faovrable industrial conditions
they allege to exist, while official
bureaus issue reorts that give the lie
to their assertions. The reports may
be doctored bnt enough is generally
revealed to indicate {widespread pov
ery and suffering for a large number
of workingmen. But oapltalist politi
cians are at home in ignoring facts
and they rely on the stupidity and
indifference of 'their dupes for con
tinued support and power.
