Entered as second class matter March 1, 1911. at the post office at
(tome, Alassa, under the Act of March 3, 1879
Nome, Alaska, December 22, 19 Ig
The vote by eighteen socialists in
the Reichstag against the German
war credits as a vbtfe is unimportant
Whether they all opposed it or not,
would have made no difference, for
the vote is only a matter of form
any way.
But it shows that the atttude ot
liiebknecht against the war, is pro
ducing in these days of reaction its
roeults, and that the voice heard
only as one lone voice in the wilder
ness, is now raised to many. More
over it is likely that those eighteen
votes represent considerably more
among the German workingclahses
who are sick of a war from whicn
they will gain absolutely nothing
no matter who gains and after
which they will unlers propnred to
resist be subjected to an even in
tenser exploitation.
Athanasius against the world was
an interesting, and daring figure
but the time came when the world
thought with Athanasius. When
Idebknecht with moral courage and
daring foresight opposed the war he
was all alone; today his supporters
are multiplied exceedingly.
The submisrion to a referendum
of the eight hour question by tru
railroad brotherhoods and the
strong probability that it will be
carried overwhelmingly denotes pro
gress in organizations wherein pro
gress has not been a marked ele
ment at any time heretofore.
But the bitter experience of years
of depression and the constant tend
cn( y cf watered stock management
now no longer able to force from
the public all, the traffic will bear,
to extract all that labor will bear,
is producing its fruits.
These aristocrats of labor finci
that there, is considerable bunk in
that aristocracy which they main
tained, and they are getting down
to what after all is the sole reason
for a labor union, defense of labor
against capital. The fact that eco
nomies of operation have been
achieved by almost all roads during
the past year has been commented
upon by most of the financial writ
ers. And it is a remarkable fact.
Some of the roads have bad almost
as much to divide in the way oi
swag canea aivincnns tnis year as
previous years, r. an
c.acrmou3 falling oil ia receipts.
.This was due to the elimination ot
labor wherever possible, and the ir,
increasing of the efficiency of that
labor employed by making one man
•do two men’s work.
(t is a very simple method of effi
ciency and will be just successful
as long as the men stand for it.
That they are ready to stand for
much more is hardly evidenced by
the eight hour agitation, rnd that
a big fight i3 not only possible but
probable seems now inevitable un
less-.
Unless what? Unless the Inter
state Commerce Commission very
kindly and aceomodatiugly under the
•influence of an agitation skillfully
worked up by a subservient press,
allows the railroads to raise the
rates so that the dividends on water
can continue to be paid, notwith
standing increased' operating ex
penses. It’s a system that works
out well in the hands of able men.
Moreover, we can rely upon the
• Brotherhoods amiably supporting
the demands of the railroads for
right to increase their rates, not as
is the fact of .the matter that divid
ends may be still forthcoming upon
watered stocks that have already
been subjected to outrageous finan
cial jobbery, but that they may pay
better wages to, and maintain bet
ter livng conditions for their em
ployees.
The difficulty that arises in modern
industry is thus the clash that Is
Inevitable between the operation of
that industry for the public benefit
and the private profit,’ between also
tile remuneration of the labor whicti
produces dividends and’ the prodijc-*
tion of such dividends. There Is no
way whereby this can be resolved
unless by the removal of private
ownership from the realm of things,
and the substitution of control by
the railroad workers themselves
whose function is society will be to
afford the public which performs Ju
turn other useful functions the
means of transportation and dis
tribution.
As long as the public has to be
gouged for dividends, a3 long as the
railriJad workers are to be squeezes
for profits, there will be trouble In
the railroad industry; but for that
matter so long will there be trouble
in all other industries.
It is this point of view that ob
tains little recognition at present
which stands the only solution of
industrial troubles and industrial
difficulties. It is the only unanswer
able argument which howevei
pushed aside while almost every
other solution is tried first.
It's hard to give up the idea ot
profits. There is something inten
sely attractive in getting something
for nothing. There is a financial
witchery in buying five hundred dol
lars worth of stock and getting in
course of time your money back
and the original property still re
maining. There’s this wizardry
about profit that cannot be gainsaid,
but it’s just as hard upon the other
fellow who is the means whereby
this fake witchery operates and
from whom is extracted the cent
per cent that gave such joy and
which seemed to have 'such a mys
terious source. It’s hard on labor
that to afford others millions it has
to drudge, and yet it is up to labor
10 say just how long it is going to
be the drudge and the sucker that
i piles up dividends while its own
are the dividends of death, depriva
tion or maiming.
