THE JUNEAU STRIKE
No fair-minded American will deny
to labor the right to organize. The
welfare of the majority is of para
mount importance and labor has ac
complished great good for the major
ity by insisting on certain rights with
the strength of organization. Where
capital is organized labor organizes
in self-defense. But the closed shop
is being viewed by Americans by dif
ferent attitude. What is it going to
lead to? The public declines to run
its head into a noose until it knows
who is likely to jerk the rope. Labor
claims without the closed shop union- I
ism is helpless; that there are certain .
men who will accept the benefits of
unionism without paying its dues,
and the closed shop is a necessity to
enforce membership in the union.
Locally Juneau has had a strike.
Here a peculiar position is presented.
It has always been a theory that there
should be an equal division of profit
between labor and capital. In the
Juneau strike situation it is evidently
a case of “heads you win and tails I
lose” as far as capital is concerned,
because it is conceded the Alaska
Juneau is losing money. Therefore
that great principle of sharing the
profits is lost in the shuffle and no
thought of sharing the losses pre
sents itself.
The Dispatch is a union institution.
It is the one printing establishment
in Juneau where there is none em
ployed in its mechanical department
without a card. Therefore we can
speak by the book when we declare
the recent attempt to tie up the
Alaska-Juneau mine was the most
assinine thing which has happened
in alleged union circles. We do not
know who is responsible for it but
we do know that the substantial em- 1
plove of the Alaska-Juneau is not
foremost in it, and it sifts down
to outside influence which has en
gineered and carried it on.
If this is so, we say in all friendli
ness, labor leaders had better “look
out.” For they are allowing the
I iliwuv LllVj illU LI U |
ment of Bolshevism, and the public j
will demand assurance before it will :
yield itself to the tender mercies of j
Red leaders. The future of the
closed shops is in the balance. Radi
cal labor leaders are using the closed
shop, not for collective bargaining
but as a gun held at the head of
employer and public official and the j
suffering public alike. They are de- !
signedly destroying the value of in
dustry and driving private enterprise
to the wall. This is the “direct ac
tion’ method. Let us not mince mat
ters, this is Bolshevism.
The head, of the British Columbia
Federation of Labor -declared re
cently that the Canadian strike was
not directed against the employer
but against the government. The
avowed object of the Seattle general
strike was the overthrow of govern
ment and the substitution of the
Russian soviet.
Repudiation of contracts by closed !
shop unions occurs whenever the
radical element gains control. With
out a belief in the validity of con
tracts and a preponderant sentiment
opposed to so-called “direct action”
the closed shop union becomes a
labor trust with a stranglehold
tighter than that of the most mili
tary despotism.
1 he American people are gradu
ally awakening to this fact, and also
to the fact that the four railway
brotherhoods or the municipal police
or any large labor federation under
radical leadership constitutes a na
tional menace more serious than
the menace of organized capital has
ever been. Nor does the strangle
hold of the radical closed shop apply
alone to outsiders. The union mem
bers themselves dance when their
leaders crack the whip, and they as
part of the public are themselves be
ginning to wonder how far they
could be made the tools of Bolshe
vism if their chiefs should say the
word.
Bolshevism will come in the United
States if the American people want
class rule as opposed to democracy.
Bolshevism will also come for a short
time in the United States if one class
can seize and control by force the
channels of government.
Democracy and Bolshevism are as
opposite as the poles. One is rule
by the majority; the other exclusive
rule by a class. Free suffrage and
the summoning of national conven
tions are damnable institutions from
the Bolshevist viewpoint. Bolshe
vism fears democracy because de
mocracy has a higher ideal than Bol
shevism.—Juneau Dispatch.
John W Hallowell, Assistant Secre
tary of the Interior, as he stopped
in Ketchikan last night for a few
hours, was bubbling over with enthu
siasm, seeing a beautiful future in
store for Alaska that could not be
foretold at this time. Everywhere
he went he found potential resources,
dormant and undeveloped for the
most part, and like the others who
came before him he realized the con
ditions are as they are because the
government has not given the aid
to the country which it owes to the
pioneers of the North.—Ketchikan
