THE VOLCANO SMOKES!
The conservative workingmen of:
the United States should begin to
do some thinking, advises an edi
torial writer in Leslie's, in the issue
of September 6th. Radicals of the ■
1. W. W. stripe threaten to do the
cause of honest labor unspeakable
harm. It is no longer a queston of
work or of wages. It is a question
of taking the industries of the coun
try by the throat and compelling
them to recognize, whether they wish
to do so or not, the sovereignty of
a few radicals who claim to repre
sent organized labor.
In this country, established by
free men for the cause of freedom,
splendidly maintaining its democracy
for over a century, every man
should have the right to live and
labor and enjoy the pursuit of hap
piness as he may see fit. as long as
he obeys the laws and has due re
spect for his fellow men.
At a time when wages for ail but'
our Teachers, preachers, clerical,
workers and professional men are j
the highest, hours of service the'
shortest; when, by reason of the j
war. the world is opening its mar- '
ktts to us as never before, we are ,
living in a fool's paradise in expect
ing these extraordinary conditions to
continue.
When the normal stage is reached
again, and the foreign demand for
our industrial products falls away,
what shall we do with our excess of
products?
Under the stimulus of war's high
prices, who have built new mills, and
additions to old ones, crowding fac
tory after factory in a strenuous
endeavor to meet the prodigious de
mand for Government supplies.
The war is ended, and silent mills
and factories will be scanning the
horizon for something to keep them
busy, if the present mad wage-policy
is continued.
fortunate:;* all that we are now
producing finds a ready market
abroad. Within a few months, the
factories of all of Europe will be in
full blast. Many of them already
are busy, and the competition for
the world’s trade will become keener
than ever.
The price of the product will
command the market, and the price
of manufactured goods depends less
upon the raw material than upon
the cost of labor. With the latter
mounting up, in this country, to
figures never dreamed of, and out of
all proportion to production, how can
we manufacture goods in competi
tion with the lower-cost products of
other nations?
Let the workmen of this country
think soberly of this situation, and
stop the endless clamor of radical
leaders for higher and still higher
wages, and shorter and still shorter
hours of service, and more and more
holidays and half-holidays, with the
resultant shortage of production.
High wages and short hours can be
justified only by increased output.
There is a correct relationship be
tween the two which constitutes an
economic fundamental that can no
more be violated with impunity than
can the law of gravity; it is that
which has been lost sight of here:
it is that which is forcing the cost
of living constantly higher; rt is
that, as President Wilson so clearly
says, which constitutes the underly
ing danger which threatens a nation
al disaster today.
The American workingman has al
ways been distinguished above ev
erything else for his common sense,
his good iudgmen: and his patriot-,
ism. All of these make a burning
appeal to him at this hour to de- ■
ncunce unsound leadership and ev-;
erything of the destructive I. W. W. '
and Bolshevist stripe, which if not
speedily dethroned will bring about ■
a colossal reaction in which the
workman and his dependents will be
the principal sufferers.
Let us get out of a fool's para
dise as quickly as we can.
