FREE PRESS AND LABOR.
American Federation Declines
to Boycott a Paper For Its
Opinion.

opinion.
At recent session of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor an i'm
portant question arose and was
answered in the right way. The
Federation was asked to boycott a
newspaper for its expressions on
labor issues, and the committee on
resolutions declined to do SO. stat
ing that the federation did not
wish 'to interfere with the honest
views of any person or publica-
ton"
With all due respect to the news
paper concerned and to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, the
/ question of free press is larger
than both of them. 1t seems al
most impossible to believe that
less than two centuries ago it was
crime to report the debates of the
house of commons. But the
golden age of Queen Anne was an
age of leaden tyranny to the print
er. Men of high intellect and
stainless character resisted what
we now regard as a very moderate
measure of liberty to the press.
The stubborn obstructives were to
be found on this side of the ocean
as well as in England. One who
reads the splendid record of the
Federalist party is surprised that
it fell from power, but partial ex-
planation can be found in its un-
wise effort to stifle criticism by
stamping out the newspapers of
the opposition. Jefferson showed
his political wisdom by neglecting
to use the legal power of annoy
ance placed in his hands.
In every great period of political
excitement we have witnessed the
old desire of politicians to interfere
with the liberty of the press. All
good citizens believe that there is
q boundary that must be respected,
and some excellent persons have in
their zeal for worthy causes forgot
ten the value of liberty. Sour
rilous scribes have angered many
people, and, indeed, if the old re-
pressive laws are ever re-enacted it
will be because offensive publica-
tions have undone themselves.
Nevertheless the good results of an
untrammeled press have been seen
in a thousand directions. The
fear of newspaper exposure is con-
tinually before the transgressor's
eyes, and innumerable acts of
cruelty are prevented by the dread
that the evil deed, if done, will be
scattered before the entire COM
munity.
Labor organizations are of all
societies least able to ignore or
violate the rights of the press.
Years after the newspapers had
won their great battle labor was
still bound by the old conspiracy
laws. The right to organize, the
mechanics lien, the employers liza
bility statutes, the acts requiring
safety appliances, are recent tri-
umphs. All these triumphs were
won and held because of free
press.
There never was time when
wise and conservative labor organi-
cations were more needed than
they are today. Vast combinations
of capital ought to be balanced by
strong bodies of laboring men.
But if labor organizations should
forget that free press made them
possible and should copy the fool
lsh tactics of the past the results
would be saddening to every true
friend of labor.-Philadelphia
Ledger.
