airy number OF National Magazine, publish
ed in this city an article under the cap
ton of Socialism and Labor Unions"
After expressing his belief in the power
of education over the American people,
and declaring that the basis of right sue
cess is fairness and justice, Senator Hanna
writes:
THE instinct of working men to unite
to protect themselves is no more to be
wondered at than the same instinct when
shown on the part of capital. Now, my
plan is to have organized union labor
Americanized in the best sense and thor
oughly educated to an understanding of
its responsibilities, and in this way to
make it the ally of capitalists rather than
foe.
Labor organizations may be open to
sharp criticism at times, but it cannot he
fairly stated that they are always wrong.
If every man is treated as a man, and
an appeal made to his heart, as well as
to his reason, it will establish a bond OF
confidence as a sure foundation to build
upon. The menace of today. as I view 1t,
is the spread of spirit of socialism, one
of those things which is only half under
stood, and is more or less used 10 infame
the popular mind against all individual
initiative and personal energy, which has
been the very essence of American prog.
ress. There is spirit Of cooperation or
community in interests which some people
may confound with socialism, that is
making Roadway with u.s. but when any
one attempts, for political or financial
reasons. to advocate the whole programme
of European socialism he viii find little
