The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1905-05-13

to resort to the methods of the trusts,
the workingnan considers it business to
come out in the open with moral per
suasion-or even physical force-to en-
phasize his right, to sufficient OF the
fruits Of his labor to enable him to live
above the beast-like condition where
ness, the kind which has made Posts
and others Of his clan. Business is
in these unregenerate days
with all that Is selfish and deceitful in
human nature. To be successful, from
the Post viewpoint, in business calls
for the meanest and most abhorent at
tributes in mans make up-craft, false
hood and downright dishonesty. Busi-
ness knows no mercy, no charitable
impulses. The horrifying scene of un-
buried dead to which Post shudder-
ingly alludes, would have been enact
ed just the same If the grievance Of no
pay were with the. undertaken: the
sufferer would writhe in agony until
death relieved him, unnoticed by the
physician, were no recOmpense for Ser
vice in sight-all business, pure bust
ness. The acts of mercy or relief which
business, largely responsible for most
of it. will not attend to are left to the
less discriminating care Of public char
ity-to, the great common people whose
cause Post essays to champion. A
cause calling for Post to assert must
be sore straits indeed. His asp-like
venom and pharisaical utterances rath-
er asperse than defend his cause. Post
don't belong to this cline or among
this people. He should betake himself
to the servile and ostentatious loving
peoples of the benighted Orient, where
he could leisurely and pleasurably stifle
himself In the maladorous fumes OF
his own poisonous volubility.
>. Post 10 Connected.
The liberty-loving, assertive work.
ing manhood Of America is not dazzled
by his conce1t nor their senses over
powered by his magnificent braggado-
clio. Among them he struts unnoticed
and unhonored, his sphere OF action
confined to that Battle Creek agrieul-
tural sawmill from whence he has
drawn the money with which he hopes
to make his presence felt In a small
part Of the world.
Chicago always, so the press dispatch
es would have US believe, fnaugurated
by the striking teamsters and their
sympathiZers are considerably over
drawn, II we are to believe people who
come from the scene of conflict within
~ hours of this date. What disturb
ances do occur are kicked up largely
by outsiders who have no connection
whatever with the strike-thieves and
thugs egged on and paid by the EN-. 10Y
ers' association in order to compel the
calling out Of the militia or regular
troops. This is the first recourse of the
employers. in cities like Chicago, where
were first disregarded all law Of JUS
tice and decency in the shooting down
Of workingmen at the Mccormick reap
er works for no other reason than as
sembling about the concern. And the
subsequent fixed" trial Of the alleged
anarchists for completely in the Hay
Market tragedy, justly supposed to be
the murderous work of the police, and
the conviction and sentencing to death
Of the accused contrary to all forms of
law or Justice.
:.chioaso's Business Methods.
Chicago's business men have sown
the deeds OF disorder and utter and
reckless disregard of law or equity, and
she has frequently since reaped the
whirlwind Of retribution. That the
smuggling, assaulting and numbering in
the present trouble are not wholly the
work Of strikers may be instanced in
the published lists of victims of the
rampant brutality. Hagertys, Kelleys,
McCues, Murphys, O'Briens do not
come Of a race which contributes large
~ to that scum of the body polite, the
offscourings Of humanity, the refuse of
er. The union men, however rabid
have more respect for the cloth than
to assault a minister or a priest Of
the Christian religion. But the scum
Of the earth, brought to Chicago to
break the strike, to perform despica-
BILE service for big pay, are not overnice
in selecting the victims Of their brutal
ity. Give negro, STEPPED in the ignor-
ance and prejudices of his race, gun
and turn him loose in a community,
and there will be bloody work, and
your black man will not go far to look
for provocation to begin it, either.
But lock up men manifesting the
symptoms of the dangerous malady at
fecting Post, and we will arrive at a
more speedy and satisfactory solution
of all difficulties which arise between
labor and capital.
