Colorado has the distinction Of hav-
ing Socialist candidate for governor
charged with murder and In jail in
another state. w. D. Haywood is the
candidate and in his letter of accept
ance can be taken as a criterion, he
would head a rousing campaign IL al
lowed his liberty. In part he writes
"Gabberized capital must die that a
free people may live! The demarka-
ton OF the class struggle is a chasm
deepen ed, washed with tears and blood.
which nothing less than the complete
uprooting of a system that has dis
graced. dishonored and debauched the
state can abolish! NO COMPROMISE!
The working class Of Colorado will
unitedly say: There is nothing in ar
bttratlon.'

NOVEL REFORM PROGRAM IN
MICHIGAN.

In another column Is published re-
form program for Michigan which
probably will sweep the state. The
Oranges, which are very strong In the
rural districts, and the Labor Unions
which exist in every city, have joined
In a state organization, along with the
Referendum Leagues, for the question
ing of candidates for the establish
ment Of direct vote in the people
the termination OF machine rule.
We believe that this is the first time
that the legislative committees of Or
ganized farmers and organized wage
earners have come together and have
formed a state organization for the
questioning of candidates for the re-
establishment Of the peoples sover-
eighty The people of Michigan and
of the nation are to be congratulated
upon this sensible move. Practically
all the non-partisan organizations OF
the state are likely to join the move
ment. But no matter whether they do
or not, success is assured, for the ques-
tioning of candidates in every district
in the state, by the state organization,
Twill raise the issue, and any candidate
who will have the temerity to openly
stand for machine rule cannot be
elected
It Is strange that SO simple a plan
of campaign should have been so long
in coming. But now that it Is here,
and under less favorable conditions
has succeeded in Maine, Delaware,
Ohio, Montana and elsewhere, there
can be no question but that the Mich
igan plan will be followed in other
states. Forty Legislatures are to be
elected this year and if the Michigan
plan if promptly applied it ought to
mean complete success for the peoples
cause In forty states. BY combining
with the state program the national
plan for the initiative and referendum
principle, that Is being pushed by the
American Federation Of Labor and
the Peoples Sovereignty League, also
by some of the Farmers organizations,
complete success in nation and state
is possible.
We hope that the Michigan plan will
promptly applied in this state. 1t Is
non partisan, and therefore cannot be
objected to by partisans unless they
favor the continuance Of machine rule.

COMMENT.

It is high time labor organizations
awaken to the fact that they are stand
ing idly by, while combinations whose
prime object is union smsahing. are
marching forward and exerting an in
f1uence which is being felt In all parts
Of the United States.
We refer to the Manufacturers Asso-
stations and the Citizens Alliances, who
are vigorously attempting to crush un-
ionism, establish the open shop and
grind their then helpless employees to
condition of absolute serfdom.
There has been little or no effort on
the part of organized labor to combat
this progress. These organizations are
firmly established In every large city
In the United States, and the smaller
cities are being systematically invad-
ed.
While the right Of employers to Or
ganize for their mutual protection and
general welfare is conceded. yet these
alliances have for their object a far
different and more serious design than
those marking past history in the labor
field. We have dealt with combina-
lions of manufacturers in almost every
line. and as rule they admitted the
right of labor to organize and maintain
scale of wages and rules governing
working conditions. But not until the
formation of Parry and Posts organ
lzations have these rights been vigor-
ously assa1led.
About the only thing labor has done
to check the operations of these organ
izations is to go after Parry and Post
personally through the labor press.
The Manufacturers Association seeks
to crush labor unions: not only to es-
tablish the so-called open shop, but to
operate shops closed to union card
holders. The object Of the citizens
alliances composed OF business men,
both large and small, is the same. The
merchant whose LIVELIHOOD depends up
on the custom Of the laboring people
Is being gulled into accepting this un-
ion-smashing doctrine. He 8oes not
nor will not realize his mistake until
the workingman comes back at him
with busin ess- smashing retaliation:
or in the event of his organization at
tanning its high hopes, when his form
erly well-paid customers have little
or no money to buy his wares.
Unionists should refuse to patronize
each and every merchant indentifyins
himself with the citizens alliance and
thus prevent what will; II allowed to
continue, prove one of the sharpest
and longest thorns in the side of or
ganized labor.
