ABOUT DEMAGOGUES.
1t Appears They May Be Divid-
ed Into Two Classes.
The GOOD AND THE BAD,

Some Quotations From the Open Shop
Which Explain the High Purpose o.
That Publieation--A Pandarer to
Ignorance and Prejudice.
II has been customary for the parti-
sans OF capital whenever any union
man expressed an opinion in favor OF
labor to shout sDemagogueg'
In the dictionary the word demo.
gogua has two defnitions--riz. FIRST,
"a leader Of the people by persuasion
or oratory.1 and. second. zone who
seeks to further some sinister purpose
BY pandering TO the prejudice or igno.
rance Of the populace,"
SO 1t seems that denagogues. like In
dams, may be divided into two classes
VIZ, good Indians and bad Indians
But IT is In its renrehenstble meaning
that the partisans OF capital have APP
piled the term to leaders of labor.
If to show human being how he
can improve his condition, how he can
give bis family more comfort, his chill
dren a better education, himself more
leisure In short. to elevate the human
race is to be a deEnagogue all labor
leaders must admit the charge. But
this work seems to come under the
head Of persuasion or oratory and has
no sinister motive because the advo-
cate Is not pleading FOR bis own inter-
est Qnasmuch as he receives only or
binary wages), but u seeking to induce
men to benefit themselves. Instead OF
pandering to their ignorance or preiu-
dice be appeals to their intelligence.
The labor leaders (and b. this term
we refer only to the disciples and nd
vocates Of trades unionism) may we'll
be satisfied with the term "dema-
goguesr as applied To them. for on
analysis Of the nature Of their effort
It will be found that they belong to
the respectable branch OF the dema-
gogue family.
As a striking illustration or the dis
reputable branch OF the demagogue
family. we wish to present few
quotations from the Open Shop, the
official organ OF a combination Of em-
ployers known as the National Metal
Trades association.
On the title page OF this publication
we find its high purpose to be stated
as follows:
"a magazine devoted to an intelli-
gent discussion Of subjects OF interest
to employer and employee"
In another place 1t makes announce
ment as follows:
THE need OF today IS an under
standing BY all Of the iAtuaI facts con-
nected with the labor question"
''The Open shop is published to place
these facts before workmen and ON
ployers,'
