THE SHOEMAKER AND HIS LAST.


Col John J. Ryder, deputy labor
commissioner of Nebraska, is royal |
good fellow, staunch union man and
man of parts. Time was when we
grossly misunderstood Col. Ryder be-
cause, unknown to us then, we were
misinformed concerning him by those
who bore false witness. Then we said
things for which we were sorry af-
forwards, and for which we humbIy
apologized.
AS deputy commissioner of the Ia
Dor bureau of Nebraska Col. Ryder is
doing splendid work. But when
to speak with the voice of the public
official in defence of the powers that
be he rather weakehs the force he
might better be expanding in further
broadening the scope of the bureau
under his charge. On several occasions
Col Ryder has rushed into print in
the columns of the local republican or
gans for the purpose of defending poll
tical action. That is all right. But
it is all wrong for Col. Ryder to make
it appear that because of his official
position he speaks as one having
authority. 1t is then that he speaks
as Col. Ryder, the politician, not as
Col. Ryder, the chief of the labor
| bureau.
EARLY in the week Col. Ryder rushed
into print to denounce the oft-re-
peated statement that William
Howard Taft is the father of the in
Junction But that pronouncement
was the pronouncement of the politi-
clan, not the student of industrial his
tory True it is that Mr.. Taft was
not the first judge to issue an injunc-
ton in labor dispute, but his in
junction orders were of such a nature
that they became precedents in that
sort of thing, and today we see the
result in supreme court decisions that
make it illegal for union man to do
that which it would be perfectly legal
for him to do were he not union
man. To such a pass has labor come
through the precedent set by the
amiable and doubtless honest and ca
pable Mr.. Taft!
1t is because William Howard Taft
embodies the injunction idea as it to-
day applies to industrial disputes that
this humble little paper opposes him.
He is the embodiment of an idea that
spells industrial slavery if acquiesced
in by the toilers of the country, and
all the rounded periods, all the politi
cal palever, of even such a silver
tongued orator and ready letter writer
as our good friend Ryder cannot
change the fact. The decision of the
supreme court in the Danbury hatters
case is a natural result of the Taft
decision in the Ann Arbor railroad
, case. And unless that supreme cour1
} decision is reversed-reversed peace
, ably by the great thinking public-s
natural consequence will be a de
cision that the men who strike agains
intolerable conditions in an industry
: doing an interstate business will bt
t subject to fine and Imprisonment.
l Facts are stubborn things, and or
2 ganized labor is faced by some very
stubborn facts these days. And or
? gained labor is doing powerful 10
of thinking, too.
: AS chief of the labor bureau Col
| Ryder is doing good work. In tina
capacity we are proud of him. Blu
) as friend we would advise him tt
stick to that last and not undertake
the job of convincing his labol
friends that Judge Taft is a friend o
t the workingman.

RAYMOND RoHINs-MAN.

Come again, Raymond Robins!
Your stay was all to brief, but brief
as it was you walked right into the
hearts of the men and women who
heard you Many of them had heard
of you; none of them had heard you.
But now that they have sat under the
spell of your voice, have listened to
your impassioned plea for the down
trodden and the oppressed, felt the
inspiration of your presence and been
aroused by your eloquence to step for
ward and insist upon having their
own. they are proud to know you as
one of them.
There are a.thousand homes in Lin
coin, Raymond Robins, where you
can walk in, throw down your grip,
shove your feet under the table and
stay just as long as you like. There
are a thousand homes that are
brighter today than they were a week
ago, because you have been in Lin
coin and aroused us to a fuller realiza-
ton of our responsibilities as men and
as citizens. You brought us a message
Of hope and of cheer. You brought
us message of goodwill. You
brought us encouragement to aspire
to better things, to demand more of
the fruits of our toll, and to make the
demand intelligently and justly.
It's good to meet man likeFyou-
a man who is of us and with us and
for us. It's good, because your elo-
quent tongue has framed our hopes
and aspirations in such language as
do do not possess and which is
needed to make clear to the under
standing of others that we are not
demanding any more than is our due
as the great element in society that
feeds all, clothes all and houses all.
It's good to have a man like you
come among us and tell the public
that persists in misunderstanding us
just what we mean; to explain that
trying to do something for our fell
lows and for ourselves; trying to
dynamite the novels, not the palaces;
trying to live up to righteous laws,
not to oppose them; trying to build
better citizenship by giving our
children a better opportunity than we
have had
You are doing a magnificent work,
Raymond Robins-the work of a mes
| senger of good cheer and of hope.
You come as one crying in the wilder
ness and saying unto those who have
walked upon the necks of the toilers
for thousand years, Repent We, for
| the kingdom of heaven is at hand.! |"
Organized labor is wonderfully bene-
| fitted by your all too brief visit. Men
and women who have been prejudiced
against us by lying press, know
now that we are striving to lift up, not
to tear down; that we are trying to
help, not to hinder.
God was good to you, Raymond
Robins, when he gave you an elo-
quent tongue to voice the feelings
born in your big heart-a heart that
| beats in warm sympathy with op-
| pressed humanity. But God was
| good to us when he sent you to be
our champion. Would that there were
more like you.
Come again, friend. A thousand
| doors are open to you, thousand
good right hands ready to be extended
in friendly greeting, a thousand hearts
beating with love for you and your
splendid work. And when next you
come we'll turn out in greater num-
bers to hear you. We know you bet
ter now than we did.
