Editor Majority:
Believing that the aim of the Ma
jority and especially the Free
Speech column is to teach and learn
the truth, especially economic truths,
it is important that we should make
things as plain as possible so whether
we agree with the writer or not, we
understand what they mean. We are
told that IN personalities are al
lowed and this is a good rue but we
have no objection for anyone to refer
to what we write or mention our
name. In your. issue of December
20, 1909, an article appeared signed
J. H. Henderson, member Buckeye
55, F.. A. & M. Of Newark. O.. that is
not clear to us, or he is teaching
economis errors, and in order to
have clear understanding we ask
the Brother to answer few Ques-
tions:
ID What is the writer's defini-
ton of Law?
How does he decide that Social
Unrest" is the great problem Of the
day?
go Is discont a blessing or a
curse. ''in our social organization?
5 a. On what basis does he claim
that "bayonets and guns" are a
solution of an industrial problem?
CO Who does he consider the
"mob'' in industrial struggles it
the parties that arms and pays the
"Bulls'', or the strikers that may
resist them? , w.
'(6) How can 1.-The majority. of
labor troubles conflict with interstate
commerce Flaw" Cor any other law)
If where law ends, tyranny begins?
Fl l7) saCn any instance beegiven Of
amy Government Republican, Demo-
cratic, Liberal or Conservative Fed
eral officers going into industrial
causes for causes" in. a Federal in
vestigation?
A(8)- Can industrial. peace be
permanen t unless founded on JUS
tice?
(9).- Has ''arbitration'' ever been
of any great benefit to the working
class-is SO, when, and where?
(10) Are not "all men equal be-
fore the law, now, if not, why not?
f1I9 What are "the forces at
work now" that are enlarging the
breach between employees and en-
ployee2 "
(12) What is the (a) Cause and
(bl effect Of the industrial strife. An
even dozen questions Thanks for
the. Brother for opening up SO wide
| 4 field of investigation--the Brother
lkEan take his time to answer or CALI
ION anyone else to assist him if he SO
desires. We agree with Mr., He4der-
son in deploring public indifference
to the problems Of che day. but by
public, we don't mean any class be-
tween the Wealth makers and the
th-takers-there is no pablo in
Ithatsense, for as Senator Mark Han
ma said that all do work and produce
wealth or live on rent, interest or
profit, We endorse what he says al
so as, to the cossacks, bulls and scabs
| (he. calls them vultures) that are
| used to coerce and intimidate strik-
ers, but what about the Eagles" that
employ these cultures" are they
not "our employers" and very often
part of what he calls ''the govern
ment"? If the Brother will visit
Spokane, Wash, New Castle, Pas or
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry. o., he
would soon find out that the "pres.
tent situation" is not d prize. fight
