Some False
Doctrines.
BY NJ. NJ. ALBERT.


misleading press; that mans Intellect
ual facilities have been lying absolute
IN dormant. In the first place labor
is not and never was inimical towards
capital. Capital is an attribute OF
labor lie. the former cannot be un-
less the latter preeXists. Hate and
fear always were in partnership,
Labor does not hate capital because IL
has nothing TO fear because capital
depends entirely upon its producer.
Now II the enquirer asked. Why is
the laborer antagonistic towards the
capitalist, then, i could easily reply.
This hatred exists because there is
no identical interest or mutual goal
as outlined by the capitalist himself.
Some ignorant and stupid and an
occasional traitorous labor ieader in
sist that the interest is reciprical To
which l ask. How?
The capitalist declares that If labor
is unchecked that anarchy will reign
supreme.
II the fruits of labor, to use the
capitalistic argument, is in accord and
harmony to the interests Of the cap
italists then. logically. anarchy is the
result of the capitalist system. There
is no escape from this statement. the
fact stands. that is provided the cap
itaiist is giving us his exact opinion
and is telling the truth That leaves
the exploiter and his advice in a
perilous position.
The labor traitor with his declar-
alton that the interest is Identical is
next Then we ask in what manner
is the interest the same between the
one who works the most and gets
paid the least and the one who works
the least and receives the most?
The only identicalness that can see
between labor union and employer is
that they are attempting to do one
and the same thing-to totally anihi
late the other.
One trys to obtain as much labor
for as little pay as possible. the other
seeks as much wage for as little work
as necessary. This is our identicalness
of interest.
The lockout and Injunction is legal
but the boycott is not Some more
identualness.
When the moneyed men of ane
country have war with the capital
lists of another the uninterested fight
and the concerned look on. Did
some one say anything about interests.
why does the laborer go out on a
strike? Because of that same ident-
icalness of interest.
Why does the capitalist enforce the
lockout? For that same reason.
Why does the laboring man with
enmity in his heart and absolute hat
red for his master stop his work?
Because OF the mutual interest he has
with his employer.
And why does the capitalist, after
the laborer. by the energy of his
for his employer and family, the
mechanic at the same time with love
in his breast for his expecting family
and hope for the blessedness OF health
and happiness. why. ] say, does the
capitalist, by a thunderous command,
ciose down his industrial plant and
hate as monster all that are EN-
ployed within?
Why does this boss with the ap-
ptite Of a glutton for the tribute OF
the laborers toll, throw men out OF
employment when he knows that fam
inc. pestilence and crime will follow.
when he is absolutely certain that by
SO doing he has initiated the reptile
OF destruction over once loving
home? l will tell you why; the in
is identical,-NoT! VIII somebody
ridicule this statement?
Then the middleman, the merchant
and few others insist. that whenever
a labor union seeks 20 enforce it's de-
mands through a strike, the third
party. the public, is the sufferer.
Perhaps so but who is the sufferer
when the lockout is enforced and why
do they not say something about It?
Furthermore ninety per cent of the
public work for wages this majority
is always heart and hand with the
striker.
This same class says. "'Arbitrate
your troubles, do not disturb our tran
guilty" Why not have the corpor-
ations heed this advice?
A meeting for instance, is arranged
between employer and laborer. who
are you" I'VE represent the Rail
road Affihation and we are 500, 1000
strong" We'll gentlemen let us arbi-
trate." Another meeting. who
