LETTER TO EDITOR
LABOR AND PROGRESS

Editor Day Book: - Thursday
nights issue of The Day Book told
how President John Fitzpatrick of
the Chicago Federation of Labor and
those that followed him made some
startling disclosures before the in
dustrial relations commission as to
the conditions prevailing on the in
dustrial field.
In plain though convincing words
they proved beyond the shadow of
doubt how omnipotent the employers
are in the power they WELD over those
who must toll from day to day. a.
And yet this terrible evidence and
all that is to follow is as old as slavery
itself, having passed through several
economic phases from serfdom to
capitalism and will persist until the
workers will do their own investigat-
ing and, above all, their own reform
ing"
We are well aware of the economic
power of the ruling class with its.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-07-25

What do we know of the tempta-
tons that have made other men and
women fall, when we have stood erect
because we were strongly supported
by protecting arms?
Are we sure that both men and wo-
men don't have to sin and suffer
themselves before they can have gen.
uine sympathy for others who sin and
suffer?
All this'is in my mind when l say
it isn't important whether the vile
charges are true or false; that Mother
Jones must be judged for what she is
now and for the great service she
has rendered those who have far too
few sincere and unselfsh friends and
champions.
Despite all such charges that evil
men might make, l believe Mother
Jones to be a good and noble woman;
and if all the charges were true and
knew them to be true, would take
off my hat to her for her great good
ness of heart and uncomfortable
courage Of mind.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-07-25

We know she has gone to jail for
the mine workers of West Virginia
and Colorado; that she has suffered
privation, humiliation and what
amounts to torture for the men, wo-
men and children of the working
class.
Yet cowardly editor of the sneak
ing Polly Pry''-ing weekly publica-
ton would have us believe this wo-
manly martyr was an inmate of
houses of prostitution when she was
old enough to be a grandmother
for 1889 was only Is years ago, and
Mother Jones is past 80 now.
But even if it were all true-even
if she had fallen in her youth--even
If she had lost caste and was social
outcast, how could that possibly de-
tract from the service she has rem
dered humanity since?
Let us suppose another woman 80
years old-a woman who was virtu-
GUS as maid, wife, mother and grand
mother-a woman against whom
there was never a breath of suspicion
and about whom the venomous
tongue of scandal never wagged- "a
woman who has lived a long life of
well-bred ease and churchly propriety
Ia woman who has been devoted to
her family, but has never lifted her
little finger for humanity's uplift or
gone out of her way to alleviate the
c11ffnT-iTio of tho DOOTs opd OpDrocCoJ
would anybody claim that such
good woman was a better woman
with all her virtue than a woman of
the same age who had sinned and
then starved and served and suffered
for humanity for many years?
Does sin kill all the GOOD in any
Of us? If man or woman is SO per
cent good and 1 per cent evil, don't
we overlook the SO per cent good and

have a special interest. Some
thing has been said OF the triumph OF
the impresario in assembling his com

tics caused by the war, but doubtless
not half the tale has been told ana IL
never will be The length and thick
ness and tensile strength OF the wires
which had to be pulled to secure the
release Of some of these singers need
only be imagined. But sufficient To TINS
day of evil was the diplomacy OF Mr.
Gatti-CasaZZa and Otto Kahn, the chair
man Of the board of directors OF the
Metropolitan Opera Company.
Good fortune played her part too. for
the long restraint of Italy made 1t pos
sihle for the Italian members or the
Cnmpany to depart without obstacles
which. in the event of the beginning OF
hostilities by the Government at Rome,
might have become insurmountable.
The return OF the German men OF the
company was effected only by special
grace of the Kaiser, who was persuaded
TO see that his generosity would per-
haps have good effect on American
opinion.
And so Tomorrow night the festivi-
tics will begin with performance of
