THE RIGHTS OF LABOR.
Divergent Views Of What is Due the
Toiers of the World.

Divergent Views Of What Is Due the
ToIers of the World.
The Industrial relations commission
have gone far afield in their quest and
have sought information from persons
who, though prominent in certain
ways, have no sociological information
to impart.
The replies of these persons served
only to show their degree of stupidity
or heartlessness, writes Benjamin Mac
Mahon in New York Post
Under the former head | class Mr..
Rockefeller's statement that labor's
rights are fully met by steady work at
fair wages. Under the latter head
Mr.. Morgan's sneer, what the laborer
can get-howeyer small-if he takes it. /"
Over against these, ask you to
give your readers the opportunity of
reading the classic-the authoritative
statement of labors right, that formu-
lated by William Morris:
"It is right and necessary that all
men and women should have work to
do which shall be worth doing, and be
of itself pleasant TO do, and which
should be done under such conditions
as would make it neither overweart-
some nor overanxious. The recogni-
ton of this right will change the face
Of the world.
"Discontent and strife and dishon-
esty will be ended in the universal fell
lowship of communal labor"
Morris is gone, but man of kindred
mind-a man with the vision which
Is so manifestly lacking in our leaders
of finance and monopolistic industry
Edwin Markham-is with us and has
voiced the same right in these stirring
lines:
The right of a man to labor
And his right to labor in joy
Not all your laws can strangle that right,
Nor the gates of hell destroy.
For 1t came with the making of man and
Was kneaded into his bones,
And 1t will stand at the last Of things
On the dust of crumbled thrones.

Samuel Gompers.

A mighty man In intellect and mind,
4 faithful man to man, to women kind,
a servant of cause he helped to make,
A leader of band that shall not break.
Proud and majestic when defending right
To build Jerusalem for those who toll
A free willed people and a free wflled
soil
Gives time and talents to advance the
cause
The right to live the right to dream new
laws
That, being born, shall make people free,
And every state a state Of liberty.
Long may he live his message to proclaim,
To uproot wrong and want and woe and
shame,
Homely and free at home with friends at
night,
Master OF words-creator of new thoughts,
True to his conscience--he thus life de-

when l pay Z cents for lunch I'm

a large department store in Buffalo.
A five, six or seven cent lunch, day

the meaning of this pinching economy
If we experimental with a seven cent

reaction of hopelesSness and grubbi-

emptiness from q meager meal - the

at this particular time when the
eyes Of the people of Minnesota are
turned upon the trade union movement
with close and critical scrutiny because
OF the remedial legislation the labor
unions in the state are asking for, the
dictates of prudence suggest that the
aims and purposes of that movement
be once more declared with clearness
and force.
The enemies of the labor movement
the interest which profit by the ex-
ploitation of labor-represent that
movement as one which threatens the
welfare of the communities in which
1t operates. The fallacy of this view
lies In the fact that the interests of
labor are those of the whole people.
Labor, especially organized labor,
eagerly longs for more schoolhouses
and fewer jails, more books and fewer
arsenals, more steady work and less
crime, more justice and less revenge
In q word, more soul in life and less
drudgery and oppression for the work
ers. Its three fundamental demands
are for higher wages, shorter hours
and better working conditions. 1t de-
mands higher wages because higher
wages bring higher standards of liv-
ing, better health for workers, greater
opportunities for children, loftier cid-
Zenship and increased happiness. it
demands a shorter workday because
that furnishes opportunity for educa-
tion, for family life, for wholesome
amusement and for the development
OF higher type Of man and woman.
Finally, labor demands protection from
unhealthful and dangerous working
conditions because they do cruel and
wanton injury to the toilers and make
needless sacrifices of the welfare Of
the many to the advantage of a greedy
few.
Each OF these demands, in the pro
portion In which it is attained, bene
fits not labor alone, but all society.
And In connection with them labor
does its whole duty in the service of
humanity. The labor organizations
care for their sick provide for the
tial contributions for the comfort of
the dependents of the deceased. They
pay sick benefits to their members who
are III or disabled, many of them pen
sion the aged or incapacitated among
them, and all maintain mortuary funds
to aid in providing resting place for
, the worn and wasted tenement of the
soul when the latter takes it's flight
Labor also reaches out It's hand to
help the needy and improve conditions
for the masses in general. It's aim and
purpose are to make life on earth more
nearly what it ought to be, not only
for It's own adherents, but for all man
kind, and it seeks the aid Of protective
and helpful laws in order that it may
carry out this purpose more speedily
and effectually Long practical expe
rience and analytical study have made
the working people wise to the legal
enactments needed to make their eff
forts In this behalf more abundant in
fruitfulness and more immediate in
good results.
Our lawmakers should, therefore,
give heed to the representatives of the
labor organizations of the state and
enact the laws they advocate. For
they ask no special privileges or immu-
mites, only equal rights and justice
with other classes of our citizenship
and a fair share of the products of

A Traaic Coincidence.

In 1865 q German predicted that he
would be a victim of war that would
take place in 1866. The war occurred,
but did not affect him. One day forty
two years later he was laughing at his
old time prophecy and boasting of his
good health. In his happy mood he
bought an old cottage from a friend
and straightway went to Inspect it, In
the garden there was a quantity of old
iron and among it a shell dating from
1866. He picked it up and was exam
ming it when it exploded, and he was
killed on the spot. The prophecy had
come true.

g. montai support borne by the poor
under indirect taxation was defended
To-Day by the government in a brief
filed with the supreme court in the
pending income tax cases.
The brief bears the name of Attor-
ney General Gregory, Solicitor Gen
eral Davis and Assistant Attorney
General William Wallace Jr., and rep
resents months of study by the gov
ernments legal talent OF all the var
ious attacks on the income tax, the
success OF which would reduce the

The ordinary system of indirect
taxation upon CONSUMPTION places up
on the poor person disproportionate
share of the burden OF government
support says the brief in reply to a
charge OF discrimination in the addi-
tional or sur-tax on incomes of over
$4,000.
Income taxation tends to shift the
burden upward. 1t is undeniable that
the greater the income the greater
the ease with which the payment of
taxes is met. Even allowing for the
normal inevitable increase in the
scale of living. he who has the larg-
er income the more easily can should
er the burden of increasing, as the
amount Of income increases not mere.
y the total tax but also the rate of
taxation. At least congress has in
is discretion determined that the
heavier burden can be carried more
sasily by the larger income, and it is
lot for the courts to say that such
classification is outrageous
Answering a contention that. de-
ipite the sixteenth amendment, the
constitution still requires income tax
IS to be uniform, the brief urges that
he uniformity rule is limited to ex-
Use taxes and does not reach direct
