Valued IHELABORP PRESS

(From the Report of the Execu-
tive Council to the A. F.. of. L., Con-
vention In Philadelphia.
There. is no more effective way
to control men than through their
minds. Control over mind-stuff ma
terial constitutes control over the
lives and destinies of men and wo-
men. The matter which most large
ly enters into the creation and the
shaping of public opinion is in the
pages of the newspapers. The pow
er that controls the press of Ameri-
ca determines to a large extent poll
tlcal. social and economic develop
ment. A truth can make or break
a sentiment. A truth has the power
to move the heart of man to com
passion or to fire his soul with some
great purpose. Yet the press has
the power of life and death over
many truths. That which is not
known for all practical. purposes
does not exist. Facts, causes, condi-
lions, that are unknown to the pub
lie have no part in determining pub
lie opinion and, policies. The work
ers have found that in struggles for
industrial justice one element %vitally
important for success is, getting the
facts about their cause before their
fellow workers and the public.
Public opinion is formed almost
entirely by the press. Back of the
press is an invisible power autocrati-
cally determining what information
shall be published and what sup
pressed. That power controls the
great news-gathering agencies. 1t
extends to the editorial rooms. It
Is felt In the publishing houses. This
invisible autocrat owes its resources
to business and property interests,
consequently either consciously or
unconsciously it serves those inter-
ests.
To give publicity to the cause of
those who contend for reform or
humanitarian purposes there must
be press free from the domination
of this throttling control. Such a
press has been steadily growing in
Influence and numbers. The num-
Der and the character. of the labor
papers published today are most
gratifying. The labor press has been
the champion of the workers the
masses of our people; to speak the
right word at the right time of those
bowed by heavy burdens and weary
hearts-the victims of injustice,
heedlessness,~ greed Individuality
those whose cause did not have pop

ular favor. Many of those who have
-ungrudgingly given the toll of. heart
and mind to the labor press have
found reward only In the conscious
ness of worthy work worthily done
Many weary hour goes into the
preparation of the news columns and
the editorials of each issue. The: diff
t1culties are discouraging, but the
. Dor editor knows that every bit
or truth, however small of fragment
tary, that he is able to inject into
the thought material Of. the public
is an entering wedge to blast away
prejudice and Misrepresentation.
Every effort helps the ultimate >pur-
pose-the freedom and the welfare
of humanity.
The labor press has a great work
to perform. Its business is to get
before the people the real news: of
l1fe-the truths about living and
working. The metropolitan press is
largely commercial understanding
for it living and working are
newspaper materials for stories that
appeal to popular interests. For the
labor press the point is to make
truths: about living and working
known to- everyone: These truths
have power to move men and gov
ernments
The labor press must have sup
port and opportunity to accomplish
its purpose. Everyone loyal to the
cause of labor should feel the duty
developing upon him to support fin
ancially and morally the labor press
that has done so much for the cause
and can be enabled to do Infinitely
more.
