SOME NOTED TRAITORS

Esau sold his birthright for a mess
Of pottage
Judas Iscariot sold his Savior for
thirty pieces of silver.
Benedict Arnold sold his country for
the promise of an officers commission
in the English army
The modern strikebreaker sells his
birthright his country his wife, his
children and his fellow-workman for
an unfulfilled promise from a trust or
corporation.
Esau was a traitor to himself; Judas
Iscariot was traitor to his God;
Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his
country.
A strikebreaker is a traitor to his
God. to his country. to his family and
to his class.
A real man is never strikebreaker!

CLERGYMAN LAUDS
UNIONISM

Grand Rapids, Mich.-'I believe in
the cause of organized labor. We are
confronted today, not with the ques-
ton of labor conditions in Europe, but
in our own country" said Rev. Bas-
tian Smits, of Jackson, in an address
to the organized carpenters of this
city.
"The organization of the workers
is fundamental to the growth and
prosperity of America" he continued.
"If labor is to come into its own the
workers must tawe the same steps
which have been taken by the cap
italists. The employers learned by
bitter experience that they could sue
coed only by merging their interests.
The toilers are learning this same
lesson.
Labor has the right TO organize and
it is at fault when it fails in this re-
gard. have no apology to make
because | belong to labor union. |
feel that am doing a Christian duty
and don't care what others thinks. 1t
is an humanitarian movement one
which needs the support of every fair
minded, Christian man and woman or
America"

laries, declares with good reason that
this cossack question has become a
national issue.
At Portsmouth, O., the unionists
told the city firemen that if they
wait their assistance to secure i'm
proved conditions they must organize
into union, which was done. At
Duluth the city feremen are also
moving and expect to get the two
platoon system.
Union folk in Pittsburgh have I'M
dertaken the difficult task of natural
izing foreign workers, many thou
sands of whom are congested in that
district At tn esame time the for
eigners are given some of the gospel
of organization and its benefits.
Central labor union at Lancaster,
Pa, is one of the latest city central
organizations to adopt resolutions de-
nouncing the schemes of the mill
tarists.
F., The pious and patriotic Standard
Oil officials are petitioning to have
militia company established at
Richmond, town near San Francisco,
ano the working people are discussing
the matter with great interest "Won-
der why the workers do not start the
petition?" asks the Oakland World,
and answers itself: ooh, they will do
the joining and the shooting when
Standard employees get dissatisfied
with the companys ways and strike"

Power Cannot Be "CiVen"

Mr.. Frank p. Walsh, best known
as the head of the Industrial Rela
lions Commission, and for his power
full and searching inquisition into the
Colorado atrocities of Rockefeller, is
also editor and publisher of the Kan
sas City Post, from which we extract
the following editorial comment
probably from the pen of Mr.. Walsh
himself, and which he entities "Con

wanted, and did so, it would be the
end of control" by Vail and his ilk,
and rather than have that happen
they would be very willing to have
interstate commissions composed
equally of employers and business
men, That would not necessarily
mean that labor had an equal voice
with capital in the settlements,
though it might appear so theoret-
ically. Mr.. Vail is perfectly right in
abiding to his proposition as "the
control of labor"
Representation" may be given"
But it does not in that case connote
power. Power cannot be given; it
must be taken. And the workingmen
never will have power until they take
it; force" it, as you say. And, as
they have not done it, that is the real
reason why labor, as you say, though
comprising more than 80 per cent of
the masses of the country, has as lit
tie direct voice in our government as
it has in an absolute monarchy"
We do not presume to correct you,
Mr.. Walsh But is that statement
correct or not? If not, can you show
where it is wrong?

for putting labor troubles into the
hands Of employers only. 1t will
be a long time before any presi-
dent Of the United States has
temerity enough to give labor
equal representation with en-
ployers on any interstate COM
mission. Therefore, Mr.. Wallis
plan is abortive.
His suggestion has value as sup
porting Samuel Gompers' idea
that labor in a. democracy should
be well represented on any board
appointed by the nation, state or
city. Comprising more than 80
per cent of the masses Of the
country, labor has as little direct
voice in our government as it has
in an absolute monarchy. Mr..
Vail probably would be one Of the
first persons to object to giving
the wage-earners any more rep
resentation than they are able to
force upon the political parties.
Sorry to disagree, Mr.. Walsh, bu
his is the very situation to whicl
