Labor and the Militia
San Francisco Labor Clarion

While organized labor has never off
cially advised its membership against
joining the militia of the various states,
it will be freely admitted there has
been sort OF tacit understanding
among the great masses of union men
that enlistment would not be in har-
mony with the best interests of the or.
ganized workers.
This condition of affairs was the i'm
mediate consequence OF the manner in
which state troops were used during in.
dustrial disputes, almost invariably tax.
ing the side of employers in direct and
undisguised opposition to the toilers.
During past years no attempt has
been made to use these military organ.
izations in an impartial way during pc
RODS of industrial strife. Because OF
this, fathers have been reluctant to
grant permission to sons to join these
bodies, fearing that they might event
ually be called upon by officers to shoot
down their own parents in conformity
with established policies.
Owing to the attitude OF the organized
workers toward the militia the institu-
tion has been an utter failure, in no
sense fulfilling the expectations of the
originators of the idea of thus maintain
ing an army of defense.
IL is now quite generally conceded that
a change is necessary, and that the ma
terial for making good soldiers is not
now available, nor can it be made so, 70
long as the workers hold aloof and re-
fuse to become part of this military
wing of the government.
The American spirit of independence
does not easily lend itself to such
snobbery as at present exists in both
the regular army and the militia, the Of
ficers of which are very largely made up
of Society ladies'" whose main duties are
of n social character. and who would
have common soldier blacken their
boots and cover before them. Real men
such as make up the labor movement of
the United States, will not endure such
treatment.

FATHER
By Edgar A. Guest in the
Detroit Free Press

Used to wonder just why father
Never had much time for play.
Used to wonder why he'd rather
Work each minute of the day.
Used to wonder why he never
Loafed along the road an shirked;
Can't recall time whenever
Father played while others worked
Father didn't dress in fashion,
Sort of hated clothing new,
Style with him was not a passion,
He had other things in view.
Boys are blind to much that's going
On about 'em day by day,
And I had no way of knowing
What became of fathers pay.
All 7 knew was when l needed
Shoes I got 'em on the spot;
Everything for which l pleaded
Somehow, father always got.
Wondered season after season,
Why he never took a rest,
And that I might be the reason
Then / never even guessed
Father set store on knowledge,
If he'd lived to have his way
He'd have sent me off to college
And the bills been glad to pay.
That I know was his ambition,
Now and then he used to say
He'd have done his earthly mission
On my graduation day.
Saw his cheeks We're getting paler,
Didn't understand just why,
Saw his body growing Trailer,
Then at last I saw him die.
Rest had comet His tasks were ende
Calm was written on his brow;
Fathers life was big and splendid,
And I understand it now.
