STEAM ROLLED.

The United States Supreme Court "by another five to four decision has declared unconstitutional the law of the state of Washington, which was carried by an over whelming referendum several years ago, abolishing employ ment offices, owned and operated by private in- dividuals.
 The abuses of the employment offices are known to every man who works for wages; they had become an especial by-word for social injus- tice in Washington, and they were just as obviously and clearly little better than operated by men who

 ses. But they were useful. The,
 kept men away from organization
 they supplied the cheapest kind o
 labor; they sent in scabs duriul strikes to help to break them; they
 in collision with employers anG foremen, quite profitably milked the workers of the fees with a gang coming, gang going and a gang working on many jobs.
 But they are legitimate and con- stitutional and all that. and the police power of the state may not be exercised against them as Justice M'Kenna in his dissenting decision said it could.
 So once again the laws passed on behalf of labor are steam rolled. all of which will greatly add to the veneration of labor for the legisla- tive process of obtaining redress of their grievances.
 f Now this brings back the workers to the fact that they are themselves quite responsible for the existence of these employment agencies. The employment agent is in the business to make money. They adopt it as a calling because of the profits. Tn ere is no earthly compuIsion, except all economic one, whereby they have to patrCuize those agencies and if they do not patronize them u e agencies will die a natural death.
 To do this it is natural that the workers must be organized and without organization they are power less. It is not through the passag< Of a law which may not be ell. forced. or which may be thrown out by some judge, that the work CTS have to depend. It is upon their own organization which says that they will have nothing to do with employment agencies.
 Suppose. for example, that the workers are all organized. Sup pose they in their halls determine that there shall be no patronage of employment agencies that if em- ployers get their labor supply or try to get their labor supply from them, that they will quit work and refuse to have anything to do with those employers, does any reasoning being suppose that employment agencies and their miserable vermin-ridden graft would last a minute? Not st all. And the same can be said about every single reform that labor wants. Organize and you can get it and keep it; remain unorgamzed and even if the reform is passed as a law measure, nine chances to one it will not be enforced
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-07-05

Y, to get little more profits out of their goods some shots above the
 reach of the average man, the in- dustrialists come along with the in- 1 tention of getting few for labor.
 So far that is consider | ed obnoxious. But the in dustrialists point out to the public that apparently none of the farm CTS are raising food for their health or for the national welfare. None are getting out lumber and operat- ing the sawmills or building the ships just to serve Uncle Sam. They are all doing it for a price and the way they have figured it out, it is about time that the workers thought something of their own interests as well, in this national crisis.
 It will be observed that when the hives of industries to use the poetic expression of the newspapers get
 
 tivity, papers do not complain be- cause the prices paid are higher than ever before. And it is in order to observe when the I. w. w. makes an effort to get for the real produ cer what the producers need to meet this era of prosperity and high prices. there is an infiammabe howl against their lack of patriotism and their lack of loyalty and their lack Of principle.
 This is certainly a rather anus ing side of the industrial situation. It is great thing to shove up prices for goods. wares and mer- chandise, fer money loaned, for ships built, for munitions contracted for-but it is wrong and ungraci- ous and disloyal for the I. w. w. to insist upon tie same thing for labor. Obviously it is declared these industrialists fail to appre ciate that this is war for demo- cracy against autocracy, and they think of nothing but their baser selves.
 In the meantime it is not noticed that any single one of the immen- sely wealthy men who adorn this land with industrial rights not with out a strong semblance of autocraCy is giving away his swollen fortunes or his unearned increment to the national service.
 It is all very well. but apparently the councils for the national de- fense in the various states opine that business and profit and patriot ism are mextrieable interwoven.
 Now there will never be danger at any time of a labor shortage for the farmers any more than any others, provided they pay the price. That's all. And when We hear that labor is endangering the fruit and food or the copper production we can understand that an effort is being made to compel labor to work on the employers terms and that labor refuses point blank to work for them except on their own terms. Obviously the industrialists are inaugurating a little struggle for industrial democracy against in dustrial autocracy on their own ac- count and are eXerting their right coming through organization to have some say in what they shall be paid.
