WHEN ONE MAN
STOPS THE GAME
(By Rev. Chas. Stelzle)


Did you ever see a ball game lost
because somebody held the ball just
bit too long thus giving the other
side a chance to get the necessary
runs? l have sometimes seen it
in labor hall
Things were not going to suit
the ideas of a delegate so he de-
liberately baked. This did not help
him or anyone else. He simply had
chance to stop the game" and he
took it. The result was another
setback for the cause Of labor in
his city,
OF course, the man who "holds the
BALI isn't found merely in the ranks
Of labor-but he is there and that is
why we are concerned about the
matter. Sometimes he "holds the
ball" because he doesn't understand
and because he cannot comprehend
his opponent he tries to destroy him.
He has yet to learn that it is far
better to try to understand, and
not to silence his adversary even
though his adversary is wrong. If
the one who opposes is right, he
will win in the end anyway and it
is better to lose squarely than to be
beaten out because Of stubborn re-
fusal to study the other side Of the
question under consideration.
When a man makes bold and
sweeping statements, they very COM
monty come from doubt and ignor-
ance rather than from just convic-
ton. The fellow who claims to
have monopoly Of wisdom is just
as much to be feared in a labor
hall as elsewhere He is more
likely to "hold the ball" than the
open-minded chap who wants all the
facts and who is willing to face the
weakness in a particular case is or
der to get the facts.
1t is important in discussing the
social questions of the day to re-
member that we have not yet mas
tesed even the elements of the prob
lens Of society Most Of us are
quick to suggest remedies which are
based upon the examination of a
few isolated facts or upon a very
limited experience. Actually it is
the man with the most limited eX-
perience who is always ready to of
for the panacea-the cure-all-for
every i'll.
AS man comes to learn about the
many-sidedness of life he becomes
less ready to offer plans for saw
ing society. Until the last fact has
been brought out we cannot afford
to be dogmatic in the labor move
ment.. We must be opportunists-
that is, we should be ready to do
the next thing, whatever that may
be. There are so many factors to
be considered that no one man can
be infallible. 1t takes the whole
nine to win the game.

PUBLICITY "OBNOXIOUS"

The fight for publicity for income
tax returns has been renewed in
congress. Representative Heating,
of Colorado, said in the house last
Friday
There is little use in imposing
taxes on rich men if rich men are
to be permitted to evade them. The
poor are going to stagger under
the burden of this war, already
many are feeling the burden crush
ing one, and the most patriotic duty
this house can perform is to place
the tax on wealth."
Fifty-one years ago, while war
taxes were under discussion in the
senate Senator Morrill, was urg-
ing congress to repeal the publicity
section of the wartime tax because,
as he said it was obnoxious to per-
sons paying such a tax"
Horace Greeley in an editorial in
the New York Tribune of May "a,
1866, said 1--WE believe that publicity
given to the returns of income sub
mitted by individuals to tax gather
ers has already put millions of dol
lars into the treasury and gone far
toward equaIizing the payments of
the income tax by rogues with that
of honest men
Basil NJ. Manly, who compiled the
statistics for the Industrial Rea-
tons Commission, said in an article
last winter that the rich were de-
frauding the government Of more
than three hundred million dollars
annually by making false returns of
their incomes.
During the Civil war the rich by
every conceivable means robbed the
government. They forced through
Congress an act which made green
backs" U. S. government paper cur
rency good for dues public and
private, except duties on imports and
interest on bonds" This had the eff
feet of depreciating the value of
"greenbacks" to 65 cents on the
dollar. The soldiers in the field
were paid in this deprecated cur
rency, but the rich bought bonds
with it at par the interest on which
was payable in gold
The rich have not forgotten their
old tricks, and the common people
are compelled to fight and pay for
it, though it is obnoxious" to
them
The governments Liberty Loan"
would be over subscribed if con-
gress had the nerve, the honesty
and the fairness to compel the rich
to pay their share in taxes, no mat
ter if it be obnoxious" to them.
Perhaps by the time we have another
war the people will be wise enough
and strong enough to compel the
financial slackers to pay their share
in the war game.
There are some thinkers who be-
heve that if wealth were conscripted
for this war it would be a very long
time before there would be another
war.

SERVICE AND RIGHTS
ARE RECIPROCAL
(By Samuel Gompers)

The spirit with which Labor has
met our nations emergency is an
earnest of the intelligent high-mind-
ed service that can be definitely re-
lied upon in furtherance Of the prin-
ciples which our Republic represents.
Labor foresaw that participation in
the war was inevitable. It's represen-
tatives issued declaration express
ing Labor's obligations resting upon
enjoyment of rights and opportuni-
ties.
Labor is fully aware of the in
dispensable service it renders So
ciety in peace and in war Tools
rough hew the nations resources and
prepare the finished product for
utilization. The users of tools de-
termine the nations ability to cope
with emergencies or to seize oppor-
tunities. National alertness and
progress is directly commensurate
with the intelligence, creative re-
sourcefulness and spiritual response
actuating the user Of tool. There
fore, Labor has declared that obliga-
ton to service is. bound up with the
right to demand proper regard and
protection for that wonderful mechan-
ism-human bodies.
Labor has been fair and sane and
loyal to principles. No one can
deny that wars have been seized
upon as opportunities to increase
profits. Even before the war Labor
had declared that human flesh and
blood must not be made the victims
of war games, but that service,
whether in the trenches and on the
ships or in factories and in the
mines, should be rendered with dig
nifty and with feeling of self-respect
possible only when services are APP
preciated and rights are protected
American workers have declared
their willingness to do their full
duty in whatever relationhip they
may be most needed. They declare
with equal force that the workers
will resist every attempt to subor-
dinate flesh and blood to profiteer-
ing They declare that at this time
there is no just ground for long and
exhausting hours of toll nor for low
ering standards Of work or life.
1t is evident that in the immediate
future many things will arise which
may occasion disagreements between
employees and employers. Labor de-
mands that there ought to be estab-
lished voluntary agencies whereby
differences can be adjusted. Need
for uninterrupted production ought
not to be the cloak under which
American workers can be robbed of
justice.
Labor organizations have made
known their readiness to enter into
agreements with private
as well as with the gov
eminent. They will do everything
within their power to organize in
dustrial relations upon basis Of
justice that will assure the nation
fullest utilization of the material re-
sources Of the nation.
Labor, conscious of its responsible

give way to scabs because they re-
fused to longer accept the low wages
and bad working conditions.
The fort at Seattle uses its guns
to boost prices and rob the public.
The Kent employees have to stand it
and the public really seems to like
it. The public would rather pay than
to take the trouble to find out why
it has to pay too much. There are
other brands of milk than Carna-
ton.

the obligation chat she is committed
to, here is a nation prepared to full
fill all the promises she has made,
and what can we as a trade union
movement, believing in that princi-
pie, do other than to say to the ma
ton, eve will not only agree with
you but we will support you in your
action" Because, friends, | put that
clearly as against the assumption of
those that one is to adopt the atti-
tude of your country, right or wrong.
Kings and mobiles may make mis-
take in political policy. Kings and
nations may make mistake in their
forms of government, but neither
kings nor governments have the right
to involve a nation in a war unless
it is a war that is to the advantage
and the well-being of the people as
whole.
In the South African war | had my
own house wrecked. ] was mobbed
and bounded from pillar to post be-
cause / felt a mistake had been
made by our people, and feeling that
courage Of my convictions to say so
and do all l could to prevent it.
Therefore, | regard that as rather
showing that we did not approach
this question in any lingo spirit, but
we rather approached it from the
standpoint of endeavoring to ascer-
tain whether our country, in taking
this step, was justified, and if JUS
titled, what was our position. There
fore, the labor movement as a whole
having decided to stand by the gov
eminent, we were Immediately
brought up against the proposition
of whether our support meant mere
ly lip service or really a genuine
sacrifice. The mere making of
speeches is a detail; the mere sup
port of a government by a public
declaration is valueless to that gov
eminent unless it carries with it
some practical sacrifice and recon-
mendation that you are prepared to
do something to back your opinion.
Therefore, the British trade union
movement having first decided to
support the war, Immediately applied
itself to the ways and means by
which it could best do it, and the
first thing it did was to declare
there should exist during the period
of the war an industrial truce. That
is to say, that with the war raging
as it was, it would be madness and
folly to have side by side with that
war raging, an industrial war in our
own country, and we entered into
an agreement with the employers
whereby they, on the one
hand, agreed that they would not
interfere with or reduce the condi-
tons prevalent at the time, in return
for which we, on the other hand,
agreed that we should not attempt
to set up any new standard condi-
tons, and that truce was practically
agreed to by the whole of the organ
lied workers of Great Britain.
