Labor and the War

TT is easy enough to bring sweeping indict-
1 mcnt against all labor at Il time when at
,on,ion is focused upon the shipyard strikes,
or the strikes in the arplanc industry. or the
strikes OF the lUngshOrcmcn. but ii is mani
festly unjust to do it. Labor. as a body. is
not unpatriotic. and is not unmindful of the
duty it owes to the country or the trcmen-
dous responsibility that rests upon it. The
far greater body of workingmcn in this cOun-
try. whether engaged in industries or in
other businesses merely collateral, has
shown fine spirit from the beginning.
All this serves to emphasize the indcfensi-
BILE position in which the striking shipyard
workmen placed themselves. Without warn
ing and without any effort whatever to reach
Il settlement with the wage board Of the gov
ernmcnt. these men left their posts. and for
the time retarded the construction Of ships.
an enterprise vital to the success of the
to make this strike little short of
criminal. 1t is no wonder that thoughtful
men all over the country set up a fresh de-
mand for the CONSUMPTION of labor, even as
men are conscripted for military service.
Few OF these men realized, of course, that
only very small percentage of war laborcrs
were on IL strike, and that to draft the great
body Of such men in order to assure the gov
eminent the service of the few, would have
been an exceedingly unfortunate resort. All
that they could understand was that "A group
Of recalctrant carpenters was endangering
the nations war program, and that no power
too drastic to he applied to men who
would be guilty of such act.
Consumption OF labor will not come in
America, however. unless the mass OF labor
ing men force it by deliberate abandonment
OF their government If that time comes,
labor alone will not be conscripted. Capital
will be placed under government orders at
the same hour Of the same day that labor
is called. This nation is in no sense disposed
to compel its workingmcn to serve private in
tcrcsts. They will never be compelled to work
for industries that make profits out OF their
labor.
II CONSUMPTION eventually comes in the
shtphuldins industries. for instance, it will
come only after the government has com
Wandered every ship plant in the country
The same is true of the ordnance workers
and tho workers in the airplane manufacture
ing plants. Happily, the necessity for con
scrption is far from manifest. and will not
be resorted to except in cXtremities, which
are not now believed to be near or remote.
