1t is well that Croaff and the other ex-
IRENE radicals in charge of the organization
of the state federation have thrown off
their mask in time. They might have done
much harm. Posing as friends and leaders
of union labor they at heart have wobbly
leanings and know only wobbly tactics. For
them there is no middle ground to happi-
ness and prosperity for all classes within
the state They know only the rule or ruin
policy. A radical leader of any cause does
that cause more harm than good in the
long run. Croaff has fretted and fumed
over the fancied wrongs against labor until
he has become wild man. He lacks the
poise and patience and observation-disclosures
necessary for every leader of men, he has
run a short course to a sharp finish. He
has clashed with Gompers within a few
months of assuming charge in Arizona
union labor affairs Only the wobblies
and few of the extreme radicals have
shown any disposition to follow him in this
last frenzied and frothing charge against
the towers and homes of society at large
and the dome at Washington in particular.
1t has been proved in both England and
America in this war that union labor gen
orally is loyal and patriotic and is in the
great fight for Democracy to finish.
There are Croaffs and McCluskeys in the
organization, but thank goodness, they are
in the great minority, else would we soon
see peace dictated by the tyrant of
Berlin.
