AMERICAN LABOR BACKS
NATION FOR GOOD REASON
George w. Perkins, President of Cigarmakers' In
ternational Union, Reveals Methods Of German
Labor Men to Influence Social Thought
of World. !. :: 80" =@<A.. :: r..

(By George W. Perkins. President Of
Cigar Makers International Union).
Why is organized labor in the
United States so unanimously sup
porting the government in its war to
finish against autocracy?
If those who read this article had
been in Germany as was the year
before the war broke, there would
be no need to ask. There would
have been seen, autocracy at work,
intimidating and coercing labor, spy
ing on it, policing its meetings; sup
pressing free speech. When these
methods failed. all would have seen,
as saw, autocracy trying to cor
rupt labor, misleading it by insidious
propaganda, seeking to raise up false
leaders, and using the power of
money and influence to debauch
those who. sought to mitigate the
condition of the workers.
Grateful for Freedom.
All would have returned, as I did,
thankful to be permitted to live in
a land of freedom and democracy,
and firmly resolve, as I did, If our
liberties should ever be menaced by
the powers of autocracy, to fight to
the death; to work to the limit; to
make every sacrifice, and to accept
NO compromise until autocracy, such
as is typified by the present Ger
man government, is defeated in a.
finish fight and the militarism which
keeps it in power is crushed forever
from the face of the earth.
The writer went to Europe in the
fall Of 1913, as representative of the
American Federation of Labor to the
worlds congress, the: International
Federation Of Trade Unions, at Eur
ich, Switzerland. Like the represent
tatives OF the organized labor move
ments Of the other nations, went as
a poor man, resolved to make the
trip just as cheaply as pssible, be-
cause labor has no. money to spend
on the junketings of it's representa-
tives. l went there for work, not
for pleasure.
Switzerland, as all know, is on the
borders of Germany. Zurich was
filled with supposed leaders of the Ia
Dor movement Of Germany. They
were not delegates, but, somehow,
they were there. They were not poor
men, If the way they spent money
was any indication. They seemed to
have unlimited funds.
Spent Money Freely.
Their. mission seemed to be to
spend money. We have always sup
posed that the Dutch treat orig
mated in Germany, but somehow
these men from Germany seemed
never to have heard of it. Their sole
aim, apparently, was to wine and
dine the representatives Of other
countries. They would invite a man
to luncheon ar dinner, on the pretext
that they wished to consult him on
some important matter. He would
find, as found more than once, that
the matter would be just about as
important as the question of whether
adjournment should be taken at IL
O'Clock or five minutes to II. In
fact, it often would be hard to dis
Germ any matter at all which would
warrant this sudden manifestation of
friendship and interest.
Conversation always drifted around
to the interests Of Germany in the

t;onalists Of the world had been to
prevent international strife by gen.
eral strikes in case Of wars of con-
quest. At a meeting several years
ago of the miners representatives
from many lands, an English dele
gate proposed resolution providing
that in the event of a. war of ag-
erosion the miners of both countries
involved should refuse to dig coal.
The German delegation said that if
such a resolution was even intro
duced they would have to withdraw,
for if they even sat in a meeting. in
which such. resolution was dis
cussed they would be tried and exc
cuted for treason.
Feared Their Government.
The same thing has happened on
other occasions. The German dele .
cations always knew they would have
to refuse to have anything to do with
any proposal to- interfere with their
governments plans for world con-
quest, Or face a. firing squad. My
personal experience while studying
the labor movement in Germany was
such as to make. me more than ever
unqualifiedly back Of our government
in. this war. I found absolutely no
democracy in the German labor
movement. No meeting Of working
men could be held in Germany with
out government police supervision.
No one could speak in a foreign
tongue at any .labr meeting. without
first submitting his speech to the
autocrattc government, having it
censored, and being given permit to
make the address,.
myself could not speak at a
meeting of cigarmakers called for
organization purpose because I must
first submit in writing a copy Of my
speech. This would have had to b
translated into German, blue penciled
by some representative Of an. auto
cratic government, and translated
back into English for the kaiser's
minioh to tell me what I could say.
been zone through the day for the
meeting would have passed, If had
consented to try to go through with
it at all. -
Prohibited Labor Unions.
In Germany for years formation of
labor unions was absolutely prohib-
tied. Workers had to meet secretly,
and in imminent peril of arrest. When
the German government finally saw
the workers could not be intimidated
in this way, it grudgingly granted
permission to organize, but under so
many restrictions that any true ex-
preston of labor's aims and desires
was impossible.
Our forbears disputed the demands
Of kings and potentates. Rebelling
against religious intolerance and
social injustice they started our first
great war. It was successful. The
second great crisis Of our nation
brought on the war for the elimina-
ton Of chattel slavery. 1t was like
wise successful.
We are now at an even greater
crisis. We are fighting in order that
democracy, liberty and justice shall
not perish from. the earth. Again we
must and we will be successful.
The time for argument is past.
The pacifist's cowardly. pleas are
dead. You must now either be pro-
American or pro-German: pro-de-
nocracy or Precautionary. There can
be no falling back; no wavering. All
Of US must be heart and soul for de-
mocracy and victory, or for auto
cracy, M1litarism and slavish subjec-
tion..

Prince Max Warns Germans TO
Prepare for War Of Defense in
Address to ReiChStag, Tuesday

Copenhagen, Oct. 23.-Warning to
prepare for war Of defense was given
by Prince Macmillan, the German
imperial chancellor. speaking before
the Reichstag yesterday.
1.-THE whole German people are anx-
ious to hear the views Of the gov
eminent regarding the prospects of
peace" he said but / am able to
speak only with the greatest reserve
and urge that the members Of the
Reichstag limit. debate, as is consist
ent with the seriousness Of the hour
The whole German people have been
spoken to by President Wilson and
this fact gives the utterances of the
representatives of all parties added
force.
To-day, therefore, I am going. to
say only this regarding the interna-
tional situation. The Presidents first
answer to the peace move of the Ger
man government has in all countries
brought the questions of a peace Of
justice or a peace of violence to the
highest point. President Wilson's last
notepdid not make clear to the Ger
man people how this public agitation
will end. His next answer will per-
haps bring definite certainty. Until
then we must in all our thoughts and
in our actions prepare for both event
ualities-flrst that the enemy govern
ments are anxious for war, in which
case there is no choice for us but
to put ourselves in posture of de-
Tense with all the strength OF our
people driven to the last extremity.
Should this necessity arise. have
no doubt that the German govern
ment, in the name Of the German peo-
pie. will issue a call for national de-
Tense in the same way that it spoke
for the German people when it took
action for peace. He who honestly
took a stand on the basis of peace
will also undertake the duty of not
submitting to a peace Of violence
without a fight. The government
which would act otherwise would be
left to the mercy of the fighting and
working people. 1t would be swept
away by public opinion.
There is also another possibility
The German people must not be
blindly brought to the conference ia
BILE. The German people today have
the right to ask, if peace is realized
on the basis Of President Wilson's
conditions, what they mean for our
future. Our answers to the Presidents
questions must be framed on the Ger
man peoples understanding Of that
question. What it now wants is clear
ness
The decision will b Of stupendous
