ADV.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1918-01-31

: Never before has democracy fo1
wage-eaTners made 30 great progress
as it has in the nine months that we
have been at war. If this continues
american labor will come out of this
war with the universal eight-hour day
and with as much power to fix it's own
wages by its own representatives, as
employers have.
Anybody who says that this is a
capitalistic war simply does not see
what is going on. Capitalists are be-
Iug controlled in their profits and in
the wages and hours of laborers with
be help of leaders whom the working
men themselves have put on the vari
Gus war boards.
In no other war have the govern
ment and organized labor worked to-
gether as they are doing in the United
States today. In every department of
government that employs labor or
likes the price that manufacturers
shall charge, there is leading official
of the American Federation of Labor
on the committee who has as much
power as the representative of the
capitalists. The president of the
United Mine Workers of America is
assistant to Garfield, the fuel admin
istrator The president Of the Build
ing Trades Unions is on the Emergen-
cy Construction Board for building
ships. A leading organizer of the
American Federation Of Labor is on
the great War Industries Board which
controls all kinds of manufacture. A
trade unionist Is Secretary of Labor.
These and many other trade union
officials were placed there by the trade
unions themselves, because these war
boards have become the big employers
OF labor Or because they control the
wages that private employers pay.
The President Supports Labor.
All through these industries PreSi-
dent Wilson is enforcing, as fast as
the boards can get to 1t, the eight
hour day, as well as time and one
half for overtime work. Moreover, the
agreements with labor unions provide
that wages shall be revised upward
Just as fast as the cost of living rises
Most important of all the agree
ments with trade unions is that which
gives the same wages and hours to
Gnion and nOn-union workingmen.
Never before have workingmen
9aken part in the actual management
OF war Never before, in war or in
peace, has the voice of labor in govern
ment been so powerful as it is now in
America
No wonder that the American Fede-
ration OF Labor, as is shown by the
vote at the recent Buffalo convention,
supports the war almost unanimously
and stands for fighting it out to the
limit.
Any workingman who refuses to stand
by the great majority Of his fellow
workers in their great work for labor,
Is injuring himself and his brothers.
"A democracy in which the wage-earner
has his share Of influence is coming;
and If it does not come as it should,
