One Course Open To Labor

Seattle Times)
 The official call for the meeting Of nationai anu i International union executives, issued yesteroay Ill Washington by officials of the American Federaton of Labor, is mournful document ,, ,,naor far-sighted leadership, declared its attitude to"aIu government in peace or war month prior to tne break with Germany and it sets forth the 1act "em few seriously will dispute that labor made good during the conflict. . s q grave situation which menaces the very foun, dations' of the structure of trades unionism ana ana mote the rights interests freedom of wage earn CTS, the workers who form the great mass or the people of Republic, .oa.ds 4aala5u, bg5 l., signed to ''agree fundamental principles ana program which the wage earners will accept. ,o
 The difficulty it confronts at this Juncture Is the fact that the wage earners no longer recognize tne trade unions leaders in the campaign for improved wages or working conditions. There is so much Bol- shevism, so much l. w. W.'ism and so much anarch- ism in the leadership of the locals that the Ameri, too many cases, to the spirit of American ideals ideas and principles.
 Yesterdays statement itself confessed much when it admitted that represen taves of various far organizations had declined to join in the call for the forthcoming meeting
 Just the farmers have drawn away from or ganzazed labor, in distrust of its Americansm and of its sanity have the of the people drawn It stands today in the position its crack-brained
 leaders desired it should occupy-as "class" or two classes in America at this time. with all the rest of the people, employers and employees, rich and poor in the other class.
 America is awaiting admission by organized
 labor that it recognizes the folly, the seshness and the unpatriotc character of the course it has pur sued under radical leadership.
 1 Until it has made that admission, organized la will get nowhere in the United States deeper into the swamp of despond. through which 1t now is being piloted by ignorant vicious leaders.
 The more it battles the more 1s it subjects the will be the volume of opposition excited and the more extensive will be the opportunities afforded those who question the desrabity of its existence in any form.
 Organized labor has but hope of salvation of averting the complete destruction which fronts it. It must take issue squarely with un-Amer- cansm in its ranks!
 It also 'clean house" thoroughly.
 Likewise, it must cooperate in speeding up pro- duction, in order to aid in stabilizng prices. If it does these things, it will start the process of rehabilitation. If the December 13 meeting launches campaign to that end, it may prove to United States.

THE PEOPLE WILL RULE

The apparent defeat of the revolutionary coal strike through the orderly processes Of the law Is fine demonstration of the fact that the Hepuohc o the United States is strong enough to govern her- self under the Constitution. It made it clear that this country will be managed by the regularly choseh representatives of the people at the National Capo and the White House, and not by radical mnorities sitting in w. w. Councils. It proves the futility of attempting to substitute government through strikes for government by law No body of radicals can say with impunity, give us control of this ln- dusry that will freeze or starve your wives and children"
 The radicals have discovered that we already have One Big Union-and that is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the One Big Union formed on the Fourth of July, 1776. ratified at Yorktown. New Orleans Appomattox, and the Argonne Forest This country will remain democracy It will not be controlled by auocras whether they be directed by a mad British King, or a Hohenzollern Emperor or l. w w. agtators and Boshevsts in this country
 It must not be taken for granted that this de- cision of Judge Anderson and the collapse of the coal strike end the for Americanism in the Unit ed State Those who desire that democracy and Amer institutions shall continue to live must be vigi- ant The radical reds will continue to agitate and intrigue Agitatng and intriguing are industries with them. That is how they make their living. They prefer 1t to work. The duty of good citizens, therefore, will not be performed until their infu- and capacity to influence is done for In this work for Americansm and good citizenship for the elimination of anarchy and Bolshevism the working men of the country should lead
 U If organized labor in the United States will look to their membership rolls those who are dis loyal to America and her institutions, those who agitate and incite chaos rather than work and put on guard only honest workingmen and loyal citi- zens of the United States they will prevent the ris- Ing storm resulting from the leadership of the an arehistic element to carry the penduem far that injustice will be done them and their cause. But they must act quickly. They make 1t very clear that there is room in organized labor fol the Fosters and Fitzgeralds and Duncans-or the Sawyers and Fogartys and Kaysers. They must make
 clear that organized labor is loyal to America and her institutions, that there is anarchy or Bol- shevsm or l. w. W'ism in it.

WHY DON'T THEY START

Chairman Hays of the Republican National Com mtee is quoted by the Associated Press saying at Springfield that when "the Republicans assume con- trol there will be legislation providing budget system, developing trade, improving the diplomatic service. providing adequate merchant marine and for better relations between capital and labor" That is very fine, but will Mir. Hays say why they are not busy with some of that legislation now? Congress has been n session for six months. and the Re publicans are in control of both branches Isn't it about time start was made? Are the people not likely to judge the Republicans year by their woFks rather than by MT Hays promises?
