"The condition Of affairs at this
time makes it very doubtful. II such
venture as this steel strike will end
where the strike chiefs desire it shall
end, with the recognition of the union
and the right to collective bargaining.
Several gentlemen in 1914 also started
out with pleasant little war which
should last just long enough 20 allow
them to accomplish their ends--but
they were swept along by that giant,
modern social organization. and the
little war they expected to be able to
control suddenly became a world war,
which refused TO be controlled, and
on the contrary carried them along
wither it willed, their protests not
outstanding.
"Tf this thing happens--if into the
vortex of steel production its sister
internatonals of coal and transporta-
ton are drawn, no man may foretell
the result. Conservative and safe as
the union chiefs undoubtedly are, still
living the postwar era Of the petty,
they will be swept aside by the tor

more. The gods only know what will
come of this adventure-and the gods

TIME struggle Of the radicals
! to gain control Of the old
e. unions and ultimately the A.
f. Of L. is the foremost sub
ject in the radical papers. The gen.
eral point Of view taken is that a
great revolutionary movement has
begun and that sooner or later the
overthrow Of both the old union lead
ers and the whole capitalistic sys-
TEN must follow. A typical express
sion Of I. w. W. opinion is the
following from "The Butte Daily

"The American Federation Of Labor

despite its long proclaimed determine

not be said that much practical ad-
vice is proposed by any one. "The
New York World" berates Con-
gress for "babbling" but offers few
concrete remedies. The industrial
conference now sitting at Washing
ton seems to be regarded as q for
lorn hope by many commentators.
A few papers speak enthusiastically of
what it may do in the way of effect
ing a truce ard other remedies or
alternatives. But in general the
country is not discussing the confer
ence fully and seems to be paying
scant attention to its proceedings.

The Longshoremen

The membership of the old unions
understand this, most of them in
vague and indefinite way. Few of
them could formulate the historical
and economic reasons for their at
titude, but the specific complaints of
neglect, indifference, and what some
charge as wanton betrayal, are charged.
and they have plenty Of reasons and
evidence to offer for their insurgency.
"The strike Of the longshoremen is
the most interesting example just now.
Despite an official communication of
Samuel Gompers sustaining President
O'Connor In his efforts TO induce the
mem to return to work, the men meet
their president, face to face and defy
both union chiefs. They openly charge
that O'Connor has not represented
their interests, that they have been

A Labor Revolt

A typical comment upon this most
extraordinary strike and revolt with
in union was the following from
the New York Evening POST:
"The end of the longshoremen's
strike comes as the result of an awak-
ening to that common sense and
discipline with which the permanent
welfare Of the workers is bound IN.
The strike came as an emotional out
burst against leadership. One of the
union officials was physically assaulted
and the president of the !ongshore-
mems Association was howled down in
mass meeting only as recently as night
before last. 1t is to the credit of the
courage and resourcefulness Of the
union officials that they should have
stood up boldly under the sweep OF
temporary passion and have won over
IN 30 little time the mass Of the work.

snt unrest 1t is not simply capital and

His conclusions are summarized
as follows:
y. The present unrest is not caused
by economic necessity.
Y. Workingmen, generally speaking,
are saving more money than at any
time In the period of American history
and in proportion to the cost of living
are receiving the highest wages ever
paid in this country.

facts as the radicals are using to
disseminate falsehood:
"The workingmen Of America are
taking part in hundreds of intermit-
tent strikes because they have become
thoroughly convinced that capital Is
to-day receiving from S5 to 80 per
cent. Of the earnings Of industry. And
so soon as they are made familiar with
the truth, which would convincingly
prove to them that labor is receiving
from SO to SO per cent and capital
from 10 to Is per cent, industrial con-
ditions in the United States would
drop back to normal in an amazingly
short time"

A third radical point of view 10
that of the organ Of the new Com
munist party called "The Com
munist," published in Chicago. This
was formerly named THE Revolu-
tionary Age" 1t represents the ex-
IRENE left wing of the Socialist
party, now split off from the main
body and seeking to form a party
by itself. 1t is in frank sympathy
with the Bolsheviki, whom it recog-
nizes as brothers, and it discusses
the steel strike thus:
For the steel strike is much morn
than an ordinary strike. 1t is, In the
first place, d strike in the basic In
dustry Of the nation; and, In the
second place, it is strike Of the
unskilled, who have not been cor
rupted by craft Unionsm and petty
bourgeois aspirations, as have the dom
mating elements Of the railway unions.
This strike thrusts directly at the
heart of capitalism; and capitalism
realizes the menace.
"The steel strike comes as the climax
of series Of aggressive strikes that
have convulsed the country since the
armistice. Every strike has contrib
uted to the general unrest and de-
veloped a new spirit Of proletarian
aggression. The steel strike is the
mjghtiest and most potential of them

apathy the One Danger

"The Oregonian" concludes with
the declaration that the Reds are
but small minority and that their
strength consists in their organiza-
ton and activity and equally in the
lack of organization and the mac
ton of the loyal. Organized re-
sistance. continued with an affirm
alive policy Of industrial peace and
justice, would rout the Reds. "Rev-
olution can win only through
apathy"
A somewhat similar analysis and
conclusion are set forth in a special
article in '"The New York World"
This writer paints an alarming pict-
ure of labor unrest, comprising 800
strikes now in effect in the United
States and Canada, the coal miners
strike set for November 1, and the
railroad shopmen, dissatisfied and
muttering because their strike was
held up pending the conference at
Washington. Nine-tenths Of the
strikes are outlaw strikes. He adds :;
1.-THE strike hysteria has brought on
chaotic condition in American in
dustry, reaching q stage where It is
high time to call spade a spade.
Whether we like to face the facts or
not, 1t is glaringly apparent to everv
liberty-loving American that the in
dustrial crisis can only be averted by
the most serious consideration being
given to the personal, delicate condi-
lions Of industrial relations"
