In the Name Of Union Labor
The Sympathetic Radicals


bers Of the working class. and their
place is in the ranks Of the workers.
Their recognition of this in Boston
is somewhat belated, but it is not too
much to hope that as nationally or
ganized body the policemen will de-
eide to align themselves with the rest
OF their class and not against them,
as has been the case too often in the
past.
The latest signs are encouraging,
to say the least, for to-day capitalism
is depending on armed force and armed
force alone, to preserve itself. If it
cannot depend on those who have al
ways been its servants, its end is in
sight
"The New York Calp' prefers to
discuss the strike philosophically in
relation to the general strike in
Seattle. From this point Of view it
considers the Boston episode as an
example of old unionism as con-
trasted with the new radicalism.
There was more violence in one
nigh. in Boston than during the en-
tire period Of the general strike in
Seattle, it is asserted. This was be-
cause in Seattle "big radical unions"
were dominant, "permeated with So

Why Loyalty?

Should loyalty to the state, 10 a
political organization, in the last in
stance take precedence over loyalty to
ones fellow craftsmen, to an economic
organization? President Wilson ap-
pears to think SO and the newspapers
agree with him, but surely events like
the Boston strike are happening with
frequency enough TO show that his
answer g no longer taken as axio-
matte, thai many sguided,
perhaps, but not incapable Of reason
- hold to the contrary. We sug-
gest that President Wilson, Governor
Coolidge and those who believe that
loyalty to the state is paramount. fore
stall such happenings by showing
cause for their belief instead of aban-
doning themselves TO mere objurgation
and scurrility.
Far too many Of the old sanctions
have passed away for any critic OF
public affairs 10 refuse the question,
Why? Nor will it do to answer IN
terms of the old sanctions, as when
the President says that the Obligation
of policeman is as sacred and direct
as that Of a soldier. Suppose, on occa-
sion, the soldiers ask, Why If any
m ovement in the world is to be met
with reason and candor it is the move
especially in relation to the state"
New-York tribune., 1919-09-21
In the General Strike

Labor is beginning 10 understand
what this all means. VIII the workers
be able to stand the shock?
"What it means is that the machin-
cry by which the capitalist class holds
it's domination over the workers
breaks down as soon as the men who
operate that machinery discover that
they are workers, too.
IF there IS a general strike in Bos-
ton, the workers will form their own
proletarian police to keep order in
the city. Here the striking cops will
come in very handy. taking their orders
from the strike committee.
"f Boston labor fails to back up
the cops, then the police strike Is
broken, the impulse toward police or
ganization in this country will receive
serious setback, and the next strike
Of workers around Boston VIII get no
sympathy from the police.
II labor does stand behind the cops,
then We revolutionists may have no
fears for the future
This strike is the crucial test of
the A. f. Of L. If it fails to support
the police, then it frankly admits that
1t is not working class organization,
but d tool Of the Capitalist State"
The Nation paints vivid pict-
ure Of world disorder rampant in
this country, and insists that loyalty
to the state can no longer be taken
for granted:
New-York tribune., 1919-09-21
Striking Terror

"The significance of strike Of the
forces of law and order, so-called, lies
in the fact that the policemen have
always looked upon themselves as
privileged class, and, in fact, have been
one of the bulwarks Of the existing
order.
Nothing strikes such terror TO the
hearts Of the exploiters as the de-
fection of a group that has always
stood as buffer between them and
an outraged and aroused working class.

40 ISSUE that has arisen
~ since the end Of the war
Y has united the opinion of
the country as has the Bos-
ton police strike. Barring the. radi-
cal papers and magazines, the press
Is unanimous in condemning the
yalkout in the strongest terms as
an act of treachery and desertion
and in demanding that there be no
sslation Of police organizations
With the American Federation Of
Labor, or with any other unions.
Every publicly expressed opinion,

GUS epithets.
The general view rests its con-

solicemen, Ike fremen, are "not in
the same category with ordinary

The Chicago Daily News" Since
the lives and property Of every onc

cities is that the Boston organizations
are stepped in the traditions Of the old
unionism while the Seattle unions ara
permeated with the new unionism that
sees beyond the wage system. The
difference is expressed in better and
more systematically planned struggle,
discipline and solidarity in Seattle
than in Boston. The contrast is a
striking one, though no pun is in
tended
The same point Of view is more
clearly expressed by John Reed in

Labor" representative Of the ex-
treme left wing Of the Socialist

in tone. One of the more outspoken
utterances is in "The Butte Bull
letin':
The strike Of the policemen in Bos-
ton proves one thing: it is that the
United States is passing through the
same stage that European nations
passed through some time ago, but that
here the development is taking place
much more rapidly; year ago strike
of the police force in one of the largest
cities of this country would have been
unthinkable, just as q strike of the
London policemen would have been an
imposslbility two years ago.
