The Seattle Idea

The strike at Seattle is as dis
uuietine as it is astounding. Union
labor has stood firmly for the
right of collective bargaining.
Now a section of union labor,
having entered into certain bar
gain to work in the shipyards at a
certain wage, for certain time,
repudlates its o wn contract with
the shipyards and the government.
1t is an announcement that
union labor, in making a contract.
cannot be compelled, by moral
power or by law, to carry 1T out,
1t is declaration that union Ia
Dor reserves the privilege and
right, when it makes bargain, to
Withdraw from it at will
Quite clearly, if labor generally
Yields to the demands of radical
ism, tits an end Of unionism,-
the unionism which has made
great gains during the past sew
eral years and which has found
acceptance of its principles, or
many of them, by employers and
public.
1t is grave crisis for the public.
1t is graver crisis for labor itself.

imal of labor thruout the Nation?

HE HAS 100 BULLET SCARS
Soldier Coming Back Minus a Hand
and With Many Wounds.

With his right hand shot away and
more than hundred bullet scars on
his body, Dominick Ciamacco, an Ital-
ian of Dunbar Pa. member of Com
pany X, Three Hundred and Twenty
fifth infantry, has been invalided
home. He was wounded the night of
July 6 while leading n scouting patrol
over No Mans Land. German out
posts discovered the scouting party,
and in the glare of flares" the party
made good targets for the enemy ma
chine gunners. All oI the party with
the exception of Ciamacco were killed.
Ciamacco, as the attending physician
recorded him, was .shot full of holes"
He was barely alive when picked up,
almost every portion OF his body hav-
ing been struck by nachine-gun bull
lets. His right arm was SO badly
shattered that amputation of the hand
was necessary. Virtually all the flesh
was shot from his right leg, and only
n delicate skin-grafting operation
saved it. For several days he fingered
between life and death, but finally he
gained sufficient strength to permit
his being sent home.

CRIMINAL OR HERo9

The proposal to try the former kaiser, small as the conse-
quence may appear in view Of his reduced circumstances. is a
question upon which may hinge the future peace of the world.
No man was ever the author OF a more wicked war, No
other man ever had a broader vision of world dominion. No
dictive.
In his brief hour Of triumph he was devoid of sympathy for
the unfortunate. He lacked the instincts of humanity Fright
fulness, German philosophy taught, should follow in the wake
of the army to insure quick and certain victory.
The path of the army through Belgium and Northern France
was marked by a mass Of ruins. Barbarsm. cruelty and every
horror that instructed genius could conceive were visited upon
the unfortunate people the invaders found in their path.
Art and treasure were destroyed or stolen, mills and machin-
cry were torn down. demolished or sent to Germany. Civilians
were mutilated and killed. Torture was a gleeful sport of the
Germans.
In the face OF all this outrage, it appears to be agreed that
the former kaiser cannot be tried for his crimes. re will he
tried for the violation Of a treaty. There is no precedent for
such proceedings. The consensus Of opinion is that he will be
exiled for the rest Of his life.
1t is claimed that he must be made an example of to warn
all rulers henceforth that treaties and pledges and honorable con-
tracts must be observed.
So far as that is concerned he has been made an example.
Divested OF his throne, an outcast in a neutral country, he
affords the best example that history records.
If he should be tried for his crimes, convicted and executed,
if the facts warrant ii, he would be forgotten and thought OF
only when some other ruler is spurred by a like ambition.
II he is sent into exile and permitted to live in solitary
splendor he would be an issue as long as he lives,
1t might be the ambition OF the German people to release
him and perhaps restore him.
He had better be made a v~agabond, wandering unwecome
over the face Of the earth, friehdless and an outcast, than to be
made a national hero.
Better leave him as he is, Invested of his fortune and his
friends, avoided by his former court, than to dignity him and
clothe him with Napoleonic %martyrdom.
The German people want no more Of him as a ruler. or even
as a factor in their affairs. They care nothing for him as an
individual They have o%verthrown him and renowned him. If
he were tried, convicted and executed the whole affair would
scarcely cause a ripple. "
But if he is to be raised by the allies upon the pinnacle Of
infamous splendor, and the German people made to feel that he
has been banished and yet spared physical punishment because
he is feared, who can say what hopes and ambitions may be
aroused or what trouble may be brewed for the future?
Better let him wander with the %sickening memory of his
wicked glory, begging a bone and a crust of bread, than keep
him for all time in the public eye, with ambition forever kindled.
and preserved as an issue that will not down.
