THE HARVEST

II seems to The Star that most of this comment and
outburst on the Centralia outrage misses the mark
To it is apparent that yesterday this country had
two significant happenings in the labor world.
In the early morning the chiefs of the miners decided
to obey the court injunction and to recall the strike
order.
We cannot fight country" said these labor
leaders.
In the afternoon other labor leaders fired from am
bush on marching who had fought overseas for
freedom
There is distinctly drawn the ideals the motives and
the ultimate end Of the factions in American labor
today
The American Federation of Labor, for the most
part is sane It's leaders conservative aw-ahding
and patriotic.
In the West there number Of so-called labor
leaders" who corroded and corrupted with red senti
ment, revolutionary sentiment wobbly sentment-that
is against law, against the nations ideals and against
finally the lives and property of every honest man in
the country.
The Centraia drama is the logical result of awless
thinking and lawless leadership 1t is the natural re-
sponse of weak minds to the Bolshevik preaching and
publishing that has spread from the Seattle fountain
head over the entire Northwest.
Today the issue stands clearly defined not only for
labor men but for all men.
On the side is the doctrine of law observance ms
exempified by the United Mine Workers Yesterday
the doctrine on which unionism will continue TO grow
and develop.
On the other side is the doctrine of violence and Of
hate that is already reactng against decent unionism
in this state and that unless squelched will ruin union
ism not only here but everywhere
Choose ye, this day, which way you will go-and be
sure that the only real sufferers will be those who ally
themselves with the Brick Smiths and their less des-
perate brethren who may fire bullets but who fire
weak minds with rebellion.
