WILL LABOR BE HOODWINKED
BY THE |. w. w. LEADERS?

II q few dozen LWw in the Chicago convention can
throw the United States into general strike because OF
Mooney then It is high time We let the strike come It Is
tine for q test Of strength
The Herald does not believe the real backbone OF ne
Ibr interests in this country would back any such stTke
= oul5 hate to be compelled form such opinion Of
he 7,l lsboring men Of the country. We do not believe
m radicals Who we're able control the Chicago eOnven-
tiou can control the working Of the United States
thew can do So then let's find it ont If every time man
e r,rieted some organization Of is going to rise up
and tteut to intmidate country and the courts, we
might as ven it. If the unions are going to can
general strike every time union man is convicted tnen
Why shouldn't the bankers call strike every time banker
gets into trouble the MethOdists call one every time
Methodist is arrested and so on ad infnitu, until We are
really thrown into the th1oes Of Bolshevs and not and
anarchy rule US? -,
years ago almost outspoken IN their support OF tn
McNsmsras-uutl the two brszen murdeTers confessed
their zuir Even then nobody heard any loud oenuncia-
tcus Of their work. from the ranks that had been support
ing them and even collecting funds Tor IneI eelenee
outstanding all this The Herald does not DeeVe that n
majority Of union laboring men stand Tor violence ouu
suv allow themselves to be moved to pity and compass
sion By the loud walls Of the professional agators whose
bs5 and ttsr depeud upon their skill as trouble makers
Toe many Of this type active N labor eres OF tn
country They hurting the real laborer Following as
he too often does the lead Of these loud mouthed aator
be lets the world think he is Of the same type; he allows
bis fingers be used TO pluck chestnuts from the asnes
the world looks upon him as no better tha the agI
tor he
II the sboTing viii stop and think he VIII see that
hs Is being led many vital matters he Is not moving
forward Of his OWE free viii but Is being influenced BY his
self constituted leaders These self constituted leadeIs
are slick lot inst certain leaders Of the financial N
tsrssts are slick lot The laboring viii do well to
keep as close an eye upon his self imposed labor Headers
as upou the who dominant IN the fields Of inter
es that great bugabO0 used consistently and perstent
BY the labor agitator-
How many Of these labor leaders real working
en2 How many Of them follow the trades they profess to
representa- Quite often they have soft jobs the side; if
not then the One Of these self imposed leaders
gers into JOB and he holds II for years and years He
makes business to pirate about the poor working man
and the Arrogant rch" Everything that happens, to
Judge BY his words, is blow at the working and
direct benefit -the interests He breaches discomfort
and hatred
Instead Of attempting have his fellow worlmen get
peace with their employers; instead Of talking srbi-
trzon and good fellowship and community interest he
breaches the power = the strike To make his job
he wants 10 show the working that he is their Moses
the who into the future able LEAD
He keeps IN his job and is paid for his nouhngs rather
than Tor his actions
II Is such these who causing the trouble in
the United States between employer and employee It is
such these who have brought about the decision
Chicago strike If trial is not granted to Mooney
at San Francisco The Herald does believe the union
Of the country going to back such thing but If
they do not speak AGAINST It in their behalf then let
TIE strike It is time find out the agtators are
going this country; If anarchy succeed law;
mobs instead Of the judiciary wiz "usceD in
the FUTURE courts to be eoeroed and prosecutors
frightened out Of doing their duty.
