"oPEN .sHoP'' CAMPAIGN.

It is evident that there is on a de-
termined effort on the part Of employ
ers-from Boston to Seattle-to estab-
ish "open" shop conditions in Amer
lean industry.
1t does not seem cerdible that the
public mind would even consent to
discuss what intelligent students had
long looked upon as a closed incident
in industrial development.
But the possibilities in reaction are
very great, and the very men who dur
ing the war patted organized labor on
the back are now found trying to
smash organized labor. The hatreds
and propaganda that were used against
the Germans are to be let loose against
labor.
Organized labor welcomes all discus
sion and wants nothing that cannot be
secured in reason.
AS contribution to the discussion
we call attention to an address, If
Father Corrigan, professor of ethics in
Boston college, before 100 teachers
OF the public schools in which he at
tackled the 'open shop" campaign.
Father Corrigan well said: "Capi-
tails declaration Of war upon labor
under the guise of a campaign for the
'open shop has come at a most un.
fortunate time, and will have disas.
trous consequences unless checked a:

winter, industrial depression and un-
employment, the open shop campaign
may have temporary success, but in
the long run, which may be very soon,
the counter-ofensiye Of radical forces
which have been recruited by the fatal
and futile course Of reaction will sweep
away the last vestige. of Industrial

ONE-SDED JUSTICE.

We are hearing a lot Of talk BY
those in high authority and reading
carefully prepared editorial wisdom
about putting few profiteers in prison
as an object lesson. Evidently such
talk and editorials are for the sole
purpose Of -appeasing a clamoring pub.
lie. Certainly no object lessons Of this
character have been forthcoming up to
date, and the future is not promising
on this score.
Recently a federal grand jury in
New York indicted ]. Ogden Armour,
head of one Of the "Big Five" pack
ing trust concerns, on 137 counts. The
specific charge in this instance was
prolteering in New Zealand lamb. At
his leisure Mr.. Armour appeared in
court, asked for continuance, and
was released upon furnishing $1,000
bail bond. Mr.. Armour evidently is

THE REAL RED MENACE.

Inc washington Post, one OF the
most INSCRIPTIONS organs Of Special
Privilege, warns its readers that the
American Federation of Labor is about
to be destroyed by "Reds" who are
boring from Within and who are
acting under instructins from Lenine
and Trotsky.
These articles are from the pen Of
man who during the great steel
strike was Gary's most mendacious
press agent. In those days he. told
the same stories of cred" conspir-
acies. Every man who opposed the
steel trust was a Bolshevist; every
| union hall was a. meeting place for
revolutionists.
Ninety.nine per cent of the stories
were fakes. They were written and
circulated to discredit labor, not to
save it from the "menace Of radical
ism." The same thing is true of the
propaganda now appearing in the Post
and other capitalistic papers.
Under the pretense of fighting the
"Reds,' the interests that control
those newspapers hope to induce State
and National legislatures to pass laws
which will gag and shackle honest
labor and reduce it to condition little
removed from serfdom.
The American labor movement has
demonstrated that it knows how ia
deal with I. W. WIS and o. B. us.
The international conventions of the
Boilermakers and the Machinists, re.
Gently held, were called upon to act
on the problem and by practically
unanimous votes unseated men found
guilty Of affiliating with un.American
organizations.
Investigations then made demon
strated beyond question that the So
called "Reds' were in the great ma
jority Of cases the paid agents Of en-
ployers' organizations.
If the I. w. W. and the o. B. U.
were deprived of the money and the
leadership furnished by the big detec'
tive agencies sustained by the steel
trust, the coal mining interests, the
Wooden trust and similar aggregations
Of capital, they would go out of exist:
ence in ninety days.
If the Washington Post and the other
metropolitan dailies were sincere in
their crusade against the "Reds" they
would join with organize ldabor in a
demand that congress and the state leg
islatures take steps to suppress these
lawless agencies.
When it; comes to encouraging Boil
shevism in the United States, Lenine
and Trotsky are the veriest tyros com.
pared with Pinkerton and Baldwin
Felts.

MEANING OF FREE TOLLS.


The American people expended $780,.

WANTED: A PROGRESSIVE
PARTY,

There is room in this country for
three virile political parties-a conser-
vative party, dedicated to the safe
guarding Of special privileges, a pro.
gressive party advocating an advanced
program Of Industrial and economic re-
forms, and radical party made up of
those impatient pioneers Of government
and civilization who are sometimes at
the head Of the procession but gener.
ally a generation in advance.
Such an arrangement would insure
most Of us satisfactory political home
and guarantee the republic a truly rep
resentative form of government.
We have three parties in this country
today-the Republican, the Democratic,
and the Socialist. The so-called Farm
er-Labor party, the Prohibition party,
the Single Tax party, and the other
minority parties are negligible quanti-
ties. They only polled a hatful of
votes in the recent contest.
In the natural order of things the
Republican party would become the con-
servative party and Democratic party
the progressive party, while the Social.
list party would represent those who
demanded more radical changes.
Unfortunately, however, the forces of
reaction have so manipulated things
that they control both the Republican
and the Democratic parties and those
OF us who are not prepared to embrace
Socialism find ourselves in a most IN.
comfortable position.
IT we vote the Democratic ticket we
are forced to follow the banner of
Underwood, Pomerene, Palmer and
Burleson.
1t we switch to the Republican party
we are confronted by Penrose, Lodge,
Smoot and Cummins.
1t is an impossible situation.
Surely there is some way by which
the millions of American voters who
are neither reactionaries nor Socialists
may be.gathered into party which will
consistently. represent their. ideals

BULWARKs OF DEMocRAc1Es,

Inc trade union movement means
more than high wages, short hours and
improved working conditions. It means
intellectual development Of the mass
It means independent wage earners
who carry this independence from the
shop, mill and mine into the affairs of
everyday life.
And herein lies a major reason fol-
the opposition to organized labor.
The trade unionist is interested in
other things than shop conditions
Every economic, political and socia1
question attracts him.
His collective voice is heard on edu.
cation, finance, industry, agriculture
and transportation. He fights for free
press, speech and assemblage, and will
60 to prison that this heritage is as.
sured.
He creates new public. opinion by his
constructive craftsmanship, his insist
ence on just relations between men
and his vigor in exposing wrong.
He demands that democracy func
tion.
This type ola worker is not favored
by anti-union employers, anti.union
newspapers, anti-union business men
anti"union bankers and their political
agents. xr..
These elements want "contented
workers. They want men who arr
thankful for their jobs, who will per
nit the boss to do their thinking, form
their opinions and tell them. how Il
vote. =:
This is why these elements believe in
organization for their kind, but deny
1t to wage earners. They look upon
organization as protection to thei,
power over the lnorganized, while 8
trade union is a challenge to thei1
power.
The stand-pattism Of these element.
is historic. They never move unit
they are compelled to.
These elements want slave class
not in name, but in fact.
Trade unionism is the monkey
wrench thrown into the machinery Of
autocracy and sham.
