Steel Trust to the point where il
will be compelled to deal Justly
with competitors. its EMPLOYEES
and the Government, is to build IN
powerful organizations of it's en-
! ployees. This was undertaken bv
the National Committee for Organ
izing Iron and Steel Workers about
a year and half ago. The outcome
OF this endeavor was the great
strike Of last year. Then it was
found that the one force in the
whole country that could effect
lively contest the supremacy of the
greatest of all combinations of
capital was the organizations of
the wage workers employed by this
octopus.
The workers did not win a vic
tory in the first contest, but they
are still in the fight, and the eff
fort will be renewed at once.
A meeting of the National Com
mittee was held in Pittsburgh on
March 18th, where active and con-
structive steps were taken for the
coming campaign.
There are two outstanding fea-
lures in this connection that in
sure success of the movement. The
first of these was the agreement
reached by all of the most deeply
interested international unions to
"a uniform reinstatement fee. This
was fixed at the same figure as the
initiation fee, namely $500. From
reports received at the session,
which was largely attended, there
is quickening of interest among
the steel workers that seems to in
dictate the campaign will go with
a rush when weather conditions are
somewhat modified.
The next thing important in the
reorganization campaign is the es-
Establishment of free speech in Penn
sylvania. This issue has become so
acute that outside bodies and indi-
viduals are asking TO assist in pry-
ing open the halls for public meet
ings in the Pittsburgh district. En-
Outraged by the attitude assumed
by the authorities in Pennsylvania,
the same tactics are now being en-
ployed in Niagara Falls, Buffalo
and other places. Thinking people
now see that this is becoming a
real menace 10 the liberties of the
country.
So the workers are more interest
ed in developing the economic pow
er than in building on the hopes of
favorable Court decisions. The po-
litical power of the workers is
merely a reflex Of their economic
power. Free speech is necessary to
any other sort Of freedom.

PLANS MAKING FOR
NEW STEEL DRIVE

The National Committee for Or
ganizing Iron and Steel Workers is
making plans for a new steel strike
that will shake the Employers As
ISOLATION to its foundation.
Now that the Steel Trust has
been given a clean bill Of health
from the United States Supreme
Court, another instance in which
t is shown that the capitalistic
combinations are perfectly safe in
defying the Government. There is
the one ray of comfort that the
dear 'peepuI" may find in the re-
cent decision, and that is that it
was concurred in by only a minor
ity Of the Judges Of the Court.
This came about through two of
the Judges not participating in the
findings.
Those workers who pin their
faith on the outcome of judicial
controversy should be careful to
see that they have some real eco
nomic organizations as a back
ground The laws that are benefit
cial to Labor are for the most part
meaningless unless there are or
sanizations to compel their en-
forcemenr. BY the same token

WHAT PER CENT OF
PEOPLE CONTROL
CONGRESS VOTES?

1t is said that Arthur Brisbane is
the highest paid editorial writer in
the United States. Rumor has it
that he draws down" each week
considerably more than the chief
executive of the nation.
In a recent editorial which APP
peared in the Hearst papers, Bris-
bane comments on the following
statement accredited to one of the
anti-labor members of Congress:
when the organized minority of
less than per cent of the people,
can control legislation, and now
threatens to elect Congress of
serfs, it is indeed a national crisis. !"
Brisbane's editorial is not en-
tirely complimentary to labor. but
there is enough truth in it to make
one forget the sting and therefore
we reproduce it, as follows:
ut would be a mistake to let 5
control 95 per cent of the country.
But what percentage of the total
population is represented in the lit
| tie group of corporation rulers that
have so largely controlled legisla-
ton hitherto?
ct isn't 1 per cent, or the one
hundredth part of l per cent. Yet
lit has exercised and will continue
Ito exercise one hundred thousand
times more influence than all labor
combined.
at will be some time before Or
lganized labor has Congressional
serfs' obeying orders in the Senate
or House. But organized finance
has long had its obedient serfs in
both houses. Whoever read the ia
nous Standard Oil letters knows it.
organized labor in politics will
possess not too much but too little
power. On election day working
men never stand together. They
don't remember their friends. They
forget their enemies and vote like
sheep, following a party emblem
as sheep follow a bell-wether.
what is needed is party sane
Iy. conservatively radical and pro-
gressive, thinking of the country
with its hundred million people
first, of individuals and groups last.
Such a party should exist, made up
of all labor, organized and unor-
ganized, made up also of farmers
and farm workers, of city clerks
and little people that eat what the
farms produce.
with an organization of labor
or clerks or farmers standing alone,
the union of organized capital can
deal easily. Clever lawyers with con-
stitutional interpretations, judges
with convenient injunctions, and If
worse comes to worse, carefully
planned sedition laws to make dis
content keep it's mouth shut, are all
at the service of organized finance.
you can't combat an organiza-
ton of fifty thousand million dol
lars by organizing any one little
group of men. An organization OF
labor. farmers, clerks and small
business men, including about nine |
tv-nine millions of human beings, |
would be the right sort of progress
sive political party

THE VILLAGE GOLDSMITH

Under the spreading family tree
The village magnate stands.
In truth a mighty man is he,
With stocks and bonds and lands.
He has no need of brawny arms,
For he has factory hands.
His hair is thin and so is he,
His brow is knit with lines.
His eyes are like fox, his ears
Are like two dollar signs.
He never earned a cent because
He owns things, chiefly mines.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night,
We see this figure bent.
His good right hand cuts coupons
While the other counts per cent;
Singing in glee DER what he's saved,
Lamenting what he's spent.
Talking, advising, harvesting,
Onward through life he goes.
And while the common people work
His credit balance grows.
He always has his reaper out
When anybody sows.
Like music sweet unto his ear
Is clink of yellow gold.
1t makes him feel that with the gods
His presence is enrolled.
The devils that he curses are
Reformers bad and bold.
