This union is now active throughout

member OF the British Parliament, In ex-

classes to organize in self-defense. Good

But at the present stage Of civilization, az

an principle we oppose neither capital
nor labor. Each has its rights. But we
believe that in a democracy there should
be no privileges. Our motto is, Fair play
for all.'
"We believe in law and order We
should see that both are fully RESPECTED

private citizens. .,

and last, of the public interest. We grind

When the OUTLAW strike" began It was
hinted that its real purpose was to hasten
the formation of "one big union" Perhaps
II will prove to have accomplished this
very thing, but II will not be the sort OF
union the radical agitators have in mind.
Instead, Il will be a union such as Is
already gaining strength in England
union which will safeguard the interests OF
all the millions Of men and women who lie
between organized labor on the one hand
and organized capital on the other.
The Washington times., 1920-05-02

by the public we mean all in the com
munity who are still unorganized and who,
being unorganized, are at the mercy Oh
organized minorities.
eve intend, by means OF agitation, by
propaganda, by public meetings, by adver-
tising, and by publicity In the press, to
organize public opinion and, before long
m make n what it should now be-a domi-
nant factor in our daily life.
"The public has too long been made the
plaything of powerful class organizations
II ia in danger OF being crushed between
the. upper and the neither millstones OF
labor and capital More surely still, II
is the prey OF rapacious and superfuous
middlemen.

society is constituted, there cannot be
strength without organization.
"organized labor and organized capital
when In dispute totally ignore the general
community; they regard It's interests sim
ply as weapons for their own purposes. and
they treat the middle classes as shields to
protect their fighting men"
The Inconvenience, suffering and losses
the American public had to endure during
the outlaw strike" has given an impetus
to the formation OF Middle Class Union
in this country. The various mutual pro-
tective organizations such as sprung up
over night In various New York suburban
communities will form a nucleus for a
nationwide union that will include in It's
membership millions OF men and women
who are now so frequently caught between
the opposing millstones OF capital and
labor.
Such union would not be organized In
a spirit OF hostility either to capital or to
labor. Its purpose would be solely to
AFFORD Its members a means OF preventing
their being made the innocent victims OF
conflicts between capital and labor, as was
the case during the OUTLAW strike"

"Our girls are volunteering to learn how
to operate telephone switchboards and 10
become telegraph operators. and still
others are ready TO learn the work neces-
sary 70 keep In operation other public SER
vice utilities. In this way we hope TO be
able to meet effectively any radical out
break that may in future threaten to tie up
fuel or food supplies Of the country. And
what we are undertaking locally should be
organized as q national protective move"
What the Citizens Committee Of Tena-
ny and Englewood were organising, as ex-
planned by Mr.. Andrews, was also being
put into practical operation ON very SINH
lar lines by the Mutual Welfare Assocsa-
ton, OF Nyack. N. y. This association be-
gan to make similar plans for operating
public utilities and public necessities In
cases Of any future similar tie-up.
It was curious fact that among the
women volunteers were girls who offered
themselves for all sorts of service. Two
young women begged for jobs as fremen

The spirit Of the proposed Middle Class
Union would be much like that expressed
by this placard. In any given dispute its
sympathies might be with capital or
with labor, but it would exert its vast
power to prevent the public being made
to suffer in the settlement OF the quarrel.
Steps toward a Middle Classes Union
have already been taken by a number Of
New York men through the foundation OF
the Peoples League OF America"
