LABOR MUST LEAD

There can be no question but that
to organized labor of America falls
the mission of leading in the great
movement of guarding the human
civil rights of all the workers-the
right to organize, to cease work, to
dispose of patronage, to bargain col
lectively with employers, to speak
freely, to peacefully assemble, and to
petition the government for redress
of grievances.
There are no other means than or
ganized labor by which labor may
make known it's needs, it's aims or it's
purposes. Without this voice to
speak for it, it is beyond the power
of man to conceive what the present
condition of labor would be, or what
the condition of the country would be
were the plans of the general run of
labor-hate put into practice
This thought in the minds of stout
hearted and far-seeing men and wo-
men of the labor movement moves
them to greater activity in their en-
deavor to impress the truth upon the
people.
This thought, on the other hand,
inspires the weak to look with hope
to this labor movement to stay the
hand of the strong, which they feel
will oppress them unless force from
their own ranks rises up in their de-
fense.
This fear of oppression is historic
ally sound. The strong have always
crushed the weak. The strong insti-
tuted serfdom, they established slav-
cry, they imposed long hours of la
Dor, they paid low wages, they found
ed the pluck me" company stores,
they exploited the labor of children,
they robbed the women workers in the
factories, they have done everything
that could be done to oppress the
weak.
Organized labor has come to their
rescue and has remained on guard
in the life-saving station. 1t has
sponsored nearly every law on the
statute books of nearly every state to
protect the weak against being prey
ed upon by the strong.

PUBLIC is PAYING USUAL TOLL
TO PRIVATE CONTROLLED
CREDIT

Financial oracles cautiously hint
that "a factor in present conditions"
are those" banks that "unwisely
loaned money to speculators" who
have inflated prices, capitalized possi-
BILE earnings and decreased the pur-
chasing power of the dollar. These
hints hit the nerve center of finance,
hysterical in war time.
During the war a promoter would
be assured of credit if he said he
could harness the sunshine and put a
motor at the end of every ray and
make the public pay. Nothing was
too venturesome AS profits increas-
ed more stock was issued that these
huge incomes could be spread" over
values that had nothing behind them
but the promoters high hopes. This
process detracted the public's atten-
tion from inordinate gains, as the div
idends were only reasonable" when
the amount of watered stock was not
considered
The collapse came with the armis-
tice, when bankers began their "de-
fation" campaign. This "defiation,"
or water squeezing, was accomplished
by the banks refusing credit and call

ing in their loans. The promoters ard
business men threw other stocks and
bonds on the market in a frenzied
scramble for cash. Thousands of the
venturesome were caught and the
whole structure tumbled, as even high
priced stocks and bonds were battered
to pieces.
The angry promoters and business
men are now telling tales out of
school and some of the bankers num-
mur, "Too true, too true" while all
men are false. The banks are not
injured by the process, but business
men are bankrupt, or verging on
bankruptcy; millions of wage earners
are unemployed, and agriculture is
PROSTATE as a result of this wildcat
ting that is associated with every war.
The only ones who profit by the orgy
are the financiers and their big busi-
ness intimates, who secure the coun-
try's wealth through the "def1ation"
process.
The organized workers declare that
"credit is inherently social" and that
this power over the lives of the peo-
pie should be taken from the control
of private fnanciers, and become a
government function. At it's historic
reconstruction conference in Washing
ton, December 13, 1919, the wage
earners made that declaration and in
sisted that credit as now administer
ed is ''the center of malevolent forces
that corrupt the spirit and purpose of
industry"
"We urge the organization and use
Of credit to serve production needs
and not to increase the incomes and
holdings of financiers," said labor.

YOUR HOME TOWN

There is something the matter with
the man who desn't care for the place
he lives in; who doesn't come back to
it with some degree of rapture and
relief. The world citizen who boasts
that all places are alike to him, that
any place where he hangs his hat is
home, misses one of the first and
strongest incentives to decency and
duty-which is the desire to win the
general esteem and good opinion of
the community in which one dwells.
No reward in money compares in
value with the golden treasure of a
good repute. If man cheats and
lies and steals and bears false wit
ness, he may build up great fortune
and still be plagued at night with the
knowledge that those about him hold
a low opinion of his worth and works.
DR.. Eliot, of Harvard has told us that
it is the favorable opinion of a mans
home town that is worth earning and
retaining. One of the neighbors might
be wrong; but if we take the sum-
~, a +;o,, of ,,,bo4 ,,,oox, .~o eo1,;xo. ,,,a
probably shall arrive at a just esti-
mate.
Merely to live in a place doesn't
make one citizen. Your heart will
be where your work has been put in to
help forward any good thing that is
going. Of course, one must be true
to the immediate family circle and
look we'll to the roof-tree and the door
yard of ones own household first of
all. But that intimate indoor devo-
ton, commendable as it is, may be-
come a selfish sentiment that takes
no though of those measures of pub
lie welfare in whose benefit we all
share. Fault-fnders stand ready with
harsh censure and snap judgment
upon what the toilers are doing. The
toilers are too busy doing the work
of the fault-fnders. They can not
stop to explain. What every planta-
ton of human beings is in need of,
f it is to flourish, is a group of men
who love others better than they love
their own ease and quiet, and spend
themselves in selfish endeavor. No
nan gets the name of civic patriot by
loing things simply for himself. He
must serve the public interest in the
general good, not his own pocket;
while the range of his charity may
.over the whole world, it should, in
he homely phrase, "come home to
oost" in his own Philadelphia
ledger. |

SOLIDARITY

Solidarity means unity of the hu-
man family. 1t must be based upon
a realization of the ideals of equal
ity, liberty and fratrnity. 1t cannot
be achieved by following the prompt
ings of envy, ambition and disregard
of the moral conscience. Tyranny
spoliation, intolerance and hatred do
not lead humanity toward the goal of
brotherly love and social justice. All
those who are willing to serve in the
cause of humanity should not dwell
upon their wrongs or seek to acquire
only new rights-they must learn to
insist upon the performance of the
duties which accompany every right
or privilege. 1t is the privilege of
any mind to excel others-go as far
as it may-but such excellence does
not give a right to dominate, only to
be of greater service of their follow
ers, Solidarity demands from it's de-
votees deeds of forbearance and sac
rifice, not the excesses of revolution
and force.

TRUE TO FORM

AS long as the working class re-
mains ignorant it can expect to be
miserable, and to have the upper crust
laugh at its miseries.
AS long as the working class re-
mains ignorant, it can expect to find
itself conscripted for wars and strip
ped of its savings to pay war bills,
while the upper crust sits safely at
home and peacefully profiteers, later
passing the war bills along to be met
by the savings of such workers as
have survived the conflict.
AS long as the working class re-
mains ignorant, it can expect to be
cheered by the upper crust on the
way leading to the battle field and
ignored, insulted and exploited on the
road home.
As long as the working class re-
mains ignorant (and votes for upper
crust politicians to govern the coun-
try), it can expect to see presidents
going before congress to defeat meas
ures aimed at compensating the work
ers who fight the wars.

RADICALS In TRADE UNIONS
All over the land the "open shop
advocates are crying out against
"radicalism in the labor unions" I'm
doubtedly there are radicals in the
labor unions; there are radicals in all
walks of society Radicalism is as es-
sential to society as coal, oil or cleo
tricity is to a railroad engine If this
old world was composed of men with
old fogy, moss-grown ideas, what
would come of it anyway? All of the
progress made in the world is the re-
suit of ever-active mind that is as
restless as the Atlantic ocean-hence
its purity.
The radicals of the labor unions
don't dc a great deal of themselves,
we admit, but they do cause others to
get move on once in a while.
The unfavorable comment made by
the advocates Of the "open shop" on
radicals" and their pretended ad-
herence to "Americanism, would be
more interesting and edifying if they
went into the matter more in detail
and explained what they really mean.
But that may be asking too much,
even if they knew what "radicalism'
and "Americanism" really are
