THEY DON'T ALL AGREE.

Not all public officials agree with
President Harding, as replies to his
telegram to % governors clearly show.
The president wired the governors
saying he had invited the mine own
crs to open their mines, asking the
governors to cooperate and assuring
Federal strength wherever needed.
Two governors sent back wcrd that
is worth listening to.
Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Mary.
land sent the president lengthy tele-
gram explaining carefully his reasons
for declining to agree to the presi-
DENTS program.
"The traditions Of this state,' said
Governor Ritchie, care those Of a
people who have settled such matters
as these without the aid Of bayonets
and rifles. It is nearly 80 years since
our militia has been used for a pur-
pose of this kind.'
Continuing his telegram the COVER
nor said, "the presence Of troops is
often not the assurance of security,
but the provocation Of serious trou-
ble.''
Governor Morrison of North Caro-
lima was equally emphatic.
"Your position is practically to use
the power Of the government against
the strikers,' he said in his telegram
"and in the enforcement of police
regulations and the upholding of the
law the strikers will naturally have
little confidence in the impartiality
or fairness of soldiers or other agencies
Of force directed by a\governmen;
which has taken decided stand
against them, however good the rea
son such a stand may be.'
Though not direct response to the
president IS activities in the strike, the
attitude taken by William Allel
White (editor of the Emporia Ga
zette at Emporia, Kan.) is rebuke
nevertheless to the policy of the Fed
eral government as we'll as to the gov
ernment of Kansas, SINCE there is NJ
difference between those policies. Tht

and railroad activities.

FOR ANOTHER LINCOLN.

While the Privileged crowd in
America are slashing wages and fight
ing labor unions it may not be amiss
to quote Abraham Lincoln whose
words of wisdom are as filled with
profound truth now>as when they were
uttered.
What the country needs is another
Lincoln, one who will lead the nation
through this period of social strife, as
the great Emancipator led it through
the darkest days of the Civil war.
Harding seems to be the Buchanan Of
this day. The present division in the
Republican party has it's parallel in
the division of the Democratic party
Immediately preceding the campaign
of 1860. The ultra abolitionists too,
are as divided as they were at that
time. Can it be that history is repeat
ing itself?
Will another Lincoln be sent who
will have the courage to say these
truths?
Monarchy itself is sometimes hint
ed at as a possible refuge from the
power Of the people. In" my present
position I could scarcely be justified
were I to omit raising warning voice
against this approach of returning
despotism. It is not needed or fitting
here that a general argument should
be made in favor Of popular institu-
tions, but there is one point with it's
connection not so hackneyed as most
others, to which I ask brief atten-
tion. It is the effort to place capital
on an equal footing with, if not above,
labor in the structure Of government;
it is assumed that labor is available
only in connection with capital, that
nobody labors unless somebody else
owning capital somehow, by the use
Of it, induces him to labor.'
=,
"Labor is prior to and independent
of capital. Capital is; only the fruit Of
labor, and could never have existed If
labor had not first existed. Labor is
the superior Of capital and deserves
much the higher consideration

The A. F. Of T.. may well be proud
| of it's record as trade union, says
D. N. Shub. writing in Justice, Off
cial magazine of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers union, on
''Is the A. F. of L. Reactionary?"
"The unions of Europe" he says,
"are certainly more militant than
the unions Of America, but the labor
organizations in this country are
doubtless in better fighting trim
than the unions in most countries
in Europe-which means that they
are better prepared to carry out ihe
primary aim for which they were
organized. And when one comes to
regard the American labor movement
from this point Oh view, one cannot
help condemn as mere insane raw
ings the opinion of those who con-
slider the A. F. of L. as a nest of
reaction and Gompers as a 'reac-
| tionary.'
."The A, F. of L., as trade union
organization, need certainly not be
! ashamed of its record as compared
with the record of unions in other
| countries. Quite tv the contrary. It
has a right to be proud Of it's achieve
ments, and Gompers, as the leading
spirit Of the federation, has, more
| than anyone else. contributed to this
progress Of the American labor
movement.
1T is ridiculous to hear some of
our home-spun left socialists (not
communists) wax indignant over the
fact that our radical delegates voted
at the convention for Gompers and
his machine rather than for Foster.

these placards violate the state and
industrial and anti-syndicalism laws.
Upon learning Of this, Editor White
placed in the window Of his newspa-
per office one Of the placards express
ing 40 per cent sympathy for the
striking railroad workes, saying that
he would add 1 per cent each day the
strike continued.
In his newspaper Mr.. White ex-
planned his position in the following
language, since the publication of
which he has been arrested:
."The order Of the industrial court
is an Infamous infraction of the right
Of free press and free speech. Ger
tainly it has not come to pass in this
country that a man may not say what
he thinks about an industrial contro-
versy without disobeying the law.

These are emphatic words-words
that show the drift of thoughtful opin.
ion. They show that the whole nation
is not for a rush Of arms to enforce
involuntary servitude. They show that
there are officials and citizens who
value American principles too much
to see them wantonly thrust aside.
These are words of wisdom thrust
opportunely into a rush Of muddle
headedness.

GOVERNMENT AGENCY rs
ASKED TO GET COAL FACTS

. A government fact-finding agency
to determine costs, profits and in
vestment in the coal industry is rec
commended in a report of the nation
alization research committee of the
United Mine Workers of America.
Coal owners who refuse to give the
facts to the government agency
would be liable to heavy penalties
and Imprisonment, according to the
committees proposal. The commit
tee claims that these essential facts
for determining industrial relations
and the relations of the coal indus
try to society are concealed by the
coal owners, and that nothing short

''This charge is wholly unfounded.
as Gompers shows in one Of the last
issues Of American Federationist, in
an article on Foster. The federation
has worked hard during the past
few years to bring about a combina-
ton of various craft unions in the
same industry. and whenever such
com bination was not effected it
was not because the leaders were OPP
posed to it, but because the rank and
file of the membership rejected such
an amalgamation.
"Gompers is avovedly for such
combinations, but he is against fore
ing reforms of this kind upon any Of
the unions affiliated with the fed
eration."

hibition of involuntary servitude, ex.

hibition of involuntary servltude, ex-
cept as a punishment for crime.
This rejection of compulsory labor
is intended to protect minorities.
When it was placed in the. constitution
it's advocates did not say it's enforce
ment was subject to the convenience
or whims of majorities, now referred
to by present-day autocrats as "the
rights of the public.'
The combined forces Of special priv
ilege-their jurists, their sophists and
their agents-cannot justify the use
of government to hold workers to their
jobs against their will.
If government can enforce this con-
dition, slavery is fact, regardless of
the tinsel used to gloss this wrong.
TO say that workers will be per-
mitted to quit as individuals means
that they can only quit as the hand
cutters dictate, and cannot quit in
such numbers as to redress grievances.
They are given the shadow of lib
ertv, but not the substance.
Men are masters of themselves Or
they are not: A middle ground on this
proposition is impossible.
Liberty does not tolerate double
standards. Principle does not permit
of dilution or amendment, a fact that
is ignored by politicians and barterers
in the peoples rights.
Men can be held to their tasks or
they can not. The constitution says
they can not, except as punishment
for crime.
There are no other exceptions,
though editorial scribblers and press
agents, who pose as heaven directed
oracles advance this astounding
theory in many attractive forms:
"The public can be blind to its
duties as citizens while workers are
forced to accept injustices, but if the
workers strike and the public is in
convenienced, loud enough howl
about @the rights of the public will
result in jailing the more active
strikers.' -
While this philosophy is satisfactory
to industrial autocrats who want trade
unions impotent to improve conditions,
the public must realize that the best
way to hold men to their jobs is to
abandon force and assure them condi-
tons that their worth and Importance
to society justify.
The constitution says there must not
be involuntary servitude. That state
mcnt is as clear as the English Ian
guage can make it. It has but one
meaning. 1t declares in plain terms
that no worker can be held to his
task.
It applies to the slave holders chain
as it does to interpretations that would
be placed on a law by men who are
attempting to "bluff' the American
people into ignoring one of their most
precious guarantees.
These men show their milk and-Wa-
ter concept of liberty when they think
their hue and cry will force the men
and women Of labor to accept their
theory that a public board can set
wages and that this award can be
enforced by all the power Of govern
mcN.

rendering political power which they
already possess and which, if surren-
