A CRUEL JOKE

eve are prepared says a resolu
tion adopted by the stockholders, Ito
accept, regardless of the sacrifices
necessary thereto, whatever losses
may be sustained in maintaining the
right of every American citizen to
enter into his individual contract,
should such be his desire, without him
drance from any other human being"
What joke Here are $4,000 or
ganized stockholders of the steel trust
each snugly protected in his bargain
ing power with the laboring man by
the greatest combination of capital
on earth. This combination of capi-
tai owns the mills, owns the towns
where the mills are run, owns the
houses in the town wherein the single
unorganized worker lives, owns the
stores as well as the houses, owns
the banks and the sources of credit
where this individual American citi-
zen" lives, owns the politics of the
town and the state where this inde-
pendent American citizen lives. And
then, they say, stand up in your pride,
you independent American citizen
one man at time and bargain with
US organized as employers, as land
lords, as grocers, as bankers, as gov
ernment You shall be protected in
your royal American right to make
the best individual bargain you can
with u.s.
Is it ignorance or class malice that
makes such a sentiment as that go
with the middle-class Americans If
ever there was a conspiracy to put
American laboring men into serfdom
it is the so-called open shop. Yet peo-
pie who look and sometimes talk like
sensible people gabble about the open
shop as if it were not the cowardly
subterfuge to oppress labor that it
really is.-William Allen White in the
Emporia (Kan) Daily Gazette.
