1t Depends Entirely
Whose Ok Is GOred

If commissions can set workers
wages, and hold labor to its task by
the power of government, why not
probe the needs of professional men
and fix their incomes?
On what theory of the most primi-
tive justice can wages-by-law advo-
Gates defend their plan that handcuff
legislation shall only apply to wage
earners?
1t seems incredible that these pa
triots, these 100 per cent Americans" I"
and haters of foreign ideas in govern
ment, would favor the imported the
ory that working men and women are
apart from the blue blood of traders
and money lenders.
Do these wages-by-law advocates
want to destroy the American ideal
of equality? Do they realize what
it means to have a nation lose its
soul?
Do they want to establish new theo-
ries of government? Do they want
( to revise the Declaration of Inde-
pendence?
To be consistent they must apply
their theory to lawmakers and judges.
None will say that the intellects of
these professionals are uniform. Why
not probe the home life of every law
maker and judge and notify their
wives of the number of hose and un-
dergarments per annum they may
have.
Why should the wants and aspira-
tions of workers, and none others, be
card indexed by commissions that
have the power to enforce their or
ders?
Why should government officials be
authorized to go into the home Of the
humblest railroad section employe
and not, for instance, into the white
house?
1t is impossible for wages-by-law
advocate to be patriot in the real
sense. He may excel in lip service,
but no man is capable of grasping tie
essence of American liberty and
equality who favors such class legis-
lation, such serf proposal as chain
ing workers to their jobs.
He would strangle liberty, Geaden
the public conscience and make it a
crime for workers to strike.
These are the men who pose as
patriots, and while advocating their
wicked plan to chain workers to their
jobs they make hollow protest against
"those who would create classes in our
country"
80, liberty, what crimes are COM
mitted in thy name"
