ABOVE THE DOLLAR
Lincoln Placed Man i'm His
Scheme of Thinking

The attitude of Lincoln toward labor
grew out of his experience as a work
er, his conflict with slavery, and deep,
and persistent thinking on fundamen-
tai industrial relations. BY reason
of all these elements in his life he
came to convictions regarding labor
that stand firm today despite the
great changes that have taken place
in industry.
Lincoln had no hesitation about
ascribing the first place in the eco
nomic order to labor. Labor" he
said. lis 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"
That is the way Lincoln placed the
man higher than the dollar in his
scheme of thinking. If that attitude
of mind existed among the legislators,
judges and executives of our country
what change it would mean toward
labor!

STOP And THINK

Have we not all one Father? Hath
not one God created us? Why do we
deal treacherously, every man against
his brother - (Malachi ii:10.)
This text, suggested and used by
Rev. j. T. Loeb, rabbi of Ohave Sho-
lem congregation, is worthy of the
deepest thought possible by any man.
Foolish men in every age and cline,
with empty words, seek to bring ha-
tired, dissent and confusion into the
very lives of their fellow men, and
when all else fails, they use religion
as the evhicle to carry their calumny
and vituperation about, and we poor
fools, who should know that our guess
is as good as their own relative to
the brand of religion to adopt, and
should also know that the Master
said, "By their works and by their
fruits We shall know them," allow
noise to be substituted for works and
reason, and lose sight of the good of
all, in trying to return in kind their
poison shafts.
Religion, as religion, needs no de-
fense. Religion, as politics, deserves
no defense.

tions of a common God: Cease your

They started the fight against auto
cratic control of industry. They have
destroyed the serf ideal-that workers
stand with hat in hand before the
boss.
Today there are no more independ-
ent and assertive citizens than these
same trade unionists. Who can lead
them?? Who can order them? Who
can cajole them?
This spirit is everything. 1t ex
cells all the resolutions written, revo-
lutions blue printed, and programs
urged. 1t is the foundation of coll
lective progress and individual devel
opment. 1t is trade unionism's great
est triumph.
These unions are active in every
movement that increases the intelli-
gence and widens the capacity of
tl-eir members.
Not only in better working condi-
tions, with resultant better homes and
healthier children, but unionism is the
one force that arouses the people to
endangered liberty and encroachment
by privilege.
And this when critics sneer five
cent increases" and jabber their
phrases about future civilizations.
And this when the intelligensia Ian
guidly fiecks the ashes from his cigar
cite and yawns advice to ''the working
class"
But suppose these trade unions did
nothing but raise wages. That alone
would Justify their existence. Let
our dllettante critics read what the
United States children's bureau has to
say on the number of baby deaths
due to low wages.
These trade unions do more. how
ever. They establish labor papers.
operate banks and cooperative stores.
maintain labor colleges, homes for
aged members, labor headquarters
life insurance, health insurance. and
old age pensions.
Every form of education and col
lectlve action is fostered and encour-
| aged by them. Their standards of
yesterday are rejected as they plant
their banner of progress one step
forward, today, tomorrow. and al
ways.
No institution in the world can
equal the progress and development
OF the North American trade union
lists the past twenty-five years. Their
independence, their standard of liv.
ing, their capacity can not be approx.
mated in any other trade union move.
ment on earth
Other movements may be more the.
atrical, but for things accomplished
the trade union movement of this con.
tlnent is incompatible. And this with
the immigration question, and its mul.
tlplicity of languages and ideals
which has made unifcation of workers
by workers the greatest social tri.
umph in history.
These facts are ignored by the revo.
lutionist, who sneers that the goal Of
our older unions is few pennies wage
increase.
The sneers are logical. The revo-
lutionist hates the trade union as
heartily as does the industrial auto
crat.
They hate the thing they can not
dictate or control.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-08-31

But he realized that those who toll
have constant struggle to maintain
the priority of labor. "As labor is
the common burden of our race. so
the effort of some to shift their share
of the burden onto the shoulders of
others is the great durable curse of
the race"
But he was for the worker getting
the full return of his labor "And in
asmuch as most good things are pro-
duced by labor, it follows that it has
happened in all ages of the world that
some have labored and others have,
without labor, enjoyed large proper
tion of the fruits. This is wrong and
should not continue. To secure to
each laborer the whole product of his
labor, or as nearly as possible, is a
worthy object to any good govern
ment."
One wonders what Lincoln would do
were he sitting at the White House
today. Would he let the steel mag
mates, the coal barons and the stock
yard profiteers get away with it, or
would be go in for a real "new free
dom" for labor? In the light of his
heroic achievements no one can doubt
but that he would line up the forces
of government for industrial justice
and freedom.
No one may question Lincoln's
loyalty and reverence for the law and
its institutions, but he had no illu-
sions about the usurpation of power
by the supreme court. He said: 81

by the supreme court; nor do | deny

rows sun would greet the revolution!
And when the deposing of Sam Com
pers would be the final push that
would bring the present order crash
ing to the ground!
Except to revolutionists and intelli-
gentsia, such terms as "old-line trade
union" have no significance.
Some of the hardest battles in the
industrial history of this country
have been waged by so-called "old-
line trade unions"
They were the rallying point in the
fight for direct legislation, the secret
ballot, and free textbooks.

cents more per hour for the rank and

The above sneer is included in a

troversy he has with writer's or
ganization.
