across to my fellow workers the idea
expressed in my opening sentence.
There is no substitute for the union.
1t is the workers Verdun. If the
union falls, the labor movement will
be destroyed.
Therefore our first thought should
be, preserve the union"
But that devotion should not pre-
vent us using other weapons.
Chief among those weapons is edu-
cation. The workers must know what
is going on in the world. A knowl-
edge of what has gone on may en-
able us to deal effectively with what
is going on.
How is this knowledge to be con-
veyed to the workers? To my mind
there is only one way:
Labor must have it's own press
owned by labor, controlled by labor,
edited by labor, subject to no outside
influence.
Political action is another great
weapon. Many of labor's battles in
the future will be decided at the bal
| lot box. Thousands of men died, tens
! of thousands rotted in prison cells
| countless thousands suffered in mine
and body in order that the workers
of today might have the ballot. VIZ
cannot afford to be careless in the use
of legacy purchased at such tre
mendous sacrifice.
In politics the workers must be in
| dependent They must not wear th'
party collar. They must support mel
and measures, and refuse to becom
mere camp followers of politica
bosses.
| We are justified in facing the futur
with confidence. God has been yer,
good to the workers of America. N
enemy can vanquish us if we are onl
true to Observation-Disclosures Keating
