MACHINE POLITICS AND LABOR

MAINLINE Full llCS AND bAbOh
In the recent election Robert NJ.
LaFollette was defeated for the pfesi-
dency. Contrary to expectations Pfesi-
dent Coolidge was reelected. Mr.
Davis was also defeated by an over
whelming vote.
The psychology of this election IS
not understood by the average voter
He only knows that he voted with the
hope of saving the country from dis
aster of some sort.
That disaster was promised by Wall
Street. The power of Wall Street is
thus indicated. There can be no
doubt about its power. The fear was
that the money powers Of the United
States would throw panic. This fear
caught Labor and small capital alike
Even the merchant of small invest
ment was swayed by the threat. And
it was a threat, backed up by the
shrewdest politics that America or
any other country has ever witnessed.
Shrewd politics was at the bottom
of the phenomenal rise in corn and
other farm products. 1t was the play
ing for the farmers vote, aud it got
the vote in practically every strong
farming center in the Union.
The threat to Labor was in the form
of prediction that the working man
would be out of job if President
Coolidge and the Republican party
were not returned to office. This got
a large percent of the Labor vote.
Only those men who either had not
been impressed, or those who were too
determined in their faith in a new
government to care, voted for the
present administration.
As a result of the election we will
have another regime of money power
in America and people will be salts
fled.
Particularly will they be satisfied il
business booms and men are EN-.
ployed.
This naturally is what the farmer
the merchant and the working mar
want. 1t means their bread and but
ter; and it means success in business
Whether this is an ideal wortl
striving for is an open question. o
whether freedom from type q
tyranny that America never saw I'm
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-11-14

There is no reason why America
should escape the final calamity that
has been the heritage of every ma
tion-loyer of wealth and ease, if we
follow the trend of such nations. And
that America is following the same
trend is evidenced by the fact that we
as a people bowed the knee to Mann
mon, the god of wealth and ease.
Many sincere people will not be-
lieve all this. They have stopped
their ears and closed their eyes to the
history Of the ages. They apparently
believe that what they are now striv-
ing for and voting for is the very
best thing that could come to any gen
Grafton.
Hence we hear everywhere the cry
that prosperity and the full dinner
pail will follow the election of Presi-
dent Coolidge and the Republican
party, because business has faith in
them.
Recently ancient relics have been
upturned from the ruins of Babylon,
Nmeveh, Egypt, and other prehistoric
civilizations showing identically the
same kind of prosperity that has come
to America in the last generation
The records show that such civiliza'
lions have tottered and eventually
have fallen through the worship Of
wealth and ease.
Prophets and seers have Away
been in all ages. They have no
hesitated to proclaim that the high
est happiness of man is found only il
freedom. Their prophesies have beel
ignored in every great nation unde
mn ueeq snq 1lnsoI eql pun 'uns on
mate disaster.
The CREATES nation of all which
endured and increased its capacity fot
wealth and ease for nearly a thous
and years fell in the greatest collapse
of all ages. This was Rome, "who sa
upon her seven hills and from hel
throne of beauty ruled the world.'
America is trending in the same
direction because it loves comfort anC
idleness and so-called prosperity.
We imagine that our prestige, ou
religion, our morality and our bust
ness ability will save us from such al
end. But We hope in vain. There cal
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-11-14

The Lab8fing men who voted for
LaFolIette we're not inspired by the
thought Of daily bread. They were
inspired BY a thought Of freedom.
Freedom from political dominance;
freedom from the power Of money.
Naturally they want daily bread, and
work. Naturally they do not want
stagnation in business.
But they were willing to call the
threat Of money power and strike out
for freedom, uisng the ballot, the only
weapon a free man has to fight with,
as a means to an end. This is a
motive worthy Of the highest praise.
III is the motive that actuated the
founders Of this Republic. They were
unwilling to suffer what English
tyranny and oppression could put up
on them.
But the comparatively small num-
Der Of men and women who voted for
freedom in the last election shows
simply what dominates the American
people Il is an utter desire for gain
at the expense Of freedom. This
trend can lead to but one end, and
that will not come to this generation.
It will come to generations in this
country who are yet unborn. And
when it comes, if those Of who at the
last election voted for ease and gain
instead Of freedom are privileged 10
look down from another world, we
shall be astonished and shamed be-
cause we have followed the trend of
the ages and have grovelled before
the god of wealth and comfort for
ourselves and have put upon our chill
dren's children a burden which we
were unwilling to bear.
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-11-14

1t Is not that We oppose comfort,
wealth and ease. They are the thing
for which men live. We merely op-
pose in terms Of prophesy the ancient
and modern American way Of getting
them.
Here in America We have organized
the greatest system Of business the
world has ever known. We think that
it brings freedom. 1t does, of Ger
tain type. But the history Of the ages
says that it does not bring lasting
freedom. 1t cannot because it Is
founded upon selfshness and self
seeking. Whether it be under the
terms of Mammon or Of Christ, it has
but one end.

 chemicals; and an almost endless variety
 of explosions Hazards of infection and
 of eye diseases come about through ne
 glect of eye injuries, through incompe-
 tent first-aid treatment, through contact with persons suffering with contagious
 eye diseases, and through exposure to excessive radiated heat Eye-strain re-
 suits from improper or insufficient light ing, from wrong vocational placement, and from ignorance of or disregard for defective vision.
 Although the development of the safety movement i'll the past decade has done much to improve conditions, all that has been accomplished thus far IS said to be only beginning. There are still numberless plants where there are serious eye hazards present, i'll which no goggles are available even where work men on their own initiative might ap ply for them
 It IS estimated that or the lUO,UUO blind persons in the United States ap- proximately 15,OOO have been made blind tn trough industry, and that in addition to the totally blind there is much lar ger number of men, women and child ren who are handicapped through life by an impairment of their vision resulting from industrial injury. The number both of the totally blind and of those whose vision has been seriously i'm paired as result of the hazards of their industrial environment grows larger each year.
 The National Safety Council has es- timated that there are about 100000 in 1ustrial eye accidents occurring annually in the United States, or an injury to all eye every three minutes, day and night on every day of the year. Fortunately he great majority of these accidents do 1ot cause permanent injury, but 1t is estimated that several thousand eyes are made blind in the United States each

 The assessments have been based on mortality statistics issued by insurance companies which show that out of 100 men at the age of 36 60 will attain the age of 65. It is possible that the assessment levy now proposed would be increased when the full pension load IS required

prevention of eye as well as other type Ol accidents.
 Legislation, even of the most sats- factory kind, must be supplemented by education of workmen, foremen, super intcndents, plant managers, and owners, since many accidents can not be guarded against by any mechanical means An analysis of more than quarter of a million accidents in the plants of the United States Steel Corporation showed that hand labor was responsible for
 4,04 per cent. of these accidents The use of mechanical safety devices or ap- pliances could not possibly have pre- vented the majority of these accidents, which were due to careessness and the failure of Workmen to follow simple safety precautions. The only remedy for this condition is through education of the individual workman in safe prac- ticcs

During the recent campaign Hooper left his post in Chicago as a mediator between railroad managers and em- ployes, to stump this state for the na- tional administration and to denounce railroad employees
 Instead of assuming a judicial atti- tude and protecting the office of chair man of the Railroad Labor Board. which he happens to hold, Hooper vio- lated the first rules of common fair nses and decency by putting the office into partisan politics.
 He justified charges by the railroad brotherhoods that the board is preiu- diced. These workers have refused to appear before Hooper .who has se- cured an injunction from Federal Judge Wilkerson commanding them to appear.
 Albert E. Hill, editor of the Labor Advocate, suggests that Senator Mo Kellar make Hooper's conduct in Ten nessee a matter to be considered by the United States senate
 The labor editor insists that Hooper resign, as he has disqualified himself as fair and impartial arbiter.

 The solution of the problem of reduc-
 ing or eliminating eye accidents is in
 legislation, education, and organized ac- cident-prevention activities in industry, experts hold \ first essential for sat isfactory reduction in this class of acci- dents is the enactment of laws rcquir- ing the reporting of accidents and the provision of safeguards. Despite the sincere attempts of many employers to promote sal fety activities, the enactment of wOrkmen's compensation laws has provided the greatest stimulus for in dustrial safety activities. Owing to the pressure of competition and the nearly temptation among both em- poyes to take chance, 1t can be as stunned that in those States in which there is no law requiring the safeguard ing of workers from accident and health hazards, where there is no law requir- ing employers to compensate WOrkmen for injuries received in the course of their occupation, or where there Is no law requiring even the reporting of accidents, little effort will be made to prevent accidents. For that reason intel igent legislation is prerequisite of the

Miners of Illinois Vote On Old-Age
 Pension Plan

By International Labor News Service.
 Indianapolis, Ind, Dec 2O-At the election to be held December 9 by the United Mine Workers of America, Dis trict 12 Qllinois) will vote on the ques- tion of accepting or rejecting an old age pension plan, whereby union miners over the age of 65 will be retired on pension for the rest of their days.
 The plan provides for the payment of not more than $25 a month to any retired miner who has held member ship in the Illinois district for 20 years, the last 10 of which have been continuous. A special assessment of one per cent. of gross earnings, less mine expenses, of all members of the union will maintain a fund large enough to care for all pensioners, off cials say.
 Under the plan members working around the mine part of the month
