FRIGHT TO WORK"
NOT PROPERTY

Any property right is derived from
ownership or right of use.
If the right to work is property
then human labor must be an article
a commodity; that is, some inanimate
thing, something that can be bought
and sold. This involves more thar
a mere legal question, but the legal
aspect of the question is based upon
physical facts, and upon the method
of reasoning by which the conclusion
is educed.
Among thinking men it has never
been held that work is purely manual
labor. The work of the hands, how
ever mechanical, involves something
of mentality. In all kinds of work
the mental and the physical elements
are differentials; sometimes the man.
ual predominates, sometimes the men
tai, but in no kind of work is either
wholly absent.
Work, whether termed mental or
manual, is the expression of the ere
ative ability of the individual; it is
power to create, whether an idea, a
fact, or a piece tf furniture; in all,
it is the human attribute.
There is no manner of human labor
that is a thing apart from the body
and the mind of the human being.
Commodities and articles of commerce
are the products of human labor ex-
ercised upon materials.
There is as great difference be-
tween human labor and articles and
commodities as between that wonder
full thing we call life and the mate
rials that have neither thought nor
vision.
No authority outside of free man
has right to dictate control over the
use of labor power.
But the classification of labor power
as property is necessary to the issu-
ance of a writ of injunction to regu-
late that labor power.-A. F. of L.
convention declaration.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1927-09-02
CONTROLLING
WORKERS

A refusal by employers to recog-
nize trade unions is misunderstood by
many people who point to organiza-
ton in every other activity.
The mightiest industrial combines
set prices and through various meth
DDS drive competitors out of busi-
ness. This is defended as "the spirit
of the age"
When the government calls on the
supreme court to rule that the steel
trust violates the antitrust act,
judges ignore law and wander into
the economic field. They say an adj
verse decision "may be a serious det-
riment to the foreign trade"
These combines juggle credit and
commodities, direct public opinion by
manufactured falsehood, finance po-
litical parties, control nominations,
suggest" their attorneys for judicial
place, and in other sinister ways
strengthen their economic power.
These tremendous forces refuse to
treat with collective labor. When
workers would raise living standards
and thereby advance, intellectually
and morally, they are lectured on the
value of independence, liberty and
private initiative"
The secret reason is the refusal
of industrial autocrats to endanger
their economic, intellectual and polit-
cal control They know, far better
than unorganized employees, that eco
nomic control is the base of material
and spiritual power.
The morality of this position is not
considered-it is a question of might
makes right"
When wage workers are organized
they do not limit their activities to
higher wages and shorter hours They
challenge every wrong. They would
annul privilege and establish equal
ity in relations between men. They
take their place as citizens of the
republic-they do their own thinking
and act accordingly.
Through trade unionism the citizen
vision of wage workers is enlarged.
1t develops individuality, independ-
ence and capacity. This development
is slow. 1t is lacking in the spec
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1927-09-02

tacular, but because of its slowness
it is doubly certain.
The industrial autocrat is well
aware of this development. He pro-
fesses to be unacquainted with the
philosophy of trade unionism, but his
psychologists, economists and investi-
gators keep him informed.
That he well knows the purpose of
trade unionism is shown by his recent
paternal ventures. In the hope of
staying this development he grants
the form but not the substance Of la
boris demands.
The so-called "open shop, the
american plan," the company
union" and the injunction process
are all attempts to control the work
ers' lives by denying them the right
to form trade unions and bargain
collectively.
Free organization by the workers
transeends all other questions. 1t is
the tap root of workers process.
If workers are to be free they must
have every right that the owner of
capital enjoys.
The Mussolini ideal has no place
in American institutions.

THE EDITORS LAMENT

Getting out magazine is no picnic.
If we print jokes, folks say we are
silly.
If we don't they say we are too
serious.
If we publish original matter, they
say we lack variety.
If we publish things from other
papers, we are too lazy to write.
If we stay on our job, we ought
to be out rustling news.
If we don't print contributions, we
don't show proper appreciation.
If we do print them, the paper is
filled with junk.
Like as not, some other fellow will
say we swiped this from another mag
azine.

FAMOUS MOUNTAIN OF
 SALT WILL BE MINED

Salt Lake City. (P,-Utah's mountain of salt. out of which was quarried it's famous salt palace many years ago, is soon to be mar keted. Owners of the mountain, who say it contains more than fifteen million tons of salt, have applied for permit to build a two mile railway for the trans nnrtation of the mined products.
 Father Escalente, Jesuit priest who, history says, was the first man to set foot in the territory that is now Utah. visited the noun tain on his journeys. and General Fremont in his frontier campaign ing made frequent journeys there to replenish the salt supplies for his troops.
