It's Cheaper To Ship

- SssSsskSA
When the public welfare COM
mittee of the city council held
it's meeting last week to give the
communists and their ilk an OPP
portunity to air their views OF
mayor and chief Of police, the
usual "Jack" atom of the Kar-
son khan was much in evidence.
Speaking for the communists,
he demanded" the removal OF
both officials. Somewhere to-
ward the middle of his har-
rangue, Alderman Henry Banks
asked Karson whether or not ne
was member Of any labor
union. Karson replied that he
"was'' a member of a steel
workers union. Asked by
Banks if he was in good stand
ing or had a membership card,
Karson snarled, 81 have one but
I wouldn't show it to you.
EDO you know any member
IF the drievers' union who is q
member of the communist
partyg" asked Banks.
eff I did, I wouldn't tell
you," came another snarl.
just who is this Karson that
he presumes to show his COM
munist fangs when asked a
courteous question? just how
many of his kind and breed are
we harboring in this city9 And
why? Is he an American citi-
zen?
He can't talk the language
well enough to indicate whether
he is or not and his actions dis
play an insolence and contempt
for the United States govern
ment that would not be toler-
ated in any other country under
the sun.
Let some Of our officials take
a look-see into the Karson citi-
zenship-into the citizenship of
every communist in the city
and if that look-see discloses
that one or all Of them are not
citizens of these United States,
let the federal government de-
port them.
If these communists are SO
desperately in love with Soviet
Russia, let them go there. If
they won t go Of their own voh-
ton, let them go under guard.
1t would be cheaper to ship
them via air mail at govern
ment expense than allow them
to further continue their efforts
to destroy our government.

JUST CHUCKLlNC

I was slightly amused to
read in last weeks issue Chen
current) of the Labor Re-
view" that the raid on strike
headquarters was actually an
inspection" tour and no raid
at all. Can it be possible the
Review" staff cant tell the
difference between a raid and
an Inspection"
But don't you fellows ever
believe that wasn't a genuine
raid. It was the real stuff. It
actually deserved front page
mention and in big, fat type. 1t
was buried until I had to read
the sheet through four times be-
fore I found it. Sure it was a
raid, boys! Don't let any one
kid you into thinking it WASH t..
Of course, if you had doubts
about the matter, you could
have had them removed by
merely trying to bat the tin
bonnet off a militia boy with
one of your peaceful picket"
batons. That s one certain way
Of telling the difference between

He didn't refuse to don the

painfully loyal to labor. He
ducked the issue because he
"forgot" he wasn't chief! He
even forgot that he was no

their heels and hoped through
hoops at his command.
Certainly he was suspended

THE FUTILITY
OF The STRIKE
By F. H. STEVENS

Legislation and court decl-
sions have sanctioned the right
of employees to strike, and en-
ployes may, by threatening to
strike, have in their hands an
effective weapon, by which they
may coerce the employers into
settlement of labor disputes.
Another weapon which the
law gives to the striker is that
of pi k e tin g. "Picketing"
means the right to place patrols
about the place of business OF
the employer for the purpose OF
inducing other employees to join
the strike, and as a sort OF boy
colt against the employer be-
cause of his alleged unfairness
to the employees.
These two weapons have be-
come powerful agencies in the
hands of labor to induce and
coerce employers, and through
the lawful use of them, labor
unions have been able to accom-
plish much of benefit to the
working class. The general pub
lie, grown familiar with these
practices, recognizes both OF
these rights, and in so far as the
strikers conduct themselves
lawfully, we are willing to give
approval.
In case of oppression or un-
fairness, public opinion is usual
ly in favor of the underdog- so
long, always, as he wages his
fight in lawful and fair way.
AS is usually the case, the
public knows really very little
about the actual matters in is
sue. That is. we know very
little about the reasons for, or
merits of the strike. We are all
so immersed in our own troubles
and affairs that we pay little at
tention to these labor quarrels,
until or unless they touch us in
dividually. We do not know
what the profit and loss sheet of
the employer shows, or whether
his business will sustain the
payment Of higher wages, or
shorter hours. Probably the in
dividual striker knows little
about these things.
AS already stated, public
opinion is usually with the op-
pressed and down-troddden, so
long as the fight is lawful. It
will not, however, tolerate vio-
lence and lawlessness: it shifts
quickly against the violator of
the law. Notwithstanding that
the law sanctions the strike and
picketing.. it never has, and
never will sanction violence.
Every act of the strikers which
goes beyond peaceful striking
and picketing is unlawful.
Threats, intimidation, rioting,
the use Of clubs and weapons to
prevent the employer or his 10y
al employees from carrying on
his business, are unlawful. Pa
trolling and blockading the
streets are illegal. Opposing the
lawfully constituted peace Off
GERS, by force and violence, is a
breach of the law.
Pickets may in a peaceful
manner use all Of their persua-

they and their families are IN
dire need.
Business has been stagnated.
Five hundred thousand inno-
cent men, women and children
have been victimized, and many
of them are in distress. Prob
ably there are five or more un-
employed men to every striker
in this city, who would gladly
take the jobs that the strikers
left to go on strike, but who are
unable to do so because of the
threats, intimidation and vio-
lence.
Peace officers have been kill
ed and manned in attempting to
sustain the law. Strikers, while
obstructing the officers, have
been shot.
Now, is it not about time that
we all begin to ask ourselves,
strikers as well as the general
public: Where does all this
leadY Winter, probably the
worst in our history, from the
standpoint Of poverty and dis
tress, will shortly be upon us.
Already public relief funds are
running short. We are nearly
exhausted.
Are we going to 60 on with
this inhuman, senseless condi-
ton until we are ruined? Or
shall we insist that those who
want to work shall have that
right, and that those who TO-
ment and are responsible for
this strike shall yield their less
er claims to the lawful rights of
the great majority? If we are
to so insist, it must be by organ
ization and united effort by the
victimized public.
Certain it seems to be that, if
law and order are sustained, the
strike is hopeless from the
standpoint of the striker, for it
is already proven that without
violence, and rioting, and intim-
idation, the trucks can and will
run. With violence, the striker
can not hope to win, for public
opinion will not tolerate such
lawlessness, nor will public
opinion long tolerate failure to
enforce the law. Whatever
their inclination may be, no
public officer is bigger than the
law, and in the final test the law
will prevail. In saying this
there is no intention to cast in
situations against anyone, for
the proposition is so elementary
as to need no argument to sup
port it.
For these reasons, the strike
is futile. Let us organize for
peace.
Minneapolis.
The Saturday press. (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1927-1936, 1934-08-11

Unfortunately, whenever ulS-
orders of this kind arise, med
ding and vicious agitators
crowd themselves into the
places of disorder, and perhaps
it is true that they, and not the
strikers, are responsible for
much of the violence that en-
sues; but it is also true that
when the whirlwind of a strike
is started, the responsibility for
whatever violence occurs rests
upon those who put the thing in
motion, and for that reason
every striker who goes on pick
ct duty takes upon himself the
chance of being involved in a
serious Grim in al liability,
through the unwise conduct OF
his fellows, for it is the law that
any person who incites, or aids
or abets another in the commits
sion of a crime, is equally guilty
with him who strikes the fatal
blow.
i When lawful picketing fails,
no safe course is open to the
striker other than to refrain
from, and advise all others to
refrain from violence.
i Violent and unlawful conduct
of strikers works serious in
jury to their own cause, for, as
| already been shown, it turns the
tide of public opinion strongly
4 against them, no matter what
merits the original cause might
have had, and without the sup
port Of public opinion the strike
must fail.
There can be no dispute of
the following principles:
That men ought to and
must have the right to
i work and be paid reason
able wages for reasonable
hours, and without violence
to bargain collectively, if
they do desire; and that
| those who do not desire to
/ bargain collectively should
have the right to work un-
| molested;
| That employers are en-
| titled to fair treatment and
| to maintain their bust
nesses, and select employees
| of their choice; and
| That neither of the con-
| tending parties has the
| right, by acts of intimida-
ton or violence, to deprive
! the public of its right to the
| service which we depend
| upon for the necessaries of
i life.
! Whoever denies these funda-
mental principles is wrong.
There are few incidental, dis
putable details which enter into
the question of management and
employment. but these details
are susceptible of being re-
solved. if reason can prevail ;
but nothing can be settled in
hot blood and by violence and
guerrilla warfare upon the
peace officers or the innocent
public.
