A MESSAGE TO GARCIA

One of the most dramatic exploits of
the Spanish-American War was recalled
in recent article concerning Col. An
drew S. Rowan, u S. Army, retired.
In 1898, shortly after the declaration
of war on Spain, President Mckinley de-
sired to communicate with General Garcia
of the Cuban forces, who was with his
revolutionary army somewhere in the
wilds of Cuba; just where, no one knew.
Rowan, then lieutenant, was selected
for the hazardous and seemingly impOs-
sible task of finding Garcia, and set out
alone on his mission.
Going first to Jamaica, he crossed to
Cuba in an open boat, and after a nine
day search, aided by Cuban patriots, he
found General Garcia, delivered his mes
sage and returned to Washington with
the information desired by the President
after several narrow escapes from capture
and death.
His exploit was immOrtaliZed in Ell
bert Hubbard's editorial "A Message to
Garcia" of which more than 40 million
copies have been printed in many Ian
guages. Rowan in 1923 wrote his own
story of "How | Carried the Message to
Garcia"
Hubbard's editorial and Rowan's
story are both inspiring pieces of writing
which no one should fail to read

between employers and employees,
and does it not lead directly to sys-
tenn which inSures a perpetuation of
class warfare?
Most readers have doubtless seen
the statement issued through the Iron
and Steel Institute to the effect that
the steel industry intended to pro-
tect its employees from outside CO.
ercion. Previously John L. Lewis had
announced that he intended to or
ganize these employees into an in
dustrial union. He proposes to coerce.
or at least to organize. them in order
to protect them from what he deems
to be coercion from the employer.
incidentally he will collect fees which
he is not now getting.
1t will be recalled that the new Re-
publican platform pledges that party
to protect the right of labor to or
ganiZe and to bargain collectively
through representatives. of its own
choosing without interference from
any source" The Democratic plat
form provides for "his right to COL
lective bargaining and seIf-organiza-
ton free from the interference of
employers" The latter idea clearly
permits coercion of employees pro-
vided it does not come from en-
ployers. 1t means the endorsement of
the idea that the class struggle is an
accepted and insurmountable part of
our economic system and that the
machinery shall be provided by
which the struggle can be made Bit
ter and bloody in the absence Of COM
pulSory arbitration. The Republican
plank allows labor to organize in or
der to protect itself, but allows room
for cooperation and avoids the i'm
piled acceptance of the idea that class
warfare is an inevitable and insur-
mountable characteristic of our in
dustrial system.
Is not freedom from coercion from
any source" infinitely better than
freedom from coercion from merely
the employer? This is a fundamental
and vital question in this country.

great number of employees as COM
pared with employers, has made the
individual employee the weaker
party in the labor contract. To pro-
tect him, trade or labor unions of
various kinds have developed. The
result has been to coerce the indi-
vidual employee to some degree in
order to increase his strength as a
bargainer. He tends to become col
lective rather than an individual bar
gamer. Sometimes he accepts this CO.
ercion willingly; sometimes he does
not. 1t usually depends upon what he
concelves to be his personal adVan-
tage at the moment.
In the steel industry. company
unions prevail in so far as unions ex-
list The general theory of company
terprise is fundamentally cooper
alive venture in which employers
and employees participate. and in
which there should be mutual under
standing and cooperation. it is ap-
propriate for the employees to form
their own union within the company
and to choose their representatives
without dictation or coercion from
any outside labor organizers. and
presumably without any dictation
from the employers.
The big national unions, such as
those composing the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor or the industrial
unions now being pushed by John l..
Lewis. hold that company unions are
weak. are at the mercy of employ
ers. and that industry is not so much
a cooperative enterprise as it is a
conflict between employers and en-
ployees. Hence these big unions in
sist upon the desirability of ma
tional union, outside organizers, fees
paid to outsiders. and outside coer-
cion.
The differences in view raise COM
plicated and fundamental questions.
Many people have labored long and
hard over them in an effort to find a
satisfactory answer. And most an
SWers are not satisfactory.
People will take sides and will de-
velop bitter feelings regarding the
efforts of Mr.. Lewis to force the in
dustrial unions into the steel and
other industries. Rather than let our
emotions control. we should do our

linotype. Within a few years it was in
use by most daily newspapers, and now
