Lesson in Americanism
spank.
PHILADELPHIA Record


Harry Bridges CLIO leader, may know all the
answers on labor organizing. He has flunked out on
history and Amercansm.
Bridges testified in San Francisco that a class
war" is being waged in the u S. A. because workers
are being shot down picket lines all over the
country"
Bridges has confused family quarrel with class
struggle the growing pains of labor in democracy
with what went on in Russia.
In an attempt to bolster his remarks, Bridges
pointed headlines telling of troops being rushed to
the Green Mountain Dam strike in Colorado
But why those troops sent to the dam?
They were sent there to protect strikers.
The National Guardsmen were welcomed by the
besieged strikers with cheers and they slapped the
Guardsmen's commander the back with whoops of
joy.
Does that sound like class war?
Strikes attended by violence on both sides are
certainly not in American history. Remember
the knights of Labor after the Civil War? Remember
the bloody Homestead strike in 1892? Remember the
Federal troops in Chicago during the railroad strike
of 1894? Remember the general labor strike OF lO0o0o
workers in New York in 1872?
Here's something else to think about. In countries
where there been real class in 18th century
France and in goth century Russia, there was detm-
lite division of classes before there was war. There
was a group of debtors the bottom who never got
out of debt to the creditors on the top
People were born in the lower classes and couldn't
get out of them except by the sword
This country is different We have no stratified
classes we have group of debtors on the bottom
doomed to stay in debt and the bottom.
There are 640OOO0O holders of life insurance in
this country 44000000 and women who have
savings accounts other time deposits These people
have a stake in the country.
AS a labor leader, Bridges should remember that
unions have big stake in the capitalistc system Has
he heard about the United Mine Workers in Pennsyl-
vania lending money to coal operators? About the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers lending money tc
clothing firms?
Democracy has leavened the captastic system
Democracy, our political system, holds checkren
over capitalism our economic system. The checkreir
slips at times, but it's there.
Just because employers and strikers lose Their
heads and grab for weapons doesn't mean it's class
war.
It's just democracy getting little too rough.

Tolerance Ends at so
cincinnati Enquirer

tCncnlndtl enquirer
Among many more important findings, the Am
erjcan Institute of Public opinion has discovered that
in cross-section of the population So percent have
no objection to other people drinking ntoXlcants,
while as percent of teeotalers resent their neghbors
freedom to imbbe Women are much more inclined 10
deprive their fellow citizens of drink than are men
What is most intriguing however, is the disparity OF
opinion among age groups.
Among voters in their twenties (who do not drink
only 80 percent indicate that they dsapprove OF other
people drinking Voters in their thirties and fortes
are disappearing to the extent of AZ percent. And
voters over SO who do not themselves mbibe) show
majority of Sc percent opposed to drinking by others
Where indeed is the celebrated melowness which
comes to humankind with the passing years?
Does this mean that intolerance OF other people S
shortcomings in the matter of ntoxicants will in
crease when our young and women are middle
aged? That is way to interpret Mr.. Gaups find
ings Very few nondrinkers of tender years want to
impose their habits of abstinence on others not so
inclined.
But it seems more realistic to assume that 20 years
from now conditions will be much the same. For by
that time our younger generation of today will be
middle aged and almost certainly they will have
acquired the firm passion for improving their neigh
bors which now prevails among their elders.
Lest anyone who enjoys an occasional hlghball
become too worried by these threatening statistics
however it needs to be pointed out that the figures
refer only to minority of the people. They reflect
the VARYING opinions of those who never drink. And
those who never drink, the survey also shows, are
themselves a minority of the population-42 percent
to be precise A adventure in prohibition, noble
in aim does not to threaten us at this writing

order while bills dealing with relations abroad were
being considered From time to time he lamps down
she tobacco in his pipe with it, too

In a country where economic and
