    Public Has DutiesAs W ell As Rights

    Cincinnati, Aug. 21.?"Before thepublic has a valid claim for the fullrecognition of its rights on the partof labor, it must have previously as-sumed its responsibilities and havedone its part in preventing conditionsof iabor which are not only intoler-able' to labor, but which are a men-ace to the stability and the welfareof the nation itself," says John P.Frey, editor International Molders'Journal.

    "The public," says this trade union-ist, "manifested little interest in thelong hours and low wages of streetcar employes, until one morning itwas forced to walk down town be-cause the street car employes wouldno longer endure the intolerable con-ditions of their employment.

    "The miners have received suchsmall wages that they could not sup-

    ,port their families in decency. Theyliave been prevented from organiz-ing by bands of hired mercenarieswhose existence has been permitted

    .by the authorities; their members;and their organizers have been killedlin cold blood, but the public took noadequate steps to prevent these out-

    i rageous and un-American conditions."But the public, which had so ef-

    fectively evaded and ignored its re-? sponsibilities, clamored for legisla-tive and administrative relief the mo-ment the miners went on strike.

    "The public, in respect to itsrights, is very much like many em-ployers who are keenly consciousof their rights, but overlook or

    ! waive aside the reciprocal rights oftheir employes.

    "The foundryman who expects themolders and coremakers to work forhim with the spirit of good willmust have indicated a spirit of fair-ness and good will towards his em-- ployes, for there are no rights en-

    ?joyed by men which do not carry

    j with them equivalent obligations and

    Farmer-Labor Meetings

    A Farmer-Labor meeting was heldat Maltby, Tuesday night. W. J.Fortson and Jack Anderson address-ed the meeting. This was the firstget-together at Maltby during thecampaign. Other meetings will beheld in that precinct from now on.

    There will be a Farmer-Labormeeting at Stanwood, Saturday night.

    THE LABOR JOURNAL

    STATE FEDERATION BULLETIN(Continued from page one)

    stroke of his pen, renders valueless all of the time and money expendedby all of the state's tribunals, and yet talks of economy. He stood readyto involve the state in unlimited and unnecessary expenditure during thecoal strike, and the only reason the state avoided this waste of its resourceswas due to the attitude of the multitude of the State's Mne citizens whorefused to take the Governor seriously.

    Through his representatives, he has dealt directly on practically allindustrial questions affecting the interests of the workers, with the em-ployers' associations of the state, and completely ignored the representativesof the workers. Men recommended as Labor's representatives on theIndustrial Code Commission were investigated by representatives of theemployers' association, and on adverse reports submitted from thissource, denied proper consideration for the position. The Governor has,at the behest of the employers' association, emasculated the operation of theIndus trial Welfare Commission as no man capable of understanding theconsequence of his actions would dare try to do. His failure to serve thecommon people of our state, or to even try to at any time, is thoroughand complete. As the most miserable failure who has ever served aschief execuive of our state, "Louie Hart has made good."

    Next week we will say a few words about Roland H. Hartley.

    Peonage AdvocatesChecked in Kansas

    Topeka, Kan., Aug. 21.?The su-preme court has been asked to setaside a decision by District CourtJudge McCamish of WyandotteCounty in which he declared uncon-stitutional a provision of the "can't-strike" law making liable to arrestany person who would influence oth-ers to strike.

    Judge McCamish's reason was tech-nical and held that this provisionof the "cant-strike" law violates thestate constitution because the pro-vision is not clearly expressed inthe title of the peonage act.

    The court said that the legality ofthe "cant-strike" law as a wholewas not before it, but the court in-timated his sympathy with the actby this statement:

    "There is not and cannot be anydoubht that the State of Kansas,through its legislature, had the rightand power to deal with and settleindustrial disputes and that its pow-er is ample to accomplish the ob-ject and purpose sought to be accom-plished by the enactment of the lawknown as the industrial court.

    "The only thing for serious con-sideration by this court is as towhether in the effort made by thelegislature it has kept within con-stitutional bounds."

    Regardless of Judge McCamish'sreasoning, the fact remains that ifthe decision is upheld it will be ahard blow to the State IndustrialCourt, which will be checked in itsattempt to silence strike agitationin this state.

    I] Strikes and lockouts reported toII the British ministry of labor during1919 numbered 1,413. The numberof work people directly or indirectly

    Iaffected was about 2,1)80,000, and theaggregate duration of the disputeswas about 34,480,000 working days.

    FARMER-LABORPICNIC SUNDAY

    AT ARLINGTONAt Arlington last Sunday there

    was held a rousing picnic under theauspices of the Farmer-Labor Party.

    On Friday night, the 20th, an ex-service man named Ferry delivereda violent and abusive tirade againstthe Nonpartisan League and theTriple Alliance, and tried to incitethe people to a lawless act, that is,the prevention of the holding of thepicnic of the Farmer-Labor Party.rCITy is one of those ex-soldiers whohas forgotten that he fought "tomake the world safe for democracy,"but is now fighting with his mouthto make it unsafe for anybody.

    The meeting was a huge success,with tremendous applause givenspeakers whenever they touched onneeds for a change in governmentto bring back constitutional rights.There were at least 000 citizens pres-ent. Jack Anderson of the Farmer-Labor County Executive Committee,was the chairman and the entire daywas devoted to speechmaking.

    W. J. Fortson, proposed candidatefor Representative from the Forty-ninth District spoke first. In theafternoon George Louttit, who hasbeen unanimously endorsed by theTriple Alliance and the NonpartisanLeague for Judge of the SuperiorCourt, made a short speech.

    Frank Pease made an appeal forthe Private Soldiers and Sailors' Le-gion, stating that another war spec-tre is menacing the American people;that before Christmas, if they do notdo something to prevent it, theAmerican boys will again be in Eu-rope, this time against Russia.

    John Kennedy of Chicago declaredthat the slogan of the producersnow is "Bread for everybody beforeanyone gets cake," and carrying outthat figure of speech he stated thateconomics is the bread and butterof the working class movement andeveryone must be grounded in itsfundamental principles to operatesuccessfully all public utilities. Hemaintained that producers must takepossession of all public utilities andnatural resources, asking "will youstick together and own and operateall public utilities and natural re-sources?" and the reply came backstrongly, "Yes, we'll stick."

    Rev. "Bob" Whitaker of Los An-geles chose as his subject "AmericaFirst." He said: "No man is a realAmerican who is not big enough tolove all lands and all humanity." Hethen went on to show that not lan-guage, religion, literature, commerce,trade, nor -democracy were born inAmerica, and that every nation hascontributed to what we have todayin this country.

    In conclusion he said: "There isonly one way to win this fight fordemocracy, and that is through soli-darity 305 days in the year."

    William Bouck, master of theState Grange, advocated backing thepeople's bank.

    The afternoon ended with an appealby Mr. Hess for subscribers toshares in the Farmer-Labor bank.

    "Study Your Shops,"Edison Is Advised

    Newark, N. J., Aug. 21.?Hugh V.Reilly, late editor of the NewarkLedger, advises Thomas Edison, elec-trical wizard, to study industrialconditions in his own factories inthis vicinity before he criticises work-ers and gives advice to them.

    Recently Mr. Edison declared thatif the industrial worker could bemade to understand "what capitaland management are doing for himit would go a long way to cure thisso-called unrest."

    "The press accounts of the ad-dress," says Labor Editor Reilly,"agree that it was delivered for Mr.Edison and not by him.

    "Perhaps it was not written ordictated by him, because the thoughtexpressed is unworthy of a greatman. It bears all the characteris-tics of hired management misrepre-sentation. Several months ago wespoke of the long established prac-tice of the West Orange plant ofhiring workmen in a large field. Wesaid at the time that almost inva-riably the future founder of a hy-phenated-American family would getthe job. There have been other in-stances when the Edison managementhave made a more direct appeal forforeign workmen in preference tothe native born, as was the caseduring the polishers' strike severalyears ago. At that time the strike-breaking advertisements distinctlystated that Greeks were preferredfor the strikers' places.

    "And now Mr. Edison wonders whythe industrial worker does not un-derstand his employer. Many work-men in our large industrial establish-ments are incapable of understand-ing their employers for the samereason that the steel trust experi-enced in their strike last fall?theemployer didn't want workmen whounderstand. The fact is, the Ameri-can workman understands his em-ployer far better than the latter un-derstands him. The workman is seek-ing through the agency of collectivebargaining to make that understand-ing all embracing, but many employ-ers (the Edison companies included)have given repeated evidences thatthey do not want it.

    "The attitude of these companiesindicate they desire the very oppo-site of understanding?opp lession.Oppression never develops that full,hearty co-operation necessary to abetter world.

    "Mr. Edison shoud study the in-dustrial conditions in his own fac-tories before he criticises the work-men of today."

    ers an opportunity to crowd the citieswith workers who would accept low-er living standards.

    Officers of the Arizona State Fed-eration of Labor are now investi-gating the claim that frequent de-portations are taking place. TheMexican workers charge that thosebeing deported are invariably menwho have taken an active part inorganizing workers in the Salt RiverValley district.

    "This condition," says the ArizonaLabor Journal, "is creating an uglyspirit among the men and if not dis-continued may result seriously.

    "If the officers and members ofthe Arizona Cotton Growers' Associa-tion will get closer to their employesand treat them more like human be-ings han beasts of burden, they willsoon find a more contented and bet-ter working force of men and thecotton industry will not be injured.Conferences and adjustments of themany grievances which have beenignored all along with a raise ofwages, will accomplish all of thisand more."

    Warrants charging 65 strikingmembers of the San Francisco Yard-men's Association with violation ofthe Lever food law by alleged par-ticipation in the "insurgent strike"last April were served at a massmeeting of the men by a UnitedStates marshal.

    A politician has the ChristianScience attitude in regard to prof-iteering. He escapes the necessity offinding a remedy by professing in-ability to find the evil.
