RAYMOND ROBINS AND THE
CAMPAIGN ISSUE
In his dramatic and convincing
speech before the Federation of
Labor at Chicago on the 19th Ray
mond Robins sounded what is not
unlikely to be tho keynote of the ap
proaching presidential and congres
sional campaign. Tho analogy he
drew between the Dred Scott slave
decision of fifty years ago and tho
Danbury labor decision of the pres
ent year, was impressively exact; and
his quotations from Lincoln's criti
cisms of that decision were almost
as if they had been framed especially
for criticising this one.
If it was necessary to convince
that audience, representing hundreds
of thousands of Chicago worklngmen,
that the Danbury decision is the fore
runner of supreme court decisions
which" will condemn all effective
labor unionism as conspiracies under
the Sherman anti-trust law, just as
Lincoln saw in the Dred Scott de
cision the forerunner of supreme
court decisions making slavery a na
tional institution, Mr. Robins did it.
If It was necessary to convince them
that nothing will stop this tendency'
to strangle labor unionism, short of
an emphatic labor demonstration at
the polls next fall, Mr. Robins did
that also. His speech, both in form
and substance, was one of the kind
that become historical landmarks of
political revolution. And his audi
ence rose to the supreme importance
of" the situation.
It will not take many such speech
es before labor audiences or indeed
before audiences of any other class
of fair-minded men to change tho
face of the political situation. Let
it once be generally felt, as Mr. Rob
ins argued, and as the fact seems to
be, that the supreme court of today
is to our plutocracy what the su
preme court of fifty years ago was
to the slavocracy, and startling
events would occur. A vote of de
cisive magnitude from all parties
would come over to those presiden
tial and congressional candidates,
and only to those who, being within
the possibilities of election, are of
such character personally and stand '
upon such platforms politically, as to
leave no room for distrust. It be
gins to look as if organized working? .
men had been forced into a realiza- .
tion of their danger from plutocracy;'
nor of their own danger alone, but
of the danger to all whose prosperity
aepenas upon a fair distribution of.
the products of labor. From Tho '
