Golden said the alien contract
labor law was being violated whole

"Isn't it true," Representative
Wilson asked, "that these big con

posters showing the American work
ingmeu with a bag of gold over his
shoulder returning from work to his
beautiful home?"
"Oh, yes," replied Golden, "and I
have no doubt that some of these
striking Lawrence operatives have
kept those posters as relics."
Representative Campbell wanted
to know why Golden persisted in
speaking of the Lawrence strike as a
revolution
"Our conception of a strike," ex
plained Golden, "is one that is
brought about in a systematic and
orderly manner. But in this instance
there wasn't a soul on God's earth
who know five minutes before the
pay envelopes were issued with the
first reduction taken from them as
a result of the 54-hour law that there
was to be a strike."
Golden turned toward Represen
tative Berger and shook a rigid fore
finger at that gentleman. "And it
is all the fault," he declared dramati
cally, "of your Ettors and your Hay
woods, who have gone there to
Lawrence and poisoned the minds of
the mill workers. They have not
preached trades unionism to them
but absolute anarchy."
"That's a lie!" shouted several of
the girl strikers loudly, and again
the committee room was in an up
roar. Chairman Henry again threat
ened to clear the room Unless the
disorder ceased.
"Is the industrial workers of the
world an organization of anarch
ists?" asked Representative Pou, of
North Carolina.
"As a result of their conduct in
Lawrence, we so claim," said Golden.
"Have they urged violence?"
asked Mr. Campbell.
"Yes," replied Golden. "One man
said the gun shops had better get
busy, because he was going out and
buy a revolver."
"Who was that?"
"Ettor," replied Golden.
"He never said that! That's a
lie?" came the chorus from the
strikers
Again Mr. Henry insisted upon
order, and it appeared that he meant

Representative Berger took a shot
at Mr. Golden's demand for au gen
eral investigation of the textile in
dustry. "You surely don't think," he said,
"that there is any chance to get an
investigation 'of cotton mills by this
democratic house?"
The southern members on the com
mittee resented Mr. Berger's re
mark. "
Timothy Healey, president of the
brotherhood of stationary firemen,
was the last witness. The hearing
was continued.

He was the small son of a bishop,

"Supposing," she said, "there were
twelve boys in one bedroom, and
eleven got into bed at once, while
the other knelt down to say his

THE RIGHT TO DISCHARGE
Denver News: These United States
are dedicated to the proposition that
&l men are equal and that sovereign
power is vested in the people. Yet
we are now asked to believe that the
servant, once elected, becomes tho
master. The people, having named
a representative, are supposed to
sink out of sight and let him do as
he pleases. Any attempt to retain
control or exercise authority is bit
terly resented as an insult, an attack
on representative government. In
plain words, the people are intelli
gent enough to elect but too untrust
worthy to direct.
Only in public life does this absur
dity pass muster. No private . em
ployer surrenders authority over his
employes, but enforces his orders by
the power of discharge. Can anyone
imagine a business representative
speaking to his superior in this
fashion: "I do not recognizo your
right to give me instructions and will
act according to my own judgment.
Of course, I promised to do certain
things, but that was before you hired
me."
Yet this is what we are asked to
endure from our public servants. As
a consequence of our surrender of
the power of discharge, our com
mands and desires are disregarded
by councils, legislatures . and offi
cials. It is to meet this situation
that the recall has been invoked. It
is the right to discharge for dis
obedience, dishonesty or inefficiency
the privilege possessed by every
private employer, and without which
the performance of duties can not be
enforced.
The recall is not a new thing. It
was in the bill of rights in every one
of tho thirteen colonies, nor was the
judiciary excepted. All of the early
judges held office "on "good be
havior," and instead of destroying
fearless impartiality, as is now
claimed, the revered forefathers held
that the recall was "necessary to the
independency of the judiciary."
The recall does not mean that the
people have ceased to respect the
courts, but expresses a growing feel
ing that the courts have ceased to re
spect the people. It is not with the
adjudication of private disputes that
there is complant, for it is incon
ceivable that any individual litigant,
no matter how just his grievance,
could gather 25 per cent of the elec
torate to his support.
It is with regard to such decisions
as effect public policies that the
Tjfionlo comnlain those decisions
that do not rest on law or precedent,
