"A labor paper Is a far bet

A labor paper, for example,
having 2,000 subscribers Is of

RAYMOND ROBINS MAN.
Come again, Raymond Robins!
Your stay was all to brief, but brief
as it was you walked right into the
hearts of the men and women who
heard you. Many of them had heard
of you; none of them had heard you.
But now that they have sat under the
spell of your voice, have listened to
your impassioned plea for the down
trodden and the oppressed, felt the
inspiration of your presence and been
aroused by your eloquence to step for
ward and insist upon having their
own, they are proud to know you as
one of them.
There are a thousand homes in Lin
coln, Raymond Robins, where you
can walk in, throw down your grip,
shove your feet under the table and
stay just as long as you like. There
are a thousand homes that are
brighter today than they were a week
ago, because you have been in Lin
coln and aroused us to a fuller realiza
tion of our responsibilities as men and
as citizens. You brought us a message
of hope and of cheer. You brought
us a message of goodwill. You
brought us encouragement to aspire
to better things, to demand more of
the fruits of our toil, and to make the
demand intelligently and justly.
It's good to meet a man likeryou
a man who is of us and with us and
for us. It's good, because your elo
quent tongue has framed our hopes
and aspirations in such language as
do do not possess and which is
needed to make clear to the under
standing of others that we are not
demanding any more than is our due
as the great element in society that
feeds all, clothes all and houses all,
It 8 good to have a man like you
come among us and tell the public
that persists in misunderstanding us
just what we mean; to explain that
we, in our blind, stumbling way, are
trying to do something for our fel
lows and for ourselves; trying ' to
dynamite the hovels, not the palaces;
trying to live up to righteous laws,
not to oppose them; trying to build
a better citizenship by giving our
children a better opportunity than we
have had.
You are doing a magnificent work,
Raymond Robins the work of a mes
senger of good cheer and of hope
You come as one crying in the-wilder
ness and saying unto those who have
walked upon the necks of the toilers
for a thousand years, "Repent ye, for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand-!
Organized labor is wonderfully bene
fitted by your all too brief visit. Men
and women who have been prejudiced
against us by a lying press, know
now that we are striving to lift up, not
to tear down; that we are trying to
help, not to hinder.
God was good to you, Raymond
Robins, when he gave you an elo
quent tongue to voice the feelings
born in your big heart a heart that
beats in warm sympathy with op
pressed humanity. "But God was
good to us when he sent you to be
our champion. Would that there were
more like you.
Come again, friend. A thousand
doors are open to you, a thousand
good right hands ready to be extended
in friendly greeting, a thousand hearts
beating with love for you and your'
splendid work. And when next you
come we'll turn out in greater num
bers to hear you. We know you bet
ter now than we did.
THE SHOEMAKER AND HIS LAST.
Col. John J. Ryder, deputy labor
commissioner of Nebraska, is a royal
good fellow, a staunch union man and
a man of parts. Time was when we
grossly misunderstood Col- Ryder be
cause, unknown to us then, we were
misinformed concerning him by those
who bore false witness. - Then we said
things for which we were sorry af
terwards, and for which we humbly
apologized.
As deputy commissioner of the la
bor bureau of Nebraska Col. Ryder is
doing a splendid work. But when
Col. Ryder deems it his bounden duty
to speak with the voice of the public
official in defence of the powers that
be he rather weakens the force he
might better be expending in further
broadening the scope of the bureau
under his charge. On several occasions
Col. Ryder has rushed into print ' in
the columns of the local republican or
gans for the purpose of defending poli
tical action. That is all right. But
it is all wrong for Col. Ryder to make
it appear that because of his official
position he speaks as one having
authority. It is then that he speaks
as Col. Ryder, the politician, not as
Col. Ryder, the chief of the labor
bureau.
Early in the week Col. Ryder rushed
into print to denounce the oft-re
peated statement that William
Howard Taft is the "father of the in
junction." But that pronouncement
was the pronouncement of the politi
cian, not, the student of industrial his
tory. True it is that Mr. Taft was
not the first judge to issue an injunc
tion in a labor dispute, but his -, in
junction orders were of such a nature
that they became precedents in that
sort of thing, and today we see the
result in supreme court decisions that
make it illegal for a union man to do
that which it would be perfectly legal
for him to do were he not a union
man. To such a pass has labor come
through the precedent set by, the
amiable and doubtless honest and ca
pable Mr. Taft!
It is because Wililam Howard Taft
embodies the injunction idea as it to
day applies to industrial disputes! that
this humble little paper opposes him.
He is the embodiment of an idea that
spells industrial slavery if acquiesced
in by the toilers of the country, and
all the rounded peridds, all the politi
cal palever, of even such a silver
tongued orator and ready letter writer
as our good friend Ryder cannot
change the fact. . The decision of the
supreme court in the Danbury hatters'
case is a natural result of the Taft
decision in the Ann Arbor railroad
case. And unless that supreme court
decision is reversed reversed peace'
ably by the great thinking public a
natural consequence will be a de
cision that the men who strike against
intolerable conditions in an industry
doing an interstate business will be
subject to fine and imprisonment.
Facts are stubborn things, and or
ganized labor is faced by some very
stubborn facts these days. And or
ganized labor , is doing a pqwerf ul lot
of thinking, too.
As chief of the labor bureau Col.
Ryder is doing a good work. In that
capacity we are proud of him. But
as a friend we would advise him to
stick to that last and not undertake
the job of convincing his labor
friends that Judge Taft is a friend of
the workingman.
How would-you like to forfeit your
little home and go to jail for the hein
ous offens of -refusing to work under
intolerable conditions? Unless re
versed the. supreme court decision in
the Danbury hatters' case will lead to
just that. Think a bit.
Mr. Taft's supporters should offer as
a campaign document a picture of the
Cincinnati jail that housed the locomo
tive engineer he sentenced to impris
onment for daring to assert bis right to
refuse to injure his fellow workers.
Ever notice that the man who op
poses organized labor is either the
man who finds his opportunity for ex
ploitation curtailed or the man whose
opposition is based on a false basis?'
For president, William Howard Taft,
the father of the injunction." For
vice president, James Schoolcraft
Sherman, "ice trust magnate." Plat
form: Workingmen, get off.
'There may be some question about
the constitution follyin' th' flag, but
divil a bit o' doubt about the supreme
court decisions follyin' the eliction re
turns." Mr. Dooley.
And. the injunction plank of the Chi
cago platform lacks a whole lot of
"voicing the views expressed by Mr.
Taft when he was hunting for dele
gates. In trying to sit on the two stools of
anti-injunction and satisfaction for the
union buster, the republican national
convention fell to the floor. ,
"American Industries," the organ of
the National Manufacturers' Associa
tion, James VanCleave, president, is
warmly supporting William H. Taft
The Square Deal," edited by Charles
W. Post, is warmly advocating the
election of William H. Taft. Remind
you of anything, Mr. Workingman?
Mr. Gompers was allowed ten min
utes before the committee on resolu
tions at Chicago. He ought to be glad
that he was allowed even a look-in.
Now wouldn't it be bully if we had
as nice a Labor Temple as the building
Mr. Rockefeller gets credit for having
built, but which we built for him?
"O, to hell with the labor vote we
can whip tnem into liner 'mats
the way the machine politicians have
it figured out. Are they right?
Sounds good to hear one of labor's
greatest advocates preaching union
doctrine from the pulpits of our big
city churches, doesn't it? ;
Organized labor is not asking that it
be accorded special privileges. It is
merely asking that it be accorded a
common privilege.
The writ of injunction is a necessary
legal remedy but we want the kind of
an injunction that offers redress, not
injury. ' ,
They haven't made a demand for the
label illegal yet. But it is illegal
to ask your friends to demand the
label.
God made the coal for everybody.
We have merely been idiots enough
to let a few men grab it all.
The supreme court has reversed
itself and that's a precedent for the
people to reverse the court. ,
What's the use of paying dues and
then voting to make trades unions il
legal? Think it over.
Ballots, not bombs! But justice
will be secured by one or the other
