BOLD WORKERS AND TIMID SOULS.
Several years ago an English court held
that striking employes were liable for dam
age in ease of strike. The British House
of Lords sustained the decision. Defeated
in every court, the workers awoke to their
helplessness, raised the cry: "Trade union
ists for parliament," and at the following
election placed 35 of their fellows in the
English law-making body.
And the notorious Taff Vale decision was
repealed, after the workers defiantly an
nounced to their rulers, "If you don't re
peal this decision, that endangers our
homes, we will sweep the island at the next
election."
The mighty English government dropped
to its knees, and a law was passed, called
"The Trades Disputes Bill," providing, in
short, that if an act is legal, when done by
an individual, it is LEGAL FOR A COL
LECTION OP INDIVIDUALS.
Strikes were thus legalized, and now
English women and children are never
threatened with having their homes confis
cated for damages if the men refuse to
work under debasing conditions.
How was it done, you say?
Listen: Men like Kier Ilardie, Ransley
McDonald, Ben Tillett, Vietor Grayson, and
scores of others, are real LABOR LEAD
ERS. They showed the utter helplessness
of workers" WITH THAT LAW UNCHAL
LENGED. They didn't fawn or truckle.
They didn't tremble before imaginary
power. They dared the government to
move, if their fellows would only stick.
These men were not interested in jurisdic
tion fights, nor did they jockey for indi
vidual gains. Nor did they use their office
to prove their conservatism against iniquity
and wrong. More than this, they refused
to beg for favors at the hand that enslaved
them.
In America, at the present time, "the
property of Danbury Union Hatters is tied
up by the same sort of proceedings that
brought on such a revolution in English
politics.
But we had forgotten the incident until
the Steel "Workers are asked to "fork over"
$200,000 damages for daring to strike.
Nothing is said by our lady-like labor press
or our genteel officials, who are not expect
ed to move as long as the "ghost walks"
and our membership remains docile.
Probably the old-time politicians will
some day take pity on us and desert the
powers that place them in office. Then,
AND NOT TILL THEN, will the American
labor movement's present course be vindi
cated. -
So let us continue to pray and beg, lest
we be called "radical." Toledo Union
