The Widening Sense of Honor in National Life
For a' that and a' that.
It's coming yt fur a' that.
That man to man, the wsrM o'er,
Bhull brothers be for a' that.''
OH a' that' the iiarrowinB ntnfe,
nthe strain, th quickening p-'sslon
for mmifT at anv costhe must
be a pessimist Indeed who uVws
not fel deep under It all a power
mighty and old as the hills, now suddenly
changing, widening, and little ly llttlo ris
ing to ths gigantic tank and confronting It.
Tills change Is too new to be set forth in
order, too new to be measured; It Is vague,
deep, perhaps subconscious; and all to be
ventured hero Is a chain of stories of nun
and women In one great American city,
scattered In different stations of life with
vastly different points of view. For In dif
ferent ways Is this rugned old honor widen
ing to the task. The task Is perplexing as
humanity.
In Chicago Is a banker who has been for
years devoting his time aiid Ms energies to
bringing the beauty of nrt and music Into
the life of the people. The Art institute Is
lready'one of ths finest in the world. It Is
open week days and Sundays, too; Its al
nibst continuous succession of exhibits pall
out throngs of all kinds and conditions of
people; its lertures have already an attend
ance of 13.0i0 a year; while In lt. schools
are over 2,5"0 art students come from ail
over the middle west. A surprising scene
In Chicago! And In Orchestra hall, even tin
ymphony evenings, you find the pluce
crowded with people from every stutlon in
M'e, the music lovers, some, of the 4,000 or
$,lKo who gave their money In subscriptions
of from II to $l,li0 e.ich to build this new
. home of music. In such public movements
men like the banker have been Invaluable
guides and advisers. And so they will con
tinue to be when the city begins spending
countless millions on free libraries, concerts
and lectures; brains to build halls, schools,
public baths, lib.-uiles. theaters, that shall
be, not dreary, commonplace structures, but
clvlo adornments that shall endure.
But to drop from llm top to the. bottom of
the soclul scale. Not beauty here; the
struggle Is for food. And food means
wages.
In Packtngtown two years ago a whole
community wus fighting a wage decrease
that meant actual misery to the lower half
of Its families. And there one nlglit I
went with a mutual friend Into the tene
ment home of a watchman, a young giant
of an Irishman, with a slender wife ard a
plnk-und-whtte cradle containing plnk-and-whlte
twins aged 3 weeks, whom we stead
fastly and successfully admired. At last
the talk turned away from babies. Mike
had been making 70 a month in the yards.
When I asked him why he had left, he
scratched his head.
"Though I ain't In no union," he suld,
slowly, "an' don't believe they're always
right, still I kind of feel that the people
this time have the right on their Bide. Nora
and me know what It'll mean to hundreds
of Packlngtown families if thoy lose. So I
stopped, to show wiwre I stand."
lie had been Idle three weeks. His young
wife had been til a long time, and money
was low, and the twins looked very pmall.
Of all seasons this wus the tinia for home
honor against all wider kinds. Stic looked
up from the cradle with a nulek smile.
"Mike hasn't told you It all." she suld,
proudly. "His boss camo ut night and of
fered him 100 down and a raise to R!0 a
month If he'd come back to help break the
Strike. And Mike wouldn't."
"Some day away off," said Joe,, the big
Iceman, "we're goln' to be all honest. Ev
erybody. Even police, even aldermen, even
business men an' Icemen!" His voice grew
low and solemn, though his ryes still twin
kled. "Have you ever seen a Chicago Ice
Wagon start out at 5 o'clock) in the morning
on a hot August day? Have you seen the
driver hitch one end of his scales to a
lamp-post an' the other end to his wagon,
an then drive gently off? Why does he do
It? Because the company given him o
lhuch Ice and he has to sell Just that much,
even If a third of It melts before nihl.
Hoiwst unstretched scales rould make him
pay the company wages. Well, sir, you
can put it In your story that icemen Is
get tin' an' awful wldenin' honor, too. We'ie
goln' to make the company allow for
melting, so that more lone widders and or
phans can b eatln' ice ercuui." The twin
kle suddenly vanished as he added, slowly:
"Whon all sensible people get busy an" set
tle the price of toe, you can bet there won't
be so many tenement babies dyin' In hot
spells!"
"I fight the unions," said a Dig Chicago
manufacturer, "because they're so Infer
nally pig-headed sometimes, and all the
time they want wages to rise too quick. But
I believe In unions, because working-men
make three-fourth of the people of this
city, and I want to see the people get a big
ger share of the money, shorter hours and
a better living all around. And they won't
get that unless they take it, because we em
ployers art human and have families of our
own. The fight Is healthy for both of us.
so Ioiir hs It's fair and square. Home day
we'll bring It to a no-strike basis. Hut look
here." He showed me a pile of typewritten
letter. "Here on the eve of u big strike I
get twenty-four letters from detective agen
cies, who remind me of letters they've avnt
me before, and Fay that If I had used them
In time their men would now be members
In the union of my boys, even leaders, di
recting tha union by day and takine: my
orders at night. All of 'em give references
from employers whose names are too well
known for me to let you see 'em. And I
say It's iv dlpgrace!" He struck the letters
with his fist. "Some employers can be Just
as crooked as some labor leaders, and that's
siiylne: a good deal! To keep tho fight
healthy, with any chance of prosperity,
peace and order way ahead, the honest men
on both sides have got to get busy and see
fair play and oust the grafters! Mean
while" he turned to his desk with a quiet
smile "I'll fight these plg-hf adwl boys of
mine till they learn that I'm boss here Just
as much as they are. I'll teach 'em, oh,
I'll teach 'em square."
"Teaching squar-s" Is not asj When ths
teamster strike of lS'G was called, It was
soon known In inner circles that the strike
had been started solely for the purpose of
graft by tho ring who then controlled the
teamster body. A certain reporter found
dellnlto proofs. This reporter bad once been
a labor leader himself, and since then ho
had been the authority around whom many
Other reporters and Ignorant magazine writ
ers gathered. Incidentally he had help d to
arbitrate dozens of labor disputes, for, be
ing a slightly conservative Scotchman, hs
had warm friends among employers as well
as men. Ho hesitated now, because It is not
pleasant to be called a traitor by your old
labor comrades. But the next day his pa
per printed the truth.' The next day, the
next week, the next month, this man was
execrated and threatened from all sides
but kept on. One night, in spite of warn
ings from friends, he went for news to the
weekly teamsters' assembly; and on his
way out he was Blugged from behind by a
big fist with a brick In It, he was Jammed
up against a wall, and the next Instant a
revolver was pointed Just between his eyes.
Luckily, he had more nerve than his op
ponent. I.ust week, when I Informed him that he
had a widening sense of honor, he gave me
a slow, suspicious Scotch grin.
"Is that ths same as social uplift?" he In
quired. "Becauso I'm not an upllfter of ths
Ignorant poor; I'm only a democrat who be
lieves the people can uplift themselves. I
believe in uplifting only grafters, especially
that man with the brick In his fist. And
don't mako any mistake," he went on,
growing suddenly serious. "Most of the
union boya think the same way. And we've
all been getting busy, and in Chicago half
the labor grafters have already been up
lifted!" Two years sgn I knew a quiet, wiry,
honest looking man, whom I will call FYnnk
K'.dder. At 18 Frank had come from ths
far west to Chicago, with his wife and
baby, and had taken the only Job he could
find driving wagon. By cutting sleep
down to five hours hs kept up his old law
studies, "because later on It might corns
handy." In two years his employer put
him In charge of nil the five wagons, at
$28 a week. He studied ths business. Some
railed him a comer.
But the teamsters had begun to organize.
In some thirty branch unions. Frank
thought it over and decided that the union
would be a good thing for ."the boys" If
honest. Hs began to watch. lie soon sus
pected the leader of his particular union,
and began slowly to "uplift" him; and
this he kept on. In spite of wholesale
threats and bricks in fists, until at last
the Ignorant but fair play loving mass
of teamsters gathered behind him and
shoved. And before Rldder knew It hs
was the local leader himself.
A year later,' as his power grew, a certain
Chicago employer told him how foolish he
was to wp.ste his time as a leader at 130
a week when he might be making a future
that would give to his wife and babies the
th'.ngs that all of us like. He ended by
offering a position at $33 a week, and
promised an early raise. Rldder refused
the offer.
He refused all high offices In the national
organization, kept his old humble position,
and raised wages In hjjs small union, with
out a strike, from 111 to 116 a week. And
meanwhile, day and nlg!it. In big meetings.
In small committees. In hard talks with
men alone, he helped slowly to open the
eyes of the teamsters; until two years ago,
with an overwhelming majority behind
them, his group went to the national con
vention, ousted three-fourths of the ring
and put lit their own men. lie himself
took no office.
But "reform waves" are as common In
unions as In politics. Ths old teamster
rln? made a last desperate effort. Helped
'as has been proved since) by som Jj.liO
from a huge Chicago concern which wanted
a" strike to be called on the bouse of Its
rival, the ring rose and scattered money
f h r and wide, and shouted speeches ultout
the rights of worklngmcn, nnd hejran the
great strike of 1!HX. which threw Chicago
Into chaos.
Rldder spoke against the strike and told
the truth about lt-and faced the storm.
One dny on a crowded street he wus met
by one of the ring, who had offered him
money before. This time the man only
smiled.
"Frank," he said, "I guess you know me
pretty well. This Is a big game, ain't It?
It would be a pity to let one man's life
stand In the way."
"That's all right. John," said Rldder,
comfortingly. "You know I spent flvs
years down In Arizona. And" he put his
hand In his pocket "one man's life don't
need pity."
When the long, useless, shameful strike
was over the only teamsters allowed to
retain their union buttons were the mem
bers of Ridder's little union, which he had
kept out of the strike. Then, little by
little, ths man who had been cursed nil
over Chicago as "the employers' spy who
sold out his friends" was again restored
to power. Very slowly, for tho ring wa
strong and rich, and the masses were su
n'clous. In the end Ridder's new honest
crowd resolved to secede from the old body.
Their new organization began and grew:
In the last six months It hns doubled, and
now It includes nearly half the Chicago
teamsters.
"A better living all around." To obtain
this for all of us we need much more than
honest unions. The people are slowly
rousing to the fact first, that the city
touches their l'.ves at a hundred vital
points already and does not half fulfill Its
duties; second, that the city inisht per
form many other services now very poorly
done by private corporations; third, and
most important, the people are beginning
little by little to feel that thry are the
city, that each man owes to the city Just
as much as the city owes him. Tint this
rousing Is only in waves at election times,
and between seasons the burden falls on
the shoulders of a few-some wise, some
very foolish; some undeniably honest, some
undeniably grafters.
In a big city department Is a weary tech
nical expert. In the old days his ch!.-
used to tell him many times a weel:
"Kindly hand me a technical report sayln
that Jones & Co. have submitted the ver
best and lowest estimate of all the crn
tractors." This he did. snd If any lndi
nant citizen came to complain thit all tr
Jobs were going to Jones & Co.. who we
sad bunglers, then the placid chief won
nhaw the report of his expert. And
bewildered untechnlcal citizen would v
slowly and sadly away.
But two years ago came a tew ch
young and strenuous and capable, who
once proclaimed, "No favoritism of a
kind will go tn this office!" The w
expert was delighted, and began sendlr
In reports of this tenor: "Jones & Co. hav
submitted an estimate about twice as hlq
as It ought to be. I may add that Jon"
& Co. have never to my knowledge don
a decent piece of work."
One year passed and Jones & Co. wer
ruined. Dozens of honest non-polltlcsi con
tractors crowded round tha expert. Thr
delighted, official grew proud In the knowl
edge that he was serving his follow men;
he worked night and day, his salary was
raised, hs worked harder still until at last
this particular office was practically honest
and efficient throughout.
But meanwhile the enthusiastic young
chief had resigned, hla sense of honor hav
ing widened far beyond all bounds. And
the expert Is now struggling along, his
salary reduced even below what it was at
first, his clerks all smiling and sneering
behind his back, large politlcans sitting
proudly before him with feet on his desk,
while he wearily grinds out ths old-style
technical anthems to Jones & Co.'s glory.
In this sad tale there Is one spot of
brightness. Never before has the offieo
been so pestered by citizens, doubly indig
nant and almost "technical" now, because
thy have seen what an honest chief can
do!
"A better living all around " More whole
some homes. Both In New York and Chi
cago you hear scores of stories of men and
women, doctors and nurses, who have beer
drawn, little by little. Into tenement and
dispensary work, until now the great part
of their energy Is devoted to this move
ment for giving decent homes to humanity.
This, too, Is not to be done In a year, per
haps not In many generations.
"Widening sense of honor? Bosh!" pnld
a medical friend of mine. "I'd rather do
It, that's all. I'm sick of living with mil
lions of neighbors who are forever getting
sick and anaemic and crippled and dead.
when there Is really no S'-nsn In It! Soma

Isn't It? without any sense of honor at
all!"
Hs averages six hours sleep, and hat
learned to catch naps on the elevated.
"A bettor living all around." And for
this the thing we nil need Is not only a
widening honor, but a widening wisdom to
match. Great political and economic move
ments sre beginning, and ate undoubtedly
going to make sweeping ctvinges that may,
In time, affect the constitution Itself. Never
has there been a lime when informed,
thinking citizenship was so deeply needd.
And the beginning of citizenship Is the
school.
The school Is not now what It should te,
mainly because the average public s;h jo
teacher receives not quite ths same yearly
wage as the union hodcarrter. But thl.s is
soon to be changed In Chicago, under
the new charter, millions of dollar will
undoubtedly bo spent on schools !n tha
next ten years. Provisions are being nuide
for a more businesslike expenditure of
funds. New Ideas of education are coming
Into the school board. Miss Jane AJdains
has become one of Hs rnembcis.
In one of tho high schools works a
teacher who six years ago was an archi

build men than houses, and he hjis ben

useful, practical niechmics, who shall be

he hus amply influenced hundruds -t 'toys
who must later, by their ballots, help to
settle great, perplexing, vital questions,
who must help, by being practically fa!h
ful. to build a nation of real voters.
In another part of the city Is a woman
teacher who has changed a school. At
first she gave all her thought and energy
to her single class-room. But then she
began to feel that she, like every other
teacher, had wider responsibilities. She
believed that the, school should be the
