LABOR IS SURE TO
COME TO ITS OWN I
John Haynei Holmes Sayi the Time I
Will Come for Industrial
Disputes to Go.
TELLS OF RULE OF B AEONS;
"The Industrial despot of tbe
Rockefeller type must go Just ts
orely as the despot who ruled in the
political world by .'divine right Jim
one." said John Haynes Holmes,
, Unitarian lecturer of New York, In
- hit address to the Commercial club
at a public affairs luncheon at noon.
"In the political world all through
history we had despots who ruled by
tflrlne right, aocalled. Here and
there in the pages of ancient history
we find that ' a 'benevolent despot'
ruled. By a'benevolent despot they
Imply referred to a king who by
some chance, had a vision, and ruled
with some wisdom for the good of
big people. Just so today we have
the benevolent despot in the persons
of Henry Ford and Patterson of the
' Caen Register fame. But the very
- Tacv mil inry am bo nuvcu mu iu
much talked about shows bow rare
they are.
"T da not wonrtpr that, some peoplo have
become so enthusiastic ovrr the , rood
these men have accomplished that they
believe here Is the soluLlon to the whole
Industrial problem. To my mind, however,
it la not a solution at alt. These 'be
nevolent despots' of the Industrial world
cannot live forever, any more than the
benevolent despots of the political history
f ancient lands Uved forever. When they
pasa en their sons or helra will take hold
of the management, and there Is no guar
anty whatever that the business will be
conducted along the same benevolent
lines.
Id Bearlai at the Bottom.
"No, I have no faith in this revolution
that begins at the top snd works down
ward, I have more faith In the revolu
tion that begins at the bottom and works
pward. I have more faith In the revolu
tion that begins In the sentiment of the
workers who auffer at tha hands of the
Industrial despot.
"The establishment of trades unions,
the timed shop, and all that. Is nothing
snore than tha fight for democracy In
Industry."
The speaker declared that democracy
haa rained auch a bold In England that
conscription there will come only on the
terana the labor people will dictate.
"There they have a silly little puppet,"
"he said, ""a, tailor's model, who alts In
Buckingham palace and wears the braid
as a kind of symbol of tha government,
but ha haa absolutely no power except
what the cabinet glvea him, and the cabi
net glvea him only what tha people allow
me cabinet to give blm. The Houae of
(Lords used to cut a large figure In tha
affairs of government, but when they at
tempted to ' interfere with the Lloyd
George budget they were shorn of their
power so quickly they are even yet won
dering how it happened."
Coatrola Colorado.
. The sneaker cited what k. ...
- " ... i t j 1 1 u n
me ridiculous situation of -Rockefeller
practically controlling Colorado and
calling the t'nlted States itself to time
In the big strike situation of a few
years ago. "When tha situation grew
aertoua." aald the speaker, "the preal
dent ef the United Statea aent an am
bassador to . call n King Rockefeller
Just as exactly aa ha would send an am
bassador to call at the court of a
foreign land. And that ambassador bad
t knock on the door of the Rockefeller
castle Jusv eiaetly aa he would at the
palace ef a foreign king. And Jut as
a despot of old would sit In his palace
and decide whether to give audience or
whether to' oonstder the . propositions
made, so this Industrial despot decided
tbe terma of the president of, the
president cf the Vnlted States could not
be considered."
Labor Tomes to Its Owi,
Tha speaker declined that tnojgh one
ba socialist, or follower, cf any ,other
Induatrial philosophy, he must recognise
that tha change .would eventually come,
and that labor ami come to its own. and
that Juot aa Ourth. tha swineherd of
Beotfa "Ivmjjhoe." chained to bis pig pen
at night by a ateol collar, haa come to
bis own. so the blackened miner In
tbe pit will in: centuries to coma reach
hla proper level, and will be oontroling
the induatrial altuatlon Instead of the
industrial baron of today.
"It is only a phase of the age's long
fight f of democracy," ' he said.
