NOME. ALASKA. OCT. 3, 1916.
The Boston Herald remarks that Kx
J'lorer Stefansson will not return to
civilization this season and that he
isn't missing much civilization. It
may he added that Stefansson is near
er civilization than he knows, for it
is now we are told at St. Michael.
The wind these days reminds one of
that Irish king of whom we sometimes
sing who marched his soldiers up the
iiili then marched them down again.
I'or a couple of days it blows violently
from the south piling up the water
along the lieach, then with equal vigor
it snorts out of the north and low tides
prevail. And of one thing you may be
sure "the next day it rained.” Mebbe
liymby. snow come.
That the public always pays the bill
is becoming more emphatically true
every day. A few years ago capita]
was the force that added a new burden j
to the consumers' back every time a
melon was cut. A couple of railroads
wore merged, the combined capital
stock of both before the merger was
doubled and the people compelled to
Pi, v earnings enough for handsome di
vidends on the water. Then there was
a general uprising against such things
and they become very unpopular. The
captains of high finance acknowledged
their sins, repented, and promised to
i>e good forevermore. Whether they
have kept their promises or not we do
not know. But It is certain that we
read no more of the sickening details
whereby a few favored gentlemen are
able to divide up millions of profits
on deals made with insurance com
panies funds, and such things. The
finance captains found that they had
lost the confidence of the public, that
they were pariahs, and that whereas
once they had dictated to the high
officials in state and nation what was
to bi done, that whereas they once
had created and owned judges and sen
ators, now they were repudiated by
their former slaves and could not even
g* t justice. It became notorious that
corporations of a certain class, rail
toads, steamship companies, street car
i ompanies and in fact nearly all largo
concerns could not win a case before
a jury. And when the court of ap
peals no longer was owned by them
they simply had to be good or go out
of business. The public became unjust
10 large concerns merely because they
were large and because public feeling
goes in waves which when started
continue unrelentingly in waves until
their course is run and then they go
back again. The public used no judg
ment. All big corporations were’ bad
just because they were big. The
clamor was no better than the ravings
of certain agitators that all rich peo
ple are bad people the corrollary of
which naturally is that all poor peo
ple are good people. One la as untrue
as the other, there are good people in
all walks of life and bad people too.
The captains of industry having had
their turn as robbers of the people,
as criminals at the bnr, and as repen
tant sinners under a suspended sen
tence, we now find ourselves face to
face with another group of men Just
as eager to rob the public on as large
a
a scale us they may, Just as rcpacious.
and just as regardless of what hap
pens to the rest of the people and they
are the labor unionists, more particu
larly those connected with transporta
tion. When conditions arose such as
occurred with the approach of the pres
ent fall when much freight had to be
moved, the trainmen saw a chance to
I put more coin in their pocket at the
expense of the rest of us and they
grasped their opportunity. As Mr.
Garretson, president of the order ol
railway conductors put it, "The public
is the carcass and we are all, perhaps,
the vultures."
When the railway strike threatened,
the companies were willing to arbi
trate but the men were not. To avoid
ihe railway tie-up which would fol
low a strike, u weak congress weakly
passed the eight hour law. Of this
act it has been said by a thoughtful
observer "if these unions can force
congress to act under duress of a
threat to imperil the life of the na
tion, and if then can l>< no hearing
of the merits of ihe issues, then our
society has broken down, it means
that when the unions are strong
enough they can force what they want,
no matter how light 01 how wrong
they are."
The passage of the eight hour law
meant the giving of *50.000,000 to |
400,000 workmen. This loss will not
come on the railroads. Not al all.
The people will pax it. President Wtl- i
son did not expect the railroads to
pn\ it when he signed the bill. For his j
first suggestion was that a commission
should be appointed to inquire into the
propriety of raising freight rates.
It doesn't make much difference
whether the public pays unjust tribute
to capital or to labor. One is as bad
as the other. Capital under the pres
ent system is entitled io a fair return.
Also, labor under the same system is
entitled to more than a living wage
for a reasonable day’s work undei !
decent conditions, if either one uses
its political power to the detriment oi
the rest of us it at once becomes a
public menace.
A very good xvax to avoid anothet
such shameful chapter in American
life as the passage of the eight houi
law would seem to he the enactment
of a compulsory arbitration statute so
framed that there xvould be no es
cape by either party to the dispute.
Capital is pretty well fenced urounc,
by commissions of one sort or another.
It seems desirable also to put a limit
beyond which the undeniable power o
union labor may not go. We nearlx
used the expression "united labor.'
There is no limit whatever beyond
which united labor may not go. But h
Is never united. |
