LABOR FIGHTS BOLSHEVISM In the most recent issue of the K-L News, published by the Bemidji Box company and its associate plants, appears the fol- lowing under the heading “Labor Fights Bolshevism,” which is worth reading closely. 4 e “Bolshevists” is an anarchistic class seeking social im- provements. A The main reason why Bolshevism has gained no footho}d in the United States is our great middle.class. While we still have a large amount of too poor people and a large amount of too rich people; yet we have in the American mlddle_class a safe-guard against Bolshevism, and this is what distinguishes us from Russia, and the various countries of Europe. Of course our social conditions are not all perfect yet. We have, without knowing it, for the past fifty years, gone through a cycle of so- cial improvements. We have learned that rash, hasty decisions and improvements are not always the wisest. We have learned . to consider the results of our actions. So when American labor does not follow suit and overthrow the government, burn down the factries, destroy homes, loot shops, and kill individual am- bitions, we know it is because we have learned from our own experience and from the history of other countries that these methods are not the proper means of improving our social, liv- ing and financial conditions. Education and common sense are the most effective methods. * When we read as we did the other day in the Chicago .Tribune that an important I. W. W. leader who was condemned to be deported to Russia, (his own home) has chosen to be shot rather than go back, we know that these anarchist “extre- mists” .are slowly being exterminated by a sane and healthy attitude of the workiing class. When we put through the law of “work or fight,” we gave these anarchists a knock-out blow they will never revive from; for they breed chiefly among hoboes, idlers, unemployed, or enslaved people, and when “Organized Labor” fights them openly and with legitimate pro- paganda as in the “Labor Digest” and “Labor News” we know that labor itself is aware of the danger of having anarchists around. that Labor is alive to the fact that it may be alright to have consructive criticism, helpful suggestions and needed improvements for the working man. But they need not be in- ducted through murder, riots, strikes and blood-shed. - What Labor wants is mostly a chance to live and be happy; not “slavery,” or merely “existence.” They have seen too much of the comforts of life of other classes that are better off, and knowing that they supply the chief force in accumulating wealth, naturally want a fair share. There is nothing they like better than “work” but they also want enough remuneration to make a living. However, when Labor clamors for wages and gets it, they are throwing a boomerang at themselves, for added expense means increased cost of manufacture and that means increased cost of living. ‘'Then with cost of living in- creased, Jabor will “hollar” for more; and will again increase cost of living to cover the first price-increase and so it goes on year after year. In the long run, labor is no better off, for it isn’t what we make that counts; it is what we save, and get out of life. ] 0— & THE FOURTH/OF JULY - ¢ ’About a year ago the Fourth of July was observed as a festival in countries to which it had no .previous significance. It was celebrated in France. It was even celebrated in Eng- land. It is a matter of record that it was observed in England with even more punctiliousness than in France. In plain lan- guage, they made a fuss over it. George V took an official part in the ceremonies, and there were services in cathedrals, and pyrotechnics—both chemical ahd oratorical. There was flag-waving, parading, and promis- cuous demonstrating. In this country considerable comment was made upon the official participation of George in the ceremonies. Not that George counts for much, either here or there; but George is a remote descendant of George III, whose personal humiliation is commemorated in our national festival. By what rule of logic George V should be restrained from celebrating the humiliation of George III is difficult to grasp. George V is the son of the son of the niece of the brother of the son of George III. He is the flea on the tail of the dog of the Wild Man of Borneo, so worthily acclaimed in ancient vaudeville. If the remote ancestor of a cousin of yours was hanged for horse-stealing, that fact doés not in any way compel you to champion horse-thieving as a polite diversion. Representative govérnment was established as a precedent in England in Cromwell’s day—shortly after the Pilgrim Fath- ers sailed. Only an accident prevented Cromwell from emi- grating later on. George III, impregnated with autocratic ideals by hig German parents tried to stifle this Anglo Saxon instinct both in England and in the colonies. Contemporary lit- erature proves that public feeling in England was solidly antag- onistic to him. On this continent the frustration of his purpose was quick and decisive. In England it was gradual, but completing. We may well unite on both shores of the Atlantic in celebrating this anniversary.
