N MANY STRKESE Men Who Quit Should Have No Say Over Jobs, Declares L. C. Duncan. To the Editor of The Star: In considering the questions at is- sue in the present grave strikes, there is one important point which does not seem to me to have been sufficiently elucidated. In all widely drawn human strug- gles both parties naturally attempt to base their actions on worldwide and fundamental principles of human rights. If a party can demonstrate that its actions are in strict conform- ance with such an uncontrovertable rule then that party has an impreg- nable position. The present strikers, and all ‘strik- ers, found their right to strike on the great fundamental right that no man may be compelled to work when he wants to quit work. He can quit work when he pleases, otherwise he would be a species of slave. This right in general, is undeniable. But, when the right to quit work is invoked, and in particular when it is invoked in such a manner and by such concerted numbers as to en- danger the welfare of the whole peo- ple, must pot that quitting of work be bona flde—must it not be in ab- solutely good faith? It seems so; it must be so. The man who claims and Good For the Little Folks and Big Folks Too 5 DRINK SHOPS 3034 14th St. 1004 F St. 719 14th St. 431 9th St. 31 9th St. exercises the right to “quit” must actually “quit.” not merely pretend to quit Do strikers actually quit their jobs? Every unpredjudiced man will say no. Their own actions demonstrate the contrary. They make no pretense of really quitting, in their own secret actions, or even in_ public. Every move and stand is made on the theory that the jobs are still theirs. Substitutes Abused. When strikers “quit” a job they still claim to hold it; they at the best, abuse those who take it and those who continue to work by calling them §cab)s (which should be an offense by iaw). When strikers voluntarily “quit” a job, they, without exception, claim all rights of seniority and strive to compel employers to recognize their retention of such rights, even over men who have stood by the employers in time of trouble. Again the truth of the matter is clear; the srikers, when they claim rights of seniority admit that they never really quit work at ali and never intended to. The whole thing was a mere pretense, apparent to all others and admitted by them- selves. Is it not time that this farce of quit- ting be taken at precisely the value given it by the strikers, which is notii- ing whatever? Are they to be allowed to quit a job and hold it at the same time? The right of men, individually and for cause, to quit work appears to be undenfable; though something re- mains to be said when it is a case of thousands conspiring to so quit as to endanger the supply of all the necessi- ties of life.

Responsibility of Congress. Congress will some day provide a real, legal and equitable means for dealing with strikes or preventing them. It will not always act like a primitive com- munity, which fails to provide—in ad- vance—a fire department for dealing with fires, or a health department for handling or preventing epidemics. It will not always wait until the confla- gration threatens the welfare, if not the existence of the nation, and then turn to some extemporized makeshift which merely postpones the evil day. It will not_always leave the President, when such a crisis arises, in the predicament of a fire chief facing a terrible conflagr: tion, but without any organized firemen or efficient apparatus. It is unthinkable that great parties to a nation-wide contest which involves unlimited possibilities for loss and harm to the whole people will long be allowed to settle their quarrels by private war- fare, as did the powerful and ruthless barons of the dark ages. We may im- agine what a storm of imprecations and threats those barons raised when it was suggested that they submit their differ- ences tc legal tribunals instead of “fighting it out” and so involving a large part of the country in strife—even bloodshed. But they did flnally submit ‘| and the age of private warfare, result- ing in lgnorance and poverty for the masses, was followed by peace and Only the (ERERES RN RRRENNNNRNNRERERERERNRERENNRNERRERENEREEEEEENERREEENNENNNNNENRERERNQRRERENHN.] IIIllIIIIIFIIIIIlIlllEllHHHEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII constituted courts.
