THE STAR _..- JAY SEPTEMBER 1911. revolt of the Jacquerie of France, and of its sanguinary en? All down through history, if you look carefully behind the “official” annals, you will come upon these dreary tales of labor uprisings, of “strikes” that were foredoomed to utter de feat before they began. Well, nowadays there are few strikes that are foredoomed to failure, Indeed, most of them are successful—spealeing in the narrow sense, for in the long run ALL strikes are success~ ful. Even Spartacus, dying valoriously with the remnants of his army, was more the victor than the Roman. who led the legions against him, But the average labor victory of today, unlike that of Spartacus, is concrete, the kind of vietory that the newspapers—some of them at least—will record as such, the kind that historians must take into account, And therein lies inspiration and hope. Standing shoulder to shoulder, the workers are waging war with the masters of Capital and Privilege on pretty even terms, And the true story of that war can’t be suppressed or blotted from history. It is Sometimes, in those depths in which he so often finds the worker is driven to wonder if the age-long struggle industrial freedom isn’t vain after all. Doubtless many a miner of the Greensburg coal field, having fought through of the most stubbornly contested strikes on record, only lose out at the last, is today questioning the good of it—the ifice of money, of labor, of life even; the walking barefoot in ‘the snow, the living in rotting tents; ail the bitter privations of ‘that long fight among the Westmoreland hills. To such, who ery from the depths, Labor Day is apt to seem a mockery But theirs is the narrow outlook. From their valley of ‘shadow they can't see beyond the confines of their own little The broader view, the view that takes in all the sweep the present and past of labor, is anything but discouraging. her, it is in the highest degree inspiring. For it carries a ppe, that amounts to a certainty, that labor will yet come to pits own. i Look back at the workers of other days. Their history is ‘not easily accessible, for the taskmasters have written and| being printed in installments every day, plored it—are doing it yet in a measure—but if you dig deep Thus every recurring Labor Day shines brighter with the you will find the stories you seek.
