Boalt “Business is business All his life Samuel Gompers has been hearing that rankest of platitudes and watching its destroy- ing influence. “IT have come to hate it,” he said to me today. “It seems to tell such a simple truth. ‘Business is business!’ of course. But, oh, it has told so many, many cruel, subtle lies! “It is a drug. It soothes the troubled conscience ~——and destroys it. Because you are money-mad, you take to it as a drug-fiend takes to opium. But it does more than destroy your conscience. “Business is business!’ you say, and make your men work 11 hours a day instead of 10. ‘Business is business!’—and you cut the wages of your men 5 per cent. “The wives and children of your men eat a little less, wear a little poorer clothes. Fewer men are needed to do your work, and recruits are added to the army of the unemployed. | “You are a good man. You are sure you are | a good man. You obey the law. Your private life is blameless. Perhaps you go to church. “Whatever you do in your business, so long as you keep within the law, is justified, by “bu ness is business!’ “If you would know the full destroying power of that hateful platitude, turn to the cotton states of the South. “There you will find employed in the cotton mills white children—babies even—illiterate, stunted of body, dwarfed of mind, vacuous, dull, never laughing, stupid, hopeless, witless children. “The negro children de not work in the cotton mills. If they work at all, it is in the fields. The negroes cannot be driven into the mills. “While the white children are slaving in the mills, the black children, in the fresh air and the sunshine, are growing strong, straight bodies. “WHILE THE WHITE CHILDREN ARE SLAVING IN THE MILLS, THE BLACK CHIL- DREN ARE GOING TO SCHOOL. “THAT IS WHY | SAY THAT WHEN THE PRESENT GENERATION OF CHILDREN IN THE COTTON STATES OF THE SOUTH HAVE GROWN TO MANHOOD AND WOMANHOOD, AND IF THE LITERACY TEST IS APPLIED TO VOTERS, THE WHITES WILL BE DISENFRAN. CHISED AND THE BLACKS ALONE WILL VOTE. THE BLACKS WILL BE THE SU. PERIOR RACE. “It’s legal to drive children into the mills. “It’s legal to make them work desperately, un remittingly, for starvation wages; to give them never a chance to play in the fields, to laugh and romp; it’s legal to keep them from school, to stunt their bodies and dwarf their minds—to make de- generates and imbeciles of them so that they will wither and die young. “It’s legal—and, to the mind of the conscience- drugged employer, moral, too. ‘Business is business!” ’ “Do you wonder that I hate that platitude?” WASHINGTON BUILDER OF WHITE SLAVE UNIVERSAL [INDIANAPOLIS CAR FULL OF WAR EMPIRE HAS WITNESS TO LABEL PLAN EXCITEMENT BAD GROUCH BECOME NUN IS REFUSED Secretary Bryan and President Star Reporter Has Terrible Evelyn Nesbeith Gives Up Wilson in Secret Con- ference Today SITUATION Time With J.
