That it was precipitated by labor unrest appears to be a more ac ceptable view of the case It is charged by some that South | ern influences, alarmed by the migration of negroes to the North, where they got better wages, stirred up the race| quéstion and fanned it into destructive flames. It is charged | by others that negroes worked for less wages than the| white men in East St. Louis, throwing many of the latter} out of employment | If the labor situation was really the cause of the bloody affair at St. Louis, the nation may well pause for serious re flection. It may well consider the patriotic words spoken by Secretary of War Baker and by Theodore Roosevelt in Fourth of July addresses yesterday Said Baker at New York “We must fight for democracy at home as our armies will fight for democracy abroad. We must a not allow the hours and conditions of men who work in factories and workshops to be upset and interfered with.” And Roosevelt, speaking at Long Island, referring direct { ly to the East St. Louis case, sai “The causes, social and INDUSTRIAL, should be fearlessly and thoroly investigated, so that the primi- tive remedy may be found, and the investigation should blink no fact, however ugly.” It may be well, also, to study the words of Ernest P. Marsh, president of the State Federation of Labor of W ash-| ington, a member of the state council of defense, who joined | with the other members in asking for federal troops to pro. an act of repression against labor, but as a precautionary measure. Marsh declares that the strength of the I. W. W in some places is due to a few shortsighted employers. who refuse decent conditions to the men bs “T told the council,” said Marsh, “that the employers should consider the men who are honestly striving for better _ conditions, and make legitimate concessions.” “Right now it is a patriotic duty,” he added. And it is! In these days of high tension, it is particularly well to study labor affairs with an eye to real human conditions A Man’s a Man Today Time was when it was quite the thing to call a farmer - a “haysee®” ¢ was also called a “rube,” a “hick” or a “greenie.” But that time has gone. There never was any sense in the use of such words. No man is at home in another's sur- roundings. But today the farmer ranks with the soldier as the na- tion’s first line defender.
