Miller Because they exercised the great American right to organize, 90 employes of the Western Union Tele- graph company in Seattle have been locked out in Seattle. Of what can the officials of this company be think- ing? Can it be possible that in this, the year of 1918, when on the battlefields of France oceans of blood are being shed for democracy, justice, and for the opportunity of making the world a decent place to live, there could still be any great factor in American life which would persist in treating employes like so much property? * trict Superintendent I. N. Miller does not care t ifferences between his company and ed he says, lly, dt would not be a welcome topic of for him. + But these are war days. Mr. Miller's company » owes something in the of patriotism to the gov- ernment. It owes at lenst the decency ‘to take no drastic step until after the federal mediator has had time to act in the case. To rush into a lockout is clearly as ba an act on the part of the Western Union as for any labor organization to rush into a strike without having first’ presented an opportunity for mediation. In contrast with the unpatriotic action of thé Western Union company, mark the attitude of the telegraphers, who voted to remain at work while their right to organize was being determined. They even offered to continue government work after they had been locked out. Mr. Miller does not care to discuss the case. can blame him? One can only sit back with amazement at the gross stupidity and asinine autocracy of the company. Does it think this is 1800, or 1900, or 1910, or even 1916? THIS IS 19138.
