Norman Philip ABERDEEN. LABOR AND THE LABOR UNIONS NOT AGAINST CONSCRIPTION The following letter appeared re- cently in the Toronto Daily News. It is from the pen of Bernard Rost, of Montreal, and deals with the war from the Viewpoint of the labor unions generally. He and the big; majority of labor men throughout. Canada resent the utterances of James \Vatters, who professes to be the oificial representative, and James Simpson, of Toronto, who. under Labor’s cloak, is seeking to ndvonce the opinions of his partic- ular cult of Socialism. The follow- ing is the letter: PaciI’ists, antiâ€"conscript i o n is t s, lose-the-war politicians and others of that ilk, have counted largely upon the opposition of Labor to the. selective draft in their expecta- tions of the Government changing its attitude and suspending the en- forcement of the law. Several of the soâ€"called spokesmen of the working class and organized labor, have criticized the law, saying that Labor. as a whole, was against it. They wished to make the public believe that organized Labor and the working classes are by no means interested in the overthrowing ol’ the Kaiser and the military party. Some who proclaim themselves Socialists have stated that the pres- ent war is a capitalists‘ war, en- tirely overlooking in their absurd reasonings and conclusions that Gustave Herve, the world’s greatest anti-militarist, is heart and soul in the present conflict and one of the most bitter critics, not only of the German military machine but also of the German Socialist party. Those who court notoriety in the name of Labor by denouncing the Government and those who opposed this measure. have endeavored to prove that in promoting the welfare of one‘s country, the working class- es are not interested: in other words. if the Cent ‘ai Empires were \‘it‘tOI‘iOllS that the workmen, or- ganized and unorganized, in demo- cratic cmmtries would have the sumL‘ rights and legislatiVe oppor- tunitios L1t' immioviig their materâ€" ial \\ L1] farm, as thev havn under the benifiwnt 1L1rm L11 gm ommont th1‘ vxi is in cunniries “here the #111100 Hf :‘111 11L1\\ 01' is L11L1 people. N0 rnuntry in the world is better e‘xvmplicutinn of this than Grem Britain. Although the reI_)resentn- tives of Labor in the British Parliaâ€" ment are few in number, they Wield an influence far greater than their number would entitle them to, were it not for the fact. that their fellow members in Parliament recognize that while their numerical standing is small. they nevertheless speak on behalf of millions. The English workman is practical; He dreams not of an economic para- dise where man does not labor or spin, but is sensible enough to un- derstand that all etfort in the dir- ection of improving his condition lies in the adoption of such means as are ready to hand. and can be utilized to his immediate advant- age. It is ,due the the British workman's realization of his power and Opportunities which the sysu tem of government provides, that he has made up his mind to do his whole part in the present conflict in order that. the good work which has begun in the direction of reâ€" !form. may continue and 'be still i more fruitful. While it is quite easy to rail at} the profiteers and others who have} derived great pecuniary benefits} from the war, the fact. neverthelessf remains that the gawernment can, if it sees fit, and is influenced there- to by them asses of the people. ex- propriate the largest part of these profits for the benefit of the State. And While discussing this phase of the question. we must. not over- look the fact that thousands of workmen have also profited by the war. True. they may be. employed in the making of munitions. but that does not alter the situation as to the increased earnings which they receive. From a munition worker‘s standpoint, he has every-- thing to gain if hostilities are t) tcontinue. His own welfare afi'ects lhim first, and While he might de- ‘plore the war and sympathize with those who have given up their all for their country, he knows that Interests of Working Class. Power to Expropriate. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. the quicker the war is ended, the sooner will the source of his ben- efits be. closed. No democratic Government can favor in the interests of its people the continuing of war which by its very nature is destructive. The normal life of all nations (I except the Germans) is to pursue the arts of peace, since by so doing is the welfare of the whole peOple best promoted. Labor, therefore, as an import.- ant and component part of the na- tion, is vitally interested in having the war brought to a close as quickly as possible in order that the Governmtnt may function norâ€" mally. When any one or more soâ€" called Labor leaders take it upon themselves to oppose any measure dlesigned to hasten the end of the war, they become the enemies of the very class whose cause they mol‘ess to serve. Pte. Stevenson’s Letter. Â¥ The item published in the press lot" this and other cities that We. IEdward John Stevenson, at present in khaki, has decided to seek the support of his fellow-citizens, on the best of adequate reinforcement of the men overseas is a clear, em- phatic and patriotic repudiation of, the vicious principles enunciated by the President of the Trades and Labor Congress, and others who, for reasons best known to them- selves, are prepared to sacrifice the men in the trenches and deny them that aid to which they are entitled because in supporting the Governâ€" ment’s measure, they will be doing something contrary to their own views. The language in which Pte. Stev- enson’s letter is couched, shows that he is a man who thinks, and deems it a necessary and patriotic duty on the part of labor, as part of the Canadian people, to take ad-: vantage of every means to reinforce the men at the front. In writing as he does, he has not said anything contrary to the interests of labor, while he has placed himself on record as opposing “the assertive spokesmen representing a small minority of Canada‘s wage earners” who “misrepresent the views of the great majority on the dominant problems of our share in the \var." The future of labor in Canada is bright with promise. Such promise can only be fulfilled if the war 5 won. and we are allowed to go our way, unafraid of tyrants and Teu- tons. Hence, the duty of Labor, or- ganized or unorganized. is. to do as much as in its power lies, togetl or with the other classes, to help win the war as speedily as possible. Labor’s Interest in Victory. A Big Plumber’s Bill. The party of tourists were watching Professor X as he ex- humed the wrapped body of an an- cient. Egyptian. "Judging from the utensils about him," remarked the professor, this mummy must. have been an Egyptian plumber.” xâ€"vâ€" “Wouldn’t it be intertsting," said a romantic young lady, “if we could bring him' to life?“ “Interesting, but a bit risky. re- marked Professor X.
