AMERICAN l.nOIOV INSISTS

One of the principles advocated by
the American Lejrion is that of making
the KtiRlish Innjjuae a fundamertnlly
American ipiilde. Tho legion is pro
eminently ritfht on this prupositirri.
Tho union committee at 1'itlsburKh
used seven lanuagca in Rending nut
itn call for a strike. he independent
steel companies in another town used
nine lanpunes in call in if upon the.r
employes to remain at work.
Hore is stnrtllnj;: proof of the need
of Americanization work. One of the
greatest labor Birutflcs In the world
is on, eat principles are at stake, yet
the (rreat majority of the workers af
fected must bo addressed in a medley
of foreign tongues.
Wit ohanrt is here for the exploit
ation of labor by the unprincipled,
what small hope that capital enn make
Its position clear and present its farts
bo that these men will grasp thorn
fairlyl How ensily ran tho honest
purpose of tho labor union be twisted
by a mere labor agitator and mob rule
be precipitated!
One of tho great wolfaro organiza
tions in New York has considered
theno matters and is specializing in
Americanization work among adults in
shop and home, realizing that the chil
dren will get more of it in school and
that If the work is not carried on
among tho parents, families will draw
apart and bitterness and unrest be the
result.
There is no time now for quibbling
or for hesitancy. The Knglih lan
guage must go into every homo in ev
ery community. If the grout bodies of
laboring men are to decide great qtiov-,
tions fairly to themselves, or to deter-'
mine wisely what is best for the com-1
mon welfare, they must speak one'
common Inngunge, the lnngiinge
this country.
It may he that the advice to keep
ri'ht on Uyi's. in onlrr t r ln-M up tr
Luiiifies equilibrium v;;im all right at
tho timo it was uivvn, wul it r y -.
