Br BOOTH TARKINGTON Of ThmVjgUmmM In wartime the Mrike In not the rem- rdy fur profiteering. Publicity end no tion by the government nre the reme died for profiteering. Profiteering thnt Dl burs on a atrlke I. In effect, not hot ter thnn treason; but a atrlke may It self be an attempt to "profiteer" and therefore not better In result than treason. Kvery sensible person, how o it. understands that workmen nre entitled to aa high wage an Ihcy ran ' got without Interfering with the utmost possible efficiency of Industry engag ed In the prosecution of the war. A aiiikf aaea ItAtggafa with uch effi-1 clency. anil therefore mentis a larger casualty Hat and Increased danger to the country. That Is to say: If I am a war Industry workman on strike I am prolonging the war and adding to the rlak of America' defeat la the war. Thla means thnt I cause death and wound to a certain number of Ameri can bnyg who would have come home aafe and sound to their mother If I hmln't gone on strike. That I the atm ple truth : and If I am Impeding a war Industry by going on strike, I might Juat aa well have torn and tortured the hodlea of thoae boya myself. The re aponalblllty la so terrible that no work man who understands It would taka It, ! eicept to avoid a greater amount of , torture and death at home through . starvation wage. Arbitration will give him what he needs and whnt he Justlflnbly wanta. ' The whole country understand that a , workman cannot live today on the . wage of ten years ago. Wages have . got to advance, of course, aa fne price of commodities advances: anil th price of commodltlea advances, of J course, aa wages advance; though It la to tbe advantage of tbe workman to i Itt the price of commodltlea begin to advance first. But bla wages must taka account of higher prices, and per mit him not only life, liberty and the pursuit of bapplneaa, but allow him to aava, aa well. That la all that any man on this earth la entitled tn wheth er he be garbage man or kalaer : and It is all that la worth getting: and tbe Ideal of thla country la that every man shall have It. Thla Is what w are t fighting fer: that no man sbnll take away this right from another wan. that no man shall make another man his slave, a the Germans have made conquered labor their slave and aa they would make slaves of us If they I conquered us. , Now such Is the temper of our coun- try that the responsibility for a atrlke which menus more death, more crip pling, more blinding, more shot away faces, for our young men, aona of j worklngmen and aons of capital! fighting side by aide and comradea ' "over there," as they will be over here when they come home the responsi bility for such a strike Is an Infinitely heavier tad more dangerous thing than thoae who rashly assume that re stMinslhlllty can know, and no decent humau being could be so selfish snd so treacherous to his country aa knowlng- , ly tn bring about such a strike. And the temper of the country In thoae daya Is to know causes aa well aa results. Where the greedlnees of a profiteer has caused a atrlke, hla money will not be envied him for he shall not have It, nor hla I berty either. And It la unthinkable that American work men, or workmen who are human beluga, for that matter It Is unthtnk able that rhey will strike, even for mere Justice, without having to the last ut most atom of their energy pressed for settlement by arbitration The syndicate service, founded by Bntanel (lomiiers and representing tbe point of view of the American Federa tion of labor, reports an addreea by i Moaaee. president of the Pat tern linkers' Union of ('.rent Hrltaln. naaeaj was speaking In the Ijibor Temple In San I Re seld: " were requested to uhrogiltg our working rulea and agreement . . . lo give up everything thnt tended to re strict output. . . . Being staged thnt it. is on necea-u ire ile aired to tee the entire world sin ed bj Herman autocracy, we roomo In. luted thnt our unions Hiibiiilt to the request muile by the . . . This meant that there was tu beno stoppage of work during the war. It meant the acceptance of compulxon arbitration . . . We have seem , fj better results through arbitration than by resorting to the strike, which ehotihl be used aa a last reeort after all else has failed If th's Is done, the strike weapon will rest In its scabbard." And Mr Mossi said another thing worth thinking about. "Today labor In Greet! Britain Is more prosperous than ever before In its history. . . . Our Inducer- la greater than oyer lie tore aad e ir worker are enjoying wealth beyond ihe dream of avarice.' Not osyly at arbitration neceaaary, but It pays! PASSING OF MR.
