That versatile brain o f his has never permitted its owner to absorb anything o f the problems o f the working man from actual contact with those problems. These are the only conclusions that can be drawn from the ignorance displayed in a discussion o f organized labor by The Spectator. Never having been a laboring man, never having had to wash the grim e from his hands, never having learned anything first hand o f the trials of the worker, it is no wonder that the editor of The Spectator makes himself ridiculous when he undertakes to dissertate upon the beauties o f the open shop for labor and the closed shop for capital. Alw ays being an employer and never an employe, his vision is so limited that he can not see why a laborer should have any rights beyond those capital is willing to grant. I f all capital were like that directing The Spectator, those rights would be mighty few. The Spectator would drive union labor from Portland; it would say to the world, ‘ ‘ N o union labor employed here; capital here is supreme. W e do not want the working man; it takes capital to build : r i Livi ili, It ia impossible to be an angel on Sunday* and a devil on week days.
