WK ARK in ivci'ipt of a voluminous clipping defending the open
shop. No iiiiiiu- is sini'd, hut the portions underlined indi
eale that our ciintrihiitor helieves that our recent editorial on Presi
dent Grace of the Jlethlehem Steel company was a plea for the elosed
.simp.
Of course, it was nothing of the sort. AVhat wo condemned was
the autocratic attitude of the steel company in refusing to sell its tiro
duet to a reputable anil Useful concern like the Fuller Construction
company, heeausc lhat company employed union Inline. We placed
that sort of capitalistic tyranny ill the same culejory with the union
lahor tyranny, which would refuse to allow the transportation of food
anil milk, heeausc non-union Inlior had hecn employed, lioth poli
cies were condemned, as examples of attempted class domination, iu
xufferalile and imlelViisihle in a free democratic society.
In our opinion, if America's system is to endure, there must he an
abandonment of extreme positions on holh sides. A middle ground
must he found, not liecnuse a middle ground is the easy way, hut he
cause il is the only rijiht way. The middle ground is merely the
(.round of the sipuire deal, and this prohleni can only lie permanently
settled, on tin basis of (he square deal.
There are many good people, who invariably confuse conciliation
with cowardice. They can't .see that il oflon taken more courage to
hi' fair, I tin ii to he fractious. No one ever accused Theodore Roosevelt
i f leiii( timid, and yet it is Theodore Roosevelt's record in his deal
ing with lahor Irouhles, as endorsed liy such a union lahor leader as
. 1 1 1 1 1 Mitchell, which supplies Hie present proponents of conciliation
with t heir strongest precedent.
The foundation of this policy is the admission that lahor and
capital, have an cipuil rijilit. to organize. The essnlial corrolary is
thai Hie power of such organization must he applied, not with n view
to selfish interest, hut with a view to the welfare of the people as a
whole. When cilher organization oversteps the' hounds of jcond citi
zenship, and seeks lo dictate to free Americans what they should
and should not do, then is the time for society to call a halt. '
If Mr. (iraee's policy is riht, tievn John I). Rockefeller has the
iicjit today to refuse to sell a drop of as to any firm that doesn't
atrrec with him on matters of hus'uiess and political policy. For the
issue is not one of law, hut of policy.
AVe hold the Fuller Construction company should not. have been
forced to suspend business, to .'1111111(1011 necessary construction work,
at i; sacrifice to the public and itself, simply because its policy was
lo employ union labor. As the manager of the company said he found
union lahor more, satisfactory and more efficient, lint Mr. (irace not
only defended his action, he declared such action would he continued
in the future, and the Fuller Construction company must cither tell
Hie union to no to the devil or io lo the wall itself. For with a vir
tual monopoly existing in the fabricated steel trade, this is what such
an ultimatum amounts to.
No, it can't he done. And it will not, he done. Until the capi
talistic autocrat and the lahor autocrat, must to if American institu
tions are to survive.
