Give the Devil HisN Due-f-The Strikers' Side of the Railroad Controversy Diogenes Laertius ascribes to Prota goras the wise assertion that "there; are two sides to every question, exact-J ly opposite to each other! For twenty-three hundred years none has made bold to question this obvious truth in theory, and yet nothing is more rare than the charity of thought essential to its application in practice, to the subject-matters of everyday eonten- tion. . 1 , ' Instance the so-called outlaw rail .road strike. The public says itf is an outrage; the government says 'it' is a crime; organized labor itself says it ' is a violation of contract and a breach of discipline. The "Fighting Quaker" Attnmev General, the. Honorable A. Mitchell Palmer, goes them all one better. He says it is Bolshevism and "Red" revolution. Hear him: "The strike is ,the largest and latest manifestation . of the working out of the program of the International Com munist Party, whose- purpose is to capture tb.e political and economic power, to overthrow the Government and to establish a dictatorship on the part of whajt they call the proletariat, and transport to this country the exact chaotic condition' that exists , in Rus-; sia. True; some very able and conserva tive organs of public opinion such Democratic newspapers as the, New York World and the Baltimore Sun- belittle the Attorney! GeneraJ's jere miad as a palpable attempt , to .boost his presidential candidacy by magni fying the alleged "red? peril and play-' ing up the widespread suspicions of the political aims of labor. ' : If it is politics the Attorney Gener al is playing, it must be admitted that his game is a shrewd one; provided,' of course, his campaign proceedVupon the assumption that the nomination is the ultimate goal and thatthe party prpspect in the election is not to be convention, m J r waicn me cuuservauvc i elements will overwhelmingly pre ponderate, is now a practical certain ty. The rapidly weakening control of - PmuilaTit ,"c f1, AW Vr,o r. anything-like a forward-looking pro- gramme of domestic poHcy-.The great danger is that Mr. WUson will limit his direction to the treaty issue, leav- ing the convention to its own devices on other issues. In that case it may the Palmer flubdub of a;red peril as a handy? screen for the programme of reaction. And this brings me back to -my text, the outlaw strike and the strik ers' side of that question. While the writer adheres strongly to his position that strikes in the 4 railroad service 51 to" inolmieci rVI -Trrm mromr t-vriTi r 0"F view and should be effectually prohib- ited by law -(but only in connection with laws assuring full justice to the workers), he is obliged to concede that it is only a few weeks since Congress, by the clearest implication,- recogniz ed the legitimacy of such action. The only suggestion of illegality in the present strike is founded upon emerr gency war legislation whose appli cability to this situation is none too well fortified in cood morals. .
