Labor In Politics Or Class Versus Country PDF Download

Excerpt from Labor in Politics or Class Versus Country: Considerations for American Voters Before passing on to my subject, let me first appeal to the new voters of 1920, especially the women and the young men of the American Legion, men and women keenly alive to their new powers and responsibilities, to study and value, severally and for themselves, the facts presented here. I put the women first, because (1) it is the family at home that suffers first and most from loss of wages and privation entailed by strikes - oftentimes called by Labor autocrats who themselves suffer not a cent's worth meantime; also because (2) it is the wife and children of the nonunion man against whom is turned the meanest and deadliest weapon of trades unionism, - social ostracism among neighbors, the odious word scab shouted at women and children in the streets and at schools; and finally, because (3) in all history the women, once roused, have shown themselves more heroically and sometimes more bitterly partisan than their husbands.
