第8章 THE CLASS STRUGGLE(6)

Association, is leaving no stone unturned in what he feels to be a desperate effort to organize his class.He has issued the call to arms in terms everything but ambiguous: "THERE IS STILL TIME IN THEUNITED STALES TO HEAD OFF THE SOCIALISTIC PROGRAMME, WHICH, UNRESTRAINED, IS SURE TO WRECK OUR COUNTRY."As he says, the work is for "federating employers in order that we may meet with a united front all issues that affect us.We must come to this sooner or later....The work immediately before the National Association of Manufacturers is, first, KEEP THE VICIOUSEIGHT-HOUR BILL OFF THE BOOKS; second, to DESTROY THE ANTI-INJUNCTION BILL, which wrests your business from you and places it in the hands of your employees; third, to secure the PASSAGE OF THEDEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY BILL; the latter would go through with a rush were it not for the hectoring opposition of Organized Labor." By this department, he further says, "business interests would have direct and sympathetic representation at Washington."In a later letter, issued broadcast to the capitalists outside the League, President Parry points out the success which is already beginning to attend the efforts of the League at Washington."We have contributed more than any other influence to the quick passage of the new Department of Commerce Bill.It is said that the activities of this office are numerous and satisfactory; but of that I must not say too much--or anything....At Washington the Association is not represented too much, either directly or indirectly.Sometimes it is known in a most powerful way that it is represented vigorously and unitedly.Sometimes it is not known that it is represented at all."The second class-conscious capitalist organization is called the National Economic League.It likewise manifests the frankness of men who do not dilly-dally with terms, but who say what they mean, and who mean to settle down to a long, hard fight.Their letter of invitation to prospective members opens boldly."We beg to inform you that the National Economic League will render its services in an impartial educational movement TO OPPOSE SOCIALISM AND CLASSHATRED." Among its class-conscious members, men who recognize that the opening guns of the class struggle have been fired, may be instanced the following names: Hon.Lyman J.Gage, Ex-Secretary U.

S.Treasury; Hon.Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, Ex-Minister to France;Rev.Henry C.Potter, Bishop New York Diocese; Hon.John D.Long, Ex-Secretary U.S.Navy; Hon.Levi P.Morton, Ex-Vice President United States; Henry Clews; John F.Dryden, President Prudential Life Insurance Co.; John A.McCall, President New York Life Insurance Co.; J.L.Greatsinger, President Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co.; the shipbuilding firm of William Cramp & Sons, the Southern Railway system, and the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe Railway Company.

Instances of the troubled editorial voice have not been rare during the last several years.There were many cries from the press during the last days of the anthracite coal strike that the mine owners, by their stubbornness, were sowing the regrettable seeds of socialism.
