BENSON President--Harding College 4 Searcy. Arkansas Undulant Socialism A sick republic, like a human invalid, passes through a crisis in the course of almost any protracted il ness. After the crisis, the patient . rallies toward = rect or sinks with alarming has.e toward the end. Whatever is to ke done after a crisis must be accomplished with dis. pateh,—or it is too late. The Ibns-4 lish government passed through a crisis appr oximately. a year Since set are s eurrent tration proclaimed it Mf ow operator of the coal miné i ; has been viewed popularly a as Socialistic—one of the collectivist nations. Not: all-the individuals in the Empire are socialists. ments—are not. But this large minority is being forgotten. are being drawn. The crisis over and England has gone. left. A Long Time Dead. Thereis something strangely final about it when a free people turns its course teward State Socialism. Liberty néver<comes back without a revolution and then it’s not the same. Such is the testimony of recorded history. Industrially, England is a coal country and private enterprise lost its last stronghold on the enchanted island when King Coal surrnedered. Now the ailment that prostrated John Bull has been communicated to Uncle Sam. The symptoms are unmistakable as undulant fever; wave upon wave of collectivist power, with a show of growing intensity. Our government has_ taken over our coal mines from their owners because of work stoppages through strikes—strikes by the best paid group of mine ee" on earth. Here’s the Pattern I think perhaps the workers ought to have had an increase in pay, which they no doubt could have obtained without striking. Nevertheless, they struck and government took sver the business long enough, at least, to close a new contract giving an increase of $1.85 a day per man and a royalty of 5c a ton on coal to give their union a ‘‘welfare’’ fund. The new ‘‘welfare’’ fund has no relation to the union’s sick and accident fund, already large. The new contract will raise the the price of coal 25c to 30c a ton and build up the ‘‘welfare’’ fund at the rate of 25 million dollars a year. The Senate has approved the executive department’s right to impose this contract on the mine owners when they take their property back. This is an attack of the -undulant socialism. Works Like This: Government can now control the
cost of coal to the owner of a mine: By fixing labor’s wage, a ruler can make coal production cost whatever suits his fancy. Government already controls the price of coal to the consumer through the workings of the OPA. The neck of the coal industry is in a legal nut-cracker and government has the power to choke it to death at will—that, or take it over entirely. With the sanction of Congress, which I hope never comes, federal ‘officials can do to any industry what they are doing to coal. Each assault on freedom will be one more attack of the dread disease, undulant socialism.
