DECEPTION IN ORGANIZATION.
A FEW men organized can make a great noise, and make the public believe they are the controlling power. Thus the masses are cowed into the belief that they are powerless before the organization. So the organization moves on, no matter how destructive the motive, and the masses give way or fall into the line which offers the least resistance, or that for the time seems popular. When the smoke clears away, and the masses come to their senses, they find they have been swayed by a mere handful. Two or three bluffers will "go through" a trainload of people, or a lone highwayman will "hold up" a stage load; and after it is over the victims will begin to realize what they might have done. So it was in the terrible French revolution—hardly two per cent of the people were engaged in it. They seemed to be the whole French nation, but they were not. The so-called organized labor movement represents less than ten per cent of the labor element in the country, yet they assume that all other laborers are disreputable and enemies of labor. Why?—Simply because they do not assist a few men to corner the labor supply, and profit by it. Is this fair? Is it right? Is it manly? Is it anything good?
