Jerome Jones of the Journal of Labor
Makes Reply to Joe Brown and Calls
Him “His Recrudescent Excellency”
Ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown is
going far out of his way to condemn
the trade unions of the country in the
series of diatribes which he is now
contributing to the press. Jerome
Jones, editor and publisher of The
Journal of l.abor, makes the following
reply to ex-Governor Brown:
“His erstwhile excellency, Joseph M.
Brown, has let fly another arrow at
organized labor, this time using the
foreigner as the bogey man. Perhaps
it is a parthian dart, but we have our
3a>.bts. Candidly, we had hoped for a
different sort of letter, a more logical,

more forceful one—a letter which did
not reek of appeal to ignorance and
prejudice—but one bristling with what
argument there may be against the
labor unions. For we DO know that
the point of view sometimes governs
the conclusions of able men, and, re
garding the Marietta Receptivist as
an able man, we were anxious to take
up the matter of his argument and
refute it if possible.
But the governor disappoints us in
this second foray into the field of
publicity, and, like a great many other
public men, he is seeking to prove a

proposition upheld by labor ten or
twenty years ago, with this exception:
What was done, was done, and could
not be remedied, and labor sought to
make the best of a bad situation.
Where Mr. Brown stands in a measure
today, labor stood then!
The ex-governor tells that section of
the proletariat of Georgia which last
week he failed to stampede with the
"negro brother” bogey, that there is
also another Richmond to be slain,
despite his Richardly behavior in the
previous encounter. This time it is
foreign domination —the transforma
tion of the character of the unions by
the admission ol foreigners. “Little
Joe" is right. There has been a heavy
influx of foreigners in this country,
and it has practically all found lodg
ment in the field of industrial (manu
facturing) endeavor, and none of it
on the farm.
But let us go back a bit further,-

U'
THE AUGUSTA HEftALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
governor. Three eases, if we remem
ber aright, were referred to in your
pronunciamento No. . The first was
that of a body of striking Italian
miners who were deported from Geor
gia. Now, do YOU not remember,
Mr. Brown, HOW and WHEN those
ignorant, armed Italians manned the
mine from which they were driven?
Certainly you SHOULD know that
these Italians were IMPORTED to
take the places of convicts. Just at
that time the convict lease system had
been abolished and the mine owners,
wanting a class of labor as near on
a parity to what they had been using,
selected the Italians. They were pre
ferred to sturdy Anglo-Saxon Geor
gians and Tennesseans and Kentucki
ans, who would have demanded the
right to collectively sell their labor.
And an Italian broker was called in
and he “sold" these “devoted and
loyal" workmen to the coal company
and provided thorn with a padrone
through whom all communication with
the "devoted and loyal" was had.
But conditions, while they suited
the coal company, did not suit, the
poor, fleeced immigrants, and the lat
ter, having brought with them the
vendetta as a means of settling pri
vate quarrels, started to redress their
economic grievances itt the same way.
They- were, however, not organized.
Labor had opposed their appearance,
but from force of circumstance was
compelled to make the most of it, and
sought to lift up the Italians who had
taken their brothers' places ns an al
ternative to dropping down to the so
cial scale of the padrone-owned Itali
an immigrant. The exile of these men
was a violation of the genius of our
institutions, and it was part and par
cel of a country-wide system of ter
rorism to which labor has been sub
jected in the last twenty-five years,
and which bred the Iniquities which
have blotted the pages of recent his
tory.
But in the Georgia incident the
foundation was laid in the sight of
all men. Labor protested against their
employment. It was seeking then to
prohibit the immigration of foreign
ers because of the very evils which
followed.
Will ex-Governor Brown say that he
was THEN opposed to these stiletto
armed, threatening Italian immigrant
laborers ?
Again, ex-Governor Brown's “for
eirn-controlled Federation" bogey is
even now seeking to have passed legis
lation which prohibits tiro Immigration
of such men as the “foreigners" who
now excite the gore and fire the in
dignation of Mr. Brown.
Will ex-Governor lßown say that he
favors such a bill as tile Burnett Im
migration bill?
Let us now proceed to Michigan,
where anarchy and war have prevail
ed. Without in the remotest touching
the merits of the question, does the
ex-governor know how THESE par
ticular foreigners came to be mining
copper on the shores of perhaps the
most beautiful of the Great Lakes?
They were immigrant strike break
ers who were taking the places of
English, Scotch, Irish, Welsh, Swedes,
Danes, French and Germans. the
sturdiest stock in all this world, the
stock whence ex-Governor Brown ami
other good Southerners came: the de
scendants of the mightiest of the
mighty; the vanguard of civilization;
the keepers and guardians of human
liberty. And when the Polaks and
Lithuanians, the Magyars and Czechs,
the Serbs and Russians descended in
a mighty flood like unto the Tartar
horde of Qbenkig Khan to take the
Places of the liberty-loving American
ized and English-speaking union min
ers in the Mesabu region, the latter
turned their faces to the setting sun
with the instinct of man and went—
To Colorado!
Hut the Poles anil Magyars In the
foreign horde that took their places
on the Gogebic range were descend
ants of the Goths and Huna, and de
manded the liberty which they came
here to seek. They organized. They
wanted approximately the conditions
for which their predecessors struck.
The operators had grown in riches and
in inoslence; they had organized their
private armies of thugs and murder
ers these Boston intellectuals who
own tlie dominating copper companies;
the 100 tar cent per year fortune had
poured into their coffers they felt to
he theirs by divine right, and when
the Polaks and Magyar* struck they
turned loose their mercenaries"to In
dulge a lust for blood—and pay! And
they slaughtered women and children
in the copper country, just oh they arc
slaughtering them in t'oloradu today.
And still AMERICANS are leaving
reparation to God. They are merely
seeking to preserve the country if not
FOR Americans, at least upon the
American standard of living!
And to help this, they are furnish
ing the striking foreigners who forced
them into exile and threatened the
economic stability of the whole coun
try with food to keep them alive and
out of industrial slavery.
Furthermore, to prevent future re
petitions of these occurrences, they
urge the passage of the Burnett im
migration bill.
Now let us go to Colorado, that
seared and seamed and chasmed scenic
wonder that lies In the lap of the
Sierras. Thither went tho locked-out,
English-speaking union miners. Tliei
they sought that peare which had
been denied them In tho Middle West.
They were happy and prosperous In
the days of Independent mining. Then
came consolidation, and the Rockefel
lers and Guggenhelms and other fi
nancial freebooters whose Idea of ihe
rights and privileges of property run
counter to humane thought, to every
Idea preached by the beautiful Christ.
For them money Is breviary and
heads; on their journey to whatever
hell may greet landers on tho yon
side of the Styx, these freebooters
mean to have all there Is to be had.
With their knowledge obtained at
Homestead, In the Mesaba region, and
elHewhere, they turned to a private
detective agent—that stench In the
nostrils of decency—the Felta-Bald
win aggregation of Januaries and
thugs. They sought to break up the
unions. They did everything that liny
accuraed tyrant of history ever dared
to do, and more.
.Stirred to wrath, and under leader
ship unmindful of the teachings of
men like Gompers, Mitchell, Morrison
and other national leaders; the hur
ried miners struck blindly out- and
ten years ago this very month of May
was begun the Introduction of that
very foreign element against which
ex-Oovernor Brown declaims • and
which has met force with force. There
