: To Hang for Truth is to Murder Freedom

Selected for the Golden Dozen
From 100,000 Editorials
The Cobourg (Ont.) Sentinel-Star
* o .

_ They hanged Foster M. Russell, pub-
lisher of The Cobourg Sentinel-Star, in
effigy on Saturday in Port Hope.

‘He was hanged for his editorials.

: He was hanged on an issue of opin-
ion.

He was hanged for upholding the
right to work, i

There he was hanging from a rudely
constructed gallows on the rear of a
striker’s station wagon, hanging by the
neck.

It is, a cold, comfortless thought for
any Canadian to have an opinion, and
then. face the consequence.

To be hanged for truth is to murder
freedom.

It is to deny the parliament of man,
the watchword of Canadian House of
Commons: “Walk proudly through the
home of all our freedoms. Feel yourself
welcomed. Stand silently amid the brave,
proud ghosts of men who forged our na-
tion. Look thoughtfully on word-drenched
walls, thick with a hundred years of his-
tory. Breathe deeply of an air that is, to
you and yours, the very breath of life it-
‘self — for being Canadian, your breath
of life is freedom. Guard carefully this
heritage, that freedom’s house may stand.”
"The disturbing part of the strike in
Port Hope was the fact that Nicholson
File Co. of Canada Ltd. was on the outside
of the issue. The majority of The United
Steelworkers of America Union docal
6497) wanted to impose its will on the
‘minority: The latter did not wish to sign
union cards and pay union dues.

Today the strike is over, but the is-
sue isn’t.

‘Some non-union employees of the
plant capitulated and signed cards, but
some did not. The force of evil did not en-
tirely triumph. It never does.

To say that no one was responsible
for this strike is to skirt the issue. The
blame lies ‘irr bly on the should
_of the USWA.

It is true that a clandestine ‘form of
force was used to induce some non-union
workers to sign cards and usurp their
own rights. This paper is aware of an inci-
dent in one home where a striker was

_ But the hanging of a. publisher in

effigy carried with the act the gross ig-
norance of those who perpetuated the
deed. ;

He was hanged for opinion.

This was a dastardly act.

To deny opinion is to. put every Can-
adian outward expression of thought in

jail.
. It is to damn the right and uphold
the act of murder.

But perhaps these words are beyond
the ken of the common hangman. He
understands blood-letting but’ hasn’t the
guts nor the intelligence to stand alone
against the mob for the right to work.

Is there truth in numbers? Many

the hypocrites.

Since August 19 until today, Sept.
30, 25 per cent commercial business has
been lost in Port Hope. Factory orders
for overseas have been per tly lost

and some significant Canadian’ business
has gone elsewhere.

This whole problem is not one for
Port Hope alone. It concerns Cobourg and
other Canadian communities.

There should be no more strikes and
definitely no more picket lines. These are
archiac artifices of the past. Labor unions
should be required to come up to date
in their thinking. The strike is part of
the horse and buggy age. It is- unintelli-
gent, frustrating, degrading and penal-
izes innocent men and women and child-
ren. This makes the strike an act of brut-
ality.

‘When members of a labor union hang
in effigy one man for his opinion, they
pronounce their own death’ warrant, and
in perspective they despoil the future for
their own sons and daughters:

“Breathe deeply of an air that is, to
you and yours, the very. breath of life
itself .. . for being Canadian, their breath
of life must be freedom.”
