THE
RTGHT
TO
STRIKE
WHEN
C.
Gordon
Cockshutt
rc-..
cently
before
the
Canadian
Chamber
of
Commerce
pointed
out
that
there
is
a
difference
between
the
right
to
strike
and
the
wisdom
of
doing
so
he
uttered
a
truth
which
'has
been
too
little
realized
before
recent
strikes
called
attention
to
it.
;;
There
has
been
and
still
is
a
vast
amount
of
confusion
in
human
thinking
about
rights.
To
some
a
right
must
be
reasserted
continuously
and-Stridently.
It
must
be
exercised
on
gvery
possible
occasion,
regardless
pf
the
consequences
to
the
community,
to
other
individuals
or
groups
or
even
to
those
exercising
it.
They
f-'ee
a
challenge
in
every
question
and
an
infringement
in
every
action
iif
others.
When
Mr.
Cockshutt
declared
Jiis
recognition
of
the
right
to
strike
.he
was
setting
forth
a
belief
now
generally
accepted
throughout
democratic
countries.
It
is
no
longer
in
dispute.
Hut
it
has
not
always
been
so.
Organized
labor
fought
a
long
battle
for
recognition
of
that
right
and
the
habits
of
thought
acquired
vluring
the
conflict
still
motivate
many
union
actions.
Rut
recognition
of
the
right
to
strike
does
riot
mean
that
it
can
and
should
be
used
without
the
.most
careful
consideration.
As
Mr.
.Cockshutt
indicated,
the
wisdom
of
,'using
the
weapon
is
another
matter
;'al
together,
one
that
is
solely
concerned
with
the
immediate
benefits
to
the
worker
and
not
with
any
basic
principle
that
was
formerly
the
subject-of
conflict.
These
past
few
years
and
especially
during
the
past
12
months
;unions
have
shown
a
strong
tendency
to
take
.
strike
action
possibly
without
weighing
carefully
the
prospects
of
gain
or
loss.
Outcome
of
recent
strikes
show
the
necessity
of
'
;Using
good
judgment.
When
business
management
ventures
on
a
new
undertaking
it
airways
examines
its
expectations
with
care.
They
balance
possible
gains
against
possible
losses.
That
is
what
business
does
when
it
undertakes
a
.
new.venture
and
it
is
what
Mr.
Cock-rshutt
meant
when
he
pointed
the
difference
between
"the
right
to
;
strike
and
the
wisdom
of
doing
so."

TOKYO
TRIALS
WITH
the
hangman's
noose
ending
the
long
episode
of
Nuremberg,
a
few
persons
here
and
there
may
wonder
what
is
happening
to
the
war
criminals
in
Tokyo.
For
a
variety
of
reasons,
the
Tokyo
trials
seem
a
second-rate
affair.
Deprived
of
the
opportunity
to
set
a
new
historic
precedent,
as
the
German
trials
did,
they
lack
the
reasoned
dignity
of
a
high
moral
issue.
From
the
first
hasty
and
haphazard
arrests
last
year,
and
the
ensuing
bewilderment
of
lawyers
and
investigators
lost
in
the
little-known
intricacies
of
Japanese
politics,
the
proceedings
have
had
a
somewhat
amateurish
air
which
has
not
Ieen
lost
on
the
more
astute
Japanese.
Among
the
latter
the
complaint
is
frequently
heard
that
the
real
JapAnese
war
criminals
have
not
been
arrested.
The
difficulty
is
that
there
is
no
well-defined
group
of
responsible
men,
as
in
Germany.
Recent
official
documents
read
into
the
proceedings
show
that
supposed
liberals
like
Prince
Konove
were
thoroughly
implicated
in
the
plots
leading
to
war,
as
well
as
the
avowed
warmongers
like
Tojo.
Yet
it
is
reliably
known
that
General
MacArthur
for
many
weeks
kept
Konoye's
name
off
the
war
criminal
list
because
he
hoped
to
see
him
emerge
as
the
"liberal"
leader
of
a
new
Japan.
A
further
difficulty
lies
'in
the
fact
that
under
the
Japanese
system
it
is
seldom
the
titular
hdlder
of
high
office
who
exercises
real
responsibility.
The
locus
of
power
is
apt
to
be
the
Vice-Minister
rather
than
the
Minister,
through
the
connection
of
the
former
with
the
permanent
bureaucracy.
With
this
bureaucracy
largely
unchanged
today,
and
some
of
the
most
assiduous
militarists
cosily
ensconced
Us
members
of
the
"demobilization
boards,"
it
is
impossible
to
dismiss
lightly
the
charge
of
the
Russian
member
of
the
Allied
Council
that
the
Japanese
General
Staff
is
still
continuing
to
operate
tp
a
certain
degree.
In
acrimonious
retort,
the
American
member
of
the
Council
stated
that
if
evidence
of
war
crimes
or
illegal
activityby
any
Japanese
military
personnel
were
brought
to
the
attention
of
the
Supreme
Commander,
he
would
be
glad
to
consider
it.
This
misses
the
point
of
the
present
legal
proceedings
in
Tokyo,
which,
if
they
prove
anything,
prove'
the
complicity
of
the
whole
military-bureaucratic
group
in
Japan's
planned
aggression.

Perhaps
it
might
be
of
interest
to
you
to
hear
a
little
story
about
the
Prince
Rupert
Dry
Dock
and
Shipyard,
giving
a
reason
why
It
is
inactive
even
If
everyone
Is
howling
about
Its
Inactivity.
Our
company
ordered
a
new
one-inch
logging
cable
from
our
Prince
Rupert
supplier
and,
because
we
had
no
man
here
who
could
splice
cable,
we
asked
our
supplier
to
have
an
ordinary
eye
splice
put
in,
in
Rupert,
before
they
shipped
it
out.
The
dry
dock
did
the
Job
and
charged
$17.75
for
just
straight
labor
or.
putting
in
one
eye
splice.
We
protested
but
they
would
not
come
down.
Then
we
noticed
In
the
paper
that
on
the
Paul
Bunyan
Sports
Day
in
Port
Albernl
on
Septem
ber
2,
Bert
Laird
of
Comox

Co.

put
an
eye
splice
in
a
114-inch
line
in
3
minutes
36
45
seconds,
and
the
second
prize
was
3
minutes
51V2
seconds.
If
the
dry
dock's
charge's
are
all
so
absolutely
unreasonable
as
this,
It
is
a
wonder
they
get
any
work
to
do
at
all.
Almost
any
organization
would
make
a
compromise
on
a
charge
like
that
but
they
will
not.
