There arc two dciinct viewpoints
regarding conditions in the various
countries after tlie Groat War. One
of those insists that after the war
tho economic exploitation of tho
workers will become intensified an.l
conditions from every point will be
worse than ever: poorer wages,
longer hours, more inexorable de
mands upon the labor capacity of
the employees, and a general reac
tionary tendency throughout. The
other takes the stand that after the
war the workers will be less tractable,
than ever, will demand a more im
portant share of the government
of tho country, thoroughly distrust
"the bettah classes" and be instinct
with the revolutionary spirit that
leads to the overthrow of bourgeois
governments, kings, Kaisers ana
Tsars.
The first view is shared by t
number of working clac3 leaders in
America as well as a number of eco
nomists of repute. They bold that
the workers will return from the
trenchos to find themselves in direct
competition with those who have
taken their places; the old lines of
skilled and unskilled will not be so
definitely drawn, and women will
function very effectively in supply
ing the demand for cneap labor now
that the war has brokon her into
efficient sorviee in shop, factory,
mino and foundry. They allege that
tho discipline; of the trench will
manifest itself upon the workers
mentally, and instead of building up
a resisting, revolutionary dissatis
fied worker, will make one more
prompt, more obedient, more docile,
and more '‘commendable” by those
in a position to command.
Furthermore the entire military
system in every country has, th s -
contend, resulted in the absolute in
dustriul control passing into the
hands of the government and tlu
government by no stretch of imagi
nation can be described as bboril
or oven identified with labor. '1 bat
government exercising such a despo
tic control of the Industrial situa
tion will therefore be d voted to in
creasing the national efficiency which
tho national indebtedness will de
mand: that the debts can only lie
paid off by prod > h bur and
such productive labor u . ..etui
to tlie employing classes as deb!
relievers must bo highly profitable:
must content itself with small wage
and the small wages thus incri'asirn
the profit of labor exploitation, the
trade of the world will be won \ i
to tho former belligerent eountri
by that means. And commercial,
industrial and financial magnates
taking this view have already begun
urging upon the workers hole the
necessity of accepting a lower stand-1
aril of living (that is!
smaller wages) so that the j
country will lie able to com
pote witji the intense exploitation |
of labor in Europe when its products!
again attempt to control the mark |
ets of the world.
Tlie other view is the view that
holds flirt the workers will bo pot - I
sussed of such a revolutionary spirit;
that tlie conditions outlined above |
are not only improbable but also
impossible. In tlie February Century
b> a most remarkable and very
searching article by Hendrik Willem
Van Loon which most decidedly
emphasizes (die fact that the workers
will he more revolutionary and not
at all reactionary after the war
He goes over the situation in Ger
many in England, in France and in
Ituasia and always is there with the
seme answer. Here's a sample:
"Now behold what the war has
done for him (the soldier), it has
fed him bettor than he has over been
fed before. It has put him into de
cent < lothes. A heavy white coat goes
with the equipment of every soldier,
and often he never saw such a gar
ment before. Without sufficient
food and sheltor he is no good as a
fighting man; hence ho i3 well fen
throe times a day. He likes it. He
4 ■■ V JMi
would be very happy if lie vveri al
ways a: well looked after. Hut vetie.i
he cornea home from the war lie
will not be given this food unless
he goes to dig coal out of a little
black gallery half a mile beneath
the surface of the earth or performs
the dreariest of tasks in tiiat
dreariest of modern inventions, a.
factory. Formerly tradition and
habit made hint obey; but will he
obey this time? That is the ques
tion. Will the man in khaki return
to his shop and his workroom as
quietly as the man in black of
Cromwell's army? All the evidence
in this case says no. He will not.
j in this war he has been taught
something which his many strikes
and labor warfare did not make
clear to him. Before the year 1914,
if in an encounter with his masters
he used violence, he was regarded
as an enemy of the law and treated
j accordingly. This time he has with
| his own eyes and with his owe
j hands noticed that organized vior
j ence is the best way to accomplish
the .desired results of his country,
lie has been trained to take from his
enemy by violence what could not
! be obtained by arguments of rea
son. Is it likely under those ctr
jcue.stances that the masses of the
jiaen will return peacefully to theit
unpleasant tasks when they know
that thay themselves are possessed
of the power to obtain all they
J wish?
“Call this statement socialistic,
anarchistic, call it the most outrage
ous thing you have evor hoard of,
but 1 am reporting what the men
who make up the countless armies
ACTUALLY FEEL, net what they
ought to think.
To make a long story short; after
the war we may expect a most
severe social revolution. We shall
roe' the outbreak of labor troubles
everywhere. Those troubles will be
of such magnitude that they will
make themselves fait at cnce in the
United States.”
And again ho sayc:
“It is not a. question of a more or
less ineffectual king or cabinet which
was incapable of doing its full duty.
There is more than that. I’eoplc will
have to decide tills time about the.
future of their own race. Will it
develop as it has hitherto as a com
bination of two separated classes,
or will it give to all men the chance
of developing their own powers to
the best of their ability in the most
favorable circumstances for all? The*
men who will eomo out of the
trenches will have thoir answci
ready. No one who has seen any
thing of this war can doubt for a I
moment what this answer will be j
After the war the laboring world of
England will come forward with an
ultimatum of no indefinite import.
Their demands will be backed up by
the violence which has been taught,
to those men for the purpose of
beating their German enemies.
.There will be a great house
cleaning.’’
There is an American Association
for International Conciliation.
Some Americans function these days
exceedingly well as up-litters, and
consequently they aro quite at home
in such organizations as this. The
executive committee of that body
comprises such men as Nicholas
Murray Butler, Lyman Abbott,
Robert Bacon, Seth Low etc. The
:>nly name we miss is Sam Gompers
but may be he’ll get there in God’s
jood time. A Chamber of Commerce
■pedal committee reported pn the
economic results of “The War on
American Business" and this special
committee is an adjunct of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. The A. A. For I. C. re
printed that report and wo observe
tovcral significant paragraphs in
;hat report placed before the di
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
yf the United States (a pet Rocke
feller organization by the way).
Among the "Factors to be Faced”
'■ ) ». "■"' ' I'J . m—i
is Low-standard Competition. “A
decline in the European standard of
living, perhaps of wages, rendering
possible a low priced production,
which will create a costly world
wide disturbance of industrial con
ditions”. And the Effect of the
post-War time conditions on ‘‘Amer
ican Labor” as follows: The possibil
ity of the growing revolutionary
spirit in Europe, due to the very
seriously increased burdens of the
masses with reactions on certain
sections of American labor, is not to
be disregarded.”
Thus the Big Business clement
is preparing for both contingencies,
the first that labor will 'Be more
cheap than ever in Europe and that
the revolutionary spirit may cause
unsettled conditions. And what's
their answer. We read it every
where, and it is summed up in one
word Preparation. It may be term-a
for National Defense or it may be
called preparation for war, but what
is really to 1 e insi t; d upon i3 th.v.
the future , whichever way Big
Business turns, is full of longer and
oxplosive material it is well to
watcli. They are wrichii g all right.
