LIFE CONSERVATION.
The main source of a country's
wealth Is Its labor power. It Is true
that natural resources count for a
good deal, but without the applica
tion of labor power to such, those
natural resources could exist unde
veloped indefinitely without increas
ing one lota the wealth production oi
tha nation.
Consequently even if w.oalth, pro
duction is necessarily considered the
be-all and end-all of capitalistic ex
i St once, it is or should be no, less
obvious that labor protection and tbo
conservation of the life that fprr
nishes labor power should bo the
chiefest of all the aims of govern
mental activities. Now nothing ot
the kind is the case. On the contrary
the reckless and criminal disregard
of human life is when actual figures
are pronounced, in reality shocking
and they display such a wanton ana
prodigious national unconcern that
they are most likely to be disbe
lieved.
t _ tl... CinLaiinanr nutnlmr f ihlJ
Scientific Monthly Dr. J. flowaru
Beard of the University of Ulinolb
mentions with statistical coolness in
an article on The Avoidable Doss Or
Life quito casually that — — “we
have in our midst each year, at ieaat,
13.500.000 cases of industrial sick
ness. Hoffman states that there ar
approximately 82,530 deaths annual
ly in the United States duo to ac
cidents, and that in counnection with
the carrying on of dangerous in
dug tries, there are 25,000 deaths ana
700.000 injuries involving a disabil
ity of longer than four week:; \
These are what may be called direct
industrial losses but there are others
which are not usually considers
characteristic of the industrial sy
stem which prevails, but which dis
cover in modern industry the chiei
predisposing cause and the main
contributory factor to their alarming
spread.
' Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, vene
real disoase, especially syphilis, ali
of which are promoted by Industrial
conditions and all of which are the
prolific cause of avoidable loos of life
may also be mentioned.
Moreover it is an astonishing fact
that the high rate of mortalty among
infants especially in large populous
centers is due almost exclusively to
.the poverty stricken condition un
der, which they are roared
The article, frpm ytiich the short
excerpt above has been quoted,
further thus concludes: “Preventable
disease is associated inseparably
with poverty and ignorance, and an.v
successful attempt at prevention
must be an attack, upon these twin
b.rytbers pf human misery — ,— The
poverty stricken individual is a four
fold menace to the nation — a poor
progenitor, an in-efficient producer,
a potential source of disease and fre
quently a malcontent. Society should
realize that every individual who
myites his best efforts and every
child born to the nation must be
guaranteed as their inalianable
right sufficient food for growth, and
energy, the necessary amount ot
sleep and rest, abundance of fresh
air, sanitary quarters and an oppor
tunity for an education. A different
attitude fails to promote tho gen
eral welfare, procreates weaklings,
invites disease and undermines the
stability of the nation”.
It will be noted that tho writer is
concerned about the evils of poverty
because of their reaction upon that
class which has directly caused it.
Poverty is a great evil not because
it destroys the individual but be
cause lu destroying the individual it
threatens the welfare and comfort
and enjoyment of life in tho capi
talist classes. That’s one way ot
looking at it. On tho other hand
such an abolition of poverty will not
materially decrease the general agi
tation for an abolition of the system
that has caused it, and because the '
abolition of ignorance and povorty
means the spread of Intelligence and
increase in leisure, the demands ot
the working classes are likely to de
preciate the,profits of the employers
and hence are not to be considered.
The general theory of modern in
dustrial enterprise in the United
States is founded upon doctrines oi
efficiency developed by theoretical ex
perts to whom the wage worker ta
just an ordinary pipce of machinery
to bp adapted to the production- of
prpattf in the most iptensive manner
possible. And precisely as a machine
the employee ip when he .has passed
the period of highest and most in
tensive production, scrapped like or■'
dinary mechanical junk, Efforts'
made to curb this rapacious destruc
tion of human life on the political
fiedd are met with judicial decisions
declaring all such unconstitutional by
reason of their being an attempt to
interfere with the liberty of the indi
vidual and while, we may say. we
hear a good deal about the license
of the mob when the mob seeks li
berty, we hear nothing at
a,U about the vicious license
that employing interests have as
sumed under the cloak of constitu
tional liberty.
it is very well realized that to
maintain this system of uncontrolled
exploitation in the United States a:i
unlimited labor field must be placed
at the employing interests disposal
Vast imraigraton. a constant influx
f to manufacturing centers from the
country, he unlimited right to ex
ploit the labor of women and child
1 ren as well as men—all these things
' aro demanded that the American
| system of industrial enterprise may
succeed.
The labor factor is only a neglig-1
■ ible factor to most of the employing
Interests, to be shot down or jailed
when they strike or revolt and tc
be repressed by various repressive
measures under normal conditions.
Time and time again men of great
er penetration have warned against
this condition. They have pointed
out that the lack of care for the
physical condition of employees, for
the health and welfare of those who
work in Industrial plants affects the
efficiency of the workers an,d thai
while they may in the presont be re
placed on account of the surplus la
bor In the market, the limits of na
tional labor efficiency and tho limits
of immigrating labor material are to
bq aoop reached. ,
Apsides they point put Industrial
conditions of stress and hardship
breed disease and rjeact upon em
ployers also and make foj^ a poot
standard of social health which in
creases, in geoqaefracal progression
the Industrial inefficiency pf, those
who otherwise might bp untainted
|Jut there is no listening to such
advice. The employers on )f$s con
trary listen to (the syren voice ot
those Intellectual parasitos who
preach a lower standard of living
and a relatively smaller wage seal)
in order that industrial imperialis n
may become an accomplished fact.
There is no learning, from the les
sons of the past- The employing
interests oppose all efforts to. curh
their, profit making rapacity and the
industries of the United States today
betray that most astonishing charac
teristlc, the most reckless disregard
of human life obsorvable In any
country in the world during peaceful
conditions and numerically compet
ing quite within measurable distance
with the appalling slaughter now
marked on the battlefields of Europe
In fact, and it is an appalling fact,
if wo figure out losses due to Indus
trial disease and industrial
accidents — and also those
deaths and sickness due to
industrial disease directly or indi
rectly, the figures will approximate
the war losses per annum of any bei
'icerent nation.
