Surgeon General Gorgas is an
other scientific man, who basing his
conclusions upon previous historic
experiences, believes that there will
follow in Europe after the great
war a period of great industrial ac
tivity and greatly improved condi
tions for the workers in those coun
tries.
He argues that on account of the
great destruction of wealth, and the
enormous reduction in accumulated
stores owing to actual non-produc
tion, it will require years of inten
sive effort to satiate the social re
quirements. On the other hand he
points out that millions of workers
will have been destroyed or made
permanently non-productive and
among the able bodied workers who
remain, competition will be greatly
lessened and hence they will be able
to command higher wages and better
living conditions.
The vital destructiveness of this war
wherein ten million normal human
beings approximately have been
killed. wounded, maimed, blinded
or permanently affected by disease,
has only been equalled by one other
epoch in European history. That
occurred when the Black Death
swept over Europe coming over the
Russian steppes and the Asiatic j
deserts. The tremendous mortality;
resulted in the golden age for the1
workers in every country, and owing
to their immense economic import
ance they won for themselves bet
ter conditions than they have any
where enjoyed since that time, rela
tively speaking. That is to say they
obtained a higher relative status of
living conditions, more of the pro
duct of their labor and better treat
ment than ever before or ever since
that time.
The argument is put out that Am-1
erica will be fully able to repair the
ravages of the war in Europe and
that there will be no necessity for
the intensive effort upon the part of
the Europeans, at least not until
that time when the working popula
tion will have returned to normality
and to average conditions of servile
dependence upon employers.
JllIS SUUnn 111 cl t ini' iwuoi vi
tary facts concerning international
trade have not been grasped even
bv those wise ones who are advo
cating the world conquest for Am
erican commerce.
To pay for American products will
necessitate the very intensive indus
trial and commercial activity which
many affect to believe impossible.
And when American exporters ship
goods to European wealth owners,
the wealth which will recoup the
American shippers will come from
European labor and from none
other. Just as when foreign ship
pers export their goods to American
millionaires, the latter obtain the
means to pay for them not
through their own labor but through
the labor of those who are hired by
their companies.
> Every Newport extravaganza
which is a three day wonder for the
rarity of its imported profusion, is ■
provided for by American labor of!
brain or hand.
European labor will therefore be 1
subjected to the highest point of
•willing intensity and very high
wages will have to be forthcoming.
It is estimated that the British
working class has been reduced by
a million since the war began and
there will be therefore that much
less competition within the ranks
of the laboring men of that coun
try.
It may be urged that women will :
be maintained in the factories and I
in other lines where men have here- j
tofore been employed. But that is"
not only a social but also a physio
logical Impossibility. Such a condi
tion would be totally abnormal and
1n the natural reduction of repro
duction Of the working classes will
carry always Its own corrective.
For every woman employed in the
factories, mills, mines, shops, rail
roads, the population is rendered
that much less reproductive, and
where productive, that much more
degenerative physically and it has
within it elements of sterility that
it will automatically destroy itself.
Owing to the physical disabilities
which women have had to suffer,
due to social disabilities for the
most part, they are unable to main
tain the strain of labor to which
they are subjected. Even now the
British and German governments
which have permitted such enorm
ously increased female labor owing
to the exigencies of the war, are
alarmed concerning the health phy
sically and mentally of the women,
as shown in hospital records and
attempted suicides. Physiologists
know that certain functional de
rangements following a work of la
bor for women practically end in the
physical or mental destruction of
woman herself. And it is the most
characteristic fact of all English and
American social work that this most
significant and serious fact is never
mentioned as a consistent probabil
ity except in a very subdued manner
that no one pretends to understand.
Yet it is the commonest of facts ob
served by those who have to con
sider vocational diseases and indus
trial sickness that factory work re
sults in even more serious evils than
the hyper-sexing that almost invari
alby follows. Only when the war
burns up the cloak of prudery in the
social crisis that insists upon bare
facts, have the governments dared
to enter into this subject in detail
lest those Christian souls which have
stocks and shares in factories where
women labor should know that that
same labor which produced so much
welcome profit has come through the
suffering and auguisli and despair of
ruined lives.
It is just as well therefore that
it be clearly understood that female
labor is self destructive and it can
not withstand the strain. It will re
sult in time and within a generation
in physical and national degeneracy
and few women will be able to work
at these laborious employments for
| any lengm oi lime.
Even with labor saving machinery
to repair the ruin of the war capi
tal must find labor. Although in
sisting at all times about the
wonderful results of an influx of ca
pital, capital itself has found no
royal road to increasing itself ex
cept by labor. And consequently in
Europe, after the war, labor will be
at a premium. It may be urged that
legislation may be introduced pre
venting labor from benefitting by its
scarcity. There again the period
subsequent to the Black Death fur
nishes us with a parallel. The Free
Masons of England, then a trade
guild, were made the victims of
sumptuary laws and which also de
clared against the coalition of work
ers engaged in demanding higher
prices, all workers were forbidden
to ask for wages above a certain
standard, they had a maximum wage
law under Henry IV and following
reigns, yet all of these were just aB
if they never had been written. The
masters themselves in their anxiety
to secure money making servants,
competed with one another ahd the
workers had subtle means of evad
ing the laws which they considered
unfavorable.
So we believe that Gorgas’ fore
cast of conditions in Europe will be
fulfilled. It is what many prophe
cies are not,, quite scientific and
based upon historic experience.
The more important question as to
the result of the war upon Amer
ican industrial conditions is quite
a different matter. Lean yearB in
Europe were fat years for the pro
fiteers in America, but that was due
to the war. and during peace when
international activities are resumed
with full force 1t fematns to be deen
whether there will be such a con
trasted state as this prevailing on
these continents.
