the connection.
American employers complained
in the past, especially when intro
during their efficiency systems in the
plants they controlled, that the
main trouble with the workers was
due to lick of intlnctive obedience
upon the part of the latter. The
American worker was a poor hand
to implicitly obey and was not sa
tisfacto'i'y amenable to discipline
until considerable time and trouble
were wasted breaking him in.
Of late they have talked a good
deal more about this. Because they
begin to think that they can assist |
the industrial development of the ,
country and especially the develop- !
ment of discipline in the factories
by compulsory military service. No
end of general and military experts
have insisted that the military
training will result in the Amer
ican workers becoming more defer
ential. icore attentive to order.5,
more amenable to discipline and
more willing to obey.
When tlie war broke out in Eu
rope, the pro-Ally press which was
associated with the great capital
ists of the country, beat their tom
toms denouncing German militar
ism. T’russlanism was, to hear
them say it, the very antithesis of
Americanism. Today when the>
have fallen themselves in worship
before militarism, called prepared
ness, doubtless they would give
anything if they could recall all the
unkind things they said about con
scription, militarism and compulso
ry service.
The fact of the matter is that
the American employer has never
bad a very large vision of the
scheme of things. His view was
essentially provincial. He saw just
as far as the nose on his face and
sometimes not as far as that. He
fell for the war stuff about German
militarism and now when the war
has broadened and certainly clari
fied his vision, he wished he had not
What Germany has done he would
do better. He would out-militarize
the militarists of Prussia. He wants
rhe military obedience that reasons
not, the discipline that is prompt
to do as ordered, the deference that
recognizes in the bos- a superior
caste. He cannot get that in in
dustries. He sees unions antago
nize him; he sees laborites agitat
ing; he sees all sorts of demands
made upon him which he does not
wish to grant. He gets it in the
army. He sees it in the navy. He
sees the officer with his gold braid
a superman. He sees that the com
mon ranker must recognize in hi*
officer a superior. He sees the de
ferential salute, the rigid discipline,
the right to jack up and bawl out
as Major-General O'Ryan claimed
for the militia, prevalent as by
right divine. He sees that this con
dition is to be deoiderated in the in
dustries. By this r.eans efficiency
systems which reduces the workers
to automatons, who are obedient,
disciplined, respectful and in awe
«..* industrial authotPy, can be in
troduced without troubV and the
world will be a world of profit pro
ducing creatures and peace will
reign.
So he would recall a good many
of the hard things which he said
about German or any other brand
of militarism. He would Insist that
conscription is democratic; that mi
litarism is democratic; that the
country is sale only with a longer
and stronger brand of militarism.
The connection between industrial
and military preparedness is like
an open book to him and explain*
why it is that those who have beer
most ardent in denouncing tlie mi
litarism in Germany insist upon mi
litarism In the United States.
AMERICANISM.
What is Americanism anyhow 1
What is the spirit of ’76? What Is
this that the politicians on both
sides are so loud in their ranting?
Is it devotion to the Flag? The
Europeans are just as strongly na
tionalist and just as devoted to the
national colors under Which they
were born. Is it devotion to the
laws? The British have made a G >a
of laws long before the Americans
ever reached that stage. Is it wor
ship of national institutions? The
German and the French are rigidly
religious in their adoration of their
public institutions.
What was this spirit of ’76? Isn't
it embodied in the Declaration ol
Independence? It what other docu
ment can we look for it? And what
is it but resistance to wrong ana
war upon special privilege? Doesn t
it insist upon the right to life, li
berty and the pursuit of happiness?
Does it not insist upon the right to
abolish institutions that have be
come identified with privilege? And
is there anything wrong with the
declaration of the Eastern Univer
sity professor that there is more
true Americanism in the Industrie.
Worker of the World than in any
other organization throughout the
country? Resistance to wrong; re
volt against opression; war upon
privilege; insistence upon the right
to speak and to agitate and to de
fy tyranny—if that is not the spi
rit of Americanism that is embo
died in the Declaration of Inde
pendence, then the language of that
document should have be otherwise
written.
SOME SLAUGHTER ALSO.
The report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission shows that a
trainman is killed every four hour:
and forty minutes and one injured
every three hours and thirty se
conds. But that shows only half the
blood-letting and killing that takes
place. Only those who die from
their injuries within 24 hours after
they are hurt are reported as fa
tally injured.
It is illuminating to know that
. one man is killed In the western
trenches in Europe every three
hours. Compare the millions en
gaged in the war there on both
| sides and as a killing contest, the
j railroads of the United States need
take a back seat from none.
GASOLINE.
It is said to be a sign of de
praved taste when a person signi
fies the fact that he likes the smell
of gasoline and doctors have dis
, covered that liking to be sympto
matic of chlorosis. That may be al!
jtrue. But the money that comes
j from gasoline is certainly without
taint. And it is coming in such
j globular millions these days that
| the Federal Trade Commissions has
I been investigating the matter.
Someone has to get busy when the
(Ilivver fuel gets too high and the
money has to be so largely diverted
from other incidentals such as flow
ers and ladies and wine to gaso
line.
As everyone knows the Standard
Oil Trust was bust. Bust as flat as
dollar by no less a steam roller
than the United States Supreme
Court, and upon lines laid down as
reasonable by no less a person, be
fore he was appointed, than Charles
( E. Hughes. How reasonable was
|this busting was revealed the othei
day in the probe hearings con
ducted by the Federal Trades Com
mission. Some of the largest inde
pendent refiners testifying as a
unit swore they did not know the
cost of rectifying gasoline; that
they knew it had nothing to dc
with the price; that they were com
pelled to set the price on terms laid
down by Standard Oil.
For efficiency, perfection, and
ultra-utility in chloroforming tht
people, fooling all the people all
the time, the Sherman Act is the
<
last word of wisdom.
LOOKING FORWARD. t
Denmark, Norway and Sweden, -
the three great Scandinavian na
tions of Europe adopted the light
saving device of putting the clock i
an hour ahead. And in the mean
time, and as it were to off-set the
ideals of other nations, the belli
gerent nations of Europe have been
trying to set the world back a cen- t
tury by bloody warfare. And while e
the Scandinavian nations have been t
merely tricking the imagination, 1 (
the belligerent nations have been
dealing with material facts. (
WILL
NOT STAND
FOR UNIONISM.
'
The action taken by the Mer
chants’ and Manufacturers’ Asso
ciation in Los Angeles declaring
that they will not stand for thn
employment of union men by shipp
ing companies is more important as
an exhition of class feeling than as
likely to bear weight with the
shipping companies. The shipping
companies control the situation and
while the M and M may declare a
boycott onthe employment of union
men, it is not likely to be anything
but a "demonstration in force”.
But the fact that this association
of employers of labor sets itself
like adamant against unionism, is
a revelation of an actual condition
which is mighty seldom so open’.y
exposed. Usually the companies
wisely .take care of such matters
without giving them publicity. A
gentleman’s agreement just be
tween themselves does the work,
and private balck lists are handed
around in a secret way that the
public knows nothing at all about
but with which the wage workers
have been long familiar. The
Merchants and Manufacturers or
Los Angeles who thus fight in the
open: who make no secret of the
class war: who do not attempt to
conceal the fact that they for the’r
class reserte alone the right to or
ganize—these people are easier to
deal with than the companies which
among themselves maintain black
lists and which pose outwardly as
the friends of labor. Society loses
nothing by candor. The destruction
