INVESTIGATING THE UNKKST.
A British governmental commis
sion, which was sent out to ascer
tain the causes of industrial unrest
has returned a report after live
weeks of investigation. The prin
cipal causes are giving as:
The high cost of living co.*pled
with a disproportionate advance
in wages, and unequal distribution
of food supplies.
The operation of the munitions
•of war acts, especially the- re
striction of personal freedom im
posed upon the workmen under
these acts.
Operation of the military sc-rvi :e
acts.
Other causes were stated to be
the lack of sufficient housing ac
comodations in congested areas;
industrial fatigue; lack of proper
organization among trades unions;
inconsiderate treatment of women
wage workers; and “lack of con
fidence in the government due to
the surrender of trade union
customs and the feeling that pro
mises as regards their restoration
will not be kept.”
Similar conditions obtain in
this country, and the causes of
unrest are largely as stated above
However, the British commission
states that but a small percentage
of the unrest lias a revolutionary
significance, while it is becoming
more and more apparent that the
uprisings of labor here are of deep
revolutionary import. Perhaps this
is also true of England and the
commission were not capable of
comprehending that fact.
The Industrial Relations t Com
mission sent out by the United
States Government made a report
that startled many an industrial
king from his slumberous seat,
ltussia staged a surprise for the
autocracy who had road history
wrongly, and Australia, which has
been falsely called "Labor's Para
dise,” bids fair to become in real
ity what it has been in name. Ar
gentine has been, and probably still
;s, in the throes of a labor revolt;
Spain has had a proletarian awak
ening—Japan has also seen the
light, and the world of workers is
tilled with hope in spite of the
frenzied attempts at suppression
by the masters of the bread.
The very fact that labor has
Tooeome important enough to be in
vestigated is in itself a revolution
ary thing.
CHIEF BENEFIT OF THE WAR,
The greatest gain to tlio world
l'rum this war will be Us advertis
ing ot (ho idta of democracy. To
secure publicity for true and great
ideas is the primary task cf those
who would liberate the world. And
as a carrier of publicity at least,
this war is a success
it is not a war for democracy,
it rflM not originate in a dispute
about democracy, and it is unlikely
to terminate in a democratic
settlement. There is a bare poss
ibility that a victory of the Allies
will hasten the fall of the auto
cracies in Central Europe, but
there is practical certainty that
in Primming for such a victory the
vAllies will throw out most of the
essence of their own democracy.
We will Prussianize ourselves, and
we will probably not democratize
Prussia. That will remain, as be
fore the task cf the libertarians
within the Prussian Empire. Rut
three-uuarters of the world will
■say it is a war for democracy, will
•convince themselves that democracy
:a a thing wortli lighting for.
Some day, then, they may tight
far it.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
By Woodrow Wilson .
And we inure come to be one of
the worst ruled, cif'> of the mast,
completely controlled and domi
ea'ctl governments in tho civilized
I world; r.o longer a government by
•conviction and ihe vote of a ma
i jority, but a government by the
opinion and duress of small groups
of dimincnt men.
To reform a bad system is mere
ly to deform it without making it
good.
Neither a man nor a system is
made good merely by cutting oft
an arm.
Indecent dances may ge, but
rotten politics will remain as long
as capitalism lives.
So few of us have had acquaint
ance with opportunity we don’t
knew it even when we meet it.
He who takes his food from the
sweat of ethers is in reality tak
ing it from their blood.
I -
They who pull the purse strings
pull the political strings. Workers
had bettor get hold of the purse.
The fellow who is grabbing on
| io all the earth objects to the work
j cr who wants a part of it on the
ground that he will become mater
ialistic.
It is easy enough to pick out the
the “senators from Wall street”
I in the national body of lawbrcak
j crs. But where are the senators
!lrom the workers?
As a man thinketh out loud
so r.re his 1 nances.
The democrats arc in power, but
the revolution is not yet.
Now it is persecution. Some
time it may be execution and
electrocution.
"
The cause of humanity is ad
vanced by lead in the form of type,
but not by lead in the shape of
bullets.
