W All’s CHANGES
Theodore I’. Shonts, the traction
magnet, in an address recently
delivered declared that after th
war epochal changes might be ex
pected in the economic world.
Charles Schwab speaking at a
banquet, made his famous prophesy
that the world was to pass into)
the control of the hands of the
workers, and Governor Lovvden ot
Illinois said that it was impossible
to conceive that the present chaotic
relations between employer and em
ployed could go on, without some,
and very radical reconstruction.
Across the Atlantic thruout Eng
land men prominent in the high
councils have given expression to
similar statements, altho in that
country labor itself ha? laid down
a definite program which will be
followed looking to the dominance
of labor In the national life and
voicing the unity of interest existed
between those who labored with
brains and those who labored with
brown. Even Lord Leverholme,
the soap king, has declared that
the time had come whtn employers
thruout England should consider,
the feasibility of the six hour day, I
k m the point of view of increased I
efficiency of the -workingman, the j
progressive results would follow to
him from tho benefits of an in
creased margin cf leisure and the
almost certain national benefit
would result from the interest
socially would be promoted and
developed from such a condition in
the national industrial life.,)
All of these things have taken i
place since the war, for the war 1ms'
shown that upon labor the safety,
the well being, tho strength and the
ultimate reliance of the nations ex
ist. It is of eour.-v- interesting to
remark that while this ultimate de
pendence of the national well being
upon labor is admitted it has given'
rise to two antagonistic conceptions
/t'.s to the treatment which must be
accord d labor.
une view 13 that labor for that
Teason should be subjected to a'
nucli more definite control than
captial; that a strong military dis
cipline should prevail in industry;
that workers should be classified as
upon a military basi3 and their com
ing and their going on and. off the
job the subject of national but it
may wicll be patriarchal fussiness.
The other view rejects this indus
trial Prussianinm as an abomina
tion and as calculated to lead to
the abysess of reigns of terror and
red revolution and social suicide.
It reasons that a larger measure
ot industrial democracy, of indus
trial freedom is the only remedy
and that labor must in industry be
given a definite and responsible
share in the management of those
industries.
It is not without significance that
many who talk of political auto
cracy with abhorrence and with
loathing as the very ultimate of
tyranny, themselves promote and
maintain a condition of industrial
autocracy is no leas contemptible
and no less a loathsome tyranny
as a political autocracy develops to
bo, and the fair mind will recognize
that there is no gulf between the
Prussian junker and the industrial
autocrat; but that the two have all
things in common, and’ have, al
though they may pretend otherwise
precisely the same condition of hu
man subjection approved by their
autocratic mentalities.
Th© recent occurrences in Ameri
can Industry has shown to what ex
tent the United. States government
may rely upon Top Capital in the
emergency. From the very Be
ginning government control of cer
tain lines of human activities has
been a necessity. The railroads un-j
dor tho private management of |
Prcsndents whose industrial ability |
and genius were said to be twentieth
century marvels of human develop
ment, broke down absolutely when
the nation removed itself from the
peace norm to tho abnormal con
ditions which the'war provided, and
instead of meeting the emergency
these captaiins of industry were as
helpless a lot of magnified super
men as any set of mortals with
more than human limitations could
well be.
Nov/ since the war started almost
the impossible was asked of labor.
It was thrown into new fields and
called upon to function in entirely
new endeavors. But there was no
failure. Labor adjusted itself with
magic celerity to the needs of the
occasion and with an ease of such
adjustment that is the marvel of
this marvellous time. Nor is it any!
wonder that all this excited the j
more admiration when during this!
critical period Labor set about to
reform conditions under which it |
worked, while building up the re
quirements of the nation at war.
It was impossible that these facts
could be ignored by tho government
upon which the stress of meeting |
these emergency conditions and the
responsibility for overcoming all ob
stacles ultimately would be placed,
so that it is fair to say while Hog
Island and Aircraft muddles have j
been exciting the national disgust,,
labor lias been hewing to the line.1
and accomplishing trem ndous j
things almost without apparent ef
fort.
This war has practically shown
that not only in the realm of man
ual achievement but in the realm j
of Intellectual development, thos.j
wht must he relied upon are the
workers. Schwab with his indus
tria' shrewdness saw that, and see
ing that he could not fail to give
utterance, to the belief that a class
which weighed with every testing
standard proved itself never wanting
would long continue to be the sub
ordinate class and accept the hu-ks
of things while tho lielplelfe and
impotent and wanting were enjoy
ing the fullness of the earth.
Government has tounrt it neces
sary to bridle with snaffle bit the
plunging extravagancies of exploita
tive greed. It has found, it neces
sary to effect an alliance with labor,
an alliance it kpew wculd be bene
ficial to the nation. It* has been
compelled to inaugurate the eight
hour day In the lumber camps of
the wcit, to ask fir power to com
pel the arbitration of the packing j
industry troubles, ts obi"in the right;
to take over the telegraph linss to j
oust a rcdiculous r.utocr-.cy that
off cted to believe that only owner
ship had a right to reorganize and
to demand.
Labor itself has boon awakened.
During the war its full ac ivities
for industrial reform may have to
be held in reserve for that period
when rfb.r the wtr is over and the
national jeopardy passes but it is
even now building up its power ed
ucating in the open or in secret,
and knowing that it is alone the
creative class, the sole producing
class, tho time has come in modern
society when drones and parasites |
will have to give an accounting and
further a reason why as drones and
parasites they should exist. They
will have to ‘show what, thoir activi
ties or their existence have within
themselves that is of such social
importance that they should not be
compelled to mend or end them.
Truly as Shonts declared this war
will bo followed by epochal social
and economic changes.

THE BOLSHEVIK!
[ A good many American papers
and press agencies are cultivating
I tho notion that there is no evil in
[ tho world like the Boishevlki evil
i and what they are not able to
I conjure up in the way of atrocities
against the rule of the Soviets does
j not exist within human imagination.
Nor will it be 'lost upon any per
son that tho same bitter hostility
which is evidenced in some Ameri
I can papers towards the Bolshevik!
is evidenced in the statements that
from time to time emanate from the
Central Powers concerning the
Soviets also.
We will find it worth while to
j discover what there is that leads
I the organs of immense American
captialist aggregations to decry the
Bolshcviki in the same breadth as
do the Prussian imperialists. And
there will be little trouble found
dn discovering that the opposition
and hatred of the Bolsheviki rule
is due not to anything else but the
fact that such rule is a rule of
the Russian people by the Russian
people, of the much despised
canaille who have taken the govern
ment into their own hands arid
given the Slavs a larger measure
of human freedom than they have
ever enjoyed before.
Nor will it be lost upon us that
those who recklessly charge the
Bolsheviki with excesses have never
been able to explain why it is that
not one of the imperial family,
richly as some of them may have j
deserved it in their treasonable be-!
trayal of the country, has been ex-j
ccuted and enemies have been ar-1
rested and imprisoned but no formal
execution of these who tried to j
overthrow the rule of the commls-l
Bares of the people has ever been
•authorized.
There have been riots, there Ijhve
been shootings, there have been tur
moils and disorders, but considering
the absolute chaos into which Tzar
dom cast the nation, in this second,
year of Bolsheviki rule, it cannoa
be denied that tho rule is founded
upon a firmer basis among the
people than foes of popular^ gov
ernment ha.ve seen fit to allow.
It is with unmistakable satisfac
tion that Americans observe that
of all the executives of tiu^Allied
belligerents, President Wilson led
the way with sympathy and good
will towards iihoso Russians strug
gling to build up a real democracy
iin their own country.
'Nomeltes who have planted "war I
gardens.” this year had come to be
lieve that the weatherman was in
league with the enemy, but the
forced grow'th of. the last few days
has been reassuring and they be
lieve thatt hoy will have still some
succulent radishes, eke some let
tuc and turnips yet added to their
bill of fare before winter comes with
the wind as his whip to put all green
things out for the count.
