ers more dependent. AS their training
is narrow, they fit into few places and
are less adaptable This condition is re-
flected in the spirit of the men.
In one part of his address, speaking
of the men employed in the arsenals,
Gen. Crozier said: The men do not
wish to strike when they know that their
places can be filled" No more truth
full and cynical utterance could be made.
The same truism and synicism could be
applied to any people suffering from
tyranny and injustice in any form. If
men know in advance that the purpose
they have il making any effort to secure
relief from wrongs and injustice and
the attainment of freedom, can be
thwarted, it takes the heart out of them.
This is true of workers who would be
willing to strike for their rights as it
is in other fields of human aspirations.
Two committees Of congress have in
vestigated the subject OF Scientific man
agement' and particularly the Taylor
system as it existed in the United States
arsenals On the first committee served
two men who are now members of Pres
ident Wilson's enthusiastically of La
Dor Wilson and Secretary of Commerce
Redtield. That committee made report
upon the Taylor system condemning
principles upon which it was based and
the effects that it has upon the work
men. One statement from their report
is in itself sufficient to discredit the en-
tire scheme:
BY the stop-watch you may be able
to determine the time in which piece
OF work can be done, but you do not
thereby alone determine the length OF
time i'll which it ought to be done.
"Thc time study OF the operations OF
any machine can be made with a rea-
sonablc degree OF accuracy, because all
OF the elements can be taken into con
sidcration in making the computation.
A machine is an inanmate thing-it has
no life, no brain, no sentiment, and no
place i'll the social order. With a work
man it is different. He is a living, NOV
ing, sentiment, social being; he is en-
titled to all the rights, privileges, oppor-
tunlties, and respectful consideration
given to other men.
"He would be less than a man il he
did not resent the introduction OF any
system which deals with him in the same
way as a beast OF burden or an imam
innate machine"

A. F. L. Referred To As
"Democracy's Firing Line'

San Francisco.-Thc Bulletin OF this
city, III an editorial on the American
Federation OF Labor, refers to this or
ganization as "Dcmocracys Firing
Line" he says:
The American Federation OF Labor
has all OF the virtues and most OF the
defects which go with a position on the
firing line OF democratic progress. 1t
is partly a brcad-and-buttcr organiza-
ton, striving for an immediate increase
IN the welfare OF its members, and it is
partly revolutionary movement, aim
ing at the conquest by the workers OF
the supreme power to which their mum
bcrs and their services cntitc them
1t contains as many conflicting Opin-
ions and policies as two million average
men can comfortably hold 1t is like
any chance grouping OF two million
men and women, part idcallsm part
matcrlaIlsm, part wisdom, part unwis-
dom. 1t is weakened by jealousy, am
bition and sch,hnc,s and it. is strength
cncd by being. in the last analysis, ever
lastingly right
he first thing 10 recognize in the
labor union movement is that it is n
natural product OF industrial conditions
operating upon the ordinary man. The
same industrial forces which created the
capitalist and the employer created the
labor organization. Labor unions do
not yet cover the entire field oi indus
try, as they ought TO do, but as far as
they go they maintain kind oi balance
OF power. Under the competitive thco-
ry OF industry this naturally set, class

are not identical. The careful organ
ization OF the one against the other is
sufficient proof OF a conflict of interests.
The labor movement represents an en-
croachmcnt upon the freedom, and ul-
timately upon the profits, OF capital;
Just as the Captaistc movement, un-
checked, is movement upon the free
dom and wcll-bcing Of labor. But this
does not prevent them from having
common interests, chief among which
is the interest each has in maintaining
production. Nor should it prevent them
from understanding that such antagon-
ism as exists between them is largely
the result of accidents OF birth and for
tune. Each is conscrptcd by destiny,

The labor movement cannot be de
icatcd. 1t is a democratic movement
and the cause OF democracy will not be
finally beaten until the last man, and
the last woman, and the last child is
dead. 1t may change its form. To the
extent that it does not yet contain all
the skilled and unskilcd working peo-
pie OF America it should change its
form But, as it stands, in all its i'm
pcriectlons, 1t is courageous and in
dlSpcnSiblc champion OF liberties and

General Croziers'
efficiency" Bug
By PRESIDENT GoMpERs, in american
Federationist."

By PRESIDENT GoMpERs, in American
Federationist."
Gen. William Crozer chief of ord
nance, United States army has begun a
campaign for the restoration of the Tay-
lor system in the United States arsenals.
Recently, in Philadelphia, before a Y.
Nj. {. a. audience which was made up
OF factory managers, superintendents,
engineers and accountants, he made an
attack upon the organized workers, con-
demnng them because the federal ap-
preparation bill forbade the use of that
money for the maintenance of so-called
scientific management schemes
In all fairness Gen. Crozier ought to
present his views to an audience of
workers. Should he be willing to de-
liver his lecture we feel sure organized
labor would furnish him with an appre-
ciative audience who, even though they
differ with him. would treat him with
the respect due his office. 4 #
Perhaps one of the worst tendencies
OF the scientific management schemes
is that toward specialization. The sys-
TENS are based upon the theory that
promotes general specialization in all in
dustries. And it need be stated here
that specialization in industry is differ
ent to specialization in the professions
In the latter, specialization means a gen.
eral knowledge of all branches Of the
profession and the mastership Of a par
tlcular branch. In industry the special
ization of the workers means that they
have one small, insignificant part Of the
work to do thousands Of times over
and over again each and every day and
without the slightest knowledge OF any
other part Of the trade or industry.
Scientific management makes ideals
OF workmanship and craftsmanship i'm
possible. 1t is away from ideals of
democracy. 1t serves to promote only
a few, and few selected at the ex-
pensc OF many. 1t fosters and promotes
spirit that is hostile to humanity in
industry and democracy in society. Its
spirit, its methods and its purposes are
hostile to the spirit of collective bar
gaining. 1t has nothing in common with
that effort OF the workers to protect
themselves and to work out their best
interests. From all sources comes con-
tlrmation of the attitude Of trade union
lists toward scientific management"
Undoubtedly, one OF the purposes of
this specialization is to make the work
