"PrOlonged peace and prosperity
can rest only on the foundation Of in
dustrial liberty. Industrial democracy
should ultimately attend political de-
mocracy. Industrial abso1utism is not
merely possible in this country at
the present time, but is most undesir-
able. Our employers can no more af-
ford to be absolute masters Of their
employees than they can afford to sub
nit to the mastery Of their employees.
''We are sure to have for the next
generation an ever-increasing contest
who have not. There are vital eco
nomic, social and industrial problems
to be solved. And for these we need
our ablest men. The reason why we
have not made more progress in social
matters is that these problems have
not been tackled by the practical men
Of high ability like those who have
worked on industrial inventions and
enterprises. We need social inven-
ton, each Of many able men adding
his work until the invention is per-
fected.
Is Not An Idealist.
Il have no rigid social philosophy.
have been too intense on concrete
problems of practical justice. And
yet I can see that the tendency is
steadily toward governmental control.
The government must keep order not
only physically but socially. In old
times the law was meant to protect
, each citizen from oppression by ply
steal force. But we have passed to
subtler civilization; from oppression
by force we have come to oppression
in other ways. And the laws must
still protect a man from the things
that rob him of his freedom, whether
the depressing force be physical or of
| subtler kind.
There is no such thing as freedom
for a man who under normal condi-
tons is not financially free. We must,
therefore, find means to create in
the individual financial independence
against sickness, accidents, old age
and the dread of leaving his family
destitute If he suffer premature
death. For we have become practic-
ally a world OF employees; and if
man Is to have real freedom of con-
tract in dealing with his employer he
must be financially Independent Of
these ordinary contingencies. Unless
we protect him from this oppression,
1t Is foolish to call him free. More
over, since most men are employees,
and since men must work, to live, the
law should see that they are pro-
tected from oppression in their work,
from excessive hours of labor and
other conditions injurious not only to
them alone, but through them to the
common good.
Personal Liberty First.
"This principle applies In general
to the whole question Of property
rights. Property must be subject to
that control Of property which is es-
senttal to the enjoyment by every man
OF q tree individual life. And when
property is used to interfere with that
fundamental freedom Of life for

BIG BUSINESS SHOULD EXPLAIN WHY IT'S
SUPPORTING THE PREPAREDNESS CAMPAIGN

Could anything show more clearly
the intent to establish spheres of in
fluence, obtain influence or control
over weak foreign governments, and
thus launch out a campaign of com
mercial and industrial imperialism
leading inevitably to governmental
and military imperialism?
The same announcement tells OF
the election as vice president OF
Philip Henry, a well known engineer
who mas given much Of his time to
the investigation and construction OF
railroad and other enterprises In
South America" and "who knows
the engineering possibilities and Diff
f1cultfes of that country perhaps as
we'll as any one in this country"
All very we'll. But
1t leaves a big question for you to
decide:
Stand On Its Own Feet.
Is big business to stand on its own
feet and take it's chances in these
new foreign enterprises? or,
Is the commercial and industrial
imperialism of Morgan, Rockefeller,
Vanderlip and Gary to be backed by
governmental and, military imper-
ialism? Are we to give them battle
ships and big armies to collect debts
and to protect Wall Street dollars al
ready bloody with exploitation at
home, from the wrath Of the exploit
ed peoples Of foreign lands?
It's about the biggest question of
policy this country has had to de-
termfne since the Civil war.
Our preparedness champions pro-
TESS fear Of foreign invasion. They
ask If this country is not to defend
it's liberties. The real question is
this:
Do you prefer to take your chances
with an imaginary European army
who is sure to be economically ex-
hausted and sickened of militarism
Or do you prefer to give your as
sent while this democracy is con-
quered from within, by act Of con-
gress?
For If there's any difference be-
tween United States Steel, or Stan
dard Oil and the worst militarist rul-
ing class in Europe, the advantage
is all with the latter, so far as de-

; Same Old Chauncey.
Chauncey M. Depew made a
speech at a Republican club dinner
in New. York the other night in
which, ne. let the cat out Of the bag.
He said: .>~~.x
There will never be- a foreign
commerce until the government pro-
tects American business and Ameri-
can rights in foreign countries. After
our experience in. Mexico. no Ameri-
can capitalist would want to take his
family to Mexico or put his money in
an enterprise in that country unless
he knew our flag would protect
him.
And don't forget Rear Admiral
Chadwick's paper before the Clarke

a nation invested abroad"

HOW LOUIS D. BRANDlES VIEWS MODERN
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

which property. is only a means, then
property must be controlled. This ap-
plies to the regulation of trusts and
railroads, public utility and all the
big industries that control the neces-
stiles Of life. Laws regulating them,
far from being infringements on lib
erty, are in reality projections against
infringements on liberty.
1.-THE whole industrial world is in
state Of ferment. It is in the main
peaceful, and. to considerable ex-
tent silent, but there is felt today very
widely the Inconsistency in this con-
dition Of political democracy and in
dustrial absolutism. The people are
beginning to doubt whether in the
long run democracy and absolutism
can co-exist in the same community;
beginning to doubt whether there is
really a. justification for the great in
equalities in the distribution Of
wealth. Louis D. Brandeis in the
American Magazine, February, 1911.

ALL LABOR RALLIES TO
8-HOUR WORKDAY
CONTINUED from page ~


hours or less does not each day ex-
haust his energy. He has time for
recuperation and something more.
His mind is more alert and active.
He is capable of more vigorous and
more effective work. He goes to
and from work at a time when WE'LL
dressed people are on the streets. He
really has time and opportunity for
making comparisons and forming de-
sires. He has longer time to stay at
home for himself. He wants books,
pictures, friends, entertainment. In
short, he becomes .hnman being with
intellectual desires and cravings.
This change makes him a more valu-
able worker. Because his standard
Of living has changed he demands
higher wages. Men and women will
not continue indefinitely to work for
wages that force them to live below
their concepts of what constitute
standards of living"
After thorough investigation, the
main or Manly report of the United
States Commission on Industrial
Relations, signed by Frank p. Walsh,
~~AAAA Ds ACAAAOA1, JhAACo ~ SOAAAACAA <1AA<
Austin B. Garretson, declared:
The physical well-being, mental
development and recreational needs
OF every class Of population demand
that under normal circumstances the
working day should not exceed eight
hours"
Out Of the long work day and out
Of low wages and unemployment and
the degrading conditions of life that
follow long hours of exacting and ex-
hausting work spring such undiscip-
lined riots of misery as the recent one
OF Youngstown, Ohio.
In its demand for the eight-hour
workday the organized American
labor movement iss laying the essen
tial foundation to- enduring economic
justice and to the best citizenship. Z
