WHAT THEN?

Many important trade and indus trial papers and some of the more or less leading dailies are comment ing upon the apparent fulfilment of what last fall they had foresoen: the | industrial revival throughout the United States. And they arc in l. told-you-so fashion repeating that they had warned that something had to be done to prevent labor strife destroying the benefits invested ca pital might otherwise enjoy from such revival. Now, they point out, the industrial revival is being ac- companied by general revival ot industrial strife wherein labor is asking for increased wcges and shorter hours.
 This is some time ago, and day by day the reports of labor struggles are increasing in length and general ity. They are taking place in almost all the industries and the insistency with which the workers are pressing the issue, it is to be conceded, fully justify the forebodings which the Journalistic prophets above referred to had given expression to.
 They had clamored then that something be done to prevent such an action upon the part of labor, but they did not suggest anything that looked very feasible to Capital and hence nothing was dcne.
 In tho estimation of good many the only phase of industrial activity worth considering .3 that phase which is intimately connected with profits. The fact that labor is inti- mately concerned in any such thing not for one instant is deemed mat ter worth consideration.
 In the conceptions of modern business enterprise that are general ly accepted the only serious consid- eration worth while is the profit consideration It is upon profit that business lives and it is upon profit only that it can flourish.
 Hence any condition of industry which is accompanied by disturb ance is most objectionable. The la bor that is most keenly appreciated is the labor that accepts what ever is given it without murmur and makes no effort to improve condi- tions and thus decrease the profit ratio of the business. Employers have given this matter much con- They have sought re- fuge in slavery, in peonism, or near slavery and near--peonism and they found that while this represented the most satisfactory state soTe- times, on other occasions wage work ing appealed to them to greater extent.
 I.abcr that was enslaved became an increased responsibility So cal led free labor gave them no concern.
 
 They could employ or not employ them today, tomorrow or the next aav Eat when not employed the np-keep anu maintenance of that labor cost nothing
 Necessarily the advantage of thls form is obvious. The ownership of | l horse. a mule or slave necessi- .ates these animals bein:s fed and , sheltered and protected as to health IS a chatiel. With a wage worker. he chattel interest lasts only when he wage earner is surrendering a profit making labor power and ends when he is not working. The em-
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-05-03

WY worker is we'll fed, healthfully clothed and suitably sheltered. On the contrary, the wage earners be- ing numerous and more than suffi- cient for every job, the loss of one life on account of maiming in in- dustry, or from acquiring diseases in an unhealthy occupation cuts no manner of figure. He can be re- placed instantly and without trouble.
 Against the advantage of this system, the wage earners have cast upon themselves the responsibility for carving out their own existence. This means then that they have to struggle against the instinct of the employer to reduce wages to an ir reducible minimum. That is over come only by joint action. That joint action is more eesily cccomp lishcd when the labor market is noc overstocked excessively and em ployers bidding for labor power are mora plentiful. During periods Of industrial activity then, laboc strikes and labor struggles, and the boss pays the penalty for the happy condition he enjoyed when labor was a drug in the market and they could get workers for what they wished to pay them.
 It is not clear that anything can be done Employers in modern ma chine production have had to sec that workers were to a certain limi- ted degree educated and that the intelligent use of their reason may make them efficient in machine shor in mine, in factory and in mill. Ac- cordingly also this fact results in fewer industrial superstitions pre- vailing and more are gradually dis appearing. The system itself pre- pares within itself it's own dissold tion. The development of intelligent action is slow, but what there is of it becomes spontaneous. It may be- come somewhat bewildered by doc trinaires and hair splitters, but the masses know very well what is di- rectly inimical to them when they see it.
 The interests then discover that prohibitive legislation such as pre- vailed in the happier days Of con vention acts and the like is not like ly to be successful They therefore despair of any such action.
 On the other hand they turn to the workers and accomplish by fattery and cajolery and chicanery what they cannot do by direct pro- hibition They affect the higher plane of things. They have civic fe- derations ethical culture societies, commission of investigation and the like They approve unhesitatingly the leadership of safe and conserva- tive men in the labor movement They endorse a moderate policy and approve "the coming together of ca pital and labor" They would kill the movement with kindness and their benevolence is thing of beau ty and a joy for ever.
 This operates much more smooth ly and much more successfully than
 
 extent it has chloroformo1 the ag- gressive tendencies of labor mind full of unemployed crowds, bread lines and other panicky conditions. The leaders have become 'personal- ities of some consideration

WASHINGTON HAS A
LEADING LIBRARY Of
THE WORLD THERE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--Gifts from
many sources have brought more
tLan $4,000 volumes to the Library of
Congress during the year, and com
prised more than one-fourth of the
additions to its shelves. Retaining it's
place as the third greatest library in
the world, and the greatest in the
western world. the library now con-
tains 2,451,974 books, 154,20O maps AMI
harris, 770,24S volumes and pieces of
music and 392,905 prints.
For large additions to the Chinese.
Japanese and Korean collections the
Library acknowledges debt to DR..
Walter T. Swingle of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, who visited the Far
East in 1915 and purchased on behalf
OF the library total of $500 volumes,
including early Chinese books printed
from blocks; Chinese historical and
descriptive works covering the period
OF first contact with Europeans; early
Chinese dictionaries and encycloped-
las; Chinese works on natural history
and pharmacopoeias; geographical
works; the writings Of Confucius and
the works of famous scholars: and a
good copy Of the oldest Japanese
printed work extant, probably dating
from the beginning of the thirteenth
century; and large collection of the
writings of Kaibara, the Benjamin
Franklin of Japan
The Lincoln documents which have
been presented to the library are of
exceptional interest. These consist of

Composers Prefer National Library.
AS a rule the American composer
ard the American music publisher are
beginning to prefer the national to q
local LIBRARY as the permanent Gus
tcdian of manuscript scores. The
Chief of the Music Division records
not only gifts of autograph scores of
American composers but promises of
gifts to come.
In the Document Division an effort
was made to complete the file of ofic-
ial publications of the J4atin-Ameri-
can countries, and it was exceptionally
fruitful through a visit to these coun-
tries by the Law Librarian, DR.. E. III.
borchard. The library's collection of
Latin American documents may now
be considered one of its important
features.
A number of Yiddish books came to
the library in the two Deinard collec-
tions. The Yiddish literature in the
United States assumes a respectable
piace as compared to other litera-
lures; and even If the predictions of
some come true that the Yiddish
tongue will be dead before long, the
fiddish literature will still offer
wide and interesting field for histor-
lans, philologist, and students of com
parative literature.
The portion of the library now clas-
sified under he new classification con
tains 1,54S,500 volumes. Great pro-
gress has been made In eliminating
remnants of the old classification.

now been reclassifed, except such az

tory at Hartford, Conn.,, but other
thousands who have been employed by
the Company In its branches and at the
New York headquarters.
