 tancy and under all considerations.
 The most vexing feature of the
 whole situation is the fact that La
 bor is frequently inclined to revolt
 against conditions. If that Labor
 is of a highly skilled nature it is not l immediately to be replaced and the
 revolt is suppressed with difficulty.
 Therefore preparationists urge thai
 there must be in all industries as
 complete an abolition of dependence
 upon skilled labor as possible. The
 labor to be employed must be Of such a simple nature that it can be immediately acquired by any one
 who may be made perfect in very
 short time by repetitive routine. The labor is thus so simplified that
 even when it revolts it can be imme'
 diately replaced from the unem-
 ployed ranks and those who evid-
 ence such a revolting disposition
 never again employed.
 It is an essential therefore for
 correct condition of industrial pre-
 paredness that the number of avail
 able workers" be increased. That is
 to say in blunter language there must
 always be an abundance of unem-
 ployed ready and willing to be em-
 ployed. These can be used to force
 down the discontented to stay with
 their jobs until such time as the
 possibility for any revolt is elimi-
 mated.
 A most interesting preparationist
 statement has been made that the present tendency of workers to strike is a relic of an individualis- tic age. It has as a right no l place in modern collective produc- |
 of place and that it is now necessary } that laws be passed whereby 1t will ? be made a felony to strike under certain conditions. He points out : that a strike can be well conceived 3 as great a treason as revolt against
 the government, and that it might | intn . use this weapon in Labor's hands to ? drive American competition off the : market.
 . It is quite evident that these pre- l parationists have given complete stu . dy to their subject, and that theIe 5 is no phase that has escaped atten- l tion. Hence they have been obliged = to point out that legislation is re quired which will prevent any sucf
 possibility as strikes herea'te1 $ The workers may have grievances < which they would have redressed I but they cannot be redressed by { . strike That has to be considered

 purpose.
 s The main idea is to have tn n working classes complete subordi l. nate class. They must be shorn o ]. all vestige of real power. That it i
 admitted is of some difficulty be n cause of politicians to make them e selves solid with the workers play l, ing upon their feelings and thus us s ing their votes. But this is to b. > gotten over by a process of artificia a selection. The workers are to b. a absolutely de-uniozed. There is t. 1t be no room for any labor organiza r. tion.
