The School children as they make

Instructions prepared by the Fuel

Mines showing how coal can be

ideas put forth are:
"We' means everybody = man,
woman and child-who burns coal:
directly by feeding it into a furnace
or a crate; or indirectly, by causing
others to burn it to produce heat
or steam; or by purchasing, using
or wasting things that are manufac>
tured which require the use Of coal
in their manufacture.
Let us talk directly to the per-
son who uses coal If you save
coal you kill two birds with one
stone. You save money which you
may invest in a Liberty Bond. and
you save coal which the nation
needs for war purposes; and these
purposes include keeping the fac
tories running to supply all the food
and clothing and other necessary
articles that the people must have,
and keeping the workmen and their
families warm and we'll fed.
The consumption of coal has

superintendent of the factories, most of

that this transformation took place

Put No Escape
~ From Discipline

The advocacy Of accounting and con-
troll to increase the productivity of labor
IN the Lenine pronouncement is equally
interesting. He declares that the slo-
gan, keep accurate and conscientious
accounts; conduct business economically;
do not loaf; do not steal; maintain strict
discipline at work." which have always
been ridiculed by revolutionary Social
lists, have now become an urgent and
practical slogan. He tells his followers
that without thorough state accounting
and control of production and distrbu-
ton the authority of the toilers, and
their freedom, cannot last, and a return
to the yoke of capitalism is inevitable
More definitely he announces eve
should Immediately introduce piece work
and try it out in practice. We should
try out every scientific and progressive
suggestion of the Taylor system; we
should compare the earnings with the
general total of production or the ex-
ploitation results of railroad and water
transportation and so on" He goes even
so far as to concede that the effort to
increase the productivity of labor
through such measures will require the
use of compulsion so that the slogan of
the dictatorship of the proletariat should
not be weakened by the practice of a too
mild proletarian government" In this
connection he offers vigorous defence
of the courts, as essential to the rule

THE Soviet Machine
u at Work

The Soviet government, which was es-
tablished through the successful Boil
shevist revolution of November, 1917, is
based on series of popular assemblies,
local, provincial and central. There is a
joint Soviet of soldiers and workers
deputies in every town, the principle Of
representation being one representative
to every 500 population. The various
wards in the towns also have Sovlets.
The representatives are elected by equal
suffrage and secret ballot. There is full
right of immediate recall on the part of
constituents. The representation in the
Soviet thus registers the changing senti-
ment or mood of the masses of the popu-
lation Above the local Soviets of the
towns and the villages, some of which
have peasant Soviets, stand the Soviets
OF the provinces and counties. Finally.
there is the central All-Russian Con-
gress Of Soviets, which is made up of
delegates from the provincial Soviets,
elected in proportion Of one delegate to
every $4,000 population. The All-Rus-
sian Soviet elects a central executive
committee of about three hundred mem
bers, which is the Parliament of Russia.
This parliament in turn elects Peoples
Commissars, who constitute the Cabinet
or Ministry. The chairman of the Com
missars is Nikola Lenine, who thus plays
the role Of Prime Minister.
The emphasis in the work of the Soviet
government is placed on what is termed
an economic government"- is. the
organization and management of indus
try-rather than on purely political ad-
ministration.
The economic government" is super
vised by a Council of Public Welfare.
This is a body of experts, selected for
their prominence in the different fields
Of industry. The membership of the
council includes, for example, the leading
experts in electrical engineering, indus
trial chemistry, textile manufacture,
steel fabrication and so on. The utiliza-
ton of technical experts in the Russian
socialistic organization is perhaps it's
most distinctive and significant feature

lizard Going for
IL IL Revolutions Here

Not only are the chaotic conditions of
governmental and industrial organiza-
ton, which gave Bolshevism it's oppor-
tunity in Russia, not present in the
United States, but there are certain fac
tors at work here which must tend to
block the path of Bolshevism on this side
Of the Atlantic. The nation has lust
emerged from the conduct of a brilliantly
successful war. The national mood
made jubilant and exultant by victory, is
not likely to be hospitable or receptive
to revolutionary foreign propaganda
The countries in which Bolshevism has
thus far made its great gains were all
losers in the great war. There can be no
doubt that in Germany chagrin of defeat
is a potent factor in the present drift
toward revolutionary socialism. In de-
feated country social revolution follows
naturally as the aftermath of an I'M
successful war. In this country the high

of proper training in discipline. "There
is" he states, "a lack of appreciation Of
the simple and obvious fact that, if the
chief misfortunes of Russia are famine
and unemployment, these misfortunes
cannot be overcome by any outbursts of
enthusiasm, but only by thorough and
universal organization and discipline, in
order to increase the production of bread
for men and fuel for industry, to trans
port it in time and to distribute it in the
right way. That therefore responsibility
for the pangs Of famine and unemploy-
ment falls on every one who violates the
labor discipline in any enterprise and in
any business. That those who are re-
sponsible should be discovered, tried and
punished without mercy"
1t appears from these remarkable ut
terances of Lenine that socialism, con-
fronted in Russia for the first time with
the problem of industrial organization
and administration, has been forced to
resort to the same measures for maintain
ing social order and discipline which the
Socialists have assailed so bitterly when
applied under the present system. The
critics of socialism have often declared
that attempts to realize it must result
either in the breakdown of the industrial
machinery from the lack of sufficient mo-
tt .es for productive effort on the part of
workers or in the establishment of an

elation Of military success is a psycho-
logical barrier to the importation of Boil
shevist doctrines.
1t is not to be forgotten, moreover,
that the American spirit has always
been hostile to revolutionary socialism.
The average American instinctively pre-
fers the principles of private property
and private enterprise, individual init
alive and individual independence, per
sonal freedom and personal responsible
ity, upon which our present social order
are founded, to the theories of public
ownership, collective control and social
responsibility which lie at the basis of
socialism. In the past, moreover, Amer
leans have been too prosperous in the
main to pay much attention to schemes
Of social reconstruction. In the last two
decades, to be sure, the rise of the cost
OF living and the consequent unrest have
made favorable opportunity for Social.
list propaganda.
The increase in the Socialist vote az
successive elections registered the effect
of these conditions. In the recent cleo
ton, however, the Socialist vote receded
to marked extent. Every one of the
twelve Socialists who ran for Congress
IN New York City was defeated and the
only Socialist member of Congress run
ming for reelection was rejected by an
emphatic majority. In the country at
large only one Socialist candidate for
Congress was successful. Thus far So
clalism in this country has made no SUBJ
stantlal progress toward convincing the
American people of the expedency and
justice OF its programme and capturing
the political power for its realization.
which, according to Lenine, are the two
preliminary goals of the revolutionary
Socialist movement.
Another obstacle in the path Of Boil
shevism in this country is the powerful
influence of the majority of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and its great
national leaders, Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and others. Socialism has failed
IN repeated efforts to capture the annual
convention of the American Federation
OF Labor, and until it takes this strong
hold 1t can hardly make any real prog
ress toward the conquest of American
voters at large.
Finally, the influence of the Church,
both Catholic and Protestant, must be
set down as another powerful deterrent
to the expansion of Bolshevism in
America. There is probably no country
IN which the Church exercises so direct
and potent an influence on public opinion
and political programmes as it does in
the United States. The Catholic Church
has conducted an organized and well d.
rected propaganda against socialism.
The various Protestant bodies are
equally antagonistic to its teachings

IL of Order

The foregoing brief survey discloses
that the economic conditions in this coun-
try, the national mood emanating from
successful war, the instructive tendency
OF the American people, the attitude Of
organized labor and the influence of the
great religious denominat.o ns are all NJ
favorable to The spread Of Bolshevisro
In view of these conditions it seems most
UNLIKELY that the Bolshevist movement
IN this country will spread to any notable
extent or with any alarming rapidity.

AS vitality essential to the solution of
this problem he urges two things: First,
the need of employing experts, and, sec
ond, the Importance of strict universal
accounting and control of production and
distribution with view to increasing
the productivity of labor.
With respect to the employment of ex-
perts he states: "Without the direction
Of specialists of different branches of
knowledge, technic and experience, the
Transformation toward socialism is i'm
possible, for socialism demands a higher
productivity of labor in comparison with
capitalism and on the basis which has
been attained by capitalism"
In this connection he justifies the pay
ment Of very high remuneration for the
services of "the biggest of the bourgeois
specialists" at least during the transi-
ton period. This is extremely signif-
cant. The leader of Russian socialism,
confronted with the task of industrial
organization and management, has been
forced to recognize the truth, hitherto
1aiy overlooked or ignored by So
clallsts, that talent and genius will hard
ly render their Indispensable services to
society If deprived of their proportion

Soviet government in this respect has
been criticised and attacked both out
