Victory!
There has never been any question
about our victory. From the moment
our nation declared war we have
known what the end would be.
Now our victory has come!
History has seen a great many VIC
tories. Caesar won victories. Ma
poleon won victories. Atilla won vic
history for black victories-brute vic
tories; conquest victories.
But there are other victories rec
orded in history also. Read about
Kossuth and Garibaldi and Cromwell
and Grant. They won victories for
the people-for principle.
Along with Atilla will go Nero and
Wilhelm and Ludendorff and Ferdi-
nand. Along with Kossuth and Carl
baldi and Washington will go Wilson
and Joffre and Pershing and Foch and
Haig and Diaz and Albert.
There have been many victories
written into histery-but they fall into
two main classes-victories for plum
der and victories for people.
We chronicle today great victory
glorious the world has known-per-
haps the most glorious!
We have decided two things: The
idea of freedom is to survive and the
idea of autocracy is to die; and the
might of democracy is greater than
the might of autocracy. This double
decision of right and might kills au-
tocracy in government forever.
This is great thing to have de-
cided. If historians write the story
as they should write it, children for
generation after generation will thrill
as they read of these last four years
and they will feel developing within
them a great passion for the free
dom now made secure to them.
The facts of today are marvellous.
They are glorious. They are so great
and they mean so much that we can
not understand the greatness or the
meaning-it is too much for US.
We have won victory that is sober
ing in its magnitude.
Victoryl II is oursl
In olden days, when victory was
won the armies went home and the
captains and kings counted the plum
der and apportioned the slaves to
carry it home. 1t was easy for them.
We have what may well be our
hardest task ahead. No plunder will
be brought home to us. Not single
dollars worth of plunder. Our men
will come back as they went!
Think of that!
1t is one of the wonderful things
about this war. Our great army went
5000 miles to fight-just for prin-
ciple!
No plunder, no territory-just
rights-just plain, common. everyday
rights! 1t is heroic and sublime and
wonderful. 1t ought to make every
last American-evcn the worst-want
to live up on level with the ideals
of his nation.

will keep up wages. However, we
must not forget that in every indus
trial controversy that arises there are
now three factors-employe, employer
and the public.
Awards to Be Permanent.
"The war labor board, of which
Frank P. Walsh and former President
TWO-ZUEBLIN
Taft are joint chairmen, has laid down
certain rules affecting industrial con-
ditions, wages, hours of labor, ETC.,
which should, and no doubt will be-
come permanent. Henceforth, en-
ploye and employer will not be per-
mitted to quarrel in private. The pub
lie will demand and has right to
know the facts. Public opinion will
solve many industrial problems in the
future, because it has been educated
to think and to act.
"With this better understanding and
the program that is being mapped out
in Washington, this nation will show a
greater development than ever before.
Standards of justice must rise above
those of the past Old things are to
be made new. England has worked
out a great labor program. France
and Italy will solve the same prob
lem. We now enter, as it were, into
new world. Let US not go back to
the old primitive status. We must CO.
operate and be worthy of the great
democracy that has been won over
there"

RECONSTRUCTION
OF INDUSTRIES
IN ENGLAND
PLAN TO REMOVE MUTUAL
DISTRUST.
Associations of Employers and Trade
Unionists Have New Outlook on
Life, Based on a Frank RecOgni-
tion of Each Others Rights.

Plans to eradicate the mutual dis
trust between employers and employed
in English industries have been formu-
lated by an association composed
about equally Of employers and trade
unionists, known as the Devon and
Cornwall Association for Industrial
and Commercial Reconstruction. A
series of conferences held at Plymouth
resulted in report which is outlined
in the Monthly Labor Review, United
States department of labor, bureau
of labor statistics.
The conferees agreed that the root
of the trouble in industry and COM
merce before the war WAS the distrust
and suspicion between capital and
management on the one hand and la
Dor on the other and that in spite of
the unifying effect of the war the
same situation might arise again
when peace came. They aim, there
fore, to substitute for the old an
tagonism a cooperation based on mu-
tual understanding.
The causes of distrust are given as
the dissertation of employees from any
share in the control of industry or in
the responsibility for the conditions
under which it is carried on; the be-
lief Of each side that the other has OBJ
tanned or is trying to secure more
than it's share of the profits; the work
ers' fear of unemployment, and the OBJ
lection of some employers to assoca-
tions, whether Of employers or en-
ployes.
To correct the first of these, the
English conferees held there must be
new outlook on life, based on n
frank recognition of the solidarity of
society. 1t must be acknowledged that
industry is made for man and not man
for industry. For furthering the adop-
ton of this principle the conferees
propose an exchange of views, the
award of greater returns of industry
in proportion to workers, the secur-
ing Of workers against the risk Of un-
employment, and the abandonment by
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-11-23

them of all restrictions on output.
Both parties should organize and col
lective bargaining should be ex-
tended.
The report recommends adoption of
the proposals of the Whitley reports.
which. in the opinion Of the conferees.
besides preventing or settling disputes.
will serve the purpose, thru the coun-
ellis. of supplying facts on cost of pro-
duction in given industry. thus max
ing possible fair distribution of
profits and preventing profiteering.
Foremen, it is urged, should be ap-
pointed by some method under which
the employees shall have voice in
their selection. II is suggested either
that the employer should name n panel
from which the workmcn should select
the foreman, or that foreman should
not be appointed or continued in Of
flee in the face of reasoned opposi-
ton.
Limitation Of the right of arbitrary
dismissal is strongly urged.

Victory
By CHESTER NJ. WRIGHT,
of the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy.

But about the days ahead.
When the last word has been writ
ten away over there in amazing
France, that land of patience and
courage and unshakable devotion to
freedoms cause, our soldiers will come
sailing home and our fighting ships
will take off the queer paint they have
been wearing. We shall stop making
bullets and guns and tanks and army
trucks and we shall go back to build
ing houses and making sewing ma
chimes, tractors and harvesting ma
chimes and all manner of things for
use and comfort which We stopped
making to make war.
We shall go back to readjusting our
| life to peace-time basis. We shall
| begin to shake ourselves out of the re-
strictions we have voluntarily placed
ourselves under and we shall begin to
work ont a new kind of life.
That is something to give US pause
for thought in these days of victory.
We do not pack up our plunder and
go home. We have a more complicated
problem than that. So has every other
nation.
The world as we knew it before the
great war has disappeared. 1t has
been consumed in the flames of war.
Nothing is just as it was. Look about
you and see. Read about France and
England and Belgium and Italy. The
old has been destroyed.
We must build over again. We cam
not rebuild the world as it was. The
J egg cannot be unscrambled. Ashes
cannot be remade into trees.
We may build as we will. II we
are no wiser than we were four years
ago we will build according to the old
pattern. II we have learned some
thing we will make a new pattern
fitted to the needs of life. and the
structure will be new-new in line and
detail, new in plan and purpose
better and more beautiful and more
joyful.
We will look deeply into democracy
and see what is this thing for which
we have fought We shall see what
can be made Of it when we go about
1t to plumb its depths to the full
We have had so much democracy

the spirit that has written victory
