AN OLD DREAM

Those labor unions that arc demanding a six-hour dav, a five
day week, and, where BolshevsGc ideas have crept in, a COM
and customs now considered the very mudsils and bulwarks Of
civilization and morality, are advancing no new theory, but merely
reviving in a new form a theory that has been long considered
and abandoned as impractical, .r;@
More than one hundred years ago, when Samuel TAYLOR Cole
ridge was a student at Oxford, one OF his fellow students was
Robert Southey, another poet, and these two, boys conceived the
idea of establishing in the sohtudes Of America a communistic
society which they called a pantsocracy, Each member CON
tributeds an equal share to the general fund, and all property was
TO be held in common. They were to begin with thirty men and.
an equal number of women, who could mate and inmate at will
like the birds, There was to be no government, no wage system
and none of those things which are considered so wrong and repre-
hensible at the present time by the theorists who wish to tear
down all the edificcs OF civilization, and either build simpler ones
or get, along without any. They were ahead of the modern re-
formers in this: that instead Of a six-hour day the worker would
be limited to three or at most four hours a day.
Everything looked promising, and more than enough Young
people signified their desire to Join the party. The two Young
promoters ran away from school when they were about half
through and without taking a degree, and violated their own
rules by marrying two sisters whose father was "n trade" This
was a great disgrace. and it caused their plan to die at its birth.
Others and more practical men have tried community life in this
country, the most notable instance being Brook Farm, because
of the eninence OF the men connected with il. and one after another
they came to grief, Chas. A. Dana, r. w. Emerson, w. II. Chan
ming. Theodore Parker, George Ripley and other famous men,
and Margaret Fuller were OF the community.
The story of this failure is we'll told in Hawthorne "BEthe.
dale" The Brook Farmers seem to have gone other rcformers
several better. Instead Of shorter hours and fewer DAYS, no pro,
vision was made for any work at all. and the end came as soon
as the supplies gave out. A good manv similar efforts were made
and alecame to grief. Among the latest OF these was the com.
munitv at Topoobamno, on the Mexican coast, near the southern
end Of California. WHICH closed its career only a few wears ago.
In the sweat OF thy face thou shalt eat bread" was the doom pro-
nounced on all men, and there was no stipulation as to hours or
working conditions.
Every attempt that has been made to escape this doom, how
ever promising at the outset. has ended in disaster.
/ Things as they are may not be the vervl best. but radical
haf6es do not improve them any, and inevitably come to disaster.

be materially injured in many differ
