What Labor wants is Democracy.

What Labor wants is Democracy.
1t is not more wages. Even when it gets
more wages it is not satisfied.
In countries where labor is best paid it is
most insurgent.
1t is not shorter hours.
IL is not welfare work. 1t is not uplift
1t is not charity of any kind, nor cod
ding, nor sympathy, nor being helped
nor any such thing.
Some laborers and some representatives
of labor may say they want these things,
but they do not understand. They are
superficial.
When you look deep into the heart of the
workingman, you discover that all he wants
is democracy.
What does that mean?
1t means he wants to be treated as a
human being.
He does not want to be bought and sold
as chattel. to be bossed as slave, nor
to be herded as a steer.
He feels he is a man. And the funda-
mental desire of man is his manliness.
That is, that he may determine his own
life and the conditions under which he
shall work; that he shall have the privilege
of expressing his own opinions, making his
own mistakes, choosing his own friends and
forming his own organizations.
All the trouble with labor has arisen
from the notion, inherited from the dark
past that the man who supports himself
by his daily work is somehow inferior to
the man who is supported by an endow-
ment. That is the root poison of the Eng
lish class system, German and Austrian
Kaiserism, Hindu caste, and American
snobbery.
THE object Of all reform in this essen
tial matter" says Mr.. Wilson, must be
the general democra Cation of industry
based upon a full recognition of the rights
of those who work in whatever rank to
participate in some organic way in every
decision which directly affects their well
fare"

On the ISSUE Of
4mericanism There Can
Be NO Compromise

BY DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1919. by Frank Crane,

Let the Capitalist and Laborer sit down
together and talk things over. That way
lies the untying of all social and economic
hard knots.
Quit the "Class" business Stop the
hating and cursing and contempt and in
tolerance.
Believe in men,
All men are fair. That is safe general
rule. All men want to be fair.
Despise no man. Have done with con-
tempt and defiance and silly heroics.
Treat men right. Approach men with
courtesy. Respect men.
Nothing makes a real American moreS
disguised than to hear the Employer talk
of the unfairness, stupidity and stubborn
ness of working people, OF to hear the Labor
agitator talk of the tyranny, injustice and
greed of Employers.
Both statements, as congratulations, are
lies.
OF course there are selfish and bullying
men in all walks of life, in the Directors
Room and at the Work Bench. But the
Average Man is fair minded. He does not
want to cheat, nor to tyrannize. Neither
does he want to be uplifted or improved.
He wants square deal. That's ALL
You've got to believe in folks or you
will not get along.
Men are fair.
If you believe this you shall be saved. If
you will not believe it you shall be damned.
It's not any condition" or economic
system" that is the trouble; it is the sus-
picion, class hate bitterness, pessmism,
violence and other dirty passions that befoul
your own breast, that make the trouble.

Builders

BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.
Hast a strong man die within his bed?
Hast him turn his pallid brow toward death?
Hast heard the signal in the throat which saith
lie quits the CHASTITY fight for one last breath?
Then hast thou groaned aloud and bowed thine head?
But who count the groans Of yesterday
From watbeds strcwn in hideous dissrray?
oh PITY pity! pity all who can,
And help to build the Brotherhood of Man!
Hast heard mother mourning for her young?
Hast known the grief which groweth old?
Canst multiply that grief ten million fold?
Then look at thine Mother Earth Behold
Her fainting with dry eye and bitten tongue.
Mourning her children beaten into clay
Mourning her slain and mourning who ssy--
Who still shall say unless surely plan,
Unless build the Brotherhood of Man.
