a feeling of self-respett and dignity
which is desirable in a democratic ma
ton. And, Of course. the you
give them the more they'll want;
wants create wants. Thus classes
rise. And the whole theory of this
revolutionary movement is what the
classes should rise together.

the guild system is the ideal of the
British revolutionist. He got it from
the communist. It has Bolshevik
blood in it. Observes: The craft sys-
tenn of labor unions provides for the
organization of all the, carnenters in
one union, all the engineers in an
other, all the f1rernen in another, all
drivers in another. all the teamsters
in another, all the pit boys in another.
Now all these unions are found around
mines. So they would all be organ
lied into a trade guild-the mining
trades guild. and this guild would
dominate the mining industry.
h mine workers under n%ationalt-
cation of the mine would find their
local union the voting place where
their economic differences and eco
nomic interests would be satisfied and
7 settled. Their district union would be
the places. of appeal, for. all economic
: demands, and their national union,
l controlling the industry, the repre-
sentative organization OF final! appeal
for all the economic concerns Of every
one in the whole mining guild.
Similarly in the transportation in.
