INCREASE PRODUCTION.

We get prosperity only by increas-
ing production. We can increase pro-
duction only when we buy back from
each other all that we produce. There
is no such thing as selling without
buying or producing without using
for q whole people. We can imagine
city working people living on corn
bread, potatoes and little cheese or
cheap sausage, and in novels and
clothed in rags instead of good, clean
clothes. But if they did this where
would the farmers who raises wheat,
beef, vegetables, cotton, wool and
hides be? Also what would become
of their efficiency as workers? Or
the farmer might live like a beast
and what would become of the mar
ket for the city mans product?
Saving? Not at all. There
wouldn't be any, because the labor
earnings would fall to a point of just
supporting this miserable existence.
And let no one say that temporarily
it might bring down prices. What
do the food trusts have great stor-
age houses for? They have been
using these to force us to pay more,
and we therefore have to deny our
selves many essential things.

SOCIAL EFFICIENCY.

Efficiency is an easy word to get
tangled up with. Almost every
crooked enterprise can make de-
Tense for itself on the grounds of
efficiency. The great corporations,
for instance, tell us that their eff
cheney more than balances the great
profits they make. They take credit
for our business progress. Never
theless, efficiency is good word
If it is properly used.
1t makes no difference to US, for
instance, how efficient internally
the management of the Standard Oil
company is, if this company charges
more than it should for oil. Its real
efficiency for the public is measured
entirely in terms of selling price.
The group of men who monopolize
certain necessity and then advance
the price and make some more profits
by introducing better methods are
inefficient for the public.
And it is not difficult to see why
the so-called efficiency of the big
interests is waste and loss to the
public. They are owned by men
who have no responsibility except
possible financial loss and whose
only object is gain. These stock
holders want all they can get in the
way of price all the time and they
want, too, any gains to be made by
improvements. They then hire men
to do this work for them-the same
men whom the public might con-
ceivably employ to do the same work
without the intervention of the
stockholders
Their efficiency, measured in
terms of dollars wrung from con-
sumers and workers employed, is
just the opposite of real efficiency
from the point of view of society.
AS We grow in wisdom we will
take the ownership and management
out of hands whose efficiency con-
sists in getting the best Of us. and
!! then by hiring production experts
we will endeavOr to reduce the costs
of the goods produced. Then every
time one Of these mines or factories
finds a more efficient way OF doi5 e
things, there will be an increase in
social efficiency.

\ CONVERT TO PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP

Remember Charles S. Mellen? Of
course. Before Morgan took him
east to manage the New Haven road
he was prominent in railroad circles
in the northwest. After the New
Haven had been looted in approved
Wall street fashion, Mellen retired
as the scapegoat for the sin which
had been committed.
After several years of silence he
has given rather unusual interview
to the press. He declares that the
solution of the railroad problem is
for the government to own the
roads exclusively as it does the post
office He would add, also. all
public utilities.
d Mr. Mellen puts much Of the
blame for the high cost Of living on
the middlemen. He says that so per
cent of the population are outside OF
first-hand production. Some work
hard for living and some are mere
.barnacles. And he tells a little story
from personal experience which any
farmer can appreciate. He had raised
10 acres of celery and asked the
commission men how much thew
would give for it. The reply was /
cent a bunch. although the retailers
at that time were asking o. cents
a bunch. He left the celery in the
ground
Mellen believes that "the DAYS
when immense fortunes will be left
to the heirs of rich men are coming
to an end"

THE PLUMB PLAN SPREADING.

Organized labor in America has
been quick to recognize the posi-
bilities of the Plumb plan, and to
approve it's underlying principles.
There are many indications from all
over the country that the drive of
the organized railway employees for
naturalization and democracy in the
control of the railroads has encour-
aged labor to define it's stand.
Street railway employees at Oak
land, Cal, find in the Plumb plan
a complete solution of their local
transportation problem. Without
altering a detail. they propose the
Plumb plan for the electric lines op-
Grating in Oakland, and ask that i'm
mediate steps be taken to secure a
just valuation Of the property, to
form the basis for transfer of own
ership to the municipality.
The American Labor party of New
York, at meeting in 1orkville
Casino, advocated the application Of
the Plumb plan to the municipal rail.
way systems of Greater New York.
A comprehensive resolution was
passed embodying all the special fea-
lures of the Plumb plan-revalua-
tion of the properties, tripartite con-
troll, division Of surplus, etc. Read
ing this resolution. it is interesting
to realize how perfectly the Plumb
plan fits every angle of the municipal
situation in New York.
The New York State Federation
of Labor, at it's convention in SYRIA
cuse last week, went on record in
favor of the Plumb plan for nation
alizatlon Of the railroads of the
United States and democracy in their
control, and at the same time urged
that the same or a similar scheme
be applied to the telegraph and tele-
phone systems. and advocated mu-
nicinal ownership of all public util-
tiles
The Plumb plan also forms one OF
the foremost planks in the platform
OF the new national Labor party re-
Gently formed in Chicago at the in
stance of the Labor party Of Cook
county.
The plan could be admirably ap-
piled to the management of our wa
ter and light system. 1t would give
the employees new spirit, reduce the
gas and water rates and bring higher
earnings to all workmen in the
plants. 1t is worth while to look
into the proposition.

THEY ALL SAID "NEyER" ONCE

THEY ALL SAID NEVER" ONCE.
The steel corporation says "Never"
when it is asked if it will deal with
its workers through trade union or
CARNATIONS.
The Producing Managers associa-
ton says Never" when asked if it
will deal with the Actors Equity as
ISOLATION in New York.
There are here and there other
employers who say the same thing.
How foolish is this!
There are more than 4.OO0,OO0
organized workers in the United
States.
The employers of almost all of
these once said "Never!"
But never" is such a long. long
time-and we are moving so very
rapidly just now in the direction of
juster dealings between man and
man.

OPPOSITION RUNNING DOWN

Rapidly the opponents of the
League of Nations are being shorn
of their defense The reason is that
their defense was full of holes at the
outset.
If in the United States senate only
the truth had been told about the
League of Nations and if there had
been no partisan politics to be
played, we should have had the
treaty ratified before now.
The fact that the opposition is run
ming down indicates that ratification
in the end is inevitable.
There is temptation to quote to
the esteemed and honorable senators
certain wel1-known sentence which
says, Eventually, why not now?"
The nation is getting tired Of
partisan politics.
