DECLARES BO[SHEVISM
0vERRATED IN ENGLAND

According to a statement by the ma
tional civic federation on report by a
commission it sent to England and
France to study after-war conditions,
neither Bolshevism nor revolution,
is seriously menacing these countries,
but the workers are determined to i'm
prove their conditions
THE members OF the commission
are agreed that the radical press in
this country has exaggerated indus
trial disturbances abroad, particularly
in Great Britain, where in their opin-
ion, the .Bolshevist movement IS not
a serious menace. Ample evidence was
at hand of determination on the part
OF the great mass of employers and
employed to work out in an amicab1e
and patriotic manner the new prob
lens that have to be faced.
I'm France the majority of the So
cialist labor organizations, differing
radically from the trade unions OF
this country, are frankly revolutionary
France, however, with her predomin-
ant agricultural interests, while a. the
alter of industrial outbreaks. is at bor-
tom sound1y conservative e. a lust
democracy. There is in general little
sympathy between the landowning
and hard working peasant and the
revolutionary synlicalist.'

graphical union and Charles S. Bar

cational and Cooperative Union OF

THE FRONT OF THE MILL.

In all the recent years of efforts
to keep up production, keep down
costs, promote efficiency and pro-
duce dividends, the greatest inef-
ficiency has been shown in ignoring
the human side of the question.
What would you suggest that we
do to get away from this labor turn
over that is bleeding our business
dry?" asked the owner of a great
lumber industry in the Northwest,
of an industrial efficiency expert
of the school that has begun to
learn.
II would begin at the front end
of the MILL" replied the I. E. F..
! without hesitation
well, we have a controversy here
about that front end. One of our
! foremen declares the front is where
we load finished products to ship.

we get the logs from the woods. |
think it's in the business manage
ment, what do you say?"
II would say that your front door
the primary point for considera-
tion-is in your contact with your
workers. You are figuring on the
vast Importance of material things
and they are important-but you
are neglecting the fundamental
| thing: the human side of the equa-
! tion.'
That was the starting point of a
new era in one industry. The road
to peace and prosperity was not in
| this instance blocked by the obstin-
acy of an indurated, incrusted en-
ployer. He happened to be of a
different type from the great num-
Der of "monarchs of their own
| plants''
One of the greatest causes for in
dustrial unrest and upheavalS comes
from the failure to recognize the
front end of the great machine of
production and of commerce.
Some employers think the count
ing room is the throbbing heart OF
all the business life; that the fin
ancial feature is paramount and that
the paying of dividends is the chief
end of life. So strong is that obses-
sion that everything must subserve.
This shortsightedness has led in
thousands of instances to thwarting
the very end sought, to the untold
suffering OF the workers and the
wreck of the TO kne of investors.
Labor no longer supinely submits
TO- oppressive conditions. No matter
how patient and tolerant the work
ers have been in the past, the day
of submission to existence wages

PARLOR PROLETARIANS VS..
PIFFLERS.

Secretary Wilson scored strong
point against iron laws and surptu-
airy actions, against oppression and
persecution of workers when he told
what his Investigations had disclosed
in the northwest during the war. He
says:
eve found that whenever the
legitimate. evolutionary aspirations
of the workers were given an op-
portunity to develop, there the In
dustrial Workers of the World found
no foothold. It was only in the
places where there was the iron hand
of oppression on the part of the en-
ployers used, upon the workers
themselves that this peculiarly revo-
lutionary spirit found any express
sion whatsoever" ..''..
1t has been said that the lum-
Der barons of the Northwest and the
managers Of certain western copper
mining interests were making more
Bolshevists than all the returning

and unsafe and insanitary surround
ings, to the tyranny Of the petty boss
clothed with little brief authority,
has gone.
Capital, the investors, begin to
feel the pinch in many instances be-
fore the final hour of rebellion.
There comes day when the un-
seen overhead, caused by the sullen
and discouraged worker, who has
become liability rather than an
asset, begins to absorb the profits.
The most recent shining example
of incompetency has been the action
Of the officials of the telegraph mon
opoly, in stupidity laundering along
blind, arrogant and brutality intoler-
ant. The assininity of the "hand
picked" union idea, and the pitt
able weakness of some of the more
cowardly and spiritless workers,
completed the vicious circle. The re-
suit is the strike.
The trouble is they didn't know
"the front of the mill-the point
of primary Importance. Living
wages and fair treatment would
have obviated this upheaval but
greed and inefficiency were upper
most in the cosmo of the manage
ment. This, with cowardice, toady-
ism and sickening servility of petty
supervisors and chiefs made condi-
tions unbearable and rebellion in

If we could picture a high tele-
graph official gifted with the
astuteness of an angleworm we
might vision day when there might
be reasonable human understands

to be telegraph companies-and
dividends. But that would be pre-
supposing Americanism instead of
ruthless autocracy in the telegraph

THE TRIUMPH OF WOMAN
SUFFRAGE.

In neither branch of congress was
the vote on the resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the constitu-
ton to confer suffrage on women
sectional or partisan. Representa-
tives of. both parties in the house
and the senate voted for, and men,
bers of both parties voted against,
the resolution. 1t has been con-
tended that the advocates of votes
for women had never been able to
win support from southern DEM
ocrats, but an analysis of the senate
vote shows that senator's from
seven of the 10 southern states, in
Guiding Kentucky and Oklahoma.
were among those supporting the
resolution.
Both senators from each of three
southern states-Oklahoma Ar
kansas and Texas-voted in the af-
firmatiye. The Democratic south's
record on the resolution compares
favorably with that of Republican
New England. The Republican
leader in the senate, Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, opposed the resolution.
The Democratic senator from that
state, Walsh, voted aye The other
Democratic senator from New Eng
land, Gerry of Rhode Island, was
paired for the resolution. Both
Maine senator's, Republicans, voted
for the resolution, and in New
Hampshire and Vermont, the Re-
publican senators were "fifty-fifty. "
Both Connecticut senator's, Repub-
licans, voted mo"
While the vote by which the re-
solution was passed was neither Sec
t1onal nor partisan, nevertheless its
success at this time Is attributed bv
women to the leadership of Presi-
dent Wilson, Democrat. Thinking
men and women have known for 40
years that suffrage would enventu-
ally be extended to women. But
halt-dozen years ago the causes
trlumphs seemed yet long way off.
But President Wilson's espousal
OF the cause and his eloquent plea
TO congress to accord voting priv
1'ege to women not only in recog-
nltlon OF her wonderful services to
the country in it's time of peril, but
as simple act of justice, served
to crystalline and quicken suffrage
sentiment, and the passage of the
resolution by the senate was only
the happening of the expected.
The fight now goes to the state
legislature. At it's recent meeting

LODGE AND HAMILTON.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is an
able historian and biographer.
Among his writings is a biograph
of Alexander Hamilton. The founder
of the Federalist party held about
the same relationship toward the
adoption Of the constitution of the
United States that Mr.. Lodge holds
toward the league of Nations.
There were things about the con-
stitution that Hamilton didn't like,
just as some of the articles OF the
covenant Of the league of nations do
not meet with Senator Lodges ap-
prevail. But Hamilton was big
enough and patriotic enough to give
his support to the constitutions
adoption, and for that he is praised
by Mr.. Lodge in his writings.
"Hamilton's confidence in his
own theory deepened and his faith
in the existing constitution declined.
But when the work was complete at
Philadelphia, when he had put his
name to the compromise which he
had anticipated, and in which he re-
joiced, be gave his adherence to the
| new constitution and the new sys-
tenn wrote Mr.. Lodge.
Had he been an agitator, or a
sentimentalist of muddy morals and
high purposes, a visionary and an
idealist, he would have stood up and
howled against this constitution,
which was not what he wanted, and
which fell SO short of his own stand
ard. AS he was none of these things,
but patriotic man of clear and
practical mind, he knew that the
first rule of successful and bene-
ficial craftsmanship was not to sulk
! because one cannot have just what
ne wants, but to take the best things
obtainable, and sustain it to the ut
| termost''
Senator Lodge upon occasions has
! declared for a league Of nations He
| doubtless realizes that it's covenant
cannot be perfect in all things when
first drafted, but that amendments
will become necessary from time to
time, as it became necessary from
time to time to amend the constitu-
ton.
Senator Lodge now seems to for
get that the first rule of successful
craftsmanship is mot to sulk be-
cause one cannot have just what be
wants." but to take the best thing
| obtainable.
Too bad Senator Lodge is not big
enough and patriotic enough to
earn the commentator he bestows
upon Alexander Hamilton

BLATANT AND BLEATING.

Samuel Gompers doesn't often get
busy with the names of men, but
when he does put tag on a man
it usually is a good and proper one.
In the American Federation of
Labor convention the other day
President Gompers expressed his
opinion of what looks very much
like an effort to shorten the funds
of the department of labor.
Congressman Blanton, with whose
recent utterances readers of this
newspaper are familiar, is one of
the men in Washington whose an
| tagonism to labor is a matter Of
record. He is one of the most un-
seeing men. in the capital. But he
talks much in loud voice. Here is
what Samuel Gompers called this
man:
Blatant, bleating Blanton."
After that nothing remains. to be
said. 1t is to be hoped that the
| voters in Blanton's Texas district
will write the proper chapter with
| which to close the story Of this mans
public career.
HAVE YOU GOT THE NERVE?
Thrift is only another name for
/ determination.
Every man, woman and child in
the United States knows each one
ought to save some portion of what
| is earned every week. That is a
duty they owe to themselves, the
community and the nation. In times
of stress and wreck, each one who
fails in that duty is helpless pas

Everybody can save. All that Is
necessary is the determination to do
so. If you have determination
enough to buy war savings and thrift

PARTY INTERESTS

There are plentiful signs that
thousands of American men and
women both within and beyond the
pale of political parties have ap-
proved and are needing President
Wilson's request that the League Of
Nations be not considered as part
isan issue. Former President Taft,
Former Attorney General Wickers-
ham and Former Senator Burton Of
Ohio are among the notable Repub-
licans who are urging ratification
Of the league by the United States
senate, but they are not alone in this
advocacy.
Reports from every section of the
country show that men and women
who doubtless have political pref
erences are subordinating these to
their love of country; that their
concern for peace in the world, now
and hereafter, transcends their re-
gard for names and slogans of
parties. The league has been the
subject of many Endorsements by or
CARNATIONS representing almost
every sort of interest and activity
commercial, industrial, economic,
civic and patriotic. In the member
ship of these organizations there
must have been men and women of
different and dissident political
views, but they seem to have been
one in their belief that the league
Of nations is an insurance against
war, and one also in their wish to
.sta blish it without delay.
Hostile senators may continue to
attract attention by their vocifereous
opposition, but their din is no
measure of the leagues popularity.
There are thousands-still silent
who will express themselves in a
voice Of thunder when they know
he time has come.

PrOds Parlor Proletarians.
They pirate a great deal about the
dictatorship of the proletariat. We
who have been more or less familiar
with the theories that have been pro-
mulgated by Marx and his assertion
of the dictatorship of the proletariat"
had interpreted the term to mean
that a majority of the workers of the
land would determine the policy Of
it and impose it upon the balance
Of our people, and our workers were
not willing to accept that kind Of a
principle.
They realized the long centuries Of
struggle there had been to secure the
franchise on the part Of the workers,
the clai:es that had been made that
they had no property to be taxed,
and having no property to be taxed
they should have no voice in imposing
the tax, and in addition to that they
had not developed enough, that they
had not sufficient intelligence to be
permitted to participate in the affairs
of state.
Would Mean AFFECT Slavery.
From the time that Moses led the
Isrealites out OF bondage in Egypt
until Lincoln issued his Emancipa-
ton Proclamation. the struggle Of the
masses has been to get away from
slavery, to get away from compulsory
labor; labor; and yet it is proposed
by this new form Of government to
reintroduce obligatory labor for the
