AMERICA WILL TAKE

 Dear Sir;-

Obstacles to BOlshevism
Duluth Herald.


 There is undue alarm about Bol- shevism in America. There are in- supsrabls obstacles in it's way.
 In the first place it is necessary, in order to bs Naximalist or Bol- shevist, to do something about tho middle class, which is wholly dis qualified to belong. The middle class" of course, means people that have g or more, that lead comfort .bls hslaS ives, shat figure on get ting into business for themselves some time, or at least on owning their own homes and having lit tie money in the bank after wrestling successfully with the cost of living and keeping the baby in shoes That is ts sey, the middle class" means about S5 GOO ,0e0 out of eur 108, ,0e0,- 600 people; tho balance inelHding a rather large handful sf "piutes- shsrt for the "risA''-bat mostly ua- fsrtunates called the "profetariae" 1 As we have said, in order ts be . 1 regular Bolshevist . follow must do something about the middle class. As Americans are entirely toe ami able to kill thsur-besides, they arc SO many that it might b. dangerous to try it--about all there is left to dc ia to call them names. The accepted technical name for them is "bour- eeais"-"bourgeoisie" collectively As 8 fellow must in order to function as Bolshevist be able to pronounce these names, that lets most people out. You see, the obstacles to Bol- shevism in America are insuperable so it is foolish to worry about it.

FIRST STEAM FERRY

The first stem ferry in the world made its maiden trip between New York and Hoboken 107 years ago. The craft was the invention of John Stevens, a pioneer in many inven. tions and the father of the United States patent system. He invented the first condensing, double-acting engine ever built in America.

SILVER AND GOLD
 IN COSTA RIGA

The second industry of importance in Costa Rica is that of gold and silver mining on the Pacific slope. The mines vary in size and give dir 'ect employment to approximately 12,000 men.

Sonal preference or the exlgencieS or
the factory. :,
And it is our hope that presently
we shall have stenographers who
ought to be stenographers and lathe
men who ought to be lathemen, with
nowhere in the establishment metal
worker who would do better or be
happier at wood working or an out
side man who ought to be inside. We
are trying to get strong men for the
heavy jobs and to give those less
muscular light work to do.
I'VE don't believe we shall need
Binet tests or Bertillon measurements
in order to accomplish these results;
it Is our conviction that we shall re-
quire only highly humanized relation
ships between employer and en-
ployed, highly trained intelligence
upon the part of foremen and depart
ment heads. fully established knowl-
edge in the workers minds that that
which they best can do is that which
we especially wish to have them do.
1.-The first requisites Of this are
highly trained foremen. anxious to
cooperate in the execution of the
general idea. We do not tell these
foremen that they must continue to
employ any man who tries job and
fails at it. 1t is quite conceivable
that some men exist who can find no
proper place for themselves in our
establishment, but we instruct our
foremen not to discharge any man
outright, but IL one is found unsatis-
factory at the work which he at
tempts at first, to return him to a
central department or bureau (shall
we call 1t the Job fitting room?).
where intelligent, studious industrial
experts talk with him and try to To-
cate him elsewhere in the organiza-
ton more satisfactorily. Every en-
ployer knows that good man lie an
asset. We are anxious to let no good
men slip through our fingers.
The danger which Is almost certain
to arise in an effort Of this sort Is
that of being too scientific. There
have been those who almost have de-
clared that men can be analysed by
chemical formula and, in accordance
with the reactions thus developed.
placed in exactly their right inches.
We assume this to be absurd. We
believe 1t fails to take proper cog
nixance Of the human element.
But we are quite certain that the
fact Of a mans failure in certain
Job Is no conclusive proof that he
would fail in some other equally use
full job. A personal antagonism be-
tween q workman and q foreman may
destroy the usefulness of that work.
man in that particular department
without proving in the least that he
might not be very useful elsewhere.
Men are the most important things
in any industrial enterprise. yet men
have been the indust rial ingredients
which have been studied least.
They are worth studying. That we
have proved already. We know that
studying them will bring results as
valuable as any which can be OBJ
tanned by study OF the inanimate mat
ter utilized in industry.
80 these are some Of the things
which we believe are the points to be
considered next after we have at
tended TO the primary desiderata:

congenial surroundings for all work.
ers, good, light, the best of tools,
cleanliness and orderliness and gen.
eral education in the preservation Of
this cleanliness and order.
1--WE have watched with q good deal
of interest various experiments which
have been made in so-called welfare
work. and have come to the con-
clusion that they do not tend to make
the worker happier or more efficient,
and therefore do not tend TO make
the affected enterprise more success
full.
l"Welfare work often destroys indi-
you destroy at the same time real
happiness and real efficiency, for ef-
ficiency and discomfort, even though
the discomfort be subsurface. will not
go together.
"Former Speaker Cannon OF the
House of Representatives, interviewed
by l.. White Busby for the Saturday
Evening Post some years ago, made
certain shrewd observations upon this
subject in connection with the ex-
periments, widely described as great
successes for a time, which were
made by the Pullman Palace Car
Company at Pullman, III.
"I have been told he said. that
the greatest ambition and the great
est disappointment Of George NJ. Pull
man was his model community at
Pullman. PhilaAthropists, welfare
workers, artists. publicists and COM
munists from all parts Of the world
visited Pullman and praised the wise
mingling Of business combination and
consideration Of the welfare Of the
workers which Mr. Pullman had de-
veloped. The best theatrical COM
panies were engaged for the theater,
the latest books and current litera-
for the schools. sanitary experts
looked after the streets and public
utilities, and Pullman was an artistic
realization Of Robert OWENS dream at
New Harmony: but 1t lacked one ele-
ment. The company owned the town.
The residents were denied that great
privilege Of American citixenship-
ownership Of the property they occu-
pied. They could not tear down or
rebuild; they could not mortgage or
trade: they could not engage In the
great game Of individual enterprise.
and soon there was dissatisfaction at
Pullman. Mr.. Pullman came to be
considered an overload instead Of q
philanthropist.'
similar efforts elsewhere have pro-
duced similarly unsatisfactory results,
no matter how well meant they may
have been. We have made up our
minds that that sort Of thing won't
do; we have not the slightest thoughs
that those who have experimental
