Industrial democracy is fast becom-
ing one of the foremost issues before
the American public. It is being ad-
vanced by many leading thinkers as
the only logical solution of the labor
problem.
It is being recognized as the way
out of the present chaos into the val
ley Of peace by Americas leading me-
chanical engineers, among them Fred
J. Miller, president Of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, who
declares that the old driver methods
Of industrial management, will no
longer do.
'"There are those who for 10 years
or more have recognized and have de-
clared their conviction that the indus
trial world has been passing through

period Of adjustment, and it behooves
us all to keep in mind that our sue

This is the opening statement, in
advocacy of industrial democracy, of

lean Society of Engineers, in an ar.
ticle Of series to be published in it's

expressed BY President Miller:
1.-THE old driver method of indus
trial management will no longer do.
The workers Of every country who
participated In tho war have acquired
by that participation a new status.
Many Of the Industrial difficulties of
the present day are due to the resist
ance Of workers everywhere to being
forced back to their former inferior
status. They are insisting that IL they
are good enough to place their lives at
the disposal Of the forces Of civiliz-

some voice in determining the manner

EUROPE EXPECTS

OF ALIENS HERE
Whole Races Of People Prepare
to Emigrate to U. 5. According g
to immigration Official.

Whole races Of Europe are prepared
to emigrate to the United States.
Never since the early days of barbar-
ian Europe has there been such
wholesale migration of population as
that which is now in contemplation,
with the United States as the destina-
ton. This startling statement was
made by y. A. Wallis, commissioner
Of immigration at Ellis Island last
week.
Commissioner Wallis declared that
Italy is preparing to send 5000, 900
persons to America, and that S,000,O 900
people are prepared to move out of
Germany into the United States.
Hordes are preparing to move and
already are moving from the newly
ope.
"The tide is now surging in this d.
rection," said Wallis. "and every
steamship arriving here is overladen
with steerage passengers. Bookings
for steerage passage is engaged for d
year ahead. The immigration of pre-
vious years is as nothing compared to
the tide now heading for our shores.
Zone of the dangers confronting the
u. S. is the evident effort on the part
Of different countries to foist their
undesirable elements on this country.
Commissioner Wallis said that while
he knew Of no concerted effort among
the different nations to dump unde-
sirables upon this country, there was
evidence Of concerted movement
among officials Of the separate coun-
tries to effect this purpose. He called
especial attention to the danger of
the congestion Of these immigrants in
the large cities and insisted it would
be wise for the government to desig-
nate where the immigrants should go

Agricultural regions. = - - -

GRAFTON Of labor was appointed COM
mittee to Investigate various alleged
cooperative societies that are spring.
ing up in this vicinity.
One of these movements was re-
ported as consisting Of three persons
who control the society, with the
membership having no voice. Lurid
literature is depended upon to keep
this feature from the public.
Trade unionists insist that the
Rochdale system is the only cooper
ative plan. Under this system stock
holders have a voice, with the holder
of one share of stock on an equal foot
ing with the holder of 10 or 100
shares. Goods are sold at the prevail
ing market price and after expenses
are deducted the surplus is returned
to the stockholders on the basis Of the
amount Of money spent at the coop
erative store.
This system differs from usual
business practice. in that the surplus Is
not divided on the basis Of stock held.
but in proportion to the loyalty OF
stockholders to the cooperative move
ment.

It does not look very promising for

ing workingmen's compensation, and
inquiring into the operation Of the
several acts now in force in the United
States has tentatively agreed on a.
plan for state industrial commission.
Such a commission would assume

arising out Of the present act as it may
be amended at the next session. The
commission favors change from the
present Court system to the "com-
mission" plan. It will not favor state
insurance
Four. Of the five members Of the
committee in the 1919 session favored
a state insurance fund and voted for
the bill which passed the house but
was defeated in the senate. They now
declare that their study Of: one year

Disappointing Results Reported

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Wise men
who pose as railroad authority made
a bad guess in urging increased freight
rates, which became effective last Au-
gust. It was claimed by these oracles
that higher rates would make it pos
sible to pay per cent to stockholders,
and provided by the Cummings-Esch
railroad bill.
It is now shown that during septem-
Der tho first full month Of high rates,
the railroads fell $29343.000. or $50
per cent short Of tho amount of reve.
nue. expected Of them. The roads
should have a net income of $685.
100000.
These figures were made public by
the bureau Of railway economics and
are based upon reports from 2o7 class

Of the roads for September was $79.-
