CIRCULATION1Q Q07
YESTERDAY lO,OUi
Non-Returnable
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-08-20

The reason why the bosses can control
these organizations is clear. Usually when their
are elections they are conducted under the
direction of the management Of the shop. There
are enough willing tools Of the bosses in every
shop so that committee satisfactory to the
bosses can be elected Furthermore, if aggres-
sive workers are elected, they are usually
afraid to take any action contrary to the wishes
of the management. They know that they have
been elected by instructions from the bosses,
that the whole proposition came down from
above, and that there is no soidly organized
body of workers behind them, and consequently
they are afraid to take any independent action
for fear of losing their jobs.
In practically every instance where such
industrial democracy" has been established
it has proven worse for the workers than if i.
did not exist By clever manipulation the bos-
ses can always get these committees or other
to make rules which are harsher than those
the bosses could make on their own account,
and if their is complaint, the workers are told
that they themselves are responsible for these
rules.
The workers should boycott shop organiza-
tion and shop committees which the bosses offer
them as gift Such organizations only fasten
the chains of wage slavery tighter. They play
the bosses game and that is the reason they
are organized.
In place of this fraudulent industrial de-
mocracy" from above, the workers must in
dependently create their own shop organiza-
tions and shop committees The first thing 10

Workers Shop Committees Us.
Bosses Committees

The smartest among the capitalists who own
the industries are beginning to understand that
the time when they can act as czars and kaisers
in their factories is gone. They see that some
thing new is on the way-that the workers are
going to have voice in the management of the
shops and factories.
These capitalists have come to the con-
clusion that their is no use trying to openly
fight the workers movement toward industrial
democracy control Of the shops by the work
ers and for the workers. But that does not mean
that they are going to give in and let the work
ers take control. Since in an open fight they
are bound to lose they are trying the trick of
seeming TO give the workers what they want
without any fight. At the same time that they
seemingly are making their surrender, they
manage to trick the workers into maintaining
the same old system
This is what the shop organizations and
shop committees which are being organized un-
der the direction of the bosses mean There are
now hundreds of industrial plants in which
the bosses have given the workers some sort
part in the management through committees
or some other organization within the plant
There are number of concerns that have
houses representatives, senates and cabinets
organized within the plant, all for the purpose
OF making the workers believe that they really
have something to say in running the insti-
tuition.
This industrial democracy which the
bosses hand the workers as gift is fraud. In
all such organizations there are strings tied
to the proposition or the thing is so organized
that the bosses are able TO keep control

JUDGE X. e. LEIGHTON
III, MARRIED HIS FIRST COUPLE
A. JOhannsen. Prominent Banker, and
Henrietta MatsOn We're Married
in Record Breaking Time Tues
day Morning.

Judge X. E. Leighton united in mar
riage A. Johannsen, of Bismarck, and
Henrietta Matson Of this city at the
Judges chambers in District court at
$3.50 o'clock Tuesday morning
Attic Judge Leighton has held his
dignified position for nearly eight
years, this was the first time that he
has been called upon to unite couple
in marriage. The Judge appeared q
trifle more nervous than the groom, In
fact the Judge was SO frustrated over
his first offense that he neglected to
kiss the bride. The couple appeared
at the chambers and notified the
Judge that they had just five minutes
to catch the Bismarck Cannonball Ex-
press. The Judge called Jack Coyle,
the accommodating attorney, and Miss
Mabel Hovda for witnesses. The con-
tracing parties did not bother to re-
move their winter wraps and the whole
affair was over in just ten seconds by
Coyle's stop watch.
Mr.. Johannsen resided in Minot for
a number of years when he was as
sOciated with the Second National
Bank. He was state bank examiner
for five years and is now one Of the
chief state bankers, in charge of the
Bank of North Dakota at Bismarck.
He is member of the Minot Lodge
of Elks, No. 1889, and is an all around
good fellow. The bride is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. c. H. Rudd of this city
and both have host of friends who
extend fluctuations.
