Mr.. Hillman called attention to-
the fact that when the State Board
of Mediation offered to mediate last
December it was the union which
welcomed the offer and the manu-
facturers who refused. Still earlier>
and before the break it was the
union which proposed a joint investi-
cation and the manufacturers who
refused and began the lockout.
Fourteen weeks Of struggle, he said,
have brought confusion to tie in
,dustry, but not to the union.

system is the last word in efficient
| methods of producing and distribut-
i ing wealth. How then can they act
when the decay of that system throws
millions upon millions out Of work,
creates q world Of misery and de-
spair and threatens to destroy what
little civilization still remains in
society? Mt
Tied by Reactionary Officials.
Even if the individual international
or local unions were so courageously
class-conscious that they wished to
take the necessary steps to do effec-
tive work in this unemployment mat
ter they would not be unable to act.
Tied down as they are by the reac-
tionary leaders of the A. +. of L.
any move they dared to make would
be Immediately blocked. Worse still
than this is the total ineffectiveness
Of craft organizations in such situa-
tions. The strike, the only Valuable
weapon organized labor has, is USE
less in this crisis. What chance of
success have few isolated strikes
when every employer can get ten
scabs to fill every place left open
! by each striker? As this is being
written the strike'of the stock yards
workers is being agitated and dis
cussed. Not one Of. the packers is
there but more or less secretly hopes
that the strike may be called now
so that in the battle the unions may
be broken and entirely destroyed.
Between the lines Of every capitalist
paper can be read the desire that
the strike be called. >.
Revolutionary Bodies of Unemployed.
The only effective measures that
can be taken is through the organiza-
tion of the unemployed themselves.
Such organizations can and must be
so led that they will take revolu-
tionary steps, make revolutionary
threats and demands. The workers
in other countries know what to do
when the same situation confronted
them. They organized into offensive
bodies, took over shut down factories,
siezed public buildings for living
quarters and carried a revolutionary
threat to governments and employers
who were taking advantage Of the
situation by attempting to crush the
labor movement. American trade
unions are incapable Of taking such
steps. II they are to be taken it
must be done by revolutionary or
CARNATIONS Of the unemployed.
The American Freedom Foundation
is encouraging and fostering the
organization Of such bodies. The
New Majority believes that in doing
so 1t is divorcing itself from the
labor movement. The opposite Is
true. The Foundation is becoming
ever closer to the labor movement
and is gaining the support Of more
and more labor organizations which
are more interested in advancing the
cause Of labor than in petty matters
Of Jurisdiction.
The Foundation is performing a
function that the trade unions ought
TO perform but cannot.

just the same as the big bank con-
trolls the small, ''irdependent" bust
ness man. Nominally such a country
may retain its freedom, but actual
ly it loses it, the more the foreign
debts increase. To protect these in
vestments in another country, the
lending nation is interested concern
ling the .arming Of the borrowing ma
tion and also the reliance Of its gen.
eral staff. So the weak and un-
developed countries become entirely
dependent on the rich and powerful,
they must obey the dictates of the
money lender or lose their support.
The alphabetically advanced nations
can and do command the undeveloped
to open up their land for cultiva-
tion and their natural resources for
exploitation, and so make a broad
field for investment Of its surplus
capital. Capital, invested in a country
with the idea to exploit the natural
resources becomes productive fac
tor, tending to develop also the labor
power of that land.
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1921-03-26
y GENERAL IDEA OF MODERN
CAPITALISM.

By modern capitalism is understood
the capitalism that does not practic,
the competitive policy in the home
market and industry. 1t is highly
centralized and concentrated. in the
few hands of the greatest banker;
or the banking institutions of those
billionaries. The banks, through theil
control of the money market OF
finances, also control the economic
life of the country. They have mon
opoly rights, or rather say-might
over all production and distribution
of commodities. Regardless of the
nominal existence of the small manu-
facturer and merchant, the control
over these is in the hands of the
monopolists. From two thirds to
three fourths of the country's wealth
is owned by five per cent. of the
population. But this is not all That
may convey the impression, that the
people, at least control the remain
ing twenty five per cent. Of the
wealth, and so can do with it what
they please. But even that is not the
case. Credit is the dominating fac
tor in modern business and that is
what decides everything.
p THE POWER OF CREDIT.
"Money makes money, don't keep
it idle, invest" That is the slogan
Of the bourgeoisie. If that is true
then the question now is: where and
how to invest. A man who owns a
small sum Of money, cannot invest
it in productive business himself. To
start up something, requires a large
sum. The medium of investment and
the medium of financing Of bust
ness enterprise is the bank. The
manner of depositing money in
bank has more than one form. One
can simply deposit money in a bank
and receive four or five per cent
interest on his deposit, or he can
buy shares in some industrial or
mercantile establishment, which will
pay higher interest. Both are forms
Of investment. The bank must use
this money so that it will bring the
expected interest to the depositor.
When. the bank makes loan it sees
that the loan is safe and also that
is will yield the highest possible re-
turn. This security and profit are
obtainable not only where the in
vsstment is safe, but necessitates q
close acquaintance and interest in
the conduct Of the business. As all
business enterprises depend upon
credit, whether large or small, the
credit institution is placed in po-
'sition where it can determine the
nature of and control over the busi-
ness world generally. They can re-
fuse credit to any business house and
ruin il quickly. The, so called, in
dependent concerns are not expected
from the domination of the banks
and SO, regardless where the invest
msnt Is made, It strengthens the grip
Of the banks over all business and
modern society generally.
The freedom" Of the small shop
keeper is as follows; he Is free to
do what the creditor tells him to
do, he must take his merchandise

CAPITALIST IMPERIALISM and COLONIAL POLICY.
A STUDY LESSON FOR WORKlNGMEN
BY MILNER.

from the wholesaler that the bank
tells him to patronize, he must sell
it for a price stipulated by the
wholesale house or by the bank, which
in turn. may own or control the
] Wholesale establishment. There are
two factors in modern business
which because Of their great coer.
sive powers and breath Of opera,
tion constitute the banks the SUI
preme arbiters and dictators of mod
ern society. The first being the i'm
possibility of the small fry to use
their savings independently, they must
go thru the bank. second-the ne
cessity Of credit, which can be OBJ
tained only thru the bank. The bank
is the dictator, let us see how it
works.
81 ORGANIZATION BY THE
BANK.
Modern manufacture is run on a
large scale. In the United States all
essential production is concentrated
in the hands of few trust magnates.
A few large banks control all the
productive life of the country. Any
newly organized concern must start
out on large scale; to do that it
must become dependent upon some
of the large banks. The promoters
of new corporations, in most cases
come from the banks themselves. An
announcement is issued of the capt.
alization Of the new corporation and
the fact of its being backed up by
well known bank; the price of the
shares stipulated and investors asked
to buy. The sum for which the new
concern is capitalized need not ne
cessarly represent real money, it is
enough to make such announcement,
and the interest must be paid on it,
although the principal exists only
on paper. The banks can also sub
scribe for the shares Of any con-
cern without actually providing the
cash. They issue all kinds of notes
and checks, in the name Of the bank,
and these are accepted in modern
business. What real mission the
banks perform is thus seen to be
the paving Of the way for tho in
vestment Of actual money in the
fields where real money is needed.
Naturally, from this flows the crea-
tion Of fictitious capital which adds to
the instability of the whole economic
structure. Another thing which fol-
lows from this is the change in the
character Of the country where the
banks have acquired such power.
From pacifist It becomes warlike.

~ FOREIGN FINANCIAL IN.
VESTMENTS.

Thru the creation Of the fictitious
money, capital accumulates in i'm
mense proportions and necessarily
must seek fields Of a highly remun-
erative nature. It's native country
alone cannot yield that profit. It
becomes imperative to seek outside
or foreign fields Of Investment.
Money goes out in the form Of loans
to foreign governments. Now the
question Of supervision. Of how these
loans are to be used, is manifestly
important. The lender takes control
Of the borrowing country politically,

81 FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN
KIND.


For the exploitation Of labor power
more than money is needed, especial
Ny to dot effectively. We must
distinguish between foreign invest
ments Of commodities and invest.
ments in productive capital. Com
modities exported to other countries
cannot be called investment of cap
ital but only export Of commodities.
The export Of capital now is in the
form of productive machinery, not
the things to be consumed, but used
in production Of things for consump-
tion. That necessitates the general
development of the country, most
important Of all being the means Of
transportation. This opens up large
fields for investment by the capital
istic country. Railroad building and
equipment is very expensive. Hun
dred of miles of rails, thousands Of
locomotives and cars, cost millions
Of dollars. They cannot be loaned
like thousand dollars in the home
country to a small business man,
under the condition: if he fails to
pay, the lender can sell him out and |
set his money. The case is different |
with an investment in foreign land. |
What is necessary to obtain, is q
concession or permit, to make that
investment, but over and above this
also a guaranty is necessary on the
principal and on the interest to be
paid on it. The country lending the
money, in order-to get better terms,
must show its might. II must de-
monstrate its power and drive out |
any intention Of the borrower to
violate any Of the agreements con.
cluded between the two. It also must
demonstrate its superior power to the
rivals for the same investments
These are the conditions that deter.
mine the character Of the modern
capitalist countries end make them
warlike, necessitating vast arm.
aments. II is not the will Of man but
the logic Of economic conditions that
determine the character Of the age.
