RADICAL DEFECT IN
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM is
CAUSE OF SLACK WORK
BY MARTIN A. DILLMoN.

Nv MAX A I1lllLAONs
We hold these truths to be self
evident that all men are created equal
and are endowed by their Creator
with certain inherent and inalienable
rights. among these are the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit OF happi-
ness"
Have the foregoing words In the
preamble of the Declaration of indie
pendence lost their significance
There are. according TO statistics,
nearly 10000 unemployed in the
United States at the present time.
Have these people been deprived OF
their inherent and alienable right to
live? Just what Is our government
doing, is II making any effort TO place
responsibility for the fact of seven
millions of hungry. jobless working
men walking the streets OF this land
of plenty? Surely there must be
something wrong; there must be guilt
somewhere. Is there not a radical
defect in an industrial system that
denies seven millions of men the right
OF earn livelihood for themselves and
their families?
To the intelligent mind II is quite
evident that the present order Of
things must be supplanted by a more
equitable arrangement. The workers
must have some control over their
Jobs. IL liz entirely wrong and unjust
to place dictalorial control of nearly
all of the gainful occupations in the
hands of q small group of industrial
captains with power to declare just
when the workingmen may and may
not be permitted to earn living;
