resistible. It IS a power greater than
a thousand Niagaras. Labor should
strive to unleash this force wherever
possible.
A trade unionist alert to the patient
work necessary to develop a solid
public opinion in a just cause; who
knows the forces that would thwart
one who would enter this field, and
who doggedly sets himself to that
task is an effective foe to privilege
and greed.
That trade unionist can not be dis
couraged. He knows his progress
will be slow, but when public opinion
is finally aroused, his reward will be
correspondingly great.
Trade unionists should distinguish
between the policies of the privilege
hunter, partisan spokesman and office
seeker from politics in its profound
sense.
Politics should be the art of govern
ment, and government should assure
equal justice to all.
As we receive from our trade I'M
ions only in proportion to the energy
and intelligence we put into them, so
will we receive from government
those values that our character and
intelligence on the political field
justify.

OUR DYNAMIC MOVEMENT

The trade union movement is con-
scious effort to realize human aspira-
ton for opportunities for better lv-
ing. 1t is something more than econo-
mic standards which it endeavors to
establish. Economic benefits-higher
wages, shorter workday, better work
ing conditions-are simply the agen-
cies to reach the goal of higher better
living. To understand the trade union
movement one must know it has its
springs in the spiritual energy of
human beings, that it ramifies all
their relations in life. Many mistake
the tools of the labor movement for
the thing itself. Its goal is not the
trade agreement but higher and better
life.
In all of its conscious activity it is
seeking order that there may be a
better adjustment of human and ma
terial relations. Order is primarily
sequence--not a formula, not static
crystalized convention to warp the
human staff of life.
What the labor movement is seek
ing in industrial production is an in
dustrial order that will establish OPP
portunity for the workman to know
the joy of creating commodity that
is the product of the skill of hand anG
mind-an order so flexible that il it
adjusts itself to scientific laws Of
production and the needs of changes
that come in production needs, and yet
ever guides itself by that Fundamental
principle which is its lodestone-the
distinguishing characteristic of the
human is his ability to make use of
past experience and knowledge.
The labor movement is primarily
dynamic-it must function, it must
secure action, or it dies. We cannot
reduce this life stuff to code. But
we can recognize the fundamental
principles of sequence which will
bring into action an industrial order
and give that order a chance to
function. No need to superimpose an
industrial code, with courts, lawyers,
judges which will try to crowd life
into predetermined conventions and to
amputate whatever does not conform.
Codes, laws, and the political, are
born of neutrality-suspicious.. An
industrial order must be based upon
natural law and science, squaring each
separate decision upon achievement
as the standard, and service of better
ment of human life as the goal.

but it is local overhead. and goes into
the common local wealth. Fine stores,
service, and civic improvements are
all expenses that general industry
must bear; but we all participate in
these advantages, when they are local.
1t is the outside forsed selling which
makes the vide spread between pro-
duction and last selling price. This
is the great load the wage Garner
must carry. When the salesman's
commissions drop, the producers
wages are forced down to make up
the deficit. II the nine million pro-
dueers worked for no pay, the con-
sumner would benefit but little.
With only % per cent Of those en-
gagged in industry, in production work,
ana IS per cent in distributing and
selling, the slogan must be Quantity"
not Quality production. That
forces quantity, not quality selling
and buying. The wage Garner bears
must Of this load. His work Of day,
when translated into his needs, re-
quires his earnings for a month. He
is the source of the Industrial River,
therefore, the small part Of the
Stream, though perhaps, the clearer,
purer part Of it. A criticism is Of no
value unless constructive. The Pro-
ductiOn end Of Industry must receive
return equal to its economic i'm
portance, or the Stream will dry at its
source. Quantity Production at the
expense of quality, will impoyerish the
world because of its expensive estab-
lishment and transient uses. The
world needs more workers in intrinsic
values, and less at obtaining profits.

POLITICAL ACTIVITY is TEST OF
CITIZENSHIP

Behind a nations laws is the
character and intelligence of its peo-
pie.
One of organized labor's functions
is to develop the nations social char
acter and to diffuse knowledge that
will aid this purpose. 1t is necessary,
therefore, that trade unionists be con-
stantly engaged in activity and agita-
ton on the political field as well as
the industrial field.
Wrongs that are buttressed by
privilege will not disappear on the
passage of resolution. The collective
mind can not be changed that quick
ly. Wrong must be attacked continu-
ously until the conscience of the peo-
pie is quickened and the evil disap-
pears.
In this process one election is but
part of labor's campaign.
Results are not based on the num-
Der of candidates that labor elects.
A more important gain, and which
can not be computed, is the stimulus
to justice through labor's vigorous
canvas for support of its principles
and its appeal to the intelligence of
the electorate.
The present agitation against gov
eminent by injunction illustrates this
point. More people are acquainted
with the injunction evil than ever be-
fore because of labor's challenge to
and expose of the Wilkerson writ.
Trade unionists should avoid crude
cynicism and cheap intellectualism on
the uselessness of political activity
These people affect "smart" pose.
They would discourage political agita-
ton and leave a clear field for the
agents of reaction and administration
coercion.
There can be no progress through
this philosophy of depression, mega
ton and do-nothing.
An intelligent public opinion is ir-

IMMIGRATION
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Preparations are being made to
amend the immigration Act by attack
ing the literacy test. 1t is now pro-
posed that intending immigrants shall
be given the psychological test of the
army instead of the literacy test. The
object is to permit all able bodied inn
migrants to come to America whether
they can read and write or not.
The wages of unskilled labor have
always been controlled by a gentle
mems agreement or community of in
terest between the big corporations
and railroads. The first attack on
the wages of the railroad employees
was directed to those of the mainten-
ance of way workers, the lowest paid
labor on the railroads. This aroused
so much indignation that the Railroad
Labor Board has been forced to con-
slider an increase in wages. But these
increases are opposed by the big cor
porations. Therefore they have be-
gun an underground scheme to amend
the immigration act in order that the
country can be flooded with unskilled
labor and the big corporations and
railroads can more effectively carry
out their gentlemen's agreement to
keep the wages of the unskllled work
ers at the existence point.
The present three per cent act does
not expire until June 80, 1924, but
the evident hurry to amend the law
during the short session has created
the belief that whatever change is
made will be to the detriment of the
wage earners of our country. The fact
that it is not necessary to consider
any changes whatever by this Con-
greSs is considered evidence that the
object of the big corporations and
railroads is to break down the inn
migration act while the reactionaries
are in control of that body. 1t is
feared that the next Congress win not
be so responsive to their demands.

WHO BEARS THE LOAD?


"a criticism of existing economic
conditions, contributed by a Review
reader.)
Recently compiled statistics show
that Of thirty-fve million people en-
gagged in gainful occupations in the
United States, nine million work Tor
wages, and twenty-siX million for
profits and commissions. These statis-
tics also show that the wage earners
are the production end of industry,
and the profit and commission work
ers. are the distribution end. This is
almost a ratio of three to one: One to
produce, three to distribute.
No reasonable person will believe
that this covers the economic situa-
ton in this, our complicated industrial
civilization. Nearer the truth is this
statement; "Of the twenty-six million
engaged in so called distribution, the
largest number is engaged in forced
selling"
Pick up any newspaper, turn to the
want ad columns, you will find about
1850 of help wanted" notices are for
statesmen, statesmen to force a market
for things you never heard of and do
not need, as well as for things you
must have; high-powered statesmen,
trained by a high-salaried salesman
ager to go out and get the money.
Who pays for all this so-called
distribution? A nice young man
comes along and sells you something
for a dollar that has but an intrinsic
(production) value of ten cents; the
extra ninety cents is for his expenses
and commission. Travelling first class,
living in good hotels, aud putting up
a front, costs money. You may say,
well! That makes a demand on pro-
suction, why should the wage earn
ers kick ?" They kick for this rea-
son; They, you, every consumer pays
a proportion for their collective ex
travagance and foolishness; but the
wage-earner pays the most in ratio to
his earnings. He receives about 10
per cent of the total earnings of in
dustry as wages, but he "caughs up"
the extra 90 per cent for all he buys.
Every day you hear this complaint:

in good hotels, and never soil their
hands doing it?

CHASING THE WAR PRoFITEERs

At a recent meeting Of the Ameri-
can Legion of Indiana, Alvin NJ. Gus
ley IAN official of the national organ
ization, delivered an address in which
he took occasion to castigate the war
profiiteers, complaining at the same
time of the slow methods of the So
called department of justice in bring
ing those offenders against the NOR
ais of the nation to justice.
He declared that out of l50,O0O war
contracts only 1900 had been aud
tied and that but a small amount OF
the vast sums so far shown to be due
the government had been collected,
and in illustrating the difference In
the attitude of the government toward
the profiteer and the soldier he said:
The war department sold D.
560,666 pounds of roast beef,
which cost 43.8 cents pound,
for 1.6 cents, the government
standing a loss of $2,392,948.05.
While one private soldier in the
service of his country served over
a year in the penitentiary for the
theft of a single can of beans
government beans, mind YOU
men who defrauded the govern
ment of millions of dollars in the
great national crisis, still walk
our streets in liberty and pros
perity. This is a condition the
American Legion will no longer
tolerate.
To these sentiments every lover of
Justice will say, "Amen;" but we do
not seem to be at all successful in
arousing to action those who have
charge of the machinery of justice.
Whether their failure to move is due
to laziness, indifference or COLLISION,
the result is the same-the thieves are
unpublished and the plumber goes ON.
About all with which the present
administration can be credited is that
of assisting the deflaters and the
bosses in the labor market in reducing
the earning and consuming power of
the masses, so that they will be COM
PEELED to bend their knees and beg
for mercy before the autocrats who
have rented the government at Wash
ington until March A, 1925, and we
opine, if Mr.. Ousley expects to get
very far with the business of thief
determination, that he will have 20
wait for the campaign of 1924.

A., B. & A. COUNSEL
DENY MOVEMENT
TO JUNK SYSTEM

No movement is on foot to junk
the Atlanta, Birmingham & Allan
tic railroad, it was explained Satur-
day by the lawyers in connection
with foreclosure bills filed in the
United States district court by two
sets of bondholders.
These foreclosures, it was explain
ed, are a routine procedure required
by law. The object of the procedure
is to consolidate the claims of all
bondholders in one court case, and
put all their interests in charge OF
one receiver. The procedure is FOL
lowed in every receivership where
the interests of more than one cred
itor, or one set of erediSors, are in
volved.
To Junk the road, it was explain
ed, the consent of the Interstate COM
merce commission would have to be
obtained, after public hearing. IT
the consent Of that body were OBJ
tanned, it would then be necessary to
show the court that the interests
of the owners, of the bondholders
and of the public would be best
served by iunking the road.
Junking the road. the lawyers
further explained, would be against
the interests of the. bondholders,
and hence there is 10 likelihood OF
an effort by them to have it junked.
Colonel 3. L Bugg was appointed
receiver by Judge S:bley a year ago
at the instance of the BIRMINGHAM
Trust and Savings company. 1t has
| 1c,Io of
to the road on promissory note Sc
cured by $125,00O of bonds which are
part of an issue of 100000 to the
Equitable Trust, company.
In it's petition the Birmingham
| company asked that the bondholders
be allowed to come in as parties,
which the court granted. They did
| not come in voluntarily, so the Biz
mingham company last December
petitioned the court to require them
to come in and present their claims,
and Judge Sibley issued an order to
that effect.
Pursuant to that order, the OLD
Colony Trust company, which has
| $4,000, 900 of bonds, and the Column
bia Trust company, which has $5,-
! 900 900 of bonds. filed their bills OF
foreclosure on Saturday.
The Equitable Trust company
which has bonds of 100000, did not
file it's foreclosure bill Saturday, SO
Judge Sibley made it a party to the
consolidation, and gave it two weeks
in which to file its bill.
! Thus all claims Of bondholders
and of the Birmingham Trust &
Savings company, as creditor, Sc
cured by bonds, have been console
dated in one case, and Colonel Buge
as receiver is now in charge of the
interests of all.
The operation of the road under
his receivership will continue until
further order of the court. 1t was
understood Saturday that the reve
nue. of the road has recently been
picking up considerably, and that
there is hope of the road paying ex
penses of operation in the near flu
ture.
Eventually, of course, the road
will be sold. but that it will be solo
! for junk does not seem within the
realm of possibility, since every
body's interests, including those Of
the public served by the road, would
suffer by that sort of liquidation
and nobody's interests would be
benefited.
1t was limited that an effort ma!
be made to form an operating com
pany by reorganization, in which
the bondholders and stakeholder,
would share ,equitably.

4, FL. SUSPICIOUS
Of SUBSIDY BILL

WASHINGTON, March II. -
"Strikebreaking" clauses are con-
tafned in the administration ship
subsidy bill, the American Fedora
ton of Labor believes.
This is one Of the compelling rea-
sons why that organization is fight
ing the. measure, it became known
today.
In going on record against the
bill, particularly the merchant ma
rine naval reserve provisions, the
legislative council has made the first
move on the way to the fall con-
gressional elections. it was said.
1t is contended that the provisions
which would set UP merchant ma
rine naval reserve are in reality the
provisions for an organization
against union seamen, or, in other
words, a government strikebreaklng
agency.
Legislative interference with in
dustrial relations is unWelcome'
leaders declare, and their opposition
extends even to antitrust laws. In
general the activity of the leg1sla-
tive COunC1l LOT Lne COIlI11lS lhlOiAIAt7
will be toward obtaining only such
laws as will open the road to In
creasing industrial freedom.
In drawing up it's appraisal OF
candidates in the coming fall cleo
tions, organized labor is expected to
lay great stress upon their records
along these lines.
The council has also gone on rec
ord as favoring a policy of perma-
nent exclusion with regard to i'm
migration. At present the exclu'
sion act is in operation for one year.
The fear of the legislative commit
tee, it was said, lies in the likeli-
hood of congress being out of ses-
sion when the act expires. Increas-
ed immigration, producing unstable
employment conditions in America,
would then result, council members
i
