ions on the Canadian Pacific along
these lines. Union officials are quick
to permit reorganization for class col
laboration, but discover insuperable
barriers in the way of amalgamation
for class struggle. Boyer sneered at
naturalization Of railroads (Plumh
Plan). The four years term for inter
national president and more auto
cratic methods of disciplining the
membership are favored in order to
guarantee to the employers a continu-
Gus policy of collaboration. Boyer
indicated that it was only necessary
to win over 10 per cent of the mem
bership, the keymen, to the B. G o.
plan in order to put and maintain
this policy over the union.
If any worker is still doubtful as to
the meaning of the B. & o. plan, he
ought to listen to the selling talk
handed out to the employers by his
union officials and their economic ex-
perts. These schemes of so-called in
dustrial democracy are pictured to the
employer as an improvement on the
Taylor System, guaranteeing increas-
ed production by labor without the
old brutality which actually hampered
production. The best theoretical ex-
preston of the employers viewpoint
is to be found in an address, referred
to by one of the lecturers, reprinted
in the Bulletin Of the Taylor Society
of December, 1923. Robert G. Valen-
tine, the author of the address, de-
clared his complete agreement with
the principles of the Taylor System,
but opposed Taylor's application. He
desired to coordinate the Taylor
System with the vital economic and
social principles of private property,
state socialism and syndicalism. Tay-
lor overlooked two prime factors max
ing for efficiency in production. These
were ID the consent of the work
ers and (2) their self-organization and
discipline. For this reason co-opera-
ton with trade unions in instituting
plans for increased cheaper produc-
ton was superior to the open shop or
company union. Such cooperation
with his own organization kept the
worker satisfied and gave him the
feeling that he had equal power with
the employer. Valentine, therefore,
proposed to improve the Taylor Sys,
tenn by substituting the organized
consent Of the workers in place of
their individual consent and interfac-
tory consent in place Of factory con-
sent. It is this philosophy which I'M
derlies the pseudo industrial democ-
racy being peddled by the officials of
the Machinists' Union and of the en-
tire Gompers bureaucracy.

ton of employment, for instance
turned est to mean the manufacture
Of B. & o. locomotives in their own
shops, which had formerly been manu-
featured in outside shops. No more
work was created, no more men were
employed in the trade at large. Work
was simply taken away from one
group of men and given to another
Formerly the employers had trans.
ferred the manufacture of locomo.
tives, etc. from their own unionized
shops to outside shops working under
open-shop conditions because the cost
Of production was cheaper in these
unorganized shops. Now the unions
have guaranteed that their men would
turn out locomotives more cheaply,
i.e manufacture more product per
dollar of wages, than "scabs" in open
shops. The employers accordingly
have reversed the movement to the
place of greater profits and are again
manufacturing in their own union
shops. Boyer triumphantly pointed to
the secret Of success of his plan. 1t
was that collaboration with the ma
chinists' union to increase production
was proving more profitable to Presi-
dent Willard Of the B. & o. than the
company union scheme on the Penn
sylvania instituted by Atterbury.
Just what Beyer's alleged stabiliza-
ton Of employment really amounts
to can be best understood from a
story he relates with great satisfac-
ton. The men in a certain shop
working under the B. & o. agreement
were threatened with a "furlough" by
the management because of lack of
work. However, they were informed
that if they co-operated Loyalty and
drummed up more business for the
company they would be kept at work.
The men, accordingly, launched an
advertising campaign in the surround
ing towns, addressed Kiwanis and Ro-
tary meetings and gave exhibitions of
their shop to business men. They
succeeded in taking away business
from the Pennsylvania Line, and
made" more work for themselves at
the expense Of machinists in the Penn
sylvania shops.
Boyer and the union officials are
opposing every form of action to i'm
prove the conditions of the men which
might hamper their pet scheme of col
liberation. Boyer is against amalga-
nation because "the present form Of
union organization into three feder-
ated departments Transportation,

cheering point of view" Boyer is

FORM SOCIETY TO
IMPROVE ENGLISH
RUSS RELATIONS
To P rom o tie Cultural
intercourse
(By RosTA.)

MOSCOW.-The founders meeting
Of the Society for Cultural Relations
between the British Nation and the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
was recently held in London, under
the craftsmanship of Miss Davis, per
interim Chairman of the standing
committee. In her opening speech
Miss Davis expressed the hope that
by restoring the bands that had been
torn by years of war and revolution,
the new society could promote the
cause of social intercourse and the
Hottest aims of civilization.
A number of speakers followed,
among whom DIR. Polovtzeva, represen.
tative of the Russian Red Cross So
citey, told of the progress achieved
in the Union of S. S. R. in the field of
public health and also of the increase
of popular schools. The speaker also
submitted suggestions as to the best
means by which the West could get
acquainted with art and science in
the Union of Soviet Republics. Pro-
fessor Kryloff spoke of cultural rela-
tons between Russia and England,
while Mrs. Vengeroff, a woman writer,
made a survey of the development of
Soviet Russian literature in the post
war period.
Hobson for Close Relations.
The resolution on the foundation of
the society was moved by Mr.. Hobsor,
the well-known English economist,
and seconded by Mr.. Gorus and Mrs.
Ruth Frey. Mr.. Hobson remarked, in
the course of a brief address, that the
cause Of international intercourse can
be promoted not so much by political
or economic measures as thru assidu-
GUS study and understanding of other
nations psychology.
Professor Hobhouse, lecturer on
Sociology at the London University
College was elected President, and
Mr.. G. D. May, Secretary Of the Inter-
national Cooperative Union, Treas
urer Of the newly-founded society.
Among the members of the executive
committee were elected Miss L. Davis,
Mrs. Ruth Frey, Ashley Dukes, DR..
Polovtzeva, Mrs. Vengerova and 9TH
ers.

Ask Russian Archives Safety.

MOSCOW.-ln a telegram to Mr..
Herriot, the Peoples Commissar of
Foreign Affairs, Mr.. Chicherin, ex-
presses the hope that the French gov
eminent adopt the necessary measures
for preventing the imminent danger
of illegal seizure and robbing of the
archives Of the former Russian EN-
bassy in Paris.
Replying today, the French premier
informs the Soviet government that
he will take up this question of the
Russian Embassy upon his return to
Paris, and that meanwhile he has
already given orders that the question
be gone into and regulated in &C
cordance with. the rulings Of interna.
tional law.

hensiye as to the growing dis
satisfaction among the men on
the B. & o. lines. He seemed
particularly nervous because
the fate of his negotiations with
the Seaboard and Canadian National
Railways relative to instituting the
same scheme of collaboration on
these lines hangs upon the decision of
the coming convention in Detroit.
He made bitter attack on the Com
munists for supplying leadership to
the dissatisfaction of the rank and
file.
However, we don't fear these Com
munists," he continued, they cannot
cause trouble. What we fear is the
mass Of ordinary workmen who join
a union because it promises to get
them more wages and better condi-
tions. We cannot enthuse or in
trigue these men into this for any
length Of time. We must be able to
show that the B. & o. program will
yield them concrete benefits. This
plan has already resulted in stabil-
cation of employment, effective ma
chinery for settling grievances and
welfare work. But the question of
more wages is now being discussed
by the men and is bound to cause
trouble. We have as yet been able
to find no solution for this difficult
problem Of wages. The B. & o. Rail-
road has increased its profits to the
extent Of $4,000 in the nut and bolt
department alone. The company will
be able to pay its dividends and that
is a good thing. The men have been
given to understand that they were to
share with their employers the fruits
of increased production. We will have
to show the worker that he is bene-
fitted not so much by higher wages
per hour as by more work per year.
If we weren't working under the
wage system it would be much simp-
Ter to put the B. & o. program thru.
However, we haven't run out of things
to tell the workers and keep them sat
isfed"-presumably up to convention
time.
Various lectures during the week
developed the philosophy of labor's
responsibility for increased produc-
ton. Their selling talk to the work
ers consisted of phrases like work
ers' participation in the management
of production, higher wages thru in
creased production" sterilization of
employment" etc. When analysed it
was discovered that these phrases
were empty and fraudulent. Stabiliza-
