A Morgan Library

]. P. Morgan has made the announcement
that he has turned over his fathers library
estimated at $7,000,000 to board of trustees
composed of his family and two others who
are to maintain it fer the use of scholars from
all parts Of the world. With the library goes
an endowment of $1,500,000.
Use of the library will be limited to "schoI-
ars' The public cannot be trusted with the
manuscripts on which the late financial agent
of the British government and the Vatican and
the overload of American business spent part
of the fortune wrung out of the sweat and
blood of the American working class. Per-
haps the workers might learn something detri-
mental to the system which enabled Mr.. Nor
gan to accumulate priceless treasures while the
millions starved mentally as well as physically.
Morgan will be extolled by the fuglemen of
big business for his public spirit" and Civic
consciousness" But this gesture of generosity
is only sop to divert the attention of the
workers in those days Of glazing corruption
from the big robbers in Wall Street to their
errand boys in Washington.

Industrial Democracy

We are indebted to the well-known organ
of New York and New England tinanclers,
Barron's Weekly, for telling us the whole
truth and nothing but the truth about the sun
dry schemes of employee ownership and profit
sharing so vigorously advocated by the Gull
tured and unlettered apologists OF the capital
ist system
In a rather frank editorial discussing the
fact that 65 per cent of the employees OF the
Columbia Gas & Electric Company own $780,
500 shares, Barron's Weekly points out few
of the incalcuable advantages to the employ
ing class thru this clever arrangement
The editor lets the cat out of the bag in
this fashion. First of all these employees do
not own "any such percentage $500 OF the
capital stock" Translated into every day
English this means that the majority of the
employees are not permitted to own the ma
iority of the stock. The advantage sought for
by the capitalists in this deal is disclosed by
harrons Weekly in the frank confession that
'the incentive to good service is obvious
This is a concise way of telling us that this
fake stock ownership scheme pays the CAPT
talists because it ties the workers more hope
lessly to plants they do not own.
Especially illuminating is the statement
lit is clear that the remaining 80 per cent OF
employees represent the corporations casual
and unskilled labor" No doubt this is at least
as true as the other evidence submitted by this
financial expert No one would expect the
machine Iaborers, the least skilled workers
who are invariably the lowest paid employees,
to be able to put aside any money for invest
ing in the stock of their bosses. These work
ers have the time of their life making both
ends meet. 1t is plain that one of the out
standing advantages of "employe ownership
is the further intensifcation of the differences
and conflicts arising between skilled and I'M
skilled workers. In this respect all schemes
of industrial democracy and proft-sharing
tend to divide the workers and to increase dis
sension in their ranks.
Perhaps the best revelation yet of the frau
dulent character of all industrial democracy
schemes under capitalism is given by the edi-
tor in his statement that the workers invest
ing in this stock "are connoisseurs of the prod
uct and would be the last people in the world
to subscribe to policy of counting noses.
There is no better democracy than this, be-
cause it secures its true rights and recognizes
its own limitations"
Barron's Weekly halls this adventure as the
best solution for industrial conflicts and de-
scribes it as full proof so far as the demogogue
is concerned. We welcome this conclusion.
We are especially thankful to this oracle of
high finance for unmaskng this oft repeated
attempt to blind the workers and condemn
them to the present system of exploitation and
degradation.

Capitalism and the Home

Writing in the Berlin Mittagzeitung, one
Fraulein Bittner points out that "matrimony
in Germany has degenerated into mere ex-
change of financial references and an inspec-
ton of the home the woman can offer" "The
marrying game in Germany" the writer con-
tinues "has become parody on love, but it
is tragic parody after all. tits pity to see
the young man flee from his natural compan-
ion in life and rush into the arms of woman
with furnished fiat"
In England, with an estimated surplus of
100000 women since the war thinned the
ranks of the men, marriage is now undertaken
by the male, as rule, only when the bride-to-
be can bring relief from the struggle for a
livelihood
In France marriages for convenience have
been an established custom for long time
and the war has increased the prediction for
these alliances.
The scarcity of eligible males and the sever
ity of the economic struggle in the three coun-
tries mentioned is paralelled in every central
and western European nation.
The one sure-fire method of arousing enmity
towards the movement for the abolition of
capitalism has been to picture capitalism as
the founder and upholder of homogeneous
marriage based on love, as the defender OF
the sanctity of the home against the support
ers of revolutionary programs, VINO nave
proved that marriage, like other institutions
adapts itself to the prevailing form Of pro-
duction and that homogeneous marriage is prl-
vate propertys particular arrangement for
the marital relationship.
No one will question the statement that in
Europe-the birthplace of capitalism-the
love motive as the basis of marriage has been
almost eliminated.
Actual marriage compliance with the re-
ligious or legal forms-is probably the excep-
ton rather than the rule in industrial centers
unless one of the parties is economically indie
pendent. Home as a corollary Of marriage
has lost its meaning for millions and millions
of workers.
In the examples cited above the males
marry, not the females with whom they agree
to live, but the property that the females
possess.
In well-to-do circles this has long been the
custom; custom more or less ignored thru
conspiracy of the press and pulpit. The
Acknowledgement that it has now been recog-
nized as a fact in the lives of masses, is caus-
ing widespread alarm among the self-appolnt-
ed guardians of the morals of the poor, adds
weighty proof to the contention of the Com
munists that capitalism, bankrupt economic
ally and politically, is also bankrupt IN all
avenues of activity-legal, social, and ethical

Black DenUer Post
Pot S hooks the
N. Y. Times Kettle

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-The SEN
ate committees exposure of the un-
sayory affairs of the Denver Post and
its editor, Bonfls, connected with
the oil scandal, has had peculiar
echo in New York journalism.
AT public meeting of the Foreign
Policy Association here last week, the
editor of the New York Times,
Adolph Ochs. spoke effusively of the
high moral standards maintained by
the American, as contrasted with the
European press. American news
papers, he declared, are immune to
temptations of bribery, to which
European journals frequently sue
cumb.
The Denver Post disclosure, fol-
lowing upon the Times editors
eulogy, placed this dignified New
York organ in an uncomfortable posi-
ton. The Times is now obliged to
admit, editorially, that the senate
revelations of corruption in a section
Of the American press, are "both
plain and damaging"
It is interesting to observe the
moral which the Times draws from
this little experience. The great
New York daily has nothing TO say
concerning the cesspool in which a
reputable" American paper is shown
TO have wallowed. The Times is
shocked and panied at this "rehec-
ton upon the Denver editors intelli-
gence," meaning, of course, that
Ochsian morality can overlook every
thing except the objectionable sin Of
being caught with the goods.

Join the Workers Party.
Black Shirt Democracy

Now and then the ruling class and its agents
slip up and allow the mask to fall OH their
vain pretensions to democracy. whenever
the class conflicts become acute the employers
frankly and openly throw overheard all their
hypocritical prayers and paeans for rule by
majority.
It appears that the rise of the British Labor
Party. despite its program of caution and mod
Grafton, is causing some far-sighted English
capitalists quite bit of concern. Already we
are face to face with plans for an organization
of the British capitalists along the lines of
Italian Fascism.
1t is natural, of course, for the privileged
classes of all countries to organize and tight
for the defense of their vested interests and
the perpetuation of their privileges. But what
is especially important about the new man
euvers of the English Fascist is their open,
avowed intentions to crush the labor move
ment once any working class political party
should win majority of the working popula-
ton to it's program.
The English Fascist are Boosting that they
do not worry about the present situation be-
cause the Labor Party is not yet a majority
Party At the same time they are bazoning
on high that they will put the Labor Party in
its place once the day arrives when social
ism may possess working majority in parlia-
ment"
Anglo-Saxon democracy? What of the
great inherent love for constitutional methods
with which the English people are supposed
to be born? What of the almost biological
revusion to violence that we have so often
been told the Anglo-Saxons are blessed with
by the heavenly powers above?
The threat Of the English Fascist to ride
rough-shod over the working class once it be-
comes conscious of its being the majority and
proceeds to act as such politically, reveals the
whole truth about capitalist democracy. AS
long as the workers are blind to their role in
society and millions of their class help sup
port the capitalist control of government and
industry, they will be let alone and the rule
of such democracy will be holy. But once the
workers become aware of their class interests
and attempt to rid themselves of their ex-
ploters, then rule by majority is no longer
democratic, then all the empty pretences at
peaceful methods are discarded, and the sig
nal is given for an open assault on the work
ingmen along the whole front.
The program of the English capitalists is the
program Of the capitalist class the world over.
Our own emocracy-worshippi employers
will pursue exactly the same policy that the
English privileged class is resorting to.
