is entirely innocent of the fate which
may await him. The fact that the
tiger man is abroad instils every

his operations are extended some-

Big Business Can Afford To Be
Human

Big business can afford to be
human. That is the answer to its
success in achieving a spirit Of
human relationship wherever an
effort in this direction is being
made. A corporation that Is sue
cessful has the funds not only to
pay the wages that the best of its
competitors pay. but also to give
the thought and the time and the
money in working out plans whereby
every man employed can feel that
he Is an important factor in the
organization. The employer of
twenty men cannot sit down at his
desk and give an hours thought to
the question as to how he can get
his boiler maker interested in turn =
ing out better boilers. He is too
busy thinking, about how he can
sell the boilers he has on hand. The
employer of twenty thousand men.
however. knows that 1t pays him to
give hours and days and weeks to
the question Of how to interest all
the big Jims, Dicks, and Harrys in
the turning out of a perfect boiler.
for in perfection lies the continued
success of the organization. He
knows that it Is important for him
to get at the minds of these men
Just as. it is important for them to
know what he is driving at.--Walter

Congressional Mill;
Big Bills Held Up

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Some
administration leaders have aban-
idoned hopes of adjourning Congress
before Sept. 15.
Two reasons were ascribed for the
upset of original plans to quit June
LIST.
Slow progress made with legis-
lation in the House under the revised
rules forced by the Progressive Demo-
cratic coalition at the opening of the
session.
2.-Use of the Senate as broad
casting station" for campaign speech
es, with recent Scandals" as the key
note.
A recess during June to enable
congressman to attend the national
political conventions at Cleveland and
New York with resumption of the
grind on July z, is included in the
revised plans of the Republican chief
tains.
With tlSI three months Of work be-
hind it, Congress has not passed a
single major bill. All the appropiia-
zion bills, nc tax reduction bill, ln-
Muscle Shoals legislation,
the bonus and long list of imperfect
farm relief measures are still on the
legislative program.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-07

what the Communists said was Hill
quits statement?
The answer to this question is not
very difficult. The Socialists know
that the c. P. P. A. has not changed
its position materially; that it is not
committed to independent political
action, and that at Cleveland it may
follow its old course of nom partisan
political action. This possibility puts
the Socialist Party in an untenable
position. In order to cover Up this
situation it resorts to the detestable
policy Of accusing the Communists
of misquoting Hillquit and stating
that something wal said which the
quotation in the DAILY WORKER
shows was not said, in order to lead
the workers who are for independent
political action off the track and
make them think about supposed
Communist Misrepresentation rather
than the issue at stake: Do the work
ers want Farmer-Labor Party and
shall they realize it thru the May
Both Convention called by the
Farmer-Labor Party elements or
shall they still place their hopes upon
the c. P. P. A. which has met three
times and three times betrayed them?
We do not doubt in the least that
Morris Hillquit would like to see the
G. P. P. A. organize new Party
and nominate on an independent
ticket. Hillquit may hope that they
will do that but Hillquit's hopes will
not decide the question. The power
in the G. P. P. A. is in the hands of
the railroad unions who on a roll call
vote can absolutely control that or
ganization. These railroad organiza-
tons have shown by their attempt to
cleanse McAdoo since the St. Louis
convention that their minds are run
ming in the opposite direction from
independent political action.
This fact has swung those workers
and farmers who are for Independent
political action thru a Farmer-Labor
Party behind theN May Both Conven-
ton. The Leaders garblings and
misrepresentation are an attempt to
obscure the clear issue: Whether the
farmers and workers shall support
the movement for a Farmer-Labor
Party, of which the Communists are
a part, which is expressed in the call
for the May Both Convention, or
whether they shall support the G. P.
P. A. and the Socialists in the vacil-
lating, hesitating betrayals which has
been the record of that organization
thus far.
