Various Standard Oil companies, the New
York Central Railroad Company, the Ford in
terests, Eastman Kodak Co., and the Guaran-
tee Trust Company are among the other lead
ers In instituting proft-sharing schemes
The object of these fake attempts is obvious,
The capitalists believe that by interesting the
workers financially in the enterprises, strikes
will be prevented, discomfort scotched, and the
undisputed rule of the boss in the shop assured.
Once the workers are afflicted with the notion
that they have an economic, tangible interest
in the company they will not want to do any
thing which might decrease the profits of the
firm. This is the faulty reasoning of the en-
ployers 1t is no surprise, therefore, to see that
profit-sharing and trade unionism don't mix.
Profit-sharing schemes are in vogue in those
industries where unionism is taboo, where the
workers have been crushed in their attempts
to organize.
Profit-sharing is only another artificial. frau

more historically useless system of economic

The Flight of Capital

Despite the continued assurance given Brit
ish Big Business by Ramsay Macdonald that
he will be nice to the capitalists when he be-
comes Premier, many English bankers and
manufacturers are transferring their invest
ments to what they deem safer fields.
Because of their fear of increased taxes and
the approaching collapse Of the franc many
French capitalists are also beginning to follow
their English brothers example.
Naturally the safest field for such British
and French investors is the United States.
This country has been least undermined by the
World War. Our capitalist political edifce
has been least rocked by the revolutionary vol
canic eruptions that have shaken the European
capitalist governments. Thus many European
men of wealth are buying up steel and railway
securities on the New York Exchange.
Prior to the war European capitalists con-
trolled : good deal of these stocks. In 1915
close to three billion dollars of American rail
way securities were in the hands of European
investors. More than one-fourth of the stock
of the United States Steel Corporation was then
in the hands of Europeans. When Amer
lea entered the war and the European CAPT
talists had to foot some bills they transferred
many of their best securities to American
hands BY 1917 half Of the railway stocks
came into American hands. The proportion of
United States steel stock owned in Europe fell
to less than one-tenth in two years.
The total significance of this fight of Euro
pean capital to the haven of Vail Street cannot
be estimated yet. It is obvious, however, that
these European capitalists are not helping
capitalism much in their own countries when
they ship their capital across the Atlantic
This hegira of capital to our shores is bound to
have an enervating and disastrous effect on the
capitalist system of production and exchange
in Europe. To the United States the influx of
European capital may mean temporary rise
in the prices of securities. But this rise will
prove only an inflated bubble and burst with
deadly effect when the market collapses after
wards.

"Pravda," official organ. of the Rus.

editorial dealing with Secretary Of

the instructions alleged to have been

"Why did Mr.. Hughes, the State

to publish knowingly false, evident

the excuse of the uncompromised
position of Hughes, who represents
the interests of industrial capital.

Where the Fur Flies

Many people are getting excited over Sen
ator Wheeler's resolution to investigate the
secret sealskin contract which has, to date,
robbed the government of from 100000 to
$4,000, 900. We see no case for even getting
warmed up over this scandal
The wives and daughters of the American
workers and farmers are not burdened with the
problem of buying sealskin coats Most Of them
are having the time of their lives making ends
meet.
But this controversy in the sumptuous cham
bers of the United States Senate has another
angle to it which is Of considerable interest to
those who work for living. The company ac-
cused of having defrauded the government of
these many millions, is st. Louis concern. The
items of the contract enabling these millionaire
fur dealers to plumber the country's treasury
have been kept secret. When the sanctity
of this contract was first questioned in the SEN
ate United States Senator Selden P. Spencer of
Missouri leaped to his feet and made an elo-
quent defense of the International Fur Elk
change and Fouke Fur Company. Now it turns
out to be that the gentleman from Missouri has
been for some time, and still is, the legal repre-
sentative of the firm which has put over this
contract
Nine days after the Honorable Spencer made
his speech in the Senate in defense of these fur
interests the latter sent $4,000 check to his
firm, Spencer and Donnell.
To some this incident may appear as a shock
ing perverson of American democracy. We
are not at all surprised at it. We would be
surprised if Senator Spencer's conduct had been
otherwise. The experiences of our workers and
poor farmers abound with overwhelming indis-

So absurd that it would not last even

This time the fabrication was com

the absence of the date under such

Our Union Bankers

Many friends of labor" are hailing with
glee the spread of banking institutions con-
Quoted by trade union leaders and labor organ
lzatlons. Liberals are greeting these ventures
as the heralds of new era OF peace in indus
try and the end of all class strife between the
owners and those who work for them
Banking is not trade or an art the cultiva-
ton of which is limited to some divinely APP
pointed group or class of the population.
When business is brisk and the economic con-
ditions are good it is not difficult matter for
trade union leaders to engage in banking. But
we realize that the economic today will give
way to an economic tomorrow Of serious de-
preston. We are convinced that this to-mor-
row is not distant What will happen to the
labor bank when panic seizes the New York
Stock Exchange and the Chicago Board of
Trade? Will these banks weather the storm
then?
One might answer that the labor banks will
pull through If they invest in gilt-edged secur-
tiles That is more easily said than done. Be-
sides, labor banks will become menace to
workers out of jobs and hungry if their depos-
its are tied up in gilt-edged securities but are
not fluid and movable Big banks like the
National City Of New York and the Continental
and Commercial of Chicago can very well af
ford to invest in safe fields that do not permit
wholesale withdrawal of funds in times Of
stress, because their depositors will, as class,
not be compelled to fly to COVER when the

Relief Without Conditions

The presence of three German Relief organ
izations in this country seems to have puzzled
many workers as to the difference between the
three. They are the committees organized by
Hell-an'- Maria Dawes, the banker, Samuel
Gompers and his reactionary labor lieutenants,
and that organized by the Friends of Soviet
Russia and Workers Germany. There is vast
difference between them.
Dawes, the banker, who represents the big
business, is interested in keeping the German
workers alive so they may be exploited for his
benefit. The bankers are making big loans to

ers cannot toll ten or twelve hours day And
without workers the German industrialists
could not guarantee Dawes and his friends the
large returns on their money which these char
liable gentlemen demand. The Dawes relief
means feeding the worker in order to make
him fit for ruthless exploitation. It is relief
with conditions.
Gompers is raising funds to maintain the
German Trade Union bureaucracy which has
been in open alliance with the German indus
trialists and is today the strongest bulwark
against the emancipation of the German work.

tributed through the Ebert, Scheidemann So

loyal to the renegade labor headers who be-
trayed the German workers. 1t will be used
to divide the workers. 1t means relief with
conditions.
The Friends of Workers Germany are op-
posed to such relief. They believe in famine

postponement, Mr.. Hughes expects
to make use of the paper jam of the
Commissions of the American Con-
gress. The investigation of the ques-
ton in the Commission, where piles
of paper will be written up, where
many witnesses will be questioned,
where many voluminous stenographic
reports will be gathered, gives the
forgers a chance meanwhile to pose
with knowingly false documents.
MEANWHILE it is possible to make
an attempt to cover up the impor-
lance of the offer of the Soviet Gov
eminent, MEANWHILE it is possible
to strengthen the repressions against
the working class, to disrupt the Con-
vention of the Workers Party, which
is expected to be held shortly,-in a
word, it opens the possibility for the
hired bourgeois henchmen to unite
their hands.
"But there is every reason to be-
lieve that those social circles of
America, which are interested in re-
opening commercial relations with
our Union, not mentioning already
the Workers Party, will take all
measures possible not to allow this
speculation on evidently false docu-
ments. The investigation of the

be buried in the parliamentary COM

investigation to an arbitration court.
