enormously, huge million dollar corpo.
rations have sprung up overnight and
the men who have been producing
and continue to produce this colossal
wealth are getting a miserable wage
are at the full mercy of the bosses
and in the most humiliating position.
No wonder the profession is despised
by 80 per cent of those who enter it
and the usual talk of the technical
man who is frank is that he'd rather
be a carpenter, or printer.
The capitalist mode of production
based on anarchy in production and
on innumerable contradictions inner
ent in it makes for greed, graft, inn
potency and criminal wastefulness;
bright intellect and ability are ne
elected and annihilated, creative en-
ergy is destroyed. The small bust
ness by virtue of it's position works
its men to death, in hunt for the dol
lar, and the big business is a scene
for the play of politicians, ignorant but
willing tools, without ingenuity, Great
i've, or in most part even executive
ability, even without adequate knowl-
edge Of their duties.
There are enuf spies in every big or
ganization, SO that anyone who may
feel the sting of the present situation
is forced to either lose employment,
or keep his mouth shut. Boss con-
trolled associations Of employees are
to. be found in practically every big
establishment; however, altho it is
unoflcially made, clear to the new en-
ployee that it is the desire Of the
heads of the corporation that every
employee belong to the organization
and be active in it, the workers take
very little interest in such organiza-
tions.
The men themselves are very keen
in each particular case to one or an
other injustice done to them, compar-
ing their well-being with that of their
neighbors; they are aware of the fact
that they are underpaid as compared
with organized skilled trade workers,
but go no further. Not only do they
lack shred of class-consciousness,
but they no not even feel the neces.
sity of struggling for improvement in
their condition in some way other than
the accepted one (the way of their mas.
ters). They don't seem to grasp that
the so-called individual bargainging
is not individual bargaining at all, but
rather method whereby the or.
ganized capitalists in the engineering
industry are marshalling their united

the realists of today, who write their
novels and plays in acts, not in words.
For it is the truth; in a civil war
the sword is more powerful than the
pen; the war of the classes is civil
war everywhere, save in Russia where
the revolution succeeded and has only
to be safeguarded against the foes
within and without.
Any man today who wants to be of
service to his fellowmen must become
a Communist first; and gladly do the
bidding of the Communist leaders. if
he can not become a leader himself.
There is no other course for hero.
Gorky and Andreyev and Tolstoi
were heroes one day; but that day has
disappeared. Two have died; we'll
say nothing about them; they lived as
they saw best. But for Gorky we
must say we feel the keenest sorrow,
for he laid aside the pen for the
sword when he became connected with
the soviet government; then dropt his
sword for tame bourgeois pen again.
He ranked himself along with the
counterrevolutionists, and must be
feared and hated, rather than followed
and loved

forces against the divided Insignificant
strength Of the individual members OF
their technically trained slaves. They
do not see that in order to get out OF
the present morass, in order to amount
to something they have to build up an
organization of their own, and give up
the idle hope that the present boss
controlled organizations will protect
their interests. A straight road to
this conception and in the proper di-
.rection for engineering workers has
been paved by the organized workers
Of other industries, such as the metal
trades, printers, building trades, tai
Tors, painters, ETC., etc.
Practically all skilled workers are
organized and are meeting the as
saults and greed of the employers as
collective bodies. Respectfully, one of
the most important sections of the
skilled workers, the engineering pro-
fessiOn, presents to us pitiful sight.
All grading and classification of its
ability as well as regulation is left
entirely in the hands of the employ
ers. The engineering profession has
not as yet learned the elements of
modern collective organizations,
their economic advantages, colossal
strength and potential possibilities.
The employees in the engineering
field are facing the elemental problem
Of education as to the advantages Of
collective agreements and urgent ne
cessity of real employees organiza-
tions. Once built up, such organiza-
tons would no doubt become formid-
able factors in the class-struggle of
the workers in America, greatly inn
proving their own condition as well as
marking milestone in the develop
ment of the slumbering huge potent
forces Of strength.
1t is most difficult task, but it
must be performed; the duty to begin
the work of organization Of the tech
nical men rests with those of them,
who have grasped its Importance and
significance to the labor movement in
general and the immediate advan-
tages it offers to the entire profession
in particular.
Concrete ways and means have to
be devised and a campaign Of prepare
tory educational and agitational work
must be developed.
The men in the profession have to
be rallied and organized. The meth
DDS of approach must be given a most
thoro and elaborate study.
To the task, comrades!

were 13,210,000 bushels Commercial
interests last August estimated that
the Orient would buy fully 40 per cent
of all wheat exported from the West
Coast during the season.
Prospects for increased wheat trade
with the Orient are such that several
of the leading wheat exporters max
ing sales in Japan and China have
urged the department of agriculture
to send a representative to the Orient
to demonstrate the handling and grad
ing Of American wheat. Several mod
ern flour mills have been built by the
Chinese at Shanghai, and 1t is ex-
pected that additional facilities for
handling American wheat and making
it into bread will be provided.
