In the last war was much profit
eering and many miIlionaires were
made.
Il is repugnant to the average per-
son to think Of men getting fat and
wealthy at the expense Of the nation
in time Of life and death struggle.
Yet that is what happened in every
country in the last war, and It is sub
stantially what has happened in every
war.
So it is easy to cheer an idea that

war time.

But trade unionists can afford to
stop and think twice before they
jump into the balIhoo wagon and be-
gin to shout for conscription of men
and capital.
Perhaps the idea isn't SO glittering
as it seems.
There are lot of definitions that
have to be formulated as to what con-
stitutes wealth. That is only one
phase of the matter. What is capital,
or wealth? Factories? Railroads?
Automobiles, hotels, stocks, bonds Z
The money you have in the bank1
The money in your pocket? What
wound be considered as capital?
Where would the line be drawn, and
why? Complications are diseernible.
Then about labor, There would be
little difficulty in knowing where to
draw the line there, but some, how
ever.
But this is sure. Under conscrip-
ton trade union standards would get
about as much consideration in the
shops as in the trenches.
Wage standards would be shot to
pieces. Military discipline would re-
place the usual industrial relations.
There can be- no doubt about that.
Now, while war lasted, we might
say we could agree to all chuck in to-
gether and give up everything to win
the war. That's how we felt in the
World War.
But sometimes giving up things de-
feats the purpose. It might not even
help to win the war.
Surely the military organization
thus far has not consulted labor as to
its ideas about CONSUMPTION in the next
war, if and when there is one.
But the important thing to consider
is this: What sort of confusion would
we have after the war? ID
With trade union standards gone,
trade union membership destroyed or
lapsed--for it would drop like plum
ct and never fear-what would be the
position of labor after the war?
Property would be pretty much in
tact. But humanity and property are
not all alike. Humanity would be
compelled to start at scratch, with its
bare hands and little else.
Before wage earners get enthusi-
astic about universal CONSUMPTION Of
capital and labor in time of war, let
them think about what that would
mean on the next Armistice day. La
Dor has also to think about peace time
after the guns are silent

From all corners of the world we
now get warning against the Com
munist machine and Communism. The
American Federation spoke its first
warning against Communism when
the Lenine rebellion destroyed the
Kerensky government during the
World War.
The American Federation Of Labor
has been at the job ever since, fight
ing, warning, exposing.
One by. one the forces Of democracy
have fallen in line. The pioneering
work has borne fruit. There are
today but few sane persons who are
willing to listen to Communist twad-
die. There are more who understand
the menace Of Communism and soviet
ism. But the fight is not ended, and
those who believe in democracy still
have 70 do guard duty, still have to
watch the Red pollution.

Il visiting cards is one of the
red.ietter days Of life-isn't it?
1 remember! And, Of course, you
want them to be correct.
A Is correct. There should al
ways be a title on a card-even
very small ladies of twelve have
titles on their cards now. Any
way, any girl over fifteen or six
teen should have miss" engraved
on her cards. And there should
be no authorizations. The point Of
this is that authorizations are an
indication Of haste, and haste and
formaIity do not go together.
"Mr." and MRS." OF course, are
always abbreviated, but after that,
there are practically no abbrevia-
tions allowed. You may leave out
your middle name-many people
do, and sometimes they are wise,
for middle names often spoil the
sound of a name. But don't use
Just the initial of the middle
name.
Also it is excellent form to
have your address engraved on
your card, in the lower right
hand corner, in letters smaller
than those used in the name. But
there should be no authorizations
in this either.
