During the last few months, and
during the last few days IS well, the
papers have been filled with news
about industrial and c0ntnefcial COM
binations.
New trusts are being formed, new
combines which are not trusts are
being formed. And IN addition to all
this. the vertical trust is rapidly com
ing into being.
The vertical trust is one that con-
trolls the entire product from raw ma
terial to market.
The Ford Motor company comes
very near to being. vertical trust.
It controls mines, forests, glass fac
tories. steel mills, 6hctories, team
ships, railroads and airplanes every
thing needed to make car and TO
ship it away.
The vertical trust is the trust OF
the future. Standard OIL Is becoming
more and more vertical trust =
from oil vel to tank wagon.
The vertical trust is Immensely
more economical as a producing or
eanization than the original hori-
zontal trust and much more power
ful.
The natural tendency Of trust build
ers is to build An autocratic organi-
cation.

It bumps into the vertical pillar Of
autocracy.
What about it, Who wins--and
HOW?
Contests are won in two ways,
mainly. Either they are won BY force
or by persuasion.

A Hymn TO Hate
BY covAMI.

o thou, twinborn with Love from Beauty's line
Her alter ego and, like her, divine!
To thee L lift my voice in feeble praise!
To thee admiring, my eyes l raise!
To thee whose fructifying kiss, o Hate,
So oft hath 'couraged men to challenge fate!
Thou art not evil,-thou art good and fair
To thee we owe the strength of our despair;
To thee alone, when all around is night,
When Hope is dead and Love herself in flight
To thee we owe the iron strength and will
To battle for emancipation still.
TITS not till slav'rys hated by the slaves
IT'S only then Truth rises from her graves
IT'S only then that Freedom comes to BIRTH
IT'S only then Love glorifes the Earth
'Tis only then 0 Hate, tits only then,--
After thou hast cleansed the hearts of men!
1t is because Tolls legions know thee not,
Theirs is the burden and the bitter lot; -
Theirs is the robot task, the servile name,
The poems and the tenants wage and shame :
Because of this, o Hate, because of this
They have not felt thy fructifying kiss

First, education: In the person of DR.. George B.

quoted from Oscar Wilde and the scriptures. de-
plored the English coal strike and predicted that
there may be just union two left in America
when the American plan boys get through cleaning
them up. He asserted that every worker has a
right -"god-gven" his words-to work and
that his remuneration like that of university presi

layers, especially, should lay bricks. This
point seems to have become an obsession with some
folk who are not bricklayers. They cannot see

So Then Dr. Cutten referred to workers morons
who ought not to ask for share in management
