LET'S GET 1T CLEAR

There are no classes in America
(they say)-only strata of society
based on wealth or the lack thereof.
The top layed is composed of the
very rich, that is, those who W the
dominant productive wealth of the
country, such as railroads, mines, oil
wells, telegraph and telephone lines,
the greater industrial plants, banks
and insurance companies.
The next stratum downward is made
up of smaller manufacturers, mer-
chants, county seat bankers, real es-
Montana labor news., 1933-03-02

tate owners, money lenders and stock
gamblers.
Below them come the professional
classes, such as doctors, lawyers,
scribes, military officers and polite
ians.
Next come the farmers, who, in
turn, are separated into l~and-owning
farmers, tenant farmers, share-crop-
pers and hired hands.
Beneath them are the wage earners,
divided into upper, middle and lowest
strata to-wit: White collar men,
skilled men and common labor.
At the bottom are the down and
outs.
Between these sundry strata of
American society, there is no social
intercourse. The trust magnates would
no more think of associating with the
merchants o. county seat bankers than
the merchants or county seat bankers
would think of associating with the
pencil pushers, the latter with the
skilled mechanics, or the mechanics
with the shovel stiff.
But there are no classes in America.
Oh mol
Religiously, we are all brothers from
the worshipers in Bishop Manning's
thirty million dollar cathedral to the
hobo in the gospel mission. We pray
to the same God, expect to meet in
the same heaven above, and decline to
speak to each other here below,
Politically there is perfect equality.
High or low, one vote. The very rich
select the candidates and foot their
campaign expenses. The not-so-rich
vote with the very rich as a matter
of course The professionals furnish
candidates, orators and propagandists
for the top layer, pocketing jobs and
campaign funds as pay.
The farmers and wage workers vote
for the friends selected by their en-
emies of the top layer, recommended
by the third class-beg pardon-third
stratum spielers. And the down and
outs constitute the floating or indie
pendent vote which decides elections
in accordance with the amount of
boobies distributed by ~contending fac
tions of the uppermost strata. The
upshot is democracy, also known as
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people.
s&&
Sorry to disturb the sweet dreams,
but written on every page of history
is the lesson that economic inequality
and social equality have never dwelt
under the same roof. The very rich
have always ruled. Their imitators
and retainers have always fooled the
workers. The downs and outs have
always sold their votes-for bread and
free circuses in Imperial Rome, for a
flop and slug of booze in free America.
Whoever seeks to make American
democracy a living thing must start
at the bottom, at economic equality.
All else is wind, phrases, foam and
fizz.

SAD FATE OF PROPHETS

One of the troubles with the world

by a harassed employer existing on the
verge of financial bankruptcy. De-
mocraey in these industries is sup
planted by an industrial autocracy.
LOCALIZED collective bargaining will
permit the workers of America to ex-
%ercise their birthright of participa-
ton in the fixation of the prices of
their services and the conditions of
employment.
Labor should be given greater rec
ognition in the affairs of government,
and it's spokesman should be given
representation upon boards and com
missions exercising governmental
functions. During the period of the
World War labor was given such rec
| ognition, and inasmuch as the nation
is now confronted with an emergency
even more grave than was the case
during the years of 1917 and 1913,
labor should again be given its seat at
the council table.
If given the right to organize in our
major industries, labor can police those
industries against Communism, or any
other false and destructive philosophy,
more efficiently than can the govern
ment itself. American labor has in
the past demonstrated its patriotism
and its desire to stand behind and pro-
tect the accredited institutions of our
land.
If labor is accorded its fundamental
rights it can render great service in
the present crisis.
Emergency Action.
In consideration of the obvious cir
cumstances, Congress should pass a
joint resolution declaring a state Of
national emergency to effectuate in
telligent organization Of the industrial
and financial activities of the nation.
A Board of Emergency Control
should be created. 1t should be COM
posed of representatives of industry,
labor, agriculture and finance. 1t
should be given plenary emergency
power, under the direction of the pres
ident.
The board should be instructed to
reduce the hours of labor, and the
number Of days in the work week, to
a point where the industrial machinery
/ of the nation can substantially take up
the slack of unemployment, and under
conditions where labor is accorded the
right of collective bargaining through
representatives of it's own choosing.
The board should also be instructed
to stabilize the prices of agricultural
products and other commodities to a
point that will express reasonable re-
turn to the producers thereof.
The board should be given such
other instructions as to fundamental
economic planning and other matters,
in accordance with the judgment Of
the Congress.
The foregoing recommendation may
be criticized by some as being a form
of dictatorship repugnant to the
American concept of government.
Nevertheless it is the form of proce-
dure resorted to by our Nation during
the crisis of the World War, when
the enemy was Three Thousand miles
from our shore. Today the enemy is
within the boundaries of the nation,
and is stalking through every COM
munity and every home, and, obvious
ly, this proposal is the most democrat
ic form of internal regulation that
can be devised to deal with our eco
