QUALITY OF LABOR HELD INDIFFERENT
Old=Time Happy Relation= ship, Workmanship Miss
 ing, FOremen Informed

Criticism of the quality of work by the laborer of today was voiced by L. A. Appley of New York, who told members of the Industrial Fore mems club, speaking at a dinner last night at the YMCA, that there is "an attitude developing that the world owes a living to everyone and to hell with the consumer. Much of the success of capitalization relations was seen to depend on the foremen who, in turn, must depend on cooperation with the top man. agement in order to sure quality of production.
 Success of a company, he said, depends on the degree of approval given performance of an employe by the consumer. He declared that quality of performance of the rank and file of workers today is threat ened because neither the quality of services of the workers nor the quality of goods they produce are as good as they used to be.
 The speaker advocated conferences between foremen and their Workmen, and conferences between the man. agement and the foremen to effect a unity of effort in the struggle to please the consumer and to keep all departments in harmony by this cooperative program.

has merely pointed out that in some respects Fascist procedure is more frank and open in its use of political techniques, which all countries use but do not like to admit. This. say his critics, is mere unprincipled Machiavellianism.

mold wrote, founded political ca reers on the continuance of such (anti-trust) crusades, which were entirely futile but paid big dividends in terms of personal prestige"
 New Methods, Same Results
 Following these crusades, Arnold goes on, great trusts abandoned the cruel practices of ruthless sup pression of competitors which the symbols" of the day considered immoral. They went to get the same results by tactics regarded as highly moral on the part of indi- viouals, and hence permissible to trusts.
 According to Arnold these are: 1. Getting increasing industrial control of stock manipulation; 2. Pooling of patents and patent laws which protect the owners of pat ents rather than inventors; 3. A whole system of trade associations,

of the day, realistic, devastating constructively critical" a Voltalre o 1888.
 The other is that he is a shallov smart-aleck who has tried to creau a sensation by simply pooh-poohlnl everything that is popularly pe' lieved.
 Good or Bad, It's Different
 But neither those who dislike nor those who like Professor Ar holds books, are ignoring them, ane it is not likely that hostile mem bers of the Senate Committee VII ignore them, either.
 Arnold's thesis, difficult to reduce to a few words, runs something like this:
 People like to think they are
 rational. They like to test every
 proposed course of action against "compIete and rounded systems of doctrines and principles"
 Having set up those principles, they regard them as "the truth" Anyone who doesn't believe in
 them has fallen into error and is evil. Soon even good results, Ob- tained by principles that vary from the accepted doctrines, are considered evil. The devotion to
 the system of principles, the inn aged idea, the symbol" has be- come so overpowering that it hampers and hamstrings sensible practical action, retards, progress,
 prevents even a scientific study of improvement.
 What are regarded as funda- mental principles of law and ecO- monies, solidified by popular de-
 ference while fluid society has passed them by, have really be- come a folklore" rather than va lid and provable fundamentals of tOday's world.
 Anti Trust Gestures
 That is an effort to express the germ of Arnold's thesis. This con- flict between the idea, or symbol, and the practical reality, Arnold carries down and applies to the an- ti-trust campaign which will be his arena if confirmed as assistant at torney-general in charge Of anti trust prosecutions.
 The growth of great industrial or ganizations in America occurred, Arnold writes, "in the face of a re- ligion which officially was dedicat- ed to the preservation of the econo- mic independence of individuals. '' The folklore of the time regarded "bigness as a curse because it led to monopoly and interfered with the operation of the laws of supply and demand"
 But at the same time technolog- ical progress made bigness abso- lutely essential to produce cheap goods. So, to satisfy and pay trib- ute to the symbols" it was neces- sary to pass antitrust laws and make gestures at abolishing trusts but at the same time never really interfere with them at all. Watch Out for BOrah
 This, Arnold writes, is the history of the antitrust laws. "Attemps to reform" he contends, usually end- ed with an appeal to the old creed under whose protecting mantle these institutions had grown, with the or ganizations personified as individ- uals .. these attacks always ended with ceremony of atonement, but few practical results"
 Observers are chuckling at the possible effect on Senator Borah of one of Arnold's cracks. Borah is a member of the Judiciary Commit tee which will consider Arnold's s nomination.

FROM "SNOW-BOUND"
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

All day the gusty north-Wind bore The loosening drift its breath before: Low circling round it's southern zone, The sun through dazzling snow-mist shone. No church-bell lent it's Christian tone To the savage air, no social smoke Curled over woods of snow-hung oak A solitude made more intense By dreary voiced clements, The shrieking of the mindless wind, The moaning tree-boughs swaying blind, And on the glass the unmeaning beat Of ghostly finger-tips of sleet -. o Time and Change!-with hair as gray As was my sre's that winter day, How strange it seems with so much gone Of life and love, to still live on! An, brother, only and thou Are left of all that circle now" ..
