INEVITABLE LOT

Once he was sent on dan
gerous assignment 10 Gdynia.
Death was the almost in
evitable lot of any Comintern
man caught by the police on
Polish soil. But no danger or
hardship could deter Samsing.
While he was active in
GdyA, his young wife. whom
he had left together with two
small children in Oslo, became
desperately i'll. A costly treat
ment was necessary 10 save
her life. Samsing appealed 10
Georgi Dimitrov 10 advance
him the necessary funds.
He received an answer TO
the effect that the organiza-
ton could do nothing for his
wife, who Was not a member
Of the party. Samsing left
Gdynia and journeyed TO Ber-
lin. He was told that the
Comintern had no funds 10
spare and that Comrade
Dimitrov was on vacation.
Dimitrov was vacationing in
Zoppot. a fashionable gam
bling resort near Danzig, a
short Jump from Gdynia.
Arthur Samsing sped 10
Zoppot. He found his Bel
gian chief. far from the
trenches of class war. sharing
a suite in an elegant hotel
with a beautiful dancer from
Berlin. Samsing asked Dimi-
troy for money to save his
wife. He had no other re-
sources: his whole life had
been spent in and for the
movement.
Dimitrov, resenting the fact
THAT one Of his frugaliy living
"activists" had trapped him in
the role Of a bon vivant, be-
came very angry. Samsing
departed, penniless.
He did not return TO his
post in Gdynia. He went 10
Oslo TO stand by his wife who
was then living with her chill
dren in an abandoned cottage
in the woods beyond Oslo.
The Comintern struck him
off its pay roll as a deserter.

Excessive drinking had

sounded very earnest and
very respectable. 1t was the

Industrial Democracy

Along these broad lines America
has moved
First it broke the Shackles Of
monarchy and the sway of kings to
achieve free government by l>'e
men. That was political democracy.
Then it broke the ShackleS of
closed SOclety-a society IN which
every man was born to a place,
which he could never leave-and
achieved an open society in which
every man was given a chance to
find a place proportionate to his
abilities. That was social democracy
Now it is trying to solve the
problem of industrial democracy.
A defense emergency is not per-
haps the ideal time and place to
solve that knotty problem, but So
luton will not wait Modern indus
try is an industry OF great units
in which impersOnal masses CT cap
ital employ the services of great
masses of men at work. 1t created
new relationships with little SINH
larity to the old relationships be-
tween one employer and few en-
ployes. America, late in tackling
this modern problem, is still in the
midst of it.
What progress have we made?
This: We have generally agreed
that masses of men employed by
masses CT capital must deal col
lectively to assert their rights and
make themselves felt as a force
in modern industry.
But the exact techniqueS by
which the organized labor of men
may organize and treat with or
ganized masses of capital and come
amicably to sane and workable re-
lationships are in their experiment
tai phase. Such a condition, with
labor exercising share in the con-
duct of industry in some way pro-
portionate to its Importance, is in
dustrIal democracy.
Yet labor has not itself learned
perfectly the lessons CT democratic
conduct of even its own agencies.
There can be no real industrial
democracy when the parties to it
are themselves undemocratic.
The American Civil Liberties Un-
ion announces a study of democracy
in trade unions. That is a proper
subject Of study, for it is obvious
that it is just as bad for an indivi-
dual workman to be robbed of his
democratic rights by an oppressive
union domination as by an oppres-
sive employer. The twenties were
spent in examination of the means
by which capital was undemocrati-
cally controlled; how unscrupulous
