The refusal to cooperate for common
recognized good is strike. 1t is more than
strike-it is sabotage. Strikes and sabotage are
not confined to factories and mines, railroads
and ships-nor to manual workers. Strikes in
their more infamous aspects and the most in
furious sabotage are far more prevalent than
people are wont to think, for their attention has
been turned in only one direction: industrial
production.
They occur in high places as well as in low.
They are plotted in dark corners and around
mahogany tables; by political gangsters and
industrial magnates; by tricksters who pride
themselves on their smartness and by citizens
who wear respectable 'front.' But skunks by
any other name would smell as ILL.,
Saboteurs are those who oppose and defeat
any measure or program for the general well
fare which they themselves have not proposed
in order to thwart an opponent or gain some
thing for themselves. They set personal interest
or partisan or factional loyalty above the good
of multitudes.

that, too for generations to come. The "wilful"
senators who killed the League of Nations were
saboteurs of the most Machiavellian and Mephs-
tophelian order. Their personal hatred of Presi-
dent Wilson instigated them to treason against
mankind. Their act was sabotage.
If one looks rightly at matters he will see
that it is not only workers who throw sabots
and monkey-wrenches into machines. The throw
ing is common sport, from town councils to Con-
gress. 1t Is terrific cost to the people, too.
And it shows progress beyond estimation.
Cooperation between labor and management
Is most desirable thing for both parties con-
cerned and for the consuming public. If labor
refuses to cooperate with management for full
production when terms and conditions are fair,
labor is guilty Of sabotage If management re-
fuses to deal fairly with labor refuses to hear
the reasonable suggestions of labor, refuses to
improve faulty working conditions, management
Is guilty Of sabotage. And the public pays the
cost, and in sum total for all industry that cost
Is enormous
Applying these tests make your list of busi-
ness and political saboteurs. And study methods
to sabotage them out of existence.

DEWEY: "They (the administra-

ophy that our industrial plant is

even begun to build our industrial
plant. We have not exhausted our
creative genius"
THE PEOPLE: Strange words.
Mr.. Dewey, coming from the man
who poo-poohed President Roose-

planes yearly. You said: 'What is
the good Of talking about $4,000
airplanes It will take at least
four years to accomplish this" You
lacked faith in America. Mr.. Dewey.
You believed the people could not
meet this assignment. Mr.. Roose-
welt, however. did not lack faith.
While you scoffed, he worked with
US so that 100000 planes were
turned out annually.

Of course we need unemploy-
