No. 5-Spirit Photography


IF SPIRITS could really talk to MEDIUMS they
4 would advise them TO be more cautious.
Anxious to meet the rapidly-increaSing de-
mand for spirit manifestations, the takers of
such phenomena are releasing their new tricks
prematurely, thus giving us preView OF frauds
originally planned TO dupe the postwar world.
Spirit photography is back again, as I was
sure ii would be. II is a natural sequel 10 the
messages" that trance mediums have been pro-
Gucing orally particularly in England where most
communications are purportedly from war dead.
Trance messages only the first step 10
the Credulous. When something more tangible is
ycded in the way of proof, spirit photographs
often provide it, in spite of the fact that experts
declare they have never seen spirit photograph
they could accept as genuine.
Nevertheless, spirit photographs have always
impressed the public, particularly following wars.
soon after the Civil War photographer named
Mumler accidentally discovered that faces dimly
fCappeared on plates that were only lightly
cleaned, and the business its way.
One of the clients who visited Numbers Bos-
ton studio was Mrs. Lincoln. Tipped off TO her
arrival Mumler produced a picture in which the
faint portrait of the martyred President appeared
above the widows shoulder.
After World War l, spirit photography doomed
until Sir Arthur Conan Doyle announced that
fairies could be photographed readily as
spirits and produced pictures which he had been
told were genuine, all portraying pixies the
proWl.
Expert analysis tore these fairy pictures TO
shreds But people forget So now spirit photo
graphs are enjoying a new vogue.
Small wonder, considering the scientific WAYS
Of taking them. Fluorescent backgrounds painted
with faces visible only TO the cameras eye

During a recent test seance. tiny pictures were

ANNUAL WAGE

CLIO Pres. Philip Murray has focused
national attention on a minimum guaran-
teed annual wage for industrial workers
as II of the major issues Of 1914.
This is one of the demands OF the
United Steelworkers of America in its
present collective bargaining negotiations
with the steel companies.
Murray has also advanced it in a mum
Der of public statements as one OF the
general issues Oh which the ClO will cam
paign in the 1914 elections.
He has called attention to the glar-
ing contrast between the insecurity
which faces war workers and return
ing servicemen, on the one hand and the
well padded security so carefully pro
vided for American corporations and
their coupon clippers, on the other.
Undersecretary Of War Robert Patter-
son recently testified that money-making
corporations b.. the end of 1914 will have
the equivalent of a postwar reserve OF
more than $4,000, 100000.
This is a greater sum than the entire
national income in the last year OF the
Hoover administration.
The corporations have been carefully
outstanding their huge war profits, con
cealing them in many ways from the taN
collectors and holding them in reserve
rather than paying them out IN present
dividends.
From 1911 to 1913 they accumulated
Montana labor news., 1944-01-13

almost II billion dollars in undistrlbuted
profits. and money-making corporations
alone have piled up about 10 billion dol
lars since 1939-all of which is waiting to
be divided among the stockholders after
the war.
In addition, Congress has provided
that even money already paid in wal
taxes may be refunded to the corpora
lions after the wal, if they suffer losses
then.
By the end of this year, there will be
a reserve of 26 billion dollars In the
Treasury to guarantee security plus to
American stockholders after the war
virtually guaranteeing them normal
profits for two full years.
Contrast this government-guaranteed
security for well-heeled coupon-cllppers
with the CHASTITY insecurity that at all
times casts its shadow over American
working people and looms particularly
threateningly in the postwar years.
The social security laws provide only a
minimum of subsistence or less for a linn
tied period and for a limited number OF
workers.
Even the extension of their cOverage
and the expansion of their benefits for
which the CLIO is campaigning will still
leave plenty Of insecurity for millions III
periods of depression and dislocation.
WHY then should not the profit-rich
corporations, out of their plentiful re
serves, be required to show some com
parable consideration for the workers
who make their profits possible as they
show to the stockholders who garner
them in?
Aside from the security and peace OF
mind it would give to workers assured OF
at least a minimum living wage the veal
around a guaranteed annual wage WoulC
also serve as an inducement to corpora
tions to maintain continuous production
and avoid the alternating PUSHES and lay
offs that cause so much economic dislo
cation.
1t would mean continuous purchasm.
power and better business for all IN III
dustrial communities.
This is a proposal that should enlist tn
active support not only Of working peopl
and of servicemen but of all American
who hope to see a greater degree OF ma
tional security and prosperity in the post
war years.

IN PROSPECT
By LEVERNE HAMILTON
WHAT is SOCIALISM?

IA ~
In preceding chapters we have ana
lived briefly it is true) a few of the
glaring defects and failures Of the
neutrality-suspicious. capitalist sys-
tenn of "Free Enterprise" With that
system the socialist Production for Use
system is waging eternal economic war
and since students of the evolutionary
process (along with many others who
have not examined the process analyt-
icaly) feel that a transition is an in
evitable outcome of World War II, it is
advisable that we examine the socialist
idea with a view to deciding whether or
not such a system is adaptable to our
nation with its ideals of freedom, de-
mocracy and individual liberty.
To arrive at such a decision requires
not only that we understand clearly
what socialism is but that we analyze
carefully such approaches to socialism
as have been made, or reported to have
been made, estimate their sincerity and
catalogue with strict impartiality the
benefits or detriment to the people af-
fected.
Let us understand thoroughly that
SOCIALISM mean she SOCIAL (%univer-
SAID OWNERSHIP, and DEMOCRATIC
MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF
the MEANS OF PRODUCTION AMI
DISTRIBUTION.
With that definition firmly in minC
we may proceed to analyze Intelligent.
such approaches to Socialism as are re
ported to have been made, determine
with considerable accuracy whethe
those approaches have been voluntaril
made, as in the case Of Russia, or mad
under pressure of necessity (NUDl
EEI). For this voluntary or involun
tary approach indicates with unerrin
accuracy the sincerity or ~insincer1ty Q
those making the approach and hkewis
gives the student an illuminating vie'
as TO whether the maker really desire
to advance the cause of humanity G
merely to DISCREDrT THE SOCIALIS'
IDEA in the minds of careless observer
First of all let us dispell the false illu
sion chat still exist in the minds
many that Nazi Germany ever was, {
even family approached the idea of
socialist state.
At the close of World Wa there WI
a strong socialist party movement
Germany led by men of the type of Ka
Liebknecht. This movement had bee
growing for years during the course
the World Wal and its sincerity is a
tested to by the persecution Of the lea'
ers of the movement by the Imperi
German government of Wilhelm II.
After the close of hostilities and du
ing the period Of military occupation tt
movement maintained its integrity b
gained little ground for the reason tn
world powers looked with great antipatl
upon the growth of any real Social
movement so conveniently situated
