EDITORIAL

Organize When the Greeks gave a big party (not meaning the And Save little Homers who run the candy store on the corner, but their ancestors, the ancient Greeks) they had a way to keep the merry-makers from forgetting that they lived in a world of trouble and change. They did this by bringing into the banquet room on a tray a hideous human skull with bare jaws gaping. Now in a sense, the JOURNAL has adopted this practice this month. It has sought to remind Electrical Workers that a period of depression lies ahead. Not that Electrical Workers need a reminder, and not that we like killing what little joy one may get out of Coolidge pros­ perity. It is rather in the hope of helping, of cautioning, of support­ ting. We have come to believe that in organization, and then more organization, and in saving wisely, lie the only hope of combatting the next bad cycle, which is bound to come.

Forward, Announcement of a nation-wide organization campaign Labor by the Executive Council, American Federation of Labor, should bring a thrill to every union heart. Modern methods of campaigning have been adopted, and every agency is to be utilized to save America from industrial peonage.

So why not a Bunk Button Club to award a bunk button (picture of a man standing on his head) to the fol­ lowing candidates? The business agent who makes long. reports and who reads and talks his members to sleep. The bore who is always telling how they did things in some other town. The deep thinker whose answer to a question is always: "Yes­ and No." The boob who doesn't know there is an army of stool pigeons in the Labor Unions. The "intelligent" man who says high wages hu~ business. The brother who thinks the average business agent has a soft job-that the life of a labor official is peaceful and carefree. The employer of children who never misses church. 'The preacher who says Heaven will take care of the working girl. The ignoramus who doesn't know that low Union dues always mean weak organization, low wages and rotten conditions. The wiseacre who says the workers are hopelessly ignorant, but who does nothing to educate himself or anyone else. The sick-minded fellow who thinks the social revolution is just around the corner. The dizzy brother who thinks International officers take delight WORKERS AND OPERATORS 481 in interfering in the actions of his Local Union-that they have nothing else to do. The patriotic fellow who thinks all men are born equal, and that your rights are protected by the U. S. Constitution and the courts. The kind-hearted brother who thinks you can do things and get by without making enemies. The soft fellow who wants harmony so bad that when a fight occurs he ducks or tries to carry water on both shoulders without spilling a drop. The man who thinks the moon is made of Green Cheese-when his friends know it is made of Yellow Cheese.

Our Dawes wins the prize. He has become the great National Joke national joke. His antics are about as comical as those of the village actor or circus performer. He walked into the Senate like a roaring lion and sneaked out like a lamb. Now he is taking his "case" to the dear people-meaning the Rotary Clubs and Chambers of Commerce, where more food is consumed per stomach and more applause heard per hand than in any lumber camp or theater in the country. The House of Representatives is America's hot bed of absolute bossism. It's the graveyard of progress-the cemetery of states­ manship. It shuts off debate and tolerates no deliberation. It's the kingdom of ignorance and greed-the reactionary's idea of a perfect body. Bleating, shrieking Dawes wants the Senate to be the same as the House. He wants to strip it of its freedom of debate-the crown­ ing glory of the Senate. He wants, in short, a one-man Govern­ ment-the one man to be Dawes or Coolidge or someone like them. So you really can't blame the respectable diners for going into hysterics from pains in the head and stomach when the Tamed Ninny rides in on his oratorical steed.

Just The recent "attack" upon Hawaii by warships and sea- Twaddle planes, and its "defense" by the territorial forces, was a terrible bust. This "great" dime novel sham battle, with all its brass buttons and tom-toms and expensive smoke, failed for some reason to drum up any noticeable war craze among our trench­ digging citizens. They seemed to have been lulled to sleep for the present and cannot be roused just now by such silly twaddle of the War jingoes.

Mental Hardly a day passes that we do not meet or receive a letter Poison from individuals whose chief delight seems to be in pic- turing, in vivid details, the terrific sufferings or terrible wrongs which they claim to have had to endure. The Fates are against them. No one has suffered quite so much as they. Over and over they must tell a long, gruesome and boresome story-to the painful disgust of everybody, even a cripple. We are not without feeling; and we have our share of human sympathy. But such victims of self-pity-such dispensers of mental poison--chill us to the bone. 482 THE .JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL Life is hard enough and cheerless enough as it is without drag­ ging up all your gloom and pessimism and sorrows and passing them on to others who have enough of their own. . You can pass around gloom and despair just as you can pass around cheer and happiness. You have a moral right to ask a man to "have something with you," but you have no moral right to ask him to have some of your gloom, sadness and suffering and thus rlarken and poison his mind too. Just because your mind may be Hick (and a man's mind gets sick the same as his body) is no excuse for passing the disease around. Just show us the man who wasteR his nervous energy telling others all his personal troubles and pitying himRelf-who keeps busy trying to "get even" with somebody-and we will show you a Rhining example of complete failure, a failure everyone wishes to avoid. So why not keep our gloom stories to ourRelves? No one cares to hear them-not even our best friendR or relatives. Let's live in the future. It's far more profitable and less destructive.

Weeping Charley Schwab was quite a hero during the War days­ Charley a dollar-a-year man of great prominence and an open shopper of the hottest variety. His country always came first-after Charley got his. In 1920 he was accused of cashing in too much on his patriotism. When put on the witness stand he wept his way out-shedding a flood of tears that would touch the heart of a Chicago gunman. A reliable firm of accountants at that time charged that Schwab, with his Bethlehem Steel Company, was stealing many millions from the Government, and offered to prove the charge at its own expense if only given a chance to examine their books. Of course, this was not permitted, because Charley was a patriotic man of great influence. He made red-hot speeches every day for the Government. Now the Government itself charges that Schwab took $15,- 000,000.00 too much and has filed suit to recover it. The Govern­ ment says Charley was too generous-that every time he paid his steel workers a $1.00 bonus on War contracts he charged the Gov­ ernment $2.06 for himself. Yes, it's just the old story-whenever you scratch the back of a "patriotic" open shopper, you are likely to find anything.

Chasing It's almost amazing how busy Labor officials are kept an­ the Lie swering lies-lies of every kind and description uttered inside and outside the Unions. We can hardly turn around without running into a new lie or a vigorously old repeated lie. Indeed, it's a lean day in falsehood when a sizzling story can­ not be produced about the character or conduct of some Labor offi­ cial, or ~ Labor Union. And the silliest and crudest lies are the most popular. The bigger the lie, the crazier the lie, the faster it travels. And these lies are almost deathless. You simply cannot catch and kill them altogether. "A lie can travel half way around the world," said Mark Twain, "while the truth is getting its clothes on." Ingersoll put it this way: "It is almost impossible to overtake, and kill, and WORKERS AND OPERATORS 483 bury a lie. If you do, some one will erect a monument over the grave and the lie is born again as an epitaph." Ingersoll himself was a big target for the deadly lie. One popular tale spread by his foes was that his son had gone crazy from reading cheap fiction and had died in an insane asylum. Ingersoll's reply to this lie was amusingly complete: "1. My only son was not a great novel reader. 2. He did not go insane. 3. He was not sent to an asylum. 4. He did not die. 5. I never had a son." Of all lying, nothing seems to equal the reckless lying about Labor representatives-nothing, unless it be the patriotic lying that is so notorious when the war craze is upon us. But we know it is useless to complain. We expect to be lied about. It goes with our job. The lying brigades have tremendous endurance. They are never out of practice. They never tire of new inventions. Any sort of lie will pass-and the more l'idiculous and contemptible the lie, the better.

It Must C. W. Barron edits the Wall Street Journal. He also edits Be Nice "Barron's," a financial weekly. Mr. Barron recently wrote an editorial for the JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS, only he did not know he was writing it. Here it is: "Wall street generally is planning long and expensive vacations this summer. Since election brokerage profits have been very large and stock market profits equally satisfactory. Partners ate going to Europe and California and many of them are to be gone the whole summer. One firm has six partners; two of them are already in Europe, two others will be going in June and the other two are going in October to be gone until Christmas. Many California trips are being planned and private cars are being chartered for the purpose. In short, Wall Street is preparing' to enjoy its best vaca tion since the war days." , . We wonder what vacation the workers and ex-soldiers are going to get as a result of 1925 Wall Street speculation.

Big Business Historians state that the so-called Holy Roman Em­ Guides Reins pire, was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire. Similarly the United States Chamber of Commerce is neither a governmental body, a chamber, nor a commercial agency. Its nature is best revealed by a phrase of Senator Brookhart, "the N on-partisan League of Wall Street." Its sole function is political. The so-called Chamber has recently held a convention at Washington, D. C., where it was addressed by Chief Justice Taft. Throughout its sessions, effort was made to make it look like a semi-official body. This is all the more significant due to the fact that big business has practically taken over the Government at Washington.

A Funeral The Federal Trade Commission has stood formidably Notice against the encroachments of big business and monopoly upon the small business man and the consumer. Presi­ dent Coolidge recently appointed W. E. Humphrey, a retired big business man, to the Commission. Humphrey with two other reac- . tionaries have assassinated this important federal body. It is dying -and big business is crowing over its mutilated flesh. The Commis­ sion is virtually useless, save as a protection of unfair methods of big business, and should be, and is likely to be abolished by the next Congress. 484 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL The Burton K. Wheeler committed an unforgivable crime. Penalty Almost single-handed he exposed the pool of rottenness and corruption in the Department of "Justice." He drove that pace-setter in corruption, Harry M. Daugherty, from public office in disgrace. He exposed the deals and steals and wholesale bribery going on in the Atlanta Penitentiary. So Wheeler had to pay the price. He had to be broken. Daugh­ erty, along with his henchmen left in high places, whetted their knives for sweet revenge. All the fixers and reliables were rounded up. They delivered. Wheeler was indicted in Montana for "unlawfully" using his inftunce as a Senator with a Department of the Government. The charges were first heard by a Senate Committee headed by Senator Borah. Wheeler was quickly exonerated. He was next brought to trial in Montana, and it took the jury just ten minutes to render a unanimous verdict of Not Guilty. Even the Judge himself seemed astounded at the frame-up and that the Government should be a party to such a case. Still Wheeler is not out of the woods. He has not spent enough defending himself. He has not been punished enough. He must be driven deeper into debt. The gang are not through with him. He is to be tried again, according to the Department of "Justice," in the District of Columbia on practically the same charges. It is one of the most disgraceful and contemptible pieces of work ever known in the history of politics. No, it isn't very profitable to expose underworld politicians­ especially when they have control of the taxpayers' money with an army of stool pigeons and fixers of the Burns and Daugherty stripe.

Muscle Shoals Congressman Martin L. Davey has given his life Again to the study of trees, and all their attendant inter- ests, soil, etc. From this study has arisen a view of human civilization worthy of every citizen's consideration. Civili­ zation, says Congressman Davey, is but a story of man's search for fertile soil. When the soil decays, man must pick up his tools and go in search of new fields, or by necessity perish. The great treks of antiquity were but such searches for fertile soil. From this intensely interesting view it is but a step to a more immediate practical problem. American civilization will be no ex­ ception to this historical law, unless Americans can replenish the nitrates in the soil artificially. Hence the need of development of a nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals. "And the only logical way," writes Congressman Davey to this Journal, "to handle the Muscle Shoals project is by government operation."
