EDITORIAL
Dope Suppose an American corporation were formed to carryon a wholesale opium business with China. Suppose a chain of steamships were chartered, storehouses erected in San Francisco, and great piles of the deadly drug heaped up ready for distribution. Then suppose that this vicious narcotic was being sold to big em ployers in the United States to be handed out to the workers to make them groggy, to paralyze their minds, and to prevent them from becoming self-respecting, self-supporting citizens, what would you say and do? What would respectful citizens everywhere say and do? Well, there is just such a corporation in operation, and for just this purpose-to peddle dope to American working men, but it is not opium! The National Foundation, Inc., does business at 1 Madison Ave nue, New York ,City. The National Foundation, Inc., in turn owns and operates the International Educational Society, and the Inter national Educational Society is in the dope peddling business, ac cording to a late issue of the New Republic. Agents are sent out by this "educational society" to big employers of labor. These agents in substance say: "Give me 8 cents a week for every workman in your plant, and we will send him 'Man to Man Talks.' After taking this wonderful course we guarantee your worker to be a rabid booster of the 'American Plan' of Labor, to be agitator-pro of-in short, a regular dope fiend." The Mergenthaler Linotype Company, and the Loose-Wiles Bis cuit Company are among the big corporations that have fallen for this high-powered sales talk of the new firm of Bunkum, Chicane, and Dope, Inc. The dope pamphlets peddled by this firm of propaganda artists carry on their beautiful first page cartoons, showing, one, the noble workman, Joe, who never smokes, who conducts himself Sundays so that Monday goes by without a yawn, who is always at work before anybody else, and who quits his bench only after the whistle has blown-a model boy; two, the boss, noble, patriotic, benevolent, a red-hot 100 per center; and three, the agitator, with a twisted, dirty face, sullen, dangerous. Of course, the idea is: "You be like Joe, and have hopes of some day being as fine and noble as the boss." And the amazing thing about this twaddle is that it seems to take. Carl G. Pfeiffer, manager of Fredericks, Inc., Peekskill, writes a patent medicine testimony for "Man to Man Talks" in the manner of "Dear Doctor, after using three bottles of your wonderful panacea upon my workmen, the workmen are all asleep, and the factory is still there." Manager Pfeiffer says in his letter: "We have been using National Foundation Service for a representative list of our employees, who are mostly women, during the past eight months with complete satisfaction. During a period when business is undergoing readjust ment, when workers are laid off for part or all of the time, when a wage-cut is 426 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL deemed necessary, we consider your educational propaganda served in their homes particularly valuable. At such time, when conditions cause dissatisfaction and unrest, your literature constitutes a natural antidote, making the workers less susceptible to the radical influences sure to be exerted upon them."
The American worker is subjected to all kinds of indignities: to injunctions from the mouths of constitution-breaking tyrants; broken heads from the clubs of paid thugs; annoyance from the gum shoe "detectives" of the Burns and Baldwin-Felts crowd; lies, in sults, from the American press. But his intelligence has never been so grossly insulted as by the firm of Bunkum, Chicane, and Dope, Inc., 1 Madison Avenue, New York City.
Bossism vs. Bossism-the application of the theory that votes can the Primary be delivered by one powerful man in huge blocks- reached its flower in Pennsylvania under Boss Penrose. Penrose developed the political machine to its highest perfection. He became the god of the National republican machine. His machine in Pennsylvania was held up as a model for all other States, and the one ideal which seemed to quicken wheel-horses of the republican party-Lockwood, Adams, Daugherty and the rest--was to build up at Washington a machine as people-proof as the one Penrose had built in Harrisburg. Gifford Pinchot, Governor of Pennsylvania, smashed the Pen rose machine, and he did it through the Direct Primary. Without the Direct Primary Penroseism would still be riding the high horse in that great State, trampling labor, and all social laws under foot. That is why we listen with interest to what Pinchot says about the Direct Primary, just now, while all the oil-smeared romancers of the republican national machine are prating about killing the Pri mary. Ned McLean, editor of the Washington Post, close friend of Fall and Daugherty, has this to say about it:
"The Welfare of the United States demands strong and vigilant parties. The Primary can be dispensed with but political parties can not."
Of course, McLean and the rest of the gang want strong and vigilant parties without the primary-so strong and vigilant that the oil reserves and everything else can be stolen while the people are asleep and helpless. Now hear what Governor Pinchot has to say:
"I believe that the movement to bring back the old convention system is engendered by a deep-seated distrust of the people on the part of the so-called political leaders. They fear they will lose their power if the people are per mitted to decide their own political problems."
The voters of the country will do well to think over carefully the problem involved in the abolition of the Direct Primary. What can they put in its place? Surely not the old days of the vest pocket conventions! No doubt, in those States, where the workers are most active politically,. they will work out a plan by which they can name their own candidates at the primary polls-not the bosses! WORKERS AND OPERATORS 427 Carpentier and Paris, France, is 3,500 miles from Chicago. Georges a New France Carpentier, ring idol of the Paris boulevards, on his way to Michigan City to box Tommy Gibbons, made a record-breaking trip across the Atlantic. He left Paris Wednesday noon, lVIay 6, for Cherbourg, leaving that port shortly before midnight. At noon the following Tuesday-only 144 hours later-he arrived in New York .City-and a day later he was in Michigan City sparring with :1n American boxer. That brings France mighty near to the heart of the U. S. A. But Paris has been much nearer to the heart of the U. S. A. much nearer to the worker on the job, and the farmer behind the plow-than six days' distance. What the government of Poincare the French steel trust government-has been doing for the last five years has affected the man on the job in America much more than he imagines. Poincare has followed a policy of bitter and black reaction. He has outdistanced Gary and Morgan in the United States in his bourbonism. He has kept alive the animosities of war time, kept Europe in a turmoil, and pursued a policy of imperialism worthy of a Napoleon. It is significant, therefore, that the people of France went to the polls May ll-five days after Georges left Paris for Michigan City and swept the Poincare government into the scrap-heap. The peo ple of France-the peasant farmer and the city worker-spoke in no uncertain terms. They said: "Weare sick and tired of this lying, corrupt, vicious, imperialistic government of war-loving scoun drels. We want a new deal all around." These four interesting facts stand out clearly. First, the peo ple of France won the election despite the newspapers. Every big newspaper, as in America, was on the side of Poincare and reaction. Second, the loan of $100,000,000 by Pierpont Morgan, several weeks ago, did not bribe the people of France into voting for reaction. Third, the new French government will take a position about where the British labor government stands; and will bring Europe nearer to peace than at any hour since 1918; trade in Europe will im prove, bringing some help in time to the American farmer. Fourth, with Poincare gone, the United States has the most reactionary gov ernment in the world today.
Another Another good man gone wrong. Another executive Goes Down that· abused his power has laid down the gavel and the pen and entered the solitary confines of a tiny cell at a federal prison. So loudly have the drums of publicity beaten at Washington that they have drowned out, for the time, .the sobs of shame and guilt that Governor Warren L. McCray, of Indiana, emitted as the federal jury at Indianapolis found him guilty of using the United States mails to defraud. But though Governor McCray's little drama is minor as com pared to the stage displays of ability by Fall, Daugherty, Denby and Burns, still it is no less important-important if only to stress the fact that this business of plundering the public by private individ uals in high public places has taken on the dimensions of an epidemic. The plunderers, imitating the course of American business, refuse to operate on a small retail scale. They insist on doing a wholesale business; no sooner than in office they hurry to make use of their 428 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL positions for private gain. They make looting an institution, a mere adjunct of private getting. Governor McCray's case, though less sensational and not of the exact degree and kind as those of Fall, Daugherty, Denby and Burns, is still significant. It focuses attention upon the low ebb of public morals. It brings our minds back to the ever-present fact that the dog-eat-dog profit system, so glorified by our press, pulpit, school and public platform, eats its ulcerous way deep into public morality. McCray's case, like the others, again calls attention painfully and vividly to the need of a new deal all around, if American institu tions are to endure!
Lingering There are some diseases that attack the human body Illness sneakingly, and the deeper they eat into the organism, and the more tissue they destroy, the more optimistic the poor victim becomes. Such is the case of the present national (republican) administration. The bally-hoo boys continue to write cheeringly of the great man who occupies the White House. They speak glowingly of the promised recovery of lost prestige about next November, etc. But when a diagnosis is made, the case is almost hopeless. Where is there a normal person that does not recall the high promises of this "business" administration-this bunch of "super minds" who promised to do away with "wiggle and wobble." The bus~ness cabinet was praised as a super-cabinet. The dear people were tired of one-man rule, and now at last in the year of grace 1920 this group of best brains was to restore representative, honest and efficient government to the American people. But alas! who can forget Fall and Denby, who turned over the oil reserves to public plunderers, and Harry M. Daugherty, champion . fixer and pardon peddler; and Will J. Burns, his high henchman? And we still have Charles Evans Hughes, another leader of this brainy, honest and efficient "business administration"-who, as Sec retary of State, has forwarded the imperialistic schemes of Wall Street in Haiti; and has continued to encourage the few remaining survivors of the Czar's government-semi-officially recognizing a government that has been dead five years. Then there is Andrew Mellon-the Pittsburgh millionaire banker, shielded by the President-with his unexplained relation ship's with booze-runners and tax thieves. And there are other members of this so-called super "business administration," against whom many charges have been leveled. So the point is, the present (republican) administration is sick, very sick. It is not likely to survive. It is ill with a deep-seated malady, namely, that of turning public offices to the ways of private gain-and doing the job on a big scale.
A Course Many members of the Brotherhood will be interested in Speaking in learning that a short and simple course in speak- ing has been prepared by Vice President H. H. Broach, which is published and distributed by the Speakers' Service Bureau, Minneapolis, an institution designed to train and develop labor speakers. Brother Broach's qualifications for such a task are well known. He has had wide experience in speaking and from personal WORKERS AND OPERATORS 429 experience knows the troubles of beginners as well as the faults of those who feel they are finished speakers. Everybody has a tongue-and everybody has an instinctive de sire to move others to action and convince his fellows. And cer tainly there is a great need in the labor movement for such a spe cially designed course as Brother Broach has prepared. Men with good clear heads are often compelled to remain silent and allow ill-advised, disastrous actions to be taken, simply because they can not stand up and express their thoughts aloud. They have to sit an chored to their chairs while some one advocating something contrary to their views holds the floor. And it is a well-known fact, as the writer of the course says, that our members and others, often lose out in conferences. They are defeated, humiliated, and misunderstood, times without number, simply because they have not equipped themselves with the proper kinds of arguments, and because they have not learned how to talk convincingly. So we feel a real service has been rendered the whole labor move ment in bringing out this work. It is simple and understandable. It gives a definite, concrete and workable method, and is something that all of us can understand and use to great advantage. It is free from all high-flown, meaningless cant that fills most of the written matter that comes from the big profit-making schools. The price of this course is especially low and within the reach of everyone, and one of the most refreshing things about it is that it doesn't come from a class-room, but from the pen of one who experienced and went through the fire. The Speakers' Service Bureau informs us that Brother Broach's course in Speaking and the vast amount of speeches and addresses, and speech-making material that goes with it, are attracting wide' attention from educators, political leaders, and labor officials through out the country, which is indeed gratifying. Information regarding the course 'can be secured from the Speakers' Service Bureau, Duley Building, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

We Owe a Debt of Gratitude to the ELECTRICAL WORKERS' BROTHERHOOD
Ten years ago the Brotherhood gave a "green" boy a chance. He became a business agent, then an organizer, then an International Vice President. Today he is counted by critics one of the foremost labor representatives and speakers in America.
NOW IT I~ OUR TURN The Brotherhood gave H. H. Broach a chance-he "made good." Mr. Broach, in turn, prepared for the Speakers' Service Bureau "A Short, Simple Course in Speaking"-a model of simple, easy inRtruction. The Speakers' Service Bureau now wishes to thank the Union for its contribution, and offers each member a chance to do quickly what it took Broach years to learn. IN BIG DEMAND Men who can speak with force are in great demand. The labor move ment is crying for them. Locals want resourceful business agents, officers, and committeemen who are informed and can speak out convincingly. Your wife, your friends, your children don't want to see you stop growing. POSITIVEL Y EQUIPS YOU Ten lessons, simple, clear, easy, show you how to speak; how to deal with an opponent; how to speak on all occasions; how to move others to action. The new easy guide method positively removes all fear and gives confidence and force. It rids you of all nervousness and embarrassment; fits you for ready debate. No longer need you depend upon a faulty memory. It makes you more than a mere talker. You become a thinker, a planner, a doer. The Course is short. You get it all at once. It is designed for the person with little time. It doesn't require months to complete it. No padding. No dry-rot. A child can understand it. • A big Speech Book-200,000 words-five volumes in one-a whole library -goes with the Course. It contains all kinds of speeches; suggests live and interesting things to talk about. MEETS URGENT NEED The Speakers' Service Bureau-a labor institution-is founded on the conviction that men will equip themselves to be good speakers, if they are given the right kind of assistance. The Course, the big Speech Book, and continuous Membership in the Bureau, with all that it means, that is, personal assistance in preparing speeches and briefs, to all labor unionists and members of farmer and cooperative organizations, are offered at $14.00; to all others $22.00.
