"Not only in our socular schools,

overshadowed by a mere teaching of

More Democracy in the Industries Is One Solution of
Present State of Unrest Answer to Many Let
fters Asking: "What Are We to Do About the
Present Situation?
By RAY STANNARD BAKER.
' Article IX..
Since these articles began appear
ing, I have received quite a number
of letters making substantially this
inquiry: t
"Well, what are we going to do
about it."
The clear recognition of the pres
ent conditions of industrial unrest,
and the real danger to America in
herent in them, is surely the best
foundation for making a new start.
Inv the letters I refer to, and in
talks I have had recently, another
attitude of mind is plain to see: that
while the situation L extremely dif
ficult it can and must be worked out.
One of the surprising things has
been .the number of different plans,
schemes, experiments,- panaceas,
contained in these letters. They
come from several parts of the
country and from various kinds of
people practical men, reformers,
ministers, radicals. Some show great
labor; some represent long and
patient experimentation; some shoot
wholly wide of the mark; some re
veal no knowledge whatever of
real conditions. But their sjfini
ficance ltes in the . exhibition they
give of exuberant thought, of sin
cere desire to meet the situation in
some constructive way. They seem
to me an expression of the confi
dent American spirt in the motto I
have already quoted: "It can be
doite."
, We know that we are in trouble.
We have the desire and the will to
find a way out.
What we lack are clearness and
unity of purpose in seeking a rem
edy.
Three Proposals for Solution.
Three main ways of approach to
a "solution" present themselves:
(1) That of the extremist? on
both sides; the "shoot 'em down"
program on the part of the intoler
ant employer, the "blow 'em up"
program on the part of the intoler
ant worker. Either way lies perdi
tion. . .
(2) That of a great mass of em
ployers and employes and of the
public as well who see the prob
lem dimly" (or some part of t),. and
who want really to find a construc
tive solution, but who think it can
be reached in some large general
way. , They want a quick, whole
some remedy that won't hurt much,
or cost much, or take much time.
They do not. yet' understand how
deep-seated, of how long diwation,
how enronic, the disease has be
come. For example, it appear viv
idly to some employers that in the
recent great strikes most of ths
trouble was caused by "foreigners,"
by "aliens" and "alien ideas." They
do not follow the extremisis in de
portation, but they do jump at what
seems to them a ready and whole
sale remedy: "Americanization.
Americanize these workers and you
cure the trouble!
On the part of the workers there
is a similar example of the desire
for a broad general remedy. They
believe that much of the trouble is
due to unjust laws, oppression by
judicial injunctions, outworn polit
ical methods, and propose a new
political party which will overturn
the old system or parts of it and
construct a new one by law.
(3) The third group is a much
smaller one as yet, but it is made
up of those employers and managers
and men who are beginning to see
the real depth and width and length
of the problem, and whose approach
Is based upon the patient method of
scientific inquiry guided by a spirit
of genuine good will. They strive to
know all the facts and to get at a
real cure through steady day by day
practice and experimentation in
shops and factories. These are the
men actually on the ground; not dis
tant financiers, nor distant labor
leaders, nor distant theorists. These
are the men who must get at a
modus vivendi or be ruined. The
work that some of these good-will
employers and managers are doing
is as fine and high as anything to be
found in this world today.
Campaign for Americanization.
Now. in this article and the next,
in order to ge,t at least two of the
more general remedies out of the
way first, I will take up the subject
of the present campaign for Ameri
canization as suggested by the em
ployers' end of the controversy; and
political action as suggested by the
workers. Both are valuable move
ments: our foreigners do need
"Americanization" and need it badly:
BEST STORES
D
and the workers do need political ex
pression, but we must understand
thoroughly what is implied by each
movement and how far it is intend
ed to go with it. In following ar
ticles I shall exhibit some of 'the
more intensive and scientific expert
ments and try to show how far each
is effective in meeting the trouble
for example welfare work, the shop
committee system, the method of
continuous arbitration as remarkably
practiced in the clothing industry,
the new science of management as
stimulated from the employers' side,
and the new impulse toward co-operative
enterprises among the work
ers. ,'
Consider now the subject of
"Americanization." I know of a
meeting held not long ago by a
group of business men in New York
City to discuss this problem. They
were deeply concerned about it. The
suggestion made in all seriousness
by the principal speaker was to have
a lame number of copies of the con
stitution of the United States print
ed and distributed. He said that
there was a Eible in practically every
hotel room in America; there ought
also to be a constitution. People
must eet back to the sources 1 At
another meeting I know of a speaker
suggested a wide advertising ot
American principles in the newspa
pers; said that it had been- already
adopted with great success in one or
two cities. Another plan provided
for a resurrection of the "four-min
ute men who spoke so effectively
for the Liberty loan campaigns dur
ing the war, in which American
principles would be presented in the
aters, schools, and so on in four
minutes. Other proposals, many ot
them very valuable so far as they
go, provide for the wide teaching of
tne Jingnsn language in nigni
schools. shoD schools and the like.
This1 is actually being done in many
places. 1
The "One-Language" Plants.
I know of one plant in Milwaukee,
a tannery, wnere wo loreign-oorn
employes recently completed nine
weeks' Instruction in the English
language speaking, reading, writing
and arithmetic, they hart an hour
every day for fivcdays each week on
the company's time and without loss
of wages. The results ,were excel
lent. There are said to be 500 in
dustrial (plants in America where
work ot this sort is Demg carried on
It is not only good for the workers,
but
it pays the employer to have a
e-lanzuaee" "plant. Certain cities.
on
like Cleveland, have begun serious
campaigns to teach fcnglish to lor
eigners, and there has been a wide
revival of interest in night schools
and adult schools.
There have also been many pro
posals to forward the same end by
law. ' In its report, after investigat
ing the steel strike, the senate com
mittee recommended a change in
our naturalization laws to require
"some education of all foreigners,
at least to the extent of speaking the
American language," and providing
that if they do not acquire this
knowledge within five years after
their arrival they may be deported.
All of these suggestions, though
some of them indicate an extraor
dinary failure to visualize the stu
pendous nature of the problem they
are attacking so lightly, are signifi
cant of one great fact and this is
the conviction that the "melting pot"
idea of America has failed, the idea
that merely being in America was
enough, by some kind of magic
hocus-pocus, to turn vast numbers
of foreigners of old and resistant
races into good Americans.
' A Starting Fact.
Consider this familiar and yet al
ways startling fact, that in the last
22 years, since 1897 the period of
the greatest expansion of 'American
industry over 15,000,000 immi
grants have ' come to America.
Twice as many people as there 'are
today in all Canada! A stupendous
migration I Unlike the earlier im
migrants, who distributed them
selves more evenly throughout the
nation, these later peoples have
tended to . settle in indigestible
lumps ' in the industrial regions.
Foreigners largely dominate the
great baic industries of the nation:
coal, steel, oil, textiles, the packing
houses and the clothing trades. We
have been so confident of the magic
of the melting pot, so busy making
money, that we were blind to the
fact that, instead of transforming
these masses of foreigners, Ameri
can instiutions were being trans
formed by them. After an inves
tigation of certain conditions in the
textile industry eight years ago I
wrote:
"American workmen with Ameri
can standards have largely disap
peared from the textile industry, and
even the solid English and Scotch
workers are now flying before the
immigrants from southern Europe,
who can, or will attempt to, exist
cn lower wages. The tendency is
all toward grading downward. The
danger is that these low-living,
hopeless conditions are becoming
the established mode of life. They
may become the typical American
conditions." .
There is, indeed, much to be done

with education, with the teaching of
English, with instruction in Ameri
can ideas, but these things barely
scratch the surface of the problem.
"When we get them so that they
can understand us, asks one, critic
pertinently, "wjiat are we going to
say to them?" '
Americanism has got to be learned
as the iriginal American learned it,
by practice, by great freedom to
talk, to read, to associate. One great
fount of Americanism was the New
England town meeting; represent
ing free association, free discussion,
common effort. But the masses of
foreigners in many industries are
prevented from having either free
associations among themselves to af
fect their own lives, or free associa
tion or co-operation with the man
agement to make industry more ef
ficient and productive. And in some
cases the conditions of their em
ployment are such that they could
pot possibly avail themselves of
such agencies of '"Americanization"
if they had them.
What Serbian Said.
I met a Serbian steel worker at
Gary, who said to me passionately:
"They accuse his of not becoming
Americans. When do we get time.
Can a man working in a blast fur
naceand anybody knows that ain't
no boy's job-12 hours a day, or
even 10 hours, get time to learn
English or learn anything else?
What in hell do they expect of us?"
They have, indeed, night Schools
in Gary and in other steel centers,
but as one teacher told me plain
tively, not many come for very long.
"They can't keep awake," he said.
Father Karihcy, a Polish priest in
Pennsylvania, bitterly complained
of the long hours and Sunday work
t the senate committee because his
people could not "have any religion."
He said regarding the Americaniza
tion schools:
"They arc not a very great suc
cess for the simple reason that the
men are overworked and they do
not feel like going to the schools
and depriving their families of their
company after these long hours.
Sundays they have none, for most
of them .go to work."
Faults of Unions.
In spite of all the faults and ex
cesses of labor unionism and they
are many I think no one who stud
ies the situation honestly can es
cape the conclusion that it is one of
the very greatest of all agencies of
Americanization for these foreign
ers: for here they really practice
free association, free speech, free ac
tion. Unionism today is almost the
only agency that is free from any
distinctions of race, or "previous
condition of servitude." I once in
vestigated a strike among the cloth
ing workers in New York. I found
in the union Jews. Americans. Ger
mans, Italians, Lithuanians, Poles,
and even Irish and Scotch, all workT
ing together in a common cause. No
other force tends more strongly to
secure the amalgamation of these
diverse peoples or to inspire them
with a common public opinion than
these unions. Today,sI believe the
unions in the clothing industry in
America, which are now co-operating
fully with the employers, are
doing more to hold their own radical
elements in check by the force of
tneir own inner public opinion
than any policy of outside force and
deportation on the part of the gov
ernment could possibly do.
the American elements in our
population arc fully as much in need
of training in Americanism as most
of the foreigners;, for Americanism
is not a language, but a certain f:-ee
and generous point of view,- it :s a
spirit; an attitude toward life; a full
acceptance of the idea that all men
should have free opportunity for the
development of thit best that ' in
them. It cannot look upon any man
as a mere cog in a machine, as do
those who believe in the commodity
theory of labor, nor yet as a ma
chine, as the early and orthodox
scientific managers seemed to do;
but he must be considered as a hu
man being. And in a considerable
part of American industry today this
kind of real Americanism is denied
the workers, and denied them by
Americans. It is the great funda
mental error of our system.
There must be, in short, a real ap
plication of the principles of Amer
ican democracy to industry a full
recognition of the right of those who
work, in whatever rank, as Presi
dent Wilson expresses it, "to partici
pate m some organic way in every
decision which directly affects their
welfare or the part they play in in
dustry.
What Hoover Says.
Herbert Hoover expresses the
same idea in another way:
"The paramount business of
every American today is this busi
ness of finding a solution to these
issues, but this solution must De
found by Americans, in a practical
American way, based upon Ameri
can ideas, on American philosophy
of life."
He says that the "primary ques
tion is the better division of the
products of industry and the steady
development of higher productiv
ity. There must be a better distri
bution of profits," and maximum
production "cannot be obtained with
out giving a voice in the administra
tion of production to all sections of
the community concerned in the
specific problem; that it cannot be
obtained by the domination of any
one element.
In short, there must be more de
mocracy in industry. No one auto
cratic element, whether the great
steel employers at one end of the
scale or the radical labor leaders at
the other, can be permitted to domi
nate; there must be a greater repre
scnation in administration, of all the
elements concerned, and there Vust
be a better distribution of the prod
ucts of the common toil. This is
the true Americanization of indus
try, and it is the only method by
which production of goods, now the
greatest need of the world, can be
stimulated.

PAULIST TALKS
OF DIVINITY OF
JESUS CHRIST
Rev. B. L Conway x Says
This Is the Foundation
Dogma of the Cath
olic Church.
"What Think You of Christ," was
the subject of the discourse deliv
ered last night by the Rev. Bertrand
L. Conway, well-known Faulist
missionary of New York, at St. Ce
celia cathedral
The Rev. Mr. Conway and the
Rev. John E. Burke, also of New
York, are delivering a series of lec
tures to explain the doctrines of the
Catholic church. The sermons are
intended for both Catholics and
Protestants, it was explained, and
"intended for all seekers of the
truth and to answer ip a kindly
manner all their difficulties."
- Proof of 'Divinity
"Jesus Christ on the admission
of his bitterest enemies," the speak
er declared, "was a true speaker. If
he spoke the truth, he himself gives
the surest proof of his divinity.
"Christ testified that he was the
Son of God, eaual in all thines to
Jehovah, whom the Jews adored.
rte allowed the claim to be defend
ed by his friends without denial.
Christ appealed to the people to see
the works he wrought by his own
power as a proof of his divinity. As
an upright teacher, he could not
have acted in 'regard to his divinity
as he did unless he was divine."
Rev. Conway referred to the atti
tude of the Catholic church in regard
to Christ's divinity. "This has been
the foundation dogma of the Catholic
church, declared the speaker, from
Peter, the apostle, to Pius X."
He called attention to the fact that
while Protestants frequently as
serted their unbelief in Christ's di
vinity the Catholic church always
stood firm on the point.
Declaration to Jews.
"Christ is God for eternity, not as
two persons dwelling in one body,
but as one divine person," con
tinued the minister.
"One of the strongest proofs we
have in Christ's declaration to the
Jews when he sajd, 'I and the
rather are one.
Rev. Conway addressed a congre
gation in St. Cecelias cathedral yes
terday morning on "The Church's
Divine Mission. He will speak to
morrow night on Reason and
Faith."
The services will continue every
night throughout this and next week

Noske, German Dictator,
Saved Country in Crisis
(Continued From rage One.)
48 hours afterwards toppled kaiser
and kaiserism.
Noske went back to the mutinous
sailors at Kiel and pledged his word
to them that Germany would be a
republic in two days at the latest.
This pledge alone calmed the rebels
whose fury and determination were
bordering on fanaticism.
Kiel Is Saved.
Noske saved Kiel from being
sacked by the mutineers. . He organ
ized the revolution and led it into
sane and constructive channels.
Meanwhile the Prussian war minis
ter, bcheuch at Berlin, co-operated
with him by lifting the censorship
from all revolt news. Word of what
was gome on at Kiel and wilhelin
shaven was flashed from one end of
the empire to the other, thus whip
ping the nation-wide unrest into
flame and moulding it into an irre.
sistible demand for the kaiser s ab
dication. A few days afterwards
Scheidemann was chancellor of the
republic. Noske to this day has
kept the reins of law and order firm
ly in his hands and is universally
recognizea as tne strong man oi
Germany.
An amusing counterpart to this
story is an episode that occurred at
Braunschweig, where a real soviet
rule was established and held itself
for some time. There a little hump
back tailor, August Merges by name,
proclaimed himself "president of the
free state of Braunschweig (Bruns
wick)" on November 9. and shortly
afterward telephoned to his friend,
Herr lappc, a. saddler. Here is the
conversation as recorded by the
Magdeburger Zeitung's "star re
porter," who listened in on the wire:
Real Soviet Rule.
Merges Tomorrow, Heinrich, is
your chance. Would you like to be
come chief of police? !
lappe What? Me Chief of po
lice? Why, August, how could I?
What do I know about the police
business?
Merges Oh, never mind, Hein
rich, I am president, and I don't
know anything about the presiden
tial business. What do you say is it
a go?"
Tappe Well, if you think it s all
right, August 1 II try my hand at it,
Merges All right see me to
morrow. The next day the good people of
Braunschweig saw by the morning
paper that the aristocratic police
chief, Van Dem Bussche, had re
signed" and that he had been suc
ceeded by Heitirich Tappe.
The humpback tailor's regime
governed the former duchy of
Brunswick four months.
