Are we rapidly crystalizing upon another such, So called," demhocracy? A real demo- eracy is where every man is 'free and equal" as free as the children in a home which is the unit of the state, as equal as the children in a° home, big or little, strong or weak, educated or uneducated, they are all free In their father's and mother's '{ with great celerity." home; free 80 long as { they do not enfringe. upon {the rights of any other of the i children, and equal to all the privi- ledges of the home, including the family inheritance. What would we think of the big brother who grabbed everything and made his little brothers and sisters slave to keep him in luxury. And though he claimed that he was the oldest apd wisest of the family circle, and ofily did it to increase production in the home so that he could have plenty not only for this home, but for other children in ether homes who spent their time fn the sat way producing' things for their big brothérs to exchange with him. I fancy I hear the father say to his son "Be just before you are generous. Spend your surplus, if you choose, for the children of others, but do not force your own little brothers and sisters to produce that surplus that you spend; while you are taking the bread,and milk, yes and potatoes too, right out of their hungry little mouths in oyder to get silken robes at fabulous prices to wrap your person in, and deep, soft carpets for your unwearied feet, and wonderful ¢hairs of polished mahogany and silk fof*gou to sink down in™=]s there anything better than freedom\?

He would wot! even save us at such.an awful cost as an interference with our free-will, For such a salvation would be a destruc- tion of the soul, and therefore a de- struction of the mind and of body. « "0, my- sons, O, too dutiful Towards God's not of ° Was not 1 enough beautiful? Was it hard to be free ? For behold, I am with you, am in you, and of you; look. forth now and see." Fredom is always of God and free- dom is.democratic always--but de- mocracy is not always a state of freedom; e.g., fn -the demoeracy across the line some weeks ago, three hundred and seventy thousand (870,000) steel workers in the vari- ous plantg of the United States were force. to mo back to work, i.e., they were given 'permission by Judge Gary and the strike committee, with- out- the slightest concession being granted. "It was a clearcut defeat," says the Toronto Star; "thousands of these employees must go back to conditions of employment which exacted from them the twelve-hour day, seven days per week. When the shift changes they work twenty-fous hours of continuous employment, Judge Gary, who represents -the United States, Steel Corporation had refused in any way to confer with the employees, so the strike was ing with the case was very simple," (says the Star, "Those who went back to work on the old terms, when he told them to, were satisfied work- ers. Those who "still remained out were Bolshevists' and the 'Star" goes on to say "the men who went back to work, perfectly satisfied," accord- ing to Judge Gary, 'have good reason to be somwhat cautious in giving ex- pression to dissatisfaction, as a very thorough supervision system exists there, and men who express' views with which the management di a have a tendemgy to lose thetd jobs The Star con- : Now, where we join fssae with the this most excellent editorial 1s that he seems to regard the Judge Let us answer the imaginary ques- ] of the universe thought so highly of |. the | called.

"Why then," you. may ask, "did the United States Steel Corporation al- low Judge Gary to treat those 370, 000 employees in this arbitrary and heartless way?" Well, the Literary Digest, of Jan, 10th, 1920, answers that question by saying "Industry has been depersonalized by the auto- matic tool." The automatic tool, in- vented by some genius, the son of sofis of some excellent steel workers, nodoubt, has been brought up by the capitalists in the steel industry and {80 they can dispense. with a large | percentage of labor, and almost all body of | Pas " THE DAILY.

'They can produce more, and become much richer with the help of a few unskilled laborers, haps, a few Chinamen, Mongolians, ete., than they could before with large bodies of skilled Jaborers. 1 couldn't help wondering, when I read that article on "Depersonalizing In. dustry" some weeks ago in the Literary Digest, if the human race rich capitalists and a large number of automatic tools. As the eloquent Patrick Henry said, "We can only judge the future by the £." . very Look at the past: When Egypt went down, three per cent. of the population owned ninéty-seven per cent. of the wealth. The people were starved to death. When Babylon went down, two per cent. of the popu- lation owned all the wealth. When 'Persia went down, one per cent. of the population owned all the land. When Rome went down eighteen hundred men owned the world. ' One of ouf Toronto dailies, report- ed an American speaker, some weeks ago, giving an address before one of the big clubs in Quebec, as saying; Unskilled labor does not deserve any- thing moré than a bare subsistence. What right bave such to complain; if they have food, clothing and shel- ter; they are getting all they have a right to, or somgthing to this effect. It seemed ® hard saying to us, even then, though we did not know how rapidly skilled labor was being ren- dered unskilled by automatic' tools "Industry has been depersonalized by the automatic tool," says the Liter- ary Digest." and women and children, and per-| wouldn't finally consist of a few | | and apprenticeship were no longer necessary in making many articles for a wholly unskilled laborer could, with short practice, turn out a pro- duct of a quality equal to the bes\ work of the old-time moulder, "The prindiple spread quickly to other applications in complementary trades. .....are we to consider the automatic principle 'a permanent force in industry. Or is it only a new and tempgrary element...... The #nswer may perhaps be .found best in a question. Would we dis- pense with the automobile, or the five-and-ten-cent store, etc, ete. ? These and many other comgnodities of modern life depend ultimately up-. on the principle of the automatic tool. The Iron Man multiplies the power of the human man without need to eat, sleep, or rest. The price exacted is that the human man shall become ag but a cog in the functiofi~ ing of the Iron Man." Notice the capital letters used in the spelling of the Iron Man and the small letters in the human, the mere cog in the wheel of industry. Is the Iron Man to be the big thing in industry that the American capitalists are always talking about; the *'super-man' as it were, and the "human man," the larger part of the human race, but unskilled labor that has nothing to complain of if he only receives a bare subsistence. "Under modern Industrial condi- tions," (we quote from a Teronto Star, March 24th) said Pritchard, in discussing the plight of the work- ers, "skilled man has become a mere appendage to a machine. Machinery has taken the skill away from labor With the advance of | and the skilled worker becomes un- the molding machine, long training | skilled.

We each have an equal right to the family inheritance, No older brother, be he ever so ef- ficient in seizing the efficiency of others and making it serve his ends, has any right to put an Iron Man in our place and elbow us out jato the cold to starve and freeze. "For wat if trade sow cities like shells along the shore, Or thatch with towns the prairies broad, with railroads froned o'er, Or flash the swift-winged message o'er wires from sea to sea, It she forge thereby the fetters of America the free, If her Juggernaut of commerce o'er a helpless people ride 3 And invention's crowning triumph' goes to crown a Pluto's pride."
