P TllCltH Is an thing like a "ii volution"
romlng In lire it Ilrltaln after the war 11
will bo the fault of the stitcsinen
To put It tried, ou cannot go to Hie mil
lions of workers and b,xy this It a war for
democracy without giving tliem "furlousl to
think" nbout Industilal clemocrac. Aou can
not ask them to share oui perils (assuming
that ou are not a worker ourself) without
leading them to believe that they ought to
share our pleasures. You eaijnot talk about
the brotherhood of tho lienche.t without lis
tening to them talk about tho brothel hood of
the forge anil the shop and the craft
AVIth all the pioblenit ot organization, re
adjustment and concentration nlread on
their nimds, Americans might well ask to
bo spared any account of Ilrltlsh domestic
problems. Hut there Is a ccitaln driving
liovver In problems of labor which takes them
overseas, and Americans who aro concerned
about the future must realize that If the In
dustrial change which Is developing in Hug
land comes to tho'full. It will hive an enor
mous effect on America.
Tho bioadcst line, the most Important fact,
Is not that labor la more powerful and Is
more likely to get what It wants. That is,
b this time, a well-worn platitude If it
wears ntucli longer It ma get frayed and If
seveial million soldiers aie turned looso on
tho labor market after the war tho platitude
may become a lie
No. The significant thing Is not that labor
It likely to get what It wants, but that labor
wantb'soniethhiB different from all Its earllei
demands, something which tlio most piiiian
throplo havo not dreamed of giving. The
now orientation of labor Is In llio direction
of democracy, aid In practle this means
that what labor wants now Is not a greater
share In the product, ot Industry, but a
greater share lu tho control of Industry,
Control Is the keyword to tho new agita
tion. Thu workers do not want more money
doled out to them In bonus e stems. They
abhor profit-sharing. The name of "welfare
worker" Is anathema to thcni. AVhat they
want Is to run the shops in wiucn iney
work, to determine tho comllllons nnd tho
hours of labor, the methods and tho ma
chinery. And after they control tho shops
they want to control the whole Industry.
I will mention two slgnlHrant Indications
of this new spirit. The National Guilds'
league Is out for the Vvhole program: the
workers In any Industry are to control that
Industry, subject only to agreements made
with all other Industries. That Is, the
leather workers will decide what to make,
how much of it, at what price to sell and so
on. Hut they will have to come to certain
agreements with the chemical makers and
the lallroads. (The precise 'machinery for
this agreement is. Interesting but not im
portant.) Ono would think that such a revo
lutionary scheme would not recommend it
self to the "stolid-British worker." Yet there
are two definite indications that It does.

Upon tlie assembling or uongioss on mo

spend a da or two with Senator Qua, and
while theie advised him of the ambition of
Rtoklcy and the linking of McManes and
Leeds, which was likely to lucluilo that at
pisslon and ltowan. As Sloklej' never liked
Quay, and Mi Manet was Ioal to him end
b tho accident of circumstances that
benefited him personally and politically,
Senator Qua said "if tho plant ot Stoklcy
woik to alignment It would mean four )ears
of antagonism, ominous to the Senatoi from
Heaver"

I had to piopose to dlsslpito the fog, my
