PLATFORM OF NATIONAL PARTY In the issue of December 14th, The Journal gave an epitome of the po litical section of the proposed plat form of the new National Party which it is proposed to form from the following elements: Moderate socialist, trade unionists, woman suf fragists, probobitionists, progres sives, single taxers and other for wardlooking thinking citizens who have the welfare of the country and its people at heart. By epitomizing a clear idea of the industrial planks in the platform cannot be given so The Journal prints this section of the platform in full. PART 11. Industrial Democracy It is fundamental to industrial democracy that there shall be equal ity of economic opportunity and that the economic life of the nation shall be responsive to the people's will. As a result of the industrial development of the past century, conditioned by special privilege, B small minority of our citizens have come to control a large majority of our capital. The artificial monopo lies of transportation and communi cation, the natural monopolies of, land, lumber, minerals and water power, and the great bulk of the manufacturing machinery of the na tion are owned and controlled by this minority and are available to the workers and to the public only on the sufference of a privileged class of owners. Therefore we favor a policy of public ownership to be pro gressively applied to the organized industries of the nation. As steps toward the realization of this indus trial democracy we urge: (1) Extinction of Land Monopoly: Removal of the fundamental evil of land monopoly by taxation of its rental values, this taxation to be progressively increased and taxation of improvements to be gradually abolished. (2) Public Dwnership: Public ownership and democratic control of coal and metal mines, water power, natural gas and oil wells, steam and electric railroads, telegraph and tel ephone services, water works, light and power plants, terminal ware houses and elevators, and all other public utilities and basic industries whose operations * depend on fran chises, or that require large-scale operation on a non-competitive or centralized basis. i (3) Experimental Public Owner ship: In order that the efficacy of public ownership may be impartially tested in those industries in which its efficacy is now in dispute, we advocate a policy of careful experi mentation by the government in the public ownership and operation of representative industries, and espe cially those in which the necessaries of life are produced. We urge that this third class of government in dustries be conducted in every case in fair competition with those that are privately owned, to the end that the relative merits of public owner ship and private ownership may be separately and scientifically deter mined. (4) Private Industry: Industrial democracy aims not only to guaran tee equality of economic opportun ity, but also to encourage the fullest individual liberty and initiative in industrial enterprise. It is desirable that our citizens should be free to venture their earnings in the up building of new forms of industry, and the net incomes which result from such undertakings should not be regarded indiscriminately as un earned increment. Often such net incomes are but fair wages due for the useful experiment performed and the social service rendered. We do not object to the continuance of private enterprise in such fields so long as the gains derived therefrom are earned. (5) The Democratic Management of Public Utilities: The capitalist system, despite its many injustices, has developed two instrumentalities j that are of large economic value: The industrial corporation and the trade union. Any form of public ownership which should neglect those instrumentalities and give over the management of our industries to a mere political bureaucracy would arouse the well-merited opposition of all classes. Both the workers and the expert business managers of industry must be protected from un enlightened tyranny of public offi cials, and similarly the body of citi zens as a whole must be protected from monopolistic extortions on the part of industrial group*. The chief industries should be controlled by administrative boards upon which the workers, the managers and the government should all be repre sented. (0) The Farm Problem: The til ler of the soil is menaced upon the one hand by the prviately owned means of transportation, storage and THE LABOR JOURNAL marketing, and upon the other by constantly growing landlordism. Therefore we favor public owner ship and operation of all necessary means of transportation, storage and marketing, and we demand that land monopoly be removed by progres sively increased taxation of site rental values. As further measures for the bene fit of the farmers we urge (a) ex tension of the Federal loan law priv ileges to those desiring to acquire farm land (b) provision for ad vances upon crops of products in storage; (c) government insurance of farm stock and crops against natural calamities. (7) Abolition of Grain Specula tion: We favor Federal grain in spection under a system of civil ser vice, and the abolition of all boards of trade, chambers of commerce or other places of gambling in grain or trading in "options," "futures" or "short selling," or any other form of socalled speculation, wherein pro ducts are not received or delivered, but wherein so-called contracts are settled by the payment of "margins" or "differences" through clearing houses or otherwise. (8) Extension of Postal System: We favor the extension of the postal savings system, to the end that de posits may be received without limit and that loans may be made direct to the people on satisfactory security at the cost of service. We favor the extension of the Parcels Post to the point of fullest possible public ser vice. (9) Federal Incorporation: We believe that for the better protec tion of the public all private corpora tions doing interstate business should be chartered by the Federal Govern ment. (10) Labor Legislation: 1. We hail as one of the import ant recent developments of indus trial democracy the achievement of union labor conditions in industrial establishment engaged in govern ment work, whether such cstablish mets are owned and operated by the government or by private contrac tors. This is sound social policy and we favor its extension to all work performed by or for the gov ernment. 2. We urge that upon all boards or commissions created for the man agement of publicly owned industries or services, or for the supervision of private enterprises,' the workers shall have adequate representation. 3. We favor the progressive shortening of legal workday In keep ing with the increasing productive ness of machinery, and securing to worker a rest period of not less than a day and a half in each week. 4. We favor the protection of the woikers by governmental insurance against sickness, injury and death; together with maternity benefits and eld age pensions. 5. We favor a more rigorous and effective inspection of factories, workshops and mines, for the better pi otection of the workers. (». We favor the adequate pro tection of children by the enactment and rigid enforcement of thorough going state and Federal child-labor laws. 7. Wo favor forbidding interstate shipments of all products made by (a) children, (b) women employed more than eight hours a day or six days a week, (c) convicts under pri vate contract, (d) persons employed in uninspected factories or mines. 8. We oppose the invasion by the courts through injunction of the Constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech, of assembly and of con tract. 9. We favor the extension of the Labor Bureau System, to distribute labor in accordance with supply and demand; and the establishment of a system for placing settlers on un occupied lands, thereby relieving con gestion of population in industrial centers. 10. We urge the development of n-tiumentalities which shall guar antee to every willing worker oppor tunity to secure employment adapted to his capacities. PART 111 International Democracy We recognize the Republic of the World as the goal of international political development. As steps look ing toward and corrollaries of that goal we propose the following: (1) Abolition of Secret Diplo macy: We demand the complete democratization of our foreign policy and international relations. Reliev ing that the making of secret trea ties and agreements by governments without the sanction of their peo ples is one of the chief causes of in ternational misunderstandings and wars we demand that the Govern ment of the United States shall not make any treaty or agreement with any nation or nations except in open session of the senate. We further demand that in the councils of nations the Government of the United States shall urge that the sanctions of the peopfes shall be more essential to any treaties or agreements among civilized nations. (2) . International Policy: In the j interest of world peace and a higher ' civilization we demand that the rep resentatives of this nation in the councils of nations urge the follow ing principles: 1. The sea and all waterways flow ing into the sea must be open without hindrance to the peaceful navigation of all peoples. The duty of policing the seas must be made the collective function of the asso ciated nations. 2. All strategic ocean waterways must be internationalized and their protection be the function of the associated nations. 3. Prohibitive or discriminatory tariffs or taxes on trade and com merce and inequitable ' discrimina tions among the peoples of the va rious nations in the matter of fran chises, privileges and rights must be prohibited. (3) Foreign Investments: For eign investments should assume their own risks. They should receive no diplomatic or military support. The United States should refrain from becoming a guarantor of foreign in vestments. (4) International Organization:. We favor the creation of an internation al tribunal so constituted as to rep resent the weak as well as the pow erful nations for the settlement of disputes between nations, and the development of effective methods of enforcing the decisions of such tri bunals. We favor the formation of a union of the nations of the world for the purpose of enforcing international equality and the maintenance of peace. Try "BLUE RIBBON" Cigar, 6c. NOW WHEN THE CALL FOR MEN IS URGENT (By the Rev. Charles Stelzle) There are certain fallacies which most of us have come to accept as gospel truth. We are told that "one should always look on the bright side of things." But many things in this world have no bright side. What about the young fellows we knew ten years ago—bright, talented, with splendid prospects—slipping away into in temperance and degradation? Where is the bright side to this? What about the horrors of child labor, of disease and suffering due to ignor ance and sin ? "All things are for the best," we are told. This is repeated as though it were a text of Scripture. There is no such sentiment in the Bible. True enough, there is a teaching that when one is following out the pur poses of God in his life, then all things are for the best; but many things are not for the best—they are hideously bad. "Truth is mighty, and will pre vail"—this has been said with the assurance that every man who preaches the truth is sure to win out. It is true that the truth is mighty, and that it will prevail, but not necessarily here and now, nor in every individual's case. Truth did not prevail in Judea, in Assyria, in Greece, in Rome. All these nations went down to their ruin because they neglected the truth. Truth will pre vail, but not always the exponent of truth. He may be called upon to suffer. What does all this mean? Just this—it means that when there is no bright side to some things, when many things are not for the best, when to preach the truth means suf fering, there is a call for men— men with red blood and strong hearts—men who are willing to work and to fight for the right, who will be willing to help destroy those things which are not fur the best, so that the world may finally be brighter for every mau, vroman and child. The present war is challenging me n as never before. We are sure that we are right and that ultimately we must win. But we shall win only as men are willing to give them selves —and all that they possess. Col. Brice Disque says: "The Germans are still able to throw into the fight more airplanes than Great Britain, France and the United States combined." But the Germans don't have to contend with "Bad" Grammar and his bunch of sawdust autocrats. Smoke Chas. Sheets' CHALLENGE 10c Cigar.
