Many of those men a few years be-
fore would have tainted In a stock-
yards where nit tie were being killed.
For four years they have been in a
humJtn slaughterhouse, not only as
spectators, hut as part of the place.
It steeled these men. Many of them
contracted the undertaker's point « f
\u-\N towards life, a fatalism without
fear.
Kxperlewee In battle taught them
the meaning of the word "force."
They discovered that the individual
was only important and efficient when
lie acted in concert with a great group.
Kver.vthlug depended upon team work.
Men learned that a group of tnen
working In harmony, with nerve mid
rifles with fixed bayonets, could do
wonderful things. They could take n 11
objective. In other words, take the
on iuiv thing they wanted and needed. When
these men cauie back Into civil life
and took "ff kluikl and put on oyer
nils, the takiug <«fr of the khaki aud
the putting os of mufti did not erase
from their minds ibis lesson the war
bad taught them.
This lesson has borne fruit. The
men look at the employer as an eu-
emy. The employer thinks of tliena
ns a commodity. Hatred is cordial.
The men want something. Ttie.v tie-
iuaud it. The employer refuses.
Their objective is to get the thing
they want and need. The war taught
them there is a way, a weapon—Force.
To<lay in Europe men reason, "if we
can't get what we want, and need, we
must take it. We have the force."
Having grown habited to suffering. *c

In the labor movement of Kurope

direct actlou." "Direct action" is
| nothing more or les* than applying
1 war methods to peace conditions, it
wanted Job* was much greater than
the number of places available. The
reluming soldier seeking a Job wan
• •ffered a much smaller wage than h«
knew was paid for the same work
while be had been fighting. It in-
censed him. He figured that he had
given four years out of his life, had
come home tired and broke. He look-
ed upon the decline in wages as a
positive discrimination again-1 1dm.
Comparison Breeds Discontent.
Everywhere 1 have heard these uie i
say: "We are out of luck. The
bands played and we were applauded
when we left to ffrght. Wliil • we w «u
gone the wages went up. We don't
begrudge the men who stayed at
home the wages they got, but it's
damn funny that when we come buck
down go wages. The cost of living
don't go down. I guess we're out of
luck."
1 found two phrases Inseparable in
the speech of the discontented, "the
high cost of living;" "the profiteer."
Worklngmen with whom I tulUel
freely admitted that some of the high
cost of living was the legitimate i-
suit of the great demand for every
thing and the natural shortage, but in
tin same breath iliey insisted ill t
much of it was due to the mercenary
ghoulish profiteer.
The profiteer look blood money dur
ing the w orld's greatest tragedy. «I«■
exacted usury from the toiler a* I"
and the lighting man at the ti n:.
He drew dividends out < f tlie tear--
Mini wails of broken-hearted wo . m.
anfl fright stricken children. 1!
minted his gold out of agony, starvn j
tion, heartaches. He stands today
the .Tildas of the war, the most do
spised man of earth.
The profiteer is not an Kmfllshman
a Frenchman, Italian or American
He Is found in every country of the
world, a man without nationality,
without conscience, without humanity.
He is the pimp of civilization. He is
still on the Job.
The profiteer has given the United
States a terrible black eye. A com-
mon comment of Europe is, MThe
United States made money out of the
war." These people do not refer to
the money we made legitimately.
They point to the fact, a fact that
has been given great publicity in En
iope, that In August. 191 I, tiiere were

ing of the armistice It was est invited
