THE EMBRYO INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY.

“ Despite all this, how r ever, the modern wmrking class is a mighty factor that is growdng in strength and clearness. Every once in a wdiile it bestirs itself with a vehemence and a pownr that causes society to tremble lest it collapse. Thanks to the giant organisation of capital that has given rise to the giant of labour, the working class is being taught how to unite as never before. When labour folds its arms society is paralysed and starves. Why, then, should not, in all justice, the working class dominate society? Why, in view of its stupendous social character, should it be the submerged of society ? Labour is asking and answering these questions, in its owm w r ay, regardless of capitalistic institutions, State, or Government. The character of the questions and the answers are not always clear to labour itself, which acts instinctively, under the pressure of economic forces, and in accordance with their evolution.” —“ The Trial of a New Society.”— Justus Ebert.
