This is absolutely essential, because the same ruin now threatens our Industrial life that Trchfiy Phns Geal Labor Army (Continued from Page Five) and commanders everything de- pended. There, such workingmen learned to appreciate the importance of discipline, of responsibility, of the exact execution of orders, and the value of time. 'i hey will help us to introduce these qualities in our industrial , life- - - - Accomplishment, exact accomplishment, is the most important principle of military science, and we most apply this to the field of production We are not justified in taking the same attitude toward militarism . in the abstract that we took toward the military machine of the bour-geclass. There are two sides even to bourgeois militarism. In one aspect it is the culmination of class rule anchof the subjection of the toilers to the violence of the exploiters. In a society so organized that there are landlords and peasants, capitalists and proletarians, the military organization has its colonels ana generals, and also its oppressed soldiers. ' Economic depen dence here acquires a barbarous character, because the army exists to defend special privilege, and all the characteristics of the old army. An army- exploits technique and tries to bring the latter to the highest perfection. y For example, despite our our disorganized munitions industries produced a maximum under the direction of Comrade Rykov, because they were driven by the impulse-o- f war necessity- We could exist without tea, sugar, and boots, but we hadjo have cartridges. To be surtnere were days and months when our supply of cartridges was at the minimum, when this branch of industry was not organized; but now we have even a reserve, and this ' reserve is increasing. War is a difficult trade, in which a trifling error may cost thousands of lives and even imperil the existence of a state. Therefore, solidarity and pred-;ioare developed in that trade s 'o the highest point Some say that all this was toward destruction and -- t we are incapable of, conductive effort This is & verj mistake, Jake capitalism, :i you will observe how jt val-'- s administrators who have ' n through the school of war. , ho organized the best schools t Germany?

Comrades! There is still third problem which has been forced upon us by the course of events. That is the problem oi merging the existing array with labor- This means converting whole military detachments and whole armies into labor detachments and labor armies. The Revolutionary Military Soviet of the Third Army proposed to the Soviet of Defense to employ this army which, having completed its military task, had no more enemies to face, for a period as an army of labor, without demobilizing it or destroying its orgnization or sacrificing its military experience. After the army authorities and the industrial authorities had conferred over this suggestion, it was approved and its, execution was en- trusted with certain modifica- tions to the Soviet of Defense.

Working right men know that until they are given a voice their Interests will be without a spokesman and as a consequence will be neglected.
