The piece argues that the labor movement links longer working hours to diminished wage purchasing power, tracing wartime cuts to a proposed 36 hour week and a 44 hour baseline. It notes diminishing returns, wage effects, and worker power, urging industrial action through collective labor.
A fragmentary discussion critiques intellectuals within leftist movements, noting expulsions and debates over ideology. It questions sincerity among radical thinkers, cites figures like Trotsky and The New Republic, and comments on the influence and reach of intellectuals in shaping revolutions and publications. It hints at internal tensions and the allure of universal yet selective support.
The piece contrasts a critic who imagines social upheaval via red tides across Fifth Avenue with comments on bourgeois apathy. It notes basement intellectuals revel in gore, while parlor folk avoid direct threat until it harms home or family, causing a class split as Toft Wingers lose patience and drift from the ranks.
The Massachusetts senator urges inviting a Filipino delegation to the Paris peace conference to plead for independence though critics warn the effort would waste time and fail to alter the outcome. The piece argues the Philippines face internal and external risks, including potential disorder and friction with Japan, and maintains U S trusteeship is essential to stability and progress.
The article reflects on the secrecy surrounding peace making and the Fourteen Points guiding postwar settlement. It notes that while the points aimed to bind enemies in mutual understanding, leaders faced distrust of Germany. The President yielded to facts, with the points serving as a flexible, uncharted framework rather than a fixed charter.
Clemenceau and Lloyd George argued about commitments in shaping postwar peace. The German reading differed from Franco-British, influencing the U.S. stance. The President adopted the Franco-British view, enabling broad peace while disarming Germany, with the treaty offering guarantees for future peace beyond a mere scrap of paper.
The piece reflects on German leaders and public sentiment as World War I ends. It likens the Crown Prince to a reckless act and questions Germany’s future direction, noting sympathy but distrust for drastic tactics and forecasting limited hope for republican aims. It cites Scapa Flow as a gesture but doubts a united course.
A historical critique notes Germany’s armistice extension to June 28 and Admiral von Reuter’s sinking of the Scapa Flow fleet as a self created indemnity burden. It argues the act was a misguided attempt to dismiss a bad investment and that Germany will pay twice for parts of Tirpitz’s fleet, with penalties to be weighed in the postwar settlement.
The piece argues that ratifying the peace treaty without reservations clashes with the push for a league of nations. It contends that if the league is essential to save Europe, European powers would accept terms protecting American interests, making reservations unnecessary. It questions claims that others won’t allow the covenant to be construed US way.
A curious note reports ninety five thousand dollars worth of attar of Yooses arriving concealed in a su ngoose. The article plays on the notion that a small package like a dozen eggs can disguise a much larger value.
A critic argues against Gorky and Pravda praising revolution while warning that negative phenomena accompany the rise of a new state. He contends the proletariat bears responsibility for rowdyism, notes education gaps, and doubts the party decrees’ roots in working class actions. He distrusts former slaves turning despots and foresees a bleak feast of power.
A letter from Captain Herman L. Dowd of Camp Covington, written from Marseilles, France, urges Congress to authorize and fund large national cemeteries in France for American war dead. He argues these cemeteries honor shared ideals and promote peace through arbitration, with graves of Americans and allied troops to remain as reminders of sacrifice and liberty. He cites Beau mount, Romagne, Thiacourt, and other sites, and praises Franco American cooperation in the war effort.
Joseph Jablinower writes from New York on June 16 1919 that teachers unionization has surged since 1918. The American Federation of Teachers expanded from twenty locals and about 3000 members to ninety three locals and over 10000 members, with expectancies of 15000 as schools reopen. He cites opposition from authorities but argues democracy in education and teacher representation drive the gains.
The Baltimore American discusses redirecting the unexpended belligerency of returned soldiers. The piece examines the challenge of channeling wartime energy into productive postwar avenues and civic stability.
A fragmentary extract discusses Prudence Brandish's critique of baby talk in parenting, asserting responsibility on both parents and children. It parodies overbroad use of a single word “but” to illustrate misapplied language, then shifts to light anecdotes about Johnson-era descriptions and a misquoted Vernon Castle text, ending with a note on early reviews of new technologies.
Isaac Don Levine reports that the Russian Soviet wage scale splits workers into twenty seven categories with graduated gaps. Despite ideals of equal work, unskilled labor earns under one third of a manager’s pay, reflecting concessions to experience and managerial ability. The piece argues the wage scale yields to human nature and business needs.
