to hang on?

Mr. Doe's employers.

Who are Mr. Doe's employers?

All the people in America who eat meat.

Of course if one had just come from Mars yesterday and was looking about
studying things, the first thing one would ask would be, Why do not the
people in America who eat meat, and who keep on Mr. Doe in his position,
at once mention to him that they wish him to look into the matter of the
two pairs of shoes a year?

Because the People Who Eat Meat--Mr. Doe's employers--have no way of
mentioning it to Mr. Doe.

If the People Who Eat Meat would but barely whisper to Mr. Doe it would
get his attention as much as a whole year's shouting would from his
workmen.

But the People Who Eat Meat in America have no whisper. In other words,
it is because Mr. Doe's employers are absolutely dumb, and Mr. Doe is
absolutely deaf to any one except his employers, that two pairs of shoes
are not enough for the workmen's children.

It is for the purpose of letting the People Who Eat Meat in
America--whisper and learn to whisper in this country that the new League
organized to operate as a kind of People's Advertising Guild or
Consumers' Advertising Club, with its national office in New York and its
local branches in ten thousand towns and cities, now offers its services
to all people who eat meat in America.

The employers of America have organized to do anything with their
business, and anything with their workmen, and anything with the country
that they like.

The workmen of America have organized to do now, and are deliberately
planning to do anything with their work, and anything with their
employers, and anything with the country that they like.

The new national League is now to be organized as the voice of the
American people, as the whisper of the will of the consumer in every
industry in America.

The people to get the attention of employers are the employers of the
employers.

Every civil war we are having in this country can be settled and the
attention of the fighters on both sides can be got, and the country can
work as one man in making democracy safe for the world, the moment the
employers of the employers whisper.

The way I would like to end this chapter--with the blanks filled in, of
course, would be this.

Anybody who wants to be a part of this whisper, who knows of any industry
he would like to see a whisper from the people tried in, or
