REASONS FOR A REVOLUTIONARYMOVEMENT a

By B. E. Nilson

l)RllECrT A(CTION ON THE JOB

The 1. W. W. is now handling a literature inwhich the practical application of sabotage isamply explained and illustrated. I shall there-fore not deal with that phase of the question,but will bring to the readers attention a few ofthe general principles and conditions whichhave a hearing on the practice of sabotage.

The success of the revolutionary movementdelpends on the support it receives from the ,working class. We attract the workers to oqjmovement by means of our agitation and oureducational propaganda, but the permanent ,support we get from the workers dependslargely on our activity in the real struggleagainst the employers. The workers will sup- tioxrt us if they approve our actions and ourtactics; if they disapprove of our actions they 1will not only cease to support us, but will also 1meet us with active opposition. We muststudy the mental attitude of our class, in orderthat we may know what they will approve or4'OlIth4lln.

TIhe workers have a greater regard forhuman life than have the members of any otherclass. 'This i mostly due to a process of Iselection or elimination which has been goingon for centuries. Those of the workers whohad least regard for human life, were either4exterminated by the ruling class, or they madea lpnlee for themselves within the ranks of theruling class. This process of selection, coupledwith the natural hereditary transmission ofcharacter, have thus made a high regard forhuman life ione of the dominant characteristicsof the working class.

The workers also have a strong dislike forwanton destruction of property. They pro-,iuc.,l it. The creative labor they have em-Hxli(ed in this property gives it, in their eyes,a sentimental value which is quite apart fromits use value or its exchange value. The de-struction of property is distasteful to them,even when the property is used directly fortheir enslavement.

The prolperty owners took no part in the:ct.nal prodnuctive labor, and they value theproperty only as a source of profits which theyare ready to destrov whenever destruction isprofitable. They are as ready to plan the whole-sale destruction of property in a war betweennations, as they are to plan retail destructionfor the sake of fire insurance or to discreditstriking workingmen.

There is at story from the ancient wars be-tween the Greeks and the Egyptians whichwill serve to illustrate this situation. TheEgyptians were animal worshipers, and thedomestic cat was one of their most sacredanimals. A military genius in the Greek armyprepared for the battle by collecting all theavailable cats. These were turned loose he-tween the opposing armies when the battlecomnmen(ced, and the Egyptians were restrainedfrom using lHow and arrow, as well as fromcharging the Greeks, by the fear that theirEons(iene.s would he burdened with the deathof an army' of sacred cats. (f courns, tithe Greeckswon the battle.

'Th, 1 roi4'rty owners, wlho ruthlessly destroyliae anilI lriiJ'riiy whieI it serves thlCeir interest ]t d1, So, hl'v' a great adlvanltage over tlheworkers who have a high regard for lifte andiprojrty.

Thematerial that is spoiled I)y one is by anotherseparated from the stream of plroduct that goes

to the market. Each on etries to work as wlland as fast as the next one. The force of habitand the workers natural desire to show hisskill and efficiency, are 'the chief factors inmaintaining the efficiency of a shop, or a plant,or an industry.

The discipline which is enforeed by beasesand managers, and which is usually regardedas the only source of industrial efficiency, couldnot be maintained at all if it were not for theworkers natural tendency to follow the estab-lished routine and work at the accustomed rateof speed and in the usual way.

This force of habit can not be broken unlessthe workers have a fairly clear understandingof why it should be broken, and even then itwill not only be broken in proportion as thereis active discontent.

The workers must be taught the reasons forchanging their own habits and destroying theindustrial discipline, if sabotage is to be prac-ticed with any degree of success; and the par-ticular form of sabotage to be practiced mustcorrespond with the intensity of the discon-tent, in order to insure that it will be practicedby a sufficient number of workers to make itimpossible for the bosses to re-establish dis-cipline.

The immediate purpose of sabotage is to re-duce or destroy the employers' profit, butsabotage has a far more important permanentvalue; it tends to destroy the discipline whichis enforced by the employers.

ONE BIG UNION IN LUMBER INDUSTRY

Iy WV. ii. Levwis, the Tie-MakerMany people seem to think the tie-maker is

a walking mioney vault and when they sell him

anything they act in accordance with theirthoughts.

Yes, tliree or four dlollars per day soundshI,;, which would ihe true if it was so.

Now what are the facts?.1 few years ago one of the largest tie comn-

pari•',s in the world, gave us the followingfig',ures, or rather obtained the figures fromthem. I )on't a.sk 1hw. I would not tell you if

I knew. Anyhow they leaked out and canme

straight from headquarters.The'l figures are that the yearly average was

ten tiets per day pe'r man, the average wageIeing 1:: cents tlhe tie. This gives the man$40(5.6() per year.

I lere are sonme figures they did not give us.STe year's board at $1M.()0 per month $216.

This is rather low because when he moves froni

one ,jiI to another, which averages about threemoves a year, IIe eats in hotels and sleps in thesatile places.

Ilis carfare average $30 per year; expresson tools, $10(; he buys two kits of tools per

year, which is about $26; his doctor bill aver-

ages •l2; washing, $12; tobacco, $6. T"histotals $312-front $405.60. Leaves Mr. Tie-

I lacking Slave the enormous sum of $93!.)o to

buy clothing, shoos, etc., and hire rigs to haul

tools from stat ion to woods and back again.It is true lhe makes some times $4 a day,

but hlie generaly gets alout $2 per work day.lite looses on an average of two (lays per weekbecause of rain and the very nature of the

work snakes it impossible for him to put in afiull week as the work is exhausting.

'These figures are for thle South and are con-servative as they are for the unmarried tie-

maker. \\'lien we consider that one-third are

married and the average working class familyis five, we know the figures are not inflated.

It, is needless to say the tie-makers are un-

organized, as the above figures prove it?Yet von, the tie-miiakers, are absolutely neces-

ttaitteinance. ~SOIlo exception to this can hw

noted in gardening and fruit growing sections

near markets where less land is needed for anorganized industry. But in all that great northwhere most of the bread stuffs and meats ofAmerica are produced, either the machine ora machined system has forced the small farm-er, he he hired hand or tenant or small owner,into a manner of life that does not considerthe progress of civilization.

Those at work, as an average, can produceimaintenance for themselves only. For 15 years

before coming south I lived in the Illinoisgrain belt as a farmnner. I had opportunity t)see a large section, to know the condition ofothers and I had my own experience, bothnorth and south to help me in comparing andmaking conclusions. As I have been throughthe various stages of farm life, from a tramphunting a master, as hired hand, tenant, work-%g owner, I am not likely to draw on imagina-tion. I love the farm life, and there I proposeto live and die. Ever hoping and trusting thatthe faith of the many will crystallize into ac-tion, that the recompense to all farmers ofeither :ex will equal that of all other essentialworkers, and that the immense population ofmon-essentials and parasites may be forced togain an honest living. I care hut little forJ.uggling statistics furnished by the masterclass to deceive and pacify workers. Rather,I propose to continue to give concrete examples

that anyone can verify.So when it is stated that the actual growers

of staples in Illinois receive for their main-tenance but one-fourth of their product it canhe verified. Rent takes one-half delivered inmarket and, on the smaller farms, 320 or lessacres, apkeep of teams, tools, etc., costs one-fourth. On larger, better organized farmslabor is hired and receives from one-tenth toone-fifth of the product value. The cost ofeqluipmlent is less and the rents (called intereston investment), gain by the organization ofworkers.

On these organized farms there is no dwellingand no work for any but those skilled and

physically lit. The old and dependant areforced to the towns or the poor far or to thedole of help handed out by towns. The work-ing owner or tenant, able to cultivate all of hisland by machines needing but a few clays ofhell, in planting or harvesting times, does fore.his children to leave the farm for other occu-paition if they have not gone of their own freewill:

Th'le organization for machine use by own-ers, has broken up the families And reducedworking farmers to the lowest level. There isa necessity of organization of industry that in-creases as the ,enefit of the machine becomesevident. There are but two forms of industrialet-operation. In one organization is by own-,ers for profit to property and the other is bylalor for labor. And of the land essential to

ill there are two forms of ownership. One iso,•.L.rshilp Iby persons and the other is collee-tire, or byv all society. C(oltletive ownershipandI control does not alter the fact that theowner of the land is the master of those whowould use it, but industrial organization makesall aiike masters, through their self-made rules.It also gives the workers the full social valueof the wealth produced instead of the one-fourth they now receive. But as other workersalso receive one- fourth or less, it is e.viol!tthat Ilhe exchlange vaie to workers is one-si-xteenith or less.

As an organization it wields among the Slavicpeople an incalculable influence.

For many years, as it is commonly known,the Slavic people. have been hard pressedracially, by the Germans and Austrians, theHungarians co-operating. As a result of thiscruel oppression, a traditional hatred has beenglowing in the hearts of the Slavs, against theGermans, a hatred so hot and intense, that themere mention of the word German to a Slav, isadequate to provoke a biting anger. Thishatred, of course, is capitalized by aspiringrulers of the Slav. The present Europeantrouble, therefore, bids fair to be, owing to itsstrong racialistic-patriotic aspect, one of his-tory's most gruesome fatalities.

What part will the revolutionists play in thisprobable tragedy? It is a question that isagitatir( the rebels here. Undoubtedly theyare playing a very influential part, consistentn ith their number and power.

However, anyone who is acquainted with thelong ancestral culture of Slavic patriotism,knows how magic-like the workers respond toits demon-calls. It is absolutely impossible todescribe for instance, how the workers of mynationality, the Slovaks, hearken to the mystictingle of patriotism when it is sounded on themost shallow pretenses; it is simply amazingand yet the revolutionist knows that is but na-tural, considering the number of centuries dur-ing which it has been assidiously nourished.

The other day I was speaking with a Rus-sian comrade who was wounded in the revolu-tion of 1905. We discussed the looming possi-bilities of the present crisis, for the workers ofRussia. lie admitted, as far as his knowledgewent, that under ordinary conditions of warthe Russian fleet would mutiny but expressedgrave doubts as to their attitude in a Pan-Slavic war. For, as lie put it, "The revolution-ary propaganda is as yet not old enough, toerase from the breasts of the workers the onelone thing on which they have spirituallythrived on for centuries-patriotism."

Of course, Austria's attempt and desire togobble up Servia, is prompted by ecoomicmotives, and it is also true that as long ascapitalism exists, regardles of whether a peoplehas national autonomy or not, they will beslaves, nevertheless. But it is, however, equallyas true and clear to the understanding thatunless a people have the -natural right of speak-ing its mother tongue, and the right to acquireits use at school, such things as social andeconomic revolutions, will occupy in the life ofa racially oppressed people, only a minor pe-destal. Experience proves that this is true.Therefore I conclude, that from a propagandastandpoint it is to the interest of theS.r\vian worker for hinm to possess nationalauitonomy. This is the primordial freedom fromwhlic'h others can spring. Germany secondsAustria's aittelmpt to wrest this precious free-loimt fromic Sirvia.

Austria is now responsible for the racial sub-jiugation of the Slovaks, the ('roats, and otherminor natinualities. The revolutionary propa-ganla of the• Slovaks in Ilungary, of which Iknow front personal knowledge, is deeply per-mieated with the "nationalities question." Ifit wasn't there would be no revolutionary prop-agaliEla as thle ear of the worker would he givenove\r entirely to the patriots much in the samlefashion as it is in Ireland.

If you deny a people its racial freedom youneedis not talk otlher things to them, for theywon't lis(,n. And this fact alone, 1 am inclinedto, tlinik, is going to inlldu1ce foolishly or other-wise. thlie rev\'olutionists of the Slavi countrie.ito tight for racial independence.

NEVER AGAIN?

(For Joe Hill)By Lillian Lewis

Never again shall we see him,Never again hear his voice,A victim of masters who slay himWhile lawyers and hellions rejoice;Never again will his singingBring hope to the heart of the slave,-All his hopes and his longings,Shall follow him into the grave!

Never again shall his laughterRing out all over the hall-Silenced his voice, oh, forever!Never again hear our call,Never again see the banner,The flag of vassal and slave;Never again hurl defianceAt gunmen, the traitor and knave!

Never again, oh, no, never!Oh, workers, arouse! else the foeWith bullets his young heart shall severeAnd silence forever our Joe.You have the power to save him,To loosen their grip on his throat,To weaken the lust of the mastersWhere the flag of our fathers doth float!

Oh, workers, arouse ye to action!Now is the time you must speak!Time never, O never is waiting,On craven and coward and sneak.Flock to your standard, you workers!Present a stout front to the foe;If none are inactive or shirkers,Freedom shall smile on our Joe!

IN MINNESOTAThe splendid propaganda carried on by the

Western Locals of the I. W. W. on the streetcorners and in the harvest fields during thelast two years, an the distribution of 50,000stickers, this year, by the Minneapolis locals,seems to at last be bearing fruit. eports fromall over the State of Minnesota, seem to sug-gest a growing sentiment in favor of the I.W. W. in the harvest fields. Everywhere onegoes a spirit of solidarity, and a gradually in-ereasng one of revolt, prevails. Here in Dawson,M•inn., the farmers have organized for the pur-pose of paying not more than $2.50 per dayfor the help they need to keep them fromstarving till next fall. When Fellow WorkerSoltis and myself arrived here, we found thehuneh in the jungles, already discussing waysandl means to squeeze a little more out of thefiyner. \We held one street meeting on themain steam of this hburg. The meeting was welladvertised and(l the whole town turned out towitness tihe unique and hitherto unheard ofslKectacle of a workingmen's meeting in thesleelpy burg of awsol)n. Immediately after themieeting the mayor, newspaper editor and thelocal vaudeville artist (the Marshal), held ahasty conference. but niothing came of it. Nextdayiv we held a mecting in the jungles. As theresult the, boys have refused to work for lessthan $3 for 10 hours. Our ranks are solid andialready someic of the farmers are sneaking inand giving the boys what they want. At theclose, of tie, j.ungle mmeetin , we took up a col-lection of $5.50() for Rangel and Cline. It seemsto me that a good sum of money could be real-ized in the jungles for dlefense purposes if thelehdels would only get busy, especially at thistime of the year. If the extensive harvest prop-;'ganmla ,y thIe I. W. W. is continued, it willo,nly he a matter of 2 or : years, when thef'armer will he conmletelly at the mercy of theI. W. W. It is to he regretted that some of ourEastern "agitators" instead of living off theirre.lutations anid posing as authorities on thetactics and methods of the I. W. W. would notleave their shells and come out West where thespirit of revolt is already breaking out, and

iwhere j.rool live agitators can do great work.Chas. Gray.

OH, MEN OF THE REBEL CLU N!

Southern California, an ideal spot for a revo-lution to start. Los Angeles has more stool-

pigeons than any other place in proportion to

the population on earth. Pasadena has moremillionaires than any other town for its size

in the world. Southern California, where

scores of women with unemployed husbandsse-ll themselves to keep their children fromstarving, where the rich of the world con-

gregate to exploit and debauch the working-

men, their women and children (daughters and

sons), where. most of the prostitutes are merechildren-14 to 17 years old-where it iscon-si•lered a crime of the worst stripe to belong toor believe in the tactics of the fighting I. W.W. The grandest place in the world for the

" rich. Where a local Scripps paper exposes the

1 est customer. of the prostitutes as rich peopleand business ?) men. Where the reporter ofsaid paper is surrounded by the stools and

pimps of the master class and beaten up withblackjacks, and one of the editors is arrested

and, if convicted, will spend a term in the peni-tentiary for the terrible crime of telling thetruth. Los Angeles, the town that put the

unemployed in jail to the tune of 125 men,put others to work for the county for mealsand a flop, and, when some of them protested,

they were hung up by their thumbs (long liveChristian civilization!) where the city councilbacked up the chief of police for the sum of

$2000 per month extra for more stoolpigeons to

cope with the increase of the holdups. Los

Angeles, where they have a chain gang towork on the county roads. Where witnesseswere arrested and given as much as twomonths for testifying for the so-called Plazarioters. Oh, men of the Rebel Clan! how much

longer are you going to starve, sacrifice andwait? Let us try to organize to destroy capi-talism, with any means to an end.-C. O. G.

SMUT IN PALOUSEIt is a remarkable fact that the farmers in

the Palouse country are admitting themselvesguilty of mistreating the Workers. Just assoon as the threshing machines commenced tobe blown up and burned in that section. Allright thinking men and women have come tothe conclusion that the explosions are beingcaused by smut in the wheat, but there are

those in the Palouse who are trying for selfishreasons to lay the blame and the responsibilityfor the destruction of the seperators to theWorkers. For years the men who have gonedown to the Palouse have been chased aboutfrom town to town and from jungle to jungleby the Minions of Law and Order" and, halfstarved and over-worked by these farmers,who seem to have no sense of right and wrong,

is it a wonder, then, that these ignorant farm-ers, knowing the wrongs and brutalities which

the workers have been subjected to at theirhands, should try to lay the blame on thesepoor homeless Workers, who have no redressbut to defend themselves as best they can?Were it not that we are living in anenlighteniedage, I should say that Cod, in lis anger at the,brutal treatment of His people (the Workers)

Q; had visited a plague upon these farmers."Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, I willrepay."

The truth is that the farmers are in fear andtrembling at the possible consequences of theirsinlls (the brutal treatment of the Workers). Itis not necessary for us to do violence, all wehave to do is to hIrepare ourselves for anyemlergency that may arise, and dlemand, and in11no uncertain terms, justice andl the right tolive, live as a man ought to live, and then, andnot till tlhen, shall we be what we ought to br.e,a lprominent factor in society.

INTERNATIONAL NOTES

Compiled by Nils H. HanasonScotland---Some time ago the miners in

Scortland decided that after July 20th theirworking week would not exceed five days.Because of this a general conifict is expectedamong all the mine workers there.From that (late the organized workers there

were not going to work more than five days aweek-whether the employers liked it or not.'The workers expected to see the employersanswer with a general lockout-and they wereready to meet them with an open fight.

(Now whether it will be one way or theother this seems to be a step in the right direc-tion, and shows that the workers in Scotlandare up to date, trying their best to put theirunemployed to work.)

Germany-Ever since 1912, when, in theRuhr District, during the mine conflict therethe "Christian organizations" went traitors ontheir class, there has been a boiling and bub-bling inside that organization. Some radicalelements have been working hard trying toreorganize the organization on more practicalbasis. This again has led to conflicts. In Ger-man Poland the organized miners are planningfor action to get more wages. The bld leadershave assured the workers that, cost what itwill, there will be no open fight. The expecta-tions are now that the workers will revoltagainst their leaders. In the Wurm districtthe Christian organizations have decided tojoin hands with the rest of organized labor andmake a united fight of all of the workers.

In Lausitz some textile workers on strike.The employers are threatening with the lock-ing out of 30,000 more if the strikers refuse tobe satisfied with what has been offered. Thisis an old tactic by the powers that be in Ger-many-to force the workers to give in by theuse of mass-lockouts. (It will always be thatway as long as the workers do not use themass-strike instead of the small local strike.)

Russia- 15,000 shoe factory workers are onstrike for a raise in wages and short work dayWarschau.

The strike in the petroleum fields at Baku is.still on. As we know that strike was calledbecause of the unsanitary conditions aroundthe workers' quarters. The capitalists havebegun to use the same kind of tac#" there asare employed in this "glorious land of thefree." So in a few days, more than 500 menhave been arrested and thrown into the Rus-sian dungeons. The Union halls have been(,losed up. All meetings have been stopped.Gunmen have been imported from other places,and many strikers have been injured. Thegeneral belief among the workers is now thatthe employers are trying to drive the slaves toarni themselves against their oppressers, andthat way repeat the massacre at Lena whichcost several hundreds of workers lives.

Spain--Madrid bakers have raised the priceson bread 20 per cent. This caused the work-ers to make mass demonstrations in which not:less than 400 bakeries were raided and morethan 50 workers were injured in the first clash."l)own with the bakeries" was heard allthrough the long trains of demonstrants. The

nbakers tried to give out bread. but all in vain,in stopping the uprising of the people. Thatsame night the dissatisfied bread eaters march-ed through the streets with bread stuck on th,b(lnd of long sticks. Then the bakers let themknow that they would go back to the old

lHut. Lrce dlays later the bakers let theIpeople Inow that ththe raised lprices on breadlwas going to remain. This was answered withnew demonstrations. A good many womenwent up to thle markets and also demanded therelducing of tile prices on potatoes. From theparliament canme the answer that, because therewere so imany outbreaks against tile high costof living-thie police was insufficient and en-tirely powerless to stop the bread-eaters' re-volts. (And as far as the translator knows,the demonstrations are still going on.)

Italy-With tyranny the Reaction is now,reigning in Italy after the revolt. In Aneona110 workers have been arrested, of which allare ac(.tive( mnilbers and leaders in the LaborElxcl(hange. Tile railroads are going to put theTroiin lIe on 4000 of their employes. Many ofthre railroad men who lparticipated in the re-'ent general strike will be brought before the

courts~-and it is expected that many of themwill have to suffer ,behind tile mute gray walls,,e(ause they had the courage of their convic-

lions t(R.)o out with their fellow men-protest-ig against ltl e i nhumlllaln polic'e hruttality, whichwas the real background of that heroic fight,ut up liv our Italian fllow workers.

Norway--Quick nction was displayed bytli. worlkers ill the shops of Nydalen, whenon .Julv Sth. without a minute's notice, 800me(n by ,breakfast time stopped working. The

strike was a volcanic outbreak of long felt dis-ontent. with thyt speeding up machine system,

and the inhuman conditiona which have bmschanged from bad to worse the last months.

As a consequence the eapitalist press isshedding tears over "outside agitators and thenew and unfair tactics" used by slaves now-days-because the workers by using these newtactic; were able to close up whole plants.

The superintendents for the works and alsosome of the old autocratic leaders have toldthe workers about the unlawfulness of theiraction, and that they should go back to work-but the slaves refuse to listen. (They must be"doped" with something of the like of whatis here called "I. W. W. dope.") It is saidthat the women are the most active among thestrikers--then perhaps we had better put skirtson the male for, in spite of that, "the female ofthe species is more deadly than the male."

Sweden-The last time I had anything fromSweden there was something about a Swedesuperintendent told the workers that the capi-talists built their hells (shops, mills and fac-tories) for "the welfare and the best for themen working in them." This time I will showyou how one of my landsmen, a manager for alumber company at Vansbro (where the menare on strike for better conditions) gave awrittenl masterpiece as answer to the workers'demands. It is as follows:

"In answer to yours of yesterday we willstate that we are willing to take back all thestrikers immediately, except those that havealready quit, on the following conditions:

1-" The works in the different departmentsshall be taken up as soon as enough men reportwilling to work and in the different tradesskilled and able.

2-" We reserve all the set backs andchanges in the delivering of lumber whichhave been caused by the strike.

3-"Any one employed at our works can notbelong to any Syndicalistic or revolutionaryorganization, nor can anyone spread or helpthe spreading of such literature.

4-"Discrimination because of the strikewill neither now nor in the future come fromany side.

5--"The strikers will immediately takedown all the proclamations about the strike.

6---"The company is willing together withthe sawmill's Employers' Association in thefirst half part of August to arbitrate with acommittee from the whole working force. Beit understod that working force does not heremean Union.

"At least half of this committee shall be menfrom those not on strike at the present time."

Of course the workers answered with a stillbitter fight-a first hand fight for the recogni-tion of the union, and the prospect is good.

Notice the inconsequence in the writing ofthe statements made in the different paragraphsby the manager as answer to those Northernfairhaired slaves. In one he says that there willbe no discrimination whatever; in another hesays that anyone beset with the dangeroussyndicalistic or revolutionary ideas cannotwork there. It is the same old rotten slur;the same old story of slapping the workers in,the face with the same fist that one day orthe other will make the masters of the worldhave to come through with the goods and handit over to te workers of the world or perish.

-MR. MUTT AND JEFF THE ROUGHNECK,ARGUING THE LABOR QUESTION

sir. Mutt-When do you think is the besttime to strike, Jefft

Jeff the Roughneck-Mr. Mutt, the righttime to strike is when the boss has work thatmust be done, and if it is not done, he willlose a a lot of money.

Mr. Mutt-No! No! Jeff, it would be wrongto take advantage of the boss that way whenhe was helpless. If the boss should go brokewe would lose our job and then we would allbe on the bum.

Jeff the Roughneck-What do I care aboutwhether it is right or not; I ain't talking about"right and wrong." I am talking about win-ning the strike. To win the strike, I am infavor of taking every advantage of the bossthat we can, even thoghl we put him on thehum; because he don't seem to lose any sleep,or shed any tears about our being on the hum;let him worry about that.

Mr. Mutt-I believe you are one of them I.W. W.'s the way you talk. Now let me askyai a question about the I. W. W.: "What rdoyou I. W. W.'s want, anyway?"

Jeff the Roughneck-.Mr. Mutt, our demandsare few and easily understood, and unless you;are a "hlock head," you will agree that we arenot unreasonable men. "We dlemand tlhat laborget all the wealth it produces."''

Mr. Mutt-I understand what you are driv-ing at, but I don't think that you fully realizewhiat it will mean, Jeff. Slhould you I. W. W.'ssucceed, it will mean that the capitalists willhave to produce all tlhe wealth they get; thatwould be anarchy.

Jeff the Roughneck-I don't care whether it

is amreby or what it is; we llis that ourdem s shall be granted. Bat, Mutt, youhave understood us beter than I thboght youould. The mission of the L W. W.'s is to so

organie the workers that they will be able totake possession of industry and manage it inthe interest of the workers; then, if the capital-ists refuse to work, we will not supply themwith anything to eat. Let them do the worry-ing, not us. Forest Edwards.

PLUTM SxlNlER AND e0s3

By J. 8. BiscayMr. Workingman:"Come unto us, and we will load you down

like an ass between two burdens."We are glad to note that you do not listen to

the I. W. W., but toil on for our benefit. Thatis right, let us stay on your back and we willdo you to a frazzle.

Lest you think us irreligious, we will statethat we are deeply religious and willing toallow every slave to believe in a hereafter,provided we can do the skinning here. We arehighly pleased when the slaves imbibe ideas ofsubmission, contentment and suffering here,because that is just what we desire of them.While we are not waiting for reward afterdeath, it is a good promise to hold out to thebeasts of burden, lest they become discon-tented under our oppression and extortion. Forthis very reason we help the religious institu-tions that support us. During 1913 we donatednearly half a billion dollars to educational andreligious institutions. It pays.

Then we have to support the patriotic super-stition in so far as it helps in our skinning.For fear that the grown slaves might teachtheir young to think, we have organized theBoy Scouts and the Girl Scouts. The idea ofobedience to orders, organized murder, andstrike-breaking is carefully instilled in a dis-guised form into the plastic minus of the chil-dren. When these reach maturity, if they livethat long while working for us, they will beready to lock up old women who think, likeMother Jones, and to heap every form of abuseand degradation on the defenseless. Thus withterror, violence and slaughter, our magnificentsystem will be perpetuated. There are nomethods too low or too dirty which we do notuse if it brings us profits.

Yours for profitable brutality,D. GENERATE KHUSS, Secy.

MAKE BUZZARD KILLING COMPULSORY

From Alexandria, La., "Town Talk" (of July18th)

"The killing of buzzards is strongly advo-cated by all authorities in the fight to preventthe charbon in any section. These birds willcarry not only tetanus but many other dis-eases among cattle and hogs, hence their de-struction should be made compulsory."

Strange as it may seem, nothing is ever saidabout the destruction of the vultures that aredaily drinking the blood and tearing the fleshfrom the ragged, starving millions of Dixie.Hell, no, a thousand times no, the law andorder gang never move to rid the land of thereal disease carrying carrion crows and their"hellish" system; instead, it is upheld bythem, and their gang of preachers, priests andrabbis the world over and back again. Theringing message of world-wide ipeace and free-dom, is never heard to come from their rosylips. But you often hear the word obey, "obeyyour master and he content with your lot andall will be well-over on the other shore."

Ilow long are you, the working ('lass goingto let someone else do your leading and think-ing? Won't you sometime become 21 yearsold and be capable of thinking and leadingyourselves, and no longer let a useless classdo it for you

It is up to you to either decide whether thefuture shall he, dark and dreary or bright andhappy.

Let your watch-word be, unzzard destruc-tion, by turning the sabeats loosc' on the Tock'tbooks of the real dliseas-carrying ncarrioncrows, the maser class. Bill.
