The Underwood-Simmons bill just
assed by Congress and signed by Pris
lent Wilson October 3, will not remove
le existing discontent. The trust ^ill
ot be scuttled. Prices will not drop to
le extent that is expected ; and what
ver drop in prices there may be will
ccrue, not to the benefit of the large
lajority of the population, the proletar
.t, it will accrue to the benefit of the
fiddle class only. As to the proletariat
teir price in the labor market will be
>und to decline, along with other prices,
hough, perhaps, dampened for a mom
it, the flames of discontent will flare
up anew and afresh. The problem
whose manifestations the tarriff bill, and
the currency bill to boot, mean to tackle,
is a problem that neither tarriff nor curr
ency bills can solve. That problem de
mands radical treatment—treatment that
is radical in fact, and not a tinkering
with surface manifestations— it demands
the abolition, not of “predatory wealth’,
but of the cause that there is predatory
wealth, it demands the abolition of the
capitalist social system along, of course,
with the political state. In short, it
demands Socialism.
Woodrow’ Wilson’s triumph in causing
the tariff bill to pass, is a triumph whose
breakdown will herald another triumph
for Socialist principle.—The Weekly
People.

| WHERE PREACHERS
DON'T ENTER
As a general rule preachers are allow
ed a wider latitude than the general run
o f people. They are admitted into the
sick chamber when others are excluded;
to the cell of the poor unfortunate who
is condemned to die. They are generally
!the recipients of free passes from the
railroads, as disclosed by recent invest
igations. They are also welcome at the
tables of the rich. There is one place how
ever, where they are not only uot wel
come but absolutely forbidden to enter
for any purpose whatsoever. Stephen
Girard, the richest shipper of his time,
after accumulating a fortune running in
to the millions, died leaving millions to
charity but not a civil word for the priest
hood, and he made no exceptions; he
proscribed them all. In view of the fact
that ministers of the gospel occupy to a
large extent prominent positions on the
managing boards of charitable and phil
anthropic institutions, the action of Gir
ard is worthy of considerable notice on
the part of the student.
In providing for the establishment of j
Girard College, Philadelphia, a home for
male orphan children, he stated in his
will: “I enjoin and require that no ecc
lesiastic, missionary, or minister of any
sect whatsoever, shall ever hold or exer
cise any station o r duty whatsoever i n
the said college; nor shall any <Ppch per
son be admitted for any purpose, or as a
visitor within the premises appropriated
to the purposes of said college.—-The
Will of the L,ate Stephen Girard, Esp.,
1848:22-23.
CENT. CYC.
THE INDUSTRIAL
WORKERS OF
THE WORLD
(Continued from last issue)
When the anarchist element succeeded
in capturing the Industrial Workers of
the World at the Convention of 1908 the
minority, who were opposed to the action
of the anarchists, immediately seceded
and set up an organization of their own,
advocating political as we 11 as in
dustrial action. With the exposures of
the Bummerv by Trautman and the
investigations by ths Massachusetts
courts, the Chicago faction of the I. W.
W. is fast going to pieces, one of the
principal reasons for the working class
quitting being that an awful large part
of the funds passing through the hands
of the organization for the purpose of
helping strikers has a very bad habit of
sticking to the leaders’ fingers.
TRAUTMAN APPLIES EOR MEM
BERSHIP.
Among the communications received
by the Industrial Workers of Detroit con
vention was one from W. E. Trautman,
former general secretary of the Chicago
I. W. W., applying for membership.
Trautman’s exposure and resignation
from the Chicage I. W. W. has aroused
considerable attention. Giving his reas
ons, Trautman said in part: “I can draw
no other conclusion but that the organ
ization known as the Industrial Workers
of the World, with headquarters in De
troit, represents the revolutionary in
dustrial movement of America based on
the basic principles as enunciated in the
Industrial Union Manifesto of 1905, and
is therefore entitled to the full support
of the proletariat of this country in their
i
| educational, constructive and m i 1 i t ant
propaganda. For this reason I ask you
to transfer mv card—all ray connections
with the organization known as the I.
W. W. of Chicago having been renounc
ed to-day—and enroll me as a member
in said Industrial Workers of the world
with headquarters in Detroit, Mich,
