Frank I.ittle was strangled by a

W1 y is ;t that tiie greatest men
of the ages have been nailed to the

• old stone walls of a fortress?
Why? Beeause the misinformation i
piddled to the workers in the guise]
of "■ lu ation-' has redue d thenii

worship ot the law. their humble
adoration of the morality of their
masters their slavish subservience
to the fetiehes set up hv the boss,

by tin small minority who have left

if it weri not neeessary that tin
smirking slaves have rebellion I
pounded into their heads in ordet
to mai." pcsiiibh the rebellion of
the minority they eouid go to the
devil and none would mourn them.
Hut it so happens tint it IS neces
sary to at ieast m part educate and
organize this bunch of unwilling
tools and it is the work of the
militant majority to do just this.
It would be much more pleasant
to pound their wooden skulls with
a meat -axe, but UTILITY is the
only god left to the minority, and
he must be served .
The time is r.t hand when the
minority, well organized, intelligent
resourceful, will proceed to ACT,
and for every rebel liurdered will
take toil iron thosi n sponsible for
his murder. Not t , it tin minority
will tesolve itsell merely into an
execution committee Its chief
function is to control industry and I
make it KC’ONOMICAI.LY imposs

when lie chooses.

You know that in spite of all your,

things that you do not get? Is
there not something in the scheme

| you ORGANIZE, you have POWER.
Therefore, an organization of one
big union for all the workers Is the
one thing that will get for you
MORE OF THE GOODS. What you
wants is the goods.
JOIN THE UNION AND GET
TI E GOODS.
ORGANIZED l.tlilill.
0 organized labor had a plat
form setting forth what it wants
and its member:, were educated to
understand what those demands
meant, it c ;>uid muster two million
of votes and to this would be ad
ded a million more sympathizers.
Sui h a party would threaten both
old parties and they would make
haste to eater to them, and would
not. only n ake l ut would begin to
enforce all immediate demands that'
did not threaten to do away with
the -apitalist elasss entirely. Or
ganized labor would no longer I
need to employ a lobby at 'he state |
and national c apitals. Such a tre-.
nendous vote would hurry the' old
party tec mbers to cat< h the labor
breeze in their sails and conces
sions galore would he theirs for
tie asking N’c.oer bv begging can
labor got anything worth having.
•So long as labor vot"s the capital
ist tickets, it says to tho capital
ist politicians that it is satisfied
with their laws, their injunction
and their fealt\ to the master
class. Why should the* politicians
then c hange their practice of «• rv
I mg
I l Up;
i? Arp I
lfctionfl
the interests of the rich
not enforced at c very elecuoiir
by the votes of the working class/|
Labor can get any laws it desires
and have them enforced whenever
it votes for men who also want!
these demands and enforcement. 1
What is Wie ttse bet' -aching about'
injunctions and child labor and*
long hours and low iviuis and then
voting for the old parties who have
been ignoring these things in the
interest of the master (lass? The
vork people have the voting power
and the physical power to back it
up whenever they are willing to use
this power against their masters.
But when they vote the masters'
tickets, why should they organize
against the masters’ wages and
hours, at d conditions? I should like
to have the labor leaders answer
this question.
The human family, if each abkj
bodied adult will do his or her
share ot the work, can produce in
three hours a day every article that
evq ry person may desire or can
consume. Then why work ten or
eight hours a day. which only rej
suits in enabling the rich to pile
up millions I hey cannot use and w ill
not permit those who can to use.
Away with such ar insane system.
Wiili Modern mat liinery, labor
produces five times as much goods
for each day’s labor as it did a
hundred years ago It lived then j
poor though it was, and supported1
th'> groat armies and hordes of no-,
bililies that had fastened them-,
solves on their backs. Today laboi
should not work more than four j
hours a day to produce everything 1
it could use. Hut the work lay is
almost as long as it was then, and i
th“ i ovi rty today, in cities, even
greater thru it was then. If tlie
work people will do mss wora and (
more thinking for themselves they i
will have a great deal more of this j
world’s goods and gladness than j
they now have. They work too ]
much and permit the press, the po
liticians, and the pulpit, to do their j
thinking for them. 1
There is no liberty that does not
include ownership of the job.
