There never was such an oportun- i

don't do it. In England they are j
very unpatriotic, believing in orga- ■
nizing, war or no war, and thus I
have a von e as to what conditions

it is different, we must not adopt
anything Iron England, for that

would never do. No sirre. But. let

join .he union and kick against had
working conditions and low wages,
as you . re liable not to enter the
Kingdom ot Heaven, at least Billy
Sunday says so. and ho should
know. Watch out—don’t he hasty.
You see, it is like this; if you
organise and us- your collective
power, the tender-hearted industri
al lords might be compelled to
r. lit Utgliei wages and better work
iug conditions. Of course, if you
organize the money kings might
i.e: handle as mm k coin, and that
might cause pslpitat.oi > I the
heart. You might have a better
no ne. and it might affict your
health. Your family will lose re
spect for you. It you organize, ihe
poor parai.it might have less
money to spend on elaborate dog
and men key dinners and parties,
bss money for diamonds and pearl
necklaces, and my goodness that
would be an awful hardship; you
ki ow it would he terrible to np
j tar in society without tiiose showy
. ne costly thi .gs. It really is a
shame to deprive these hard work
up- gentry of tin si- things.
i you should organize and get
better wages, it might violate Hip
laws ot nature, the nun might (ease

Hut i you no hungry. Billy Sun
day. or some one like him will tell
von it "is the will <>;’ God" so be
content with vottr lot. and you will

don't join the union, but be sub
mi.-site etui docile, and the employ
ers will come around and pa; you
m the hack and tel' you wiuvt a
splendid fellow you are ft r tot
listening to the "agitators."
Of course some may say I am
crazy anti alt this siufl ts "rot

ha. never been t nytihng like .t up

And above all things, don’t seb

The oilier day a workingman of
■1S at Indianapolis afti r trying for
days and nights to and work, liis
pockets empty, his 'limited credit
exhausted, went to hi; shack, shot
his three children to death one
after another and then tamed the
revolver on himself ami blew out
ii is own lira ins.
The day before a sport v ho iiad
never done an hour's work in his
life jokingly laid a ten thousand
dolar hill on the counter of a swell
saloon in payment for r mTiail.
lie had a dozen lulls more of the
same denomination in iiis inside
pocket.
How many people are tin re who
have brains enough and heart and
soul ' nough to comprehend the sig
niiicance of iliese two incidents in
contrast with one another? l ow
many arc there who are capable of
under-standing that when a work
ingman kills himself because he is
not allowed to work and live and
feed It is offspring he is literally
murdered by the community a:ul
his blood is on the lu nds of every
member ot that community.
Thousands of human beings de
stroy themselves in this laud of [
the free because wcrk is denied
them, and therefore life itself, and
these unfortunate brothers and slut-!
ers ot ours for whom we should i
weep uuvo olood are the murd-j
ered victims or the communities in
which they are driven to their ,
doom.
These are some of the horrors
of peace under the capitalist sy
stem. 'Ilm very thought of them
is enough tc make men shudder un
less their hearts are petrified and
tiioir souls dead.
if very one who su .ports the ca
pitalist sjstem the system which
only allows men to work at all if j
they consent to be robbed of what
they produce and which denies
thousands . ven the right to be rob

vhe hapless creatures who arc shut
out, refused work, driven to des
peration and final.v into suicides’
