A prominent (.*:(]»itulits ntwspaper
lias said:
'Alone labor can accomplish no
thing; labor lmir.t work in svm
patbj v. ih capital in order to help
itscli ;.n” .-utter the condition of
those whose only capital is their la
bor Capital can get along without
labor f: r hatter than labor can get
along without capital."
'phis is rich. According to this
logic tin Almighty was very illog
ical when He tald Adam to till the
garden in clays of old He should
have told him that he couldn't do
anything till he had created a cap
italist who would finance him and
U ke away most of what he pro
duced. It would he really amusing
to s: e capital got along without
labor Rather tragic, though. There
would be nothing to eat and no
thing to wear and no place of
shelter But. on the other band,
suppose ; ll the "capital" in tin
land w: de lrovod and all tb- ca
pital!.should suddenly be dis
solvcd into hot air. labor would
then have aeess to all the tools of
product j( n and to sell tin- land, and
everyone would have- a job vliem
ever In- wanted. The world would
ho a thousandfold tidier and more

itself if there were- no such thing;
; s "capital” and capitalists. It is
these that exploit the people. It i:
these tint keep men from working
in tend of giving them work.
SV N Hit A I.ISM.
Syndicalism teaches one thing
that, above all else, is of vita
worth. It is tliis: That talk is gone
hut it takes action, direct action, tc
builet a Brooklyn bridge or to soil
a top. It shows us-—and we sliouli
li. ve seen it long ago—that, while
the loafers do all the talking, we
the toilers, do all the work, ant
llita if they stopped talking for :
thousand yeras the world w-ouli
not he i tf-cted ill the l east, excel)
to- good. But il wc stopped work
ing for a week, those who survive*
would never forget the catastrophe
By our silent labor He world i;
li'd and clothed nad housed. In ou
hands lie the- de l..lien of the world
The rulers tit the earth, with thei
glitc-rihg show powe r, of soldie rs it
gaudy drear, their navies and eun
on and all that, are mere toys tc
he tossed aside, if we but fold ou:
arms and ec-se io feed them.

class the arnij die law, the court,

obstacle the workers have to over
come is the blighting influence o

With ethics and moralitj inven

gotten over it I see children \\ li
have everything getting presents o
costly baubles they do not apprt

children of the poor have nothin

It is a mockery I.ike the wicked
man in he parable of the talents,
who reaped where he had not sown.
It is a "giving to those who have

hood about Santa Claus, the first
lesson in capitalist dishonesty and
lying .lov can not come to earth
while poverty and ignorance stalk
the land side by side with dishonest
opulence and cunning.

AY WOMEN MEN'S WAGES.
Pay women men's wages where
they do men’s work summarizes:
one section of the report of Mrs.
it. A. Morton, president of the
Wyoming state federation of wo
men’s clubs, to the annual cdnven
I tion.
[ “Women who are replacing^ men
called to the colors," shc*said
I “Should receive equal pay for equal
I work, not only because that would
be just but because that would be
the only way in which the men re- |
turning after the war would receive L
j their former employment at their I
former salaries."
Mrs. Morton opposed lowering i
the workers’ standards, and in urg- j.
1 ing a continuance of social reforms
during the war period, said:
“Can you resist the appeal of a
hungry child easier now? Does war
justity the labor of little children :
who so soon must take up the bur
dens of reconstruction? Do not our
schools need our support just.the >
same? Are our laws so perfect
that they cannot he improved? For:
50 years the best people of our land
have urged every effort for higher
standards of health, better schools,
better industrial conditions. We
cannot afford to relax our vigilance;
for a moment, tor upon the etfici-1
ency of the civilian corps depends
tiie success of our army abroad."
I Without revolutionary principle,
i industrial unionism is of little or;
I no value to the workers.
| The powt r claimed for each craft',
| to make separate terms with the j
employer is the fatal defect in the i
eratt form of organization, it can
j never be remedied by any combi- j
nation or agreement between orga
I niz.itions so long as it is allowed to
! remain. Imagine, if you can. an
army in which the integral parts
hail autonomy to treat with the
enemy and enter into peace pacts,
regardless of thr- whole. To learn
its fate you need only observe the
craft unions of the workers in the
industrial wars of our time.
