Without this addition. lie Con

espionage bill as first, introduced, a
prevision placing the press of ihe
l'n,ted States under a suit! eensor
.* hip.
In tin last days of tiie debate,
after tin censorship provision had
been struck out in response to an
overwhelming demand from the
whole country, a clause was sur
reptitiously slipped in at the in
sistent «* of Postmaster General
Hurled!, . uthorizitg him to stop
any pul.'iicatiou which might "ob
stiuel r entiling."
I’nder covet ( I tiiis sun t ptitious
amendment, W H. Lamar, solicitor
of the Post Office Department, has
struck. He has become plaintift
preset utor. judge, jury, executioner
and court ot appeal; he is in abso
lute control of the pre s of the na
lion end through the press, of the
thoughts a id id os of one hundred
million people
And he nas promised to use this
power ruthlessly against labor’s
pro-a.
Who shall present the arguments
to, a peaceable change, if the So
cialist papers are killed?
What snail prevent the ever
spreading discontent and murmur
ing of defrauded workers from
breaking out into disorder, if So
cialism. which seek to prevent
violence, is not allowed lo show
ihe peaceful way toward chance?
Acting on instructions from the
National Executive Committee of
the Sot ialist Party, a committee
consisting el 'larence Harrow. Mor
ris Hilquitt. Frank P. Walsh ami
Seymour Steadman, went to Wash
ington to aivo tigate and protest.
And this is what they found:
The Department’s position is that!
if a single issue of any paper is ex-1
eluded from the mails for contain-j
mg non-mailable matter, this de
stroy the continuity of the paper.
Keen though the decision may not
be reached for several weeks after
the paper has been mailed, the
thory is that if it is decided to be •
unmailable. it has in fact not been'
printed.
According to the law, if any pa
per enjoying tne privilege of second j
class rates tni-i es even one issue I
without valid excuse, it forfeits the i
right 1*t> the seccnd-eliss rate.
Tilt retort ; if even weeks after aj
single issue ha been presented to,
go through the mails, some clerk i
in Washington decided that it on
taitis a sentence, a paragraph or
• ■vi'ii a word that this clerk does
not like, that issue ha- ne'er been
printed: the paper is guilty of
criminal neglig-tit c. and is to oe j
debarred from the mails.
Even the department of justice,
the oilicial legal department of the
government, is unable to discover
wliat is unmaPahlp in the issues
of The A liter cun Sociali i which
have been barred from the mails.

\W are given no guidance as to fu
ture issues. W> are told we ought
to have known. Put even the gov
i rnment-rl department of justice
does not know. Only l.atn-T know-'
and he won’t tell.
What is wrong? It !s that Social
ism is gaining the upper hand
| throughout the I’nited States Tile,
world castrophe shows th • break
down oi the capitalist system, -o
long foretold, so long prophesie t j
by Socialists. We are getting ready
in this country to take over the

AIMS Ol THK I. W. W.
The working c lass and th • ent
'■ ploying clais have nothing in com
mon. There can be no peace so
! long as hunger and want are found
—
among millior. cl the working peo
ple and the few, who make up the
employing class have all the good
things of life.
Between these two classes a
struggle must go on until the work
ers of the world organize as a cla s,
take possession of the earth and
the machinery of production, and
abolish the wage system.
We find that the centering of the
management of industries into
fewer and fewer hand- makes the
trade unions unable to cope with
the ever growing power of the em
ploying class. The trade unions
foster a state of allairs which allow
one set of workers in the same in
dustry, thereby helping defeat one
another in wage war . Moreover,
the trade unions aid .he employing
c lass have interests in common with
their employers.
These conditions can he changed
and the interests of the working
claSsi upheld only by an organiza
tion formed ii. such a way that all
its members in ai.y one industry,
or in all industries, if necessary,
cease work whenever a strike or
lockout L on in any department
thereof, thus making an injury to
one an injury to all.
Instead of the conservative!
motto, “A fair day's wage for a '
fair day's work." we must inscribe j
on our banner the revolutionary !

working c lass to do away with ca-1
