"To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor, or as
nearly as possible, Is s worthy object of any good government.”—
abraham Lincoln ,
Entered as second class matter March 1, 1*11, at the post office at
ifome, - AlasKa, under the Act of March S, 187*.
Nome, Alaska, November 1, 1916.
VOTE “YES'
The Industrial Worker carries a
streamer at its head for the past
few days urging all to vote "Yes’'
in the matter of the general eight
hour day referendum.
It is the most important Question
bar none, that is being submitted to
the voters, it means more leisure
lor the workers; it means more rest
and more time to fit oneself for the
struggle' for existence, so that we
may learn to work and act that this
existence will be no longer a strug
gle, no longer a matter of doubt
and killing anxiety and uncertainty,
but of assurance that the toilers will
be provided for by their own labor
or the labor of others when the time
comes when they can no longer
work.
That time will come with the ad
vent of an industrial democracy. Its
advent will not be hastened by keep
ing men and women with their noses
to the grindstone, so that they know
little of actual happenings, less of
themselves and all that they know
about their condition and the reason
therefor is that life is a hard strug
gle and a heavy burden.
The shorter work day is a reform j
that is surely coming. Its advent is j
to be hastened by the efforts which ;
labor puis out to obtain it. It must j
be the result of labor's earnest ef- |
lort. and secured in its enforcement .
by l.L^cr organization.
It is likely that tin eight hour day
will carry in Alaska. But not too
much confidence should be enter
tained. Every vote is needed to
overcome opposition. And after it is I
r asc-sd. it will be up to the legis- j
lators to carry out the popular man- ;
date. If those legislators know
that labor will insist upon its pass- j
age and if upon its passage, the of- j
licials know that they will be made
to enforce the law. the eight hour
day will then only .mcome an ac
complished fact.
Together, therefore, with the urg
ent need for activity in this matter
is the still greater need for a strong
sturdy, solidified labor organization
able to manifest its strength on any
field to demand and to enforce Its
rights.
Vote “Yes” on the general eight
hour day referendum!
THE GREATER RIGHT.
An exchange says that the pub
lic has the greater right to be con
sidered in the matter of the differ
ences between employers and em
ployees. The paper was speaking
of the railroad strike and went on
to say that without the travelling
public and without a shipping pub
lic there would be no occasion for
roads.
In point of fact the real factor
in the transportation industry is not
the traveller, or the shipper, or the
shareholder. The real factor is labor,
labor of brains and hands. We
could eliminate the travelling pub
lic as a traveling public, and the
shipping public as a shipping public,
and make use of the, transportation
industry for the satisfaction of the
wants and desires of labor of brain
and hands in other industries, and
we would have a whole lot more
satisfactory conditions. <
The really unessential factdr in
the industry is the shareholder and <
the private owner. And it is the
same in all industries. Private <
ownership merely is the leach that J
sucks its vital product from labor.
Men say that capital is the ne
cessity. . Before labor is paid a <
single cent by capital in the form of j
wages, labor must produce a profit- t
-able return or put its labor power I
to such use as would assure a pro- 1
Stable return. Labor pays Itself. It S
pays itself by its labor power. It t
does more than that. It produces and
pays the investor, the landlord, the c
lender hjLs interest. It pays. ^11 bills J
or rather it provides,the wealth for 1
the payment of all bills. It Is the t
factor 'which cannot be dispensed
W9 could eliminate ,|toe moneyed

(
trust and the capitalists and pri
vate owners and get along very
nicely just the same. When we be
gin to remove labor we shatter the
very foundation of the productive
and distributive structure of society.
The world could not exist a year if
Labor stood and looked on for a
short spell with folded arms. Labor
power replenishes the granary, the
deposit vault, the treasury, the
stores, the social wealth and pro
vides everything. It conquers all
kinds of natural obstacles and then
Capital makes it like a Chinese pe
lican disgorge its own gains.
