Continued reports of industrial

It sn happens that the Federated j

stabmi at that they are due to ina- ;
ni11alations of the Kaiser. We |
quote front the ofbcial report
"We find the bash.' cause of In-j
du: trial dissatisfaction to be low !

ilie fact that tlte workers of the
nation through compulsory and op
pressive methods, legal and illegal,

The -• tout and depth of indus

tip very institutions of their eoun-1

power of liie employers. Prison re
cords for labor leaders have become
badges of honor in the eyes of

We find the unrest here
dtterbed to be but the iu.te.-t mani
festation ol' the age-long struggle ’
of the tace for freedom of upper-1
(unity for every indhidual to live
his life to the highest ends. As the
nobles of England wrung their in
dependence from King Joint, and |
as the Iradesmen of France broKe j
through the ring of privilege en
closing the Three Estates, so. today i
the millions who serve society in
ardous labors on the highways,
and alott on scaffoldings and by
the side:; ot whirling machines are
demanding that they, loo, and their
children shall enjoy all the bless
ings that justify and make beauti
ful this life”.

If the working people of the old
world had not been deceived and
licet to by these they looked to for
guidance and help, they would have
been freed from the burdens of life
many centuries ago. Those who
would have freed them and made
them upright before the world,
were magligned by the political and
spiritual advisers in the interest of
the property class. Same today.
1 wonder what political Influence
if any, the million and a half of
organized farmers will have next
year? Probably none.
