How do you think the facta leaked
out?
The safety of one lies in the mass
action of the many.
Ever come across a boss who was
not class conscious?
Labor produces all wealth; capital
Ism produces ail misery.
“Tool—A person used by another as
a handy instrument to accomplish cer
tain ends.”
A “fair day’s pay is the full pro
duct of your toil. To get more would
be stealing and getting less would be
to get robbed. Honest men want
neither.
it is difficult for us to imagine what
the ideal justice will be for every
thought of ours that tends towards
it. is clogged by the injustice wherein
we so till live.
They’ve been trying for a long time j
to put the Industrial Worker out of
business, but the paper is here yet in
spite of the capitalist and political '
hirelings.
It is beautiful to behold the label'
baiter and his toolfi taking their af
ternoon stroll some of these evenings.
What an unbosoming of noble feelings
there must be between them?
Some people think that they are
smart, carrying water on both shoul
ders but when they land home they i
find they have spilled every drop, (let I
wise to some of the gang that were on
on it?
.Many a man thinks that it is good
ness that keeps him from crime, when
it is only his full stomach. On half
allowance he wiuld be ;is ugly and
knavish as anybody. Don't mistake
potatoes for principles:
There's nothing slow about the em
ployers getting together when a pro
posal is on foot that looks good to
their bank account* The workers will
do well to take an exabnlo from the
bosses solidarity oral get together for
their own welfare.
Man did not make the earth, and
though he had i natural right to oc
cupy it, ho had no right to locate as
his property tn perpetuity any part of
it; neither did the creator ctf the earth
open a laud office, from whence title
deeds should issue.
Gif lit barbers charged with violat
ing the Sunday law, enacted in 1794,
were convicted in an Eastern setutc the '
other day. The information may be I
useful to those who are trying to find
out whmen they may expect convic
tions under the anti-trust law enacted
in 1890.
•THAT MEETING"
"Of course It was a meeting among
friends which took place in a certain
office about 10 days ago; and what
transpired there was more or less of a
|love feast—in words. They nil who
i were present were doubtless imbued
'with that fraternal feeling which draws
1 heart to heart and opens up flood gates
of candor.”
The fact that the industrial Worker
should have been the subject matter
of discussion even for a short while
fills us with nothing more or less than
satisfaction, and if any of those pres
ent think that they can put the In
dustrial Worker out of business after
a long or short struggle they have an
other guess coming.
Editors and linotype men may come,
and editors and linotype men may go,
ia breath can make them as a breath
has made, but this little old paper
I with its plain duty to persue for the
| workers first last and all the time,
will be here when some of those ptirl
sites who are anxious to suppress the
publication of the paper will have
reached their final destination—among
the angels maybe! Back of this paper
is the union, that no set of men
(whether they be politicians, their
henchmen or coach-ipach merchants
who emerged front the obscurity of life
under interesting circumstances which
need not be repea ted as everyone
knows them) can hope to control one
way or another.
It is not for us to reveal the man
ner in which the romfidenro of that
meeting was violated, but what in
thunder could you expect? It was
bound to be revealed sooner or later,
(and the sooner the better say we.
j Maybe a word of advice would not
j be amiss. We give it cheerfully. It
! might not be a bad scheme to draw up
on oath binding to secrecy, with
I ritual and so-forth with a ‘'High Grand
|Tyee and Most Ancient Honorable” to
■direct the conference. We venture to
j say that same of those attending
i would look good in. a cap and bells
ias a preliminary regalia, and at any
I rate when they open their mouth as
■sense would not emanate therefrom
at least with a shake of their head
they might make sweet sounds.
The record of the Industrial Worker
enables us to face without any other
feeling but amusement, the petty
I machinations which are now being
made against it. T'rom its inception
jit has had a barrel otf troubles but it
[got rid of them all, and is ready to fill
it up agjain. The Industrial Worker
has been pestered by would be politi
cal ward-heelers, and their satellites,
scab-herders, tin-horn gamblers and
stool-pigeons, and by all manner of
vermin large and small, but in spite
of this it is still doing business with
indications of a flourish, and at the
same old stand.
Never in the history of Local 240
has the union been so united: (as on
the proposition to retain control of
I their newspaper under any and all
I circumstances) never in its history has
I the spirit of solidarity been so strong
! within its membership. And if one
■man goes from any particular office
[or function for any reason whatsoever.
I there wll be plenty more to take his
.place.
This information is cheerfully ex
tended, so that it can be fully threshed
out at heir next meeting under the
head of new bustness.”
