He, who Wastes a Crust of
Bread, Prolongs the War.
CAPITALISTS UNDER GUISE OF
“‘PATRIOTISM,” ARE ESTABLISH
ING INDUSTRIAL TYRANNY
From New York, (by mail)—The
American business interests are taking
advantage of the war crisis to wipe out
the “effective part of the American
labor movement,” is the charge iruide
yesterday by Scott Nearing, chairman
of the national executive committee of
the People’s council, in the fourth of
a series of open letters to the New
York Times. The letter reads.
“To the Aew Torn Times”:—In my
previous letters to you I tried to point
out that American business interests
had reaped hu&e profits from the three
years and three months of barbarism
that have desolated Europe, milking
their loathsome profits, under the gt'se
of “Patriotism,” upon everything that
the American troops are using on the
battlefields of France.
“Now I am going one step further.
I accuse the American business inter
ests of using the war crisis as an ex
cuse to wipe out the effective part of
the, American labor movement and to
set up an industrial tyranny in the
United States.
American industry is organized as
:l plutocracy—wealth and not people
control it. The stockholders rule—be
cause they are stockholders., The
wage earners and clerks, who make
up six-sevenths of the people, engaged
in industrial enterprise, have no say
in the selection of their superiors and
no say in deciding business policy.
“Tlie workers work. The stockhold
ers tend their representatives decide.
Tlie owners of American wealth—the
plutocrats, rule American economic life
just as the owners of the land, the
aristocrats, ruled feudal Europe. There
is not a single important Industry in
the United States which approaches
"Government of the people, by the
people and for the people.
“Since the beginning of the war, the
American Plutocrats have outdone
them salves—committed their savage
Industrial crimes behind the folds of
the American flag, and draping their
attacks upon civil and economic liberty
In the language of patriotism.
“The National Security league, the
state council of defense, the vigilants
and the other “patriotic” organizations
of business and professional men have
reviled, attacked, denounced. They
have proclaimed that their opponents
should be stood, up against the wall
at sunrise; that certain editors ‘ought
to l>e shot’ and that 'labor agitators
deserve hahj^mg.’
"How easy it would have been for
a district attorney to send some of
these mem to prison for life after Frank
Liittle’s Ixaly was cut down from the
railroad tressle at Butte! These busi
ness men, lawyers, editors, statesmen—
incited to murder.

Wigs could not have invaded a thous

not been on.
/ "The law sleeps during the war.
From Oregon, Arizona, Indiana and
Montana, from Bisbee and Butte, echo
the (blows struck by the economic
masters. ‘Now or never,’ they cry.
“The war is on, and the nation is in
peril. The tocsin sounds; the hearts
f.<f the people are stirred to their
depths. The guns noil. Men by tens
of millions are suffering. By millions
they are dying! To work, plutocrats!
be quick, while the chance offers!
Snatch a dollar here and a hundred
there Bab the widow; starve the
orphans; reap profits from the broker
bodies of men and boys, and mean
while set the screws of industrial op
pression a UNVs narder. Suppress dis
cussion; crush out opportunity; laugt

Get a stronger hold on resources, fac
tories, banks and railroads; cemenl
jour power. Make assurance doublj
sure, and hide the end!
“Autocrats; Despots! I’lutocrats;
Oligarchs! Setting the iron heel ol
your industrial tyranny upon the necl<
of a people that once boasted of its
freedom!

TRY THIS EXPERIMENT AND
KIND WHAT SORT YOU ARK
The following little conundrum i:
going the rounds of the press;
What kind of a man are you'
Are you carolecs, shiftless, a 'worth
less sort of a chap ,or are you reallj
a good fellow, efficent and pains
taking in all your efforts?’ Hert
is a simple method, advanced bj
the editor of the Pioneer, by whicl
you can find out just what you are:
Put down the figures representins
the year in which you were born
From this subtract 3.
Then vdd your age to this year.
Multiply the total sum by 1,000.
From the total you now have
deduct 699,423.
Then substitute for the figures
obtained the corresponding letters
of the alphabet, as A for 1, B for 2
C for 3, I) for 4. E for 5. F for 6
O’ for 7, and so on The letters
i bus obtained will divide themselves
into three words, which will express
to you what you are.
Try t Is is experiment and see.

First thing we know we’re going to have a Hone Dry country
out and out. Already the mighty pioliibition wave is engulfing
“demon rum" and the flood gates of righteous antagonism against
John Barleycorn is going to sweep him into everlasting oblivion.
Thousands of men in the country oxer are going to shortly find it
impossible to get their daily, most of them their hourly “nips"
and those fellows are going to look, up the best bottled drink they
ran get to wet their whistles with. They are not going to “get
off” booze, and drink any pink “tea slop” Oh no—they want
something with a delightful relish—a sparkle and a zest and the
AKHALA drink is going to fill the bill to a T-Y-T. Wets every
spot in the internal arid district, soaks it down good. No dust
left in your throat after a bottle of AKSAVA For sale every
where.
