BRADSTREET’S
REPORT FALSE.
Is effort of capitalists to ,
lay their sins upon
workers.
Bradstreet says the panic is due tc
the reckless living of the people. But
there must be some mistake some
where, for have the capitalists not
looked after that and kept wages
down so that the masses might'avoid
the horrible temptation of squan
dering their “great wealth”! Cap
italsm does not pay wages higher
than the standard of living of the
working classes compels—and the com
petition of men for jobs under the
capitalist system takes care of the
standard of living pretty well!
But anyway the Bradstreet claim is
preposterous, put forth as an explan
ation of the present panicky times.
It may sound big to some, perhaps,
because the name Bradstreet is behind
the statement. But back of that name
some one fallible human being wrote
the claim, and if it had been put over
his unfamiliar name no one would
pay any attention to it—such is the
reverence we have; JJfor big high
sounding titles as against unknown
individual names.
The idea of laying the sins of capital
ism en the shoulders ef the working
class is far from new. It is a well
fixed habit with capitalist writers
and “statesmen” The haunted, fam
ished, broken spirted working clas
usually get the kicks that naturally
go to a menial class under the system
that now rules the world. Capital
ism has to have a scape-goat— and
then there’s a national election com
ing od, and the workers must be put
into the proper state of mind so as to
yield up the usual number of capital
ist votes!
And there are cases where the mo
tive of giving low wages and exactinng
rigorous service out of the workeis
is beyond question—at least one can
draw his or her own conclusions!
We remember a case in point, in
which several years ago a labor union
walking delegate and a committee
from the central labor body in Mil
waukee called on a certain baker boss
who was paying his baker journey
man something like SO a week and
make him work seven days in the
week. “I look out for my baker,”
he said loftily. ‘‘If he had his Satur
day nights off he would go and blow
all his money!’ Who could question
the foresight of tht kindhearted
boss in keeping his employe at work
to save him from temptation, and in
keeping his wages down so that there
would not be much to blow in ease
temptation did over come the poor
drudges resistance!

FAIRBANKS NEWS CHARGES
W.F.M. WITH INSOLVENCY
Various charges have been made
against the Western Federation of
Miners. Some have been foolish,
some have been ridiculous, some even
criminal, but none so far that are
true. We have been condemned be
cause some of our members are for
eigners. This charge was uncon
scious satire inasmuch as the editor
of the News, who made the charge
is himself a foreigner; having been
born In a little town known as
Carrickfergus, county Antfim, Ire
land. He was made in the same
mould as another of our “Irish
Heart’’ friends.
We have been accused of anarchy,
and would be murderers, even though
no instance can be quoted where any
man has recieved even a black eye,
as the result of this labor trouble.
A man would travel through many
countries before he would find a more
orderly class of men than those com
posing the local branch of the West
ern Federation of Miners, and the
way this strike has been conducted
is nothing more than a Sunday school
class compared to some strikes that
have recently taken place on the out
side.
Throughout the entire trouble, the
average citizen has not felt the least
alarm from these “bold bad anar
chists”, and we feel sure that our re
putation will not be eullid in the fu
ture, despite the howlings of the Fair
banks News. *
The latest attack made by the Fair
banks evening News is to the feet that
the Federation cannot pay its bills.
We are also offering a reward,
ana it is to the extent of one hundred
dollars, providing the News can prove
one single instance where a checque
of the Union has been dishonored.
Our banker knows our financial
standing a good deal better than the
News, and we consider it would be,
more consistent for the propri
etors and editor of the News to pay
their respective debts rather than dis
cuss a matter of which they are abso
lutely ignorant.

TARIFF AND PROTECTION
This Is a wonderful nation and a
wonderful people. Look at all the
wealth the people own! The wealth is
here—you ocm see that easily enough.
And the people are here. It is a fine civ
ilization that produces such a wealthy
nation. How happy the people should
be especially when this great wealth
has come into existence as a result of
capitalist party legislation that had
foj its noisily avowed purpose the
"well-being of American labor.”
How the politicians used tov hold up
to the workingmen voters the horrible
pictures of the“pauper labor of Eur
ope”—no ‘‘full dinner pail” over
there. Only a prosperous working
olass was possible in a country where
the wise policies proposed by the capi
talist politician could be made into
law by the help of the labor votes nec
essary to get the wise politicians into
office.
Probably we ought to believe all
this, for the capitalist statesmen pre
chers and editors have told it to
us often enough, and yet the cold
hard truth is that it is not true, and
that the claims were never made hon
estly. The wealth is here, the work
ing people are here, but the wealth is in
the hands of relatively a few men
while the workers are in almost con
stant distress. If it is fun to be lied
to by capitalist politicians, then the
working class have had lots of fun.
An that is about all they have had
as, the following facts will show. Not
long ago expert acountants were em
ployed by the Woman's Trade Union
league of Pittsburg to secure statis
tics from the offciaTrecords of Allegh
eny County, Pa., and the resultant fig
ures have been startling in the ex
treme, for they show that 89 per cent of
the dead of Allegany County have
left no property, and that 3% per
'cent additional have left only enough
to bury them and pay their debts.
Another per cent left less than
five thousand dollars ,and another
per cent less than ten housand dol
lars’ This leaves but 1% per cent as
the owners of all the property in a
commnity of 15,000,000 of the weal
thiest people per capita on earth. We
say all the property, for it has been
shown that practically all left by the
98>2 per cent was the proceeds of in
surance policies. As against this
showing of widespread poverty there
is the disclosure that there are in
Alleghany County about 800 million
aires, including Carnegie’s 700 mill
ions, 300 each for Frick and Phipps, a
dozen others of 50 to 100 each, and
over a hundred others with over five
million each. And what makes these
figures more notable is the fact that
Alleghany County is in the heart of
the protected steel industry district.
Capitalist politicians have always
claimed that the tariff was designed
to benefit the American workingmen
and these statistics secured in Allegh
any County show that even there labor
gets the husks. Ex

PREAMBLE OF
THE W. F. OF M.
1. —We hold that there is a class
struggle in society and that this
struggle is caused by economic con
ditions.
2. —We affirm the economic con
dition of the producer to be that he is
exploited of the wealth which he pro
duces, being allowed to retain barely
sufficient for his elementary necessi
ties.
3. —We hold that the class struggle
will continue until the producer is
recognized as the sole master of his
product.
4. —We assert that the working class
and it alone, cau and must achieve
its own emancipation.
5. —We hold, finally, that an indus

PRIESTLEY TO
ISSUE SCRIP
Following the example of some of
our leading citizens, the edior of this
journal will, issue his own scrip. The
main feature will be the magic letters
stamped across the face, P. I. 15. G
The mystic cabalistic letters have
a variety pf meanings, in the first
place, they mean“Priestley’s Interest
Being Cirtificates. ” They also
mean “Perhaps I’ll Bull Con” “Pos
sibly I’ll Be Caught,” or “Poor In
vestments betray Confidence”. What
ever meaning may be placed on the
letters it is sincerly hoped that Public
Interest Be Caught sufficiently to in
vest lnthe new scrip. Perchance I’ll Be
Condemned for foisting more paper
on the market. Possibly I’ll be con
sidered as a crank, but my personal
Intention being Consistent I am hop
ing for a big run on the P. I. B. C.
i I havejots of security. My medi
cal adviser has told me that I shall
never suffer from liver complaint,
inasmuch as’my liver has all turned
to gall.
Under the circumstances, it will be
easily seen that my backing is of the
best. An unlimited suply of gall is
the most valuable asset in this coun
try and, taking everything into con
sderation, it will be seen that I am
perfectly confident to take my place
as a captain of Industry.

PREAMBLE OF
THE I. W. W
The working class and the employ
ing class have nothing in common.
There can be no peace so long as hun
ger and want are found among mil
lions of working people and the few,
who make up the employing class, i
have all the good things of life.
Between these two classes a struggle
must go on until all the toilers come
together on the political as well as on.
the industrial field, and take and hold
that which they produce by their
labor thru an economic organization
of the working class, without affilia
tion with any political party.
The rapid gathering of wealth and.
the centering of the management of
industries into fewer and fewer hands
make the trades union unable to cope
with the ever growing power of the
employing class, because the trades
unions foster a state of things which
allows one set of workers to be pitted
against another set of workers in the
same industry thereby helping defeat
one another in wage ware. The trades
unions aid the employing class to
rn islead the workers into the belief v
that the working class hare interests
in common with their employers.
These sad conditions ean be changed
and the interests of the working class-,
upheld only by an organization formed
in suoh a way that all Us members in.
any one industry, or in all industries,,
if necessary, cease work whenever a.
strike or lockout is on in any depart
ment thereof thus making an injury
to one an injury to alL
Therefore, without endorsing or de
siring the endorsement of any poiticah
party, we unite under the following,
constitution
