Free Ford and Suhr or Let Hop. Rot.

With a singular unanimity, that one instinctivelyfeels to be inspired, the capitalist papers of this Statehave published sicmultaneously during the past weeka paragraph to the effect that the hop-growers ofCalifornia are prepared to accept the recommenda..tions of Dr. Carleton Parker, and so amend condi-tions in the hop-fields during the picking season thatis now rapidly approaching, as to prevent the pos-sibility of another spontaneous outbreak such as tookplace on the Durst ranch last August.

The Sacramento Hice, while ascribing all the praisefor this result to l)r. Parker, at the same time naivelyadmeits that if this remodelling of camps and condi-tions is put into effect, then last year's uprising willnot have we'in in vain, thus confirming, strangelyenough, the statement that H. M. Royce, one of theattorneys for Ford and Suhr, made before the Courtat Maryaville, whetn Judge McDaniels passed on themthe outrageous sentenslc of life imprisonment, that"These men, by their work in helping to organize aiprotest against the intolerable and indecent condi.tions on the Burst ranch, have done more good forhumanity than if they had lived long and usefullives in the midst of a peaceful community."

It is a remarkable fact, however, that the recom-Mendations that the hop-growers now signify theirwillingness to, accept at the suggestion of Dr. Carle-ton Parker, are essentially the salme as are embodiedin a certain mysterious sticker that has appearedbroadcast in every county in the State, setting forththe demands of the hop-pickers for the season of1914. At the head of these is the demand that Fordand Suhr be granted a new trial at once and dis-distinsed, OR NO 1101'S WILL 1BE PICKED.

Now, while the hop-growers are now expressingtheir willingness to the rest of the conditions,-through the intervention only of Dr. Carleton Parker,the State and Federal investigator, of course,-yetthey have given no sign as to their attitude on thefirst and chief of those demands, namely, the releaseof Ford and Suhr, still unjustly rotting in the jailat Marysville.

Soume of them may consider that it is no affair oftheirs, and that as the imatter has still to come upbefore the Appellate Court next July, they can havenothing to say on that particular demand.But as the same' hop-growers are already entering

into contracts for the disposal 'of this season's crop,it might be expedient for them to make perfectlysure that their crops will be picked, by out and outac.ceptance of all the demands in the sticker.

Such officials as Governors and Judges of everyd(egree, in this State, as in all others, owe their ap-pointmnents to their economic masters. And it is avery old proverb that those who pay the piper callthe tune.. The hop barons in this State are strongenough in importance and influence, to pass the wordalong that Ford and Suhr must be released, with thecertainty that their word will be listened to atten-tively.

If they will not do so, then they must be made torealize, by the action of the working-class, that theircontracts for the disposal of this season's crop areboth premature and vain.

FOR YOUR COUNTRY.

By Goo. (. ALUes.(Air: "In My Harem")

Down in Mexico old Greasy JohnHad kept an oily eye for years on great resources.

When the Mexicanoe went to warHe tried to run their oil where Standard River

Courses.Woodrow Wilson helped his game by starting a malee;

11uerta would not shout for him-that hurt hisdignity-

Then he went and sent some mothers' sons'Way down in Slaughterland to fight and feed the

guns.

CHORUS.

Four your country, your country,You're asked to go to Mexico;And storm that land all goryWith arms of dear "Old Glory;"To capture all the rubber and to seize the oil.ields,And help John DI. to take by force the things he

wants to steal.Four your country, your country,We'll stay behind and watch and be so glad you

went;We'll erect a monumentFor your memory and Mexico's.

.lister Sizzorbill who wants to fight,

Who' a never been in battle with a foreign brother,'Ihinks the light is always on one aide;

And some day he will sure come bask to see hismother.

Hollow honors won't atone for taking human life,Won't atone for breaking heart of sweetheart or

of wife;Still your schoolboy wants to take a gun

And beat it south to set the greasers on the run.

FORESTMEN AND FARMERS.

Bfore the Farmers come the Foreatmen. The,nagnuiliceut forests of the South are almost de-

stroyed. The way is nearly opened for the Farmersto comie in. Low are they coming I Unless all signsfall they are coming as 'I'ENANTS to Lumber Kingsturned Land Lords. The Forest Peon is to give wayto the Land Peon, or rather, he will probably bedriven to compete with the Working Farmers for abare existence. The vast estates of the LumberKiings will be fenced in. The sign, "Private Prop-•ety, Keep Off," will be posted over whole countiesin the South, is already so posted, in fact. Then, ason the big Taft Ranches in Texas, the Farmers willbe herded in I'rivate l'owns, just as the Lumber andSugar Workers are herded today. Great machineswill be used everywhere, not to save labor for the\Workers, but for the Capitalist Land Lords,not to happily the human race, but to stillfurther crich the rottenest aristocracy that everate the heart out of soc:iety. That's what we arefacing, and nothing but ONE lilG UNION powerfulinduf to take the Lands and Machines for those whotoil will be able to stop it.

'r'h Forestnren are the brothers of the Farmersin f'act, Forestry is rightly a part of AgricultureSo tlhe Forests should be conserved not for a handful,,fr,,,gs, KLirbys and Ilardtners, but for all the chil-lre,, of mIIen, not to support arlmies of gunmIen andlf.cl.,tives, but free and healthy mnen, women and

,hildren. That's the aimi of the 1. W. W. That'sS.hy the Capitalist.s and land Lords hate and curse

thisl great I nion so. T'IIEY KNOW that Labor or,ralizIig ton the plmans and acting on the principlesI' Ihe 1.. W W. will soon be free. When Labor is

'rie, 'I'TllEY will have to go to work, and they pro-ose,' t, work 'YO;, the Workingmen and Working

Iu"ariers, *just as long as you will stand for the\ orkinig. and work your children to death, as well.:;,t in li.' fo',r freedom. Join the ONE BIG UNION!

"Whereas, notwithstanding these well known factthe New Orleans "Item," which is purchased am.subscribed to by many of our members here antthruout this State, has seen lit, without a aeintilof facts to go on, charged some of our Colorado fellow-worker members with the alleged crunme of attempting to burn innocent women and babies afteipenning them up in a mine; and,

Whereas, from absolute facts we have obtainedwe find no justification for this false and maliciouseditorial, and condemn it as a premeditated attemipto discredit our organization, and to create in tuminds of workers and the unthinking the idea thatwe are an aggregation of incarnate fiends, bent o-i reaking senseless cruelty on women and childrenand babies; while as a matter of fact, you and all U(srest of the prostituted press, patrons of the plumderbund, pudlanimous preachers, pandering priestspolitical prostitutes and murderous minious of muumagnates and marauding militanmen, know that the1.

FARMERS AND OTHER WORIKE•S

Our Plag t be asntatdYe, our Wlag, the Flag of humanity i• a. agles

dyed with the blood of milions of workers ment besalatd and reeected.

To enfoer respect for our fla and the priasiplesit stands for reqaires our own adhernce to. thoseprinciples; calls for consistency on the part of theorganamse of the One-Big sad'Eaetial Union ofall workers. The greatest numerical body of work-er, those engaged direct in agriculture, are not or-ganised as. workers so any • ne would notice it. Norcan any one outside of their ranks, nor the wholetribe of Labor Leaders (with (lompers and Bergerthrown in to make weight) organise them. Theymust organise themselves, determine their own qual.ifications for members and the principles on whichall working farmers can unite. The about three mil-lion wage workers and double that number of ten-ants and wageless workers and slaves to slaves; allnon-exploiters whether they sell their labor productor labor power, can be united. And that great In-dustrial Union can be united with all other work-ers, the wage worker, the tenant, the small farmerand the fourth elass, the slaves to slaves, cannot beseparated or made to fight each other. Their Unionwould not be for the abolition of the wage systembut the profit system. And as the organization forprofits is diM integrated, an organization called LaborCo-operation must be built up.

There will be in a farm workers' union some de-mnands not found in wage workers' unions. We namesome demands that should be made:

"Occupanrcy and use under social direction shallbe the only title to land.

"Social ownership and operation of all the agen-ties and essentials for the production and distribu-tion of products.

'" Time spent in production under social direction.using best methods and machines, shall be the measure of values. All exchange shall be at labor cst --this determined by a system of public accounts.

"Scales of wages and price of products will befixed by the union.

" Farmers must be prohibited from scabbing onthemselves; workers from other occupations must beprohibited from scabbing on wages or prices; and,with the aid of the Big Union, all scabbing on theunorganized workers or fraternal unions must, bymoral suasion, or other direct action, be made un-sanitary."

I could suggest more, but am not an organizer andhave no intent of leaving the Labor Co-operaUvefarm. But we need the Big Union, and it wouldplease me to have the opinions of other workingfarmers.

In distributing bundles of The Voice among tim-ber workers, it has become evident to me that thefarmers can much more easily be organised. Theytake to the idea of strikes against land rent, interest,railroads, like ducksLto water.

Our workers, driven by economic pressure fromthe farms, in order to live, must compete for man-ters in other industries. Also the townsman in hisignorance buys small tracts of land and scabs onfruit and truck growers. We cripple each other andleave the exploiter in possemion. We can benefitonly by joining our forces for one industrial pur-pose.

It is time to quit the hysterics over an occasionalkilling by militia and look over the whole field andorganize our full force for the not yet decided fight.Every day in the year a worker is killed in this Gulfregion. The papers make no mention of the killingof workers, the courts indict no murderers. Thir-reen workers killed in this little county in one year.or rather we know of that many. The killed aremostly farmers' sons.

1 see no relief from this condition except by or-ganizing industrially so strong and on Such a planthat an injury to one worker will be the concern ofall. So strong that workers can, if necessary, fight)hack with every agency used against thema, and thenonice more. Fred Freeman.

NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL UNIONS.

I know of only one really useful function which I

am quite sure that a National Industrial Union can

perform; and that is to collect information about a

given industry, classify this information and dis- Itribute it to all the locals of that industry. There

may be other work which a N. I. U'. can do, but 1

can't happen to think of it just now; anyway, this 1

is undoubtedly the most important.

DISTRIC'P ORGANIZATIONS.

It would be the function of a District Organization t

if ue had one, to collect information of local indus-

tries and their inter-relations within the district; to

keep informed about the progress of the work of 4agitation and organization in the various localities 1

in the district, as well as about the qualifications and

activities of the organizers and active members. This

information should be classified and supplied where-

ever it could be used to advantage. The District Or-

ganizat ion should assist in the routing of speakers

within the district, as well as in the publication and

distribution of literature. It should facilitate co-

oelsration between the locals in the struggles against

local employers' organizations, and in the resistance

against political oppression; and should assist in

publicity campaigns, and in the collection of funds

for strike support. The geographical limit of a dis-

t rict organization would naturally be determined by

local conditions, such as the means of communication

and transportation.

TIHE GENERAL OFFI('E.

The- logical function of the general office is to keep

financial matters straight between the various sub-

divisions of the organization. and to assist in the in-

tcrchange of communication. It should keep on file

all informatieo n collected by the various sub-divisions.

SIPECIAL BUREAUS.

Spei.ial conditions would require special offices or

bureaus, such as a bureau of the unemployed, a bu-

reau cf industrial accidents and occupational dis-

eases, a bureau of legal defense (not necessarily to

e.mploy legal talent, but to facilitate publicity andcollect data). All these bureaus should have their

local sub-divisions. not elected or appointed, but

e,,mnposed of members who are active and interested

in that particular work.

CONCLUSION.

'These suggest ions are not offered as a ready made

pilaun. to be swallowed whole or rejected. They are

intended only to, stimulate thought, and to be adopt-

ed only as they are found necessary. A revolution-

ary organization is a living organism, which must

grow. t cannot be built according to a ready made

plan. : B. E. Nilsson.

"WE'LL WHIP THEM IN THE SOUTH."

As one of the leaders of the strikers (Colorado

Minecrs lay dlying after suffering untold agonies from

te.rriblle wounds inflicted by explosive bullets. some

thing that is not used by 'eivilized nations on their

hattlefiels. hlie sang with his last breath:

" W, whipl,'-d them in the North boys,

W,'il whip them in the South.

Shouting the battle cry of Union."

That hercic' union man was right. We will whip

the-nc in the South. And when I say them I mean

.lclmi 1). Rockefeller, John II. Kirby and all that lily-

tingered. craven-souled, yellow-livered crowd of mon-

sters who has Ammons in Colorado and Tom Ball in

Texas and Luther HIall in Louisiana.

What of the future! The miners recognizing, as

('Carrol I). Wright and other eminent authorities ree-

I cgnizcd years ago, that law has broken down and

auarcehy is ruling the State have proceeded to pur-

c-hase gnt.cs anl aunmunition in Colorado and other

jpoints. Associated press reports may tell the people

that these guns will be given up but they will be

ipurrchasc d in ever innreasing quantities until the

.300).4tH) organized coal and metalliferous miners are

arcedl to the teeth and prepared to fight for the lib-

erties that the plutocratic anarchists have denied

them. With this policy The Rebel is in hardy accord.

Every I'nicn man in the United States and every

syrnpathizer of labor should proceed to arm himself

at ,nce and then if the plutocracy wants to settle af-

fairs by shooting it out we will meet him foot to foot

aed then w, e will have no more Ludlows."The Rebel."

Judging from the way thugs, gunmen. deputy

, sheriffs. etc.. are running the country, we have ar-

rived at the conclusion that the evolution of murder

has about m.(,e to the revolutionary point.

The flesh of a dead militiaman would give a vul-

ture the cholera.

MERRYHELL HAS A FLOOD.

The Great Nazarene Is Agean paing his respectsto merryville and it seams that he has maney new v

tricks to lern the american lumber company while 7

he is here as it started to raining yesterday morningand last night they was forced to cut the dam at thenew mill to keep it from washin the dam mill awaythe damage to the mill and the lose of lops is esti-mated at $75,000 and is still raining to night. TheSanta Fee allso fell aire to a heavy lose in the wayof washouts. The Boss said to day that it would besixty days befor they can run the new mill if everything worked in thear favor and that they might getthe old mill to running in thirty days but it wasvery dotefull. I over heard a bunch of the GoomCitisons League talking to day and one of them sadthat the Damb I. W. W. had rouined Merryville and 8

it looked like the LORD was helping them to finish

the job by washin the mil away. I beleeve that theI. W. W. GOD is a Just GOD, for He seams to be adecentent of MOSAS GOD, as He is a revengefulGOD and seams to think that people should treat teach other right.

WE find in Matthew 3an 10 (and now also theax is laid unto the root of the tree therefore everytree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewndown and cast into the fire).

We want the Good Citisons Leagers to understand

that our GOD don't neather forgive nor forgit, andthat the Grabow massierea is still fresh in his mind.And the Judgment day that is coming all guilty par-ties would haf to ancer to thear respective name asthe Gunman would be ask wat he had don to be there,and he would say that he went out and shot work-men down for the boss and the boss would be calledand ask why he had bird workers shot down like wild

beast and he would say that it was to make them work

for starvation wages, then the Sherff and his deptieswould be ask why they ditent stop that Lawlessness

and he would hafto say that he had erested all of the

workin men that he had fond that was not at workand had put them in jail and on the road. Then

the Judge would be called on to tel his side of the

story and would be ask why he had convicted so

meney working men and let the real criminals go

free to Murder and steal at wil. The Govnor would

be judged acording to his sins allso and would be

ask if he had not furnished Big coperathions with

arms and men to shoot down working men with, and

would be ask why he had not protected the lives of

working men the same as he had gunmen and thugs.

TIlE man that puts up a defence for them would

probely get the same anscer that TOMAS PAINE

got from the Frenchman at the trial of Louib the XVI.There is a two leged thing that walks about in

Merryville; some people cal it names, one of them

being BOB. WILBORN; anyway it can talk, and itwas heard to say not long since that its name musent

appear in the Lumberjack any more, not knowing ot

him ever doing any thing but talk, we would hafto

let him of' tho he is the fellow that sed that the union

men had been runing and that they had to keep it up

and is one of those undermining curs that can all-

ways tel somi body wat to do but never does anything

himself except make a noise like any other huon that

rases hell until he sees sompthing and then goes and

croules under the bed and staes until things is quite

agen and then comes out and barkes som more to

keep people awake at night, but he has becom a back

number even at that. We want all theves to no that

we have ai GOD and a good GOD to and a revenge-

ful GOD is he and that an inger to one is an ing.rto all. Locwol No. 218 is coming to the front agen and

Merryville would be a Union town yet or no town

at all as a cople of more years would just about finish

it up under the REED and MASON rule which they

have declared must continue. We must be able to

use the argement that the Gunmen can undestand

and when they show force then we MUST use force

and quit; HIELL FIRE, NO, NEVER, for our mis-

sion is to win, and win we MLUST at any cost.

A SUGGESTION.

Here is something that might be of some benefitto sonmle Locals, as it is helping the marine transport

workers in their struggle to build up a concrete or-

ganization. Every Local in the N. I. U. of M. T. W.

sends a copy of the minutes of their business meet-

ing to all other Locals, although sometimes in some-

what condensed form. This not only informs every

member of what is going on in the other Locals, but

it puts more courage into every man's heart to know

that other men in other places are fighting for the

same ideals as hlie is. It also keeps the Locals to-

gether and prevents rash steps, such as happened

at Stockton and Vancoucer. What the M. T. W. does

cm;uld also be done by the Tobacco Workers, Textile

Workers. (Construction Workers, Forest and Lumber

Workers, and other Locals that are in the same in-

dustry. If it took too much time to read them in

regular business meetings, they could be put on file

for any of the members to read. In this way a lot

of disruption and misinformm:tion could be avoided.

Hoping this will prove helpful to somebody, I

remains, Yours for O. B. U., .lohn Dowe.

BIG ANTI-WAR MEETING IN SEATTLE

Sunday, May 3d, the I. W. W. and Socialist Party

held an anti-war mass meeting in the City Hall Park

in the afternoon for the benefit of the fighting coalminers of Colorado.

We tried to get the co-operation of the A. F. of

L. but the Central Labor Council turned us down,and advertised the fact in the daily papers, and also

in their own paper, the Seattle Union Record, but in

spite of this fact the meeting was a big success, the

collection was $100.50. The I. W. W. had during the

week collected money to advertise the meeting, and

after paying $15.00 for hand bills, with which the

I. W. W. flooded the city, and for which one of our

members. Ed. Roasa, was arrested and fined $10.00

(but he preferred to be the guest of the city rather

than help pay tribute to maintain po&icemen and

judges); $5.50 remaining from the fund for adver.

tising was added to the collection, the $106.00 was sent

Monday morning to James Morgan, secretary-treas.

urer. District No. 22, IT. M. W. of A., Box 904, Che-:-enne, Wyo.

At the evening meeting in our own hall $15.00 was

collected for the Wheatland defense, and same for-

warded Monday morning to Don D. Scott.

BUSTED STRAWBERRY FARMERS.

The capitalist press of several days ago carried

news items to the effect that the Strawberry Farm-

ers in Tangipahoa parish were picking and destroy-

ing their berries because market prices were below

the cost of production. The Sup-Press, however,

failed, as it always does, to give the farmers the rea-

son for this Ansanc condition of things. The reason

therefor was the same as caused thousands of bushels

of peaches to rot on the ground in Angelina county,

Texas. and around IDe Ridder, La., about a year ago.

And that reason was lthat the workers in the sawmillsand factories of the South are also working below the

cost of produc'tion ad so could not afford to buy the

strawbcrries cand peaclhsc raised by the farmers of theSouth.

Just stop for a iminute. you working farnmers, and

ask yourselves if there could be an insaner state of

affairs than this. Hlere you have worked for months

in sun and storm to raise strawberries, and you go

broke tbecause you can't sell your products. Then

think of the fact that this peach and strawberry

coulntry is surrounded by more than 200.000 forest

and lumber workers. Then ask yqurselves why it is

that 200,000 Lumbelrjacks, living right at your doors,

can't by themselves alone c',nsume your products?

You know very well that it is not because they do not

like strawberries and peaches that the Lumberjacks.

their wives and childreL are not consuming your

products. That you well know. Then, what is the

reasonm it is because the Lumberjacks are workiny

bclow' th c'ost of EXISTENCE and so are unable to

buy of you.YOI, like the Lumberjacks, are getting up against

the "LABOR SAVING MACHINE" and, unless you

both gett together and TAKE the Ibbor saved by these

nmachines for YOURSELVES, you are both going

to enter a hell of PEONAGE and TENANTRY more

cruel and degrading than any of the past slwveri.es

that have cursed and dehumanized mankind.

It's up to YO()I. WThat are YOU going to do about

it ? l)estroying your berries andi peaches and cotton

will not cure the ills from which you suffer. Only

the freedom of ALL lalbor can do that. The I. W. W.

is out demanding FREE LANI). FREE MINES.

FREE SHIPS. FREE WORKSHIOPS THE

WORLI) OVER. or in other words, the OWNER-

SIl' OF A FREE WORLD BY FREE WORK

ERS. Where do YOT' stand. with those who are

fighting to ROB the world or with those fighting to

FREE the world?

Come, join us! Hear the battlecry of the Lumber-

jacks--"DON'T BE A PEOU! BE A MAN!"

THE LOGIC OF TO-DAY.

agunar tJedbeard, is "lMskht is tigkt."

Might was Right when Caesar bded upon the stones of Rome,Might was Right when Joshua led his hordes o'er Jordan's foam.

And Might was Right when Uerman troops poured down thru Paris gay-It's the Gospel of the Ancient World and the Logic of To-day.

Mlight was Right •when Gideoen led the "chosen" tribes of old,And it was right wheen 'l'itcus burnt their Telmple roofedl with gold;And Might was Rigft from Bunker Hill to far Manilla Bay;By !.nd antI tlooi it's wrote in blood -the GUipcl of To-day.

.dight was Right when Carthage flames lit up the I'unic foam-Arul whe'n. the lnaked steel of (Gau', weighed down the spoil of Rome;

And Might was Right when Richmond fell-and at Thermopayle-It's the Logic of the Ancient World and the Gospel of To-day.

Behind all Kings and Presidents, all Government and Law,Are army corps and cannoneers to hold the world in awe;And sword-strong races own the earth and ride the Conqueror's Car--And Liberty has ne'er been won, except by deeds of war.

What are the lords of hoarded gold-the silent Semite ringstWhat are the plunder-patriots---high-pontiffs, priests and kings ?What are they but bold master-minds, best fitted for the fray,Who comprehend and vanquish by--the Logic of To-dayt

Cain's knotted club is scepter still-the "Rights of Man" is fraud:Christ's Ethics are for creeping things-true lmanhood smiles at God;For Might is Right when empires sink in storms of stee!, and flame,And it is right when weakling breeds are hunted down like game.

'l'hen what's the use of dreaming dreams that "each shall get his own"By forceless votes of meek-eyed thralls. who blindly sweat and moan tNo! a curse i.s on their cankered brains, their very bones decay:

Go! trace your fate in the Iron LGanic, is the Logic of To-day.

The Strong xmust ever rule the Weak. is grimn Primordial Law-On earth's broad racial threshing floor. the Meek are beaten straw--ThIen ride, to Po'wcr o'er foremen's necks, let ,cothing bar your way:

IF you arce FIT ycu'll rule and reigen, is the Logic' of To-day.

"Put :ao trust in i'rinces," is a saying old and true," l'ut nio hole in 4 ;ove'rnmeiIents ," tr;i asliateth it iriew;

All "Books Lf l'aw" and "Go'den Rules" are fashioned to betray -"'The Survival of the Sttronlge'st" is the (.t helIc of 'r'o-toiy.

Where pendant suns il mnllions swing around this whirling earth,It's Might, it's Force that holds the brakes, and steers thru !ife and death;Force governs all organie' life. inspires all Right and Wrong -It's Nature's plan to weed-out man, adl TEST who are the Strong.

0

You must lprove your Right ly deedss of Might, of splendor and renown;If need-Ibe marc'h thru hlimes of hell, to dash opponents down -If need-be dcie on scaffcel high, ine the morning's mi.ty gray:Ior "'1,IIIERTY '' OR I)E,\''lII" is still thee Log-ic' of To'e-day.

No,t W\ h;ave' Itake the' lilert to arrange this grea't pec.t i1e thee wev we believe it should flow.-C H)

Railroad Workers, Get Busy! ACTTO-DAY.

All Woodsmen, Attention!Fellow-workers and all slaves, stay away from

But, as always, the I. W. W. got wise and beatthem to it. The job is tied up right, not a manworking. So all workers help keep it so by stayingaway untill we drive the boss into submission, andimake ,one step farther away from peonage.

Yours for victory,PRESS COMMITTEE, L. U. 275

THE PREAMBLE.

The working class and the employing elss havenothing In common. There can be as pease aslong as hunger and want are found amonsg ualions of working people, and the few, who makeup the employing class have all the gooed thipof life.

Between these two classes a sruggle must oon until the workers ef the world organise as aclass, take posseesaon of the earth and the machinery of production, mad abols the wagse sre.

We End that the contorina of the malsstmeatof Industries Into fewer and fewer harnds makesthe trade unions unable to cope with the everw-growing power of the ompioying clams. Ibho tradeunions tfoster a state of affairs which allows oessat eof workers to be pltted against aother set efworkers ina the same Induatry, thereby helpian deo-feat one another in wags wars Moreover, thetrade unions aid in omployinas clam to mislead theworkers inte the bellef that the worklng clas haveIntereets In common with their employers.

These conditea. can be changed and the Inter-et of the working class upheld only by ma orglanlzation fermed in such a way that all lls memberain any one industry. or In all industries, if neceO-sary, cease work whonever a strike or lockout Ison in any departmsnt thereof, thus making aninjury to eSe as Injury to all

Instead of the conservative motto: "A fair day'swage for a fair's day's work." we must nscribeon our banner the rovolutleoary watchword:"Abolition of the wage srstem.

It is the historic mission of the worklinag classto do away with capitalism. The army of preo-duction must be organized, not only for the every-day strusgle with capitalists, but also to carryw oaproduction when capltalism shall have been over-thrown. By organizig industrially we are formlngtbhe Structure of the now society within the shollof the old.
