10 THE EDITOR OF THE lhDIANAPoAlS lIMES:-
CoMRADK LIGHr- '~
MY DEAR FRiESD- Your kind letter OF 25th July
duly 10 hand. ! feel gratl1ed at the fact that you
have determined to hold labor demonstration at
indianapolis and deeply regret that circumstances
prevent my being present We havo little to hope
from the rule OF the pitalisc GLASS; which, at pres
ont, conducts the affairs OF tho nation, and must
never forget tLat 'the emancipation OF the workers
must be achieved by the workers themselves" Wo
may truly congratulate the soclalistic labor party
upon the success with which u has forced
upon the people q recognition OF the labor
question and thus mado II nattonal
question. Nay! question OF universal Importance.
The present unhappy CONDITION OF the laborer the
United States finds its parallel In almost every
ton due TO the cupdity and ignorance Of rulers
The object OF the sociaistic labor party 10
place government upon scientific basis; and to that
end radical change In the personnel OF the govern
ment Is an imperative necessity. This measure may
DO accomplished by the ballot. 1t then
essary 10 obtain disse the knowledge
sssary to the complete achievement OF the above aim
This measure can be accomplished only by
study and Cd ucatiou. From this II would iof.
low that the soclaiistic labor party must DO
both party OF action and party OF education. Tho
question OF its immediate or remote success will DO
answered by tho intelligence and vgor with which
members impel II toward the performance of this
twoold junction. Seeing that our brothers Of Indian
apolis are SO noby working toward these noble ends
! send them. through you, my heartfelt SYM
pathy most sincere congratulations Tell
them 10 fearlessly uniurl the rcd nag. to march
heart heart for It is the only symbol which repre-
ssuts the universal brotherhood of labor Peace love-
justice ana science-of these II ID the eniblom Tell
them 10 defend It as they would defend the honor
wh,chit symboIizes--ths honor OF humanity. Truly
yours In the holy Cause OF labor,
JUsTUs H. sCHwAB.
