1 felt IL Incumbent onto me to 90 TO Facfrv
VILE, a village hardly, and establish a Iodes
nv Nsshnels. nv the Kearney kind Faetrv
Vile wuz established by a company nv Massv
choosits disturbers, wich invadid the sacred soil
for the purpus NV manufactrin iron wich Is
found there in great quantities, and they hey a
mill into wich about a hundred men hev bin
employed. The price NV iron hevin gone down.
these graspin monopolists he'd the ashoorence In
ask their sufferin labers to TedoOse their wagis
givin the frivolous pretex that ez the price nv
iivin he'd gone down also, they Good afford 10
work for a trifie less. Ez most Nv the men
owned their own houses, wich they he'd saved.
and was comfortably fixed, they coodent git
away, and he'd TO endoor the ojus exacshuns nv
the grindin capitalists. And ez cOlleckshuns
wuz difficult, and they didn't git their wagls
with the regularity Of former yeers, they mur-
INJURED some, which felt IL my dOoty 10 i'm
prove. They needed leeder, for none NV 'em
knew how much they wuz sunerin Till / went
and told EN-.
he'd tolerable easy time NV It made EN-
two speeches, In which / showed EN- they wuz
groanin under q tyranny compared with wlch
the sufierins nv the Rooshun serf was nothin
and that they wood never hev ther own I'LL
they organized and crushed their oppressors. l
showed EN- that wat they wantid wuz TO crush
out capital, and be theirselves their own roo-
ers. 1t wuzn't hard 10 do. and the second mite
l organized a seckshun.
rms ritootlI writ myse II, basin IL on Kear-
ney's idee. II wuz very breef. and run suthin
like this:
''Hath the brother wrongs
''He hath. 4"
''Doth the brother brood?''
''He doth. -
''Is he successful broOier?''
'sHe is. e"
''Doth the brother loOk forward TO the time
when he will hev his iron heel on the neck nv
his oppressors, and Will hev the Iecherous em-
ployer by the throat?''
''He doth. -
''Doth the brother understand the yoose nv
box NV matehes?''
s'He doth. 8"
"Is the brother willin. in this holy crOOsads
NV labor agin capital. to buy his own Matches
or is he so eraven-spertid ez to ask the Order 10
furnish them?"
'Re Will buy his own
"Hath the wronged brother two dollars and a
half in his trowsers to help the coz, by suppOrtin
the agitstor?''
The wronged brother at this stage prodoOsed
the money, which 1 took to strengthen the coz,
and then perceeded with the lecter. 1 remarkt
that he wuZ a grovlin slave and that by layin
still he wuz addin to his bonds Wat ne wantid
TO do wuz to rise. He wantid to demand an
ekal divishun NV property, and ef this reasona-
Bile demand wuzn't aceeded to, he wantid TO de-
stroy wat property ther wuz. He wantid 10 de-
maDd an onlimitid issoo NV money, to be divided
in some wsy so that he wood git all that he
wantid, and that the hours NV labor snood be
fixed by law, and the wages also. He ShOod de-
mand sieh legislashen ez wood let MIN live
absloot luxury, no matter wat he WIZ. The
more incompetent or averse TO labor he wuz the
greater the dooty nv the governmental see that
he didn't want for anything. Ef after he ned
riz and these demands wuzn't grantid then the
matches shood come ill.,
/ inishiated the entire force NV the factry, and
the next morntn they marched In body TO the
mill and demandin their heaven-gtven rites
The oIoated employers tried to reason with EN-,
they Good afford to in the present deprest con-
dishn NV things, and that they wuz gittin now
ez much ez they wuz before. when the cost nv
Twin wuz taken into account They he'd the
impudence to Tell EN- that eff they he'd TO sceede
TO ther demands that they wood hev to snet up
the mills, and one NV EN- told the men that ef
they wood assoom the mortgages, ex well ez
the biznis, he wood be PERFECTLY wiliin 70 re-
linquish IL then and there.
The workmen wood hev yeeIded, but have
made EN- a speech wich whooped 1t up agin.
They became infooristed and moved on the
works. In less than a mint they had guttid
IL; in five minits it wuz in flames, and in
half-hour IL wuz in ashes, and the men firmly
but determinedIy moved of. The first battle
for the rites nv man he'd bin fought in Faetry
VILE, and the first victry NV labor over capita
In Kentucky he'd bin achieved.
The men wuZ jubllant, and congratulated
EN-. We adjourned 10 the grosery and poured
out libashens NV sod-corn WHISKY over our tri-
umph.
Things wuz boomin' for a day or two. FL
naIly the men begun TO git sober, and went
home TO their families. l notise by the close Nv
the third day an ominus change in the demeanor
toward me.
els the bosses goin to bid sgin?'' they asked
one NV another.
az ruther think DOT, " wuz the anser. 'Ihe
fact is, all that they he'd wuz investid IN them
mills, and that is gone. They hain't got nothin'
to build with
s'The merry hell you say. Then where are we
gofn' GIT workT"
That staggered em. They loafed about In a
listlis sort way for a day or two, but they
didn't enthuse very much. Invitashens TO take
suthin began to be uncomfortably fnfrekent,
and there seemed TO be a disposishun toward me
that didn't like.
"Yoo see, - sed one Nv EN-, ''that we hey
succeeded In getting our rites. We hev crushed
capital 1t is very crushed. We never saw q
more complete crushin out NV capital than this
Is But we can't see where we hev made apv-
thing by il, to any alarmin extent. We have
bustid capital efecIooally, and hey bustId
ourselves Jist ez edectooally. The meat har,
is low, the rour is goue, and we hain't got No
work. Yoo showd us how to bust capital--no,,
