thief, three by the laborers, and
these six to select the "tilter' Of the
arbitration" see-saw.
Now, whether this he victory or
mott was gained by others than
the officials.
We are inclined to thank the men
who pIuckiIy "kiIled" the engines;
to praise the men who, while they re
ceiyed no reward in praise or cash,
still stopped the traffic that lined
the pockets Of miIIionaircs with
profits. Their names we know not,
but their deeds are known; they will
perhaps be prosecuted blackllSted
by consent Of the arbtrat0rs, but
they are the very men who made
arbitration possible. Their ylgor-
Gus action compelled attention.
But, some will say, do YOU sanction
violation of law? No; but when
laws are created by the tools Of Capt.
tai in the interest Of Capital and
against the interests Of the people;
when monopolists can boast Of pur-
chasing legislatures; when corpora
tions can violate their contracts with
the people with IMMUNITY; then the
exercise Of such force as the
strikers used may be condoned as
being really in the interest of the
people and against the privileges of
IA few money bags obtained by bribery
and corruption. We think it is
clear that the much-Iaudcd "arbi-
tratlon' has been secured by the
"unlawfuI" acts Of the strikers. If
Flaw is not strong enough to protect
the workers. it certain Y iS>not to be
regretted that it has been violated
in order to secure to them oven Il
chance of obtaining justice.

when the American worklng-classes
must secure Il complete change in
the policy Of the government, or
sink into the condition of landless
laborers in older countries. So long.
as the ruling class can keep them
quiet, or keep them interested and
excited over essentials, they
will do so. But, sooner or later, the
people will see how they have been
duped by the cunning of their OPP
ponents, and led astray, into a hun
dred tritlimg conflicts, by their own
enthusiasts and the short-sighted-
ness of their leaders, and then they
will unite. and, with irresistible
power. demand a total change, not
IN the forms, perhaps, nor in the
names of things, but in the policy
and purposes Of government. -Hayes

public will get the benefit Of their
strike, though many Of the noblest
strikers will be ground between the
CLAW" and the weakness of labor
"lcaders. T."
The matter narrows down to a
question between the public and the
monopolists. The public welfare in
the long run, will receive first con-
sideratIon. The remedy lies in the
hands of the people, and is expressed
in the first social demand of the 50
callst party, namely;
"The United States shall take posses
sion of the railroads, canals, telegraphs,
telepOnes, and other means of public
transportation and communication"
For the sake Of present private
gain the HOr}d and other capitalist
sheets sell themselves to combat this
necessary and soon to bcaccompIlshed
public act. We can not excuse them
on the plea of ignorance. They are
not ignorant. They are guilty Of
treason against the people,md should
be cIassed with the vilest corruption-
lists known in our social or political
history.

SATANIC PRESS.

There seems to be nothing that
the tools Of capitalism will hesitate
to do to bring discredit upon the
workers. Recently the Satanic press
published all over the land that the
railroad strikers had poisoned a
we'll. OF course the lie could not
stand. but its effect in creating preju-
dice was all that the villains who
promul gated the story counted upon.
Now we hear the most horrible
stories from Belgium. and they are
dished up before the public in Ian
guage calculated to arouse lndigna-
ton and horror The destruction
of "property" by the emissarles of
organized capital engaged in II des-
perate cause is laid at the door of
striking workmen. On the other
hand these vampires of the press
look with righteous approval on the
measures used by a contemplate
aristocracy to suppress" the dis
content of their starvelng serfs.
Here is a sample of aristocratic hru-
tality, as telegraphed to, or at least
! published by, the capitalist press:
General Van der Smissen has adopted
/ tactics very similar To those OF General
| Sheridan after the great fire AT Chicago.
/ The entire district is under strict martial
/ law. No citizen can stir abroad without
a pass from staff officer Resistance to
arrest means death. Every group of five
men or over is defined in general orders
rs a mob and is fired upon with hall cart
/ ridge after neglecting one summons to
dispense. Houses from which the troops
( are hahitually attacked are raided and
all the inmates arrested. II they resist
arrest too vicicusly the house is blown
up with gmpowder."
/ And 81 five citizens constitute Il
mob" in Belgium And the tactics
are very much like Phil. Sheridan's
tactics. A high recommendation. to

HAVE CONFIDENCE.

Statements are being telegraphed
all over the country that II. Y. Pow
DERBY cannot see any reason for the
Missouri Pacific strike, and that he
condemns strikes. As these state
ments come through interested chan
nels, it is worth while to accept them
with caution. Knights Of Labor
generally condemn strikes. They
also favor arbitration. Mr.. Pow
derby does neither more nor less.
And here it is also necessary to
impress on our friends throughout
the country that it is imperative to
trust each other. When trouble
arises in one section of the country
the organized labor of that section
must deal with it. Unless we have
confidence in their honesty and abil-
ity our organization is of little use.
Attempts are constantly being made
to create distrust of each of other,
the latest being with the action of
the X. of L. on the Missouri Pacific
Il. K. II this were capable of being
investigated by each member of the
order, such attempts might do no
harm, but as 1t is impossible for all
to slft them, it is certain such state
ments are circulated to weaken our
brothers. IJe cannot atord to do So
Similar statements were circulated
recently about a strike in Detroit,
and committees from distant assem-
blias were invited to investigate for
themselves. Even if it were possible,
such action would speedily destroy
ali confidence and unity, and speed
lily reduce us to the condition of a
number Of isolated unions, without
the power to compel respect. -Lobo,

ABOUT MORALS.

Leaf.

We have said that socialism, considered
as simply an economic system, will have
Il great influence, also, on morals-that
is to say, it will greatly affect our rela-
tons to what is right and wrong"
good and bad" moral and ''im-
moral" and, though there is really no
such thing as Socialist morals. may even
affect our conceptions of what is right"
and wrong
We have hitherto avoided, and pretty
successfully, we think, all commonplace.
all words involved in mist The above
ethical terms are, however, such com
monplaces. In order to begin, right at
the start, to clear away the mist, we
cannot do better than quote George
Eliot:
Let a contractor enrich himself by
making pasteboard soles pass as leather
for the feet of unhappy soldiers; let
speculator retire to private life on ten
thousand "A year after cheating widows
and Woodworking fathers OF all their
savings, you often hear charming women
pity such men, when they come to grief,
and eXcaim: He is a thoroughly moral
man, meaning thereby, that he is not
drunkard or debauchee. \
Is not this misuse of the word "Morals"
a reason why the ablest ntellects are
supposed to look on morals as sort of
tNIlI1ta for hths and tt,oI-..,.,
incident of human stupidity"
Now, to be sure the economic changes
which we have considered will contribute
vastly to the establishment of what we
cali the decencies.
Drunkenness, i. E., the habit of exces-
sive drinking, which our social reform
ers" pronounce the cause of almost all
evil, is to the philosophic mind nothing
but an effect, especially an effect of care.
When care is banished, we may be sure
that drunkenness will be hanished also.
Ii is absurd to suppose that happy
young man will 90 and get drunk more
than once, Bear also in mind, that when
the New Commonwealth takes charge of
the liquor traffic the dispensers of beer
and liquor will no longer have an interest
IN the quantities sold, and none but pure
and wholesome products will be sold.
As To sexual Irregularities we can say,
that they will hardly be heard of as soon

be sure, And the public press OF
the great American republic" gloats
over all this and endeavors to create
sympathy for the capitalists of for
eign country among American cltl-
Zens.
Is it necessary to adducc further
t'oof that private capitalism is an
International disease? And does it
not require an international remedy
universal organization for its uni
yorsal destruction?

We think.
Our correspondent, Ncubre, whose

We believe that the strength Of the

by some Of the prominent officials,
SO that instead Of being an attempt
at u COncealmcnt of weakness, the
tactics adopted are perhaps the re-
suit Of oycr-cautiousness, and a too

\ COMPLETE CHANGE NEEDED.

The capitalists rule this country,
and have ruled it for many years.
But for their greed and power it
would have been always the paradise
of workingmen. Even with all the
mischief they have done, it has been,
until recently. the best country in
the world for poor men, because lis
resources were so great that even the
crumbs which the grabbers dropped,
in their hasty scramble. more than
sufiiced to keep the innocent toilers
contented.
But those resources, which to our
grandfathers appeared ineyhaustible.
have been very nearly all appropri-
ated-and, unfortunately, our people
have hllndly permitted vast areas Of
land to be secured to private owners.
Land on which half \ million or
Il million of people must live, within
the next fifty years, has been, for a
mere trifle in money, made the per-
sonal property of one man; a prop
crty upon which no human being
has any legal right to set foot with
out the permission of the owner.
The time is rapidly approaching
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1886-04-04
WHO DID IT.

WHO DID IT.
The capltalIstlc caba is fairly
bnbbling over with praise promj-
nent officer in the labor army because
he succeeded in getting an interview
with the boss expIoiter of the land,
and after IL two hours conference or
dercd the striking employees of the
great magnatc to return to their
work. Was the pay Of these poor
people raised? No. We're they to
have shorter hours Of labor? No.
What was the gain then: Simply
this: Their boss had gracousIy
agreed to allow of ''arbItratlon in
the matter Of the differences existing
between him and his employees. Not
only the capitalist press, but also
many Of the labor papers, have over
flowed in Joyful eXuberance ut the
prospect Of "arbltration." 1t is
claimed that permission to arbltrate
from such a grand moguI us Gould
is u great victory; and ut the same
time it is claimed by the same very
thoughtful people that strikes are Il
failure. Let us admit, for the sake
of argument that permission to sub
NIT a grievance Of workngmen to IA
board of arbitration is u gain. Let
u take the case of the recent railway
strike, and sec by what means this
gain was secured. Peaceful re-
monstrance had no effect upon the
bosses. Threats of strike were
equally unavailing. At this stage
no arbitration was possible. Why:
Because the bosses had no reason for
arbtratng. They carried on their
business, and that was all they
wanted. It mattcrcd not to them
how miscrably their employees were
rcmuneratcd or how many hours
they shaved. The traffic continued
and the profits were forthcoming.
Then came the strike. Even that
had very little effect. Simple strik-
ing was not enough to bring the
company to terms. Let 1t be re-
membered that meanwhile. and for
years. the workingmcn had been
treated to nnumerablc homilies ON
the subject of strikes, They had
been especially warned against doing
acts of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS "interfere-
ing with the business of their en-
povcrs. Bear this in mind.
Nevertheless. the strikers did in
terfere with the removal of freight.
They "inyitcd' the locomotive en-
ginecrs to leave their cabs, and they
"killed" the engines. They succeed
ed in bringing the carrying business
To Il standstill. as far ~ the roads
affected were concerned. The howl
ing of the bosses against such high
handed proceedings echoed through
the land and into the courts of
justice (:).
| Then, at last the proud railway
kings, sttr-nccked enough still,
however, condescenled to have an
interview with l.abor's otliclll. and
we are told that the matter at Issue
will be "arbitratcd" by seven men.
