strikers. The men they are refusing
to employ, while they were kept at
work, had no time to think of anything
but eating and sleeping. They had no
time to study the problems Of a happy
and prosperous life, neither did thev
look further than to see that their stom-
achs were filled. But things are changed
with them now. They know what it is
to be out of employment with the dread
specter of poverty staring them in the
face. They have time now to look
around them and see the wretchedness
of the poor sad unemployed and the
helplessness of their case in the struggle
to live. 1t is safe to say Jay Gould has
made Socialists of half of them. So you
see that the man who thinks strikes do
no good is fool also.
Men who think they can crush out
organization and the spirit of progress
and liberty that is now struggling in the
minds of men for vent, is as big fool
as the man who sits on the safety-valye
of a boiler until the pressure of steam
bursts it. If men are to be victimized
because they are members of an organi-
zation which works openly in the light
of dav, they will also be fools If they do
not work in the dark and cover their
| tracks from the enemy.

THE BENEFITS.

Among the objections to eight hours,
is that it is wrong to ask la5orers who
have opportunity to work ten hours, to
divide that opportunity with the unem-
ployed, giving to the latter the benefit
of two hours Now those who take this
rather 1elfsh, but perhaps natural view,
should reflect that it Is better to give a
part than the whole. The unemploy d
are on the market. They compete for
the whole day OF ten hours and will get
it by Offering to work for less ages.
This is what has lowered wages all
along. For instance: Machinists earned
$3.50 per day twenty years ago. Now
the average is less than 1926. If the
surplus machinists could have been kept
at work, they would not have lowered
wages by competing with those who
have work. Eight hours will put them
to work, and prevent further reduction
ami perhaps cause a rise in wages.
Therefore the eight hour system will
benefit both employed and unemployed.
While workingmen are fighting each
other the capitalist is safe. Another
great objection, 30 often repeated is the
terrible injustice Of "ten hours pay for
eight hours work" Why the average
pay now, is three hours pay for ten
hours work Surely the capitalist can
endure to paw three hours production
for ight hours work. There Is at pres
ent no fixed value for an hours work as
this argument assumes.

CAPITALISTIC MEETINGS.

How contemplate, how damnable, is
the action of some capitalistiC gather
ings and their aids, the press. We read
daily of some chamber of commerce
meeting where resolutions are passed
censuring and breathing out threaten
lngs against strikers and boYcotters.
They cunningly cover up their meaning
by smoothly worded sentences reCOgniZ-
ing the right of laborers to organize and
use al moral and legal means to further
their interests. The ignorant, reading
some of their sayings, would naturally
think then honest, 80 carefully do they
see:E TO give to others the same rights
they claim for themselves. But, If these
men were properly understood, how ig-
nominious would be their fate from an
entrapped people. They know that as
the laws are now framed everything is
IN their own favor and against tne poor.
They know that while their laws are re-
spected they are sure to be successful in
their nefariOus schemes of robbing the
poor and needy-that they can 90 on
applying the screws of supply and de-
mand until men who have no money or
means other than their own labor will
be abject slaves.
If they did not know all this there
might be some excuse for them and they
might escape the wrath of people
when the scales fall from their ewes.

teries intended to annihilate the liber-
ties of the unwsry.
The chamber of commerce of New
York met on the twenty seventh in
slant and passed resolutions condemn
ing what workingmen could possibly do
to hurt capitalistic interests or benefit
themselves. They declared, among
other things, that any emplove leaving
his business and going on strike va
Gates his place absolutely.
Now all this is done with the know
ledge thai systematic course is pursued
to reduce wages to the lowest living

FOOLISH MORTALS.

thus stop the danger of be ng ousted by

There is too much sel6shness among men
IN the wage working ranks. Let every
organization in every city call monthly
meetings of all who follow the same
calling, whether they are organized or
not, find out their number and how many
are out of employment, and how much
work there is to do. When this is done

who should get the credit for keeping up
the wages of those having good paying
Jobs, by refusing the offers many times

employers; and wnen they suffer and

become heroes and the very pillars of
