Fifty of the lock workers have Sc.
cured better paying jobs in Alabama.
Labor Day being a legal holiday, all
workers sheuld turn out and enjoy
themselves,
1t is estimated that between twelve
and fifteen hundred men representing
the different trades will parade on
Labor Day.
Andrew Lame was elected as dele

The strike at the Bradford Lock Works

utmost regard for the absolute freedom

that these rights, in SO far as they must

or not to work, with all the natural re.

for US if we set no hope before us but
the continuance Of population of
slaves and shareholders for the country

the round of the seasons under our sys

produce the slum under the capitalist
system of turning out and selling mar

Turn the page, I.say. The bayfield, is a
pretty sight this month seen under the
elm, as the work goes forward on the
other side of the way opposite to the
bean-tield, till you look at the haymak-
ers closely. Suppose the haymakers
were friends working for friends on
land which was theirs, as many as
were needed, with leisure and hope
ahead of them instead of hopeless toll
and anxiety, need their useful toll for
themselves and their neighbors cripple
and disfigure them and knock them out
of the shape of men fit to represent the
Gods and Heroes? And If under such
conditions a new Ashdown had to be
fought against capitaliSt robbers this

perhaps as happy. - London Common

THE SAME OLD MENTAL ANARCHY.
To the Workmen'S AdUOcute:
One of the most amusing remarks
ever perpetrated by an anarchist in as
sailing socialism is to be found on the
editorial page of Liberty of July Goth,
over the initials of its acting editor.
"Why," queries Mr. Yarros in an at
tempted criticism of the Nationalist,
"instead of demanding the government
to forcibly abolish individual initiative
and operate in a field freed from the
presence of all rivals, do you not con-
sstently with your assurance urge upon
the government to honorably win SUI
premacy by display of greater skill
and capacity than is at the command of
the present tirms?"
If Mr. Yarros had a clear conception
of socialism he would be aware that
competition is its antthesis, its direct
negation; that all the maladies of the
social organism are traced by the social
| list to the present war between man and
man, and that the discOntinuance of
this war, the specialization of industry,
| the concentration of the aggregate
| human energy of society upon the
united battle against the rest of creation
! is therefore his ideal. "COmpetitiOn" Is
the socialists diagnosis Of pathological
society; socialism, the designation of its
normal state. Socialism, in other
words means non .competition. Substi-
tute the term by its correllative and
Mr.. larross proposition will read in
substance as follows: Prove the advisa-
bility of n0,-competition by having the
government compete with private enter
prise. This sounds like swimming on
land doesn't it, Mr., Yarrosf
The trouble with anarchists in gem
eral, and with the Liberty anarchists in
particular, is that, being all absorbed in
"A narrow minded contemplation of
modern governments, they cannot help
! Confounding the military government
| of the Gar with an embracing or
ganizat ion of production and all social
society appears in the double character
Of official and citizen. Thus Mr.. Var
ros, who, by the way, is perhaps the
ablest of the Liberty circle, regards gov
eminent in the modern and most mar
row minded sense of the word as the
desideratum and goal Of socialism.
As to Mr.. larross plan of the Govern
ment of the United States proving the
superiority of its post-othce depart
ment by allowing the rivalry of private
| postal concerns, we should remind him
| of the letter carrier. 1t is doubtful
whether any competition would ever
bring postage rates lower than they are
at present; but even granting that it
would, would the employees of the pri-
vate post-otfice establishments get the
wages now paid to the uniformed ser
wants of Uncle Sam?
There is no telling how much rot we
would be spared if the critics of social.

whether that is owing to the greater
average intelligence Of men at the pres
ent day, and to the progress of human
ity made since the time of the only de-
cent official that England ever had
Alfred the great, to wit; for indeed the
place and time are not favorable to such
questions, which seem sheer nonsense
amidst of all that waste of superahund-
ant beauty and pleasure held cut to men
who cannot take it or use it, unless
some chance rich idler should happen to
stray that way. My thoughts turn
back to the haymakers and their hopes,
and remember that yesterday morning

As turned away, thinking over all
the untold, unreliable details of misery
that lay within this shabby, sordid
story, another one met my ears A
laborer of the village comes to farmer
and says to him that he really can't work

away to two months lack of employ
ment, and then comes back begging for

the casual tragedy cut short; the casual
wrongdoer branded as person out of
humanity. But since they are so COM
