This corporation parasite has

OF course! 1t could not be other
wise. This stock gam bling tool
must do as it's masters order it to
do. But the monumental gall
comes in with the announcement
that it proposes to organize "sound
money! clubs among the railway
employees. This implacable foe of
ORGANIZED labor has become exceed
ingly solicitious about the "poor
employees" just as the hungry wolf
is concerned in the we'll being of
bleating lamb. All the campaign
orators combined cannot make
railroad employees a stronger argu-
ment in favor of Bryan and Watson
than the mere fact of the Railway
Age being against them: This
venomous organ has again and
again befouled all the organizations
of railway employees, nor has it
ever had word to say in their favor
unless there was a corporation ak
to grind, and any railroad man
whose vote can be controlled by

other time. Their existence in
those spheres cannot be denied.
Instead of individual production
for the use and benefit of the indi-
vidual producer, we have come
through the evolutionary process
to a state of collective form Of pro-
duction for individual benefit. The
form of production is changed, the
form of appropriation of the
product is the same. This antago-
nism between the modern form of
producing goods and the form Of
their appropriation is daily caus-
ing untold suffering to humanity
and is the cause of such a glaring
inconsistency: the richer the Coun-
try the poorer the people, the
wealth of the country falling more
and more into the hands of few.
It is also the cause of the industrial
panics when people are punished
with starvation because they have
produced too much. 1t has become
a social anachronism. Is it not
then historically reasonable that
harmony between the form of pro-
duction and the form of appropria-
ton of the product, without which
the productive powers of society
cannot develop further, should be
the next necessary step in the pro-
gress of human society? And do
not the socialist thinkers, who de-
mand the collective ownership of
the means Of production and dis
tribution, and their operation for
the benefit of all the producers,
offer the most practicable solution,
which facts, and nothing but facts,
dictate to the unprecedented mind?

The Church and Labor.

The time has come when those
engaged in the preaching of the
gospel to the people sh0nld stand
on the platform on which their
ideal Christ was the first advocate,
in studying the Bible in it's present
form and adapting it to the present
day: We find that Christ went
among the common people and
taught them that socialism which
is being developed in the trades
unionism of today. He instructed
them to secure those rights which
legally belong to them: the right
and privilege of freedom to exercise
that power given to all men, a free
will Of their own; but which is be-
ing taken away from our fellow
toilers day by day: They are not
allowed to use that God given
power; or If they. do use it they
have to leave their homes and
families and become members
of that great army of the
unemployed who are destined
to eternal trampdom. Not
only are we denied the right
of our will power by monopoly but
we are also denied, to a certain ex-
tent, the right to live, as the wages
which are at present paid to mil
lions of our fellow toilers are in
sufficient to procure that which is
necessary for the sustenance of the
daily exertiOns which we have to
make.
We hear our ministers telling us
to seek the narrow way which leads
to Eternal Life; but when we come
to look at the environments of our
people and the conditions under
which they labor, are we surprised
to see our sisters losing all sense

done and attempted to do for
American labor, the haggard fact
remains that workingmen were
never so oppressed, so degraded, so
utterly wretched as they are to-day.
Who dare deny it? Millions are
working for niggardly wages and
cover like poems at the approach of
their bosses. and millions
of others who have no
work at all are trembling
on the ragged edge of starvation:
If this is the best that organized
labor can do for the victims of cor
porate greed and capitalistic raPac
ity, we have no hesitancy in saying
that it's mission is a total failure.
and that it were better to disband.
But such is not our conclusion.
Labor has been cheated and robbed
by a gang of brigands because it
has kept out of politics. The testi-
mony is overwhelming. The mem
bers of the A. r. u. know by bitter
experience what it is to keep out of
politics. Whatever other organiza-
tons may or may not do, they pro-
pose to go into this political fight
in a solid body. They are after the
gang of corporation managers and
POLITICAL hirelings who used the
powers of government to overwhelm
them two years ago. That was done
by "c0rporation politics." A little
Organization politics" for change
will be in order. The members of

almost anything beneath the sun,
but they can't be enjoined from 60

and voting for Bryan and Watson,
VIII ON the railroad corporations and
all the capitalistic influences will
turn earth and hell to defeat. 1t is
only by going into politics that
organized labor can prevent the
election of presidents of the Cleve
land stripe and place such men as
Bryan in the White House, and with
the election of such a man as Bryan,
a Caldwell will find his way to the
Supreme Bench and labor will cease
to crawl in the dirt, but will stand

THE LABOR WORLD
of shame and joining that great
rank of unfortunates? Yet we all
hear these entreaties and special
pleadings and exhortations to
return to better life in churches
which are held up by the blood
money of our seam stresses, shop
clerk and sweat shops of this great
country, while those who give this
blood money are lauded all over
the world on account Of their phil
anthropy. They may go to Europe
and engage in debauchery in Paris
and London and gamble in the
dens of Monte Carlo, still we hear
them held up as patterns for us to
follow by those who seem to forget
that their mission is to preach the
idealism of Christ.
We often hear the question asked:
Why do not the poor people attend
church? The reasons are plainly
depicted before them if they will
only observe passing events. The
working masses today see more OF
that which the ministers preach so
much about, that is, the father
hood of God and the brotherhood
of man, practiced outside the
church embership than they do
on the inside circle-hence their
staying away.
So taking our stand with the
ranks of organized labor, think it
is the duty of the church to preach
more of labor subjects and of every
day life and bring their discourses
into plain and simple language, so
that those whom they wish to reach
may know more and be led into the
right path, and not only that, but
let them go forth and try to alter
the environments of these people,
and teach them that socialism
which is to elevate the characters
of our people. The labor move
ment is Identical with the church,
but today we find many of our So
called christian leaders denounc-
ing labor for doing that which
Christ taught them and was per-
secuted for, namely, standing up
and speaking for their rights.

A Child scalded in Alternative Fish

Astoria, Or, July 1.-The infant son
of T. Rackkonen a fisherman of this
city, met with shocking death this
morning. Shortly after the breakfast
hour, the child's mother made prepara-
tions to give him a bath and half filed
the bath tub with boiling water after
which she left the room temporarily.
A few minutes later the shIieks of the
child were heard and fastening to the
bathroom the mother found her child
had fallen into the tub and scalded
himself in terrible manner. His in
juries were such that medical aid was
of no avail and he expired few hours
later.
A boat belonging to the Scandinavian
Packing Company was reported to have

had added two more to their list Of VIC

A FAMILY POISONED.

Circumstances Indicate a Dastardly
crime Has Been Committed.
Oregon City, July 2.-The family of
John Heilman, German farmer resid-
ing about two miles easterly from
Damascus, was poisoned yesterday un-
der circumstances that indicate das-
tardly crime has been committed.
County Surveyor John Wright,
who spent last night with the afflicted
family, watching by the dead body of
one child and trying to comfort four
little sufferers, reported the matter
here today.
Sunday evening Mr.. Heilman, as is
his custom, drew a barrel of water
from a spring to the house for family
use. Monday morning he rose early,
took drink of water and went to the
barn to do his chores. An attack of
nausea soon emptied his stomach, and
that was followed by severe cramps
that compelled him to give up the
work he had promised to do that day
for a neighbor. Mrs. Heilman took
water from the barrel to cook break
fast, and during the preparation of
the meal % .months.old boy that was
toddling about asked for and received
a piece of pancake freshly baked,
which he ate. Soon aftewrard he was
seized with vomiting and severe pains,
as his father had been short time be-
fore. At breakfast the father drank
only a cup of coffee, after which he
seemed to feel slightly better. The
mother also slipped little coffee and
psrtook of nothing else. The four
other children ate their meal as usual,
and soon afterward they manifested the
same symptoms their father and little
brother had shown.
The baby grew worse, and toward
noon message was sent to neighbor
to go for doctor. Before the neigh
Dor could leave for the doctor, the lit
tie fellow went into spasms and died.
The condition of the other children was
also alarming, and DR.. Hickman, Of
Clackamas, was hastily sumomned.
He saw at once that it was a case of
poisoning, and cursory examination
of the water barrel showed him there
was the source of the mischief. for the
insoluble crystals of strychnine were
plainly visible in the barrel, and in
such quantity that when it was upset
the alkaloid showed in the trail of the
water. An ounce vial that had con-
tanned the strychnine was found near
by. The doctor gave the patients treat
ment in accordance with his dioovery,
and three of the children are deemed
to be out of danger-three girls. The
eldest child. 12-year-old boy, at last
accounts was thought to be dying.
