THE CLASS STRUGGLE

MY third reason found in the tao
tics of the social democratic party, is
class struggle. The stronger must win.
1t is our business to use our strength.
The policy of the party is clear
and wise. Some concessions are from
time to time offered to us, the object
being, by granting some slight relief
to the working class, to pacify it, to
deter it from demanding all. But un-
der the banner of socialism the work.
ing class, accepting what is offered it
it is acceptable, rejecting it if it is de-
ceptive, remains firm in the persuit of
its great attn. Such concessions to
labor are like the concessions high
wayman might offer to his victim.
The capitalists offer us one-tenth,
that they may the more securely keep
the other nine tenths of what they
have already taken from labor. But
these concessions have had no more
effect than the other policy of threats
and violent repression. The social
democratic party keeps to its path,
1.-The class struggle, uninterrupted and
unseduced. Thus again it has put
the capitalist parties on the defensive,
exposed them in their true light as
representatives of class interests.
Thus Our party has become the center
of intellectual, political, and in general
of public life. BY the sharp e,npha-
sizing of the class struggle it has made
socialism a cordial principle in poll
tics.
81 saw and understood how the
class-conscious labor movement has
already achieved great reforms. i'll
many fields in the interest of the
workers. But-this, am convinced,
has not weakened the class character
of the social democratic party niota.
it has rather strengthened it and given
the workingman greater insight.
The socialist party takes advantage OF
all lawfully guaranteed rights. Hit
is prevented from SO doing, then the
bourgeoisie itself becomes the law
breaker, renders the struggle more Sc
we're and more evident, and by max
ing martyrs brings further success to
the militant party.
"Must not every thinking man and
woman be stirred to see how boldly
this party strives for so lofty an ideal?
There is mighty pulsating life, a fear.
less forward movement, a vigor and
perseverance, which qualify it to real
lie the solidarity OF the human race
Paul Gohre, German Socialist.
The capitalist class numbers six per
cent of the population and owns SO
per cent of the wealth.
The middle class numbers 9per cent
of the population and owns 10 per
cent of the wealth.
The working class numbers 70 per
cent of the populati on and owns three
per cent OF the wealth.
Which class do you belong to!
How have you been voting? Don't
you think that if you would vote with
your class for one of your class there
would be a radical change i'll condi-
tions?-Public Ownership.

congregational Extravaganza.

To the Editor of The Times;
l notice that the annusl farce of giving one
months extra pay to all annual and session en-
ployes of the Senate and House has once more
been proposed in Congress. more preposterous
and unwarranted proposition has never been sus
eested than this There men. annual clerks
receiving anywhere from 81, 500 to $500 per an
mum, and having to work but seven months in
the long session and three months in the short
session. making Just ten months of actual service
in two years. For these two years they receive
from So 600 to 5000, average OF $500 to S5D0
per month for the time they are actually EN-
ployed COMPENSATION which would strike the
average citizen as being fully commensurate with
services rendered. Then. the various officers OF
each house of Congress including the stenog-
raphers-who receive SlO0U per month for time
employed. or the salary as Il Senator or
Representative-are all to be included in the gen
eral grab for which some $4,000 OF the peoples
money. as stated by MIR. Cannon. on the floor of
the House few days ago. Is to be appropriated.
II only the session employees were TO receive this
gratuty there might be some little excuse ior
such lgislation. but to vote this amount OF money
TO men who are already most literally conpen-
stated seems a piece OF reckless extravaganza for
which there can be justification, either in law
reason.
