MAX S. HAYES TELLS
What SOCIALISM is

The convention has been cnlvened
from time TO time by the injection of
speeches from one or the other of the
many socialists among the delegates
They are the most persistent of any of
the various classes represented. never
allowing an opportunity. for the injer-
tion of some of their doctrines. to es-
cape. What they are striving to attain
is set forth in an interesting and con-
else manner in an interview had yes
terday with Max S. Hayes, the ac-
knOwledged leader of the socialist dele
cation:
1T is often asked by those who have
given little or no study to the labor
problem, what the socialists are striv-
ing for.
THE question is easily answered
The socialists are aiming. through or
ganization and political action, to So
cure control of the governing powers
for the purpose of overthrowing tho
present capitalistc system and estab-
fishing a cooperative commonwealth.
or real democracy.
The present system of production,
in which the worker receives wages
and the capitalist profits, has and does
naturally cause contention between cm-
ployers and employees. Both sides arc
reaching for the greatest portion OF
the wealth produced: hence, we have
the class struggle, the effect of which,
strikes, boycotts, etc, are mere Incl
dents.
Owned by Capitalists.
Formerly, the tools of production
We're simple and owned by the indi-
vidual worker. To-day the machine,
which is but AN improved and more
developed tool Of production, is owned
by the capitalists and trust mugnates,
and not by the workers. This owner
ship enables the capitalists to control
the product and keep the workers de-
pendent upon them.
private ownership of the means of
producing and distributing wealth is
responsible for the ever increasing un-
certainty of livelihood and the poverty
and misery of the working class, and
it divides society into two hostile
classes-the capitalists and the wage
workers, The once powerful middle
class is rapidly disappearing in the mill
of competition.
1.-The struggle is now ON, politically
and economically, between the capital
list class and the working class. The
possession of the means of livelihood
gives to the capitalists the control OF
the government, the press the pulpit
and the schools, and enables them to
reduce the workingman to IL state of
intellectual physical and social inferi-
GRITTY, political subseryience and virtual
slavery.
'taDita1 has centralized sn rnnidl,.
during the past five years that today
over 400 trusts are in existence. rapi-
taiized at close To ten billions of capi-
tai, ana they control nearly every
branch of production. Many of these

An Excellent Combination,

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
mancntly. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they nre pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities Of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Western Miners.

We regret that some ot uur fellow workers in

spirit calculated to divioc and injurc the labor
movement. We have neither the intention nor
desire to indulge in uniricndly criticism OF the

where unity Is essential. After all. we are Of the
opinion that the action OF our fellow workers in
the section referred to is misapprchcnsion and
has no foundation in tact We. therefore. recon.
mend that the incoming executive council he di-

OF three to attend the convention Of the Western

about an adjustment of whatever differences may
exist 80 that entire harmony and unity may nre-
