If the Pennsylvania; miners gain all
they demand, they will have to work
steadily for five years in order to make
up for the wages lost during the strike.
In addition to that the leaders will all
be marked and gradually discharged.
When organized labor uses the ballot
with telling effect then it will gain it's
just demands. And organized labor
never will be permanently benefited
until it does.-Peoples Paper.
J. We may learn from the German So
cialists how to study and combat cap
italisrn, and from American million
aires how capitalism can be brought to
the zenith Of it's power. Maybe the
American Workingmen are destined to
teach us how to break the powers of
capitalism. KARL KAUTsKY.
