A SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY
Forty indictments For Graft at Mil
waukee, Wis, May BE In
validated.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 19.-Forty in
dictments for graft, returned by the
grand jury last year, may be invalidat-
ed by a sensational discovery. 1t is
found that one man was drawn on the
grand jury while another one served,
a similarity of names causing the mis-
take. Five men indicted by this body
either have been convicted or pleaded
guilty. 1t is said that steps will be
taken to secure the release of Michael
Dunn, former building inspector, now
serving a term in the house of correc-
ton, and the remission of the fines of
the others.

laws economic determinism) to ac-
cept certain conditions same
thing Socialists have always claimed.
1t listens good to prate about
wage slavery and the 'centraliza-
ton of wealth but why cannot the
friends of organized labor look
judiciously at the purpose and limi-
tation of all legitimate efforts in the
line of commercial and financial ac-
tivity."
AS to wage slavey," the editor
of the independent seems to object
to our calling a spade spade, per-
haps, for the benefit of his esthetic
readers, he would have us call it an
unclean instrument employed in the
art of agriculture for compounding
fertilizers. But | believe he is mis-
taken as to the tastes of the readers
of the Independent; | believe they
prefer their own colloquial English,
Classic, Rocky Mountain United

Bostonbeans straining after effect
The question is, Are the workers
slavesl If they are, let US face the
fact, not try to hide from it-ostrich
tactics of sticking our heads in the
sand won't help matters.
We of the new unionism-not
only the friends of organized labor,
but the laborers ourselves-have
looked "judiciously" at she purpose
and limitations of all legitimate eff
forts in the line of commercial and
financial activity, and discovering
that they are the making of profits
and nothing else, judiciously can
find no justice in them. There is
no Justice in taking the product of a
mans labor without an equivalent
whether it is done by force of muscle,
at the point of a revolver or by force
of necessity.
Legitimate" is a good word to
conjur with, but it simply means
lawful. and takes no cognizance of
right or justice. As laws are sane
toned by a majority they can be
unmade by this same majority, and
what is legitimate today is illegiti-
mate tomorrow.
The wage system as it is prac-
ticed in America today is as essen
tial feature of the conduct of bus
mess as the division of profits on a
basis of investments is vital to the
management of trade" Surel 1t is
as necessary to the existance of a
robber gang that there be people to
rob as il is that the robbers divide

great deal more so.

1t is shown by the millions of un-

into the business" always exceeds
the demand. therefore the price of
labor power will always be at its
lowest figure, for, by the law of sup
ply and demand, we know that when
the supply of commodity is greater

progressed steadily toward a more
nearly perfect revolutionary party,
while as you yourself have testified,
the S. p, has degenerated more and
more into an "opportunist middle
class" party.
Finally Mr.. Editor. you say you
would balk at the pope rule" in
our organization that will not permit
you or anyone else to publish as an
official S. L. p, paper, a privately
owned journal. Your language on
this point sounds decidedly familiar.
1t is the invariadle language held by
every man, inside and outside the S.
l.. p, who has tried in vain to inter-
pose his individual will and interests
in opposition to the collective will of
the party. The S. l.. p, early in
sisted that a revolutionary working
class party must own its press" so
that this most important of propa-
ganda instruments might at all times
gives official expression to the princi-
piles and tactics of the party, without
the danger of some individuals using
this weapon-the press-against the
party, in furtherance of his private
interests. Such press the S. l.. P,
has in the Daily and Weekly People,
and in the German, Swedish, Jewish
and Hungarian organs of the S. l..
P,-owned and controlled absolutly
by the party. Far from the editors
of these papers being popes," they
are subject to the directing authority
of the national executive committee,
and for cause may be removed at any
timely referendum of the party
membership. So the pope rule"
against which you 'balk" Mr.. Editor
is rule established, not by any in
dividual but by the S. L. p, as a
collective body.
More might be said on the evils of
private Journalism, as exempliied by
the S. P. papers, which show that the
real popes" are in that party but
space forbids. | leave the whole
matter to the candid consideration
of your readers. Meanwhile l am

ton; anything else would still mean
a working class and an owning class
and class conflicts. The new un-
ionism will prepare the workers for
collective ownership of the means of
production.
They Ithe signers of the mani
festol expect all who earn wages to
join in overthrowing the wage sys-
tenn and capitalism and why not?
But the outcome is not likely to be
according to expectations. Then
why does the editor have an attack
of what in another column he calls
journalistic Gangrene?"
A manifesto may be interesting
reading, perhaps, but it has no
magic power to transform many men
of many minds into many men of
one mind" Then why has the edi-
tor wasted so much valuable space
in the Independent on this article? !?
II it cannot transform mems minds,
how is his article which uses scarcely
any logical reasoning going to do it !?
But perhaps he writes for so much
per, and that is why he uses the
space
minded men who work for
wages are not likely to join in des-
troying the wage system until they
have tolerably clear idea of what is
to take its place" Sober minded
men are getting a tolerably clear
idea that if they destroy" the wage
system they will be able to set up a
system of their own choosing. Just
here is where Debs & Co., are not
weak. They all agree on what will
take the place of the wage system.
There may be slight differences on
how to bring it about, but they are
all agreed that the wage system will
be replaced by collective ownership
and democratic management of in
dustry. AS to the latter part of this
(the last) paragraph, the editor
should read up Socialism and the
new trade unionism, or get the kinks
out of his moral anatomy-as the
case may be.
The editor says, There is moth
ing natural, unless it is slavery, to
take the place of the relation of en-
ployer and employee" thereby as
suming that both slavery and the
wage system are not man-made, but
it is evident to any one who has
given the question the slightest study
that they are both products of diff
ferent stages of society, that is of
men collectively-that his assump-
ton is absurd. Any substitute
must be an artificial contrivance. "
And pray, what are chattle slavery
and wage slavery but artificial con-
trivances2 That two or more can
agree on an artificial contrivance is
proven by corporations and trusts,
to say nothing of governments, etc.
An artificial contrivance does no
more necessarily involve despotism
than a natural one. Besides the
coming society will be more natural
than any that has obtained since
civilization began. Under it the
worker will receive the value of the
full product of his labor, no more
or no less; the veriest BOBBY can
see that this is nearer natural than
chattel slavery, serfdom OF wage
slavery.
There is not the least danger that
all the workers will fall in and march
with the Debs ranks" Then why
all this grumbling of facts and
fancy, or falsehood1 II there is no
danger, why does the editor have an
attack of journalistic Gangrene2"

CITY ENGINEER SAYS
HE SCENTS GRAF 7
Articles Seldom Used Quoted at Very
Low Price-others Much

City Engineer Stafford yesterday
called attention to a practice which
he says impedes the work of his office
and adds to the expense of conduct
ing the business of the street depart
ment. Mr.. Stafford also suggests a
reform.
Mr.. Stafford stated that 1t is GUS
tomary to call for bids for stationery
articles used in the department, and
that the binders are in the habit of
putting a low bid upon articles seldom
used and a high one on those more
frequently called for.
on articles that are expensive, even
when bought as close as possible. the
engineer says the dealers have been
in the habit of quoting very high
prices.
On account of these conditions Mr..
stafford recommends that separate
bids be called for upon each article
wanted in the department He be-
lfeves a great saving can be effected
by giving the contract to the lowest
bidder. upon each article. The en-"
gineers recommendations were re-
ferred to the supply committee.

BROKERS GROW RICH
CASHING CITY WARRANTS
Weekly Payments Do Not Prevent City
Employees From Doing Business
With Money Lenders

The city auditor yesterday made a
report to the council which does not
reflect credit upon the weekly payroll
system for laborers and teamsters
which went into effect few months
ago The report states that fifty
nine per cent of the warrants issued
to the men are cashed by warrant
brokers.
Under the system of monthly pay
ments the brokers cashed GA per cent of
the warrants. While the auditor does
not say so in his report the plain i'm
plication is that he does not consider
that the system oonfers sufficient
benefit on the men to justify the trouble
of paying them each week.
The figures given. by the auditor
show that during September and Oc-
tober 975 demands were cashed. Brok-
ers handled 627 of them and the re-
naming 1884 were cashed by the em-
ployes. In November, December and
January brokers cashed '2S2O out Of a
total of 47S5 warrants, leaving only
1865 TO be cashed by the servants Of
the city. The finance committee will
make an Investigation and seek a
remedy for the present unsatisfactory
condition.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27-Miss Mary Cath
crime Mulveil, an actress, was mur-
dered today by Daniel Herman, a po-
liceman, whose love she had refused.
The crime was committed in the most
fashionable part of Michigan boule-
ward, at a time when the avenue was
filled with pedestrians and carriages.
Herman after killing the young wo-
man made his escape and tonight COM
mitted suicide in lodging house by
shooting himself through the brain.
The young lady was returning from
St. James parochial school, where she
frequently acted as substitute
teacher, and had reached the corner
of Twenty-ninth street and Michigan
boulevard when she met Herman, who
had evidently been waiting for her.
What passed between them will never
be known Suddenly Herman seized
the girls arm, caught her close to him
and fred three times. One bullet
passed through her brain, one tore off
a finger of her right hand and the
third missed her.
Herman became infatuated with the
girl through hearing her play at st.
