The Social. Democratic aldermen in
the Milwaukee city council gave the
old party politicians terrible shock
last Monday. As the republican and
democratic aldermen entered the coun-
ell chamber, they were startled to see
the galleries crowded with working
men. The mayor and city attorney
came over to the socialist aldermen
and anxiously inquired what they had
up their sleevesf They received no
enlightenment until the order Of new
business was reached. Then a social
Democratic alderman offered the fol
lowing resolution; "Whereas, more
than 1900 molders residing in the city
Of Milwaukee were forced to lay down
their work May /, 1906, in order to
secure a living wage, and whereas,
about 100 men have been imported

from the Montana Stock menf
Thew realize that capital in the form
Of "beef trust is robbing them.
The 25,000,00O wage-earners who have
no capital like these stockmen, also
realize that capital in the form Of
steel, coal, beef and scores Of other
trusts are robbing them by low
wages and high prices for the necessi-
ties of life. Have they not a right,
also to kick without being called lazy,
drunken, extravagant anarchists
The socialists and labor unions know
that the governments Of Colorado and
Idaho are being used by capitalists to
destroy organized labor, and that they
have in the past murdered union men,
and they have no doubt but that they
are now eontriving to murder the lead
ers of the Western Miners association.
Why has not Mr.. Debs and other re-
presentatives of labor as good right
to talk about "violent revolution as

know that organized capiatl is seek

have resorted to murder i'm the past

The Montana stockmen are few in
number. The wage-earners of the ma
tion are many. Look at the anthra-
cite coal trust that employs 100000
men that represent 100000 people.
These 100000 men received $sl, ,000, 900
in wages last year-an average Of
$430 each. God-ordained, Mr.. Baer

sacrifice. They put up their money
without a murmur and seem to enjoy
the game immensely as every one
does when the play is coming his
way. Beside they know that the ones
who put up the expenses are the only
ones who can make the rules of the
game.
If you are dumped over board in
the middle of the lake you
don't talk about sacrificing your
strength to get out. You strike
out and swim and are mighty glad you
have the strength to stand you till you
hit the shore. Here we are floundering
around in the sea of capitalism and
talkink about sacrificing something
to get out. Why, we are sacrificing
everything best in life by staying in.
Instead of floating about clinging to
some old broken spar with our heads
just out of water waiting for some one
to throw us a life preserver we should
take delight in the consciousness that
we are able TO get out ourselves and
get some enjoyment out of the game
as we go.
And what a game! Consider the in
finite variations and combinations of
the play; the moves and countermoves,
advances and retreats, with ignorance
and superstition and age-long custom
and prejudice on one side to be met
and overcome by the forces of light
and reason.
And then think of the stakes. ga
world to win" A hell to be turned
into a paradise, where love shall be
freed from the CALLING claims of econ
omic bondage, where strife for bread
shall be no more and man at last
emerges from the dismal disease breed
ing swamps of the jungle of hate and
competition into the full, warm sun
light of love and comradeship.
Comrades, il is worth winning
game like this. Let us have done with
this talk Of sacrifice and go on with
the game.
II is your turn at the bat.

When the people know that their
labor supports themselves, and creates
all the capital and surplus wealth Of
the nation, but that few men get
possession of all but a bare living for
the workers, and that the capitalists
then make them labor to pay interest,
profits and rent on this capital they
have created, and Of which they have
been robbed, and that the capitalist
also makes them work to pay further
dividends on fictitious capital, is it
any mystery that any part of the
people who call themselves socialists,
are demanding revolution in which
the people will take back their own

these robbers and parasites of indus

Now that the honorable stockmen
of Montana have decided that every

The following quotations are from
the Manifesto issued by the North

Helena few days ago:

deplored, but it is sure to come If a
revolution by ballot can not be ef-

"All the people except the profes-

"Between the two kinds of human
sharks the humble producer of the
necessities of life is ground into the

"The president is handicapped by
those formidable nothings styled Off

freebooters of the nations blackest

"However, it is unnecessary conces-

should stigmatize the able men who
throw light on such practices by their
articles in magazines by styling them

happen to be personally acquainted
with two-thirds of those stockmen that
penned their names to the manifesto
from which above quotations are taken
and which was adopted by their con-
vention. They are men above the
average intelligence, business ability,
and possessed of wealth measured by
the hundreds of thousands.
But If you will read their manifesto,
and then compare il with the writings
of socialists you will find that they
have almost outdone the socialists lin
their denunciation of existing social
conditions, and prophecy of coming
revolutions of force, and criticisms
of politicians, and the great political
parties.

points:

no more than charity institutions.
They are also Social Democrats. Only
they strive TO develop the spiritual

to this. The third is Kokka- -Shakwai-

The "Citizen" has been informed
that Upton Sinclair has been in Pitts
burg lately under an assumed name
investigating labor conditions in the
eapitalistic shambles in that district.
There is no place in the country that
we know Of, not even the Chicago
stock yards, that will furnish more
material for book than Pittsburg
and vicinity. There are more workers
killed and MANNED in that district an
nually than were sacrificed in any
battle Of the Civil War, while the
bitter poverty on the one hand and the
ostentatious wealth on the other is a
contrast that is wholly at variance
with civilization. II Sinclair writes
another book and the action is laid
in and about Pittsburg let us hope that
he win not fail to make a careful
study of Homestead, where one can
toss a stone from Carnegie library
upon scores of novels unfit to be used
as kennels for the dogs Of plutocrats.
That's where the colossal humbug of
the age, Andrew Carnegie, squeezed
two hundred million dollars from the
flesh and blood Of labor. That spot is
rich with interesting stuff for a sequel
to "The Jungle, which might aptly
be entitled, "Hel Up to Date. -
