the Harvard student who was arrested upon
the charge of forging notes in the name of

standard of manhood in the United
States down to a low degree"
The one question that London defied
any one to answer was, why should
the laborer of today, when the means
of production had been so immensely
magnified have to work harder today
for his daily bread, than the men of
the stone age?" LONDON in his own
case says that in the colds of Alaska,
the slums of New York and London he
found that he was the larger man COM
pared with the lower class of laboring
men.
The Revolution is coming, and no
power on earth can stop it, concluded
London, quoting Debs, Hubbard and
others The Revolution can be blood
less one, as the Constitution of the
United States can bring about all that
the socialists want, but it still Gan be
made a bloody one if left alone to the
fighters. When the laboring men or
the socialist finds that the Constitution
will not protect them, they cry OUT
ITO hell with the Constitution" This
remark of London's was the cause of
having his books thrown out of the
Libraries, and some of the magazines
refusing to publish his stories.
London also quoted General Bell who
at the time of the miners strike in
Colorado answered the demand for ha-
beas corpus by shouting: ITO hell with
the habeas corpus, we'll give them posi-
mortems." After the lecture a mum
Der of questions were asked London
one of them being: "Why the highest
aim of the socialists in San Francisco
had resulted in a Schmitz." LondoI
replied: who made Schmitz what HI
is, but the capitalists. Who made thu
supervisors what they are bribe-takers
but the men who tempted them ant
handed out the brides"

JACK LONDON
VERY RADICAL

At the meeting of the Research Club
last night held at the residence of q.
j. Hutchins, this question was asked
Jack London DO you think that
the labor unions have the right to keep
non-union men from working for
whom they wished to, and whenever
they wish to irrespective of the clos
ed shop?"
81 believe that the striking union
laborist, who throws brick at
breakers head and calls him
scab," said London, barring few de-
generates, such as will be found among
any class of men, thinks that he is
performing just as right an action as
did the Massachusett farmers, who
from behind fences, shot the BritiNh
redcoats through the back as they re-
treated from Lexington. / believe that
he is right, too"
Mind you, though l am not uni
on labor advocate" explained London.
81 believe the unions are waste OF
time and energy. Unions will never
gain their ends, and it will be only a
matter Of time before their members
will Join the ranks of the socialists.
\ The number of failures lately in the
labor ranks have been numerous, and
at the next election Just watch the
socialist vote, because when the union
men see tat their unions are failures,
they will come over to our ranks"
The topic of London's lecture was
Revolution" During the course OF
his lecture he treated on the wonder
full growth of socialism throughout the
country. He said the number OF So
cialists had increased to seven million
and that the one fight was for the com
mo mend. yours for the Revolution.
Socialism is not anarchism," de-
clared London, but on the contrary
directly opposed to It. Anarchist
would do away with the government
we would nave more. The Ideals o
the socialists are that the capitalist
should be relieved from their higl
commanding positions, and that tn

that he had told Holloway that the
