WAGES

Wages can never rise so high as to
make II impossible for the capitalist
TO carry on his business and live: un-
der such circumstances II would be
more profitable for the capitalist to
give up his business. Consequently
the wages OF the working man can
never rise high enough to equal the
value OF his product. They must al
ways be below that, so as to leave a
surplus; II is only the prospect OF n
surplus that moves the capitalist to
purchase labor power. II In, there
fore evident, that the capitalist social
system the wages OF the workingmen
can never rise high enough TO put an
end to the exploitation OF labor.
This surplus, which the capitalist
class approprlates. Is larger than Is
usually imagined. IL covers not only
the profits" OF the manufacturer, but
many other items that are usually
credited to the costs OF production and
exchange. II covers. for instane. rent.

SOCIALISM AND PEACE.

The Berlin tGermany) socialists are
holding big peace demonstrations. A
recent vorwaerts contained striking
headlines inviting the workers to
come out in their strength and DEM
onstrate in the evening. At 8 o'clock
three meetings were held simulton-
eously in three different districts of
the capital. Ledebour and Lubeil
were the principal speakers. They
protested against the action OF the
yellow press in infiaming the spirit OF
the nation. and pressing the minister
to intervene more actively in the af-
fairs of Morocco. The speeches were
received with great enthusiasm. and
strong resolutions were unanimously
passed at every meeting.

pendencc; instead OF liberty II speaks

Interdependence is the order Of or

dependence brings to his touch the

wide world over. Whether in iron
machinery or in social life. interde-
pendence assemblies parts and uses
them in beautiful harmony. to the ac-

FROM NATIONAL SECRETARY ON
GOMPERS FTASCO.

President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor in the September
number Of the Federationist asks the
question OF Comrade Debs. Where
does your party get the money!
This Notwithstanding the fact that a
copy of the published report of con-
tributions up TO. and including August
Is. was mailed to the office of Mr..
Gomrers on August 22.
As d result of a conference with
Comrades Floaten, Simons and Work,
of the national executive committee,
a telegram or letter. according 70 their
location, was sent on August % to the
party press and sympathetic labor pa
pers. suggesting that they avoid abuse
in replying to the Federationist edi-
torial This question of Mr.. Gompers
appearing in the official organ Of the
American Federation of Labor. raises
the issue in all affiliated bodies and
subdivisions or local unions OF the
/
izations are entitled to a reply and the
same will be issued from the national
office of the socialist party on Satur-
day. September IL. A circular letter
will be addressed to the local secre-
taries of every organization affiliated
with the American Federation OF La.
Dor. and also to the secretaries OF
other labor organizations. The same
will also be supplied to anyone upon

The Trade Unionist, without regard
to political affiliation should see to Il
