THE WAGE SLAVE
Mans InaIienabIs Right

A little more than half a century
ago a question of great interest to
the country was brought up by few
men and women who saw the evil
effects of slavery and its consequen-
ces. The question was agitated so
persistently that it spread through
the world. Not to our own country
was it confined. but it became the
absorbing question in Europe, and
it was acknowledged that it was an
evil and a disgrace to humanity and
to the civilized world that beings
made in the image of God should be
subjected and treated like animals.
Today we have another power in
our land far more important to be
considered than the slave power of
that day. 1t is the power of capi-
talism, a power that wields its strong
arm of authority, and says. "Ye are
my slaves, my law must be obeyed. !"
Are we still the working class to be
the slave of the capitalist Work.
ingmen may change their master,
but they are still at the mercy of
the master class. The choice of the
chattel slave was between work or
the lash; the choice of wage slave
is between work and starvation.
Then why halt between two opin-

Milwaukee workingmen have been
greatly stirred by the exciting events
of this week. On Monday, a COM
mittee of one hundred from the Fed
Grated Trades Council, swelled by
FIVE or six hundred unemployed
men, went to the City Hall to de-
mand that the city furnish employ
ment for those out of work. The
Milwaukee authorities did not quite
dare to club them, as was recently
done in Chicago, but resorted to
abuse and ridicule instead. Mayor
Becker, (Republican) gave them a
harsh reception. He told them that
the thrifty laborer after ten years

able to stand period, short it is
to be hoped, wherein his employer
could cooperate with him in meet
ing the serious condition." warned
them against political agitators, and
said it was impossible to issue emer-
gency bonds to provide work to
relieve what is considered the pre-
sent distress among what is claimed
to be the unemployed" The press
was equally contemptuous. 1t saw
nothing but political play in the
whole movement. and pointed out
that the Trades Council committee
was composed of Social-Democrats.
As the trades unionists of Milwau-
kee are almost all Socialists, this
could not be otherwise. Ex-Mayor
Rose democratic candidate for
Mayor also took fling at the un-
employed and said that if they had
been offered work a number of
them would have concluded that
they were not as anxious to work as
they professed to be-" So now the
Milwaukee workingmen can see for
themselves that Republican and
Democratic politicians are tarred
with the same stick of class hatred
and enmity.

are facing today is not a slight bust
uess depression, but a regular and
probably prolonged industrial crisis.
Acute industrial depressions are
neither new nor rare in this country
of plenty. Ever since the United
States have entered upon the career
of capitalistic production, the peri
DDS of general industrial paralysis
have been recurring in this country
with dreadful regularity in cycles of
about sixteen to twenty years apart.
Since the beginning of the last
century this is our sixth crisis, the
former one having had their incep-
tons in the years 1913. 1897, 1857,
1873 and 1898. and the main causes
of those crises, their salient SYM
toms and general histories have been
substantially alike and substantially
similar to those which have charac-
terized the industrial crises of Eur
ope during the same period. What
ever might have been the special
features and immediate causes of the
earlier crises, their ultimate causes
was in each case the planlessness of
wealth production and iniquity of
wealth distribution under the present
system. leading to overproduction
on the part of the capitalists and
underconsumption on the part of
the workers.
All these crises were preceded by
periods of extraordinary industrial
activity invariably marked by expan-
sion of the markets, opening of new
industries, and immense extension
of credit. They all eliminated in
enormous prices of commodities,
high rents and reckless speculations,
and they were all ushered in by fin
ancial panics followed by business
failures, closing of factories, unem-
ployment of the working class.
And the present industrial crisis
does not differ from its predecessors
in any way. The ,,era of prosper
ity" just closed, has lasted a number
of years, and has furnished the new
er failing text for all capitalist polit-
ical platforms, patriotic orations
and pompous editorials of recen,
years. In the last decade all branch.

volume and a scale hitherto unat-

The class struggle of today is the
result of modern conditions.
The private ownership of machi-
merry has divided society into two
great classes-the worker and the
owners Of machinery.
The great capitalist class grows
smaller and richer and more power
full.
The middle class grows smaller
and weaker.
The working class grows larger,
poorer and more dependent. Class
divisions grow ever clearer and class
consciousness ever keener.
The working class today, though
in a condition of complete depen-
dence upon the capitalist class, is
learning class consciousness.
The legislation which labor asks
is refused by the capitalist lawmak-
ing bodies, or labor laws are decla-
red to be unconstitutional by capi-
talist judges or injunctions are hur-
led against the workers, such as are
never attempted against the Master
Class
These examples teach class con-
sciousness and class protection.
Out of these experiences comes
an organized working class with a
power that is shaking the thrones OF
Europe and the money thrones OF
America.

The Socialists of America through
International Representative Morris
Hillquit of New York, have sent
to the workers of the world the fol-
lowing message.
To the International Socialist Bu-
reau:
Greetings The workingmen of
Europe are aware of the fact
that the United States are in the
throes of an industrial crisis, but
we believe they greatly underestim-
ate its extent and intensity.
The capitalist press of the coun-
try has from the very beginning
adopted the policy of concealing all
alarming symptoms of our present
industrial disorders or to minimize
their significance and effect as much
as possible. The acute financial
panic of recent months which pre-
saged the collapse of the unstable
industrial equilibrium n the United
States, was pronounced by our dom
inant powers a groundless and short
livid furry; the grave industrial de-
preston which is now obviously set
ting in, is cheerfully characterized
by them as temporary business en-
barrassment, and their subservient
press is already filled with reports
of returning prosperity.
The ruling clssses have an obvi-
Gus interest n-thus attempting to
hide the evidence of their impoten-
cy as directors of our industries.
and to prevent a possible outbreak
of popular revolt against their mis-
management of the affairs of the ma
ton. But the socialist workingmen
of the United States have no reason
and no right to conceal the full ex-
tend of the misery into which this
country has again been thrown by
the selfish, planless and devastating
methods of production of its much
boasted captains of industry" We
consider it especially our duty to
our fellow workers abroad to pre-
sent to them the existing industrial
conditions of our country in their
true light, and it is in the perform
ance of this duty of solidarity and
by no means from a narrow minded
desire to frighten away foreign labor
competition from the shores of our
country, that we express our con-
viction that what the United States

definition which we will as a guide
we must acknowledge that we have
classes in the United States" And
more distinctly still, Prof. Ely says
that these classes are increasing.
The Socialists recognize this con-
flict of class interests and declare
that the cause of the workers pow
erty and of class divisions is the
private ownership and control of the
means of production of the necessa-
ries of life.
The cure for this evil is to be
found in the public ownership of
these means of production, and their
control by the whole people for the
benefit of the whole people.
The working class can and must
accomplish this cure. 1t has the
means to accomplish 1t. The ballot,
if rightly used. can make the nece-
ssary change from private ownership
of the means of production of the
necessaries of life to public owner
ship. The right use of the ballot
can do this in a peaceable and or
derly fashion, and this is what the
Socialists are trying to accomplish.
