you retain some OF it and reject the
other. Do you still adhere to the line
Of teaching that creates class hatred
You know that Peters denied Christ
three times; you also know Judas be-
trayed Christ and then went out and
hanged himself. You are well aware
who they were who were the cause of
the scarlet robe being placed upon the
| who Knocked him; you are also we'll
! aware the kind could find no evil in
| him.
Yes, Christ taught teaching that
would give light In the progress Of the
new world that was soon to be born,
| the teachings of Jesus can today be
fulfilled If they were put into practice.
We in this country are not hampered
| by famines as they were in the solden
times, the earth causes enough to
grow and the genius of man being able
| to produce machines that aids mans
| burden In the production Of the good
! things of life, that is according to the
word Of God, is the gift of this same
God to every person upon the earth,

| preachers have ben teaching a false
doctrine. You have been holding the
| truth back from the people. Had you
not taught that the divine rights of
kings were in truth Cody, the people
of today would have had a better UNI
Outstanding. You preached for tne
love of money, not for the love Of the
| world.
Say, brother, compare the teachings
of Jesus with the philosophy of So
ctalism and see Iaow alike they are.
Christ taught better world philos-
! oily; he taught contentment, and what
| would he say If he came mere now to
find little children compelled by law
to go to school hungry; would he not
go again into the mountains and pray,
| when he learned of the suffering of
mankind in the midst of plenty. You
preachers cannot be honest with
Christ, nor with your God. You act

condemned.

ANDREW CARNEGIE.
Moline, Ill.,, Feb. 4, 19(

Moline, Ill.,, Feb. 4, 1909.
TIC the Editor Of the Duluth Labor
World, Duluth, Mimi:
Dear Sir: If all beneflciaries Of
private monopoly were as conscten-
tious and honest as Andrew Carnegie
the evils of monopoly would soon
pass away. How strikingly the great
iron master illustrates the natural
growth Of Individual fortunes. Like
all sane thinkers Mr.. Carnegie has no
quarrel with the rich man, as such;
but recognizes a, clear distinction be-
tween wealth acquired by the Industry
of its possessors, on the one hand;
and on the other wealth accrueing to
the recipient through special priv1l-
eyes. And, what is of the very high
est Importance, Mr. Carnegie affirms
Ricardos law of rent-the "unearned
increment" which John Stuart Mill so
ably de~eloped-and justiies Henry
Georges plan for distributing it to it's
creator-the public.
Mr.. Carnegie does not in plain words
embrace the Henry George doctrine as
such; but he expounds that doctrine,
however, as one who mas through orig
inal thought, lighted upon a great
truth and is impelled, like all discover
ers, to impart his treasure to the
world
Mr.. Carnegie illustrates his idea by
instancing two sons who have inneri-
ted from their father two farms of ap-
parently equal value. They cast lots
for the division, and proceed with
equal industry to build their fortunes.
But it happens that a great city rises
on one farm while the other remains
a farm. And, here is, Mr.. Carnegie's
comment on the economic results:
"The growth Of the city-soon makes
the children of the younger son mil
lionaires while those of. the elder re-
main simple farmers in comfortable
circumstances"
And here is the remedy Mr.. Car
neefe proposes:
TN no other field is the making of
wealth so greatly dependent upon the
community, so little upon the owner,
who may wholly neglect it without in
jury Therefore, no other form Of
wealth should contribute to the nation
SO generously"
Very truly yours,
EDWARD HOWELL PUTNAM.

The trade unions are the reflects in
organized, crystallized form of the
best thought, activity and hopes of
the wage-workers. They represent
the aggregate expression Of discon-
tent of labor with existing economic,
social and political misrule. The
trade unions are exactly what the
Wage-workers are, and can be made
exactly what they may please to
make them. Active or sluggish; keen
or dull; narrow or broad-gauged, Just
as the members are intellectual or
otherwise. But, represent as they
may either of these alternatives, the
trades union is the best form Of or
ganization for the tilers to protect
their present interests, as we'll as to
work out their salvation from all

LABoR's CAUSE WILL TRIUMPH.

The decision Of Judge Wright in
the contempt cease has made some
pages in history which will be looked
upon and regarded by future genera
tons with the same amazement and
feeling as we now read of the decf-
the dark ages when a man who was
compiled to work for a living to sup
port himself and his family was looked
upon as a serf and only fit to serve
the behests of those in affluence and
power.
Men suffered in those days and died
for the principles they thought were
right, they being moved by aspirations
similar to those which animate us in
our movement TO today. Future gen.
erations will also have the fight of
their time on their hands, only with
greater enlightenment than we
now have.
The effort of the employing class
has always been to keep the workers
under their control so that wages may
be kept down and their profit kept
up ii the highest possible time Every
foot of progress made by the workers
has been fought for inch by incn with
the attendant suffering
AS far back as history reaches we
find injunctions and other prohibitive
and coercive measures brought into
play, none of them mad a dcterring
effect; the workers kept on, ever
pressing forward for the light of
liberty and freedom. It has always
bene obtained despite all opposition,
and righteously so, because equity,
right and justice were on the work.
ers' side.
The attempts four present day
judiciary to narrow the limits and
scope Of the hopes and aspirations
Of this day and time will avail little
for themselves or for INSCRIPTIONS
employers.
No one respects the laws of The
land more than do the workers; and
NO one is more ready than they to
abide by constitutional law; but such
e decision as that made by Judge
Wright, which labor knows is in. di-
rect contravention of the most elemen-
tary American law, it does not recog-
nize as entitled to respect.
To acquisce in Judge Wright's con-
tention would be tantamount to re-
Progression, and such thing is I'M
thinkable, much less admissible.
The freedom of speech, freedom Of
press, and the right of organization
and assemblage must be maintained
at all hazards. The right of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
was contested for once in this coun-
try of ours at a terrible cost. and
these rights must and will now be
maintained, certain servile Judges to
the contrary notwithstanding.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1909-02-20

years, the imprisonment of Gompers
would be none the less wrong.
Organized labor bases its protest
against tine sentence of Imprisonment
upon the ground that that sentence Is
wrong in itself, not upon the ground
that it is wrong merely because a
similar sentence has not been i'm
posed upon others.

any, to be in any way considered as
blasphemy, for even Christ used the
most forceable language, against what
he termed, the hypocrite. Did not
Jesus exhort manhood to rid the ma
terial flesh of its sins that the flesh
may have a better understanding of
the things of the world. Did not
Christ command all men to treat all
men as brothers. Did not Christ give
unto the World an economic teaching
that surpassed any teaching that have
ever existed. What construction would
be placed upon Suffer little children

looked us If the case would go against
her she sold all her real estate and put

was sent to jail for year. Her coun-
