Newark, o., Dec. 10, 1903.
To the Editor of The Majority.
The earths twitchings along the
Pacific coast are so frequent that the
older inhabitants give but passing
heed to them. Thus, when on the
morning of April 18th, 1906, the resi-
dents of San Francisco began to hear
rumblings and feel shocks. 1t was
some time before they realized their
immediate danger, or the terrible ca
Iamity that was before them.
Today, public Indifference to the
great problem of Social Unrest" pre-
sents similar position. The many
great strikes that are taking place in
many of our. large industrial centers,
represent the rumbling of discomfort
inside our social organism. While
bayonets and machine guns may pre-
serve the peace, for the time being,
IS a solution to the problem, they
can be compared to wet blanket
thrown over volcano to prevent its
eruption. ts-1s
One of the most dreaded events in
any labor trouble is the inception OF
mob spirit. In the majority of cases
he element brought in to protect
property in order to prove to the
employees thier absolute need, adopt
measn of antagonism whereby the
riotous acts occur.
This class of individuals are the
vultures of our social strife. To them
strike means financial gain. The
high wages coupled with large
bonuses, serve to prolong and widen
the existing breach between en-
ployer and employee. In the majority
OF cases. they are men OF no liked
abode-their position having incurred
them personal hatred. They live IN
an atmosphere of nervous excitement.
Armed to the teeth, the slightest
provocation causes them to shoot, and
generally, an innocent man or woman
or child is their victim.
For many years, the various states
have conducted State Boards Of Arbi-
tration. Before the event of large in
dustrial combinations, they were a
factor in bringing together the en-
ployer and the employe for the pur-I
pose of adjusting their various differ
ences. Today the majority of labor
troubles conflict with instertsate com
merce laws. The government of the

below these regal stars come the va
rious gradations of ranks in the in
dustrial nobility. This reference to
these men as kings and rulers is not
fantastic. 1t is startling reality.
These are not mere nominal rulers,
but real live potentates. When their
DEGREES go numbering down from
their thrones in the great metropolis
of the world the political kings and
rulers hasten to do their bidding. A
recent writer in the Saturday Evening
Post says that fifteen families, headed
by the Rothchilds, control every coin-
try in Europe and Africa. He calls
this power THE Unseen Empire.
This power dictates the wages of
workers the world over, Do you
know what this means? 1t means
that it literally dictates the kind Of a
house the worker shall occupy. 1t
determines the kind of furniture he
shall use; the kind of education he
and his children shall have; and It
even tells him. what kind of clothes
his wife shall wear. Aye, more, it

away his loved ones. Kings? Aye.
mightier than the ages have ever
seen. The realm of Imperial Rome in
her palmiest days was btu a garden
patch compared to the eralm of the
Industrial Kings whose empire
reaches the. remotest jungles Of the
modern world. This is but the log
ical and inevitable result Of the per-
nicious, principle that one class Of
men shall be permitted to own and
control the means of life Of the en-
tire people.
Socialism proposes the collective
ownership and democratic control of
these means of life now in individual
hands. This will make the people
masters of their own destiny. 1t will
abolish that greatest of all curses
POVERTY. Do you say this is i'm
possible? Listen to this: David
Lloyd George, Chancellor of the En-
glish Exchequer, in presenting his
budget to the House of Commons,
said this: Il quote from memory
This is a war measure. It is the
opening gun against Poverty, and the
last gun will not be fired until Pow
erty is abolished" He is no Social
list, but he proposes to abolish Pow
erty. Socialists say that Poverty can
and will be abolished, not in two OF
three hundred years, but during our
own lifetime. And they say it can be
done only by giving us INDUSTRIAL
DEMOCRACY. -.
Do you see any dividing up" mi
that? Do you see any free love, -
breaking up the home, lack of in
centive'' or any Of the other silly OBJ
jections SO commonly raised?' No,
certainly not. Such notions are for
intellectual babes and stockings.

WHAT Do SOCIALISTS WANT?
(By H. w. Houston.)

THERE'S such a popular misunder-
standing as to the aims of the Social
lists that 1 will make the attempt to
state those aims briefly. and in such
language that anyone can fully grasp
them. Every Socialist party in the
world has identically the same aim.
They may differ as to tactics and
methods owing to the peculiar condi-
lions existing In their respective
countries, but theirs is but one OBJ
ject. So in stating this object, I am
giving the aim of this worldwide
movement.
This is the aim: First. TO MAKE
ALL THE MEANS OF LIFE UPON
WHICH THE PEOPLE COLLECT
IvELY~ DEPEND FOR THEIR Elk
IsTENCE THE COLLECTIVE PROP
ERTY OF THE WHOLE PEOPLE.
Second. TO GIVE THE PEOPLE
COLLECTIVELY dOWNED MEANS
OF LIFE. Third. TO GIVE TO ALL
PERSONS. REGARDLESS OF SEX
OR RACE, EQUAL ACCESS TO
THESE COLLECTIVELY OWNED
MEANS OF LIFE. Third. TO GIVE
TO ALL PERSONS, REGARDLESS.
OF SEX OR RACE, EQUAL ACCESS
TO THESE COLLECTIVELY OWNED
MEANS OF LIFE. 4
Twist the meaning Of these words
as you will, and ridicule these aims
as you may, In the last analysis they
mean simply and only this: DEMOC-
RACY IN INDUSTRY. What is
DEMO RACYp'? Simply this:
,sELF-CONTROL. We all profess te
be great believers in POLITICAL
DEMOCRACY. that is, we want Pc !,
LITICAL sELF-CONTROL. It was

been planted last fall.
