CRIMINAL STRIKE
BREAKING AGENCIES

slave, he encumbers the path of the
working class in its struggle for economic
freedom, and when the battle is won,
will sit calmly down to the feast won by
the class-conscious workers. He goes
to the ballot-box and lines up with his
master and votes the masters ticket
No wonder the master pats him on the
back and call him good worker.
What the times demand is men. 1t
demands men who Know their rights;
men of lofty thoughts, thoughts of truth
and liberty. 1t demands men who scorn
the role of servant, and whose manhood
refuses to bend the knee to a master.
1t demands men who are intelligent
enough to see the class struggle, and
manly and brave enough to take the
side of the toilers in their heroic battle
for economic liberty. 1t demands men
with a genius for freedom, men who can
boldly hurl defiance into the faces of the
capitalist masters, and the times are
producing such men. The country is
ringing with the call of the social revo-
lutionist. He knows what he wants, and
he knows how to get it. The masters
know his voice and are turning their
mud guns upon him. But they can not
silence him. The socialist is the man of
the hour. Make way for the conquerer !

Since large number of combinations
of capital employing countless thousands
of men have declared for the "opel
shop" or rather the CLOSED shop
against unionism, there can be no longer
any shadow of doubt in the minds of OBJ
serving and intelligent men but that or,
ganized greed proposes to exhaust every
effort to suppress the labor movement
The policy of the steele trust has been
followed by other powerful corporations
and the crusade against labor will be
continued until the working class will
rise in its industrial and political might
and end the reign of exploitation.
The employing class has arrayed on
its side all the functions of government
to hold labor in subjugation. The legis.
lative, executive and judicial departments
of states and nations are with a master
class and when labor rises in rebellion
against wrong and injustice, the govern
ment under which we live becomes the
power to force obedience to the will of
industrial despots. But notwithstanding
the fact that the government is utilized
by economic masters to hold the masses
of people in subjection, yet there is an
other element, even among the member
ship of orgonized labor, that is dangerous
and menaces the very life of the labor
movement.
The following circular, forwarded to
employers Of labor in various parts of
the country, demonstrates that the de-
tective agency has become the recruiting
station of traitors and that men OF all
crafts and trades, outside and inside OF
the union, are advertised as professional
strike-breakers:

ILLINOIS MINERS WIN:
A COUNT ORDERED
Ballots Cast indianapolis Compromise and
Ignored by T. L. Lewis, Must
Stand Final.

The final vote on the Green substitute
was taken about 1:3O Sunday morning,
after protracted and stormy session.
The long drawn out fight between the
Lewis and anti-Lewis factions came to a
head Saturday morning when the special
committee of twenty-three presented its
report, upholding the executive board
and, by inference, censuring the Illinois
district officers.
Instantly William Green former presi-
dent of the Ohio miners, was on his feet,
and moved the adoption of the substi-
tute which he read.
Pesident Lewis ruled the substitute out
of order and refused to recognize Green's
appeal from the decision of the chair.
A storm of protests greeted this ruling
and for many minutes the convention
was scence of protest.
Former President Mitchell, at length,
gained the floor and the convention be-
came quiet, even before he began to
speak. Mitchell said: Il most thor
oughly disagree with the ruling of the
chair. The substitute may be unwise,
but the convention has right to can
slider it. Delegates are to be cencured
for failure to maintain order, but it is
the duty of the chair to conduct business
according to parliamentary usage"
Lewis then called Mitchell to the chair
and vote was taken on the appeal
The tellers' count stood 637 to 445

ing short of tremendous. To play the
mere game of politics, to allow the old
capitalist parties to make you mere
pawns in their corruption und graft, to
allow yourselves or your organizations to
be turned aside from the Sacred Task of
freeing the people-that would be the
dark black page in your history But
you will not thus forsake your Supreme
Moment, for which all your past labors
and struggles have prepared you You
will rise to the occasion, put on your
armor, and massing yourselves as one
man defeat the enemies of humanity,
now incarnate in the political parties
which uphold the tragedy of Capitalism.
Do you know that in every progressive
nation of Europe Capitalism has been
aggressively invaded, and its crushing
power over the workers menaced by
Socialist legislation, and Labor legisla-
ton? They are generation ahead of us
in this respect. In spite of our bluster
and brag and "big stickism" going forth
so impudently to advise the European
nations, we are now compelled to go
to the laws forced from Kings and
Kaisers by the workers of Europe to get
models for even the beginnings of legis-
lation in the interest of the working
class.
Take for example the brutal disregard
of those workers who have been injured
while pursuing their work and the cold
and heartless neglect of the bereaved
families of those who have been killed
at their daily toll.
In 1907 there were five times as many
railroad workers killed as were slain on
the Union side at the battle of Gettys.

STEEL STRIKE is
TO BE CONTINUED
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers So Decide by Over
wheln1ins Majority---West Virginia City
Among the Places Affected.

The strike against the United States
Steel Corporation, inaugurated by the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers more than year ago,
will be continued and will be fought out
to the bitter end This is the verdict of
more than two-thrds of the men directly
involved and completely vindicates the
Amalgamated officials who have been
repeatedly charged with blocking a
settlement of the trouble. The result of
the vote shows conclusively that the
men are determined never to return to
the mills of the steele trust under open
shop conditions Moreover, it demon
strates that the strikers have not given
up hope of ultimate victory, that they do
not share the opinion published by GER
tain paper in affect that the strike was
lost three months after it had been called.
Even today authentic reports show that
the trust is unable to operate its mills on
ANYTHING like normal basis. 1t IS ad-
nitted that some of the plants are oper-
ated to all appearances full handed, but
the actual facts are that not one mill is
running with full force of men, Ihe
contest is remarkable in way because
the question of wages is not involved.
1t is fight against open shop conditions
which the steel trust attempted to I'M
pose and it is therefore a battle Tor
principle which, by the way, every true
union man holds dear.

country have been in the Pittsburg dis
the strickers.
Heavy contributions from the treasures
of unions in all parts of the country have
been made to the cause of the striking
tin workers.
The fact that higher wages are being
paid in the tin mills where any workmen
can be secured, is being pointed to as a
proof that it is a determination of the
corporation to be done with unionism.
The relations with the unions were
severed year ago by refusal of the
company to confer with the officers of
the union. There had been a reduction
of wages announced shortly before and
the union merely asked that it should
not go into effect, but that the mills con-
tinue operating at existing prices. There
was, however, no conference. Since
that time the tin plate company has
been offering wages higher than the
scale price.
The mills effected by the strike, which
will now be continued are located at
Wheeling, w. Va, MARITIME Ferry, Ohio
Piqua, Ohio, Muncie, Ind, New Castle
Pa, and Sharon, Pa, and attempts are
being made to operate most of them
with nonunion men except at Wheeling
and Martins Ferry. Originally the mum
Der of men on strike was about 4,3OO
but a considerable number of these have
secured employment elsewhere
