The fight had been on for a week.
Practically all the workmen had walk
ed out when the strike was called, but
the company had plenty of warning
! and was making a desperate effort to
keep the plant running. A hundred
men had been struggled in the night
the trouble started, and one of the
half-dozen had been made foremen at
salary three times what he had
ever earned before.
The second day of the strike some Of
the strike breakers had been assaulted
when they left the plant after the quit
ing whistle. After that the whole
force stayed inside the fence all the
time, sleeping on cots in the office and
eating food furnished by the company
and Struggled in hidden in boxes of
raw stock. At the end of a week it
as Joe Benson, the young fellow who
had been made foreman, and the four
or five other experienced workmen
stuck by their jobs the company would
be able to make a good bluff at keep
ing the plant running. If they quit it
would probably have to shut down.
After dark on the evening of the
seventh day Joe Benson slipped out of
the gate, turned the first corner and
hurried down dark side street. Two.
blocks away he was stopped by three
men. Almost instantly and as if BY
magic crowd of a hundred men gath
cred. The president of the union in
the center, appealed to Benson to stick
by the strikers and throw up his job.
He refused def1antly. Threats were
exchanged. Things began to look ugly.
Suddenly the crowd parted to let an
old woman with shawl over her
head pushed her way to the center.

was stern and frowning. The young |

Remember your father If you don
stay at home you're a scab, and
never want you to come inside my
house again.
That bit of personal observation was
followed the same evening by an OPP
portunity to talk with, the Spartan
mother as she sat by the stove in her
own little kitchen, her big son beside
her. She was asked why she had
turned so strangely against her son
when natural material instinct would
have led her to rejoice in his promo
ton.
''Ten years my man Benson was a
member of the union, paying his
monthly dues and all the time getting
little bigger wages and a little short
er hours,' she answered 1.-THE union
did that for us first of all. Then Ben
son took the fever. Ten weeks he was
laid up, and every week the union paid
us the sick benefit. When he got worse
the women of the auxiliary took turns
sitting up with him so that I could
get a bit of sleep. When he got well
the union got him a job. Ten years
more went by. and Benson and to-
gether went through a couple of hard
strikes. And wages kept creeping up
little by little. 1 saw that the men
who didn't stick to the union got no
good out of their treachery in the long
run.

few weeks when your neighbors look
at you cross eyed and you know in
your heart your mans no better than

try in dark corners for the rest of his
life That's the way it works, Joe
Well, then, Benson got his hurt 1t

When my man got out of the hospital
he was blind. Eight months the union
paid US the disability benefit every
week. Then he died. The union buried
him. They paid me the $500 death
benefit that helped to keep Joe in
school. And the monument over his
fathers grave in the cemetery the
union paid for. Joe didn't remember
about It, that's all"

The people Of any community,
regardless of their attitude toward
Socialism, cannot too vigorously
defend the right Of free speech
Even thoughtful people some
times overlook the fact that upon
the rights Of free speech, free as
sembly and free publication de
pend all other rights. The first
amendment to the United States
Constitution was enacted to pro-
'tect from violation these funda-
mental rights Of the people. The
Importance Of these rights IN the
minds of those who sought to es-
tablish conditions of freedom is
well expressed in Judge Story's
statement Of the purpose of the
first ten amendments to the con
stitution: They were adopted
to guard more efficiently certain
exercises Of authority supposed to
be dangerous to the public inter
ests."
The first amendment is explicit
.-sCongress shall make no law
y = abridging the freedom
of speech Of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to
assembly ~ -.
An amendment to the constitu-
ton must ba taken as a far more
decided expression Of the people 5
will than any of-the original prov
isions. The original document was
formulated by a limited conven-
ton, and a study of. the, minutes of
that convention proves conclu-
sively that it's leaders were bent
upon thwarting rather than full
filing the will of the people ;
whereas, two-thirds of both houses
Of Congress or the legislatures of
the two-thirds Of the states must
propose an amendment before it
is even submitted for considera-
ton, and majority vote of the
legislatures Of three-fourths of the
states, or ratification by conven-
tions in three-fourths of the states
is necessary for the adoption of
the amendment. Indeed, only six
teen out Of twenty-five hundred
amendments proposed have been
adopted, and these may be said
to have been adopted forced
through by the stress of natioBal
upheaval amounting to revolution.
So inflexible is our constitution
that Prime Minister of monar-
chial England has expressed the
wish that England had a funda-
mental law like that Of America
80 y for the better protection
of her upper classes. Any attack
upon rights guaranteed by amend
ments to our Constitution must, in
the light of the above facts, be
viewed as fragrant disregard of
the will Of the majority-the over
riding Of popular rights by minor
tiles whose power resides in the
special privileges which they have
plundered from the people.
We are now engaged in a po

htical campaign. The three rec
ognized parties of the country are
presenting to the people their
proposals for correction OF the
abuses from which the people adj
mittedly suffer. The republican
and democratic parties propose re-
lief by busting" the monopolies
or regulating the monopolies. The
most effectual, bit of busting"
on record was perpetrated by Mr.
Roosevelt on the Northern lSecurl-
ties Company. Mr.. I'D. Hill is
authority for the statement that
while fr>.RooseVelt's campaign
put his company to the inconven-
fence of calling in their red certi-
fcates and issuing blue ones, the
plundering power Of said com
oany was left quite unimpaired.
In view Of the futility of the bust
ing and regulating methods of the
republicans and democrats, the so
.ialists proposal for'the establish
ment Of free industrial institutions
peoples ownership and control
Of industry is striking today re
-ponsive chord in the people s IN
telligence.
The long and strong issue be-
.weens the republicans and the
democrats, is the control of office
md the spoils Of offce-the con-
rol of corruption funds that must
be Mrung from unpaid labor and
unprotected consumers. Some
what, naturally, the wayfairing
man does not listen eagerly to
their promises of crusts to him on
condition that he will deliver over
to them the champagnes and sal
ads. Somewhat naturally, there
fore, the told parties are less in
terested in the protection of the
right of street speaking in politi-
cal campaigns than is the social
list. party, the party ofsthe com
mon people. The spoilsmen, po-
litical and industrial, of our cities,
do not hesitate to fatten on graft
drawn from poisonous social cess
pools, gambling hells and houses
of prostitution. These institutions
pay their ''hush money and
flourish unmolested; but a peo-
pies meeting, discussing lawful
ways and means Of abolishing
graft and grafters, must be dis
persed by these same spoilsmen
as inimical to claw and order
We notice that the order of the
city authorities against street
speaking does not include the Sal
walton Army-presumably be
cause the Army is working in the
interests Of the worthy poor. Per
nit us to suggest that the worthy
poor are a product Of the preda-
tory rich who ride on their backs
and while we defend the right of
the Salvation Army to work fo'
it's poor, we must with equal de
termination defend the right Of
other organizations to work for
the destruction Of the politica J
and industrial tyranny out Of
which grow the crime and poverty
of the people.
