Tie great CD Labor World 1.-The.
sheet that used to be the Official"
jewsharp OF that, great(?) inGelli-
gent(?) president of the Protective
I'm Workers Association-the gen
Llman(?) that is now scab at the
Dam-liar tinhouse-a few weeks ago
mad the following to say: Some
mriters and orators who know less
about the labor question than they dc
about the North Pole, declare that
trade unions destroy personal liberty
and keep all the workers down to a
uead level Of sloth and incompetency
4Als is just as trae as to say that the
seats in car destroy the liberty Of
...e passengers to stand UP.
Wonderful logic. Who are these
oratores and writers" referred to-?
1t is not stated, but of all the
writers that we ever came across,
me scribblers in the Labor World
axe the cake. Every member of the
-malgamated Association of Iron,
,.eel, Tin and Sheet Worker sand the
llnhouse Union that we ever talked
% about this Labor World, says that
It is simply an humbug in order to
.Aeep the workers in ignorance as to
The true remedies for their grievances
Ind also soft snap for the
41ringles and Powells and few Other
parasites OF the labor movement. We
AVE never met one worker yet tina,
pholas the nonsense 1T publishes. I.
JIeJends to be ''agln the trust but
there does us income come fESm
rAese chameleon sheets are aiming to
Keep alive the economic error that
the interests of capital (meanlng
cdpita1ists) and labor (meaning la
borers) are identical, blu tall the ora
tory and writing Of their Pringles ana
Skaters, Mitchells and LeDises, Burns
nd Bells is labor in vain, for the
,eople are awakening and soon will
oe wise enough so that they cannot
deceived by labor fakirs." Here
a gem(?) form a World editorial
How To Avoid Strikes" that
,roves that it knows less about the
abor question than about the North
-<ole. Hear him: Whether or not
ne workmen' are organized, STEADY
work" is beneficial to the community
nd 1--WE hold that steady work on all
OCCASIONS is something that we all de-
,ire.'' A tyro in economics knows
hat such a condition is impossible
inder the profit system. Even, some
Of the politicians have learned this,
IS the following from an address by
leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treas
Try under President Roosevelt proves.
Iere him: "Ths time is coming when
The manufactures will outgrow THE
country, and men by the hundreds of
thousands, will be turned out of the
-actories. The factories are multiply
.ng faster than our trade, and we will
shortly have a surplus with no one
abroad to buy and no. one at home to
Use BECAUSE THE LABORER HAS
NO TBEEN PAID ENOUGH TO BUY
BACK VIVA THE PRODUCED. What
will happen then? Hundreds of thou
sands will be turned out Of the fac
tories. They will find themselves
without food. Then will come the
great danger to the country, for these
men will be hard men to deal with.
The sentence, BECAUSE THE LA
BORER HAS NOT BEEN PAID
ENOUGH TO BUY WHAT HE PRO
DUCED" (What we Socialists have
said millions of times) contains more
economic truth than all the rubbish
ever published in the World and in
life time and to talk of"steady work"
Inder the conditions referred to. by
Ir. Shaw, proves that these sheets
Know less about the labor question
han they do about the North Pole,
boxing gloves, whiskey or houses OF
prostitution. The World gives hail
Columbia to the English Labor Party
because they compelled Burt and
Fenwick, M. P's, to either sign the
labor Party platform or retire from
Parliament insofar as the Labor party
8 concerned and the World hopes
-.hese men will be returned to Parlia-
nent in spite of the Socialists. Here
an admission Git may be slip of

are Socialists. Wrong again, Mr..
World. hTe British Labor party is
reform party but is fast moving to-
ward industrial democracy or Social
SIN, but they are not there yet, but,
it's cmoi g as Henry Watterson wrote
