The Secret of power.

Would you understand the method
whereby those white slavers" fleece
heir victims? It is by playing the
hopeless poverty of cle person off
against the hopeless poverty of an
other in their bargain driving. Here
is an example. A garment worker OF
the name of Yacullo-a "scab" in the
slang of the labor war, which is
equivalent to "deserter'' or TRAITOR
in other kinds of war-shot striker
md killed him. Yacullo explained: -"I
cannot afford to strike; have a. wife
and seven hungry children to support"
There is the secret of the power Of
the oppressive employer. He pirates
about the right Of the worker to work
without molestation, whether he gets
enough out of it to live on or not
Judges echo these employers. They
have perverted the law Of Injunction
to help them out. And preachers
garb their greediness in religious
mask. What such employers really
demand masks offs the right to
play timid victims of plundering in
dustrial system against drawer ones.
Men. who cannot afford to strike be-
cause they have hungyr wives and
children to support, and girls who
cannot afford to lose work because
they have feminine virtue to conserve

lures upon whom your sordid strike
