cOnstrain a man to work without cap

through the medium of capital. 1t is
capital which sets men to work. That
being so. the more capital there is in

promise a profit capable of rendering
capital it's wages. Capital was never

never destroyed, whether it be in the
form of a loss of credit or through
the actual physical destruction of ma

The next question for the worker
to ask is: How can capital be in
creased? In the first place. we must
recognize that capital tends to waste
and die. and that a great deal of
capital must be created every year
to replenish the waste before we can

were fired. Two tore away the sides

Berkeley, who mysteriously disap-

of Morgan's disappearance it was be-

his previous existence was gone. He

pockets he found 30 cents. but no pa

At a point near Los Angeles he Sc
cured work on ranch and later Joined

been learned that he was a practical
construction engineer earlier in his
life.
