THE GRAVE DIGGERS.
(By w. r. Shier.)


1t is an oft quoted saying OF
Karl Marx that Capitalism is Great
ing its own grave-d iggers And
such would appear to be the case.
Not only is economic development
moulding the forms and nourishing
the conditions which beget reyolu-
tlcns, but it is giving birth to the
active agents of discomfort
Up until quite recently the pro-
letarlat was drained of its ablest
members by their absorption into
the so-called upper classes and by
immigration into new lands These
have been the safety valves OF Eu-
rope and America for the last hun
dred years or SO. AS long as the
more ene1 getic elements among the
workers could satisfy the ambition
to better themselves by setting up
a business of their own or by max
ing bid for fortune in hitherto
unexpected territory. they remain
ed, as John r. Commons says in the
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SOCI
OLOGY, Self-coscious. But as soon
as these opportunities are taken
away from them. as soon, too, as
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1911-12-07

the aristocracy of labor, the skill
ed workers, are humbled by the
perfection of machinery and the
minute division of labor, they be-
come class-conscious. Now, the
justification of industry on the one
hand and the conquest Of the west
on the other are producing just
these effects. Not only that, but.
they are sinking a large section OF
the middle class into, the ranks OF
the wage earners. The professions,
too, are becoming overcrowded, the
high schools and colleges are turn
ing out an ever larger number of
bright young men and women un-
able to find "respectable'' posi-
tions- small investors find it in
creasinsly difficult to live upo,,
their incomes owing to the fall in the
rate of interests, while the person
al ties which once bound employer
and employee together are fast dis
appearing under corpora ton rule.
And with what result? Simply that
there is arising a body of intellect
nal proletarians who, realizing
that their economic salvation lies
in rising WITH instead of trying
to rise ABOVE the class into which
they have either fallen or been
born, ally themselves with the
forces of revolution and become the
writer's, teachers, organizers and
