FOR USE-THE
GOAL OF ORGANIZATION

H. L. Hughes. editor of The Spokane
Labor World, spoke to an appreciativC
audience in Labor Temple Monday
evening on the subject OF industrial
Evolution"
He prefaced his address by few
remarks on the Importance of live
label league in every trade union cen
ter. He emphasized it as a matter OF
bread and butter to the household and
urged the women to use their purchas-
ing power to back up the labor power
of the bread winners.
He made a strong plea for the labor
press and characterized it as the back
bone of the labor movement The labor
editor works every working hour of the
twenty four to get eight hours a day
and better pay for the mass of the
workers. A clinching argument on the
power of the labor press was made by
comparison of two great events. Me
Partland, the Pinkerton agent, in the
early nineties provoked acts of violence
and violations of law among the work
ers of Pennsylvania at the instigation
of the capitalist class who sought to
crush out the instinct of organization
The famous Molly Maguires trouble en-
sued and several men were executed. At
that time the labor press had but lit
tie power and the plot of the capital
lists was successful because there was no
press TO expose its workings. Years
afterward at the instigation of the mine
owners of Idaho and Colorado, the same
Mcfarland tried to hang Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone. But by that time
every city of consequence had a labor
paper which took up the fight for those
men and exposed to the nation the ne
farious plots of the capitalists and they
were robbed of their victory, He quot
ed the Warren case of still more recent
history as an example of the power Of
the labor press on both the industrial
and economic field and urged the work
ers of Everett to support their labol
publications
1t is now generally understood by tn,
workers that labor is the basis of al
wealth and that labor organizes to get
larger share OF what it produces
Wages have nearly reached their elima,
was the opinion Of the speaker, an,
the shortening Of hours and bette
working conditions, the only thing lef

leading banks of the republic and the
foremost corporation lawyers; between
them they control the national finan-
ces and the avenues of trade; the min
lister of fianee is himself their recog-
nized leader; they hold in their hands
the granting of all franchises and con-
cessions, the making of municipal, state
and national loans, the appointment of
cabinet ministers, governors, judges and
other fice-holders, the collection of
taxes and the disposal of the national
revenue. In what country, pray, be it
autocracy, constitutional monarchy or
republic, can you find an unofficial body
holding such power as this?

to achieve on the industrial field Fur
ther progress must be made on the po-
Ilitical field through united political ac-
tion.
He traced the change from the days
of hand production to the present in
dustral system with its great labor dis
placing machinery. In the old days la
Dor was constantly employed and but
little capital was required to set up in
business for himself The employer
worked side by side with his men and
bond OF sympathy existed between
them. Then it was possible for labor
to secure nearly all of that which it
produced, Today the worker is bound
to the wage system as he cannot by
any possibility compete with the great
industrial machine,
Capital depends upon surplus OF la
Dor to compete for the means of sub
sistence and cannot exist without that
surplus, Under the profit system there
must always be surplus of labor and
a surplus of production The worker
cannot buy back that which ne pro
duced as he receives but a tithe in wag
es. A scramble for foreign markets by
every producing nation is the result and
when the undeveloped countries become
industrially developed capitalism must
fall for there are no markets at home
or abroad for that surplus. The rem
edy is production for use instead of
for profit. 1t is no new theory but is
held by thinking men of every civilized
country who see the downfall of the
capitalist system. Under production
for use panics must cease as the work
ers will create a continual demand for
the things they produce. Production for
use was pictured as the ultimate end
of trades unionism.
Mr.. Hughes address was argumenta-
tive throughout and no word of abuse
nor bitterness toward individual mem
bers of the capitalist class was uttered
He appealed to mems thoughtfulness
rather than to their passions and pre-
judices and left deep impression upon
the minds Of his hearers.
Mr. Hughes is thoughtful and earnest,
and the whole tendency of his idea on
economic questions Is constructive He
made many friends while in the city,
who will welcome his return at some
future date. q

ferrine a part of Mexican Central stocE
which he held, to Hartman, thus Civ
inc the latter large interest in that
line. With this substantial foundation
laid, Hartman sent one OF his most
trusted and plausible agents, Samuel
Morse FELTON,, to talk DiaZ over to the
merger plan In time FELTON, succeeded,
With FELTON, advancing arguments on
one side, and Limantour, in whose II
nancial Judgment he trusted implicitly
urging on the other and the great Har-
riman pounding away by post and WIRE
consented to the merger and in due time
the world was informed that the MeM-
can government had accomplished a
great financial feat by securing the
ownership of it's own railway lines. The
fact is however, that in addition to
distributing several millions of loot
among associates of the Cientifico ca
marila the merger only resulted in
placing Hartman in a position to seize
the roads at some time in the not dis
tant future. For if the Mexican gov
eminent had obtained control of the
stock Hartman and his Wall Street
associates held what is infinitely bet
ter and more important, the railway
bonds.
Here are the obligations in gold with
which the Mexican governmental the
suggestion of Mr.. Hartman and with
| the assent of Minister Limantour-ha
burdened itself as result of this ac-
founding operation:
$225,OO0,000 in prior lien Az per
cent redeemable gold bonds.
$160,0O0,OO0 in guaranteed general
mortgage 4 per cent. redeemable gold
bonds.
$30,000,000 in non-cumulative 4 per
cent. first preferred shares.
1925, 100000 in non cumulative )
per cent second preferred shares.
$75,000,000 in common shares.
In other words, Mr.. Hartman and
his associates eollared the bonds of
1885, 100000, which have to pay no
less than $16,525,000 year in order
to keep out of the hands of the ghost
ly Hartman.
"If the government" says Professor
Powell, "does not pay, the bondholders
can and will foroclose. And just how
the government is going to pay | for
one do not clearly see. The Mexican
Central and the Mexican National are
cheapely built roads and their rolling
stock is of an inferior quality Their
entire mileage totals under 5400 miles
yet under the government merger they
have been capitalized at $615 .000,0 600
gold or some $4,000 per mile, a
state of affairs which looks suspicious
| ly as though they had been watered.
The Mexican Central is thirty years
old, and yet it has never paid a penny
in dividends. The Mexican National is
only five years younger yet it has paid
less than two per cent. II is no secret
that when Limantour and his associates
effected the merger the Mexican Central
was in such precarious condition fl
nancially that. in another twelvemonth
il would have been reorganized. Now
If the railways comprising the mergei
have been unable to pay dividends, how
