THE COMING STORM
4(By Hugh McGee.)

The Socialist movement in the
United States is engaged in as fierce
and terrific a struggle in the political
field as Thea struggle of the unions in
the industrial field. 1t is more than
that 1t is a death grapple with or
ganized society.
All the present laws, all the present
customs, all the present beliefs, all the
present conventionalities, all the pres
ent social actions are based on sthe
present so-called rights of the present
profit system.
In Europe there are conflicting con-
litions, such as castles and the heredi-
.ary beliefs in the divine rights of
Kings and the vested rights of the
landed aristocracy, while in America
the issue is clear cut fight against
he continuation of the present accept
ed political beliefs of the people of
the United States.
Today in the United States, the
capitalist system of society compels
the recognition Of the superiority of
the men who inherit money or accu-
mulate money, over all other meg, as
well as permitting one man or set Of
men to take what another man has
made, or ten thousand men have made
providing wages are paid to- these
men.
IN other words, you can legally take
what another man makes if you feed
him.
Now the Socialists say that this is
robbery, and they propose to stop it.
They propose to make a new law
when Will say that no man or set OF
men can take profit, rent or interest
from any man, woman or child who is
living today or from those Who will
be born tomorrow.
They propose to make a new law
which will say that all the instru-
ments of production and distribution
used for private profit shall hence
forth belong to all the people Of the
United States.
They propose a cooperative COM
MONWEALTH
1t is a death struggle and it is in
evitable that the continued robbery OF
the many by the few must and will
cease.
