great words Of promise for the future

But the very success Of the labor
union today only means that the work

partial control over property which
belongs TO the employer-and which
therefore is not their own. OF course

on this field also they have won nota-

EARLY. Dawn OF
SOCIALISM seen
State Senator W. r. Gaylord
Tells of Improved Condi-
tions in Milwaukee.
HOLDS THEORY is RIGHT
And That Eventually 1t Must Tri-
umph in Governmental Adj
mfnistFation.

State Senator W. R Gaylord of
Milwaukee addressed a large meeting
of socialists last night at Rock Island
Turner hall. Mr.. GaylcrI was elect
ed in the upper branch of the Wiscon-
sin legislature on The socialist ticket.
His topic last night was American
Socialists at Work In part he said.
with the election of a socialist
mayor in a city of the first class, and
the seating OF socialist congressman,
the American socialist movement
comes in OF the street corner and gets
down to the main job OF rebuilding civil
ization- Milwaukee socialists never did
believe that socialism is going to come,
suddenly some time in the future.
They could see it coming, now and
here and all over the civilized world.
Accordingly, their efforts have bean
constructive as well as critical And
when their representatives were eiect-
ed TO the city council, the county board
and the state legislature, they ar once
began making practical plans to do
something for the working class. now
and here. Better food, better clothes,
better houses, and better education
ing classes, ts exactly what they aim
at. We have heard that this is the
best that even a millionaire gets out
of life-and it looks good 10 us. Then
we add to this little better recreation
and amusement, and more of that, TO
make life worth living.
BY THREE PATHS.
BY three great paths, principally,
do we think that socialism is coming
now. namely: Cooperation. labor or
ganization. and political action. Al
though we have no great cooperatives
In Milwaukee now, we are looking IN
that direction, and hope TO have time
to do something in the near future We
have been pretty busy with other
things up to now. And we know what
a tremendous help the cooperatives
have been in other lands.
Socialism means industrial democ-
racy. And in the twentieth century
any democracy that is worth taii,;ug
about must mean self-Control Indus
trial self-control means the same thing
for the body of workers that self-con-
troll means for the body of a man
But it must be attained by a process
similar TO that which brings self-con-
troll to man. Practice and develop
ment are required. The labor unions
are furnishing the training in indus
trial self-control. Working men are
practicing industrial self-control by the
only means by which IL can be attain
ed for working men today. Individual
self-control in industry is abolished by
big machinery. But the body of work
ers can gain social self-control in in
dustry il they organize their Industrial
body.
PROMISE FOR FUTURE
IF the labor unions were not doing
this, and doing lit with a considerable
degree of success. We could not say
honestly that socialism is coming. But

where Uirich lived at 11b East 63rd

the hospital for several days with
his right ear torn, his scalp cut and
his face badly bruised. Prosecutions
which the defense attempted to show
were based mainly on the testimony
of Ulrich, who declared he found

Ulrich boarded. who swore that
