and disregarded of human life, just
as they have been for ten years about
the loss of the Slocum in New York
harbor when that vessel burned with
a thousand children on board.
In this instance of last Sunday
night, the capitalistic themselves
were on board, and some hundreds OF
wealthy men and millionaires stepped
aside to let others pass to the boats,
knowing that their own race was run
and that within few hours their
own bodies would be cold and stiff

WHAT WILL THEY SAY?

We are wondering what the Appeal
to Reason will say about the loss of
the Titanic. There seems to have
been a lack of boats and RATS or
some hitch in the service that pre-
vented them from being used to save
the lives Of the passengers and crew.
Every vessel is required to carry
enough boats and RATS to put all its
people safely afloat in case of disa-
bility of the vessel itself, but in this
Instance, the best steamer in the
world, could save only forty per cent
of it's people.
If the steamer had been loaded
with poor emigrants or working peo-
pie, and sixty per cent Of them had
stood on, the decks and gone down
with the vessel, all because there
were not enough boats to carry them,
the Appeal to Reason and all of its
speakers throughout the world would
have been throwing the javelin into
the capitalistic class for their greed
