wages. such as they were-food,
clothes, and shelter, whether his
master had work for him to do or
not, and he received them whether
he was sick. or Well, and whether he
was young or old. His wages were
the same year in and year out. He
worked harder for them in his youth
than in his old age, but he knew that
his old age was provided for.
The modern slave receives his food,
clothing and shelter-or their equi-
vilent in money-only during such
time as his master has work for him
to do. When work ceases he is
turned loose to shift for himself. In
this respect, therefore, he is infinitely
worse off than his black brother of
the old days, for the black man was
sure of his food. clothes, and shelter.
It was to his masters interest to
feed, clothe, and shelter him during
i periods of idleness, since, if he were
allowed to die, his master would have
to pay from one to two thousand dol
lars for a new slave to take his place.
New Slave Is In Want.
The slave Of today is only sure Of
his food, clothing, and shelter while
he has them. Tomorrow's existenc 2
is always a matter of indifference to
the master of today whether the slave
starves to death in a dull season, or
not. The master can always get a
new slave for nothing.
What, then, is the difference be-
! tween the old form of slavery and
! the new one?
There must be some difference,
since one form is absolutely forbid
! den by our laws and the other form
is evidently not forbidden, since it
| exists so universally.
| The difference is simply that slaves
| are no longer bought and sold for
! money, or held in bondage in the old
| way. That, instead of the master
disbursing the money which goes to
| pay for the food, clothes, and shelter
| of the slave, the money is first
handed over to the slave himself who
I then turns it over to the persons who
supply him with those necessities of
life. He may chose his own master
If he can.
! Show the World the Slaves.

free man.
| But he's a slave, just the same;
! just as much a slave as the black
man was before the war that freed
! him.
But what of the great army Of
well-paid workingmen-and women
| that are daily toiling contentedly I'll
through the length and breath of this
great country Of ours?
This ISM a story about well-pajd
:. working men.
| It's a story about slaves.
| Thank God there are weil-paid
working men-and women. Thank
Him on your knees every day of your
life for that.
But when the world points with
pride to that great army of prosper
GUS workers, seize it by the arm and
| turn it's face toward that disorganized
horde of human beings, that living,
breathing, toiling mass of workers,
who, at the end Of the long days
grind count themselves fortunate if
they have indeed food to sustain life,
clothes to cover their bodies, and a
place to sleep-and nothing more!
Show the world the slaves!

MASTER AND ST. AVE.
ANCIENT AND MODERN
Cf1ATTEL AND INDUSTRIAL

A good many years ago-about 1856,
if my adding machine is working
right-a group of patriotic American
citizens signed Certain Document
which declared, among other things,
that all men are born free and equal,
or words to that effect, and then
they went out and fought for eight
years in order to cinch the matter.
Then they were free; or at least
they were if they happened to be
born the right color. Freedom, in
those days, was purely and solely a
matter of color. If a person hap
pened to be born white, he was free:
if black, he was slave. The Ger
tain Document declared that all men
were born free, but it stopped short
at that: it didn't make them free
only those Of the right color. The
black men and women kept right on
being born slaves.
The Other Certain Document.
Then, some eighty odd years later,
another Certain Document was
signed; this time by one man-the
| greatest man of them all-and this
| Certain Document said that all men,
| regardless of their color should be
! free.
! So, today, by virtue of the existence
| there should be no slavery in this free
country Of ours.
| Let's see about that.
! The negro of the south, before
| Abraham Lincoln issued the Emanci.
patton Proclamation worked for his
master. In return for his labor hi
received food, clothing to cover his
| body, and shelter-a place to sleep
! And that was all he received for his
work.
| But the black mans food had to be
paid for, his clothes had to be paid
for, and the cabin he lived in had tc
be paid for. So, out of the money
which the black man earned for hi:
! master, the master paid for the
necessities of life for his slave. Al
! the slave earned above the amount
| required to pay for those necessitie:
went into the pocket of the master
none of the surplus went to the slave
himself.
Slavery Conditions Worse.
Today, nearly fifty years after thu
signing Of the Emancipation PROCLAIM
alton, all over this twice-freed coun
try of ours, men, women and chill
| dren-white and black-are working
under worse conditions of SLAYER!
than confronted the black man of tn.
days before the war. For their labo
these slaves of today receive food
clothing to cover their bodies, ant
shelter-a place to sleep. And that
| all they do receive. Their food
clothing, and shelter must be pait
for. So the money to pay for thes
necessities is turned over to the slav,
by the master (if you have a veal
stomach you may use the terms EN-
ployer and employe, but I like to us,
words that fit) and the slave, IL
turn, pays the money over to tn
persons who furnish him with food
clothes and shelter. The balance o
his earnings goes into the pockets o
his master. The modern slave, lik'
his prototype of old, has nothing lef
for himself.
He has received, in return for hi
labor, only food, clothes, and a plac
to sleep.
But the slave of old received hi
