The Percentage Of Exploitation
Among The Wealth Producers

The discussion which has been 60
inG on III regard To the rate Of eX-
! plotation is Il very wholesome one.
II ought to result in fewer statements
being made in our press and from
our platform which can successfully
be aSSailcd by the enemy.
The problem is not Il simple one.
On the contrary it is very intricate
and complex The solution cannot
be reached by mere subtraction of
one figure from another.
To take the amount for which the
manufactured products are sold, and
deduct the amount of wages paid To
the factory workers. and set down
the balance As the amount of eN-
Dlniati0n. is to reach an utterly it,
logical convMSion-a conclusion that
cannot be sustained for moment.
There are several factors which
this naive method of reasoning do
not take into Observation-Disclosures
on the cnemy's side of the line and
factors on our side.

The Strike

a strike on the part Of the work
inGmen is the result of q determina-
ton Of organized men To combat an
organized foe.
The workers should clearly recoG-
nize that the efforts of the politicians
and lawmakers of the capitalist class
to make strikes illegal and impossible
is Il direct attempt TO rid them Of
the right to protest against oppression
and wrong.
The American Revolutionary War
war military strike. The French
Revolution was a social strike. The
revolt Of the Italian Garabadi was a
religious strike. The English ReVolu-
ton was Il political strike. And the
Worldwide conflict between Capital
AMI Labor will be and is a gigantic
crOnomic-indu5tral strike.
To deny the right to strike and Of
fer organized protest TO organized
greed is to place the large bulk Of hu-
manty al tEe mercy of the few who
happen to possess large capitals.
Every forward movement in the
worlds history has been the the re-
suit of an organized protest or strike.
And to make the demand TO abolish
strikes more Ridiculous. it is the rob
hrr harons Of profit who live by OPP
pressing the workers that are trying
to make laws prohibiting strikes.
1t would be rs reasonable for a
prize fighter to request that his oppo-
nrnl have his hands tied behind his
back. The peace Of society is not
more important than the preservation
of Justice.
A society. the fabric Of which is
permeatcd with hatred Of oppressed
by opprcsSor is not fit to live.

In Piano Recital
BY SYLVESTER RAWLANG.
