JESUIT OPPONENTS
OF SOCIALISM
CHANGE THEIR
TACTICS

Not many months ago the Roman
Catholic priests were laundering their
anathemas against socialism. In their
eyes, or In the eyes of their superiors
who tell them what to say, 1t was
vile thing without a saving feature, 1t
was a child of the devil, and its spokes'
men ought to be sllenced with bullets.
Now, behold, a quick change. The
willy Jesuit smirks and smiles. Father
Bernard Vaughan, who slammed us so
recently, slaps us Familiarity. calls us
Comrades" and says:
q" We are under a great debt
of gratitude to the socialists, and for
two reasons. In the first place they
have opened the eyes of the public to
realize the state of things in our
midst. They have told the world what
the working man Is suffering from.
They have diagnosed his case, and
they have revealed to the world what
It is to live life or an existence under
the sweated wage, trying to make the
ends meet, when the problem seemed
impossible. We are indebted to the
socialists most especially for having
told us on both sides Of the Atlantic
the needs of our poor brothers and Sis
tiers. They have not been alone in
telling us this story. There are men
and women innumerable who are not
socialists in any sense of the word,
who also have been at pains to tell US
what their discovery is in the slum-
doms of our great seething cities.
We are thankful to the COM
rades for having set US the example
of how to go to work in the cause we
have at heart. They are object les
sons to us in their spirit Of self-sac-
rifice in their tremendous earnestness,
in their propaganda, in their trust, and
in their method of showing us that
their cause is right at the root of their
hearts"
Likewise, the Jesuit Father Terence
j. Shealy, professor Of Jurisprudence
in Fordham university, and editor Of
periodical specially issued to COM
bat socialism, has changed his tune,
and instead of his former denuncia-
lions he now damns us with faint
praise. He says:
1.-THE only way to combat socialism
is to remedy those wrongs which have
given socialism reason for existence.
1t will do us no good merely to refute
the arguments Of the socialist. We
must furnish a constructive program
of reform. We must right the grave
and deep-seated abuses to which Amer
lean labor has been subjected. We
must curb the power Of capital"
Be not deceived by these Jesuits.
They stand pat for the old rotten capt.
talist system, no matter what they say,
and no matter how often they change
their face and their tune.
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1913-04-04

Talking about laziness, we workers
are fools to work as hard as we do.
However, it is only temporary insan-
ity on our part. We have to get an
eight-hour law, and then later on we
will reduce it to six hours, or per-
haps to four hours, and when the work
ers are sufficiently united we will take
the earth. It's ours anyway; we get
from it all that is got; the capitalist
only looks idly on and juggles with
his bank book while we do all the
real work
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1913-04-04

Many a mutton-headed supporter OF
the capitalist system puts up this sort
OF argument: Divide up the money
today equally among all and tomor-
row some viii have nothing while
others viii have more than their
share" Don't worry; we amt going
to trouble about dividing up the
money. We are going to cooperate in
the ownership Of our Jobs. which Is
mighty different proposition.
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1913-04-04
ChatteI Slaves
and Wage Slaves

The chattel slave never had to
worry about being out of job; even
IL there was no work to do his master
had to feed him because he was valu-
able. How different is the lot of the
wage-slave. 1t is now no longer neces-
sary for employers to invest many
thousands OF dollars in the bodies OF
laborers to carry on their capitalistic
operations. The buyer OF labor power
no longer visits a slave auction, but
merely let's it be known by an adver-
tisement or in some other way, that
he wants workers for his business.
Many more than he requires will make
their way tramping the highways, hit
ting the ties, clinging to the brake
beams of freight trains, or cheating
Jimmie Hill out of ride on a pas
senger; anyway, no matter how, SO
long as they are conveyed to the place
offering a chance of job, carrying
with them the labor power which they
have to sell. Arrived at the desired
haven as Simons says, ''They find no
long line of masters to bid for their
bodies but on the other hand the work
ers themselves engage in sort OF
Dutch auction" where the lowest
bidder takes the job"
Then again If the chattel slave fell
l.;
about him because he was valuable
property. The masters wife would
see that everything was done that
could be done to nurse the slave back
again to health. The daughters OF the
house with their own fair hands pre-
pared the poultices and plasters and
potions and punk necessary or sup
posed to be necessary for the SICK
man. The masters son would mount
the fleetest horse on the estate and
rise If necessary forty miles to get
the best doctor in the county to tend
that sick slave. No expense was
spared to nurse him back to health,
because he represented an outlay OF
anything up to $4,000.
How different 1t is today with the
poor wage slave. He contracts con-
sumption or some other dread disease
through the foul atmosphere and I'M
sanitary conditions of the place where
his employer forces him to work; or
through having been so exploited that
| his miserable wages only allow enough
for him to house himself and family
in an unwholesome shack or disease
ridden tenement He can crawl home
and die for aught the modern en-
ployer cares, because plenty more
wage slaves are forthcoming on the
brake beams of plenty more freight
trains to take his place.
Under the present cruel capitalist
system, the wage slave Is of less con-
sequence than the former chattel slave
was. But at the same time the wage
slave has it in his own power to alter
the whole of the miserable business
whenever he will, by combining with
his class at the ballot box, and taking
over for himself the whole manage
ment of the country. If he has not
sense enough to rise to the top and
control industry he had better go on
riding the brake beams until he learns
his lesson.

Thanks to the Chicago charity
agents we know that the old gag about
poverty being due to drunkenness, laz-
mess and all that sort of stuff is as
untrue as we have always said it was.
The charity official figures tell us that
while unemployment caused 1920
cases of poverty, intemperance caused
1905; while illness brought 4,311 cases
of poverty, idleness caused $50.
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1913-04-04

The fat old business man, who
strokes his full stomach and talks
glibly about intemperance and lazi-
ness causing the most part of the mis-
cry of the submerged portion Of the
population, is proved to be as far from
the real facts as his perjured soul is
from the gates of heaven.

FOOD FOR YOUR THINK TANK

Chicago philanthropists keep as
strict accounts of their business as a
bookkeeper in any commercial con-
Germ Their charity figures tell some
ugly truths that the supporters of this
rotten capitalist form of society will
find it hard to get over.
