Why should the cause of Socialism
be so earnestly pleaded? The wisest
and best people all over the world have
testified in its favor They have done
more. They have declared that the
progress of civilization requires new
social order of after the Socialist Plan !;
that thes present order is out-grown
and is rapidly disintegrating.
You see evidences of social and
moral decay. on every hand.
You admit that we are on the brink
of social destructio1A Our political or
der is no longer in harmony with our
Industrial order. Because of this,
crime, disease, death and decay is
everywhere. We cannot retreat indus
trially but we can advance politically.
Why do we not do it.?
Yes, you admit that we are doomed
II we do not. Thousands all over the
land admit it. Yet you stand aloof
from the Socialist organization as if it
were some mean or Insignificant thing.
What is it that restraints you What
is it that holds your mouth closed
against what you know to be right and
so frequently opens it in favor of what
you know to be wrong? Are you not
free?

To M y Non-SociaIist Friend

Why are you so reluctant about ap.
preaching the door of a Socialist gath.
ering? = What is that feeling you ex.
per1ence when your non-Socialist
superlors see you in company with
your Socialist friends?
You do not know but your Social
list friends know They may not always
have the words at their command to
explain it, but they know.
Those feelings of restraint, those
pretended convictions, and that fear,
are the chains by which you are bound.
No, you are not free. You are a
slave. You want to be free, but you
never can be so long as those chains
are about you.
The way to break those chains is to
think! THINK! The more you think
and the greater your capacity to think,
the sooner will your chains be broken
but there is no way except to think.

Silvic Gesell of Berlin, Germany, pro
poses a new kind of government paper
money to replace all~metal money and
Danknotes now in use. The peculiarly
OF 1t is that it provides for a gradual
shrinking in its value to the extent
OF one per thousand a week. A $10C
bill in week would be worth only
I$99.90. Each bill would have lifetime
of year and at abe end of this would
have to be exchanged for another OF
the same value less the amount
of the shrinkage. 800 bill for
$94.9O. The large revenue, the govern.
ment would get in this way, Mr.. Ges-
Iell calls a, rather unimportant feature.
The real advantages, he claims are:
A. The effect on trade:
1. Expediency in the circulation of
the money and gradual establishment
Iof cash payments.
2. Unlimited sale for goods and pro-
ducts.
8. Elimination of trade, and goods

4. Doing away with the cause of

curities.

Miners Strike
At Elm Grove

Editor Wheeling Majority.
Dear Sir
Allow me a space in your valuable
paper in order that may inform the
working class of the Panhandle vicin-
Iity who are traitors to organized la
Dor.
The mine workers in Elm Grove are
now on strike for four months. They
are striking for the right to belong
to an organization; namely to the
United Mine Workers of America, a
heritage of our forefathers to be free
American citizens.
Nearly all o the miners that refused
to- work any longer non union four
months ago, are as determined as
ever to fight till success crowns their
efforts.
So, Mr.. Chambers, take notice, we
are asking nothing more than the
right to belong to an organization. If
Mr.. Chambers pretends to be fair, why
not grant your miners a demand that
will not increase the cost Of production
one mill? There is something very ser
| iously wrong with Mr.. Chambers.
Now in order that the working class
Iof The Wheeling vicinity may know
those who are the Judases and traitors
Ito the workers in general and to the
Elm Grove mine workers in particular,
so the workers could be on the look
tout, here are their names:
Joe Dennis, Dave Baumgartner. Joe
WIsnowski (Polak). Frank Eugeni
