POPE BETTER, HAS
WONDERFUL DREAM
DEAD SISTER SEEMED TO TELL
HIM HIS WORK WAS NOT YET
FINISHED.

Rome, April 14.-The Pope has raj.
lied in wonderful manner from tia
serious attack from which he suffered
yesterday. He appeared to be on the
point of death last night; the physic'
ians report tonight, stating that the
danger point for the present at least
has been passed DR.. Amiel paid
visit to the sick room shortly be-
fore midnight.
Although the patients temperature
had increased slightly, he found the
general condition satisfactory. He
administered a heart stimulant and
soon the Pope went to sleep
Throughout the day the tempera-
ture was normal the pulse remained
at about 50 degrees and the respira-
tion 26. This indicated a considera-
BILE amelioration in the bronchial
symptoms, which was evidenced by
easier breathing and freedom for long
periods from cough.
Takes Some Nourishment.
In addition, the Pope was able to
take some nourishment and he show
ed much interest in what was hap
pening about him. When Prof. March
iafava allowed the Pontiff's nephew
to enter the room, three was an af-
fecting scene. The frail and aged
Pontiff and the young and robust
priest embraced tenderly, the latter
being unable to restrain his emotion
at finding the Pope so changed ply
sically.
Prof Marchiafava tonight repeated
his assurances that if prudence were
exercised, the Pope would recover.
He declared that his examination of
the chest showed that the in'flamma-
ton, which yesterday was marked on
the left side, had been checked and
was actually diminishing, while the
bronchial sounds were less noticeable
Tells Of Wonderful Dream.
After his afternoon sleep, it was
observed that the Pontiff looked
bright and happy. Although he was
advised not to talk, he insisted on
explaining how he had just awakened
from a most wonderful dream.
He seemed, he said to have return
ed to his beloved Venice; that he
was in a patrarchal gondola on the
Grand canal. Everything was blaz-
ing with sunlight. when suddenly
above ST. Marks, The sky opened
and he saw a vision of his dead sis
ter, Rosa, who, descending toward
him, took his hand, saying:
THE moment has not yet come for
you to join me. Your work is not yet
Nephew Most Hopeful.
The sisters of the Pope and his
niece are happy in having the Pope's
nephew with them as lie is most hope
iul for the recovery of the Pontiff
and keeps up their spirits.
Cardinal Kopp, archbishop of Bres.
au. is expected soon to arrive. He
las the highest veneration for the
Pope and, being deeply affected by
he reports of the Pontiff's serious
desires even if he can not
zee him, to be near him.

is A CLASS STRUGGLE.

But with the development Of indus
try the proletariat not only increases
in number; it becomes concentrated
in greater masses, its strength grows,
and It feels that strength more. The
various interests and conditions OF life
within the ranks of the proletariat are
more and more equalized, in proper
ton as machinery obliterates all dis
tinctions Of labor, and everywhere re-
duces wages to the same law level.
The growing competition among the
bourgeois, and the resulting COM
mercial crises, makes the wages of
the workers ever more fluctuating.
The uneeasing improvement of ma
chinery, ever more rapidly develop
ing, makes their livelihood more and
more precarious; the collisions be-
tween individual worl1men and indi-
vidual bourgeois take more and more
the character of collisions between
two classes.-Communist Manifesto.

ARE YOU DOING THIS?

Comrade reader, do you realize that
there are a number of people right
here in Everett who do not belong to
the party but who are nevertheless
perfectly willing to contribute to the
support of the Commonwealth, and
thus aid in the propaganda of Social
ism? DO you know this? And do you
know that YOU yourself are the very
one to get this support from them?
And without cost or effort on your
part, at that.
Now you want to know how this is
possible, don't you?
Well, it's a very easy matter; it's a
little matter of simply leaving your
Commonwealth card with the clerk
when you do your trading. That's all
Just get some little cards which the
Commonwealth furnishes free to all
who ask for them. Then look over
the list of merchants who help our
cause by advertising with us; go to
them and make your purchase, and
after you are through, drop your Com
monwealth card on the counter.
Is there anything easier than this in
the way of helping our cause?
Do you do this?
Can you begin to imagine what
power the Commonwealth could be II
this country if every Socialist who
makes even a Csc purchase would droI

IN AUSTRIA.
Against the Ten-Hour Day.

The legal eleYen-hour day for manu-
factories has existed in Austria since
1885. But this maximum working
time" has been regularly exceeded by
"a very liberal extension Of overtime.
The maximum working time-at least
for female workers-has, in most
European countries been legally fixed
at 10 hours, or in some cases even
less, since 1885, In Austria the social
democratic members Of parliament
every year submitted new propositions
for the introduction of the 10-hour day
into all industries A few weeks ago.
a similar proposition was discussed i'm
committee and the parties, including
the Christian Socialists, the represen-
tatiyes Of the christian" trade unions.
again voted same down.

IT WAS A GOOD BUSINESS.

Colonel Mulhall was once a choris-
ter In praise of the Lord in n Catholic
church In Cleveland. Then he be
came field agent for the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers. and did
some highly skillful corruption.
Charles c. zenkert and John r.
Mcader are two newspaper writer's
who were connected with the nov
| thoroughly defunct anti-Socialist Com
mon Cause and Live Issue. They were
palpitatngly Catholic, and were al
ways denouncing the Socialists for
their sinful ways.
Both of them at the same time were
working for the Bureau of American
Industries, a branch of the National
Association of Manufacturers.
Mulhall was a tool Kenkert and
Meader were tools. Mulhall is a self
confessed crook. And the other two
are Christian gentlemen who worked
for the same concern as Mulhall.
zenkert and Meader, over and over
again, through the Common Cause
and the Live Issue, denounced the So
cialists and lied about them.
The papers with which they were
connected never did and never could
pay them any real wages. Were they
paid by the National Association of
Manufacturers, and if so, was the
Catholic church using this unspeak-
able organization, or was it using the
church?
AS is well known, the N. A. M. made
a great pretense of increasing our
trade with Latin-America. Latin
American countries are for the most
part Catholic. In this game, which
was using which? Was the church
the user and the N. A. M. the tool, or
was it the other way round? Which
ever way it was, the whole thing was
dirty and crooked.
The most serious point that has yet
been developed is the connection of
the Catholic church with the National
Association of Manufacturers and the
anti-Socialist movement. The two or
CARNATIONS have been working hand
in hand, and at every turn the church
| is met.
1t would be interesting to know
whether or not the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers paid for the pub
LEGATION of the Common Cause and the
Live Issue. This point has always
been a matter of curiosity, for neither
publication ever came anywhere near
paying for itself, and the church plays
only the sure-thing game. Possibly
the N. A. M. merely loaned two of its
tools to the Catholic anti-Socialist pub
LEGATIONS.
While this game was going on, Zen
kert entered the Newswriters' union,
and as member of it became a dele
gate to the Central Federated union.
Why? Probably to forward the cause
of the N. A. M. and other anti-labor
organizations.
There is a delightful mixup here,
and one that should speedily be
Strengthened out.-EXchange

Some Socialists believe that the
capitalists can arbitrarily control the
prices of commodities. This is a mis-
take. The capitalists cannot control
commodity prices for this reason:
There are always vast aggregations OF
capital (money capitaD seeking In
vestment. Water seeks the lowest
level, but capital seeks the highest
profit. Profit or the prospect of profit
is the incentive which induces the in.
vestment ST capital. Should an ag-
gregation of capital secure corner
on certain commodities, and arbitrar-
lily raise the price on these commod
tiles above their value, new capital
would be lured into the manufacture
of those commodities and thus by in
creasing the supply, would force prices
down to or possibly below the real
value of the commodity.

If out of ten units of production the
Master keeps eight and gives the work
ers two the Master has eight-tenths
the best of it. Now, if by organization
the workers succeed in getting more
wages or shorter hours they raise
their rate from two to three, it must
of necessity lower the masters rate
from eight to seven. Hence the work
ers have benefited themselves by rails
ing their RATE OF WAGES and have
also lowered the Masters RATE OF
PROFIT. This being true, it is un-
scientific to claim that for every raise
in wages there is a corresponding
raise in the price of commodities.

Constitutionally speaking there may
be one law for master and another for
slave, but both master and slave are
subject to the higher law-ECONOMIC
law. The master buys raw material,
steam or electric power, labor power,
etc. He buys these commodities AT
THEIR VALUE, but by being allowed
ownership of the means of produc-
ton, he is in a position to take and
keep the greater values created in the
process of production.
