SOCIALISM THE WAY OUT

In the place Of the present capitals
tic system, Socialism proposes the new
social order-the collective ownership
and the democratic operation Of the
natural resources and social utilities
upon which the coming life and labor
OF the people depend for the common
good Of all.
This Socialist movement declares to
be the supreme issue-the only pos
sible solution-the only financial re-
lief-the only program worth while.
Compared to this everything else is
unimportant.
Without this everything else is use
less.
Henceforth, Socialism is the supreme
issue-the only, way out
However, while holding firmly and
steadily to the final goal, the Socialist
party nevertheless offers a construc-
tive program for immediate action,
formulates measures that will aid in
bringing about the new Socialist order,
and leads the way in the struggles for
the higher civilization. - Socialist

but as the result of a fifteen day strike.
In Mount Waldo, Me-, another agree
ment was secured. carrying with it an
Increase of one cent per hour. At Ray

cured which runs from year to year
with a minimum wage scale of $3.50

land, Ohio also gained 25 cents per
day without any difficulty. All of these
local unions have an eight hour day,

One great fact stands out boldly to-

The Socialist political organization
was formed by 3workingmen for work

In a few words, the Socialist Party
stands for a square deal for every

There are not more than five hun
dred thousand persons who profit by
the success OF the Democratic Party

For U. s. Employees

Washington, D. c., April pa bill
providing compensation for, employees
of the United States suffering injuries
and occupational diseases in the course
OF their employment has been intro
duced in the United States Senate by
Senator Kern of Indiana. This bill is
to supplant the present law which has
numerous weaknesses. and which only
embraces about one-third of the 35O, 900
Federal employees, grants no relief for
1ncapacity lasting less than fifteen
days, makes no provision for medical
treatment, and it's most liberal benefit
grants only one years wages for total
blindness, lifelong disability or death.
The Kern bill includes all civilian en-
ployes of the Government and reduces
the waiting time from fifteen DAYS to
three, and grants a liberal scale of
compensation during the entire period
OF disability. Special provision is also
made for the prevention of accidents
and occupational diseases In navy
yards and Government workshops.
Another new feature is Compensation
for occupational diseases such as lead
poisoning. The drafting Of this bill is
largely the result of Investigations
made by the American Association for
Labor Legislation.
