POWER Of INDUSTRIAL WORKERS Of
THE WORLD IS GROWING RAPIDLY
Divides All Mankind Into the Capitalists the Unonized Skilled La
bor and the Ignorant, Non unionzed Often Aien Nom
Skilled Labor-Many Men Of Great Powers Of
Thought Have Been Drawn to Movement.

New York.-The present labor disor-
ders in Butte, Mont, bring into sharp
contrast the two very different sys-
TENS. the l. w. w. Industrial Workers
of the World) and the old line trades
unions.
By desperate struggles the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor had brought
the mine owners of Butte to such
degree of docility that they signed an
representatives take their stations at
the mouths of the mine pits and bar
all men not N good standing. as shown
by union card" from the workings.
This Is about the acme of collective
bargaining and the zenith of union
ism.
But the /. W. w. has discarded col
lective bargaining and sneered at the
right to let only union men into the
mines.
The mines are the workers, say
the l. w. w. They not only belong
to the miners, but the miners actually
have them in their hands. All they
need to do is to take possession and
keep the so-called owners, or capital
ist class, out altogether"
So when a section of the Butte min
ers revolted against the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and the card system,
these malcontents announced their
intention of affiliating with the l. w.
w.
But right here was to be noted
curiosity or perhaps step forward
by the l. w. w. The l. w. W. has
divided all mankind into the capital
lists, the unionized, skilled labor; and
the ignorant, non-unionized, often alien,
non-skilled labor. To the third class,
or the Masses has been the !. w.
w. appeal. Their leaders have de-
clared the l. w. W. mission is to show
this vast bulk of workers their
strength.
But in Butte, Americans have Just
seen a large number of skilled mine
workers declare for the l. w. w.
The l. w. w. seems to be succeeding
in its plan to begin at the bottom Of
the Industrial order and work upward.
Perhaps the side of the l. w. w. doc
trines which appealed to the miners
was their vastly greater demands as
compared with those of the bargaining
trades unioRs.
These people are not looking for
wages, they want to own the fac
tory" declared an astonished Phila-
delphia manufacturer in the early
years of the l. w. w.
So they do. The l. w. w. leaders
tell their followers they will strike
and demand 15 per cent of the prod
ucts of the factory; then strike again
and get further Is per cent and con-
tinue this process until labor has the
whole 100 per cent.
The owner of the factory will take
his place at loom or a wheel and re-
ceive the same proportion of the re-
turns as the other workmen.
Writing more than two years ago,
Charles Willis Thompson, who has
made study of labor questions. de-
clared the i. w. W., "is the most se-
rious menace the present system Of
society has ever been called upon to
face.
In these two years many things
have tended to bear out his predic-
ton. The l. w. w. strikes come with

An idler once asked wise man,
What is the most wonderful creature
that lives?" The wise man answered,
1.-The bee. If you will study the wonder
workings of this tireless insect; if you
will observe the organs so simple, yet so
complex, so exactly suited to it's life and
to its purpose in life; if you will believe
the things you see while serving as a spy
upon its going and it's coming, you will
be worker henceforth the rest of your
days. For in the economy of nature there
is no exalted place for the drone. Only
those live that work, and in their work
they find happiness.

and here the Rev. Thomas j. Hagerty,
Roman Catholic priest, wrote the ia
nous preamble, remarkable docu-
ment which may prove to have
place in history equal to the Magma
Charta, the Bill of Rights and the
American Declaration of Independence.
A remarkable thing that Catholic
priest, of religious sect which has
now condemned the l. W. w., should
have opened this terrible preamble, de-
claring war on the social structure
reared by the centuries.
Here is the famous preamble. written
by the Rev. Thomas Hagerty, Ro-
man Catholic priest, and adopted with
minor changes by the founders of the
Industrial Workers of the World ten
years ago:
The working class and employing
class have nothing in common. There
can be no peace SO long as hunger and
want are found among millions of
working people, and the few who make
up the employing class have all the
good things of life.
Between these two classes a strug-
come together on the political as well
as on the industrial field, and take and
hold that which they produce by their
labor through an economic organiza-
ton of the working class, without afiil-
iation with any political party.
The rapid gathering of wealth and
the centering of the management of in
dustries into fewer and fewer hands
makes the trades unions unable to
cope with the evergrowing power of
the employing class. because the
trades unions foster a state of
things which allows one set of work
ers to be pitted against another in
wage wars. The trades unions aid the
employing class to mislead the work.

class have interests in common with

OBREGON WINS A
 NOTABLE VICTORY
DEFEATS s.o00 FEDERALS WHO WERE DEFENDING GUADALA-

Saltilo, July S.-General Obregon has administered a terrific defeat to the army of 6,000 federals outside Guadalajara, after four days severe fighting, according to q dispatch re- ceiyed today by General Carranza. The details of the engagement were not given in the message. Obregon reported that he was at Ahualuco, near Guadalaiara, when thirty troop trains carrying more than 6,000 fed erals came out from Guadalajara to attack. Obregon stationed his own troops outside Ahualulco, checked the federal advance, and after a deS- perate battle put the federals to flight after capturing ten of their trains containing a large quantity of arms. ammunition and other supplies.
 large number of prisoiers also was captured, and as the character of the fighting is said to have been most severe it is inferred here the casualties on both sides were heavy, Saltllo went wild when the news was made public this morning. church bells were rung, bands played and the people gathered in the streets and plazas cheering continuously for Obreeon and the men of the division of the northwest Guadalaiara is not expected to offer much resistance.
