BY VINCENT ST. JOHN, |
Representative of the Industrial
Workers of the World.
We expect to cure the grievous
mal-adjustment between capital and
labor by organizing and educating
the working class into a knowledge
of economic position for the purpose
of gaining REQUISITE POWER to
ADVANCE their interests, DEFEND
their interests, with the ultimate OBJ
ject of placing the control and oper-
alton of industries into the hands and
under the Jurisdiction of the organ
lied wage workers of the country, so
that the result of their efforts -the
WEALTH PRODUCED BY THEM
and by THEIR COLLECTIVE Eff
FORSYTH accrue TO those who
are responsible for it's CREATION
without having to PAY TRIBUTE to
any employing class or any other
PARASITICAL class whatever
1t is proposed to accomplish this
by organizing ALL THE WORKERS
in such manner that it will be pos
sible for them, through their organ
ization, to CONTROL THE LABOR
POWER which is simply THEIR
brains and THEIR muscular energy
that is used from day to day and
year to year, in the operation of in
dustries, which, today, is just a COM
MODIFY sold on the labor market
under the same rules, governed by
the same conditions, as any other
commodity; and the Industrial Work.
ers of the World propose that the
wage workers organize in such way
that they will control a SUFFICIENT
amount of this COMMODITY to oper-
ate the industries so that THEY will
be able to DICTATE the terms upon
which 1T is USEDi
We must educate the workers in

NEED MONEY FOR
ROADS IN A LUMP
Nissen, in Talk at Club Lunch,
Argues in Favor of a County
Bond Issue.

A. E. Nissen. field secretary of the
Iowa State Auto association, urged
business men of Rock Island today at
lunch at the Rock Island club that
they boost the Good Roads" day meet
ing next Monday. Mr.. Nissen spoke
ten minutes.
Rock Island county has spent ST.
600, 900 for roads in the past % years,
he said. However, road improvement
in this country has been slow because
different rural communities could not
agree as TO construction. With an
Illinois law favorable to the issuance
of bonds for road work he said Rock
Island county had an advantage over
Iowa counties. In Iowa a law exists
against bond issues for improved
roads.
To build good roads all the money
should be available at one time. He
discouraged the plan of road improve
ment by means of a 5-mill tax each
year.

ANTI-HOG CHOLERA
SERUM TO FARMERS
Department Of Agriculture Been
Endeavoring for Years to Pre-
vent Spread Of Disease.

The United States department OF
agriculture has been engaged contin-
uously for more than 26 years In en-
deavoring to discover some method Of
preventing or curing hog cholera As
Ia now quite generally known, these
experiments Of the department finally
resulted in the discovery OF serum
that will prevent the disease when
properly prepared and administered.
The results OF these experiments of
the department of agriculture were
brought to the attention of the author
tiles In all of the states. and as a re-
suit approximately 80 different states
are engaged In the distribution OF anti
hog-cholera serum to farmers.
This work has undoubtedly resulted
in a great saving to the indigidual
farmer. but 1t has not resulted in the
eradication or noticeable diminution
OF the disease in the country as
whole. The department of agricul-
ture believes that with this serum to
use as basis, countrywide cam
paign, looking to the elimination or
control OF hog cholera should be un-
dertaken. Congress- has recognized
the Importance Of such work by an
appropriation Of $4,000. This appro-
priation authorizes the department of
agriculture to demonstrate the best
methods OF controlling hog cholera
and the work thus authorized has al
ready begun. although, owing to the
small amount Of money available. It II
necessarily restricted to few local.
