AN OBJECT LESSON

Were the workers, as a class,
amenable to reasoning; could they, as
class, learn anything from expert
ence and observation, there would
never again be any but Socialist
elected to office in the city of Ev-
erett. Comrade Salter as a Socialist
representative in the city council, has
clearly and forcibly shown by all his
official acts that real MARKHAM So
cialist Ga "Red Hand" as the Herald
puts it, in office makes good"-for
the working class. The work of non
Socialist officials is partly recorded
above in opposition to Salter's.
In another year the workers of Ev-
erett will have an opportunity to
elect THREE Socialists to the city
council 1t remains to be seen how
much intelligence they will manifest
on the day three new commissioners
are elected.

THE I. w. w. PROBLEM.

The Miner believes that sooner or
later the people of this country will
have to deal decisively with the l. w.
W. movement which has extended all
over the United States"
We agree with the Miner-and the
sooner the better. But the way the
l. w. w. movement has been dealt
with thus far by the authorities is
anything but decisive. The l. w. W.
movement is simply the unemployed
movement, and the driving of hungry
and homeless men from place to
place, of turning the fire hose on
them and beating them up with clubs
is a very UNdecisive way of settling
the unemployed problem. The rowing
workers of the United States will not
be contented with clubs, guns and
jails when they read in the papers
of the grain they have harvested be-
ing sent to Europe to help prolong
the war. An opportunity to procure
food would be a much more decisive
way to deal with the l. W. w prob
lem than to meet it with force

evils are revealed In the Review OF
.abcr Legislation of 1914, issued by

| legislation Laws affecting the
rights of workers We're enacted by
Congress, by thirteen State Legisla-
lures which convened this year, and
by popular vote at many of the re-
cent elections,
A summary OF the labor laws fol-
lows:
Three legislatures enacted laws re-
curing industrial accidents or occu-
pational diseases to be reported, New
Jersey adopted scientific measures to
prevent lead poisoning in lead plants
and potteries. A number of states
legislated upon the subject of safety
in mines, regulation OF canneries and
tenement workshops. and for the pro
lection OF railroad workers.
Seven states perfected their ma
chinery for efficient factory inspec
ton.
Eleven states took action on chile
labor laws; the laws, with the ex
ception of those In Maryland and Mis-
sissippi, tending to raise age limits
and educational requirements, ant
shorten working hours.
| BY the action of New York, Louisi
ana and Maryland, in establishing
workmen's compensation laws, one
half of the states in the Union nov
have such acts.
In New York and Massachusetts,
number of vacation laws for publ
employees were enacted. Alaska es
tablished an eight-hour day on publ
works.
Congress passed the Clayton ant
trust bill, while Louisiana and Masst
chusetts protected workmen in thei
right to organize.
New York, Maryland and Louisian
made provisions for public emplo.
ment bureaus. In Washington tn
private employment agencies are TO
hidden to take fees from applicant
, for work.
Five states and Congress legislate
to provide minimum working week
for women, while other states r
duced the existing minimum sti
further.

APPEAL" rs RIGHT

Some fussy official of the Socialist
party has demanded OF the appeal" a
list of its subscribers in his state
The appeal" refused. Now the "of-
ficiap is vindictive and wants to have
this magnificent engine of education
and agitation "boycotted." Piffle! If
not worse. The spoilt darling should
go ahead and develop his plans and
purposes-if he has any-on his own
resources, and not try to act as a
parasite on the foundation laboriously
laid by the efficient builders of the
appeal to Reason"

NO MONOPOLY IN SCIENCE

A writer in the New Republic
which of the warning nations is SUI
preme in science is founded on mis-
conception, since scientific discoveries
are never wholly the product of one
man or one country. Newton" he
writes, "did not create the law of
gravitation out of nothing. The Ger
man Kepler had derived the law for
planetary motions; Calico, the Ital-
ian, had discovered the law for the
velocity of falling body; and Huy-
gems, Dutchman, Independently
solved the problem of several bodies
affecting one another's motions. Ger
man and English scientists-Helm-
holtz, Mayer, Joule, Kelvin-share the
honor of establishing the principle
that energy can be transformed but
never destroyed; but according to an
impartial German historian Of physics,
Prof Ernst Mach, the browning glory
Of the achievement belongs to a
French predecessor of all of them,
Sadi Carnot. Evolution is popularity
associated with the name of Darwin;
but Darwin had for his precursor the
Frenchman Lamarck, for his most ar
dent follower the German Haeckel
The problem of heredity was first
seriously preached by the German
the discovery of the Austrian monk,
and evolution by leaps rather than by
gradual variation was postulated by
the Dutch botanist De Vries."

The Germ of Economic Freedom and
Democracy Existed Before
Slavery Began.

Extract from debate on Dem
ocracy" and Scientific Socialism,
In conclusion we will revert back
to primitive society, or rather So
CIETIES, as groups were isolated
from each other in primitive times
and each was society unto itself,
having little, If any, inter-relation
with other groups. One group was
foreign" to other groups and very
likely hostile.
We witness the relic Of this condi-
ton lingering up to this day in the
different nationalities, or nations"
which, however, are slowly but surely
becoming inter-related to such an ex-
tent that we are headed toward a
single world society. This is made
possible by material, or economic,
conditions such as the giant machin.
cry of production, rapid Transports
ton and communication.
/ will here make two or three brief
quotations from Morgan's Ancient
Society" Morgan spent forty years
of scientific research in getting facts
He lived in and among the Indiar
tribes and studied their social organ
izations. His work is a work of sci
ence which rivals Marx
Although Morgan was not a Social
list, he arrived at practically the sam,
conclusions as Marx and Engels re
garding the law Of economic deter
minism.
On page 81 of Ancient Society
Morgan writes:
"The first and most ancient was
social organization founded upol
gentes, phratries and tribes.
1.-THE second and latest in time wa
a political organization founded upo
territory and upon property.
"The two plans were fundamental
different. One belongs to ancient sc
ciety and the other to modern"
On page 70 he writes concerning
the right of deposing the sachem

and chiefs in the Iroquois tribes, as
follows:
Through the existence and occa-
sional exercise of this power the su-
premacy of the gentiles over their
sachems and chiefs was asserted and
preserved. 1t also reveals the demo-
cratic constitution of the gems"
On page 222 he writes concerning
the Grecian gems of antiquity:
"The people were free and their in
situations democratical."
The democracy of the ancients was
necessarily crude, but adapted to the
then existing economic conditions.
They owned the land collectively.
They had equal voice in social affairs
which carried with it majority rule"
They undoubtedly practised "co-opera-
ton" There WE'RE NO CLASSES.
But time came when one tribe,
or society, in order to survive, fought
and conquered another Subjugation
began here. Glasses had their birth
here. Master and slave became es-
tablished and exists to this day.
! Subjugation destroyed the primitive
democracy because classes were
brought about in society through the
merging of the CONQUERED with
the CONQUERORS WITH ONE
CLASS ROBBING THE OTHER
CLASS OF THE FRUITS OF IT'S
TOLL.
This teaches us that democracy
| INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY is pos
sible only when one class can no
longer exploit and rob another class
in any manner. This Is possible only
when the exploited class develops suf-

THE NEW YEAR
By CARL ULONSKA

By CARL ULONSKA
Let US resolve that in the year Of
1915 that not one day, one hour, one
moment shall pass, from the first
dawn Of the morning until the day
fades into the silent shadows of the
night, that we have not ceased to be
slaves but rebels, that we have not
struck a blow against the system that
breeds vice, crime, prostitution, mis-
cry and thousand other evils-capi-
talism, that we have not protested
against the horrors of war and strife,
that we have not worked for the
Of our own class.

SPEAK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR
ABOUT 1T

While you're talking over this vital
question of building up a strong So
cialist press in Washington, without
which any pretence Of effective or
ganization is but farce, just speak
to your neighbor about subscribing to
The Washington Socialist. Any man
of intelligence will take at least a six
months trial subscription for so cents.
Just try it and see how easy it is to
get them.
Build up your own press!

aim If this is true, then 1t Is not
very probable that we could get such
reform until such time as we attain
our ultimate aim. Therefore, why
should we worry about reforms?
And again, any reform that the
capitalists would permit us to have
they will give us without the asking
simply to put off the day of securing
our ultimate aim. If we continue to
pile up the vote for our ultimate aim
the capitalists will give us reforms
just to prevent us from reaching our
final goal
Why do the Socialists nominate
ticket and go to the trouble and ex-
pense of campaign when they must
realize that for the present in most
places at least there is but little prob
ability of electing? Because 1t gives
us an opportunity to count noses in
favor of Socialism. Because a po-
litical campaign gives us better OPP
portunity to reach the ear Of the pub
lie with our propaganda
Whilst we have the immediate de-
mands or reforms in our platform,
i, does 1t give us an opportunity to
count noses in favor of our ultimate
aim?
fear not, for the reason many may
have been influenced to vote our
ticket because OF the reforms we ad
vocate in our platform and not for the
reason OF the ultimate aim we are
striving for.
Whilst we have the immediate de
, our explaining why we have then
, there if we wish to be honest with
: ourselves and the public.
Here follows a restatement Of the
; reasons for not putting immediate de
: mands or reforms in our future plat
forms
/. Because the capitalist class will
not permit us to have any reform thai
will really help the working class any
quicker than they will let us have oul
ultimate aim.
2. Because if we do not have the
, reforms in our platform and only 9
/ clear statement of our ultimate ain
: we will know when the vote is cast
: and counted how many clear-cut So
: cialists we have in our ranks.
3. Because the capitalists, when we
begin to pile up large vote for oul
ultimate aim, will give us any reform
that they will grant, without our ask
: ing for it, just as quickly as by ask
: ing for it.
, a. Because by leaving out the re
form measures it will be clear what
} we are standing for.
/ 5. Because if we should ask for a
reform that would really benefit the
working class, that the capitalists
would grant, it would put off the day
: of the revolutionary change we are
working for.
l invite criticism of the ideas herein
advanced Let us study this matter
so that when we come to draft new
platform we will have thought out
and threshed out the ideas herein sug-
gested so that we can more quickly
and intelligently perform the task.

Thus while as militant our

humanity. The class struggle,
then, is but a means to an end
