TYRANNY OF THE CHECK.OFF"

TYRANNY OF THE CHECK.OFF"
The "check-ofr' means that all
dues, fines. assessments and fees,
which the organization secs fit to
levy against its members. shall by
the operator be deducted from the
earnings of all workmen and remit
ted to the organization before any
payments are made to the employees
by the mining company.
These checks frequently run high
and dissatisfy the miners. No mat
ter what their dissatisfaction, the
deduction must be made just the
same. Neither sickness nor unusual
requirements or needs of a miners
family will permit the mine manag-
er to take care of the miners wants
without first remitting to the organ
ization the dues and assessments
which may have been levied.
The following is a clause in the
proposed scale demand of the United
Mine Workers:
ut shall be condition of employ
ment that all men working in and
around the mines shall be members
of the U. M. w. Of A., and all COM
panies to this agreement shall col
lect from their employees 2 per cent
Of the gross earnings Of all day men
and 8 per cent Of the gross earnings
of all miners. which shall have pref
erence over all other collections, and
turn over to the authorized agents
all such monies after being notified
by the miners organization"

a peculiar feature OF the Uhittd

distinguishes 1t from all other un'
ions, is that in all mines where its
regime is "recogniZed' the operator
must agree (a) that members OF that
union must receive first choice of all

receive their wages, deduction must
be made of whatever union dues or

called the "check-off."

GROWTH OF SOCIALIST VOTE
FORCES CONCESSIONS.
Eugene v. Debs,


As the strength of Socialism in
creases and Is registered through the
party vote the economic condition of
workingmen is improved by ameliora-
tive legislation forced from capital
ism through fear This is true of all
countries where Socialism has be
come an organized political force,
and 1t will be true here.
Remember that the Socialist party
proposes, not to reform the capitalist
system. but to abolish it. BY the
magic Of private property the capital
list has acquired ownership of the
tools and materials OF wealth pro-
duction. He has obtained possession
OF the instruments which the laborer
must use In order to obtain the means
OF life. BY reason Of this ownership
the capitalist draws to himself wholly
without labor and by the mere right
Of ownership, as II lie legally recos-
nized, the whole product of the work.
ingman's industry, save barely enough
to support his existence, which Is
returned to him In the name of
wages.
Under this system the whole prod
uct of industry belongs to the capital
list; all that the laborer can claim is
his contract wages, which are deter.
mined by laws of competition over
which he has no control, and which
according to the economic statement
and the demonstration of actual facts
always tend to the minimum that will
| support existence at the workers &C
customed standard of living.
Under capitalism the worker builds
a palace and lives in a howell; weaves
the finest fabrics and clothes himself
in shoddy or in rags; makes fine
shoes and wears the coarsest bro
gans; produces elegant silk hats and
wears a fustian cap; builds luxurious
carriages and breeds fine horses to
draw them and then walks; extracts
fuel from the earth, where a benefi
cent creator has placed it for the use
of all His children, and freezes for
the lack of it; in short, he produces
everything and enjoys nothing. The
entire product of his ingenuity and
his industry flows into the possession
of the capitalist class as the price OF
permission to labor for bare exist
ence.
