See the battle raging. Come with me and observe
the world wide drama said Professor laCome Of Ok

TIE WAR OF THE WORKERS. See the CLASSY eye
OF the slaves the dash for superiority the struggle for
existence in the limited territory assigned to them by
their industrial masters See the making indvd

workers IN ebellion-yes down to the restaurant
workers Blu. class One class does not recog

cannot see outside their own class nteresta And thus
the goes on.
look into the CLASSY eye OF you slaves and ask
the reason for all this have your very hearts,
inspected all your internal and external organs and have
eraped puny bones search Of the microbes OF this
class hatred and class and the only find
Is your self assumed superior,y-a deuson fo.,ered
your brains by your masters that you and your little
class price value than any other portion
OF humanity.
must remind you OF the fact that congressional
statistics that the physical valuation of each mans
labor production is $3.50 per day. Yet here you
struggling tor measy existence on starvation wages
Here fighting to establish your superiority
other classes of workers. your only ambition consisting of
desire to get more than the other fellow. thus. you
are not getting anything. and you will approach
the $3.50 basis until you concede all other workers
equal right to this wage. You never make healthy
start towards this end until you embrace the principle Of
equality and recognize the fact that regardless Of
what kind OF tools work with. you part of the
human family and that your existence is OF sig

have mastered this law OF equality you will be able
to inausurate revolution and establish your rights.
Just in the OF your progentors when they gained
produce because YOU CAN TAKE 1T. The rights Of
the what they maintain and the rights
of the slaves lesa
Your jurisdctional fights o what tools you may
work with the line Of demarca between your work
and that Of your fellow worker but natural result
OF the segregation and of the workers Such
system is indispensable to your for thus they
keep you fighting among yourselves boundary lines
and the cent per hour in wages that you
have because your fellow worker your nferor-be-
you work underground in the bowels of the earth
and the other fellow does not-because in your work
you must handle intricate and polished tools and the
other fellow does And thu. the war goes on.
When you ready to strike balance and
sider the other fellow equal the classes will be
ready Tor mass organization When you realize
that consider yourself class by yourself only
retard progress and that Of all other workers.
when you that such belief is essential the sue
of the owning class-hen there will be change for
the better and real progress will be made.
When the workers get together they must win for
they will be powerful enough to win But they will
become sufficiently organized until they establish basis
OF equality Then. like those who established equal
suffrage in the early days. THEY WILL CONQUER and
thus there will have been fought the last war of the
workers
