Thanksgiving In cromweIps Day.

That Thanksgiving day was 2OC

the following passage:
For Hudibras who thought he 'ad won

Thanksgiving day among the churches.
Thus wrote Butler. in 1861, during
Oliver Cromwell's tenure of power, and
it clearly proves that at a time when
the observance of the day was but
just beginning TO be regularly kept in
this country, the English recognized
the day very generally as one of joy
and feasting.

Thanksgiving day. 1860, was a memo

many a pulpit that day fell a warning
that abnegation before God was more

prevail that President Buchanan was

THE TRUE THANKSGIVING.
BY Rev. DR.. JOSEPH KRAUsKoPF of
Philadelphia.

II Is well that our fathers in
stituted the day of Thanksgiv-
ing on which to be made con-
scious of the countless blessings
that surrounded them and of
their many obligations to rem
der praise and thanksgiving to
the author Of them all. In re-
turn for Gods mercy we should
think of those in our midst not
90 blessed as we and give them
also opportunity for being
thankful and for rejoicing. The
truly grateful feels that God
does not lavish his blessings
upon the earth so that a few
may enjoy a great abundance
while others live in want. II is
wrong for one to enjoy the feast
and for another to endure the
fast.
The truest Joy is that which
springs from bringing JOY to
others. The truest gratitude is
in that act which gives to others
the opportunity for being CRATE
full. The truest wealth is that
which kindness stores up in the
heart Of the sorrowing and suf-
fering. Our nobIest acquisitions
live only in U charity.

WHAT HOPE is THERE FOR THE AMERICAN MAN
AND WOMAN WHO LABORS?

that the L w. w. divides the society
of today into two broad classical
tons the employing class ON ONE
HAND and the working class ON
THE OTHER!
To put our panacea into effect we
may resort to various things-the
strike, for instance! This involves
the withdrawing Of the labor power
from the establishment in question,
or from the ENTIRE industry in
question,
Second, we might use sabotage"
this involves the slowing up of pro-
duction in factory by the workers,
the turning out of poor work-in
fact, the interference with the pro-
cess of production so as to destroy
any possible chance for revenue or
profit accruing to the owners from
that particular industry or mill.
If the DESTRUCTION OF PROP
ERTY would gain the point for the
workers involved, we would consider
it reasonable The fact that PROP
ERTY would be DESTROYED would
not have ANYTHING to do with de-
termining whether we adopted a GER
tain plan or not!
EXACTLY the SAME reasoning
applies to PERSONS human be-
ings!
The employers, as a class, are not
at all particular whether they injure
our property or not. THEY take US
into the mills before we are able
before we have even a semblance of
an education, and they grind up OUR
VITALITY, OUR BRAIN AND OUR
MUSCLE into THEIR PROFITS, and
whenever WE cannot keep pace with
the machine, speeded to the highest
notch, they turn US out onto the road
to exc out an existence as best we
can or wind up on the poor farm or
in Potter's field. And we think what
is good for the employing class is

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 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

that the result of their efforts-the
WEALTH PRODUCED BY THEM
and by THEIR COLLECTIVE Eff
FORSYTH accrue to those who
are responsible for its 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 a manner that it will be pos
sible for them, through their organ
ization, to CONTROL THE LABOR
POWER-which is simply THEIR
