the GLASS STRUGGLE IN
EVERETT

The struggle of the Socialist Party
of Everett for the commissionerships,
to be filled Nov. 10, Is part OF the
great worldwide class struggle.
Wage workers who prefer TO see their
bosses in control of the city govern
ment, or their bosses agents In pow
or, should vote against the one Social
list candidate whose name will appear
on the final ballot, j. NJ, sal
ter. Workers who have re-
spect for their own class, who desire
to obtain political power through their
own representatives, in order to
strengthen themselves on the Indus
trial battlefield, should vote for So
cialIsts only.
The candidate who admits himself
that he has no particular interest In
the working class as such, that he is
out to serve impartially the wealth
makers and the wealth-takers, is de-
ceiving himself, or else is knowingly
a hypocrite.
J. NJ. Salter gave the master-class
of Everett "a square DEAL" in gen.
eral way, and in accordance with the
city ordinances; but he openly and
above board favored the wealth max
ers as against the wealth takers when
ever this was possible. This is what
the Socialist party is organized for:
to educate the working class to reeog
milton Of Its own rights" and poten'
tIaI powers, to the end that they will
eventually capture the political pow
ers of every city, county, and state
in the nation for the purpose OF max
ing laws and administering them in
their own class interests, just as the
bosses are doing now for their class

HOW YOU ARE WORKED
By Fred r. Macfeely


Your boss isn't very easy with you
is he?
There are times when you feel like
throwing down your tools and quit.
ting your job. You have been worked
to the limit-almost beyond endur-
ance-and yet your employer does not
seem to be satisfied. He still wants
more out of you.
Suppose you do resign and find en-
ployment elsewhere, you are no bet
ter off. Your new boss works you
just the same-perhaps harder. Your
financial difficulties continue to grow
as before, while you are going at a
faster pace than ever.
You begin to complain and blame
your boss for his treatment Of you
and finally quit your job again and
seek another place. But you find it's
the same old story. You are still be-
ing worked to your full capacity-for
profits.
Organize to destroy the profit sys-
tenn and you'll not be worked.

SOCIALISM Is VERY
SIMPLE PROPOSITION

Socialism, after all, is a relatively
simple, definite and clear proposition.
And yet we have the amazing spec
tacle Of philosophers, writer's, think
ers and critics attempting to tell their
readers and hearers what Socialism
is.
Socialism is principle offered as
guide for political procedure in our
present social and economic condi-
tions. 1t is not a set, unalterable pro-
gram to be forced upon society. And
the principle is this: Whenever in the
development Of economic conditions,
such as the railways, mines, manu-
features, telegraph, express or the
like, these institutions reach a point
where their private ownership enables
the owner to exploit the people, then
they should be socialized publicly
owned and operated.
The final purpose of Socialism is to
eliminate from society all unearned
incomes. In order that each member
of society may have for his own that
amount of wealth which Is the result
of his own individual effort it is abso-
lutely necessary to eliminate such un-
earned incomes. The task of Social
ism, therefore, is to trace all these
unearned incomes through all the in
tricate and complex processes OF our
economic life back to their sources,
to discover the methods by which
they arise and the means by which
they may be stopped.
Now, 1t is pretty generally under
stood and admitted that unearned in
comes arise from one or another sort
of monopoly privilege. Reduced to
its last analysis, this rests upon some
form of private ownership or some
form of public utility. 1t Is the pur-
pose of Socialism to discover every
utility that gives rise to an unearned
income and when so discovered to
apply to it the principle of public own
ership and thus, by the reduction of
the cost OF the service to those who
use it and the increase of wages to
those who work upon it, gradually
eliminate the unearned incomes-Ex.

THE WORKERS ARE NEXT"
Capitalism Knows No Boundaries

They have seen that their masters
care nothing for such national lines
when they stand in the way of profits
There was never a war in which the
capitalists Of either country would
not gladly sell, for a profit, arms and
ammunition to the country with
which their own government (and ii
is their government, and not the work
ersO was at war.
These lessons have sunk deep into
the minds of a portion Of the workers
and they are therefore reaching
across these geographical and racial
boundaries and uniting into new
world power" more powerful than
any marked by custom houses and
supported by bayonets and battle
ships.

| see woman liberated from The

dream of the most hopeful idealist.

misery that brings endless mourning
unto thousands, become a place OF
peace and happiness.
A world OF brothers In which the
labor OF one Is the labor OF all; the
sorrow of one, the sorrow OF all; the
Joy of one the JOY Of all.
A world in which homelessness,
want, hunger and cold no longer stalk
like the figures OF hideous night
mare through our lives.
A world without potentates and Il.
ties; without war and destruction
without degradation and abasement.
A world wherein love has supplant.
ed hate; tenderness has displaced
greed, and light has dissipated the
darkness.
A world in which all may realize

plenty shall be the reward Of toll, and
wherein human blood and human
tears shall not be the price of life.

Slanderers: Certainly, gentlemen, that
group of our interests known as "The
Trade" may suffer by our publicity
campaign against the drunken vice
of our workmen. But think of the ad-

world into thinking that the worker,

A SIGNIFICANT FACT
ABOUT 40 PER CENT. OF SOCIAL
IST PARTY MEMBERS WERE
CONVERTED BY
PERIODICALS

Statistics complied by the National
Office revealed the fact that whereas
but seven per cent of the membership
of the Socialist Party were gained by
hall meetings and open-air speeches
thirty-nine per cent. trace their con
version to Socialism to the reading of
Socialist periodicals. This is more
than twice the number reached by
any other agency.

But the world of everyday business

islative body, and influences every ad-
ministrative act, with the insistence
of the law OF gravity. 1t is there,
whether we are conscious of 1t or
not.
But the master-class is protected
against any serious encroachment on
its special privileges by working-class
officials.
The master class have made the
laws in their own interests, and have
written strong propertied-class state
and national constitutions to protect
them against harm from representa-
tives of the workers. No Socialist Of
ficials could do very much to lessen
the burdens OF labor whilst these cap
itaIfst-ciass laws are In force. For
the Socialist officials must actually
enforce these laws until the majority
see fit to abrosate them, and enact
laws In their own interest.
So the capitalist class is always
represented, even when the officials
are Socialists. The laws are there to
represent ruIing-cIass interests.
But in case Socialists are elected,
and seated, the workers will then
have representation too, even though
their officials are hampered by CAPT
talist-class laws.
Where no Socialists are elected to
office. the workers have not even the
semblance Of representation.
The politician who says he is going
to represent "all the people," impair
TALLY, If elected, either does not know
what he is talking about, or else he
is a humbug. There are times when
he must interpret the laws in favor of
one class or the other, and he will
act according to his natural bias, or
as he thinks will pay him best-so-
cially or politically.
We workers have no power that we
can afford to donate to the bosses.
They have power enough already to
ruin the human race, to- destroy civil
cation, a task in which they are at
present busily engaged, the world
over.
There is no hope for humanity left
but the conquest of political and In.
dustriaI power by the working class.
II we workers fail to unite in this
worldwide movement for labor s
emancipation from capitalist class
domination, the present civilization is
doomed, and the future holds for the
workers only death or unspeakable
degradation.
Every Socialist vote cast in the
world is step away from darkness,
misery, and death, step toward light,
Joy, plenty, and brotherhood.
Remember Edwin Markham's song:
"The crest and browning of all good,
Lies final star, is brotherhood.
For it will bring again to earth
Her long lost poesy and mirth,
Will send new light on every face,
A kingly power upon the race,
And till it comes we men are slaves
And travel down to dust of graves, "

at Vienna was instructed by cable
to ask the Austro-Hungarian foreign
office for statement in detail of the
circumstances of the torpedoing of
the Italian liner Ancona in the Med.
iterranean with loss of several
American lives.
This action was taken upon the
presentation by the Austrian en-
bassy here to Secretary Lansing Of a
communication from Vienna.
1t says the Ancona was shelled by
an Austrian submarine while trying to
escape, but that when she stopped
forty-five minutes was allowed for the
passengers and crew to get into small
boats, a torpedo being fired only
when another ship appeared in re-
sponse to a summons by wireless from
the Ancona.
Ambassador Penfield was sent what
is known as an informal instruction
to discuss the case orally with Off
cials of the Austrian government to
obtain details supplementary to those
transmitted by the embassy. The un.
determined points on which the
American government now seeks in
formation are:
Did the submarine fire warning
shot?
Did the submarine cease firing when
the Ancona came to a stop?
How much time was given passen-
gers and crew to get into the life

What were the activities of the sub
marine while the ship was unloading
its passengers?
Was IA torpedo fired while any or
