AN EVIL FORM OF sCABBERY

(By a Class-Conscious Wage Slave)
Let us quit our scabbing! Especial.
ly the forms OF scabbing that hurt
most. The capitalist press is used by
the master class for the purpose OF
keeping the toilers in ignorance. and
also to mould public opinion against
the political and Industrial movements
of the working class.
These papers engage in a conspiracy
of silence, or else they distort the
news, when the criminals belong to
the capitalist class. But when any
member of the working class makes
false step, the masters papers make
sure that every one in the country
knows of it.
Now, brothers, WHY, OH WHY, do
you support the masters press, when
you know it is used as weapon to
injure our own class interests? WHY
DO YOU DO IT?
Some people (who are not we'll post.
ed on the class struggled say eve
must take the capitalist papers to get
the news!" To you who think this
way, let me say, are you going to con.
tinue to take papers just to get the
news that is misleading? After read
ing the capitalist dailies, you don't
know what you have got so far as the
truth is concerned, for you have too
often learned afterwards that the
by the facts of the case, so what do
you gain by reading news of the va.
riety on which you cannot depend? II
you would give the same amount OF
support to the Socialist and Labor pa.
pers they would soon be able to give
as much news as the present capitalist
daiIies and far more reliable.
Whenever you subscribe to a CAPT
talist paper you simply furnish the
ammunition with which the enemy
crushes the cause of labor. And thus
you act the part of a traitor to the
cause of your own class. In effect,
your action of supporting the capital
list press does more injury to you and
your own class than the act of taking
strikers place, which is commonly
called scabbing. Remember that the
class struggle is continuous, and will
continue as long as you furnish the
ammunition to your enemy and, until
the profit system is overthrown and
replaced by a COOPERATIVE COM
MONWEALTH.
1t is, therefore, quite plain and logi-
cal that any member of the working
class who supports the capitalist pa
pers acts the part of scab and traitor
to himself and his own class. That
is next to voting the capitalist tick
ets) the worst kind of scabbing.
Brothers, let us all discontinue such
actions. Take our support away from
the enemy's press and give it to the
Socialist and Labor papers. By that
action we down our foe and at the
same time raise ourselves. Then you
will see the circulation of the capital
list papers take a sudden drop, and
their power to do us harm correspond

IN THE FULLNEss OF TIME

How long?" The cry goes echolng
around the earth. Wherever the hope
of the new order is awaklng in the
breasts of the tolling and enslaved
There is but one answer. On the full.
ness of time"
Through ages of battle and murder
debauchery and ensiavement. toii and
misery. famine and pestilence, the SO.
luton of the economic problem has
been working out, not by the wit of
man, but through causes unseen and
unrecognized, but ever felt. Millions
have wept and sweated and starved
and frozen. Unheeding them, cold. re.
lentless, silent, those forces work on.
And they shall heed our poor cry.
Pressed onward by forces over
which it has no control, capital is
marching to its doom. It must have
profits and more profits. To obtain
profits II must employ workers to
create wealth. To realize the profits
1t must market this wealth. To mar
ket II, II must create 1t more and
more cheaply. II must exploit the
workers more and more intensely. 1t
must create greater and greater pow

create and intensity the unrest it must
suppress.
And the handwriting is on the wall.
The vision Of the European slaugh.
ter, with its millions of dead and
dying, the shattered homes, the
crippled, the widows and orphans
seems to show us that the revolution
is at hand.
The vision of the European Social
lists who a short time ago sprang at
one another's throat at the command
of masters. but who are even now
gathering their forces together for
an onslaught onto the real enemy
seems to show us that they have
learned their lesson and that capital
ism must go.
The vision of the misery and wretch
edness of the mighty unemployed
would seem to show us that the time
of revolution had even now gone past.
To hear the tales of the poor, of their
want, of their terror, of their grief,
to witness their degradation, to see
the reality of their blind and awful
despair; these things might tell us
that their hope for victory was small,
were it not that we know of a force
ever impelling it on
The social atmosphere is even now
surcharged with the electricity of the
coming storm. The discomfort and
unrest in the ranks of labor, the grow
ing spirit of revolt and the increasing
political activity of the workers, are
the electric flashes along the horizon
presaging its rapid approach. The
frenzied efforts of the state to repress
and of the church to exercise it, goes
to show that our brutal rulers and
their canting apoligists realize that
their doom is sealed with the coming
revolutionary storm
The storm is brewing. Come it
will; come it must And whether it
comes like the balmy breeze of an
April shower, or with the hurricane

been a most successful craft in the
phosphate rock trade from Florida to

Work on the new craft will be started
at once and she will be ready for serv-
ice next spring. The Deering Company
now has on the stocks at Bath a LOO
ton schooner which will also be ready
for service in the spring.
The demand for sailing craft of all
kinds is daily becoming stronger, and

of which were thought to be numbered.

carrying cargoes to all ports in the
world. The demand for tonnage has
given impetus to shipbuilding, and sail
and steam power vessels are being con-
structed in shipyards all over the coun-
try.

Dangerous Jitney Crowding.

To the Editor of The Star:
There has been good deal published
| recently about the crowdinS of the To-
cal street cars, but we do not see any
complaint about this respecting some
of the jitneys, although the crowdng
of the latter is very dangerous. There
is one jitney line which operates from
18th street and Park road northwest to
9Th street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest. The cars on this line are
of light type, intended for four or
five persons. yet it is not uncommon to
see as many as eight or nine persons
on one car. In order to accommodate
SO many 1t is necessary for two to sit
on the front seat, four to crowd onto
the rear seat and two or more others to
stand on the running boards or sit on
the tops of the doors. There is an
other line operating from Sth street
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest
which runs on Pennsylvania avenue
and 18th street as a part of its route.
This line is using a light running gear
on which is mounted small bus body,
into which nine or ten persons some
times crowd. AS one who has had oc-
casion to observe these jitneys, the
question that naturally arises is What
protection is there afforded the passen-
gers in case of accident? When
these cars are carrying about nine
adults of average weight there cannot
be much more than a pound and half
VI 'ehiS4e loI edCH pound OIL passed.
gers.
The public utilities commission would
not approve street car that did not
have sufficient weight to give ii the
necessary strength adequately to pro-
tect its passengers, and regulates them
closely. yet the commission seemingly
refuses to make any requirements as to
safety and comfort with respect to the
jitneys
AS the jitneys have taken the place
of the defunct 10Th street Metropolitan
Coach Company. which was regulated
asa common carrier there seems to he
no good reason why they should not be
clasSed likewise so as to insure rea-
sonable security and comfort to the
passengers. j. F. SMITH

WANDERLUSTERS EAGER
FOR BLUE RIDGE HIKE
Look Forward to Labor Day and an
Outing in the
Mountains.

Ever since last September many OF
the 1874 mixers who participated in the
Bluemont trip have been looking for
ward to another all-day outing among
the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia.
Labor day, September 6, is the day to
which a large number look forward as
the trip par excellence" according to
the leaders. In addition to a visit to
Bears Den, where an excellent view
rewards the climb, the leaders hope to
add several other features to make the
walk different from last year.
G.. A. Gambs will be chief leader and
a number of assistants to help take
care of the crowd are to be named
also. 1t is hoped to accommodate as
far as possible the different classes of
walkers. as well as providing for those
who are satisfied with walk of four
to five miles and those who want ten
miles or more. The trip is to start at
o o'clock.
One of the party in describing the
trip of last year said, in part, as fol-
lows
"Of course. our party-our particular
group-was with the stragglers. Like
wise we had failed to obey instructions
had taken time by the forelock, how
ever, and ordered dinner for eight at
one of the hotels. Best of all, we were
expected, and happily sat down to
real old-fashioned chicken dinner, to
which. as genuine wanderlusters, we
did ample justice.
Thus fortified, though a bit tardy.
we were ready for the mountain climb
While We missed the jolly crowd which
had gone ahead. We enjoyed the walk,
stopping to enjoy the view or rest oc-
casionally.

wire fence, or tripped lightly over
helped by generous hands. After we
left the road where fruit trees and per-
simmons and mountain berries grew
We, struck shady though rougher
beautiful Shenandoah valley met our
gaze. In fancy We pictured Sheridan
on his famous ride twenty miles away"

possible, as he Is making the arrange
ments for the trip.

Protest Against Bird Shooting.

To the Editor of The Star:
Our police department is hardly sum-
Gent for the protection of the good cit
liens of the District: and I protest
against the use of the force for the
convenience of people who are engaged
IN the cruel sport of shooting little
birds.
Reference is had to the article in The
Star of August 10, describing the ap-
preaching open season for murder of
defenSelesS birds. Bull-fighting is not
as bad, because the bull has some
chance to fight back, ze-hghting is
not half SO bad, because there we have
two very undesirable citizens fighting
one another. If both of these should
be killed the world would be better Off
