RICH TO PAY COST OF WAR.

Executive committee of the Italian
Socialist party held a meeting at
Rome and acted on three important
propositions. The first was to pledge
the party to use every means possible
to compel the rich to defray all ex-
penses of the present war; secondly,
the German Socialists were appealed
to to adopt the Liebknecht policy and
begin an attack upon the governments
war policy; third, it was voted to call
an international congress to begin a
worldwide campaign against war, now
and in the future.

Withholding their consent This priv,

men are fools enough to enlist they
can do so. Every male citizen is
eligible for military service, as in
this country, but they could dodge the

SIS clause has been vetoed and every
son of a gun must now shoulder a
rifle when the patriots" give the
word.

MUST SALUTE FLAG, CHIEF SAYS

Chief of Police c.. e. Snively of Los
Angeles has issued an order that all
police officers must salute the flag, no
matter how often they may be in its
presence. His reasons are:
"a military salute takes but a sec
ond's time, does not deter from your
duty and is a sign of respect that is
appreciated by everyone who may wit
ness your sign of loyalty. You will
at the same time be setting an uplift-
ing example for Young America

dictment is really brought against
Glockel for opposing the war, but the
ruling class dared not charge him with
treason for fear of increasing the
growing rebellious spirit among the
workers.

Historical and Economic Basis
of Scientific Socialism
From the Manifesto of the Socialist Party of Canada-Pat

standpoint of capital. The opportun-
lity is thereby furnished to feed it's
appetite with those choice selections
that render the largest stream of the
juicy and succulent profit.
1t should always be kept in mind
that capital is any form of property
used for the purpose of making a
profit out Of labor.
LABOR.
| The resources of the earth cannot
be converted into form disable by man
except by labor. The conversion of
the resources of the earth into things
disable by man is termed wealth That
portion of human society which per-
forms the labor required to produce
the things necessary to the life of
the race and the prolongation of it's
existence is the only useful part of it.
| 1t is the working class alone that
makes even the miserable civilization
of today possible, as it is the working
class that carries the burden of it's
support upon its back. The working
class is the only part of human So
ciety that society cannot get along
without.
The position of Labor under the
present system of capitalist property
is not an enviable one to be occupied
by SO important a factor. Labor
power, or the power to labor is mere
ly an article of merchandise, a ware,
commodity to be bought and sold in
the market like sausage, tripe, spit
toons or coon skins. Possessing no
ownership or control of the means of
production, access to which he must
have in order to live, the worker must
sell his commodity to some employer.
The more complete the development
| of Capital, the more glutted the con-
dition of the labor market The more
pronounced this condition, the keener
and fiercer becomes the competition
for jobs among the workers. AS a re-
suit the price Of labor power (wages)
| is inevitably forced down closer and
closer to the bare cost of subsistence.
In the face of these adverse conditions
of the market, the wage cannot be
| forced up
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1915-08-19
CAPITALIST PRODUCTION

The essential characteristic of
wealth production under the present
system is that of profit. This is mere
| ly another form of getting something
for nothing. 1t is self-evident that
something cannot be obtained fol-
nothing without some one getting the
worst of the deal. Capitalist produc-
ton will be speeded up to the utmost
limit, so long as profit can be real.
lied The motive lying behind it is
not the production of use value, but
of exchange value. No matter how
urgent the need of any given thing,
it's production under capitalism must
cease when profit can no longer be
obtained through it's production and
sale. The matter of sale is, of course,
incidental to the process of profit
getting.
Fully developed capitalism implies
the capitalization of the means of
wealth production, and production for
profit.
CAPITAL
If clear understanding Of what the
lreal meaning of capital is were first
obtained, much confusion might be
avoided in dealing with the problems
that are continually arising under its
rule.
Capital is a term applied to the
means of wealth production under GER
tain circumstances only. A mill, mine,
factory, land, etc, may or may not be
capital. Operated exclusively by the
labor of the owners these things
would not be capital. They would be
merely things for use, owned and op-
Grated by the same persons. No proi.
lit would accrue to the owners from
Isuch operation. AS the articles pro
duced would contain only their own
labor it is clear that they could not
obtain, something for nothing. If, how
ever, these mills, mines, etc, be own
leu ny Oll0 lHdN VI SET Vi men anu Up
Grated by another man or set of men
who labor power is purchased as a
commodity in the market, they take on
the character of capital, and so func-
ltion as long as the goods or wares
produced realize a price in excess of
the sum paid for the labor power pur-
chased With full-fledged capital the
labor of the owner is no longer ex-
pended in the matter of wealth pro
duction. This is entirely carried on
! by hired labor. Capital then becomes
merely a means of exploiting or max
ing a profit out of labor. 1t is need
less to say that this labor is not fur
nished by the owners of capital.
Capital feeds upon wage labor The
labor market is it's legitimate feeding
ground. As capital develops and be,
comes more completely concentrated
in the hands of the few giant cor
porations, the greater becomes the
number of those who are forced to sell
their labor power to prolong their ex
istence. The more fully stocked with
labor the market becomes the mora
satisfactory the situation from the

Not wishing to display indifference we
inquired concerning the nature of the
motion and were gruffly, informed that
the same was not motion but an
article appearing in one of our
esteemed eastern contemporaries UNI

we were told after tactful questioning,
was that our Technology must be
reprinted and redecorated. Com. Mrs.
Russell proposed to scrape off all the
red paint and cover it with a coat of
hue more popular around Chicago,
The object of this was to make So

past associations, cling tenaciously to
old labels, and were consequently
much wrought up over the proposed

NO CAUSE FOR GLOOM.

However, we are unable to discern
cause for gloom. Having a keen in
sight into the logic of things we were
convinced that our terms should have
been overhauled long ago and became
an advocate of the idea at once.
Such terms as "ciass struggle" and
"class consciousness" should be
tabooed in Socialist circles. They
are out of date They smack of the
days of dingy S. L. P. reading rooms
when the CONS. wore whiskers but no
neckties and their trousers bagged at
the knee. Some we understand, even
had egg stains on their shirt fronts.
OF course such "class" terms were
quite proper then because the CONS.
were in class by themselves. No
one else took any stock in Socialism.
Since then times have changed.
When we pointed these facts out
several of the CONS. became quite per-
sonal and demanded to know if they
theory. Not desiring to offend him in
the wrong we held our peace.
CONS. Not Posted.
The CONS, however, are not posted
on the history of great movements.
Truth is generally the hobby of any
organization while it is young. Truth,
itself, being usually crude and I'M
polished, the organization has nothing
to lose by unfolding it. Our organiza-
ton has long since passed beyond the
stage of the unkempt hair and baggy
trousers. We have become respec-
table. So we agree with Com. Russell
that if it be necessary to cling to our
Anticipated theories and dogmas we
should at least cover them with re-
! fined names
