IT IS MAY DAY"
(By Seymour Stedman)

May Day is the most salient and
significant of all days selected by man
for the purpose of celebrating from
the beginning of time.
Christmas is celebrated upon diff
ferent days, in different lands and
New Years at different times, but
May Day is as international and uni
vershal as the class conscious toiler.
ut is May Day" that bespeakes the
international character of the workers
hopes and proclaims his inter-racial
solidarity This day the workers
come, not with bent heads and prayers
for forgiveness, confessing sins, but
in the pride of conscious strength and
growing power, censuring and accus-
ing the british masters whose system
breeds coarseness and makes for pain
and death.
On this day the Universal Workers
raise their standard up to the stars,
and in unity march on with purpose
to be realized-the revolutionizing of
the worlds process of production,
that there may mature race in the
glow of creation, binding to those
who find existence tolerable only in
the shadows of this civilization of cap
italist tyrants.

4 SONS OF UNIFIED LABOR

tBy f. Finstorhachl
Today we meet TO celebrate
Another year 81 toll
The hands that SOW, the hands that
reap,
The hands that till the soil:
The hands that fashion, frame and
mold
The wares Of shop and mill;
The hands that delve beneath the sod
With shovel, pick and drill:
The hands that carry forth the fruits
OF industry and skill;
That speed the trains, that spread
the sails
For ocean breeze to fill
Now pause to send this message forth.
This message free and bold
As labor must create all wealth.
All wealth shall labor hold.
Unite the east; unite the west!
Unite from shore to shore.
Unite the north; Unite the south,
Unite the wide world DER!
Unite. for we have naught to loose
Save the oppressor's chain:
Unite! unite, nor shrink, nor pause,
We have world to gain.

NO EXCUSE
FOR HARD TIMES
(By Eugene v. Debs)

There is absolutely no excuse for
hard times in the United States. We
are at the very center Of fabulous and
inexhaustible< riches, enough for all
and an hundred times more, and in
the very midst of these we are unable
to feed and clothe and shelter our
selves, and we present a spectacle
tragic enough to make stone images
to shed tears.
At this very time, A. d. 1915, the
times are harder than they have ever
been In all the hundred and thirty-nine
years of our national existance.
The fact that capitalism has col
iapsed and that the political state OF
capitalism paralyzed, except in the
function of creating bogus issues over
which to humbug the people and keep
them divided and fighting sham bat
ties while they are being bled by the
vampires that have seized upon the
nations industries, and "ontrol the
government with no other object in
view than to perpetuate their own
plutocratic piracy and keep the people
In poverty and subsection.
The Times Are Hard Only Because
the People Are Soft.
Socialism makes it clear as the
MONDAY sun why the times are hard
whether the Republican or Democratic
party is in power, and whether
Roosevelt, Taft or Wilson occupies
the executive seat at Washington.
Socialism proposes that the indus
tries of the nation shall be taken over
nv the nation and operated by the nat
ion for the benefit of the whole peo-
pie; when this done, we will never
again know theb light and curse OF
hard times.

NATIONALISM
CAUSES WAR

BOSTON.-"The cause of this war
and of all wars is an exaggerated self
ish nationalism," declared Prof. Char
les P. Fagnani, in a speech in this city.
ut is the national domineering spir-
1t that has caused all the wars of his
tory-a predatory nationalism," con-
tinued the speaker.
Every political power vested in a
king or an emperor-that has ruled
or is ruled-has set up as an idol the
political state, that is all powerful and
that cannot do wrong. 1t is symbolic
ed In these days by some beast or bird
OF prey with talons or claws. Today
nationalism stands forth before the
world in all its unclean possibilities Of
destruction. Nationalism is fast be-
coming an anchronism, and the spirit
of internationalism grows every day.

FALL into LINE!
(6y Ralph korngold)

'rhe first of May is International
Labor Day.
On that day the working classes all
over the world pauses to review its
batallions. to take stock of its victor
les and defeats, to gain fresh inspira-
ton for the struggle yet to come.
The past year has been replete with
the most bitter lessons for the Amer
lean labor movement. The happen
ings in Colorado and Michigan, de-
plorable as they are, have served a
useful purpose. They have served to
impress upon the minds of the
American workers the fact that in the
United States, no less than in Europe,
the capitalist class and the capitalist
state are its bitter and uncompromis-
ing enemies, that the honeyed words
Of the politicians are so much chaff
when the Issue of profits is at stake.
During the past twelve months the
chasm between the workers and the
capitalists in the United States has
perceptibly widened. One hears ever
less Of the twaddle about identity of
interests, and ever more condemnation
Of the compromising and fawning at
titude of some labor union officials
At the same time we are drawing
closer to the labor movement of the
rest of the civilized world.
A Labor Day ordained by the
capitalist state, with capitalist poll
ticians to serve as our mentors, be-
comes less and less to our liking; the
international holiday of labor with its
vision Of hope, its bold spirit of de-
fiance, is becoming more and more
our labor day.
Fall into line, Comrades, fall into
line!

NEARLY SIX MILLION
MEN LOST OF WAR

PARIS, Apil 18.-The total loss OF
men by all nations at war during the
first eight months numbers 5,95o,0oo
according to figures compiled for the
Aventi, Socialist paper in Rome. The
amount OF money spent during the
first six months is estimated at So
400, 600, 900. The same article calcu-
lates that nine or ten months more
will exhaust the reserves of men, and
that the sountry which will suffer
least from this exhaustion will be Rus

SOCIALISM
WON'T WORK"
(By II. w. watts)

Under the rule of capital the tools
OF production have grown so powerful
that they can, at the most, be used
but part of the time; for the reason
that wages of the workers can pur
chase but small portion of the out
put. Though they are q gIuttonish
and extravagant lot OF bric-a- brac, the
capitalists and their prasitical re
tainers, cannot consume the things
the workers produce. Consequently Q
considerable portion of industry must
shut down. Everything goes on the
bum" as the saying Is.
The critics OF Socialism are fond OF
showing up it's "impracticability'
and explaining how 1t wouldn't
work" And the wage-workers sit up
on their hindquarters like prairie dogs
and bark In unison against threatened
application to the life OF the nation OF
principle Of economics that would
not work" And when their bellies
ache with longing for the grub that
seldom comes, they never seem to
realize that pain Is the result of the
continuous application of principle
Of bourgeois political economy that
neved did and never can work out to
the satisfaction of human needs. No.
not even as far as the actual necessar-
les of life are concerned, to say moth
ing of anything beyond that.
Bourgeois Teaching
The Socialist philosophy should be
Stunned as pestilence. 1t stands to
reason that all the people would i'm.
mediately starve to death If they had
unrestricted access to the means OF
production, for the purpose of satisfy
Ing their hunger! Let us stick to good
old capitalism under whose beneficient
sway fully half, or perhaps two-thirds
OF us, can hope for little more than
the barest living. What If hundreds
OF thousands of little children 60 to
school and bed hungry? What il
thousands toll in the mills and the
mines while big husky men tramp the
streets In search OF work? What II
hundreds of thousands of women sell
their bodies on the streets! Isn't 1t
better to stay with these things than
to try something that would not
work?" Sure, Mike. Let us refrain
from innovations and experiments. Let
us cling tenaciously to what we have
been used to for centuries, even tho
we average not more than one meal a
day, and can never hope to have COM
Portable homes wherein we can live in
peace and security, and feed our child
rem and keep our women folks out of
the red light districts; let us have
worry and want rather than follow
false gods into the wilderness of "im-
probability and disaster" The scant
meal day in a rented shack, or
tramping the road for work under cap
italism, is better than free access to
land and machinery, abundant wealth
and enjoyment under system that
wouldn't work"
See that you don't vote for anything
else than the continuation Of the pres
ent system Of wealth production at the
next election.

TIVE STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE

very common cause. And the remedy
is to take away the cause. The cause
OF the struggle Ia that those who
work do not own the means by which
they work, and are, therefore, not the
masters of the things which theis
work produces.
The remedy for the struggle for ex-
istence Is to make those who do the
necessary work the owners of the
means by which they work, |. e., fac
tories, mills. mines, railroads, etc.
Thus only can they become masters
of the things which their work pro-
duces. The remedy is Socialism.
MAN A TooL.uSlNG ANIMAL
Man is a toolusing animal The ne.
cessities of life for the millions are
produced by man with the help of
tools. Without the help of tools we
could not be fed, clothed or sheltered.
Some tools are simple and cheap. The
spade. the sewing, machine, the pair
of scissors, can be bought and used
by one man or woman. The person
who owns and works the spade, sew
ing machine or scissors Is the master
of the product Of his work. II all the
tools were as simple and cheap as
these there could be no Socialism. But
most tools are not simple and cheap.
Tools a thousand times dearer and
more complex than the spade, the sew
ing machine and the scissors, take
their places, because the dearer and
more complex tool can produce a
thousand times as much as the cheap
and simple tool can produce, per
worker.
But these new tools are far too COM
plicated for one man or woman to
work. And these new tools are far to
dear for one man or woman to buy.
You see what happens when the
one man worked with the tool which
the one man owned, then the things
that tool helped produce belonged to
the man who worked the tool; for the
man who worked the tool was the
same man who owned the tool. But
when the many men work with the
tool which other men own, how can we
expect the things that this tool and
men produce to belong to those who
produce them? We cannot, for the
many who work the tool are human
tools of those who own the steel tool.
HUMAN TOOLS
The human tools can only use the
steel tools when the owners of the
steel tools give their sanction. Hence
the human tools, wage-workers, are at
the mercy Of the owners of the tools
of production. The owners OF the COM
pick tools can dictate terms to those
who must use them in order to live
The only chance you have for survival
in the struggle for existence is to get
permission to use the tools, or, to gain
sufficient power to obtain possession
of the tools under collective owner
ship.
The Socialists are out to get pos
session Of the tools so that the whole
human race can have free access to
the tools and the products OF their
joint (co-operative) labor.
This can only be accomplished by
gaining control of the public power,
by capturing the political power of the
state, and Transforming the now COL
lectively-used. and privately owned
tools into the collective property of
the human race.
Naturally each political unit, or ma
tional group, must enter the struggle
for political power in it's own territory,
but guided and informed by the prin-
ciples and tactics Of Socialism.
