MODERN INDUSTRIAL SLAVERY

maintained in any condition on two
cents a day.
g. The labor troubles of. 1914 in
South Africa +were 1tc addsed, by the low
wages paid the laborer, the native
laborer, said to have averaged about
two dollars a month. Capital could
not maintain these native laborers for
that sum, hence the occasion for chat
tel slavery even in Africa has gone by,
and industrial slavery substituted.
3. At the present time among our
selves, a man cannot properly main
tain himself, shelter, clothes, and feed
a family, and send the children to
school on $3.50 a. day, yet millions
of laborers in the United States are
working for less than that. American
capital, therefore, is making more
than could be realized by the chattel
ownership, the slavery, of these mil
ions.
T. The farmer raises and fattens
stock for the packer cheaper than the
packer could, if only called upon to
pay the cost of the farmers living
The packer sees that the prices are
right" when he sells the feeders to
the farmer, and again he buys them
back as meat cattle. The farmer also
raises grain, but the spectators, the
boards Of trade, ia Ike all the profits
These gamblers" could not raise the
grain as cheaply as the farmer, if
furnished the labor gratis. We, there
fore, see that the farmer, both as re-
spects cattle and grain, has less in
come than the cost of supporting him
as slave.
5. The producers of raw materia
generally, whether from the soil OF
the mine, as respects the great com.
bines now in control of everything
are in the same class with the farmer
a condition more favorable to capita
than slavery.

By a. \. GRAHAM.

One o. those wise ancients, we
used to hear so much about, said,
"War is the natural state of mankind -
IT. now, were to add my own wis
DOM I should say, War is the
natural state of all living things"
With the first we can differ only on
q technically, whether natural. pro-
perly expresses the condition in ques-
ton. Perhaps constant would have
been a better word. The history of
the world, including the present
shows, as a fact, that war has always
been constant, either actively or pas
sively, but whether natural now be-
what the difference, whether by ball
or bayonet, or by cold or starvation ?
With the other wise ancient We
might make the same observation
respecting the use of the word
natural" but slavery, chattel slavery
as is meant, has never been eithe,
uniform or constant, and, at present
$ nonexistent
With the third wise one we can.
not differ, for his saying, founded or
the nature of life, is universally true
A better system than chattel slavery
and more profitable for capital in.

over, but infinitely worse for labor:

weston, the trust company, (and, under
this division, we must include the
loanshark and the pawnbroker, how
ever much they may :intrud e. on Ere
spectability, all these make larger
profits from interest and usury, than
they could by owning, using and op-
Grating the properties securing their
loans.
One illustration applies to all these
cases: A farmer recently said to me
that he owned farm worth $4,000,
mortgaged for $4,000; that he had.
productive personal property (cattle)
worth $4,000, making a total of $15,-
900: and, that, with his individual
work added, he was barely able to pay
the interest on the $4,000 to the bank.
The bank, therefore, by an outlay of
$4,000, gets all the returns from
capital amounting to $4,000 plus the
individual earnings of the debtor also.
Other instances are numerous, but
space is precious. and further proof
would be only cumulative and super
flous.
We thus see that the laborer and
the producer, under the present sys-
tenn, as willing and competitive work.
erS, are more pfOltaDle 10 cdpltal tHdIi
! as chattel slaves. So gradually have
the lashes been wound round the peo-
| pie they do not seem to realize that
they are now bound hand and foot.
Does not the case also justify the: con-
clusion, that chattel* slavery was abol-
ished mostly because capital found,
and was able to enforce, a cheaper
! system of labor, Industrial slavery?
And, also, has not labor all the rights
Of society yet to secure? .'->,
BY how much, therefore, is our
boasted freedom, our civil liberties,
seen to be worse for us than ,chattel
slavery, and by how much more pro-
ftable to capital is our industrial
slavery. -, -

Your Last Chance

The title of House Bill 120 passed over the COVER
nors veto reads that it is to facilitate the in
itative and referendum powers of the people. This
is grim joke. Gov. Lister aptly described the sit
uation He said the bill really facilitates the death
Of the initiative and referendum" And that is ex-
actIy what it meansdeath to the powers Of the peo
pie to declare for themselves by their direct votes
what they want in legislation.
If House Bill 100 is allowed to become law, the
outlaw Legislature of 1915 will have accomplished by
subterfuge and deception what it had right to do
in the OPEN The initiative and referendum rights of
the people guaranteed by the constitution. The
legislature has no right to repeal any provision of
the constitution. So the legislature passed meas
to facilitate the operation of these consttu
tonal rights of the people, and House Bill 100 fac
itates it to death by requiring sgners of initiative
and referendum petitions to fulfill impossible condi
tions.
House Bill 100 is allowed to become law, the leg
islature could sell out on anything and the people
would be powerless to prevent it. OF all the vicious
legislation enacted by the late Legislature, House Bill
100 is the worst It must be killed, above all other
measures. 1t does not go into effect until June 10.
By that time referendum petition must be signed
up IF you do not sign, you lose your last chance to

THEY'RE After Ben AGAIN

And yet another attempt is being made by indirec-
ton to remove Ben Lindsey from the bench as juve
nile court judge of Denver.
They may "get'' Ben Lindsey, but the interna-
tional reputation he gained the promoter of the
juvenile court system will live long after his ashes
have been returned to the dust.
Ben Lindsey is the man who promulgated the
startling dictrne that the street arab has SOUL even
as you and /.
He believes that bad boys are largely the result of
evil precept and unhappy environment; that their
young hearts, if treated before the seed of crime
springs into blossom, may be mellowed by the
warmth of brotherly love into performing their
proper offices.
He thinks that most boys, regardless of their prev
ious condition. are not without honor. He demon
strated his theory by permitting several hundred
lads of Denver sentenced to the industrial school at
Golden, Colo, to go unattended and proved he was
right when only five betrayed the trust
Ben Lindsey has made many good man out of a
bad boy by treating boys as unfortunate friends in
stead of hardened criminals In the doing he incl
dentally built political following which has resisted
AL efforts heretofore made to overthrow him. The
bread that he cast upon the waters has returned to
him many times over.
Il retired to private life by envious politicians he
win still have been rewarded in the gratitude of the
youths of Denver he has helped to useful career
and the consciousness that he has striven to make
the old world better place ia which to live.

Moral: THINK FIRST

y Some days ago The Times took occasion to suggest
gently to p s. Savidge water superintendent, that
lie talked too much.
The criticism was called forth by series of inter-
views in one of the special interest papers in which
he was quoted as making reflections on the ability of
the municipal power plant to handle its business.
His conclusions did not seem warranted, and it
certainly was hardly fitting for the water superin-
tendent to be telling the people how to run the light
plant.
But now, week later, comes Savidge with de-
NAL In letter to Commercial Agent Rhodes, of the
light department, he repudiates the final and princi
pal interview as false.
His recommendation for an auxiliary plant, he
now explains, only intended to apply to the dis
tant future.
Then he adds Gas for guaranteeing continuous
service the present plant is in better shape to do
than any other two plants in the country, and tells
why.
So, perhaps, we owe Mr.. Savidge little apology
for former remarks, far they related to his
supposed engineering conclusions.
But as to talking too much which appears now to
have brought Mr.. Savidge into uncomfortable
hole, it seems to us, conclusions were quite JUST
fed
And Mr.. Savidge by no means is the only city Of
fetal who can take a lesson from his experience.
