Comrades of The Cross

be impossible except for the fact that
Christ is now chained to the chariot
wheels of kings and capitalists in Eu-
rope, and the workers are cropping as
blindly in darkness as they were in
the days of the Roman Empire.
The hour has struck, therefore for
the workers themselves to become
comrades of the cross once more; not
in a mystical sense, but in a real sense.
We must be the sort of comrades who
would rather die on labor's cross than
to stick bayonets into our fellow work.
ers of any land or race:
The question is not whether we are
religious enough to take that stand,
but whether we are class conscious
enough to take that stand. Are we
really comrades?
Floyd J. Melvin has clearly shown
that class consciousness is higher de-
velopment than merely social con-
seriousness. Class-consciousness has
arisen to the point of moral discrimi--
nation. It has taken sides with the
down most class. Only as the oppress-
ed are freed can the race be freed.
Have we the moral courage to make
the claim that the demand Of the work

is the Call of the Cross" Have we
the spiritual heroism to restore to the
world this faith in elemental justice:
Even more! Have We the fortitude
to proclaim to the world that to ac-
cept Jesus is to accept his Cross and
that the Cross is the emblem of labor
and of the cause of labor? Have we
the moral metal in US to face all the
hysterical revivalism of this hour OF
the worlds spiritual darkness and
need, and challenge its right to in

murderous age?
indeed have we the faith to believe
that out of the solidarity of the "com-
mon people" we can rebuild this hu-
man world on the basis OF Justice Dy

Finally, do we dare to claim for the
Cause of Labor the sanction OF the
Father-God that Jesus revealed? Here

Prudential Insurance Agents Garry Out Strike Threat

unless they cancelled policies as soon
as four, weeks dues go ia arrears
To do that, they said, would wipe out
thousands of small policies carried by
the poorer classes and would cut the
life out of the agents collections.
An attempt at mediation by the
State Industrial Commission on Wed
nesday was failure, as the company
failed to send representative to the

Two labor commissioners tried to
adjust the differences yesterday be-

The Majority
ST. : :sr
Paid in Advance
Special Announcement

In everything entering into the printing trade
there have been sharp and revolutionary price
advances. The general advance has been about 100
per cent Because paper is the greatest single item
In the production of printed matter the 1O0per cent
advance has become very serious matter to all
newspapers.
q THE MAJORITY has been confronted with two>
alternatives to cheaper the cost of production or
increase the price, We do not like to do either And
) we have found third way which will work no
hardship, and which will still tide the diff
ficuty
Simply, it is to make the Majority subscription
PAID IN ADVANCE. Credit is cost The coll
lection of subscriptions costs from Is to so per cent
The credit cost to THE MAJORITY last year was
$2,700O0 To eliminate this cost will enable us to-
meet the increased price in paper, ink labor and all
materials
We are sure you will help us do this. It means.
little to you whether you pay the 81 now or later.
The use OF the 81 for whole year is Of little value to-
you But all these dollars, in the total, means this
tremendous difference to It will not only enable
us to pay the increased prices without increasings
selling price, but it will enable us to- get out a.
better paper brighter newsier and more interesting
To begnwith, there will be colored comic suppleA
ment issaedT with THE MAJORITY hAgfnnings with
the issue of August TO- 1916.
On that date Thursday, August 10, 1916, THE
MAJORITY will be 81 per year; PAID In AID
VANCE, Single copies at all news stands, will sell
at FIVE CENTS
If you are in arrears, we hope that you will take
this announcement in the spirit in which it is made,
and renew your subscription so that you will not
miss an issue. We would have preferred to continue
the old way, in friendly neighborly, pay-as-you-
please way but the fellows who started the Euro
pean War have caused all this. We are absolutely
helpless and taking the only step possible under
the conditions. All the newspapers Of the country
will soon be increasing their prices except possibly
those that are openly subsidized Most 81 weeklies
have already increased to $3.50 (paid in advance).
And we hope that you will remember that it costs
$3.50 to produce THE MAJORITY for one year for
one person. and that the subscription price of ST.
PAID IN ADVANCE still leaves us 150 to secure
through advertisements You will make it still
easier to produce better paper if you remember
this and patronize the advertisers.
