sentation and by the exertion of in sidious and perverting expressions of opinion so that their minds are held captive by the bonds which have been woven for that express purpose by powers which are fight, ing the workers daily and weekly ard ,carly, lest they realize their o~n economic might and take up the position not of asking with bated breath and whispering humb- leness, but demanding and making their demands being prepared to enforce them.
 As we see it under the present in- dustrial system when some are ex- ploiters and others are exploited, there is no getting over the class antagonisms which arise. And men must take sides with the working class or against them. There is no golden mean. When the Latin poet declared that there was a medium
 in things he had no conception of the class struggle. It is impossible to carry water on both shoulders or to straddle two horses, be one ever so adept. This labor movement predicates this condition and only when it is thwarted and becomes i,,o onn6 hn | ibly held that there is a community of interest between employer ana employed. There is not and there never can be. The more wages paid the greater will be the sum drawn from the pile that otherwise would be distributed as profits. It is to the employers interest to get as much work done and as profitable, for as small wages as possible. And it is only the height of absurdity for the workers, therefore, to per init themselves to be influenced by that section of the press which when labor and capital are involved in any question will always espouse the cause of the capitalists.
 The kept Press fights always on the side of the biggest bank ac- count. That is it's function: to mold perverted public opinion that will aid in that bank account growing more and more plethoric.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-07-29
THE VIEWPOINT.

It is quite apparent that no good word is to be said in either the Post Intelligencer or the Seattle Times for the striking longshoremen. The efforts of the men to obtain their share of the much heralded prosperity meets with no approval But that may have been expected ill Seattle.
 The other day upon the arrival of the mail, a Juneau exchange was opened wherein nothing but denunciation and belittlement was directed towards the Iongshore men. And in the same issue of the same paper was the telegraphic announce ment that the steamship companies had increased their rates one dollar a ton to Southeastern Alaska. But that did not elicit anything in the way of the denunciation and the bitterness the longshore strike aroused, although it was protested very mildly that already the rates were high and the increase hardly justified.
 Labor's efforts to better it's con- dition meet the same direct anta gonism anywhere. And when they ask for higher wages, to meet the undeniable increased cost of living they are met by growls and grumD- lings and disgraceful misrepresenta sion which is calculated with due generalization to arouse public opi- nion against the workers But con- Esjder the fact that when a steamship company increases its rates it does not ask the shippers if it meets their approval. The steamship com pany insists upon it's right to demand what increase their business neces- sities require. When they say dollar or a ten dollar rate will be enforced, that rate goes. There is no getting over it. But with the case of the workers when they ask an increase as individuals they are fired and when they ask for an in- crease as an organization they have 10 win strike to obtain it. There is no dictation tolerated Dictation is the privilege of the corporations.
 Indeed, the attitude of the press towards workingmen when they en- tieavored to obtain more of the pro- fits which their labor is creating is that of MT. Rumble to Oliver Twist when he asked for more soup. The idea of it is regarded as shock fngly audacious and that is precise " the attitude of the Seattle papers and papers published elsewhere to the longshoremens demands.
 The time is coming when the workers must be wholly indifferent to this manufactured sentiment, and that can only happen when they rise above what the other people say. They have to work out their own salvation for themselves and separate their movement from any other influences than those which arise within their own efforts :o- wards industrial freedom. '}
 There can hardly be any question hut that what retards the labor movement so enormously and su that it travels Hike weed clogged wave" in so many places, is because of the fact that so many are sus- ceptible to outside influences and SD amenabie to forces which do not and never can affect their movement for good. They allow themselves to he subject to opinions which are :artificially stimulated by adroir press stories and by skilfully mani pulated news service, by misrepre-
