Comradc Editors:
Ryan Walker, under contract from
the National office to lecture at s
o'clock p. m, March 3Oth, at Bremen
tom Washington, sent the following
message to said city from Seattle at
t:l5 p. m, three hours before the lee
ture was to have begun:
account of Coleman Dock strike
cannot come. Sorry
(Signed) RYAN WALKER
Now while we admire Comrade
Walkers stand in refusing to ride a
scab boat, we cmphatically protest this
procedure and offer the few following
impertnent FACTS for general con
sidcration: The burden of securing
Comrades Kirkpatrick, Walker and
Seidcl fell upon the shoulders of per-
haps less than half "A dozen people.
For the first date, Comrade Kirkpat-
rick was i'll, but furnished an able sub
stitute in the person of Maynard Ship
ley. Because Of this Comrades high
ly instructive, illustrated discourse,
Local Bremerton had no criticism or
complaint of any nature to offer.
However, second failure was going
1t little too strong. Many people
from the surrounding country char
tered launches. These were all Com
rades who are hard working people
and both the money spent and the eff
fort to get to the lecture meant big
sacrifice to them. Ryan Walker, we
are informed, could have chartered a
launch for $500 and kept his appoint
ment He was under contract and in
honor bound to meet his obligation
This he evidently made no attempt
to do
Now the time has arrived when the
chaff must be separated from the
grain. There is no room for the list
less or Indifferent. Had Comrades
Debs or Warren been confronted with
a like difficulty, you would have found
them on the platform on time if they
had to swim to make it!
Now, in reference to riding boat
on which men were striking: Let me
point out respectfully to Comrade
Ryan the fact that twice daily about
500 to 400 supposedly PERFECTLY
GOOD UNION MEN GU ride those
identical boats to and from work Let
me also point out that the Card Man
who wishes to get in BAD with his
Union has only to dwell upon Social
ism, That we have yet to find the
Union which has busted ham string
in its eXertions for the cause which
Comrade Ryan represents. Further
more, it was not OPTIONAL with him
to come or NOT come as suited his
own PERSONAL fancy!
True, we do not support scabs or
scabbing; but we are CONVINCED
that, under circumstances such as
these, Comrade Ryan was justified in
riding one Of these boats and forward
ing an apology to the Union after
wards in explanation of his action
Or he could easily have gotten in
touch with the strikers and requested
that they provide transportation-thi
with the understanding that it would
be paid for. If the $500 which Com
rade Ryan received from Local Brem-
erton would not have covered this,
there were enough Comrades who
would have willingly dug up their
hard earned dollars to meet it. The
of this lecture course will do
much harm to the entire seasons
Fraternally yours,

ANOTHER POINT

1t was with a strong feeling of mis-
giving, that we noticed an attempt the
other day, to show the readers of the
Northwest Worker that there was no
difference between Economic Deter
minism' and the "Materiaislic Con
ccption Of History" We felt that we
were utterly abased when we observed
the weight Of authority behind the
"stone" in our path. But being of a
cheerful nature, and presumptuous
withal, as witness our use of the edi-
torial I've" so it will be observed we
quickly recovered from the shock, and
dared to enter the controversial lists
once more, on behalf of our Economic
interest"
But fear not, readers; this is posi-
lively our last appearance in this dis
cussion, unless by special request.
However, we felt that our humble il
Illustrations were as chaff before the
wind, and something more solid must
be sought. And with becoming rever-
ence and awe, we adjourned to the
feet of the prophet, even to Frederic
Engels, and we sought and did find.
Here are the words as spoken unto his
chosen people; draw nigh, we vulgar
izing children of Belial, and give ear:
MARX and are partly responsible for
the fact that the younger men have
sometimes laid more stress on the eco
monte side than it deserves. In meet
ing the attacks of our opponents, it
was necessary for us to emphasize
the dominant principle denied by
them; and we did not always have
time, place or opportunity to let the
other factors concerned in the mutual
action and reaction, get their deserts.
According to the materalistic view
Of history, the factor which is in last
instance decisive in history, is the pro-
ductiOn and reproduction of actual life.
More than this. Marx and | have
never asserted. But when anyone dis
torts this so as to read that the econO-
mic factor is the sole element, he con-
verts the statement into meaningless
monte condition is the basis, but the
various elements of the superstruc-
ture; political contests and their re-
suits, the constitutions, the legal
forms, and also all the refleXes of
these actual contests in the brain of
the participants. Political, legal and
philosophical theories and religious
vieWs-all these exert an influence on
the development of the hostoric strug-
giles, and in many instances determines
their form"
Thus, Engels in 1890 spoke or wrote
with the pen of authority in series
of articles to the "Sozialistische Aka
demiker," and by ali The gods, it's true.

in defiance of our economic interest, |
as wage workers. But we digress, we
feel humbled, utterly crushed by the
quotations of our opponent. Yet we
still breathe and have our being, for

\ striking change has come

large business concerns toward

The theory behind this ancient
prejudice was that the college

Several things have happened.
some Of them concern the college

which he has had hts training,
and some the employer himself.
The student. first of all, is
getting the benefit Of a more
