SECKENINC STORY OF INDUSTRIAL
SLAVERY in NEW YORK STATE

lawlessness in this dispute lies.
Gangs of the most adventurous and
brutal of the guards, race up and
down the street in motor cars, day
and night, taunting the workers
Joseph Mniszewski, organizer of the
Textile Workers, was forcibly kid
mapped by three of the gangmen from
in front of the Labor Temple and
badly beaten, because of the help he
had been to the strikers Mr..
Mniszewski was beaten on two other
occasions, and once 9O-pound stream
of water was turned on him from a
hose which the guards had arranged
for protection of the companys
plant These guards receive SO a
day from the county and are said to
receive 81 extra a doy from the cor
poration. Just what the taxpayers of
Oneida County will say to this i'm
position upon them, and how they will
feel at the county's paying these per
sons for one day nearly half as much
as an industrious worker receives for
a weeks wages, remains to be seen.
In spite of these prosecutions and
expressions the strikers are winning
their strike. They have back of them
the international Organization of the
United Textile Workers of America
and the Trades and Labor Assemblies
of Utica. They are kept from abso-
Lutte want by the strike benefits paid
to them by both the International Or
SANITATION and the Trades and Labor
Assembly. They are assisted in good
courage by these organizations. Mrs
Sara A. Conboy, international secre-
tary-treasurer, was in New York Mills
when the investigation reported was
made. She brought the renewed
financial and moral support of the
International Union
The public sentiment of Utica and
its surrounding towns is all with the
workers, who are striking for the
right to live in at least a measure of
comfort and physical decency
These Polish men and women
workers, exemplfying every virtue of
industry and self-respect and worthy
ambition for the welfare of their chill
dren, are making a stout and winning
fight for every ideal which is right
fully American
The above is more food for thought
on the open shop question. Does
Everett want a like condition. Ed

Harvey, the County of Oneida is pay

sheriffs in the alleged task of guard
ing the company's property" When
the strikers and the union asked the
sheriff to request the governor of the
state to send the militia to guard the
strikers from the insults and assaults
of the deputies" the request was
denied.
The significant fact in the denial is
that of the 100 men in the militia COM
pany of Utica, forty-five are members
OF trades unions. 1t was known that
these men in the militia would really
use the military power to see that the
strikers got a square deal
The militia not being called in, the
deputies have crossed the street
from the company's property and
mingled with the peaceful professions
of picketing men, women and chill
dren; have jostled them, have in

stances have struck them and tried

belief that as soon as an

HOW BILLIONAIRES ARE
MADE

(By American Economic Leaeue)
The present price of Standard Oil
stock shows John D. Rockefeller to be
worth $2,027OOOOOO. Mr.. Rockefeller
has been in the field as a bread
winner for about fifty years. The men
who started with i'm, and who de.
pended on industry and economy to
keep up with him, in order to do so
would have had to have earned and
saved about $4O,OOO,O0O year for half
a century.
That was manifestly impossible
None of them did so. Neither did Mr.
Rockefeller. Yet he has the two bill
lions. How did he get it? Since he
could not possibly have earned it. he
must have got it from some one who
did. Consequently a lot Of workers
whose combined wealth should now
be at least $2,OOO,OOO,OOO are short
that amount. And there is no mystery
about how it happened
As stakeholder in the Standard Oil
Company Mr.. Rockefeller enjoyed
certain unfair advantages conferred
upon him by law He has a monopoly
OF rights of way for pipe lines. It does
not matter how much ability, energy
or money others may have. They are
barred by the government from con-
! ~ to u,
Mr.. Rockefeller's. And if they use his
| pipe lines they must submit to his
terms. Mr.. Rockefeller received
special rates from the railroads which
We're denied his competitors. The
railroad corporations had the monop-
oily Of rights of way conferred by the
government That shut out all others.
Rockefeller got the benefit of their
monopoly.
Holding this monopoly on strips of
the earth, Rockefeller can get his raw
material for as little as producers can
be induced to accept, and sell his
finished product for all that te traffic
Will bear. He has other PRIVILEGES
from the government besides that of
monOpolizing land. For instance, he
has tariff privileges. This does not
consist in tariff on Oil, but in manip-
ulation of tariff legislation so that he
can obtain supplies free of duty, while
small competitors must pay duty.
Thus there is a tariff on steel which
increases the cost of steel containers
made in the United States. But the
law provides that the duty paid on
these be returned when they are
shipped from the country in big
enough quantities. SO the large shin
per, the Standard Oil Company, can
get remission of import duties. The
small shipper can not.
This does not complete the list of
privileges which have enabled one man
to get in lawful manner two billions
Of wealth produced by other people
But there is enough to explain why
we have paupers and millionaires in
this country. Why not end the sys-
tenn?

SUBSIDIZED PRESS

w. S. Carter, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Firemen and
Enginemen, spoke a part of the truth
when he said:
"The danger that confronted all
working people today is the coercion
of and subordination of the public
press by the master class The com
ing of the penny paper has done more
than anything else to place the press
under the domination of its adver-
Users. Unfortunately labor has but
little to do with advertising-prac-
tically all the advertisements come
from the master class
The other part of the truth is that
many newspapers in the United States
ARE controlled by the master class, 80
whether through advertising or slush
funds To a certainty very many
newspapers have been published for
years without enough income through
advertising or subscriptions to pay
their running expenses. These papers
must get the necessary support from
some source, and it is a poor guesser
who cannot point to the source. It is
not necessary to leave this neck O. the
woods to find such newspapers.

DAMN THE MAN
WHEN HE'S DOWN

The daily press are printing "An l.
w. w. Song" in their eagerness to
create public opinion against the men
now in Jail and soon to be tried for
their lives. The Journal reprints the
song today in compliance with the re-
quest of many who, though they do
not agree with the l. w. w. platform
and methods, are fair minded and
wish only a square deal,
The Herald says it printed the song
to 'show some of the characteristics of
the organization" The statement is
misleading, and whether it was made
through ignorance or desire to mis-
lead its readers we know not. The
Tribune, as before stated, drew the
same inference and left out the last
stanza in order to further mislead it's
readers The /. w. WIS are opposed
to war and all its devastating poverty
making, misery-producing effects. The
song was written by John T. Ken
drick, describing the unspeakable
brutality of the European war Here
is the song:
Christians at War
Onward, Christian soldiers! Duty's
way is plain:
Stay your Christian neighbors, or by
them be slain.
Pulpiteers are spouting effervescent
swill,
God above is calling you to rob and
rape and kill,
All your acts are sanctified by the
Lamb on high
If you love the Holy Ghost, go muir
der, pray and die.
onward, Christian soldiers, rip and
tear and smite!
Let the gentle Jesus, bless your dyna-
mite
Splinter skulls with srapnell, fertilize
the sod;
Folks who do not speak your tongue,
deserve the curse of God.
Smash the doors Of every home, pretty
maidens seize;
Use your might and sacred right to
treat them as you please.
Onward, Christian soldiers! Eat and
drink your fill
Rob with bloody fingers, Christ O.
KS the bill
Steal the farmers savings, take their
grain and meat;
Even though the children starve, the
Saviour's buns must eat.
Burn the peasants cottages. orphans
leave bereft;
In Jehovah's holy name, wreak ruin
right and left.
Onward, Christian soldiers; Drench
the land with gore;
Mercy is a weakness all the gods
abhor.

too;

the mother of his promised bride. He

girl. But she goes to Alaska and
