THE TWO CLASSES

two representatives of humanity.
On ONE side you have desperate

The recourse left the ONE, lies
so far, In organization, against the
powerful corporation of the OTHER.
Hence the effort of the machinists
In the recent problem of equity and

The effort of the artesans in this
recent movement, at securing rea-
sonable recognition, was necessarily
entrusted to the leaders of organi-
zation. And why do you say |!
Because to be good workmen, un

the present system ipaugurates, it
gives little time and opportunity
for personal advancement. There

sented for solution, under the econ

the first cases of complaint urged

gulf separately, the plebian and
aristocrat-or Capital and Labor,

contention.

tinct classes of citizenship are seen
ONE, the man who had hands and
brains, intelligence, strength, and
training to work according to the
demand of nature. for what he
needs, but who stands empty hand
ed with no accumulation of things
hitherto produced with no capital
What can he do? There are no
more wild animals to hunt for food
or whose skin he can appropriate
for rainment. There is nothing in
nature he can use, because 1t Is the
property of somebody, stamped
with the right of possession by ac-
cumulation. There Is mot a field
in which he can dig root, or pluck
an ear of corn, or gather a handful
of fruit, that is not hedged with
the same right. There is nothing
within his reach to which he can
apply his labor, to make it produc-
tive of support, or exchangeable to
others, that is not ticketed and Ia
beled hands off. )" The mark of
appropriation, the seal of ownership
by capital, is on everything around
him. What can he do? Accept

with the labor organizations Day
ton the Gem city of the West as it
is famtliary known has been swoop

impression that they have made

P. 0. Employees Defended.

Parkersburg, w. Va Feb II.
In q double column editorial The
State Journal of this city condemns
most vigorously the conviction in
Judge Dayton's federal court Of a
score of Fairmont postal employees
who resigned their positions be-
cause Of failure to secure justice
from the post ofice department and
the civil service commission The
editor says, in part:
1T is we'll to hear in mind that
the Fairmont post Office employees
were indicted and prosecuted for a
conspiracy to obstruct and retald
the passage of the mails by peace
ably quitting their employment
1t was admitted by the government
that they had used neither physi-
cal force, threats, intimidation or
moral suasion to prevent others
frcm taking their places. They
undertook to exercise no control
save that guaranteed them con
troll of themselves and took their
own services.
If the government of the United
States in the civil service has the
right and the power to compel its
employees to continue their services
under these circumstances, and
upon the contention set up in this
case, whether the employees will
or not, then private interests and
private employees have the same
right and the same power.
In such a proposition there is
neither law nor logic. None bat
an autocrat and despot would
make such pretensions.

ask for an inquiry turning the full
light of publicity upon this attempt
to beat down popular rights held
