from common workers into capitalists
and visions of the millennium We're re-
Elected from the publicity this wonder
full plan received.
"A brief four months has shattered the
dream and the employees of the Harvester
company find themselves worse off than
before, for living costs have been soar
ing and wages inadequate. a strike has
resulted and the profit sharing plan has
failed.
Such plans are but means OF robbing
employees of compensation that is due
them. Again, the plans are intended to
make the employees loyal to the company,
for while they are deluded into the be-
lief that they are stockholders, the
theory is that they will refrain from Or
ganizing and keep silent on a wage is
sue. The theory fails to work out in
practice, however, as shown by the num-
erous strikes thruout the country where
so-called profit sharing plans have been
instituted.
profit sharing schemes are decep-
tion. They do not benefit the great
bulk of employees, who are paid an in
sufficient wage to live decently and are
therefore unable to purchase certificates.
The paternalism of employers is be-
nevolent despotism and operates for low
wages. poor working conditions and re.
striction of freedom. The only salvation
for the worker is the bona fide trade
union"

Strike at Harvester Works ShoWs
Profit Sharing a Delusiue Snare
What Was Heralded "Magnoninous Christmas Gift" to
Employees Proues to Be Chain Placed About Their
Necks to Preuent Organization

The Chicago Union Leader, official
magazine of the Amalgamated Street
Car Mems Union, has this to say of
profit sharing schemes:
Events at the plant of the Interna-
tional Harvester company the past week
go to show the failure of the so-called
profit sharing plan to bring justice to
the workers. Two days before Christmas
the daily press announced a wonderful
philanthropy on the part OF this COM
pany. They were going to reward con-
tinuous service and assist employees to
become stockholders in the company and
share its profits. A plan was published
giving the employees the privilege OF sub
scribing for a profit sharing certificate
from $50 to $1,000, to be paid in sums
of not less than 81 nor more than S25
a month, to be deducted from the wages
and to mature not later than January
2, 1921. Each employe subscribing for
such certificate and having earned 500
or more during 1915 was to be credited
with l per cent of his wages for that
year, to be applied to his account, inter-
est at S per cent on payments and cred
its to be added.
Now this great paternal feature OF
the Harvester company was heralded as
a Christmas gift to their employees and
a panacea for all labor ills. The en-
ployes were at once to become stockhold'
ers and share in the great profits OF this
institution. They would be transformed

Urge an Organization of All Employers
to Combat the Battle for Industrial
Freedom of Toilers.

The National Association of Manu-
demned by a congressional investigating
committee a few years ago, held con-
vention in New York last week. The
non-union shop was favored, child labor
laws condemned and complete organi-
zation of all employers was urged IL
the business men of the country hope to
cope with the American Federation OF
Labor"
The gathering was of the regulation
anti-union standard, altho this associa-
ton has been attracting less attention
since congress has exposed its lobbying
methods. President George Pope, in his
annual address, made the usual plea for
free and independent workmen and the
non-union shop w. G.. Bruce of Mil
waukee called on all employers to oppose
the literacy test for immigrants. The
country has never been in greater need
of labor" he said.
ID. +. Felt, of the Illinois Manufactur-
ers' association opposed child labor laws,
which he termed zone of the greatest
wrongs inflicted upon the supposedly
free people of the United States" Mr..
Felt blamed the labo runions for this at
tempt 'to restrict the supply of skilled
labor under the sguise of child labor
laws" These laws are an outrage, he
continued They deprive the youth of
America the right to learn to make a
living and learn n trade.
Every other advance, favored by men
whose eyes are in the front of their
head, was condemned.
The delegates then attended banquet
and the annual "denounce fest" ad-
journed.

NOLAN'S MINIMUM WAGE BILL
House Committee Votes Unanimously in
Favor of the Measure.

The House Committee on Labor has
unanimously agreed to favorable re-
port on the bill presented by Congress-
man Nolan, member of the labor
group, which provides that no employe
of the federal government shall receive
less than So per day. The author of the
bill was instructed by the committee to
prepare a report to the house embody-
ing the reasons why the bill should be
passed. The committee held extended
hearings on this question and the wit
nesses convinced committeeman that the
governments minimum rates in a large
percentage of cases do not cover the
present standard OF living.
The Nolan bill proposes a minimum
of SO day for all who have been at
least two years in the government serv-
ice and who are 81 years of age or over.
Those who work less than eight hours a
day shall be paid not less than 37h
cents an hour.

The 9th Degree Oath of the

TIC meet the bluff and the falsehoods Of
those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath-bound
subjects of a foreign power, 1 have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our Government, and spies in our camp.
They are armed and drilled, as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-to-date rifles against
their fellow citizens.
This question of Popery is the most impor-
tant question now facing the people Of
America.

yourselves Priced ten cents.

the Catholic church, although he was no more
of a papist than Saint Patrick, and King
Henry VIII.
Wycliffe was really the Father of the Prot
estant Reformation, for his doctrines were
carried into Bohemia and Germany-after
King Richard II. married Bohemian prin-
cess-and Luther studied them, just as John
Huss and Jerome had DONE
The next time Bishop Gum wants a copy
of our mailing list, let him apply to us for it,
like an honest man,: and the next time he
credits Magma Charta to rebellious Catholics,
let him credit them with the Revival of
Learing, and with the Protestant Reforma
ton, to which two rebelious movements the
modern world owes its escape from the dlaboi
ical Medievalism of Popes and Kings.
John Gum was unable to finish his patriotic
harangue without showing Romes cloyen
foot.
He said:
Lberty-freedom, do they constitute free
thought-free speech-free love-free life? No.
God forbid.
Why did this oath bound traitor to Amer
lean principles include free love- in the same
category with free thought and free speech?
In spite of himself this alien, this subject
of an Italian potentate could not conceal the
inveterate hatred of Rome to free thought
and free speech.
"God forbid!
IF God meant that your brain should be the
slave of the brain of an immoral priesthood,
whose women are locked in converts, and
whose children are buried in vaults, why did
He give you any brain at all?
If you are not free to think, what's the use
of the given power to think?
Did the Almighty bestow upon an italian
impostor the divine right to deny you the
exercise of your intelligence?
If you cannot speak freely, why did nature
endow you with an unbridled tongue?
Have you got to wait, silent submissive,
until John Gum gets his orders from Italy?
Must you then become John Gums parrot,
and repeat what John Gum has heard from
the Vatican!
That's what he calls ''Americanism'
That's what all of these oath-bound Roman
treason mongers call ''Americanism
And he, John Gum, has the hardihood to
classify freedom of thought and of speech
with "free love-"
Well, I've said my say against 'sfree love-
as advocated by Herr Bebe and other extreme
Socialists; and have also had my say against
free love, as practised by American priests.
IF Bebel's theory is hideous, the actual sys-
tenn of the bachelor priesthood is infinitely
more so.
Especially, since negro priests are multi
plying.

not only were forbidden to contain books
Objectionable to Popes, but no Bibles were
allowed, no free speech, no freedom of
writing, and no freedom of conscience.
Not only that, they rang bell at good
dark, and made everybody go to bed.
~ That no one can be imprisoned without
due process OF law.
What good would that do if we didn't have
the Protestant law of Habeds Corpus, which
guarantees speedy trial!
am not so much concerned as to how can
get into Jail, as | am as to getting out.
The Catholic laws creased the ways IN, but
the Protestant laws oil up the ways out.
To this statement, [ must make one ex-
ception:
We hare not get discovered q method By
achch ace can free the boys and girls, the
men and acomen, shat up en- Roman Cathozic
aetnne1les, conrents, maonasteraes and Houses
of the GOOD Shepherd
These victims of the Roman system are in
prison, and without "due process of law
Maybe Gum will preach on this text, the
next time his patriotism slops over.
(3) No representation, no taxation
Bully Not only was that a principle
unknown to popery but they have perfected
the opposite idea by getting their churches
represented ege1yeohere, without paying taxes
(4) Trial by jury.
A Germanic system in use before the cruel
fXon of Christ
Also, practise in England before Chris
tianity of any sort ever entered the Kingdom.
In strictly Catholic countries, they never
had trial by jury, and do not have it, now.
The Roman Catholic 1nqulsitlon arrested,
imprisoned tried, tortured, and put to death
hundreds of thousands of ''heretics," Moors,
and Jews, and never a Jury was lmpannelled.
Bishop Gums brazen effrontery beggars
adequate comment.
(5) Fixed courts and hdbeaS corpus.
The Pope-Innocent the Great-laid the
curse of Rome upon Magma Charta, which
provided for fixed courts; and, as / have al
ready stated, the writ Of hG6eaS corpus is
Protestant.
No Catholic country eeer had such q zaac
Spain, Portugal, Austria, Poland, Bavaria,
South America, Central America, Cuba,
Mexico, the Philippines were all Catholic, not
long ago, and none of them enjoyed trial by
jury, or the Writ of Ha6eas Corpus.
France never had such just laws as these,
until after the Catholic rule was cast off, in
the Revolution of 1889.
Even England could not compel a speedy
trial of imprisoned men and women, until
after Cromwell had chopped off the head
of that Catholic bigot and tyrant, King
Charles /.
Does this hypocritical priest, Gum, remem>
Der how many years John Bunyan was held
In prison, without trial?
Glorious Baptist, brave Cromwellian sol
der! Bunyan lay in jail for tecez0e long
gears, because the Roman Catholics hated
him both for being a Bible-reading Baptist,
and q Cr0nacellian patriot.
No Habeas Corpus then, John Gum!

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snufs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is
medicinal food and buildink-tonic. free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.
