Gov. Alexander : Loyal Citizen

Now come, boys, and listenl story
I'll relate,
About loyal citizen; the Governor of
our state.
Twas just about the time, boys, our
money they did lend,
That Moses landed onto them, and
fought them to the end.
He fought them fast and furious. and
and gained most wondrous fame,
And to them it's still a mystery how
he fathomed out their game.
They raved, they swore, they tore
their hair, and Moses they cursed.
Of course,
Because his conscience told him that
the law must be enforced.
Unto the court Of justice these men
were led away,
And twelve true and honest jurors,
unto the judge did say
The Gem worker and the Idaho labor herald. (Boise, Idaho) 1914-1917, 1916-12-07

We've weighed the evidence carefully
as honest men should do,
And found these men were guilty, so
now it's up TO you.
The court was like graveyard, and
few there were that stirred;
Ali eager to hear the verdict. and not
miss even a word.
Some laughed, some mOaned, and
others they shed tears,
And wondered what the sentence
would be; one or fourteen years.
And now my story's ended, and well
you know it's true.
Did ever loyal citizen do any more
for youl
So when you ponder DER these facts,
they're true, as many will dote,
just give this loyal citizen an over
wheIming vote

Practically every industry that is or
may hereafter be established in the
state will come within the scope of the
bill, with the exception of farm and
household labor
Funds will be raised be assessments
against the employees in the different
occupations, which the proposed bill
provides shall be divided into eight
classes. Assessments will be made
against each industry just sufficient
to pay the losses in that industry.
The disbursing of the funds to
claimants will be through the board
and not by employers. All money will
be paid directly into the state fund and
disbursed by state warrant.
When an employer comes under this
act he will be released from all com
mon law liability and the sole remedy
to the workman is against this fund.

Eight billion dollar combine of Capt.
tai to fight organized Laborl Such is
the weight of the oppressive forces
headed by the U. S. Steel Corporation.
To realize what such oppression
means to the American people we shall
examine a district where Steel Trust
control is absolute; l. e., the Mesaba
Range.
The writer has shown before shown
How the Steel Trust Got It." This
deals with how the trust keeps It. We
shall summarize its local control Of
social and political forces. The part it
plays nationally is well known.
Look first at the federal judge of
this district, Page Morris. Judge Nor
ris has denounced from the bench the
range town councils, who wanted the
Steel Trust to pay proper taxes. The
Judge owns Steel stock. How he got
it has not been explained. Next,
Bruce Mcdonald immigration Inspec-
tor at Duluth, in recommending de-
portation of Geo. Anderytchine, a
striker, said, "He is dangerous because
he is smart, having required remark
able English vocabulary in less than
three years"
| introduce for the state-Governor
Burnquist. He it was who sent the
now famous telegram to the sheriff
ordering the arrest of strike leaders
and the taking of them before magis-
trate, preferably at Duluth" where
Burnquist was apparently sure of the
judge. Burnquist it was who gave
sanction to the importation of an
army of thugs to over-awe the strik-
ers.
Next is sheriff Meining Of St. Louis
County, who deputized this private
army of the Trust and gave it full
power to deny constitutional rights Of
speech and assembly. These so-called
guards left company grounds to at
tack strikers on the streets and in
their homes. This crew arrested over
six hundred people. District Atty.
Greene is the one who saw that the
victims escaped no penalty he and his
subordinates could fix upon them with
the aid Of gunman testimony.
Municipal Judge Carey during the
strike, gained the sobriquet of "Old
Ninety Days"-his usual sentence to
strikers. The mayors of the range
towns are the one bright spot. Head

only thing that stood between them
and their desire to unload billions of
dollars Of worthless European war Sc
curities was the election of Woodrow

of the Federal Reserve Board. 1t is
true that they have already unloaded
about one billion on a portion of our
greatest banks. We should never have
loaned Europe on shilling in any form
that did not mean the paying of some
obligation due Europe by Uncle Sam.
The best business policy Of this coun-

used Europe's necessities to get out

way Of stocks and bonds but con-

Cost Of Living at Acute Stage
(By Marcus Day.

Since the high cost of living has
reached an acute stage OF oppression
the long goaded and abused public is
beginning to act There is little doubt
that this winter is the last in our his
tory when conscienceless spectators
will operate successfully, and it is much
better for the country that they have
stepped beyond the bounds of pru-
dence. The average American is a
patient OK and takes much prodding
before he takes any initiative is going
after his enemies. It is hoped that he
does not give up the fight to find them
and that he digs deep and persistently
until the real "niggars in the wood
pile" are ferreted out.
There are several different methods
by which immediate relief can be
found, among them complete en-
barge against food exports, arbitrary
fixing of maximum prices, boycotts,
etc, etc. But none of these methods
can any more than bring temporary
relief. They do not cure an evil; they
simply mitigate effects.
Back of every other cause for high
living is land monopoly. The un-
earning parasite who capitalizes pros
perity by taking to himself in the form
of rent the values created by the pres

Juggling EurOpe's War Debts
(By Marcus Day)

Indications that the credit bubble
of the Triple Entente is about to un-
dergo some inside juggelry in order
to make it appear not quite so inflated
and that many of our great profit-tak-
ing, dividend reaping dollar hogs are
going to circulize the country with
soft and pursuasive pleas to not get
skeered." Spending one hundred mil
lion per day in the business of destruc-
ton, with the necessity Of a new credit
for each quarter, without paying off
any of the previous principals may
seem like an endless chain to the un-
interested reader who is spell-bound at
large figures but any thinking person
must know that such process has its
limitations.
But it is about time that the pluto
cratic coterie of business bandits here
who desire above all things to have

that they can continue profit taking

ness conditions closely and as soon as
industrial activity starts in he begins
to raise rents. He produces nothing,
earns nothing and employs no one in
his capacity as a landlord; he simply
absorbes the labor of others.
When one makes a general accusa-
tion against landlords as class he
must not be understood as consider
ing only the owners of residence prop
erty, idle and offered on terms of great
liberality during dull times. This ele-
ment of land monopoly, while import
ant, is only one of small consequence
in comparison with the greater abb
sorptions, such as idle coal deposits,
unused timber areas, undeveloped oil
fields, commercial real estate, railroad
grant lands and all natural resources
which have been given by government
to privilege seekers who successfully
corrupt and influences state legisla-
lures and even the national congress.
There must be penalty put upon
the holding of natural resources out

SETS HISTORIC MARX
American Federation Of Labor Assumes
Leadership for Industrial Economic Justice
(By Dante Barton.l

which the Convention of the Fedora
tion was set was the political victory
for those domestic moves toward
democracy and those policies of inter-
national relationships with which the
labor movement had just definitely
and positively allied itself
The Convention illustrated the
drawing together of the labor forces
by the appearance before it of the
chiefs of the four great brotherhoods
of railroad employees. Practically a
union or voluntary working agreement
between the Federation and the
Brotherhoods was established or given
demonstration. incidentally to that
wider agreement, there was formed
during the Convention closer co-op-
Grafton between the brotherhoods and
those trades allied with them in the
transportation service that were all
ready included within the Federation
The Convention, in other words, dis
played to the nation its control of the
machinery or the instruments with
which the workers and producers of
wealth are prepared to defent them
selves against economic expressions
of combined money or the political
tyrannies which combined money as
sumes the power to infict The in
strument or the machinery prepared
by the labor movement for its side in
whatever industrial struggle impends,
is made the more potent by the fact
that the supply Of workers is now re-
stricted by world facts.
So much was done b. the Conven-
tion, that the Convention assumed
the proportions of capable legisla-
tive Congress.
Il was, in fact, Labor's legislative
comment and Labor's legislative ac-
ton on the industrial facts disclosed
by the United States Commission on
Industrial Relations.
The Convention, furthermore, de-
clared again Labor's opposition to
militarism and to militaristic training
OF young persons in the schools. 1t
/ ratified the steps already taken by the
Federation to bring about interna-
t'onal peace and good international
understandings through cementing
international relationships of the
working classes. 1t not only ratified
the steps already taken, but made fur
ther steps forward as affecting es-
pecially the United States and Mexico,
the South American Republics and
Japan. With regard to Porto Rico,
the resolutions of the Convention
demonstrated that the American labor
movement wished to extend Ameri-
can protection to human rights rath-
er than investments of capital in
neighboring countries and possess
ions.
The many specific acts and reso-
lutions OF the Convention can hardly
be enumerated by brief survey and
appreciation of it. The spirit of the
Convention was its dominant factor.
There was an unmistakably self-con-
fident democratic spirit. But it was
embodied also in definite and direct
statements on the fundamental demo
cratic issues of the time The Indus
trial Conference Board and the Rail-
roads, who have thrown down the
challenge to organized labor will be
surprised at the prorhptness and vigor
with which Labor has taken the chal.
lenge up.
