The other day Scott Nearing in 9 lecture had occasion to point out | that from 1850 to 1912 the wealth of the country had increased six fold while the population itself had only increased fourfold.
 Labor's productivity had in- creased therefore greatly since the time mentioned, but labor had not been adequately rewarded in pro- portion to that increased troduo- tivity.
 The effort of labor to get great CT and greater portion of it's pro ducts is otherwise known as the effort to effect a more equitable distribution. of the country's wealth. They are as far off, if not further from achiey- | ing any such ideal today as they were in 1850, while we see on every side huger and huger fortunes au tomatically accommodating for a fa- vored few That Iavoren lew | is not mentally or phy- sically blind, nor are their officials who are paid to think for them. They know that the conditions which prevail cause now and then sporadic revolts which have to be handled. These sporadic revolts are called strikes, and it is the func. tion of the private armies of capi. talism to crush such strikes.
 They do so effectively just al
 long as the revolts are sporadic, but if conditions continue, it is only 2
 matter of time when these strikes
 will not be local or sporadic but
 general, and then something more
 effective than the gunman will be
 needed-a larger order on capital ist preparedness forsooth.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-02-01

The convention of the American Federation of Labor resoluted against and denounced the gunmen used in brow beating and bulldozins labor on strike.
 There are almost hundred firms in the United Stat6 today who furnish men for this purpose. Ten of these are located in New York alone. They are very power full and they make money.
 They maintain capitalisms re- tainers. The industrial ovor-lordc, like the barons of old. have their private men at arms; but they farm them out economically saving them selves the expense of daily mair, taining them.

comings of present day education as to quality, but its extension as to quantity. Only ten per cont, to quote government figures, pass from tho grades to tho High School. The rest simply do not have any other beducation. Economic circumstances compel them to rush to mine, mill, factory or farm to ekc out an ex- istence will not como any othcr way. Society to all intents and purposes denies them any opportunity ot
 knowing anything except the ele- fments of arithmetic and tho rudi- ments of orthography. That So Imany add to these elementary features of. their education by pri- vate reading is to be set down to
 their crsditSas weii as to the here ditafy instinct of man to know the Ereason why. 94A
 Education, even a literary edu- cation despised as it is in thes. days of material culture, ought to
 be free to all. There's a mental sti
 mulant in the ability to be able to
 read and appreciate the work of the great men in ancient or moderI, times. Thought is certainly dynamic and it is dynamic whether discover
 ed in the music of poetry or the more
 varied measure of prose, just a.
 well as in mathematics, the sciences
 or technical training. There is nc
 good reason why when our lives can
 more readily acquire knowledge, we
 should have to go out in the worii
 to rustic out a living simply be-
 cause one Jim Hill did 1t and made
 millions in the doing it. There is
 every reason why the state would
 be infinitely better. of if the youtr
 of the land was properly conserved
 for educational purposes, in art and
 sciencc, in technical matters, SC Lthat a knowledge of the facts of hu man life might be imparted to all.

 There never is hold a congress of teachers or educators when some high h-browed wisdom pounder does not rise to read 2 diCsertaticn on Education, what it is, and what 1T should be.
 Thus the other day ct Milwaukee where the men who teach fore gathered to learn wisdom from one anothcr's lips, ono man discussing <this subject rose to romerk that Technical education should be given . moro important place in the pub lie school curriculum.
 He said that before he became a pedagogue, he had charge of an employment bureau. When an em- ploment shark, he said that every day the room would be full of un. employable men, and the roster would contain many unified jobs because the men ceeking work lack ed the technical ability to perform them. '~
 Apparently his ideal of conditions should be that every man you meet ought to be tradesman with the skill of his craft at his fingers ends, and when an employer wanted such a craftsman, the worker seeking 0 job would be able to come forward and fill the bill
 Doubtless that would solve a whole lot of trouble with the men out of work as it would still more effectively end the troubles of a number of employers who just d. nt want to fire a man because they can not get another equally skilled to take his place.
 It is the fact that still in some places the scarcity of such enables a number to get higher wages that worries the employers, and also wor- ries many and many pedagogue whose life work is serving employ CTS. | But suppose every man had a trade, seeing that tho number who could be employed would be not al all affected, increased or diminish ed, the situation would be better ed no way at all There are just 3 certain number of jobs to be filled and the rest take their chance wait ing till the other fellow quits foi the rest cure, or gets canned bS his boss.
