A CRUEL WORLD

We must confess that this is n cruel
world. Last week our hopes were
high. We received news, and publish
eel same, to the effect that the Seattle
Herald had returned TO the Socialist
ranks and we were led TO believe that
Seattle radicals had had enough Of
yellowism and non-partisanism and
that, like good little boys, they would
behave themselves.
But 10 and behold our hopes were
shattered, We admit we might have
known better but most of us cling to
hopes just as y drowning man does to
a straw. We kere just human and ex-
pected too much, SO we must unbur-
den ourselves with news that is dis
appointing to all,
DR.. +. j. Brown has had himself
elected editor of the Seattle Herald.
We are not going to try and tell our
readers what kind of a paper he will
edit, but we are of the opinion that it
will not be Socialist paper.
Mr.. Golden, the manager, is still on
the job and as long as the publishing
company owes him several thousand
dollars, which he has managed by
some means or other to owe himself,
he will stay on the job, If the stock
holders fire the manager, they may
lose the plant to Mr.. Golden. Which,
to say the least, is a very bad state
of affairs-that is for the stockhold-
ers. And there we are again. Stock
holders are only human and can easily
be duped.
We understand that quite number
of the stockholders of the company
are Socialists. Well, we have not
much respect for Socialists that will
stand for this kind of monkey bust
ness. The Socialist movement can
easily be the spawning ground for
crooks and traitors and if the Social
lists fail to have their affairs run in
business-like way, then they have
no one else to blame but themselves.
Let this be lesson and may it
reach home.

Trafton, Wash, June 5, 1916
Northwest Worker, Everett, Wash.
Dear Comrades: Just few lines in
reference to the progress of our local.
We held our regular meeting June
4th., II a. M, had election of officers;
Mrs. Ida Clapsadle was elected Sec
rotary, Mrs. Anna Macy elected trea-
surer, Charles Donahue, Organizer.
Motion was made and carried that
Local Trafton give Social and
Dance, Saturday, June the 10th for
the benefit of the county campaign"
We enjoyed few minutes talk by
Comrade Moody on organization.
Comrade Moody's unexpected appear
ance in the midst Of our meeting was
certainly great pleasure as well as
"A surprise, and he received a hearty
welcome from all the comrades.
There isn't anything the Trafton
comrades enjoy more than having the
outside comrades visit our local, es-
pecially the comrades from Everett,
Monroe and other distant places.
After the meeting we adjourned to
the dining room to a fine lunch.
Yours for the Revolution,
CORA DONAHUE,
Trafton, Wash.

OUR APPEAL FAILS

We are returning the money con-
tributed to the Mailing Machine fund
because we realize the uselessness of
trying to raise the money. If we were
trying to sell gold brick or sell stock
in fake company, the money would
be sent in mighty quick, but when it
comes to putting money into some
thing that will benefit the whole So
ciaiist movement and will become the
property of the Socialist Party, there
is nothing doing.
We thank those who have cheerfully
donated and would request the COM
rade whose name was not published
to send in his name and address to
this office and we will refund his dol
lar.

THE SEATTLE HERALD RETURNS
TO SOCIALISM (?) FOR SUCKERS

n Juggling report to the stockholders
Of the meeting.
The word Comrades swectly pro-
nounced and relocated at the annual
meeting of the stockholders, flew
thicker and faster than do the bullets
at Verdun.
After prolonged discussion of
generalities, the announcement of the
resignation of the editor, the change
of the policy of the Herald back to
Socialism, was decided amid roars of
laughter, apologies on the part of
those stockholders who favored the
change and vigorous protest on the
part of the stockholders who are
members of the Socialist Party, who
argued that the change is not made
in all sincerity and that assurances
must be given first before they can
get the support of the members of the
party. Also definite stand as to the
support of the Socialist Party as well
as its candidates.
A postponement for an adjourned
meeting to be held ON the following
Saturday and also the manager in
structed to confer with prospective
editors.
At the meeting held last Saturday
the members of the party pressed
hard for the resignation of the board
of directors or n majority of them.
But nothing moved. They also in
sisted on a definite settlement as to
what kind of Socialism the Herald
would propagate. The reply was
abuse and insulting terms abiding to
the state candidates as well as to the
party.
Mr.. (Dr.) +. j. Brown being given
the floor as a prospective editor to
vouch his views, viciously attacked
the party, the candidates and S. f..
committee. He also urged and advo-
Gated a Social Democratic party for
this state.
He further informed those present
that he has secreted in his safe a
portion of information that if publish
ed in the Herald, it would send the
Socialist Party to the rocks.
In turn he was reminded by one of
the members of the party, that he has
been trying to do that for long while
by using the capitalist press, but failed
miserably.
At the conclusion of the debates the
board of directors were instructed to
engage Mr.. Brown for editor.
To further test their sincerity a
member of the party made a motion
that the Herald support the candi-
dates of the Socialist party. 1t was
tabled.
Yes, the Herald has returned to
the Socialist Ranks" for prey. But
the members of the party are awake
and alert this time.

Secretary.

THE SEATTLE HERALD

The word is going out over the
state that the Seattle Herald has re-
turned to the Socialist ranks. Well,
that is what the present and past ad-
ministration said they were DESTROYS
of doing. But considering the fact
that they have just returned from the
non-partisan league where the pie and
doughnuts appeared more abundant,
we would think otherwise. But some
thing slipped, and now they seek the
same from the people who not only
set them up in business, but who were
so traitorously, morally and financial
ly, delivered into the hands of their
enemies.
With the exception of Oscar McGill,
who resigned as member of the
board of directors and thereby showed
his consciousness, and o. L. Anderson,
who resigned as editor, and the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Gasman and DR.. E. j..
Brown to fill the foregoing respective
vacancies, the administration remains
the same. With the present person
mel of the Herald sanctioned by vote
Of the stockholders in mass meeting,
can the Socialists of the state have
any guarantee whatsoever that the
Herald will not go chasing twill O. the
wisps" in the future as they have in
the past, totally disregarding the
principles of international Socialism

DEBS TO CONGRESS

One of the biggest campaigns in the
history of the Socialist movement is
now being waged in the Fifth Con-
gressional district of Indiana.
One of the plans is to put every
voter in that district on the mailing
list of the American Socialist. This
sum will be raised by donations.
Another plan is to lombard every
voting farmer in the district, there
being $4,000, and every miner, about
10000, with literature.
And another plan is to send all the
big guns to that district to lecture
Among those selected are Walter
Thomas Mills, Allan l.. Benson, Geo.
r. Kirkpatrick, Daniel w. Hosfn and
George d. Brewer.

WHO LOSES?!

The Everett Commercial Club en-
dorsed the open shop resolution of its
directors and now organized labor
has thrown down the gauntlet.
We do not believe that the Everett
merchants voted for the resolution
because the noise of the ayes came
from just one corner of the room and
there seemed to be some. bark in the
noise.
Naturally the merchants were
chicken-hearted All the bankers We're
there and these men favored the res
olution, and bankers and merchants
must always be on good terms. Hence
the silence when the votes of those
against were called for.
Organized labor has challenged the
merchant to come across" with his
signature to its resolution as printed
elsewhere in this paper. Now what
can the merchants do? We must ad-
nit that they are between the devil
and the deep sea. If they sign the
resolution they get in bad with Big
Business and if they fail to sign it
they get in bad with organized labor.
And that is just where this compel
tive system gets us. The merchants
Gated by the Socialists, and most
members of organized labor would
sooner toll and sweat under a COM
petitive system than help usher in a
system wherein an hour or two's
work would be enough to provide
every human being with everything
that the genius of man can produce.
And so both sides are playing a
losing game. The cost of living ad-
vanced per cent last year but wages
remained practically the same, hence
the purchasing power of the worker
decreased, and then the business man
wonders why trade is so bad. And yet
when the wage slave revolts in order
to get little more hay and oats the
business man Immediately sides with
the manufacturer and makes another
big hole in his own meal ticket.
So there is only one thing for the
merchant to do under the present sys-
tenn, and that is to keep in the good
books of the working class 1t is a
case of the survival of the fittest.
The business man who is wise enough
to realize who buffers his bread will
sign organized labor's resolution. He
who is not wise enough will suffer
the consequences.
But the cause of the trouble has not
been removed by removing the enc
mics of organized labor. The mer-
chant who goes out of business be-
comes competitor in the labor mar
ket, and as there are always more
men than jobs he or the slave whose
job he gets, either becomes hobo or
suicide.
There is only one solution to the
problem, and that is, the collective
ownership of the things collectively
used for the production of wealth.
Today we collectively produce the
wealth of the world, but the few bene-
fit by it, because those few own the
means of production. If we collective
ly produce, there is no reason in the
world why we should not collectively
own and thereby give an equal oppor-
tunity to every human being to pro-
duce and enjoy the good things of life.
That is Socialism and it is the one and
only solution to most all the evils of
present day society.
