CAPITALISM'S BEGGARS AND
 PAPERS.

The private ownership of the tools of production by the capital ists reduces the workers to beggars for jobs and ultimately sinks a large proportion Of them into pau pcrism.
 The beggar for job is ncce3Sar- fly scrvile to the owner of the job and cannot have the independence of man. He is an economic de pendent. an industrial subject, and if he is content to remain in that state his doom is sealed. He lives or rather exists primarily for the convenience and benefit of his master. He has none of the attri- nor has he any of the aspirations of man. He is to be bitter rath- CT than condemned for he is not only his own worst enemy but a millStone about the neck of his brother in slavery who is in revolt aad would if he could free be

WAGES AND PRICES.

The markets of the world can not buy the products Of modern machinery. if they run all the time. In other words. the machinery can produce faster than the wages 11aid can buy back Thus fac rory with 1000 men produces goods that the factory owner puts on the market at prices three times as much as the wages he paid his men for making them. As every factory. in every country, does the same you see the wages paid cannot buy the total products, and some of the factories shut down and you call it a crisis. But If thc prices on the goods were just what was paid for producing theln, VOL can see that the 1,000 men 1ould buy back with their wages all they had produced and so with all other factories and shops and mines, and there would be no ap. iareut reproduction.

MODERN FABLES.

 Two men by names of Jones .,ud smith owned ranches side by ~i,c. Both irrigated their lands wtth water from the same ditch.
 One day they got into dispute about the division of the water. Aitcr some threatening talk Jones says 10 Smith, "I have a couple of Aired men over at my ranch that gan lick your two hired men.'
 The challenge was promptly ac- .,epted and each rancher went to muster his army.
 Jones called his men, gave each of them gun and told them to to go over and shoot smiths hired men.
 But, said they we have no- thing against smiths mon, they have always treated us well"
 "Yes", replied Jones, but if don't fight Smith and his men they may come over and take this ranch and you Hill have to work for him.
 But the men insisted they would usl as soon work for Smith as he worked his men no harder and paid them as well as Jones.
 Thoreupon Jones got real mad, lle called his men "alacker3', said they took on pr.de in his (Jonea- .anch and said they were too cowardly to fight

to exist, beggars for just enough to keep them in condition to pro- duce wealth and comfort and lux ury for their masters, and when they have been exploited to the marrow of their bones and old age comes on they graduate into the army of paupcrs and are finally ticketcd for the pottersfeld,
 The hope of the working class, the hope of humanity, the hope Of the future lies in the revolt of ;he slaves against the system that robs impoverishes, insults and debases them. And the revolt we do not mean spasmodic outbreaks but pri- marily the spirit of resistence slav- cry, coupled with the resolute pur- pose to be free.
 To break their chains and eman- cipate themselves from class rule and exploitation the workers must first have power and to have power they must organize their industrial and political battled and keep on fighting these battles through good and evil report until they finally conquer their enemy, take possls- sion of their own, and make them selves the master and rulers of the world
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-12-10

Never while the workers give their votes to capitalist parties and allow themselves to be led by the nose by capitalist politicians will they be other than wage-slaves, the flower class" of capitalist society which the rich idlers, loafers and dead-bcats in the sO-called upper class look down upon with SCOTT and contempt. Stand up, MT Workingman, and resolve to join the party and the union of your class and do your share to put yor class in power and to drive slavery from the earth!
