FIGHTING FOR
HIGHER PRICES
Plutocracy Decides That the Workers
Standard of Living Must Be
Reduced; Workers Say
Alright

The war tax bill, which has just
passed the house and is now in the
hands of the senate, carries an ap-
preparation Of ISL 100000.
This sum is staggering. Not one
really understands the significance
of this sum and still fewer will
realize that this huge tax will
bring more misery, hatred, over
work and degeneration.
And this is what the great ma
jority of Americans voted for and
are today wearing red crosses and
American flags for. They are be-
ing ground down under the heels
of the American plutocrats and
they seem to like it.
There is not any shortage in food
supplies, yet prices are away up al
most out of reach, The country
is just loaded down with all the
necessaries of life, but the pluto
Gratis control the markets.
Right on top of the two hundred
and fifty billion dollars worth of
wealth of this country sits THE
AMERICAN AUTOCRACY, around
the base Of the pile Of wealth stands
THE AMERICAN POLICE, MILL
TARY AND JUDICIAL POWERS
and beyond that pile Of wealth
stands bunch Of locooed, ignorant,
docile, plutocrat worshipping slaves
who are ready to defend the rights
of the American autocrats at all
times.
And these same slaves have pro-
duced every cents worth of those
billions of dollars worth of wealth.
We defy contradiction on this point
But the wage-worker, or in other
words, wage-slave, has allowed the
master class and the protitute press
to do so much of his thinking for
him, that whatever they say is right,
is never doubted by the twentieth
century slave.

THE GATES OF OUR
FUTURE

Swing inward, O gates of the futurel
Swing outward, ye doors of the
pastl
For the soul Of the people is moving
And rising from slumber at last;
The black forms of night are re-
treating,
The white peaks have signaled
the day,
And freedom her long roll is beat
ing
And calling her sons to the fray.
The soil tells the same fruitful story,
The seasons their bountes display,
And the flowers lift their faces in
glory
TO catch the warm kisses of day.
While our fellows are treated as
cattle
That are muzzled while treading
the corn,
And millions sink down in life's
battle
With a sigh for the day they
were born.
Swing inward, o gates of the future!
SWING outward, We doors OF the
past!
A giant is waking from slumber
And rending his letters at last.
From the dust where his proud ty-
rants found him,
Unhonored and scorned and be-
trayed,
He shall rise with sunlight around
him
And rule in the realm he has made.
Swing inward, 0 gates till the
morning
Shall paint the brown mountains
in gold,
Till the life and the love Of the new
time
Shall conquer the hate of the old

mer president of the Central Labor
Council, and an employe in the city
light department, have been ar

BULGARIA, WEARY OF
WAR, WANTS PEACE

News that Bulgaria is sick of the
conflict, and will never declare war
on the United States, was brought
to this country by the passengers
of one of two Spanish liners, which
arrived at an Atlantic port.
Two women, returning to America
after a long period of Red Cross
nursing in Russia and Bulgaria, said
that the Bulgars are anxious for
peace. These women enjoyed the
confidence of the Queen and 9TH
ers high in court circles at Sofia.
All Of the countries we passed
through are tired of war;" said one
of the nurses, "but none more so
than little Bulgaria, which has been
battered from all sides"

FOOD SHARKS
WAKING FAT
Spectators Playing Desperate Game
With Government Who Refuses
to See Them.
(By Gibson Gardner.)

WASHINGTON-The food specu-
lator is now playing tag with gov
eminent officials. The question is,
Can he be caught? The food specu-
lator is primarily responsible for the
high cost of living.
A lot has been said and written
about crop shortage, and there is a
good deal of truth in what has been
said but the Spectator is much
more important factor than the short
age.
For instance, the federal trade
commission has been informed that
the pack of canned goods last year
was about the size of the record pack
for 20 years. Yet canned goods
have advanced by leaps and bounds,
and what the producer sold for IS
cents is now selling for 1886.
Big Profits Added
A car load Of peas left California
few days ago. The first profit
added to the car was 500. Since
then $500 has been added to that
car, and it is still on its way to the
consumer.
There is a pound of butter in cold
storage in Boston which went in at
% cents. It's market quotation is
now 43 cents, and this profit has
been already absorbed by some half
dozen middlemen.
These middlemen enjoy such desig-
nations as buyers, brokers, jobbers,
wholesalers and transportation men.
Frequently the transportation agency,
the warehouse trade and the whole
/ CO q n ttsIh al tCt,
and these add a big profit between
producer and consumer.
Grocer Not the Criminal
The little corner grocer is not the
criminal. Evidences Of crime may
generally be found in the quantity of
/ loot possessed. If the corner grocer
were adding the big profits which
make cost Of living high, he would be
living in the big broWnstone house
/ If he is, he will bear watching. If
he is not, look for the man who
/ is.
The government knows the price OF
