today for owning producers profits have been never so vast and SO swollen and so enormous while for the masses of working produ- cers the wages never bore so small a relation to the value of the pro- duct.
 We infer that it is to bring ne cessaries within the reach of the workers as much as anything else, that President Wilson devised food bill wherein the power to fix prices is given the food control board. Obviously this is itself an admission that wages are made quate to purchase what a human being needs to live in decency. Ac- cordingly then we can turn to the financial journals and discover that profits were at no time so huge as at the present time, nor is there any reason to believe that they are to be decreased by the extension of big business tc the field of govern mont war contracts.
 There is the one remaining argu- ment. This is that the 1. w. w. in fomenting strikes during the war is guilty of reasonable acts, Of dis loyalty, of lack of patriotism. This argument can be built up on one premise only and that IS that the scale paid in any industry wherein it has in a measure aided in agitating strike, is commen- surate with the needs of the work CTS and bears a reasonable propor- ton to the profits made from the labor of those workers.
 Now no such premise can be con- ceded And unless we are to in sist that the workers are to take any and every condition an em- ployer making any and all the pro- fit he can, may please to give him, during wartiJne, the industrialists are really promoting the welfare of the people by drawing public atten- tion to the inequity that industrial ly prevails. If the employer is will ing to fcrego his profits, then sure ly and then alone, is it reasonable to expect the workers to take whai they get and be thankful it is no verse

Everything herein recited is fact reported duly by capitalist press agencies and admitted to De correct by persons wholly out Of sympathy with the organization.
 Now this paper is making no par ticular plea for the I. w. w., but it is always ready to advocate fair play and correct appraisement of the facts.
 And one thing that we are con vinced of is this, that it is not the methods employed by the Industrial Workers of the World, or the al legged crimes which are laid to it's door that occasions the outcry against 1t. but because of the fact that the organization in attacking the ab9minable industrial cOndi- tions that have prevailed in the lumber industry, in the construc- tion work and in many of the mines, is also striking at the pocket book of employers and hence these tears.
 Nor are we to be deluded at all that it is the patriotism of the em- ploying classes which is aroused. Any person that conccives that there is a glint of patriotism in bus mess might be well advised to turn to the Congressional record during the food bill debate and there read how they rushed to fatten upon government contracts and raised the price of everything the govern ment wanted from coal to shoe leather. They will read of some in teresting facts concerning the con- struct.on oi cantonments under the supervision of officers of the reserve who were formerly in the employ of the very contractors erecting them and they will read so much more that one Senator exclaimed ii it is this way few months after the war started. what is it going tC 1 be in two years.
 It is not, either, the dread of any
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-08-15

alleged violent methods that the employers fear in the l. ". w In the first place deliberate violence is opposed by them at every turn. While in strikes by other organiza- tions, rightly or wrongly excited, we lave to admit that hardly one passes without such occurrences. in the l. ". W. strikes hardly a case of violence hes ever been report d. TL4re was an Oregon cattieman who lost many of his, steers and he complained that he had incurred the antagouism of the I. ". W. and they poisoned them. The Oregon State Veterinary investigated the matter thoroughly and reported that the cattle were not poisoned.
 What is dreaded is the solidarity that the workers so organized dis play and the policy of non-resist ance that is so hard to resist. When men line up and mob violence en- sues they are easily handled. They can be shot down by the militia or the police authorities. But when they will do nothing of the kind, they present a difficulty which is not to be solved so easily.
 Now take the wages which have been paid in various industries and consider the fact that the commo- dities produced therein have been going up by leaps and bounds. Some of those commodities have been placed so high that they are not available, however necessary, to workers on the wages which they are paid.
 Whether the workers are orga nized or not, they will strike and they do strike. Innumerable cases can be brought to mind wherein that very condition did obtain. The strike in Butte for example began among men who had no organiza- tion The strike in the lumber ln- dustry affected very many camps where an 1. W. W. never set foot
 The fact is that conditions com pelled the workers to strike and not any such thing as the I w. w.
 Why here in Alaska the strike at the Kennicott mines was said to be the work of the 1. w. w. and after that charge proved false the work of Germans when it proved that there were neither Germans nor l. w. w. involved in it at all.
 But the Kennicott mines are the richest copper mines in the world and are paying the lowest wages
 in any copper mines over which the American flag flies, bar none.
 What We see before us is the
 very natural result that there Is a
 prosperity prevailing for the em-
 ploying and owning classes while there is hard work and inadequate wages for the masses of workers
 especially those who are not trades . men. What is needed is d higher . scale of pay and it is ridiculous to } think that by suppressing the I. w. : W. as an alleged criminal organiza- , ton. when the crimes have been | entirely with the employing classes the manifestations assigned to ;he : inddstrialists will cease
