a minimum total of $30.000000. OF
this amount the carefully computed
proportionate share that normally
should be contributed from this city
is $1,000.
The above apportionment may seem
large, but should every city and town
in the United States contribute its
full share as suggested, the total
would give to each dependent man,

than eight cents per day to meet the

The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-06-08

Of the machinery Ford was able to annex that excess labor over what was paid for in the form of wages, and the etcess values he produced and realized he called profits.
 He became a millionaire because ne had labor produce in his factory more values than was needed to pay labor the daily wage. And that IS how all employers make money. Through each employees labor over an above the wages, they make certain amount of money which are the profits of the undertakings Only those who own the land. the machinery or the factories or the capital in other words, can do this.
 Moreover they all do not make as much as, although some do make more tan does Ford. Ford simply drlVes labor to a Speedier pace and makes it more efficient, takes more out of labor, than does the other fellow, even though Ford pays higher wages than the other fellow.
 The articles Ford makes are ra- pidly consumed. His turn over is quick and certain. The labor em- ployed is constantly and accurately profitable and that is all. Hence he can subscribe literally to liberty loans. It is significant however that this comes from the surplus values produced by labor over what labor had to produce to pay itself wages. In other words instead ot paying 1t to labor Ford, like a first class steward of the Almighty un der capitalism, paid himself.
 It is the system.

ALMOST ANCIENT HISTORY.

After the talk of war, rumors ot war, draft and anti-conscriptior one comes suddenly upon this resolu- tion of Miss Jeanette Rankin author iGing the suffrage amendment to the constitution.
 It is almost as refreshing in these days of over worked military stienuosity to see such a resolution introduced, as to meet an old and permanent friend.
 IT, brings back the days of hunger strikes and window smashing and Panhursts and the like with all the mellow sweetness of the memory ot the past.
 1t had almost been forgotten that there were some women wanted suffrage. It was almost impressed upon the people that all the nation could think about was the war, and the draft and the food control and the speculation in war stocks and lHc liDtltN iodH It HIdheS one inhumanly antiquated to imagine that there are any persons who have time for a solitary idea beyond the drives, and the pushes and the lurges and the counters and the re- volts and the divers and the em- bargoes.
 Time was when men and women were accustomed to open the morn- ing paper and feed their appetite for the sensational with the marches of the suffrage armies, the attacks upon police, the forcible feeding and the window smashing devices of the militants. But those were the callow days when the human mind had not been cloyed by the sensational and before nothing sa- tisfed but windrows of dead ana mutilation atrocities that stimulate the imagination and excite the gorge of man these days.
 Those were the days before hu- man beings could appreciate the more cultured delights of the red arena where men tore one arother to pieces like wild beasts and the masses looked on where they were not fighting in a frenzy of excited exultation or dismay.
 Votes for Women-is it possible in these martial days that one has time for the consideration of any such topic. Or is it recess in the excitement of the time that fed to repletion with the butchery and the slaughter, the gorged mind turns to the philosophy of harm less politics and for relief considers this most simple of political ques- ! tion as it were an interlude in the | fearful pleasure of the mighty | drama oi the war

THE FIRST FLEET.

Quite soon now the first boats will arrive and the chechacoes will be with us. That as many will not arrive as in former years is likely correct. But none the less, the workers here should make an espe- cial effort to reach those who do come S., that the organizations of labor in this community may be properly strengthened. The main thing for the workers just now as ever is organization. It is essen- tial that this year an especial effort should be made to secure the CO., operation of all workers. so that they may be stronger than ever upon the economical field.
 It is true that most of those ar irving are likely to think more ot securing a job than of organizing, but if properly reached they can be shown that the immediate inter- ests which they have, even on the job, can be best protected and main- tained through labor solidarity that is to be achieved by organization.
 Outside labor organizations have made greater progress within the past six months than, relatively speaking, in the past six years be- fore.
 This is because the importance ot organization in these times is more readily recognized than ever, and the vital necessity of the workers having some means of up-holding their interests and protecting them selves is more clearly seen than ever before. For that reason the work of organization this year lo. cally ought to be the harder pres sed and ought also to be more easy

FORD'S SUBSCRIPTION.

Henry Ford, up-lifter. welfare worker and millionaire, has sub scribed five millions to the govern ment loaA. That is quite a pile ot money. A few years ago he had nothing. See, says Teacher, what a man who applies himself to lis work can do, and now little Willie say your prayers and when you grow up to be big man you will also do as Mir. Ford, God bless him, does, and you will also be able to subscribe five million dollars to the liberty loan. Amen.
 Five million dollars-it would take a wage worker mighty long time and with the ages of many Methusalems to accumulate that sum.
 It came to Henry Ford through his ownership of an auto plant wherein he could employ many men. He had a commodity which was in demand tain amount of raw material, that raw material was worked up by la Dor and machinery into a certain device which was wanted by the public The total cost of the wear and tear Of the machinery, of the raw material and the wages paid were less than the value of the ar- excess and unpaid labor in the com modity, but through the ownership

STIRRING TIMES.

Beyond any doubt the rresen,
 epoch is the most stirring in more
 than a century. When in the quie, Austrian town of Sara ;eyo an Aus
 trian Crown Prince was bor,bed b,
 conspirators, it did not immediatel,
 occur to any reporting the incident
 that here was an explosion that was
 to involve the universe. Yet un.
 occasionally so it was, and today
 lone of those who began the war
 can very clearly see its ending.
 When the story of this war comes
 to be written it will be written in
 two sections. That period dealing
 with the war for the original pur~ poses of its inception, and the war when it passed for beyond the do- main of it's original purpose and in- volved in strange ways, strange na- tions and, those nations originally engaged in a manner totally unfore- seen
 Almost every day we hear ot some new development in some sec tion of the war zone, in neutral countries or in countries wherein no such turmoil could have been expected and the later developments are coming on with quickening ra- pldity that in many ways over- shadow the simple facts of the fight ing.
 Above all and before all looms large this tremendous revolution in Russia, with it's uncertain develop ments and its evident attempt to give prolctarian expression to the loathing of the masses at the in justice and the sordidness of it all. In peaceful realms like Sweden we find forceful demonstrations against royalty and against imperialism and against class domination by class. In Germany are bread riots and May Day disturbances. The Austr1an capital is stirred by de- of the workers against the continuance of the war and are In Spain general | strikes and social disturbances of a | cast are reported de- | spite the effort to conceal the real | conditions. In France ther is a | marked uncertainty and cabinet changes follow proletarian protests. In Great Britain the Premier pro- nises to southe growing discon- ent. In Ireland only force suppress 'es insurrecticn. In Australia the | masses reject conscription with in- iignation and the votes of the very oldiers in the trenches turn down he proposal 10 the astonishmaat of

1 government. These are little facts | that leak out notwithstanding the
 caulking of the censor, and we may
 we'll understand that the real facts
 are much more ominous and occa- sion much graver concern.
 There is not a single power iii this war or out of it, can tell what is going to happen before normality returns again. The visions of world conquest, of peaceful trading and of international rivalry and com mercial alliances in view of these facts are becoming visions merely. Remote, they are, and elusive and uncertain.
 The wealth of the world so easily made use of by those who owned the world, is now being threatened by it's producers. Those who have been so long the pawns of every imperialist, crowned or uncrowned, those who have been the handy mi nions of ambition and social power, arc throwing off the yolk or are questioning it's right to exist.
 The passing of the Tzar marked much more than the passing of an emperor. It is too late to find sub stitute. In vain men declare that the people must have rulers. the people have begun to question the necessity themselves.
 Socialist, anarchist. conservative. liberal. autocrat and imperialist- all are academic things facing a realistic world which is not to be moved by formula. The creatures of the machine are nodded to it's image and insist that the unnecces- sary be eliminated The packers of burdens are asking why they must pack them, not Of those who insist ed upon placing it upon their backs but of them mselyes. The hewers ot wood and the drawers of waters " iiC PlCilIil ullN Supplleu lHOS6 WHO neither toiled nor span are now wondering why they should hew for any but themselves, or satisfy the thirst of any save those who In turn minister to their wants.
 It is apparent that against this revolutionary tendency something stronger than parchments and some thing more indestructible than scraps of paper are requisite. It is apparent that the impetus that starts a revolution is possessed of a momentum that will carry it far beyond the point originally intend ed by it's promoters.
 No person is insane enough to imagine surely that the Slavic races will establish an industrial demo- cracy and live in peace without con dominating the blood and iron neighbors who have built them selves an autocracy or an industrial

despotism. Quite otherwise indeed! And for that reason is the future so uncertain and the present so stirring. Likely enough it will pre- sently be much more strenuous and the stir will be universal.
