Freedom Of speech and press is
more in peril today than they have
been since the sun went down in
the evening Of the long night Of the
Dark Ages. We are now in the

pull down the pillars in the temple

This abomination of destruction,
this whitening scourge of misery and
starvation is already stalking up and

devastation where nothing can grow
or flourish save the deadly henbanc

1t was not designated as a holi-

created and is maintained by the

1t is the only holiday that is not

the coming day when these divi-

Because the workers have come
to know that governments today are
instruments Of the ruling class. be-
cause they have seen the flags of
national governments floating above
bull pens and amid rifle barrels
from which death belched forth up-
on them when they dared to ask
from their masters more Of the
wealth they produced, because of
these things the workers have come
to realize that divisions marked bv
boundary posts upon the earth are
less important than divisions drawn
between eXploiters and exploited.

MILITARISM

War can do many things, but it
cannot end war. No peace can be
a conclusive peace: it is beyond the
wit Of man to draw a treaty Of
peace which will make it impossible
for war to recur between Britain
and either her present enemies or
her present allies. The destruction
of militarism cannot be attained by
military triumph; war is the Gre
ator, the sustainer, and the reason
for-eXistence Of militarism.- Der

ELECTRICAL WORKERS
GET BEHIND PAPER

The Everett Commercial Club are
determined to put The Northwest
Worker out Of business, Some act
i've members of that club have been
visiting our advertisers in order to
induce them to withdraw their sup
port from this paper. Last week
five withdrew their advertising and
quite a number of others are unde-
cided.
This was explained ut the local
meeting of the Electrical Workers
Union last Thursday and the boys
got real mad. After the meeting
they visited one of the advertisers
who had withdrawn, and told him
that the local was going to fine ev-
cry member who patronized him five
dollars. Half an hour after this we
were passing the store and the man
ager called us in and told us to put
his ad back into the paper.
The merchants who are still ad-
vertising in the paper are doing So
in defiance of the Commercial Club
and we want our readers to make
the actions Of the club known to ev-
erybody and to get all the support
they can to the merchants who are
standing by US. This is going to be
a fight for life. 1t will take the
Commercial Club at least six months
to drive this paper to the wall at
the present rate Of progress and that
means that The Northwest Worker
will survive the right, for we can
gather enough support to the paper
in that time to insure us against
suspension.
The Northwest Worker has been
in the field seven years and it is
in the field to stay. We may be
compelled to make a few changes in
the makeup of the paper if the Com
mercial Club continues its activities
but it is absolutely impossible 70,
them to make US suspend.
We earnestly request every one OF
our readers to make a note of the
advertisers in this weeks paper anC
