LIONS LED BY ASSES

The widespread strike of the coal
miners of Indiana and Illinois with
out the sanction of the officials Of
their union, or rather in spite q
the vehement protest of thei, Of
ficials, furnishes an interesting OBJ
ject lesson to the student of labor
unionism in war times.
At conference of representatives
of the government and the high Of
ficials of the miners union held in
Washington some weeks ago a con-
ditionaf increase of wages was grant
ed to the miners, the condition be-
ing, on the part of the operators who
were also party to the conference,
that the increase should be added
to the already exorbitant price of
coal.
The miners waited long and pa
tiently for some definite word as to
when the increase was to take eff
feet, and finally in sheer desperation,
being allowed to work only half
time and unable to meet the high
cost of everything, they went out
on strike. Frantically, the officials
of their union. from the highest to
the lowest, shrieked that the strike
was irregular" and that the miners
must go back to work at the old
wages. In vain did they protest that
they could not buy food for their
families nor send their children to
school for the want of clothes. All
such appeals to their officials fell
upon deaf ears. They must submit
at this time, even if their families
were on the verge of starvation. The
operators and their own union of
ficials were all in combination
against them-and all slowing away
three big fat meals a day.
Meanwhile the thieving operators
were charging robber rates for coal,
literally sandbagging the helpless
consumers to come across at their
rate.
The strike of these brave miners
on their own initiative with every
thing against them, including their
own high-salaried officials, is clear
case of lions led by asses.-Gene Debs

FROM MEMOIRS OF
A REVOLUTIONISTS"
(BY Peter Kropotkinl

III cNSiy boWH VI INuSSld, III every
quarter Of st. Petersburg, small
groups were formed for self i'm
provement and self education; the
works of the philosophers, the writ
ers of the economists, the researches
of the young Russian historical
school, were carefully read in these
circles, and the reading was fol-
lowed by endless discussions. The
aim of all that reading and discus
sion was to solve the great question
which rose before them-in what
way could they be useful to the
masses? Gradually they came to
the idea that the only way was to
settle among the people and to live
the peoples life. Young men went
into the villages as doctors, doctors
assistants, teachers, villages scribes,
even as agricultural laborers, black
smiths, woodcutters, and son on, and
tried to live there in closest contact
with the peasants. Girls passed
teachers examinations, learned mid
wifery or nursing, and went by the
hundreds into the villages, devoting
themselves entirely to the poorest
part of the population.
Here and there, small groups of
propagandists had settled in towns
and villages in various capacities.
Blacksmiths' shops and small farms
had been started, and young men of
the weather. classes worked in the
shops or on the farms, to be in daily
contact with the toiling masses. At
Moscow, number of young girls,
of rich families, who had studied at
the Zurich university and had start
ed separate organization, went
even so far as to enter cotton fac
tories, where they worked from four
teen to sixteen hours a day, and
lived in the factory barracks the
miserable life of the Russian factory
girls. 1t was grand movement, in
which, at the lowest estimate, from
two to three thousand persons took
an active part, while twice or thrice
as many sympathizers and supper
ters helped the active vanguard in
various ways. With good half of
that army our st. Petersburg circle
was in regular correspondence
ways, of course, in cipher.
The literature which could be pub
lished in Russia under a rigorous
censorship-the faintest hint of So
cialism being prohibited-was soon
found insufficient, and we started
printing office of our own abroad.
Pamphlets for the workers and the
peasants had to be written, and our
small literary committee" of which
was a member, had it's hands full
of work. Serghei wrote a couple
of such pamphlets-one in the Lam
menais style, and another contain
ing an exposition of Socialism in q
fairy tale-and both had a wide
circulation. The books and panfph-
let's which were printed abroad were
struggled into Russia by thousands,
stored at certain spots, and sent
out to the local circles, which dis
tributed them among the peasants
and the workers.

WHY | JOINED THE
SOCIALIST PARTY
BY II. s. BigeIow

The war has wrought in me, as
in many others, new purpose, a
purpose which finds more sympathy,
at the present time, in the Social
list party than in any other.
Personal and trivial aims seem
base now. Ones heart goes with
those mighty armies. One feels the
mystic power of the cross around
which surge the regiments of death.
The old battle cries no longer
rouse US. The old issues no longer
suffice. One is ashamed to play
the old game of political expediency
and party advantage.
Henceforth l want my life to
count to the utmost in the great
task that lies before us, the task
of destroying the seeds of war and
building a new social order.
A handful of people own the bulk
of the nations wealth. The great
majority live in poverty or on the
verge of it.
In the populous wards of every
big city there are teeming thousands
who pant for breath on summer
nights in quarters that would gag
and turn the stomach of a man used
to decent surroundings.
Here is one Cincinnati picture: A
woman standing over a cook stove.
She has an infant in her arms and
a child crying at her feet. 1t is 100
in the shade. In the same room with
the stove is bed an dtable set for
supper. This is the only room they
have. There are but two windows.
They face the west. The walls of the
building simmer with the heat The
afternoon sun beats in relentlessly.
The father has just come home from
work in nearby slaughter house.
The air is full of the stencil of
blood and offal, mingled with the
nauseating odors Of cloths and bed
ding redolent with the fumes of
victuals.
What of the sanctities of mar
riage? What of the sacredness of
home? What Of the holiness of
motherhood? What of the rights
of children? How can these flowers
take root in such soil?
This young mother has been
caught in the trap Of cruel cir
cumstance. Look at her and then
remember that another woman in
Cincinnati paid $24O,00O for pic
ture to hang on her wall.
The poverty of one woman and
the poulence of the other flow from
the same cause. 1t is robbery in
the name of law. 1t is injustice
avoidable, ii1excusabla, damnable.
While such injustice lasts there will
be hate and social strife and war.
The present order has come to
Judgment. This war is witness
against it. In the course of human
events the hour has come for new
declaration of independence. Our
fathers, traitors to the government
which claimed their obedience, bold
ly asserted, and defended with their
lives, the principle of political equal
ity. We now assert the principle OF
social democracy.
We are bound to admit that all
persons are equally entitled to life
liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness. We are bound to acknowledge
that the present social order dis.
tributes these blessings grudgingly
and with grave inequalities. 1t is
therefore our right. to alter or abol
ish this social order, and to insti
tute in its place, laying it's founda.
lions on such principles, and organ
izing its powers in such form as tc
us shall seem most likely to effect

OKLA.
ON THE MAP

TULSA, Okla--A crowd of mask
ed men in black robes. calling them
selves knights Of Liberty" took
II members Of the /. W. w. from
policemen early today, dashed them
with cat.0-nine-tails and then daubed
their bleeding backs with tar and
feathers.
The |. w. w. had been convicted
in police court of vagrancy and
fined 500 each. The trial lasted
until nearly midnight. The pris-
oners were being removed from the
Jail in three automobiles when the
black robed men held them up and
compelled the police to turn over the
men they were guarding.
1t is evident that men must learn
by experience, and that the average
business man is incapable of profit
ing by the experience of others. II
the Commercial club of Tulsa, Okla,
had learned from the experiences
Of the business men of Everett they
would not have committed the out
rage reported. But the whole in
Icident goes to prove that business
and businessmen are the same all
over the country, in fact, all over
the world.
The Tulsa knights of Liberty"
set out to crush the /. W. w. in the
same manner that was tried in Ev-
erett. Presumably the same re-
suits will follow. At the time of
the Everett affair the Wobblies we're
comparatively insignificant. Since
that time they have gained five
hundred per cent in membership in
the Northwest, and 500 to / in
Everett, which was out of all pro-
portion to their previous rate of in
crease. They have organized unions
in many new sections. And they
have become strong enough in the
Northwest to have established the
eight-hour day on the job in some
twenty-four camps.
Business men forget that the
method by which most men learn,
particularly those who have not had
much education, is by imitation.
Violence breeds violence. 1t can be
expected that the l. w. W. will
adopt the methods that are demon
strated to them; they are but hu-
man. Not, however, that they would
be likely to ape the vigilantes too
literally. That is, when they set
out to get revenge, they will not
work in conjunction with the police
department, the sheriff's office, or
the courts. The business men ac-
quired the right, or power, to use
the police, deputy sheriffs, and courts
through political action, and the
/ Wobhlies are religiously opposed to
using that kind of weapon. Hence
they use what they call Sabotage"
SO as to avoid detection.
We are not writing a brief. for
the l. w. w., but to show the folly
of the methods of business men in
dealing with them.

National Office A few days ago
we sent out an appeal for a con-
tribution of ten dollars from each
local and branch for the Liberty De-
Tense Fund. The money on that
fund has been coming in very slow,
perhaps because so many appeals
were recently sent out. This matter
is of the greatest Importance be-
cause it would be impossible to keep
our Comrades out of Jail unless we
get the means to do it with.--Adolph
Germer, Executive Secretary.
(Note)-We urge all Locals to
make special effort to comply with
the request of Comrade Germer.
Those who are being prosecuted for
their ideals must be defended. AL

the next victim, so the more you
contribute NOW the more you safe
guard your own liberty.
