 Why is 1t that the greatest men of the ages have been nailed to the cross, bdrned at the stake. hung by the neck, shct to death against cold stone walls of fortress? Why? Because the misintcrmation pCddled to the workers in the guise of "edu@ation" has reduced them 10 the leyo, ot cattle Thier dumb worship ot the law their humble adoration of the morality of their masters their slavish subservience 10 the retichcs set up by the boss. politics, religion, patriotism, etc., has practically castrated :hem in tcllectually, taking from them the fighting spirit oi their enc astors who roarcd and ragged the forests looking for chance 10 dispute the supremacy oI an uut3go0.st. The modem wage slave IS creature of the yoke, dt only for tac collar of sLbseryienoy. He produces all, and smirks si|lilv when the boss hands him a certain stipend in the form oi wages. He is crluger a eraWler, thing to be despisad- - and he is Gcspised by the boss and ly the small minority who have left in their veins the virls of FIGHT. 1T il were moi necessary that the smirking slaves have rebellion pounded into their heads in order 10 mako possible the rebellion ol the minority they could go to the devil and none would mourn them. But il SO happens that it IS reces- sary to at least ln part educate and organize this bunch of unwilling tools and it is the work of the militant majority to do just this IL would be much more pleasant 10 pound their wooden skulls with meat axe. but UTILITY is the only god left to the minority, and ne must be served
 The time is at hand when the minority, well organized intelligent resourccful, will proceed to ACT, and for every rebel murdered will take toll iron those rosponeiNlc for his murder, Noi that the minority will resolve itsclt merely into an execution committee It's chief function is to control industry and lble for the boss to slay where and WLcn he chooses.

ORGANIZED LABOR.

fl organized labor had a plat form setting forth what it wants and it's members were educated to understand what those demands meant, it could muster two million of votes and to this would be ad- ded million more sympathizers
 Such a party would threaten both olG parties and they would make haste to cater tG them, and would not only ndke hut would begin to enforce all immediate demands that did not threaten to do away with the capitalist classs entirely. Or Sani2ed labor would no longer need to employ lobby at .he state and national capitals. Sucn tre- mendous vote would hurry the old party members to catch the labor breeze in their sails and conces- sions galore would be theirs for the asking Never by begging can tabor get anything worth having. Sc long as labor votes the capital ist tickets. it says to the capital ist politicians that il is satisfied With their laws, their injunction and their fealty to the master class Why should the politicians then change their practice Of s,rv

 long hours and low wasvs and then
 voting for the old parties who have
 been ignoring these .hings in the
 interest of the master class? The
 work people have the voting power and the physical power to back it
 up whenever they are willing to use this power against their masters
 But when they vote the masters tickets, why should they organize against the masters wages and hours atd conditions? I should like to have the labor leaders answer this question.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-12-01

Wi,h Modern machinery, lahor produces five times as much goods for each days labor as It did a hundred years ago It lived then poor though it was, and supported the great armies and hordes of no- bilitics that had fastened them selves on their backs. Today labor should not work more than four hours day to produce everything it could use. But the work lay is almost as long as it was then, and the poverty today. in cities, even greater than it was then. If the work people will do ress worN and more thinking for themselves they will have a great deal more of this worlds goods and gladncss than they now have They work too much and permit the press, the pc liticians, and the pulpit, to do their thinking for them.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-12-01

The hlman family, if each abld
 bodied adult will do his or her share of the work. can produce in three hours day every article that every person may desire or can consume. Then why work ten or eight hours a day, which only re. suits in enabling the rich to pile up millions they cannot use and will not permit those who can to use. Away with such ar insane system.

YOUNG GENERALS

Chicago Herald: General Pershing
wants young commanders in France.
He asked that no general officers over
IS be detailed to the American expe-
Aitionary force. The request, which it
IS reported will be honored by the pres
ident, must inevitably bring disap'
pointment to many good old soldiers.
But it is in line with the American
military tradition as we'll as with the
experience Of our allies in this war.
ULYSSES S. Grant was only 80 when
he became brigadier general. !. d.
Sheridan was just 81. w. T. Sherman
was Al: On the southern side ]. E. B.
Stuart the cavalry leader, reached his
generalshin at %. Lee, on the other
hand would have been excluded by the
rule, as he was As when he reached his
high command.
But Washington was % when he
commanded the colonial troops on the
frontier campaign Of 1855, and he was
ONLY 43 when he was made commander
in-chief of the American forces in the
war of the revolution. Our Ally OF
that period, Marquis de Lafayette,
was barely 20 when he was made
major general by the Continental con-
gress. Andrew Jackson was 45 when
the war OF 1912 began, but he had long
been a good soldier.
American records are paralleled by
many of the most famous military
leaders of history. Napoleon was 36
when a single exploit gave him COM
mand of the army Of the interior. The
Duke of Wellington became a major
general at the age of 33 for his ex-
ploits in India. Alexander the Great
was 18 when his first great victory
was won.. Hannibal was % when he
succeeded his father, who was killed
in "Lousitania.' Caesar likewise was
% when he won renown at Mytilene. .
The list might be extended ondlessly
and possibly, another which proved
precisely the opposite could bo built
up. For General Joffre was deep in
the sixties when he saved civilization
at the Marne, and the enemy's mill
tary genius, Won Hindenburg, has pass
ed three score and ten. But Pershing
wants young men, and he will get
them.

ENEMY Tries FLOOD

GERMANS DESPERATELY ENDEA-
voR TO CHECK BRITISH az
BARRIER OF WATER.
RETREAT ALL ARRANGED FOR
Seeing Loss OF Passchendaele Ridge
Teutons Work Night and Day
on Dam to, Flood the
~ Ground.

With the British Armies in Flanders,
Oct. 1S.-Whfle General Haig's guns
and men break the German hold on
Passchendaele ridge, the Germans are
striving desperately to throw against
the ever-encroaching advance the bar
rier which the Belgians successfully
invoked to stop the Teutonic hordes
of 1914.
The enemy is working night and
day, rushing to completion a dam two
miles above Nieuport by which they
hope to flood the ground beyond
Passchendaele ridge.
The very desperation with which
they are carrying out this plan, cou-
pied with extreme "jumpiness," which
the Boche shows every hour of the
day, is due to the knowledge that Ger.
man troops cannot hold Passcheudaele
ridge much longer, ii the British con.
tinue their push.
Planning for Retreat.
Imprisoned German officers, exam.
1ned admitted as much. One said,
however, that plans had been laid so
that if the Germans were forced to
relinQuish the high ground, they would
retreat five miles further to prepared
positions.
One evidence of how the enemy is
'rattled,'' comes in the failure of his
favorite mode Of defense, counter-at'
tacks. They have been few and far
between and have been absurdly weak.
One of many proofs that the Ger.
man artillery is disorganized was fur.
nished on one sector. There a Ger.
man bombardment, which lasted 36
hours, did not cost the British sin.
gle casualty.
British Gas Deadly.
At least 10000 shots must have
been fired, at a cost of $1,250, ,000-
not including wear and tear on Ger.
man guns. This latter item, as United
Press dispatches have heretofore de.
tailed, is not inconsiderable with Ger.
many as short of metal as she is now.
BY strange twist Of fate, the Brit,
ish gas is now working havoc with
the enemy throughout all this "Ypres
ector"-exactly the same portion of
the great Western battle front where
the Germans first used this devilish
c0ntriVance of war;.
