Takes the Place of the Soldier In TIT
Home.


The work of the home service sec
ton has been not so much to provide
money, however, as to help the fami-
lies of soldiers get from the govern
ment their allotments and allowances.
II an emergency arises, however, and
extra money is needed which the al
lotment will not cover, the Red Cross
lends the money. In fact this section
tries to take the place of the man
who has gone to war. In cases of ut
ter restitution the department gives
funds.
The purpose of the bureau is to give
information or legal. medical and any
other possible aid to families of men
in military or naval service, without
charge, in addition to financial assist
ance to dependent families.
Many requests pour in to the Offices
for addresses of soldiers or requests
for the department to find the extent
of soldiers wounds. The home sec
ton is able to get detailed informa-
ton on these points.
The section has a service of cor
rnunication with relatives in enemy
countries and can taxi personal mes
sages and transmit them to these PEG
rIe. AS yet not much has been done
along this line.

THE ONLY ESCAPE.

It is through their private own ership of industries (the trusts)
 that the capitalists are able to rob the people. So long as they are permitted to privately own these in dustrits (the trusts) so long will they possess this power to rob. And rest assured they will never hesi- tate about using this power to the utmost limit. Socialism is the only remedy. There is no other way to escape. When all the people own and manage the industries, through the government, all the people will get the profits that now go to the capitalists. They will get them either by an increase i'll wages or a lowering of prices, or both. Do you want this change? Work for it!

ELIMINATING POVERTY.

Socialism is criticism of exist ing society which attributes most of the poverty, vice, crime and other social evils of today to the fact that through the private or class owner ship of the social forces of produc- tion and exchange, the actual pro- ducers of wealth are exploited by a class of non-producers; a theory of social evolution according to which the rate and disrection of social evolution are mainly determined by the development of the econom- ic factors of production, distributa- tion of society will be distinguished by the social ownership and con trol of the principal agencies of production and exchange, and by the equalization of opportunity as a result of this socialization; a move ment primarily consisting of mem- bers of the wealth-producing class, which seeks to control all the DOW CTS of the State and to bring about the collective ownership and control of the principal means of produc- tion and Gchange, in order that pow erty, class antagonisms, vice and other ill results of the existing SOC ial system may be abolished and that new and better social order may be attained.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-01-09
THE UNEMPLOYED.

The competition of workers for jobs has resulted practically in a subsistence wage for the workers. The workers are ubd to club each other into suhmIssicn, because there are not enough jobs to go around, That is why the capital ists are able to use the disemployed to threaten the employed. It will be remedied wher the people get sense enough to do away with pri- vste ownership of the large scale industries. Under Socialism, there will be no unemployed. Therefore, the scale of wages will be high and the standard of living will bo excellent.

A TRADE UNION OF KAISERS.

What is this engine that is grind ing humanity to pulp? Who are the devils instruments whose hands are on the levers? What have we to do to deliver men who simply cent world from the monster that controls them and butchers them at its will? At the root of it all is it not the fact that the nations are in the grip of the Dynasts? This un- happy Europe is caught in the tangle of web spun by trade union of kai5ers that has its agent in every court and its kand on every spring of power.

The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-01-09

This is machine age. This is also a monopolistic age. The ma chine-which is in reality a bless ing---is a curse under the present system because the capitalists have strangle hold on the people The future will be a machine age, le- cause machinery will be used more than ever, Eut the machinery of production and distribution will be- long to the masses, not to the classes.

ARE MEN EQUAL?

No, VIC do not believe that all men are equal. They aren't. Edi- son is superoir tc H. Thaw. Christ was superior Co Judas. Rockefeller Is not in par with Helen Keller.

Men are not eau al They will always have more, or fewer capabilities than his neighbor
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-01-09

We do not strive for social equal lty. We aim for social security for all human beings. Each individual, under a just system, must be sure of his right to make a living. That is more than equality; that is social security. In other words, it is eau ality of opportunity, not social eau ality that counts.
