Class Rule Is Tyranny
No Matter Which Class

or the democratic representation of
all classes in government, a thing we
have been trying for many years to
achieve, the Labor party proposes to sub
stitute class domination by the manual
workers. This, of course, would not
mean that the manual workers would
really rule. 1t would mean that by wire
pulling and secret diplomacy small
band of self-seekers, not workers them
selves. claiming to speak in the name of
the working class, would control the.sit-
uation.
This has proved to be the case in Rus
STA. Was Lenine ever manual worker?
Was Trotzky? Did they ever give the
working people Of Russia an opportunity
to rule, or even to express their will in
an honest election? Yet in the name of
the working people these traitors have
plunged Russia into ruin and possible
slavery.
Both before and after the revolution
Russia tasted the bitterness of class rule.
Before she suffered from one kind of au-
tocracy, the irresponsible power of one
man and his advisers. After she suf-
fered the still more terrible autocracv of
Bolshevism, which is simply Czarism
turned about.
That Is the kind of autocracy a section
of the British Labor party wants to

by all sections of the community, can be

The British Boshevists demand con-
troll of industry by the workers; that is,
control by elected committees of workers,
as in Russia. The Women's party be-
imaginable way OF directing any prac-
teal enterprise. Control of industry by

the rich poorer. We see everything to be
gained by making the poor richer.
Against the Labor party's programme Of
conscription Of wealth we submit the
proposition of greater production Of
wealth.
The primary causes Of poverty are
underproduction and faulty distribution
Of wealth. Let Us take up the first cause,
underproduction. From the report OF
Parliamentary committee on coal conser-
walton quote the following:
"In the United Kingdom. in 1907, ac-
cording to the Census Of Production. page
10, the average output per worker was
loZ pounds per annum, and since this
sum has to provide not only the wages
OF the worker. bat also estab, .shmert

IS clear that the average wage must be
something very much less. probably not
more than half
1t must be plain that no mere redis-
tllbutIon OF existing wealth can abolish
poverty. AS long as the average output
per worker per annum is 102 pounds, no
possible redistribution could lead to the
abolition of poverty among Goa miners
There is not; under present conditions Of

The Labor politicians are little con-
cerned with the possibilities Of increas-
ing wealth production. although to all
thoughtful people it is evident that moth
ing else can ever relieve the mass of the
population from the burden of poverty.
The Labor politicians are content with
the present scale of production because
they are counting upon dispossessng

the largest personal share of the made

Military DOn'ts And Why's For the
Women of America During the War

Men can not win this war without
the help of ome
Don't confirm these old ISLANDERS:
Women talk too much" Women
can't keep a secret"
Don't pass along any information
that your men folk may carelessly or
trustfully pass along to- you.
Don't fail to report to the nearest
officer disloyal OF suspicious remarks
or behavior on the part OF anybody,
native or foreign.
Don't forget that some Of the most
dangerous enemies Of the country in
time of war are native Americans OF
the greatest sincerity.
Don't forget that this war will end
to u advantage only when it ends
with victory.
Don't get discouraged. A short war
and a hasty peace may cost another
war and greater loss Of lives than
cleaning up this war.
Don't let jealousy of other women
| whose men get to the front or are
kept at home make o suspicious of
motives or influences. The organiza-
lions and individuals are all parts OF a
complicated machine; each cog mus
fit in its place and move when needed.
Don't accuse the stay-at-homes OF
base motives. Many of them are
more eager to be abroad than some
that are there. The success of the
men in France depends IN the energy

in a trench a great many men are
needed in the rear, or the fighting
