New-York tribune., 1918-07-01

declared the child labor law uncon-
stitutional-a law secured after gears
o. education and agitation by all kinds
of people, and yet by majority of
one the Supreme Court, a body Of cor
roration lawyers with just one soi-
. tary exception. wiped it from the stat
to grind the blood of little children
into profit for the Junkers of Wall
Street, and this in a country that is
fighting to make democracy safe for
the world.
Look at Rockefeller. Every move
he makes hastens his doom. Every
time the capitalist tries to hinder the
, cause of Socialism he hurts himself.
] he Socialists have a great idea 1t is
spreading over the earth I. is as use
less to resist it as it is to resist the
rising sun.
Here ! hear your hearts responsive
to the Bolsheviki of Russia-those
heroic men and women who have. by
their sacrifices, added further lustre to
the international movement; those
Russian comrades who have made
more. who have shed more heroic
blood than any other like band of men
and women. They have held the first
real convention of any democracy that
ever drew breath. The first act of that
memorable revolution was to proclaim
! the kings, not to the rulers, but an
appeal to the people of all nations
"When Trotzky came into power he
found the secret treaties made between
the French government and the Brit
ish government and the Italian gov
/ ernment which was TO divide the ter
ritory of the Central Powers if the
Allies were victorious. and these secret
treaties have not been repudiated up
to this time. Very little has been said
about them in the American papers.
! This shows the purpose of the Allies
is exactly the purpose of the Central
Powers
"Wars have been waeed for plunder
for conquest and, since the feudal
ages along the Rhine. the feudal lords
made war upon each other. But they
! d,d not go to war any more than the
Wall Street junkers go to war Their
! predecessors declared the wars, but
their miserable serfs fought the wars.
Their serfs believed it was their
patr'o duty to wage war upon one
another.
"And that is war in nut shell. The
master class has always brought on a
war and the subject class has fought
the battles. The master class has had
all to gain and the subject class has
had little to lose and nothing to gain.
They have always taught you that it
is your patriotic duty to go to war. You
, have never had voice in the war The
working class. which makes the sacri-
fees. which sheds the blood. has never
yet had voice in declaring war. The
ruling class had always made the war
and made the peace
"Another bit of history want to
review is that of Rose Pastor Stokes
Rose Pastor Stokes never said word
she did not have a right to utter but
her message opened the eyes of the
/ people That must be suppressed.
That voice must be silenced Her trial
in a capitalist court was very farcical.
I What chance had she in corporation
court, with a put-up jury and a cor
poratlon tool on the bench?
They tell You there is coal famine.
The profiteers want scarcity of coal
The operators say there are no cars
and the railroads say there is no coal
and between them they defraud the
people.
"A change is needed, change from
despotsm to democracy, a change from
slavery to freedom, change from
brutehood to brotherhood TO accom-
plish this you have to organize, not
along the lines laid down by Sam Com
pers, through all his career on the side
of the capitalists
"Few men have the courage to saw
decent word for the l. w. w. I have.

1t is only necessary to brand man an
l.: W. w. to lynch him. Just think of
the state of mind for which the CAPT
tallstic press is responsible. When
Wall Street yells war you NAV rest
assured that every pulpit in the land
Will yell war. The press and the pull
