 B. J. ponders.
 U. S.-R you drop a tumbler full of water into it-
 B. J-No; no explosion will then follow.
 U. S.-And the gunpowders explo- sive powers
 B J.-Will be at an end thereafter.
 U. S.-Just so in this gunpowder so- cial system that our race has been living in. The successive victories of the several classes were so many lighted matches of different compost ton dropped into it; explosions" had to follow; that is, class distinctions, with all the conflicts and hatreds thereby implied had to continue. Why? Because the program that each of those different classes brought along with it, obedient to the law of it's own existence, was class war program. It was because they were all based upon principle that was the Pri- VATE OWNERSHIP OF THE THINGS NEEDED TO EARN A LIV- ING BY. With the working class it is otherwise; the program that it is bound to bring along with it is COL LECTIVE OWNERSHIP OF THE THINGS TO EARN A LIVING BY Thus the victory of the working class necessarily means the abolition of class distinctions the wiping out of class wars, the laying of the only foundation possible for Peace on Earth Good will among Men" Catch on?.
 B. J.-Somewhat?

Sinus, the Socialists prin- ciples alone are the principles that the not seasoned with hatred, but are sea- soned with love; all other political and economic movements, on the con- trary, whatever their name, whatever their pretenses are the ones that are seasoned with hatred; each and all of them cling to the PRIVATE OWNER SHIP OF THE THINGS NEEDED TO EARN A LIVING BY; consequently all start from are built from anB built upon, the source of all class hatred.

 B. J.-Very well; and what, pray, do you call that if not seasoning a good principle with hatred, class hatred? |? How can one class win without an- other losing?
 |. S.-It simply cant be done; right you are in that.
 B. J.-Now, how can you deny that that sort of thing is a seasoning of hatred? Classes are bad things; where they exist, rows. conflicts, hatred must be What would be the use of wiping out one class to set up another?
 [. S.--Now you begin to talk sense.
 B. J-There then Vou agree don't you that this getting up of one class andsetting down of another keeps up class rows and hatred?

 B. J.-Well, I'm glad to hear you say so. That's what I meant.
 |. S.-And, if that means anything, it means that you suppose the victory of the working class would be similar to the victories of all other classes; a change of oppressors.
 E. J.-That's it.

It is poor policy for anyone who enjoys the benefit of membership fn an active, aggressive union, to lay back and leave the work of bringing new members into the un- ion entirely in the hands of the Secretary.
 Every member of the union should he alive to his own interests suffi- ciently to know that the stronger the organization becomes the better chance he as an individual will have to better his condition.
 The union, the membership of which leaves the work of extend ing and building up the Organiza- tion entirely to it's officers, is gener- ally a half baked, vacillating aggre- gation, capable of accomplishing very little for the welfare of it's members.
 It's meetings are generally poorly attended and the making of motions and the carrying on of debates are left to a few of the old timers.
 Personal differences and petty squabbles often occupy the attention of those present during the greater part of the meeting to the exclusion of the more important questions of the day. The reason this state of affairs often exists is because many of the individual members of the un- ion are generally so busy in the effort to hold down their jobs, or attending to other buslness,' that they can't find time to spare to attend meetings to aid in raising of labor or otherwise better the conditions of himself and his fellow wage workers. He holds up his hands in horror when a fellow member has the nerve to ask his aid in getting applicants among those who have not yet joined the union.
 On the other hand, when the majority of the members of any un- ion place the welfare of the union as a whole above their own two-by- four jobs and never relax in their efforts to rustic new members, that union will be so far ahead Of the one We have just pictured that there is no comparison. Its members are

generally working under the best possible conditions, the best paid and the most highly respected undesir- able citizens of the community. They have learned from experience that working for the benefit of all results in the betterment of the con dition of the individual.
 Each meeting oT the union, is largely attended and many heated arguments are entered into among those present. Yes personal differences will crop up as they will in every gathering or men, but they are quickly pushed into the back ground when a question concerning the welfare Of the organ ization, or the Nome Industrial Worker as whole is bought up. When the meting is over each mem Der is firmly resolved to work at unioinism throughout the week, just as hard as he did during the meet ing.
 In the case of the unions it IS just as easy and much more satis factory, to have the latter kind as it is to have the former.
 Many members of Local 240, are at present idle If they don't want to face a similar condition neyl summer, it will be well for them Q bear in mind that thorough or ganizaticn of all camps must he effected during the winter months, preparatory for similar action dur ing the summer months. The off cers of the union cannot accomplish this without the aid of every mem Der of the union working on the creeks.
 If the man working beside you fails to put in his application immediately after his first payday, make it your business to lind out the reason why, and bring ever! possible pressure to bear on him with the object of getting him to join the union The boss finds an easy mark in the man who is afraid to talk unionism to hs fellow worker for fear of losing his job.
 The attitude of the individual member is largely the attitude of the union as whole. if every member of Local 240 will do the best he can to get in new members between now and the opening of nav igation. as there is such a splendid opportunity to thoroughly organ ize the camp, because even the non-union man is desirous of quit

ting after he has slaved for eight consecutive hours, and the sooner he realizes it, the better, it's only through organization that the en- forcement of the eight hour law can be accomplished.
 In a few months the union can be made stronger than it has been since it was started. {

GENIUS AND WORK.

When the great Italian musical com

Nero unfinished, although he de-
clared or his deathbed that it needed
only couple of hours work on it,
Yet it was commenced forty years
before and had been on the point of
production many times. The composer
could not satisfy himself, as he in
tended ii to be his masterpiece.
Amid the ruins of the capitol at
Rome, October 10, 1854, Edward Glib
bon formed resolve to write The
Decline and Fall of .the Roman EN-
pire." and the night of June q, 1877,
nearly twenty-three years later, in the
summer house of his garden, the last
word was written, but in those labor

DREAD OF POVERTY.

A great deal OF apparent poverty
comes from dread Of poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry and. ten to one, he is
starving somebody else at the same
time. along with himself. He is
really poor, for the time being. al
though he has a large bank account.
Poverty viii come every time as the
result of the improper attitude to-
ward money. Money is not a real
ity; it represents things that we con-
slider for our good. Bat there is no
poverty like that of the starved soul
that shrinks and dries up into mar
rowness and compression. In get
ting the feeling of wealth, look
about you, See all the wonders of
nature; believe that wonders win
happen and then get ready for them.
After the days work is done build
air castles, and then go in and lay
strong foundation under one of
them. Expect to develop into eff
cheney necessary for the bigger job,
The key TO this lies in your hands
in doing the little things well.-Pat'

THE GREATEST in HISTORY.

The coming great peace conference
will surpass any in history; not only
because. of the tremendous import
ance of the issues with which it must
deal, but also literally in size. lndi-
cations are that the United States
government will be represented by at
least half a dozen principals, with a
numerous body of secretaries, coun-
sellers. translators and clerks, and it
is assumed that even the smallest of
the nations which will participate will
seek to make show in point of num-
Der of delegates.
This fact may involve the transac-
ton of most of the business of the
conference by selected committees,
which will represent in their compo-
sition every element and whose re-
ports will come before the full con-
ference for ratification.
AS to the place of meeting there is
yet much doubt. with many claimants
for that honor. While it has been
urged that the conference gather in
some historic spot in France, objec
tion may lie against that proposition
based on the generally accepted view
that such meetings should be held al
point where they can be quite free
from the charge of any local influ
ence; in other words, it should be or
neutral territory, and even some OF
that territory is regarded as insult
