With him the end justliies the
means. Whether his tactics be
legal and moral or not does not
concern him, so long as they are
effective. He knows that the laws.
os well as the current code OF
morals, are made by his mortal
enemies, and considers himself
about as much bound by them as
a householder would himself by
regulations regarding burglary
adopted by an association OF house
breakers. Consequently he ignores
them (the laws and the currenD
code OF morals) In so far as he is
able and II suits his purpose. lie
proposes TO develop, regardless OF
capitalist conceptions OF legality,
fairness right &c, greater
power than his capitalist enemies
have; and then to wrest from them
by force the industries they have
stolen from him by force and du-
plicity and so to put an end forever
to the wages system. He proposes
TO bring about the revolution by
the general strike"
After dwelling upon the power OF
the workers TO paralyze the delicately
adjusted capitalist society and the in
ability OF the forces of law and order
in the old sense-tO cope with the
revolutonists, Mr.. Foster proceeds to
show what an easy job OF organization
IL will be:
Preliminary organization un-
questiOnably aids very materially

great strikes-which differ only in
degree from the general strike
prove to us that this preliminary
organization by no means has TO be
so thorough as the objectOrs insist.
They show us that vast masses Of
unOrganized workers can be readily
provoked into revolt by the con-
tagiOus example OF few, and also
that these workers, once on strike,
are in a few days easily and ef-
fectiyely organized though for
years untold efforts have been ex-
pended 10 organize them.
In all probability the general strike,
at least in its incipient stages, will
follow the course that any number
Of modern great strikes have taken.
Only a small part OF the workers
will be organized; this organized
fraction under some strong
stimulus, will promote a great
strike; vast masses OF unorganized
workers, seeing an opportunity to
better their conditions, and caught
in the general cOntaglon OF revolt,
will Join the strike, organizing
themselves meanwhile; the strike
will spread; society will be par
alyzed, and the revolutionary work
ers, perceiying their power, will
proceed 10 put an end TO capital
ism"
BlOodshedY or course; but that is
negllgle incident in the view OF Mr..
William z. Fosters lawless Syndical-
Nm:
Another favorite objection OF ul-
ira legal and peaceful Socialists is
thai the general strike would cause
bloOdshed. This is probably true,
as every great strike is accompanied
by violence. Every forward pace
humanity has taken has been gained
at the cost OF untold suffering and
loss Of life, and the accomplishment
OF the revolution will probably be
no exception. Bat the prospect OF
blOOdshed does not frighten the
Syndiealist worker, as il does the

hopes ana intends to be entirely fail

citizens are beginning 10 understand, ]:

the committee organizing this strike
and apparently the prime factor In thf
unparalleled movement now an expert
mental fact; he Is also a theOrist and
propagandist and prophet Of theindus-

We have exhibited some interesting
and significant extracts from a red
covered pamphlet on Syndicolism said
TO have been written by William 4.
Foster in collaboration with Earl C.
Ford and published at twenty-five cents
by Mr.. Foster himself, his advertised
place OF business being 1900 South
Paulina street Chicago. A further
showing Of Mr.. Fosters sentiments and
spirit may be instructive at this time.
Of direct action as cOntrasled with
political action Mr. Fosters treatise
says:
IT is the interest Of the capi-
'talislic class TO rob the workers OF
as much OF their products as pOssi-
bic, and the interest Of the workers
10 prevent this robbery as far as
they can. guerilla warfare
known as the class struggle and
evidenced by many strikes work
ing class political eruptions and
the many acts of oppression COM
milted by capitalists upon their
workers. constantly goes on be-
tween these opposing classes The
capitalists. who are heartlessneSs
and cupidity personifled, being the
dominant class Of society and the
shapers Of It's Institutions, have or
ganized the whole fabric of society
with a view to keeping the work
ing class in slavery. II is therefore
evident that IL the workers are to
become free 10 must be through
their own efforts and directly
against those ~ he capitalists.
Hence The revolutionary slogan,
THE emancipation Of the workers
must be wrought by the workers
themselves
10 goes without saying that for
the workers lo overthrow capital
ism they must be thoroughly or
ganized 10 exert their combined
might Ever since the Inception Of
the revolutionary idea the necessity
for this organization has been real
iZed by progressive workingman
and they have expended untold ef-
forts 10 bring II about.
These efforts have been. almost
entirely directed into the building
Of working class political parties TO
rapture the State-it being believed
that with such a party in control Of
The state The latter could be used TO
appropriate the capitalists. The So
cialist parties in the various cen
ters have been laboriOusly built
with This dea,in view. But Of late
years, among revolulionists, there
has been a pronounced revolution
against this program. Working
class political action is rapidly COM
ing TO be recognized as even worse
than useless, II Is heing superseded
by the direct action Of unions"

to the exclusion OF all third par
ties, such as politicians, &c"
We do not apologize for the length
OF the extracts we. are making from Mr
Fosters little red book. To condense
or 10 paraphrase these uttcrances
would perhaps be 20 misrepresent him
linintentionally and thus to do him in
justice as a thinker and as a leader. Our
readers are beginning TO get a clear
idea Of what Syndlcalism means In the
lexicon Of revolutionary labor aid OF
what direct action" means as distln-
gu.shed from the methods OF Organiza-
tos and legitimate self-protectlOn with
which the community has been mare
familiar in the past. We now come to
this ierse and significant indication OF
Syndlcaisms goal:
"1'he Syndicalism movement is
labor union movement, which, in
addition TO lighting the everyday
battles OF the working class, in
tends TO overthrow capitalism and
reorganize society in \such a man
ner that exploitation Of man by
man through the wages system
shall cease. The latter phase OF
this triple task-the establishment
OF society worthy OF the human
race-is the real goal Of Syndical-
ism and the end 10 which all its ef-
forts are finally spent
The State itself must go:
"The Syndlcalst sees in the State
only an instrument OF oppression
hnnn1inrr 1rtnfp N fcf cfuatnn ~ in
dustry and proposes TO exclude 1t
from the future society. He sees no
need for any general supervising
governmental body, and intends
that the workers in each industry
shall manage the affairs Of their
own industry: the miners shall
manage the mines: the railroaders
manage the railroads. and so on
through all lines Of human ac-
tivity."
We shall now follow Mr.. William z.
Foster into the discussion OF the prac-
tical means to be adopted by labor or
ganized and militant for the purposes
avowed in his red pamphlet. We have
already given our readers some idea Of
his notions on the subject Of sabotage

luton, the general strike. These are
Mr.. Fosters teachings about the scope
and spirit Of the general strike:
'IIe lthe Syndicalist) knows that
in modern society, as in all ages,
might is right, and that the capi-
i1lists hold the industries they have
stolen and daily perpetrate the rob
berry OF the wages system simply
because they have the economic
pewer TO do so. He has fathomed
the current system of ethics and
MORALS, and knows them TO be Just
so many auXiliaries of the eapitaI-
ist class. Consequently he has east
them aside and has placed his reIa-
tions with the capitalists upon a
basis OF naked power"
The bold face is The suns. not Mr..
William Y. Fosters. They illuminate
what follows:
IN his choice OF weapons to fight
his capitalist enemies the syndical-
ist is no more careful 10 select those
that are fair Just or civilized
than is a householder attacked in
the night by a burglar. He knows
he is engaged i'm a life and death
struggle with an absolutely law
less and unscrupulous enemy. and

standpoint Of their effectiveness.

risk it once, II necessary, in his
own behalf. He has no sentimental
regards for what may happen to his
enemies during the general strike
He leaves them to worry over the
details"
ONe more extract from Mr.. William
Z. Fosters detailed program, as pre-
sented in his pamphlet, must suflce for
today:
"The general strike will not be
broken by the workers beng
starved into submission, as is often
objected. The general strike will
be so devastated I'm its effects that
II can last only few days. during
which period, IL need be, the work
ers, accustomed as they are to star
walton, and sustained by the en-
thusiasm OF the revolution, could
live on the most meagre cations.
TO get these rations the Syndcalists
intend to cOnflscate, as far as DOS
sible, all provisions found in the
cities. They Will also encourage
the numerous poor farmers, tenants
and agricultural wage workers 10
cast their fortunes with them, to
revolt against the State, their land
lords and employers and TO seize
the land they occupy. Until pro-
duction is normally resumed the
Syndicalists will trade TO these
farmers the amassed wealth OF the
cities for their foodstufts. More
than one revolution has been
starved out by the farmers refusing
TO part with their products in ex-
change for worthless paper money.
The Syndicalists have learned this
lesson well and intend 10 give the
farmers the substantial cOmmOdi-
ties they desire in exchange for
their products. The army will be
so busy protecting capitalist prop
erty and so permeated with rebel
lion that it will be at once incapa-
BILE and unwilling to prevent this
method Of provisioning the revolu-
tlon."
This frank program OF wholesale
robbery, OF violence, Of murder, OF
treason in She name OF Industrial revo-
luton is sealed and certified by
"W. Il. FOSTER.

purposes. We do not know how. long II

able doctrines and precepts which he
disseminated from Chicago in his red

STEPHENS REPORTS
 RUSTLING OF CATTLE

According to Edward w. Stephens, secretary of the state livestock sani- tary board, the state inspectors along the New Mexico and Arizona line have been very active at present in running down the cattle rustlers operating be- tween the two states. w. l.. Platt, inspector for the St. Johns district, re- gently advised that he is holding a man who gives his name as Ben Tucker, on charge of rustling.
 Tucker claims that cattle which he had brought from New Mexico were his own and he was selling them to the butchers for immediate slaughter. Platt upon investigating is said to have found that Tucker has no title to the cattle concerned, and the brands of these cattle had not even been re- corded by the New Mexico cattle board.
 Many complaints have been received by the state livestock sanitary board during the last few days and the board is using all diligence in advis- ing their inspectors along the Ari- zona--New Mexico line to make thor ough investigations into all alleged rustling complaints.

Der hose at the top and bottom of the radiator.
 The third detail of care is to. re. pack the stuffing box around the pump shaft after the packing is used up. From time to time this box will leak as the packing wears. It will be suffi- cient to turn the nut with wrench just enough to stop the leak. The shaft will score if the nut is set up too tight. Every time it leaks the box is frightened slightly until the packing is all worn out. The cover must then be removed and new packing inserted. Preferably this should be graphite as- bestos. The packing should be forced in evenly and the cover replaced. It should not be necessary to repack for several months.
 If the cover of the pump leaks, and tightening the screws does not remedy it, a new gasket must be refitted. This may be cut from ordinary wrapping paper.

SIMPLE METHOD OF
 CLEANING COMMUTATOR

It is difficult to get at commutators as rule, due to the small opening at the commutator end of generator or starting motor. This requires that some simple tool be made to get the commutator through one of the brush holder openings. The easiest way to do this is to take the cover of a cigar box or small thin wood stock and make small paddle about or 6 inches long and about half the width of the brush holder. To use this sim pie arrangement for cleaning genera tor commutators, first remove the most accessible generator brush and then wrap a strip of No. co sand paper over the end of the paddle and use it through the brush holder when the engine is running as one would use hand lathe tool. This will thor oughly clean the commutator and do it evenly. Under no circumstances use emery cloth or electrical cloth, as emery is a conductor and will short the commutator.

HENDERSON PURSUED
 BY HARD-LUCK NEMESIS

Seabird Henderson, who is watch man at the employees gardens of the Inspiration Copper Co., seems to be pursued by ill-luck recently. A short time ago a fire burned the house in which the Henderson family lived in the gardens. The loss was consider able, including a piano and many val uable articles of house furnishings and many small articles which in the aggregate meant a considerable loss.
 And he has recently been several times robbed.
 Monday night an offer went to Lower Miami to investigate robbery which had occurred at the Garden Market, which Mrs. Henderson looks after. It is said that MT. Hender- son was taking care of the market at the time when Mexican came up. He stood about for while and when Mir. Henderson turned away for minute succeeded in getting away with some $15 which was in the till. Mir. Hep- derson did not observe the Mexican particularly; he only noticed that he wore overalls.

AUTOM0B BILE NEWS
AUTOS HAVE TRAINS
 BEATEN IN MANY WAYS

It is almost certainty that the American citizen, were he asked, would declare that the seating capa- city and mileage of the combined au- tomobiles of the country are far less than that of all the passenger trains of the United States. A few authentic figures, however, will serve to prove this an illusion and to show that the nations automobiles in point of mile age and carrying capacity greatly ex- ceed the rilroads.
 "The figures show that there are 6.000,000 automobiles in use in the United States today" says Joe Wald- haus, representative of the Oakland "6." "This indicates that an average mileage of 5000, which is quite low. equals 18,000, 900 ,000 miles per annum. which, multiplied by an average of three passengers. means that the total passenger mileage is 54,000, ,000,00
 "The passenger mileage of automo- piles exceeds that of the railroads by over 10000 ,000, 900 miles. The latest available figures show the official rail- road passenger mileage was 32,384.- 247.563. Automobiles. on the basis of 300 days of use and an average or only two passengers carried 3,600,- 900 900 persons compared with the railroads' total of 976.303, SOP.
 "The seating capacity of the 6.000- 900 automobiles in use in the United States is estimated at not less than 30.000. 900 persons. The total seating capacity of railroad cars. of which there are 55.705. is about 3.5000O0 persons. To carry the passengers now transported by automobiles would re- quire 60.000 new passenger coaches and 14,972 new locomotives at com bined cost of s1,1s4, 900 900, to say nothing of the operating expense, tracks, depots and employees"
