THE CREED OF FOSTER,
3 THE SYNDICALIST

At last the American people are
awake and are beginning to burn
with indignation that will soon kindle
into the white heat of anger. The
man who reused the American giant
from his long slumber was Foster, the
syndicalist. In his book Foster is
really describing himself, "the syn
dicalist considers the state a meddl-
ing, capitalistic institution. He re-
sists its tyrannical interference with
his affairs and proposes to exclude it
from the future society. He is rad
ical opponent of law and order; as he
knows that for his unions to be legal
in their tactics would be for them to
become important. He recognizes no
right of the capitalists to their prop
erty and is going to strip them of it,
law or no law" Later Foster advo-
Gates seven things: race suicide, sa-
botage, murder, anarchy, destruction
of God, government and property.
Having inscribed upon his banner the
principle of red revolution, Foster
bids his followers prepare for the
coming revolution.
First, Foster says: 'The syndical-
list is a race suicide" He knows that
children are detriment to him in his
daily struggle, and that by rearing
them he is at once tying a milestone
about his neck, and furnishing new
supply of slaves to capitalism. He,
therefore, refuses to- commit this
double error and carries on an ex-
tensive campaign to limit births
among workers. He was a powerful
factor in reducing births in France,
which, according to recent statistics,
are annually $4,000 less than the
deaths. He is turned from his course

CALLS ATTENTION TO ERROR

Rosa, La, Nov. %, 1919.
Editor Star-Progress, Opelousas, La. :
Dear Sir-In your issue of the
22d, under the caption, "Mr. Boagni
Suggests Way for City to Get Road"
this paragraph appears:
"Mr. Boagni suggests that in
view of the fact that the parish
wide good roads proposition APP
pears to be a failure, the three
road districts between the Avoy-
elles and Lafayette parish lines
be combined In this manner st.
Landry could offer sufficient in
ducements to the officials of the
Pershing Way Association to Sc
cure for this parish one of the
principal national highways"
Now, as a matter of fact, this par
ish has already secured not only Q
national, but the great international
the jefferson Highway! All done and
secured by the fourth ward alone
The fourth ward embraces very
nearly one-half of the parish and
pays one-quarter of the taxes. Hence
it seems to me rather poor policy to
forget or to try to block our effort
AS l am creditably informed that one
of your leading illegal lights" did &c
before the state highway department
few weeks since and argued fol
some hours, trying to get or induce
the department or Mr.. Buie to aban.
don the jefferson Highway and adopt
the EvangeIine Highway and Span,
ish Trail.
Mr.. Editor, how is that for high
have made these comments because
from the wording of the above quoted
paragraph it would appear as if this
old parish had not been given s
chance to get, or had been barred
from, all national highways. Now
Mr.. Editor, think it is about time TO,
Opelousas and the entire parish tt
learn that with too many irons in thu
fire some will burn. Wake up! hell
US, then we will help you! We viii
meet you more than half way ant
give you a connecting road to the in
ternational Jefferson Highway.
Yours truly,
KEMP T. CATLETT.

neither by the inspired warning OF
physicians nor the paid appeals of
patriots. He has no race pride and
but little fear. He sees in Grace sui
eide" an effective method of fighting
his masters; therefore, he uses it.
Foster also believes in sabotage.
This principle, he thinks, will be very
effective in forcing the capitalists
and the owner of a house or factory
or store to give them up. Fosters
advice is to throw monkey wrench
into the printing press-the monkey
wrench cost fifty cents the big press
thousands of dollars. Put sand IN the
bearings of automobiles ;the sand rep
resenting two cents the automobile
two or three thousand dollars. II the
workmen viii only be patient and
keep on he can finally ruin the auto
and drive it's owner to despair. Other
well known forms of sabotage are
spontaneous combustion in the store
or the factory through well oiled rags,
closely confined, so that the gases
can not escape. Soap on the locomo-
tive wheel also, can make the train
late. And what with some forty or
fifty methods of this kind, carefully
carried out, the inventor will throw
up his hands the manufacturer either
break his health or his heart or his
hope. After that the sydicalist can
take over the property and own it,
though of course, no one later must
be allowed to practice sabotage on
HIM!
Then comes his creed: "To hell
with God, government and property.
The next logical step, of course, after
race suicide and anarchy and murder
and sabotage is the rebellion against
God, government and property. I'm
fortunately, no one knows just how
Foster can send the Eternal God to
Hades. That French revolutionist
had precisely the same spirit. One
day, after the guillotine had cut off
the heads of many property owners
whom he disliked, the revolutionist
swore out a writ of arrest and went
from one evil resort of the radicals
to another, saying that he had "a
writ of arrest for one surnamed
God" About that time one of his
fellow revolutionists became con-
WINGED of the radicals hypocrisy and
fired pistol at him, carrying away
one eye and part of his temple and
practically blinded the. other eye.
After that his enemy, watching the
blind man, used to cry out cynically,
"Well, the tables seem turned! A
Being bearing the name of God

New York, Nov. 15.-The joint
meeting of the board of directors and
the paper committee Of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
held in the office of the Boston
Globe in the World building, follow
ed the same general line at the meet
ING of the executive committee Of the
Southern Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION, held in Nashville a week
earlier. :,
After considerable discussion 1t
was decided to send representative
from the paper committee to cali on
the officers of the international Pa
per Company and urge the prorating
of the proposed reduced production
of the International for 1920.
The committee also recommended
that all publishers Immediately inau-
purate a campaign for paper saving.
The office of the American Newspa-
per Publishers Association here will
Immediately send out copy to all pub
fishers, members and non-members as
well, for carrying on this campaign.
Another resolution was passed sug-
costing marked increases in adver-
Using rates as means for keeping
down the volume of newsprint con-
sumption, and it was also suggested
that wherever local conditions make
it practicable or desirable that sub
scription rates be increased in the
larger cities thus to mean a cent
basis daily paper and 10-cent Sun
day paper.
It developed in the discussion that
Pittsburg, which has been selling the
Sunday paper for 10 cents for some
time will shortly go to cent ba-
sis for the weekday issue while there
was some opinion against an increase
in the selling price to the newspaper
reader, the weight of opinion was to
the effect that the 3-cent paper is in
evitable.
The newsprint situation apparently
becomes more desperate daily. The
best price quoted here this week is
z IL cents f. o. b. the mill, and deal
ers say that the spot market is like
" to be 8 cents within very short
time.
Information before the paper COM
mittee of the A. N. P. A. indicates
that at the present rate Of consump-
ton it is not possible for the demand
to be supplied next year. Thus far
newspapers able to pay the price have
found some means for securing a sup
ply. 1t does not follow, however, that
this will continue to be the case. The
prospect is without a reduction in
consumption it will not be possible
for all of the newspapers of the Unit.
ed States to secure paper to ruT
through March on the present basis
of consumption. 1t is estimated that
less than fifty papers of the country
are now assured of an adequate sup
ply for 1920. This means that those
papers able to contract for part Of
their supply are already in the spot
market for January consumption
There is the prospect, therefore, thai
there will be an active spot market
from now until production increases
to the point that will enable publish
ers to make contracts adequate fol
their demands. It is estimated thai
it will take two years for mill con
struction to catch up
