labor is entitled to practically all pub

Organized and unorganized labor

try. On this basis It Is entitled to

Labor has had substantially no voice

the present. It is time that labor had
an opportunity to prove whether the

minister public affairs.
the hands Of about per cent of the
people. representing the class which
capitalizes the product Of labor. and is
thus enabled to amass the bulk Of all
wealth. The time has come when this
condition must be changed and it can
only be changed by labor asserting it's
rights through political action.
Since the institution of government,
public offices have been held by oppo-
nents Of labor and manipulated to
cheat labor out Of its just share of
production and the rewarks Of its toll.
No change can be expected until labor
takes control of government and by
this means bring about a. reorganiza-
ton Of society and industry SO every
man and woman will get a reward
commensurate with the work they do
for the general good of industry.
For years labor. has pleaded and
begged Of old-guard politicians and
cliques for it's rights. It has got moth
ing unless the old-guarders wanted to
give it. No reason has ever been ad-
| vanced why labor should have to ask
| anybody for it's rights. The fact that
| it has had to do so is an unanswerable
argument in favor of labor going into
politics,
Labor is entitled. on every basis Of
justice and equity, to be the control
ling factor in this country. Properly
organized and led it can control. It
has failed to do so for the simple rea-
/
lacked leadership. At the same time
it has failed to appreciate it's power
or properly mobilize it's strength.
Through political action labor can
mobolize it's forces and assert it's
power, which it has a right to do.
The ruling element of society has
| retained control through the perfec-
ton of it's organization and the dipping
and misleading Of the big majority,
which has failed to see the advantage
of political action and been content
to take whatever those in power saw
fit to give. Any system which creates
such a situation is wrong and unfair.
The system can only be changed by
transferring the power of government
to the great producing classes, where
