AN EASIER WAY

A college professor who was always ready for a joke was asked by a student if he would like a good recipe for catching rabbits.
 "Why, yes" replied the professor. What is it ?"
 Well" said the student, you just crouch down behind a thick stone wall and make a noise like turnip."
 "That may be-" said the professor, with a twinkle in his eye, "but g better way than that would be for you to go and sit quietly in a bed of cab bage heads and look natural"

AUST A R R \ TO HAVE
one BIG UNION
FOR ALL
(By w. FRANCIS AHERN)

(By w. FRANCIS AHERN)
(From the Columbia Federationist of
October L o 1879 va
October IA next has been fixed as
the date for launching the One Big
Union scheme in Australia. For over
week the most momentuous trade
union congress has been sitting in
Sydney, Australia, drawing up the
preamble, constitution and machin-
cry of the One Big Union. 1t finished
its deliberations on August IL last,
appointed committee to enter upon
a campaign of propaganda with the
object of securing the adhesion of all
:he unions in Australia.
The scheme as adopted IT. Sydney,
Australia, will be forwarded to the
other Australian State Labor execu-
tives for ratification. After that an
Interstate Congress will take place,
and the complete scheme initiated.
The Preamble of the One Big
Union is as follows:
G) We hold that there is a class
struggle in society, and that the
struggle is caused by the capitalist
class owning the means of produc-
ton, to which the workers must have
access in order to live. The working
class produce all value. The greater
the share which the capitalist class
appropriates, the less remains for the
working class, therefore the interests
of the two classes are in constant con-
fict.
90 There can be no Deace as long
as want and hunger are found among
millions of working people, and the
few who constitute the employing
class have all the good things of life.
CD Between the two classes the
struggle must continue until capital
ism is abolished. Capitalism can only
in one class-conscieus economic Or
ganization to take and hold the
means of production by revolutionary
industrial and political action. REV
Olutionary action" means to secure
complete change, namely, the aboli-
ton of capitalistic class ownership
of the means of production-whethe
privately or through the State-and
the establishment in it's place of social
ownersip by the whole community.
ca The rapid accumulation OF
wealth and concentration of the own
ership of industries into fewer and
fewer hands made the trades unions
unable to cope with the ever-growing
power of the employing class, be-
cause craft-unionism fosters eondi-
lions which allow the employers to pit
one set of workers against another
set of workers in the same industry,
thereby defeating each in turn.
t5) These conditions can be
changed, and the interests of the
working class advanced, only by an
organization so constituted that all
its members in any one industry or in
all industries shall take concerted
action when deemed necessary, there
by making an injury to one the con-
Germ of all.
CO. We hold that as the working
class creates and operates the Soc
tally operated machinery of produc-
ton it should direct production and
determine working conditions
1t was resolved to send copy of
the preamble to all Industrial execu-
tives in the Commonwealth.
Congress then dealt with several
matters that had been sent along to
