WHAT RADICALS FIGHT FOR.

Popular opposition to the strikes
which are tying up eastern industrial
centers and actually spreading their
direct influences to the development
and advancement of this section, is
based primarily on the fact that the
strikes are occasioned by the counsel
of radicals within the ranks of or
gained labor. Strikes are largely in
strumental for holding living costs at
their present level in the face of gov
eminent efforts to reduce them. This
results from curtailed production.
Anything which relates to diving
costs comes very close to the hearts
and pocketbooks of the American pub
lie. Hence, sympathy has largely
fallen away from labor because of the
inevitable reaction idleness, increased
wages and shorter hours must have
on the cost of living:
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1919-11-14

In lieu of these facts, propagand
circulated by the l. w. w. and kindre
-adical organizations which are ad
nittedly largely responsible for tn
chaotic industrial situation, are G
public interest, Some of tn
policies advocated by those organize
ions are as follows:
Organize and put the boss in a
pair of overalls.
The six-hour day looks to to
the worker, and like HI to the
boss.
Boost for the six hour day.
The earth and the fullness
thereof belong to the workers!
Organize and take them.
If you strike against the
masters and lose, go back on the
job and organize your strength
for another battle and strike
again and again.
There are hundreds and thou
sands of your fellow workers who
would join our organization if
they really understood it's aims
and objects.
The time to organize is now.
Not tomorrow or next week or
next month.
Capitalism in Europe is slowly
dying and the workers are being
driven into the streets to fight
the police powers of the dying
states behind the barricades. 1t
is inevitable that the same con-
ditions win arise in this country,
but we have more time in which
to prepare for the cataclysm.
Prepare now while it is yet day,
"for the night cometh when no
man can work" i
Build your industrial organiza-
lions now and it will lessen the
shock or revolution and facilitate
the taking over of the means of
production and distribution of the
needs of life by the workers when
capitalism falls.
Industry cannot be run without
the Industrial Union. Build the
Industrial Union now and you
will not have to build it in the
chaos and anarchy and disorder
that will follow in the train of
revolution.
Industrial solidarity now means
more of peace and order in the
dark days ahead

Congress has apparently determined
that no anti-strike legislation shall be
included in the railroad bill. 1t is

of the government and one hundred

fled in the coal strike, will make rail

DANGER AHEAD.

The unceasing and, in many cases,
exorbitant wage demands of organized
labor may or may not be justified by
the increased cost Of living. That is a
question on which there are wide diff
ferences of opinion. But, whichever
view of the matter is correct, the wage
demands go on, the increases are

granted, the extra burden is passed
along to the consumer, and the cost of
living rises to correspondingly higher
levels.
Labor, both organized and unor-
ganized, has gained, not lost, by the
war. Higher wage standards once es-
tablished do not come down. Once up
always up, is the rule. And while
labor has thus been the gamer and
not the loser by the war upheavals,
the same is true of the farmer. Tie
prices of farm products, particularly
cotton, grain and live stock. have gone
PUP by leaps and bounds. The farmers
have more money to spend, more
luxuries within their reach than they
had known for decades before the
war broke out
Neither are the very rich nor the
bankers war sufferers. Such bankers
as handled foreign government bust

taxed asa high as from SO to rs per

not deny themselves anything. In
all these quarters money-spending is
going on at a prodicious pace. Hotels
