to meet that he feels like paying. But
will he always stand for it? We all
know the story Of the worm that
turned. In my minds eye can clear
" see one of two things coming t"
the earth and coming quickly. Either
the complete organization of class one
and two for the complete destruction
of the other into which all OF class
three will be drawn either to one side
or the other and will result in the total
destruction of one and nearly all OF
the other, until as the Bible tells us,
there will be but few left, or some
mighty man of power shall rise up
from class three and before it is too
late will quietly, quickly and efficient
fly organize the middle against both
ends and go forth with their masks
if necessary and their little coils OF
hemp-and make the world safe for
society and common decency.
There are only two ways in which
this can be done. One is by arbitra-
ton the other brute force. My bellef
is that the power lies within class
three at present and especially IN the
u. S. l prefer the former by all
means, so long as there is sclntilia
of hope for it, and believe there is
yet hope, but it must come from the
goat. Any proposals from class one
to class two is simply Haunting red
bandana in the face Of an already en-
ragged bull and vice versa, any propos-
al from either side would have the
same effect as Bro. Ford's peace party
had on Kaiser Bill.
j Yet there may be some man or some
mon in class three who could go before
the coal miners and the steel workers
and all the other dissatisfied workers
in American today and by showing
, them the error in their ways induce
them to return to work before it is
eyerlastingly too late for some who
!, are already feeling the pinch OF colo
and hunger, they might be able 70
convince the operators that they were
, far enough in the wrong to get some
, concessions from them and thus ge'
the wheels of production started again
If this cannot possibly be done ther
7 think it is time for the goat to fully
!. wake up to take the bull by the horns
and clean up the town.
