The circular produced by Mr.. Nor
gan reads in part:
Railway Men and Port Workers.:
"Your leaders and bosses, the union,
newspapers and the government are
against you. That is to be expected.
But you are prepared for it.
"They said you were only workers.
railroad and port workers, and did not
care whether you earned enough to
live on or not. You were the kind
they could replace any day. But sud-
denly you struck, and they found that
you were among the most important in
the whole country.
by stopping work you kept food
supplies from reaching the city. In
the name of the dear 'commuter' they
said your action was crime. But
that is just your power-to cut off all
supplies. Remember that. You must
learn to use your powsr, and use it
we'll.
"Of course you are rebelling against
your leaders. What do they know
about working for low wage? Once
they worked, too, but they've long out
grown that. Now they have soft
snaps and are drawing good salaries.
Says U. S. Practiced Bluff
"In your name, your leaders made
agreements with the United States gov
ernment not to press the wage ques-
tion until the government brought the
cost of living down. Well you see it
has come down, skywards. The govern
nent tluffcd you. 1t knew very we'll it
strike. You've got to learn to strike
penny you gain will be swallowed up
Of on ind i+oto
millionaires of Wall Street"
"The government is using all its
motor trucks to scab on you. 1t is
going to call on private owners to fur
nlsh their trucks and drivers. Bank
ers, lawyers, college men are scabbing
on you. The government is going to
issue injunctions against you it will
prosecute you; Jail you and then will
come government troops.
Get a powerful number of your
fellows rebelling at the same time and
show them who you are. Tie up the
whole system. Show your mass power
But don't stop when you win this
strike. You've got to learn to strike
for more, for everything. Higher
wages and better conditions are not
going to free you. You will be the
same wage slaves as ever. And every
penny you gain will be Swallowed ur
by higher cost Of living, higher rent
etc.
All Capital Assailed
"Strike to put an end to the whole
capitalized system. Strike to take owe.
