Lincoln's Wealth at Time
of Death Was $110,296.80

Do you know that Abraham Lincoln
was a bit of blOated bond holder in
his day? He was. That is when you
consider the purchasing power Of a
dollar in his time to that Of the pres
ent. Old records In the county court
at Springfield, ILL.,, list the martyred
presidents accumulated wealth at his
death at $110, 296.80. That was pref
ty good lump in 1865. President Lin
coin left no will. The money was
equally distributed among three rela-
tives-Mrs. Lincoln, Robert T. Lincoln
and Thomas Lincoln, each receiving
6.765.6O. The money was in bonds
and cash. Notes for money loaned APP
proximating 5000 are listed in the
administrators papers as worthless"

Tidal Wave Has Nothing
to Do With the Tides

Tidal wave has nothing to do with
the tides. ANY great onrush OF the
sea that overwhelms the land is called
a tidal wave. Such waves may be
due to various causes. They may rep
resent a heaping up of masses of wa
ter by hurricane of wind; or an
earthquake under the sea may be the
cause. Submarine volcanic erup-
tons are of not very infrequent &C.
currenee, and earthquakes are liable
to accompany them. Or a mere Slip
ping of strata in the. sea floor may
cause earthquakes. If. incidentally to
the volcanic or seismic disturbance.
one part of the sea floor sinks or an
other part rises there must be a con-
seQuent rush of water, which may as
sumo the proportions Of what Is
called a tidal wave.

THE TWO VILLAGES

Over the river. on the hill.
Leth village white and still:
Ali around it the forest trees
SILVER and whisper in the breeze:
Over 1t sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk and screaming crow.
And mountain grasses low and sweet,
Grow In the middle Of every street
Over the river, under the hill.
Another village lieth still;
There see in the cloudy night
Twinkling stars of household light.
Fires that CLEAN from the smithy's door,
Mists that curl on the river shore:
And in the roads no grasses grow.
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill
Never is sound Of smithy or mill;
The houses are thatched with grass and
flowers:
Never a clock to toll the hours:
The marble doors are always Shut
You can not enter in hall or hut:
All the villagers lie asleep;
Never again to SOW or reap:
Never in dreams to moan or sigh:
Silent and idle and low they lie.
In that village under the hill,
When the night is starry and still,
Many a weary soul In prayer
Looks to the other village there,
And weeping and signing, longs to go
Up to that home from this below;
Longs to sleep in the forest wild,
Whittier have vanished wife and child.
And heareth, praying. this answer fall:
patience, that village shall hold We ALI"

Lack Of Water in Blood
May Increase Temperature

A new theory as to what fever is
caused by is propounded by the New
York Medical Journal. Recent studies
prove that lack Of water In the blood
may bring about a rapid and high In
crease In temperature, even as high a.
40 degree r. Other investigators had
reported temperatures Of this abnor-
NAL height In rare cases Of hysterfa.
but these had not been accepted gen.
orally, 1t being believed that such tenn
peratures were physically impossible.
Their cert1ncation by later observers
has aroused discussion Of the question

The Program of Industrial Slavery
BY Emil Lyons.

The capitalists of the United States. organized
in the National Chamber of Commerce, evidently
meant business when they adopted their program
of industrial slavery.
This program, which calls for the open shop,
as many hours work as the workers can stand
and wages that will Just keep them and then
families alive, was submitted to referendum
vote of all the local Chambers Of Commerce IN
the United States and adopted by an all but un-
anmous vote That means that it has the solid
backing of the whole employed class. No doubt
there is an understanding that the capitalists will
stand by each other when they get in fight on
account of this program.
That the bosses are acting upon this program
is shown by the issues which have developed in
recent strikes. There has been stiffening Of the
backbone on the part Of the employers, and in
place of following the policy of compromising and
coming to an agreement at the earliest possible
moment after the development OF strike they
are standing like stone wall against any COM
promise or any of the essential points of their
program to enforce industrial slavery.
Fight OH in Cleveland
This is indicated very clearly in two strikes
which arc underway in Cleveland. The pattern
makers have been out for about four weeks and
the jouineymen talors have just gone out Both
these organizations have had things pretty much
their own way in their industry in recent years
They are both strono craft union which have
enforced the closed shop, and wage increases
whenever they have made stand. Now they sud
denly find themselves up against fight against
the open shop. Evidently the National Chamber Of
Commerce program is being put into effect.
These strikes and other of a similar character
in other cities are but the first sliimishes in the
big battle which the united capitalist class if to
fight to put labor back in is place. The period OF
easy victories. which the workers won through
out the war period is over. Unemployment is on
the increase. Hard times are on the way. With
the coming of the industrial crisis and growing

tory for the bosses are being created.
Plan to Reduce Wages.
If the bosses put over their program of in.
dustral slavery there will be general reduction
of wages and the eight hour day will 90 into the
scrap heap The good old days when the boss
hadn't the slightest hesitation of acting his part
of the car to the limit will return.
How are the workers going to meet this pro-
position? Are they going into the battle against
the united bosses a few companies at time, as
the patteinmakers and joulneymen tailors men,
toned above are doing to the beaten piecemeal?
Are they going to fight as crafts and have their
organizations smashed one at time?
That is the kind Of fight the bosses want. That
kind of fight makes victory certain for them.
If the workers are to beat the bosses program
of industrial slavery they will have to mobilize the
united power of the workers against the united
power of the bosses. The shop organization. shop
committee and industrial and community council
system will accomplish that.
The Way To Fight.
The way to begin the work of uniting the
workers is for the live workers in every shop to
get together and form voluntary shop committee
Tor then shop and begin agitation for shop or-
ganization and shop committee elected by the
shop organization.
The shop committee OF an industry should be
united in an industrial council in which sit dele
gates from every shop OF the same industry in
any industrial centre and the industrial councils
for the various industries should be united in q
community council, in which sit delegates from
every industry in the community
With such an industrial organization the work.
erS can meet the united bosses and their program
of industrial slavery in fight to the finish and
win.
The struggle is already underway. The time
for action is at hand. They way to act is to start
work in your shop to ORGANIZE A SHOP COM
MITTEE.
