The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-07-30

The game according to the rules which the capital
lists have framed for their own protection, then
woe to them! Those who would "destroy our
economic SYSTEM are to be stifled and crushed
Thus runs Mr. Harding's declaration.
There is, of course, nothing new in this It is
the same sort of stuff that has been handed out to
the workers for many months If the workers will
keep ON voting, if they will continue to lock with
respect and awe upon our American institutions Of
government the capitalists don't care much They
feel themselves safe and secure
Should they, however, rely upon .heir own
organizations, should they develop their own organs
Ct power and teach the necessity Of establishing
working class government - the Dictatorship of
the Proetariat, then all the power of the capitalists
will be used to mercilessly crush them.
Mr.. Harding has proven himself an admirable
mouthpiece for the expression of the current capital
st policy but his platitudes will have as little eff
feet in stopping the onrushing class conflict as a
pebble thrown against the waves can stop the
onrushing water.
The economic forces at work in society will set
the workers in this country in as sharp opposition
to the capitalists as the workers Of Italy are in
opposition to their ruling class. All the nice phrases
which Hr Harding and Mr.. Cox may utter during
the presidential campaign will not stop this class
conflict from growing sharper, nor will the masses
of the workers be fooled much longer into believing
that they can win their emancipation by such meth
DDS as the capitalists urge them to use
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-07-30

other men have proven that the constitution is an
exceptionally cunning class document, Mr.. Harding
will have none of that. The constitution does not
mention classes There must be no classes There can
be no classes. All the time Mr.. Harding knows
that he was nominated by the capitalist class, is
the candidate of the capitalist class and will Loyalty
serve the capitalist class if he, rather than Mr.
Cox, who stands in the same position, is elected
president Why two capitalist class candidates, (or
three or four)7 Because there are group capitalist
interests to be settled in the political struggle.
Keep your mind in the old rut workingmen
continued this mouthpiece of the capitalists. We
ask nothing more Of you than that you limit your
effort to improve your conditions to trying to gain
control Of the machinery of government which we
have created for our own class purposes, by going
TO the polls and voting for "good men,. We prefer
that You vote for the men whom the capitalists have
selected, but if you can't quite stomach these men,
You may nominate men o. your own. That may be
little more troublesome, but really it doesn't make
1iuch difference, for so long as we control the
means Of publicity and education, you haven't
much chance Of electing them and if by any
chance you did, they would quickly wear themselves
cut trying to do something for you through the
government machinery which we have created for
DUR own purpose
So long as the workers are good and do only
these things they can have all the freedom Of
speech, freedom Of press and freedom Of assembage
they can use But if they are not satisfied to play
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-07-30

Since high wages can be paid only on this con-
dition, the workers are urged that they must "jon
hand and brain in production, more production,
honest production, patriotic production, because
patriotic production is no less a defense of our civ
ilzation than that of armed force" How these
various forms of production differ we are not in
formed, but one thing is certain, they all mean
more profits for the class Mr. Harding represents.
The essential point III the relations between the
workers and capitalists having thus been disposed
of in form that leaves the workers fine phrases
to respond to and the capitalists assured good prof
its, the next thing is to show that there is really no
reason for the workers and capitalists to fight EACH
other. Hr. Harding "declines to recognize any
conflict Of interest among the participants in in
dustry''. Although at the time of Mr.. Harding's
statement several million railroad workers we're
expressing their disgust with a wage award which
had just been made to them and some of Them
were threatening to take more decisive action, and
only few weeks before a pitched battle between
striking workers and the capitalist tools ragged in
the streets of Bridgeport Connecticut Mr.. Harding
sticks his head in the sand and mumbes the usual
pattude Since there is no conflict Of interest, he
continues both the workers and the capitalists must
be good and Economic Justice" will surely result.
Then comes the usual appeal to american.
ism" and our glorious Institutions under which
all wrongs can be righted by orderly procedure,
"The constitution contcmplates no classes and re-
cognzes no group" thunders Mr.. Harding. While

TRYING TO FOOL THE WO KERS

The speech of acceptance of the Republican
candidate for president indicates the policy toward
the workers which the capitalists will follow in the
presidential campaign that is now underway. While
the Democratic candidate has not yet officially
declared his acceptance of the nomination, other
statements he had made before and since his NOM
nation, show that in his attitude toward the
workers he is in substantial agreement with his
opponent.
1t is cltar from the utterance of both candidates
that the capitalist class realizes that the workers
are not in a mood to be trifled with While the
lines of the class divisions are not yet clearly drawn
in the political struggle in this country and the
situation is not as threatening as in France, Eng
land, to say nothing of ITALY, the capitalists see
that defiant attitude or any attempt at repression
would quickly sodfy the opposition of the work
ers and sharpen the character of the struggle. Their
policy, therefore, is to blur the class lines and to
keep up the illusion of unity of interests be-
tween the capitalists and the workers.
The Republican candidate is for high wages He
is "ready to acclaim the highest standard of pay
But on one condition, which is that the "wagc.
earners will give full return for the wages receiv.
ved' On that condition the workers may have any
thing they desire. "Fu return of course, means
that the workers shall produce a goodly margin
of profit for the capitalists over and above the
wages they receive. As long as they do that the
wages they receive will not be seriously question

|. v. v. IS POLITICAL
ORGANIZATION

Bellingham, Wash.-The /. W. W.
is a political organization
This was the ruling here of Judge
Edward E. Hardin of the Whatcom
county superior court in denying the
application Of the prosecuting attorney
for an injunction restraining four al
legged I. W. W.'s from further par
ticipation in the activities Of that or
ganization.
The judge held that no court in
the land has yet decided that political
parties should be restrained. Judge
Harding in refusing to restrain the
I. W W. said:
"The I. W. W. is an exotic from
continental Europe where it was nur.
tured by centuries of oppression. II
can not live in the light of public
discussion in government which
provides constitutional methods of
changes to fit new conditions and if
it should thrive for a time and assume
menacing proportions in this, the
greatest of republics, that fact would
itself be evidence that somehow, some.
where something needs fixing"
Judge Hardin also held that the
