World Movement is a great spirit,
and blood and walk among men, turn
ing their faces to the future, instill.
ing right. breathing hope and lend.
ing courage. No nation in history
ever had such an opportunity as is
presented to this country at this
time, and the fight is on to see
whether Christ or Mammon shall
win. rs
This welfare service is based up.
on actual needs, discovered through
the surveys of the Interchurch
World Movement, the basis for the
forthcoming drive for. $336.777572,
April rs to May 2, when thirty of the
strongest denominations in the Unit.
ed States will join forces in an en-
deavor to raise this vast sum for
meeting the situation at home and
abroad. The expenses of the White
Cross Service will be met out of
this great general 1920 fund.
All thinking people realize that the
program Of Jesus Christ, If pressed
to it's fulfllment, comprehends
much wider basis OF life than yet
put into operation by the churches.
1t is in precisely this forward march
that the churches must lead us in
the present universal quest which
is to bring on the Kingdom of God
among men. AS Jesus gave His life
for others. the church is being called
to reproduce thfs law of life today
The issue is so tremendous that un-
der 1t the churches OF America will
make or break in comparatively
short time. - "

STANDARD OIL SLAVE EFFICIENCY.

Seeing so many good things in your paper

Sistersville, w. Va, under the rule of Standard
Oil.
This billion dollar corporation controls every
thing in sight. Even to the employees union
which is not theirs but one of the Standards
own-a real BOSSES union. To such an extent is
this true that the bosses give the employees the
names Of the committeeman they want elected,
and we are told to vote for them.
We are blessed with a plan Of company in
surance. But in order to get it's wonderful bene-
fits we must be so physically fit as to not need
them. This outfit has set a physical test which
every employe must pass before he can go to
work. The commercial ventures of Holy John D.
do not employ either the halt, the lame or the
blind His religion is not allowed to interfere with

get your union to actively support the strikers,
so that when you strike the other workers (who
belong to the same class as you do) will support
you too. In this way-and this way ly-by
sympathetic strikes will Labor realize its over

Realize workers, that you are ninety-nine per

evident that even 5000 American ought to be
able to see it.
Why does the worker continue to be his own
enemy? Why does he take the side of his boss
the slave driver-when a strike is declared?
Is any worker so stupid as to kick his own self?
Several months ago the whole transportation
system of Brooklyn Gan important artery Of N. Y.
City( was tied up like drum. Not car stirred,
not wheel budged. For the first three days the
strike was one of the most successful demonstra-
tions of the power of Labor in the history Of
New York. What did the men demand? They
struck for an ohur day which our capitalist
Congress said should be the universal law in
America; for recognition of their union and
The capitalist Press the organs of the Bosses
beloved like crocodles about the poor Public"
And the workers, bound hand and foot by their
antiquated craft divisions and suicidal individual
contracts needed the lies of the Bosses press and
refused to give active support by means of SYM
pathetic strike to their fellow wage slaves OF
course the International Federation Officials re-
fused to call out the power house men and the
motormen, who belong to unions others than
those who declared the strike, with the con-
sequence that the Union was broken up and the
strike lost.
The damned and yellow capitalist Press is al
ways the worst enemy of the workers. In time
of a strike it always plays up the public game
and the workers like asses fall for it ask again
Who is this damned Public?" Reason and ex-
perience answers, there isn't any such thing. The
"Public" is fiction of the capitalist to fool the
workers. It is nothing but trick and subterfuge
to throw dust in the eyes of the working class
Go wherever you like, in any city or country and
see whether the animal the Bosses press calls the
Public, exists You can't find it, All you can find
is Workingmen and Businessmen -Proletarians
and Capitalists those who work for living and
those who work the workers, and who live
off their unpaid for products Forget, therefore,
about this fiction of the Public. 1t is lie and
does not exist.
But it is the duty of the worker to support
his fellow worker inst as the parasitic CAPITALISTS
