SLAVES TOOK TO SWAMPS
TO ESCAPE BAD MASTERS

What is slavery?" asks Joshua
Blunt" in the Illinois State Fedora
ton OF Labor Weekly News Letter.
whats the difference between
slaves and free men?
Its a relationship between men
and work.
Slaves cannot quit their jobs ex-
cept by consent Of other persons
Free men may quit any old time
and cannot be compelled to remain
in the service of others.
THE right to quit work! That's
the fundamental right which makes
the free man different from the slave.
ANY law restricting the right to
quit work must necessarily be based
upon the slave theory-compulsory
service!
Men can't always be held to jobs
by anybody-law or no law-except
by fair treatment and decent .consid-

Those industries which have devel-

Parallel with the growth of indus

sprung up. So far no systematic eff

made as urban cooperation has been
confined almost entirely to middle

been formed such as the cooperative

government which aims to promote
thrift and selfhelp among the vari-

that it's commerce, trade and indus

STIRLING AND GRAHAM
DON'T TRUST YANKEES

This criticism of the Stirling sedi-
ton bill by Prof. Zechariah Chaffee,
jr., of Harvard law school, was printed
in the Congressional Record:
I'm the past we have been proud to
believe that arguments for law and
order, the common sense Of the
American people, including those who
come from Europe to help build up
our industries, and the noble quail
ties Of our institutions, would win
out in short time over any revolp-
tionary talk or writing. The Stirling
bill shows serious distrust in these
three great stabilizing factors Of our
American life.
1T is kindergarten measure which
assumes that our patriotism is so
weak as to crumble away at any talk
of revolution. Those who have confi-
dence in the American policy of free
speech, the stability Of American in
situations and the sound sense of the
American people ought to do all in
their power to secure the defeat Of
this bill or any similar legislation"

1 SONG OF toll

Toll swings the axe and forests bow;
The seeds bring forth their radiant
bloom;
Rich harvests smile behind the pillow:
And cities cluster round the loom.
Where towering dome and tapering
spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Staunch labor lights it's beacon fires,
And plumes with smoke the forge
and mill.
The monarch tree-the woodlands
pride,
Whose trunk Is scanned with light
ning's scars,
Toll launches on the restless tide
And shape to bear the stripes and
stars.
The iron steed with lungs afiame,
With ribs and joints of throbbing
steel,
From labor's supple fingers came.
With Kissing steam and whirling
wheel.
Here, sunburned toll with glintins
spade
Links lake. to lake with silvery ties,
Strung with the palaces OF trade
And temples towering to the Skies.
IT'S labor turns the magic press.
And whfrls the shafts in hives OF
toll.
So let the worlds abundance bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
