Disappearing Eagle.

Americans have made war to such
an extent upon the national bird
the American eagle-that few speci'
mems of the species are left IN the
East, and when one of these birds does
show itself the first impulse Of the
man or boy who sees It Is to shoot
to kill. Yet the eagle Is q harmless
bird and does IL to nobody. Now and
then bald-head eagle flies over the
national capital and a few are TO be
seen in the region Of Washington. but
they have become rare. Last spring
a large and handsome member Of the
species was shot and killed in the
woods bordering Neabsco creek. about
thirty miles below Washington and
close to the junction Of that creek
and the Potomac river.

es. Where they have approached such
crises, notably in the Paris Commune,
the tendency to create Soviets has
been clearly manifested.
The Russian Soviets, although they
have many admitted faults, provide
the workers with the governmental
mechanism much more flexible and
responsive to their will than any de-
mocracy based on bourgeois principles.
Of course the Soviets are highly un-
satisfactory to the remnants of nom
producing elements still hanging on
here, but then, in this country, no one
is disturbed over that. The interests
of the workers are being taken care
Of, and in Russia that's all that mat
ters.

THIS is ALSO WHAT THEY
FOUGHT FOR.

The City Commission Of Birming-
ham, Ala, recently declared that Gun
less definite and vigorous measures
are adopted to relieve the situation,
large numbers of our people will sufz
fer starvation, sickness and possibly
DEATH" Most of the unemployed "are
wholly without possible means Of i'm
proving their condition. Conditions
in the mining camps outside Birming-
ham are growing worse. Three
hundred families are without food in
a small town.
This is also what they fought for:
starvation and death! The boys were
promised everything = civilization,
prosperity, happiness-and now they
are getting it. This is exactly what
civilization means under capitalism.
Prosperity there is--for Morgan, Wall
ST.; even for the "enemy" capitalist,
SHINES of Germany. But American
workers and German workers, ex-
soldiers for the purses of their res
pective capitalists, are suffering
starvation and possibly DEATH"
Well, if the workers will stand for,
this, they don't deserve any better.
They need a few more wars ia wake
them up. Then perhaps they will learn
that you can not save humanity and
civilization" by shooting lead into
workers Of other countries, but by
taking in hand those who give you
starvation, sickness and possibly
DEATH"

that they are, the delegates felt con-
strained to view with alarm the doc
trine of the Dictatorship of the Pro-
letariat. Did the great prophet say
ought of such thing? No. Then it is
unclean. Anathema on the Dictator
ship Of the proletariat. Heaven pre-
serve us from Moscow, the land Of
the infidels! lin spite of Reinstein).
And such theoretical bankruptcy; it
was pitiful
The convention was sorrowful adj
mixture Of tragedy and farce; a farce
that fifteen delegates representing
mere handful of members, should pre-
sumo to parade them as THE revo-
lutionary industrial organization of
the American working class; ira
gedy that the American movement
must be burdened with such a theo-
retically insolvent and industrially i'm
potent organization that is kept alive
only by an almost fanatical dogmat-
| ism.
After number of delegates had
bolted in pure disgust, the rest
dwindled away after an apathetic ad-
journment, apparently never to re-
convene.
| This convention is something that
the W. l. I. U. has needed for a long
time; it drew matters to head; it
hastened the approach of an inevitable
death.
| The dirge has been well sung. There
is no hope for the resurrection Of an
organization that has, as the saying
goes, zone foot in the grave and the
other on a banana peeling."
