All these accusations merely show
that The Toiler has been effective N
its work of propaganda. 1t has succeeded
in impressing upon the minds of the
more intelligent workers the idea that
only a union which is controlled by
shop delegates and shop committees can
represent the true interests Of the work
ers.
The officials of the Amalsamated,
or for that matter. the officials Of any
other union, do not like to see such
ideas penetrate into the heads of the
workers. II represents great danger
to them. They might have TO 20 to work
and that is not very much to their
liking. That is why thcy'hate The roiler

William King and John Ploot were

turrets of his gray stone castle east

John owned all the fields and streams
which he saw when he stood on the
terrace of his white marble manor

glory of golden clouds.

was done by two powerful hairy apes

in their parks were slender saplings

cloths before their eyes and making
strange gestures, and especially they
kept the apes drugged with liquors
when they were not working,
Yet the two masters took great pains
to train their apes in certain matters
The training of the two was, however
exactly alike.
Mr.. King was careful to keep Proley
well enough fed so that he could do as
much work as possible. But he spent
more time teaching him to use heavy
club than in teaching him to do useful
work about the place. lie was harsh,
strict master and never let Proley do
as he pleased.
Mr.. Ploot was no less careful TO keen
Tariat well fed, yet he spent more time
teaching him TO work than to fight and
the club Tariat carried was not so large
as Proley's. But Mr.. Ploot was more
indulgent master, often giving Tariat a
whole day to do as he pleased. lie even
talked of letting Tariat 80 free some
day.
Both masters used their apes TO roi

though they too owned apes, were moi
able to defend themselves because THEN

Fellow Workers OF the Amalgamatcd:--
The present is very critical period
for the workers OF America. On all sides
they must meet the fierce attacks of
a united maste- class. Against these at
tacks the workers present no united
front because thcv are kept divided by
the bureaucracy o. TIA American Labor
Movement.
Especially is the present a very critic
al period for the workers of the cloth
ing industry who are organizes in the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America.
Thousands OF workers are going a
round idle. Factories are closed or work
ing part time Starvation and cold stares
the clothing workers in the face.
The bosses are taking advantage Of
the situation. They are determined to
force the workers back into slavery.
The bosses in New York have started
the fight. The Boston and Baltimore
bosses followed Thousands of workers
in those cities are locked out and arc
now in lie and death struggle to
prevent the bo.scs from forcing upon
them the old sweat shop conditions.
AT such moment unity, solidarity in
the ranks of the clothing workers is an
absolute necessity. At such moment
anyone that creaNes disunity, disrupting
the organization, is a traitcr to the
workers of the Amalgamatcd.
At such a moment what f@c the
Amalgamated Officials of Chicago
dOing' They are going around -, cad
ing the most slanderous lies against
the most conscious. the most active and
most revolutionary workers OF the op-
ganization.
When at such Il moment a high Of
ficiai of the union can get up at 4
meeting and say that those workers
who advocate the cause of the Thiul
International are spies and provoca-
teurs. then that official Intentionally
creates suspicion. lack of confidence,

For six weeks they have been pro-
missing proofs ''Next week, next
! week, " they say. Where is it, Let them
bring it forward. 1t is easy to SANDER,
to spread rumors, but let them produce

They tried TO slug him at union
meetings. They have kicked him out

searched him and threatened to kin

VIRGIN ISLANDS PAST GLORIES
EXPECTED TO RETURN.

Since the United States purchased
from Denmark the islands of St. Tho
mas, St. John, and St. Croix. now called
the Virgin Islands, scant attention has
been paid them CONNIE REALLY or poll
tically. 1t is not within the scope of
this paper to discuss them politically,
but there are many reasons why we
should consider them from a CONNER
cial stand point.
This group is destined to become as
popular for winter tourists as the Ba
hama or Bermuda, for the islands are
in the tropics and laved by the turquoise
waters of the Atlantic and the Carib-
bean. Their fertile hills and beautiful
valleys, their natural magnificence,
their early history, their freedom from
disease and the trade WINDS which blow
gently over them, make the islands ideal
resort purposes. Some day the hotel-man
will discover them and build hosteiries
for the accommodation Of the traveller.
Commercially, the islands are in the
path Of all steamers enroute to or from
European ports and the Panama Canal,
many of which stop for fuel, water and
food. A permanent trade exhibit pro-
perly housed in the largest of the three,
St. Thomas, would undoubtedly aid
American business and be a leading at
traction. Many voyagers to the Con
tinent could be induced to place trial
orders for American goods, and the more
than 5000, 900 inhabitants of the 27
nearby islands would see the advantage
of visiting this exhibition, with a view to
buying goods rather than 10 take the
more expensive and long trip to the
Unile5 States for that purpose.

Moors were driven off with heavy losses.
Washington, Sept. 9th. Former pres
ident Wilson is opposed to the ratification
of the new peace treaty between Ger
many and the United States, according
to statements made by Democratic SEN
ators. 1t was learned this morning that
the former president invited several SEN
ators to call upon him, and stated
ed his views, requesting Senators to do
all they could toward defeating the pact.
The result is likely to be a stiffening of
opposition to the treaty by a number
of Democratic Senators. This is the first
time the former President has taken an
active part in any matters before Con-
gress.
Berlin, Sept. 9th Important legis-
lation awaited action by the Reichstag
when it re%convened here today, this
session Of the German parliament heing
considered as the most important held
since the treaty of Versailles was sign
ed. Ratification of the peace treaty with
the United States, tax measures and
laws calculated to bring order out of
the chaos prevailing in Germany's fin
ances were in the calendar and there
threatened to be partisan acerbities as
a result OF the assassination early this
month of former President Erzberger.
Interest centered today in the proposed
reconstruction of the Germ n cabinet,
and it was expected that there would be
a,proposal that the present coalition be ex-
tended by the inclusion of representa-
tives of the German peoples party. The
majority Socialists continued to assert
their allegiance to Chancellor Wieth, de-
spite announced readiness to cooperate
in "a Govt. in which the German peo-
Piles party was represented. Trading

and the Abehblatt, d~esignates the pre-
