70 mainly through dissensions in the
lion workmen were executed as rebels
against Established authority.
When the workmen's army under
Spartacus was defeated, only 5000
prisoners were taken, and an historian
states that every one of these were
crucified along the Appian way, the
aristocratic drive, to delight the pa
tricians travelling between the cities
of Rome and Capua.
With the fall of Spartacus .practic-
ally ended the great strikes of ancient
working people.
For hundreds Of years afterwards,
the labor movement seems to have
drifted into and become absorbed by
the religious movement. But as civil
ization marched onward the, necessity
for trades organization again became
apparent. Tyrants are tyrants,
whether Christian or Pagan, and an
industrial 'drone or. robber is as mall
odorous under either name.
In England the tailors, have the
credit for being the first to offer or
gained resistance to. industrial OPP
preston, and hence were the pioneers
Of modern trades, unionism in that
country. AS early as 1921, in the days
Of the handicrafts, there was a union
OF tailors in London numbering 49,
900. They went on strike for better
conditions Of, employment, notwith-
standing that acts of Parliament out
lawed such combinations and made
strikes criminal acts and limited
wages by law. This historic strike so
incensed the masters that they sent
a committee to Parliament with an
appeal reciting their grievances,
charging the journeymen with con-
spring to increase their wages be-
formed unlawful combinations,
threatening the peace of the COM
munity, discouraging industry, en-
| couraging Incidence and setting bad
example to other Workn-e en-.
During the great plague in London
it is known that all classes of work
men struck for and received higher
wages; the rebellion Of Watt Taylor
| and Jack Cade, and the Chartist re-
| bellion, are matters of history.
The French revolution of 1898 and
the Paris commune of I'll were in
stances Of the revolutionary move
| ment; in suppressing the latter some
$4,000 workmen were executed in a
barbarous and inhuman manner.
During 1S4S under the auspices of
the famed International, a. series OF
strikes and Instructions swept all
over Fro nee.

rebellion was crushed with the as
sistance Of the French and English
fleets.

every reactionary force in the state.
A few years ago these elements Sc

At that time it was aimed that when
citizens became acquainted with the
facts public opinion would demand
justice.
It is a beautiful theory, but its
failure has justified labor's predic-

the problem by attempting to stop

Mexican Claims Peril Il. S. Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. June 25.
Powerful Mexican interests appar-
emily have persuaded their govern
ment TO lay claim TO all off-shore
California islands screening the Pa
ciic coast and indispensable TO it's
protection.
The movement is known to have
had its inception over two years ago.
The claim, according TO Mexican
papers which recen tly stated 1t in
what was regarded as inspired &C
counts, is based on the contention
that the treaty of Hidalgo did not
cede the California coast islands to
the United States together with other
territory then relinquished.
For two generations this country
has rested secure in the assumption
that ii owned. without shadow Of
doubt, the FarallOn islands, "a miles
off San Francisco; the Santa Bar
