Which Class?

You ask, 5"To which class OF
workers do, you belong?" | an
swer, we belong to the class that
sees you in all your hideousness
all your grasping subtle plans,
all your lies, all your poisonous
hypocritical poses and we are
watching the clock for the hour
when we can hurl you from pow
er and become masters of our
own destiny. We belong to the
class that is conscious of it's po-
sition in society, and who are
organizing everywhere to fight
with you for the struggle for
bread; for life. We are the class
that throws back into yo1r face
the precepts that are based upon
privileges for only one part of
the human race, and we place be-
fore you and the entire world a
new social order based upon JUS
tice to all. The truths that We
base our ideas upon will survive
at your base attacks aif11d and d they they
will live and become the watch
words of millions of crusaders.
Yes, even now they can be heard
around the world; you are alrea-
dy trembling for your safety and
tomorrow you will be cast from
power. We do not care for the
patronizing of those who employ
us; for we hate them. We will
continue to hate them till the
hour of our emancipation. We
will measure men by one stand
ard, do you hate the things that
are and will you fight for the
better things ahead? With that
as our measure of manhood we
will conquer all before us. We
watch the clock" for the hour
of our emancipation from wage
slavery.

longer will we listen to your talk
about us getting together with
you to make arrangements. We
are at war with you, and the
battle will not be over till we
have won. We will reduce you to
the ranks of workers yourselves
before we are through. We will
bring you down to the ditch and
let you taste the struggle. Your
hands will see the callouses that
we have known so long. Your
hearts will sink in WEAKNESS over
the tasks that you will be made
to perform. You have laughed at
us long enough. We are aroused
and now you can expect no mer-
cy. All these years we have toiled
and suffered and watched you
parade in your arrogance, but
now we will declare our manhood
and raise the banner of freedom
high. All your banners and all
your creeds win be dragged in
the dust; and if you dare oppose
the cause of right and justice,
you too will be trampled under

legality phase of the matter Loaded
with authorities the defense waded
into the case and fsoon riddled the op.
position.
In summing up the evidence Judge
Stransky said, "the evidence presented
by the prosecution does not show that
the defendant was the aggressor; on
the other hand, the evidence introduced
by the prosecution proves that the
Mayor was the aggressor. Therefore,
the Court finds the defendant mot
guilty as charged, and the costs of
the action are assessed against the City
of Dixon"
"I'll be back to finish that speech
when the wheather gets warm" Owens
told the Judge. "Oh, You go to hell, !"

The New York Globe is pub
fishing a series Of one page propa
ganda lessonos for workers and
among others / have read care
fully the one called "The Clock
Watcher"
A large picture occupies the
upper half of the page and illus
trates two workers. One is at
tentively persuing his daily task.
The other is taking good
stretch and incidentally casting
a shy glance at the clock, and it
was just eight minutes to five.
The lower half of the page is
filled with print in very large
type, and these are the words
used Training his hand and
mind to be honest with himself
is a vital part of mans education,
Itinvolves development of latent
abilities and those priced quail
ties of usefulness which take
steadily and surely to success.
The worker who habituallyI
watches the clock is cheating
himself more than he cheats
others. He is on his way to fail

I'm the picture is shown the
'Clock-Watcher' scowling resent
fully at the timepiece as it ticks
away opportunity. He is the last
to punch the time clock in the
morning and the first to face it
at night. He is a mental and
moral Stacker, an unproducer.
"A cross the isle is the calm
faced producer so deeply absorb
ed in his duty, so anxious to
turn out unblemished work that
he forgets the monentous swing
of the pendulum. He has caught
hold of the infinite thing humans
call honor and will not let 60. The
work his hand finds to do he
does with all his might. His
countenance shines, his muscles
tingle and his hammer rings with
shrill Joy. He is the faithful man j
dong his part in the worlds
work happily and lending a help 4
ing hand to others. He is MAX
ing sure that what he constructs
will stand the strain to which he !
knows it will be subjected in
service"

own future by giving the best ;
that's in him. He does not drop j

blows at five o'clock if a rivet {

certain time. Perfectly reason
able.
As industry became better
organized an dmodern machinery
took the place of the more prim-
tive methods, this made neces-
sary a greater amount of system.
! Once the worker was interested
in his work. That was in the days
when he was more than a cog in
the machine, as he is at the pres
ent time. AS his work became
more simple, when it was re-
duced to a few simple movements
then he began to loose interest
| in the work. Now he is interested
only in his pay envelope, his
hours, and the conditions under
which he works. All of these
things have been the last
thoughts of the employer, and on
the other hand the employer has
thought of only one thing, and
that is profits. He worked the
men as long as they could stand
and gave them as little as they
could barely exist on. AS far asl
safety was concerned he did,
nothing until he was compelled.
He even worked tender little
children in his mad rush fol
wealth taking no consideration as
to the life or future of anyone or
but his own pocket
book, and now he .dares to critic
ize the man because he is not
interested in his work.
This whole page is devoted TO
the interests of the master. Yes,
| call you master, for that is ex-
actly what you are and in your
own laws to this very day you
refer to yourself as a master.
There will come a time when the
worker will be interested in hes
work, but it will not be while
you are in control of the great
wealth producing factors of the
world.
You dare to refer to your mill
as "his MILL" You know he does
not share in its ownership or the.
management of it, so why do you
say "his mill?" 1t is not the
workers mill. 1t is the masters
mill
You pose as the saint after all
that you have tried to do to
American labor. You who have
watched the people walk the
street looking for employment
and at the same time were ne
gotiating with steamship COM
panies to bring other thousands
to these shores so that you could
get slaevs cheaper, you dare in
