NOT to find immediate relief for the unemployed not the
operative effort described taking place at Everett We
well leave such aeviatng activities to the Salvation Army and
other capastc agencies which support apta robbery in this
manner Communist activity should take the form of cultivation
of the elements of revolutions to create in the mass mind desire
for control of the land and machinery of production and the will
to obtain cost The working class must R made to under
stand that they only they have right to the products of labor
and they must led away from this solicitation of aims from
other elements of the workers for this only Strengthens the
capitalist class Activities revolutionary hah these only
paatives which weaken labor strengthen the robbers and poison
the minds of the workers
AT the time when graneres filled when cotton is being
dsked under unharvested when all fruits and provisions
to man abound unlimited abundance how crnay foolish
such tactics carried at EvereaHd elsewhere And
must be added how perverng and perncous Of true revo

the impoverished farmers and unemployed workers deal in such
shallow manner with problem so filled with revolutionary
possibilities.
The fact that the workers managed to relief from

A Patriotic Program

H. M. Daugherty, Attorney-G General
of the United Stated, says: sThe
country is settling down to pat
Eriotic program" :
What is the program? Watch the
papers.
"The United States Shipping Board
lis determined to do everything it can
to fight the men,"
That is the patriotic program.
Everybody is doing it. The Shipping
Board, the Steel Trust--every pa
triotic organization in the country.
Capt. Paul Foley, director of opera
ltion of the shipping board, held
conference with more than 80 steam
ship representatives, for the pur-
pose of drawing up general policy
of opposition to the strike. That is
the patriotic program.
Conferences with the bosses against
the workers: that is the patriotic
program.
Issuing injunctions against strik-
Iers, sending strikers to prison,
shooting them: that is the patriotic
program.
Never forget the program. And
don't bother writing to your con-
lgressmen; speak to your fellow
workers.
Make them think about it. Make
them feel it. Wake them up

power, and as such it is a political
action, whether the I. w. W. cherish
the name ECONOMIC or not. Why SC
stubornly stick to a name that does
not at all define their action, but on
ly their aim?
THE ACTION being clash be-
tween the mighty awakening giant. i.
the working class and against the
armed power of the big BOSSES. -.
the fighting or battlefield of the
general working class is one and
indivisible, and not divided as the
Pravda tries to make believe.
Even in its preparatory stage,
with its apparent industrial aspect,
there can be no division or separa-
ton in its broad sense, but simply
subdivision or departmentalization
for the sake of higher efficiency, and
for no other purpose.
In the bitter reality, there is only
one front! All real organizations,
and all their resources must have
only one central direction.
That is the Third International!
To prepare the workers for run
ming and directing the industries
only, for that the workers can make
use Of the too many bourgeois
schools. The workers have not got
the industries yet, and therefore the
paramount question is, to prepare the
workers for the fight, in which to
wrest the industries from the bour-
geoisie, in spite Of the armed ma
chine Of their government.
The fight may begin in the shops
in the mines. 80. it may begin in
the armories or Streets. 80. II makes
no difference where, But the fight
must be all-embracing, universal!
For this the workers must be pre-.
pared and ready by shops, by trades
by industries, by military units, by
administrative units, by educational
units.
And all this without real divis'
ion, simply as parts of one and tho
same machine all parts Of whicl
move simultaneously forward against
the machine Of the bourgeois
government, crushing It, and prevent
ing its reparation, through the die
tatorship Of the workers, until thcr'
lis no opposition. no classes.

Intellectual development and know

of course against the hogish COM
fort Of our capitalists.
In society organized for brigand-
age and loot Of the working class,
the most Important necessity is an
arrangement or special organization
that shall protect the brigands and
looters from the wrath of the work
ers.
To get hold Of the fruit of the
labor of millions of working men,
women and children, the big hogs

liged to employ an evergrowing ar
my of bruttish mercenaries, secret
agents and thugs.
There are still too many among
us wage slaves, who are unable tc
immagine any other system of So
ciety than the present one, where
the few useless people live in fabu
lous luxury, hoggish idleness, ant
swollen pride, and the overwhelming
many, the useful workers in an al
most criminal poverty and destitu
tion in spite of all abundance anc
wealth Of the Nation.
1t is those wretched working men

tually so low that they cannot i'm
imagine or grasp Social OrdeI

taking orders? What is Magistrate,
what is a court that does not take
orders from the capitalists? What
are its decisions? A HUGE JOKE!
That's all! They are and can be
nothing but a camouflage to deceive
the working class into the belief
that they have any say in the mat
ter, camouflage as brazen as par
liamentary representation, calculated
to hide the fact, that force and
violence is ruling and nothing else.

the three fine men acquitted by the
court, surrounded by their families,
were violently seized by the bulls,
handcuffed, their wives and children
thrown against the walls screaming
in terror, their attorney showed to
corner, his clothing almost torn
from his body.
All this, done by the almighty
bulls, the plain-clothes brutes, that
rule the U. S. Of A..
| 1t is pity the workers from all
| the factories, mines and railroads
cannot 60 to court and see for them
selves what is ruling the country, or
better said, what is ruling them.
| And this fact comes to the adj
vantage Of the capitalists. They do
not want the workers to know. AS
long as the workers do not know,
they believe in capitalist Laws, de-
mocracy ,and parliamentary repre-
sentation. But if they saw, they would
understand, that parliaments, Ma
tional and Congresses and Law
Courts if they disagree with the
Money Bags are nice Places of Cheap
Talk, but devoid of all power, and
useless.

force hired by the exploiters of labor,
brute force that must grow from

ing impatiance of the Giant, the
Working Class!

dearly for their inexperience in Rus

Bolsheviks on the political, I. w.

A fine confusion in the ranks of
the working class!
To mean anything in revolutionary
economics, workers organization
must plunge itself into the general
fight for its revolutionary aims. The
propertied class that calls itself
Owners of factories, mines and the
land" have all the armed power to
protect their loot, and will not give
it up without a fight, whether we
believe it or not. A fight is poll
teal action for power!
The I. w. W. had all the test it
needed to recognize that the pos
sessing class does not contemplate
any peaceful transformation Of capi-
talism into an Industrial Common

words. They must have learned by
suffering!
Since the industrial actionzon-such.
a-large- scale as the I. w. w. contem-

is bound to arraign the armed bour-
geois machine against the general
working-class, it follows, that an m

The Scope Of Bolshe-

an Introductory article of about 12O
words, from which I will cite The
