WHAT IS SLAVERY?
SHELLEY

SHELLEY
'Tis to work and have such pay
AS just keeps life from day to day
In your limbs, as in cell,
For the tyrant's use to dwell.
'Tis to be a slave in soul
And to hold no strong control
Over your own will, but be
All that others make of We.
So that ye for them are made,
Loom and plow and sword and spade,
With or without your own will, bent
To their defense and nourishment.
'Tis to see our children weak
With their mothers pine and peak,
When the winters winds are bleak
They are dying while I speak.
'Tis to hunger for such diet
AS the rich man in his riot
Casts to the fat dogs that lie
Surfeitins beneath his eye.
And at length when you complain,
With a murmur weak and vain,
'Tis to see the tyrant crew
Ride over your wives and you.
Men Of labor, heirs of glory,
Heroes of unwritten story,
Nurslings of one mighty mother,
Hopes of her and one another,
Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number;
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which, in sleep has fallen on you!
Ye are many, they are few.
There's more credit and satisfac-
ton in being a first-rate truck -driv-
er than a tenth-rate executive.

Report Of Social Service Com
mission Has Right Ring.

THE report Of the social service
commission of the Puget sound con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, adopted at Vancouver,
Wash., last Saturday, reads like the
proceedings of a labor convention"
says the Oregon Labor Press.
1.-The report, as adopted, demands
the repeal of the criminal syndical-
ism law, favors the release of all
political prisoners, pledges to cham
pion the cause of free speech and
free assemblage, and declares that
the first charge on industry should
be a living wage.
"The report placed the church on
record as opposing legal sophistries
and injunctions, which, through the
employment of technical interpreta-
tions and injunctions, take from la
borers the rights guaranteed them
under the constitution of the United
States.'"
In recording their opposition to
the syndicalism law, the church men
reaffirmed this magnificent free
speech declarations:
LAS Christian citizens we hold that
all Of our churches should proclaim
the American principles enunciated
by Thomas Jefferson when he said:
If there be among us any who wish
to dissolve this union, or to change
the republican form, let them stand
undisturbed as monuments of the
safety with which errors of opinion
may be tolerated where reason is
left free to combat it, "

GOAL OF COOPERATION.

Cooperation is not a mere penny
saving device. 1t is not confined to
shops or stores or factories. In the
outreach Of it's interest and sympa-
thies it embraces all the social, eco
nomic and political activities of orr
common humanity. AS advocated
by Robert Owen, the great co-opera-
ago, its purpose is nothing less than
"Unrestricted cooperation for All
purposes Of life.''
