THE working class lamb lay down
4 with the capitalist lion on Labor
Day to the great joy of the labor
takers who had the honor Of tickling
the lions stomach with a union card
after the beast had swallowed the
loyal wage slave. The interests Of
capital and labor were identical last
Monday tho strange to say half
dozen strikes stuck up their heads on
Tuesday, here there and everywhere,
as if to confound the prophets.
r EARNED capitalist editors, after
IL receiving orders from their pub
fishers dwelt profoundly on the great
change that has come over the work
ing class movement in the United
States since the days when it paraded
on May Day and even on the cooler,
first Monday in December. In those
days the workers were modified as
protest against the capitalist system
even tho many of the workers did not
realize it. In the front of the line
of march were the workers who hap
pened to be on strike. Speeches were
made, in which the employers were
condemned and labor was urged to
close its ranks and fight it's enemy.
THANK the good lord. say the cap
4 italist editors, and the labor
takers, those days are no more. To
day, as Brisbane would say, the work.
ers take out their limousines and lug
their wives, children, housemaids.
POODLE dogs and parrots to some pret-

so far of horny handed son of toll
unhitching his airplane and flying to
Alaska for few days recreation. He
could be back at his hammer, trowel
or paint brush in time to draw down
thirty of forty dollars for days work
on Tuesday.
THIS is the kind of life that raises
4 Cain with the class struggle. we
are informed. The workers are be-
coming capitalists and are realizing
that an this talk about the class strug-
gle is nonsense. Bill Green chimes in
with an AYE, aye, sir" Ditto for the
other several thousand parasites who
dumped their offal on the ether last
Monday. Green says we must repri-
mand the "autocratic employers" but
fight the Communists. The Commun-
lists tell the workers to fight all en-
ployers. There are no good ones any
more than there are good bed bugs.

TN Chicago, there was not squawk
1 out of the bona fde labor move
ment." Weeping" John H. Walker
delivered a speech in Springfield in
which he thanked Governor Small for
the favors he conferred on the work
ers. There was nothing said about the
favors the workers conferred on
Small. The unemployed miners of
Illinois would like to see the governor
come across with some of those bles-
sings, that the fearful John talked
about. The thousands of other work
ers who work long hours for short
pay are also curious. They are will
ing to be enlightened.
JAMES J. DAVIS, secretary Of labor
y in strikebreaker Coolidge's cabinet
comes out boldly for the trusts and
favors laws. that would prevent over
development of industry. He said that
some of the mines should be shut down
and only enough to take care of the
needs of industry be allowed to oper-
ate. Too many mines interfere with
profits. How about the miners who
would be thrown out of work by
Davis's efficiency plan? What of
them? They are only workers. SO
thinks Davis and so thinks John l..
Lewis, president Of the miners union.
Those who interfere with the making
Of profit should step aside. A war
would be nice way to get rid Of
them, but unfortunately wars are cost
ly financially and sometimes polite
ally. If the Car we're alive he would
testify to the truth of this assertion.
Even the Kaiser would nod his head
affirmatively.
A Ill in all, Labor Day proved that
