Those professors who use Darwin
ism as a defense of the bourgeois sys-
tenn, Pannekoek tells US, make the err
ror of comparing the social organism
with the animal body. THE survival
of the fittest" cannot be used as
support of capitalist competition, for,
while it is positively true that in the
struggle for existence those animals
that are strong, healthy and well sur
vive, yet this does not happen under
capitalist competition. Success does
not depend upon personal ability, but
upon the possession of capital. The
competition existing in the capitalist
system is something different in
requisites and results from the ami
NAL struggle for existence"
The workers do not compete with
capitalism, Pannekoek points out, but
only sell their labor power to them.
The poor do not succumb because
they are unfit, but because capitalism
creates miserable conditions, wrings
their very blood out of them, and de-
stroys the bodies and minds of the
healthiest and strongest of the work
ers. ut is the possession OF money
that determines who shall survive and
who shall perish.
THEREFORE,, while Darwinism sup
l. ports and supplements Marxism,
the two theories are distinct, one ap-
plying to the animal world and one to
human society. The bourgeois scien-
lists, in attempting to apply the the
DRY of Marx, belonging to human So
ciety, demonstrate their inability to
reason. Darwinism shows the devel
opment Of the animal world up to the
entry OF man, and the MARKHAM theory
applies after the animal developed
into man. ~
Darwinism and Marxism are not
directly connected, because although

man is an animal, he is also social
animal, who has developed tools, thot
and language, three pecularities be-
longing to man alone.
The animal organs are used just as
the humans use tools. But tools can
be changed and transformed, allowing
the development of production where
as the animal is mainly dependent up
on but one organ. The hare can only
run fast, the lion can spring and bite,
and if conditions change, the animal
is lost. But man can change his tools
while the animal cannot change his
organs
The struggle in the animal world is
a struggle of these organs, the strug-
gle in human society is a struggle of
tools. Darwinism shows that animal
organs continually develop. Marxism
shows that tools and the means of
production continually develop.
T,HE jury of backwoods Tennessee
ans may find Scopes guilty, but
before the capitalist world Bryan has
been beaten. Such a trial would be
impossible in the north, where capt.
talism is developed.
The further development Of the min
ing and steel and other other indus
tries, which have already made in
roads into the plantations Of Tennes-
see will abolish the remnants of feud-
alism and "modernist' preachers will
replace the evangelists and organs
who cling to literal Interpretation Of
the bible.
Unless before that time the indus
trial workers overthrow the capitalist
system, and throw out the prostitute
professors and preachers who are per-
verting Darwinism and attempting to
use the theory of evolution In addition
TO the bible, as means of further ex.
plotting and degrading them.

NEW YORK.-For several years in
succession the German Branch York
vile has arranged an outing to raise
funds to carry on its work. This year
we hope to meet a good many more
at the woods party on July 26 in
''Edenwald," N. Y, on account of the
critical situation existing the world
over which is forcing the workers to
sit up and take notice.
The committee has left no stone un-
turned to give all real pleasant time
and with plenty to eat and drink there
can be no doubt about it. The New
York comrades should reserve that
date, July g. Twenty minutes walk
from 233rd street station on the Lex
ington Ave. subway or the Boston &
Westchester r. r. at 133rd street
to Dyer Ave. will bring you there.

Building Permits In

class in Baltimore. Metcalf, like all
the other goose step professors thru
out the country, who are paid to
teach what big business tells them to
teach, says that evolution and the
bible do Lot conflict.
Glass collaboration and ownership
of trade union officials have proved
more efficient weapons against the
workers in the unions. And mystical
interpretations of the bible is more
efficient in doping the workers with
religion than a crassahttempt to make
them believe in miracles. The CAPT
talists well know this, as is seen by
the fact that John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
oil king, is about to build fashion
able church for one of the best known
modernist preachers in New York.
What Evolution Teaches.
Darwinism teaches us that the ami
NAL world may be arranged into div
isions and subdivisions. The animal
classes were not created individually,
but descended one from another. The
highest organisms have descended
from primitive beings having but one
cell. Under certain conditions, some
animal kinds will necessarily develop
into other animal kind. Parents trans
NIT their peculiarities to children, but
II the same time the children diverge
from their parents in some respects
and also differ from each other.
DARWIN'S theory OF the struggle
- for existence" shows that favor
able variations in animals and plants
tend to be preserved and unfavorable
ones to be destroyed. Those which
are best adapted to existing conditions
survive, and new species are produced
from the old ones. ~

ings," says Pannekoek, "the teachings
of Darwin and of Marx, the one in the
domain of the ORGANIC world, and
the other upon the field of HUMAN
SOCIETY, raised the theory of evolu-
ton to a positive science"
Marx proved that class distinction
were owing to the various functions
each played in the productive process.
The methods of production have con-
tinuously changed with the progress
of time. The manner of labor and
the productive relationship demand
upon the tools with which people
work.
Thus the MARKHAM theory disclosed
the propelling force and the mechan-
ism of social development. In doing
this it has proved that history is not
something irregular and that the vari-
GUS social systems are not the result
of chance or haphazard events, but
that there is a regular deyiopment in
a definite direction. that social
development does not cease with our
system, because technique continually
develops"
MARXISM is not an abstract theory
A'A but sharp weapon used by the
proletarians in their struggle against
the capitalist class. And we have al
ready seen how the bourgeoisie made
Darwinism weapon in their struggle
to pervert Darwinism &c tool against
the workers.
In commenting on the Scopes trial,
many OF the capitalist professors are
belittling the theory of evolution, de-
claring it Obsolete" and unimport-
ant, serving the master class by at
tempting to show that additions to
the evolution theory, which strength
ened the theory of descent, really de-

"Darwin's theory that man is the

DUT new enemy of the bourgeoisie
II and the remnants OF the feudal
system alike sprang UP out of the
capitalist system of production-the
industrial proletariat. The bour-
geois, threatened by the growing pow

tool which had been used to lull the
discomfort of the serfs, and issued
the slogan that the masses must be
brought to religion.

COAL OPERATORS
PLAY CONFIDENCE
CAME ON MINERS
Want Them to Work
Without Any Pay
Especial to The DAILY workerI

TRIADELPHIA, w. Va, July %
Mines No. 2 and are idle here, as
a result of the Paisley Coal Company
trying to force the miners to work
up to August 25th, without any pay.
The Lucy mine at Stewartsville, Ohio,
is idle for the same reason. The
Company claims that they are un-
able to pay the miners before that
time, as they (the company will not
be able to get the money sooner.
The contract existing between the
men and the coal company calls for
pay days on the 10 and 25th of each
month, and the men are determined
to force the company to live up to the
contract. The miners remember that
many Of their brothers in Illinois,
have been forced to do without their
pay now for over Is months as a
result of similar scheme.
Stole Miners Pay.
The miners in Pickneyville, Du-
quoin, SCISSOR and other places in
district IL, worked for over a month
and have received nothing for their
work. This happened over a year
ago and there is no prospects yet
for any pay. In one mine the men
went back to work, on the promise
Of pay and worked another month,
then shut down again, and paid the
men nothing for that month either
making two months pay that this
company owes the men.
Another coal company had the men
go to work and put the shaft in opera
tion, clean up the roads, falls, timber
where necessary, and put 1t in a
position ready to start, then as sud
denly shut down again and the men
got beat out of this also.
No wonder the men here are re-
fusing to work a month or SIX weeks
without pay They remember the
Illinois steals, and as one man said
he don't propose to give his labor in
charity to the thieving coal barons.
