BY ADOLF WOLFF.

pASSAIC is the battle field,
OF boss and working class.
Our war cry, eve shall never yieldp'
We vow, "They shall not passp'
Your bloodhound thugs can bark and beat,
And throw US into jail,
But bravely their assaults wen meet.
Their dirty work shall fail
We do not battle for the Lord,
But for living wage;
This drives the greedy master horde,
To curse and fume and rage.
In this great war for human right.
Alone we do not stand,
All are concerned in this brave fight,
All workers of this land.
Should we be vanquished on this field,
By the army of black Greed,
Then workers everywhere must yield,
To those who make them bleed.
Workers, join us in this fight,
It's yours as well as ours.
Wen win If we will all unite
Against the ruling powers

THE PSYCHOLOGIST ON HIS HIND
LEGS.

LEGS.
EROM the sources Of Professor Nc
: Dougal, the well-known English
psychologist. many draw their psyche
logical wisdom. It is curious, there,
fore, to learn what this representative
OF bourgeois psychology has to say
about revolutionary mass action. This
sayant differentiates between a "sim-
pie crowd" and the army. The differ
ence between them, he maintains, lies
not only in the discipline, but in the
education and traditions received by
them. The Simple crowd" stands on
the lowest rung of the ladder of Gull
ture and judgment. The reason for
this is that those ideas which are
grasped by the crowd must be ac-
cessSble to the mind of the most back
ward and unintelligent member Of the
throng. Thus the most unintelligent
person brings down the standard of
intelligence of the rest of the crowd to
his own level. Even intelligent people
act differently in a group because of
the variety Of their education and cul-
ture.
In mass action only the primitive
tendencies, common to all, come to
expression. Another reason for the in
ferior intelligence of the crowd, &C
cording to McDougal, is its "suggesti-
bility." The throng impresses each
participant with feeling of mystic
rious and invincible power. It cannot
resist prestige. The most intelligent

sesses. And II action is necessary and
one kind Of action is required, the In
dividual may have to choose between
friend and foe, and trihing differences
must be overlooked. Pondering and
hesitating may harm more than ben
eft the case. The individual gives
his undivided attention to the occur
renee and acts quickly.

say with an atheist listening to a
Billy Sunday sermon. While the SER
mon will amuse tn atheist. the zeaIot
will be carried off his feet, for the
zealot was believer before he went
to the tabernacle. Neither is the
sense of invincibility of the crowd
always present. The crowd may meas
ure up the numbers of his and the
other sides of the fence and, accord
ingly, retreat or attack.
After we acquainted ourselves with
the behavior of the individual in the
crowd, let us proceed with the beha-
vior Of the crowd itself. According to
Mr.. McDougal, its Characteristic traits
are-fckleness and extremity. The
crowd is capable of numbering the
same person who was extolled a short
while before. 1t swings in its actions
from a wild orgy of murder to a ten
der and touching care. The crowd has
not will power, therefore it follows the
leader, who makes his appeal in the
most elementary way.
Why is the crowd both generous and
cruel? Why irresolute and hasty In
judgment, granting even that the char
asteristics are correct? 1t only signi-
fies that the occasion calls for action
of such kind as the individual is not
confronted with in normal times, and
with which he cannot cope single
handed. But is not that time when
one must go further in his action than
in personal affairs? That he is not
behaving in everyday life in such ex-
IRENE fashion may be explained from
the fact that he is power1ess and iso-
lated from his associates. Another
reason may be that he would not have
the courage when alone. That is mass
action where danger and obstacles are
threatening does require wilIpower
and personal sacrifice; and In this
respect the revolutionary act is highly
moral. Not that the individual is not
emotional when alone, but he is not
daring enough, or is irresolute, or may
consider his isolated action futile, at
times even Understanding it.
From this discussion It is evident
how true" and "impartial' the de-
scription of the revolutionary crowd
is. From the scientific characteri-
cation of the army we shall see next
time how well the psychologist serves
