began to call in voice that meant
trouble. Right away the other feather

What is the trouble. Little Friend?"
cried his cousin Chippy the Chipping
Sparrow,
Trouble enough, Cousin Chippy,
trouble enough!' exclaimed Little
Friend. sally Sly has visited our

What OF that? Did she steal or break
mo" replied Little Friend. we had
only one egg there and she didn't dis
turh that"
Then what are you making such
fuss about?" demanded Jenny. cooking
up her tail in that pert way of hers.
"She left an egg of her own there"
replied Little Friend.
"Ohm exclaimed Jenny, and for once
could find nothing moro to say.
What are you going to do about it9"
demanded Sammy Jay, SHOW me the
nest and I'll take care OF that egg for
you. I wouldn't mind good fresh egg
on my bill of fare. Come on, Little
Friend. show me where that nest is"
Little Friend shook his head. Thank
you. Sammy" said he. ''but must de-
cline your offer. There are two eggs
in that nest and you might make a
mistake and get the wrong one"
But If took both I'd be sure to
get the right one" said Sammy, with
q twinkle in his eyes.
Where is Sally Sly nowp" inter-
rupted Sunshine the Yellow Warbler,
an anxious note in his voice.
Probably hunting for your nest" re-
piled Little Friend. II hope you have
it we'll hidden"
Excuse mel" exclaimed Chippy the
Chipping Sparrow. IT must go warn
Mrs. Chippy not to leave our nest for a
second"
THE same thought Just struck mel"
exclaimed Redeye the Vireo. 1T is out
rsgeous that such things can happen.
We all ought to get together and drive
this Sally Sly away"
And probably while We were hunt
ing for her she would be dropping an
egg in some unprotected nest" spoke
up Welcome Robin. THE thing for
you little folks to do is not to leave your

course the surety companies will not supply
surety bonds" that are sure to be forfeited.
This diabolical device is a new addition to
the laws and practices of courts intended to
stop the organization of workers, to prevent
speaking by workers with grievances, either in
strikes or otherwise, and generally to obliter-
ate all activity of our class in protection
against employers or for initiative in improve
ment of their conditions.
1t is understood that whenever any petty
capitalist judge may receive from his masters
instructions to do so, he can put all active
workers under such a bond and keep them I'M
der bond as long as the employers may desire.
AS far as we know it is the first time this
particular device has been applied in just this
way. 1t will probably become highly vaua-
BILE addition to the injunction as means of
enSlaving the workers.
The textile workers of Fall River and New
Bedford owe it to the working class as whole
to fight to the finish this beastly invention of
the bosses little judge.
But the working class as a whole owes it to
the textile workers to come Immediately to
their rescue. This is flaring light to show
the workers that the textile workers fight is
the fight of our entire class-against the en-
tire capitalist class.
It is the universal handcuff that may be
snapped upon the hands that are building the
labor movement anywhere.
Not nearly enough support is being given to
the textile workers of New Bedford and Fall
River. They are fighting heroically enough to
inspire other workers far and wide. The strug-
gle is leading directly toward the formation of
a great new Textile Workers Union on a ma
tional scale which promises to be one of the
most splendid organizations in the American
labor movement.
To win their fight they need relief funds for
their families as we'll as defense funds against
such measures as this.
Help them, fellow workers!

The judicial tools of the Massachusetts tex
tile kings have added within the past few days
a new and drastic means of breaking strikes
and suppressing the labor movement.
Peter Hegelias, strike leader, was tried be-
fore Hanify, the Fall River judge, and of
course the strike leader was convicted simply
because the mill owners who rule the city and
who own the judge wanted him convicted.
Hegelias appealed, and gave bail pending the
appeal.
4 But that bail for appeal was not enough.
Here comes the new device-a device in
tended to handcuff Hegelias and any other
lnion organizer to whom it may be applied to
revent their activity on behalf of the strik-
ng workers.
The new device is called Surety bond"
What does it mean? The organizer was COM
elled to put up a bond of $1,000 for surety"
lentirely aside from the regular bail for ap-
eal What happens next? Simply this:
If the man under the $1,000 surety bond"
res anything of any sort whatever that the
II owners don't like, the police arrest him
nd the 81 900 is forfeited automatically!
Here is the universal handcuff for labor or
anizers!

ALL over the world we see the
a growing intensity of the class
struggle, as always, as the birth
pangs grow more acute, and the old
comes more and more in conflict
with the new, we see the old being
forced to resort more and more to
force to try and hold their grip on
that which keeps them the dominat-
ing class in society, property. With
the new problems confronting them
they are forced to come out more
and more into the open and fight
for their right to hold on to their
possessions. More and more they
are forced to show that their pratt
ing about liberty, equality, right of
free speech and the right of public
meetings and of free press is the
sheerest hypocrisy. Forced out of
this entrenched position and having
to come out into the open they are
showing to the workers the mailed
fist in the velvet glove in such a
manner and IN such a way that
there is no MISLEADING their purpose,
and that when they are put to the
test they will use every force to
hold and maintain their position at
all costs at the top of the heap
against the workers as long as pos
sible.
One of the means they are now
resorting to is to organize their
shock troops, for their protection,
out in the open, and to resort to
suppression of the opposing forces
of the workers, with ever more bru-
tally, and in doing this they are
laying aside their former hypocrit-
ical masks and pretenses and dis
closing to the workers that they
care not what they may have to do;
if necessity calls they are ready to
do anything and commit any crime
to safeguard their own cause.

AS history goes, ten years isn't a
"A long time. But to the revolu-
tionary strategist, ten years is a
long time. The reason for this is
not that he is obsessed with the no.
ton, hackneyed by cynics, that "the
revolution is around the corner"
But because he knows the delicately
balanced and explosive nature of
capitalism will not stand for long
term prophecy. Who, in 1915, could
have predicted proletarian dicta-
torship in Russia by 1917? Who, in
1914, foresaw the world dominant
position attained by the United
States capitalism a few years later ?
Which brings us to the prophecy
of one who is anything but revolu-
ZIONIST. There promises to be,
within decade, such development
of producing capacity as will far
outrun the absorbing power of all
