A War of Shareholders
by V. I. LENIN
Written in 1879

What is this war being fought for? Why
The government and the bourgeoisie of every
belligerent country are squandering millions of
rubles on books and papers blaming the OPP
ponent, arousing in the people furious hatred
for the enemy, stopping before no lie whatever
in order to picture themselves as the country
that was unjustly attacked and is now "de-
tending" itself In reality this is a war be-
| tween two groups Of predatory great powers
and it is fought for the division of colonies for
The enslavenent of other nations, for advan-
tagas and privileges in the world market This
IS most reactionary war, a war of modern
Shareholders fought for the purpose of retaining
and strengthening capitalist slavery England
and France are lying when they assert that
they fight The war for the freedom of Belgium
In reality, they have long been preparing for
war, and they wage it for the purpose of rob-
bling Germany, taking away her colonies; they
have made a treaty with Italy and Russia
STIMULATING the pillage and division of Turkey
and Austria. The tsarst monarchy In Russia
is wagng predatory war in which 1t strives
to seize Galicia, to take away territories from
Turkey to enslave Persia, Mongolia, etc, Ger

BY CAROLINE DREW.

THE General Defense Committee of the Indus
trial Workers of the World has shown its
true colors in the Harlan, Kentucky, miners
strike. While making a pretense of defending
the miners framed up on murder charges, this
committee treats these cases not as workers
framed for strike activity, but as criminal muir
der" cases. They fight not against the coal
operators terror but vicously attack the In
ternational Labor Defense, which is conducting
a militant defense on class struggle lines in the
bosses courts and mobilizing mass protest and
struggle to free the Harlan miners. The Mooney
Harlan-Scottsboro campaign of the Internation-
al Labor Defense is rousing millions of workers
throughout the country to fight for the release
of these class war victims.
What is the real difference between the Cen
eral Defense Committee and the International
Labor Defense? Not the amount of money each
has collected and distributed 1t is very well
known that the General Defense Committee re-
ceved from the American Civil Liberties Union
the funds it paid to Attorney Ben Golden, and
that the General Defense Committee was bank
rupt before it entered into activities concerning
the Harlan cases. Prior to that time, it was not
even formally defending any cases of workers in
the class struggle, in spite of the fact that work
ers' struggles were taking place daily. The diff
ference Is really not question or how best TO
defend these miners and keep the bosses courts
from railroading innocent workers to the electric
chair it is question of real defense, as against
pretended defense.
The policy of the International Labor Defense
is that the Kentucky miners right to organize
and strike against the starvation wages and con-
ditions is the issue on which these workers are
being slated for death by the coal operators and
the coal operators courts Their right to picket
and to defend themselves against the gun-thugs
and terror of the coal barons and their govern
ment, is the central issue on which they can
and must be successfully defended, and they can,
not be saved on the basis of defense as though
this was criminal case and that the question
is who committed the crime against the gun
thugs" The International Labor Defense knows
that the case of the Harlan miners must be
fourht by taking advantage of every LEGAL DOS
sibilty but cannot be won only through legal
defense" in bosses courts; that the defense must

FRIENDS PAY F|NE FOR
 LIBERTY JUNEAU LAWYER

Henry Roden, prominent attor-
 new. who went to jail November g rather than pay a S2O0 fine fol
 contempt of court, was released shortly after upon payment of the line, not by himself, but by his friends. MT. Roden was back al work compiling and codifying laws of Alaska.
 Without his Knowledge, when it was learned that he had elected to serve out the contempt fine, Ju- neau friends immediately started a fund to pay it.
 While the major portion of the money came from Juneau, friends throughout the Territory from Ket- chikan to Nome telegraphed their contributions. Territorial Repre- sentative Frank R. Foster took charge of the fund and made the payment in the office of the Clerk of the District Court.
 Roden'S fine was for $2OO and grew out of a contempt of court sentence as the result of a hearing on November 5, before Judge Justin ". Harding, when Roden told a witness on the witness stand, in re- sponse to a question, You are liar"
 Judge Harding interrupted the proceedings at that stage, saying: You are in contempt of court"
 MT. Roden responded: T don't care what 1t is He can't say that of my friend who is dead"
 After some further conversation between the Court and MT. Roden, the latter rendered an apology to Judge Harding but declined to do 90 to the witness as the Court had 1 directed Last Saturday MT. Roden 1 filed petition in which he again 5endered apology to the Court and also the witness, and asked that l the contempt be purged. Judge overruled the petition and

WAKE UP YOUR
 LIVER BILE: WITHOUT CAE0MEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow lot of salts, mineral water oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and q mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-1ut feeling IS your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 II this bile is not flowing freely your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in bloinishcs- Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned
 It takes those good, old CAMPERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel up and up." They contain wonderful. harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carters Little Liver Pills on tho rcd label. Resent a substitute. @ 1881 c. M. Co

EDISON IS ON
THRESHOLD OF
DYING COMA

WEST ORANGE. N. j., oct. IS
R-Thomas A. Edison today was
on the threshold Of the coma from
which his physician does not ex-
pect he will ever awake.
Dr.. Hubert S. Howe, the aged
inventors personal physician, said
the deep stupor" into which Edison
has now lapsed is closer to a coma
than he has been at any time in
the past few days and that Edison's
pulse is showing definite signs Of
weakening.
The physician said he could not
at this time tell how long 1t would
be until the end comes but he in
tends to keep in closer touch with
the Edison home throughout today
and tonight.
In his morning bulletin, DR.. Howe
said:
During the past twenty-four
hours, Mr.. Edison has not reused.
He shows no signs of discomfort,
simply resting quietly. There is no
evident emergency"
Later he explained he was wor-
ried about the change in the in
ventor's pulse and had no way OF
being certain as to how far off the
evident emergency" might be.
All members OF the inventors
immediate family were at the Edi-
son estate today when DR.. Howe
made his report.
