And They Want the Workers to Swallow
That Bunk.
Only bosses and bosses agents who repeat "as
parrot" all the boss says, could or would print
such capitalist dope intended to chloroform and
throw sand into the eyes of the workers that
they may not see or understand the truth.
Swap boSses-why motifs time the workers
had chance to go to Florida to roll in the
sand and let the bosses and bosses suckers sweat
their skin off their bones at starvation wages

and coupon clippers and deal" for the workers
with the cards stacked against them.
Yes, we do know what competition and who
the stock 'howlers" are and why they are de-
manding wage cuts and we know that for every
nickel the workers received in the past either
in cash or by virtue of the grace of the mighty
Geo. F., known as privileges" the bosses and
stock gamblers got dollars. Who the Sam Hill
wants privileges? Who the Sam Hill produces
the wealth these parasites live on? Who the
Sam Hill has better right to enjoy the fruit
of toll, if not the workers who do the toiling?

good. But the time is coming when they will
need more than a hook line and sinker to keep
them in easy pickngs
This clever stunt of trying to make the per
cent wage cut look like paying for medical treat
ment needs little explanation. First. Give the
workers enough of lfe's wholesome needs-food
clothing shelter, vacation, education, freedom of
speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of press
no exploitation no speed-up, shorter hours of
labor, more time for leisure, no unemployment,
and we won't need so many doctors and medi-
cines.
Secondly. Don't tell us that it takes 81 900 900
which is per cent of a payroll amounting to
more than $20,0000000 a year-for medical re-
