In a few days such newly-hatched expedients as freight rates will be relegated to the graveyard of\ndead political artifices, while perennial policies like tariff\nrate on corkscrews will be carefully put away until next\nelection.\nThe sole issue to be considered by those workers who\ncast a vote is whether they are content with present social\nconditions; whether they are willing to continue toiling for\na daily pittance which seldom does more than cover their\npresent needs, and frequently less.\nIt ia not unequal freight rates nor badly regulated tariffs\nthat accounts for the plight in which the Canadian worker\nfinds himself. If the grain. \"flows west\" the workers in the\nEast will be unemployed to the same extent that there is\nincreased employment here, and vice versa. That, at best,\nis but tinkering with effects, leaving underlying causes untouched. The cause of the worker's troubles lies much deeper.\nSociety as at present constituted has nothing to offer\nthese who work for a daily wage. Our present social order\nis founded on the enslavement of the many by the few; a\nsocial system wherein a handful of wealthy plutocrats own\neverything, thus compelling the great mass to work for them\nand serve them. If a profit cannot be produced the workers\nare thrown out of a job and left to shift for themselves. The\nneeds of mankind are not considered, but whether a profit\ncan bc realized from the transaction.\nThe productivity of Labor is increasing by leaps and\nbounds. Every year sees the perfection of some new mechanical device which accelerates production, throws more\nworkers out of employment, and gluts the market. Under\na sane social system mechanical improvements would, be a\ncause for joy, but in the madhouse in which we dwell it is\nthe cause of untold suffering. The worker's task is to make\nthe machinery of production the common property of all, and\nto see that every mechanical improvement goes to lighten\nthe load of those who toil instead of benefitting a privileged\nfew.\nThe candidates of the Liberal and Conservative parties\narc the aggressive champions of the present social order. They\nare the representatives of those who profit from private ownership, and as such are partly responsible for whatever conditions obtain. Neither Mackenzie King nor Arthur Meighen\nhas ever raised a finger on behalf of the working class of\nthis country. Not one single act of theirs can be pointed to\nas having benefitted the workers, but on thc contrary many\ninstances can be shown where they have spurned the elementary requests of the working masses.\nIt is to effect a change in this state of affairs that Labor\ncandidates are in' the field at this election. Their program\nhas nothing to do with freight, whether it be wheat or other-\nAvise. They do not represent the rights of property, but the\nrights of men and women\u2014human rights.\nThere is but one issue before the Workers of this country, and that is a class issue. Shall the present system of\nexploitation, with all its attendant miseries, continue, or shall\na change be made. Those who favor retaining the present\nsystem will vote either Liberal or Conservative\u2014it matters\nnot which. Those who arc opposed to capitalism, who desire\nto free themselves and their class from the shackles of slavery will vote Labor. It matters not what particular carmine\nshade onc adheres to, it is their duty to support the candidates of Labor. Whether these men will be able to effect\nany fundamental change by being in parliament is also beside\nthe question at this particular moment. They cannot do less\nou behalf of the working class than such living emblems to\nbuffoonery as, i'or instance, Harry Stevens or Gerry McGeer.\nThey can expose the hollow shams transacted in Ottawa, and\nshow thc class character of the parliamentary institution.\nLabor had two representatives in the last parliament. There\nis no reason why that number should not be increased by a\ndozen at this election. Working men and women, it is your\nclass duty on October 29th to VOTE LABOR.\n\"GERRY\"\nT IKE his brethren in the Con-\nservative eamp, Jerry McQeer\nlikes to drape himself in the\nhabiliments of patriotism\u2014a convenient decoy for snaring votes.\nBut Jerry is not content with\nplaying one role. Like the serpent in the Lake of Lerna, which\nHercules slew, his political strategy is a hydra-headed affair, capable of sprouting two heads whenever one is cut off.\nJerry would like to appear as a\nfreedom-loving, rollicking, two-\nfisted Irishman, performing the\nastonishing feat of being infatuated with the banks of the Shannon, and the British Empire at\none and the same time\u2014a sort of\npocket edition of General Mulcahy. Dancing to tunes played\nby Winston Churchill, while masquerading as the prototype of the\nIrish race apparently is not regarded as an anomaly by this eminent K. C, who has so successfully converted freight rates into\ncold cash.\nLove of liberty ls entwined with\nall Irish sentimens. Freedom from\ndomination was ever the theme\nof Irish song and story. Irish\nheroes are always those who have\nfought and died for liberation\nfrom foreign yoke; but the versatile Jerry, it appears, would barter the time-honored sentiments\nof his race for a sessional indemnity, even although his countrymen never regarded riches as the\nescutcheon of valor.\nJerry does not belong to the\nvintage of patriots who bespatter\nbattlefields with their blood. His\ngladiatorial propensities tend\nmore to the bark then the bite.\nFrom his campaign iiterature we\ngather that in 1914, when the\ncall to arms rang out, and patriots were rushing to retrieve\n\"bleeding Belgium\" from the iron\nheel of the Teutonic \"Hun,\"\nJerry betook himself to the safer\nif withal less spectacular task of\nsaving British Columbia from\nthe machinations of Billy Bowser.\nThe two-fisted Irish pro-Briton\nhad eschewed the manly sword\nfor the fish-wife's lance\u2014the\ntongue.\nBut the precocious Jerry kept\nhis weather eye open for future\neventualities.\" In 1918, the year\nin which a kind providence, aided\nby Bolshevik propaganda in the\nGermany army, ended the war,\nJerry enlisted \"despite the pressure of his private business, his\npublic life, and the pleasures of\nhis home,\" as his campaign literature puts it. If khaki garb\ncould procure social standing\nJerry was going to get it, even\nalthough it was by the back door\nroute, a*pd after danger was over.\nYes, the patriotic Jerry \"Joined\nup,\" but not for the allegedly\nchivalrous purpose of saving\nFrench and Belgian maidens, nor\nfor the grim but glorious task of\n\"ending all wars.\" Jerry, the\nscion of a freedom loving race,\nwas in the Siberian Expeditionary\nForces, recruited for the purpose\nof imposing the tyranny of czarism on the Russia^ people. When\nhis country was In danger (according to his own tenents) he\nwasn't there, but he jumped in\nwith both feet when it became\nthe mercenary task of aiding\nChurchill to yoke the Bussian\nworkers to the despotic rule of an\nabsolute monarchy.\nTruly\" this Irish prodigy, like\nthe Wlzzard of Wales, is exceedingly versatile\u2014a necessary quality in a good politician. His actions reveal him to be one thing,\nhis election poses another.\nSAKLATVALA\n\u2022T p. of L. , convention believe.\nConvention Denounces\nYellow Dog Contracts\nATLANTIC CITY, N.

Name the 16,-\n634 individuals who were of such\noutstanding worth to America in\n1923 that they received a combined\nincome which would support 1,-\n260,000 families at the average\nwage of a skilled railroad mechanic\n\u2014and we will send you a year's\nfree subscription.\nYou can mention Rockefeller,\nMorgan, Gary, Ford and perhaps a\ndozen other big noises in financial\njuggling, but how about the remaining 16,620 to whom the workerB of the country were forced to\nturn over $2,140,434,697. This is\n20 per cent, of the entire amount\npaid in wages to all the factory\nworkers in the country in that\nyear.\nThese 16,634 individuals received\n$912,587,633 just for owning assorted stocks in the country's productive enterprises. It amounts to\nover $1,000,00.,000 if dividends\nand Interests are combined. They\nown a pretty big chunk of the\ncountry, judging from the full report of the IT. S. commissioner of\nInternal revenue on 1923 Incomes.\nThe country's 5 richest men,\ngrouped together by the bureau to\nhamper identification, had gross\nincome in 1923 of $42,835,939, an\naverage of $8,354,492. They received $35,728,185 in dividends and\nonly $206,716 in wages and\nsalaries. They got about 180 times\n\u2022 the income they draw for personal\nservice which in turn probably ex\naggerates their relative worth to\nthe country. Altogether their\ncombined Income would have supported 30,000 families according to\nthe wage earner's standard approved by the National (employers') Industrial Conference board.\nThe 74 individuals whose net incomes were over $1,000,000 were\napparently worth $178,954,543 to\nthe country in 1923, an average of\n$2,415,000 apiece. Their combined\nincome would have provided a mechanic's wage for 100,000 families.\nTheir dividends amounted to $85,-\n387,024.\nDropping to where wealthy families must skimp we find 4,182 individuals with net incomes over\n$100,000. Their grand total was\n$1,127,273,807 or an average of\n$270,000 apiece. Here is enough\nincome to pay mechanic's wages to\nmore than 150 times their number.\nThirty-four of the 74 persons\nwith Incomes of more than $1,000,-\n000 live ln New York, while 62 of\nthe 74 live In Now York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
