Sunday at the\nTo any one accustomed to listening to the streams ot personal\nabuse and charges of corruption\nthat are the inevitable ~accomps.nl\nment to the political campaigns of\ntbe old political parties, the meetings of the Socialist Party of Canada must appear as \"very unusual.\" Contrary to the opinion expressed In the columns of one of\nour local dailies, there are quite a\nnumber of citlsens who can attend\npolitical meetings in the hope of\ngetting eome Information or knowledge, as was evidenced by the\ncrowd that filled the Empress theatre on Bunday last, when J. Harrington and C. Stephenson occupied the platform for the Socialist\nParty of Canada.\nS. Earp, also one of the candidates on the ticket of the Socialist\nParty, acted as chairman, and\nafter his Introductory Remarks and\nInformation as to further meetings\nto be held In different parts of the\nelty during lhe campaign, called\nupon C.

Liberalism, once a great\nprogressive movement, is now decadent and bankrupt, with no liberating message for mankind,\nwhich function has now fallen\nupon the Socialist movement. The\nLiberalism of current politics must\nnot be confounded with the historical Liberal movement, as the preeent day politicians were only con-\nearned with the \"facing In or out\"\nIn the game tor spoils of office, and\nwere trading on the traditions of\nthe past. The roots of both Liberalism and, Socialism are to be\nfound ln the economic conditions\nof their respective epochs. Marx\nhas said somewhere, that It is an\n-axiom of political economy that all\ntrue political representation must\nbe and can only be oiaod on definite economic incer&i.s. The meaning of this axiom ls of fundamental Importance. The economic conditions of the 16, 17 and 18th centuries gave birth to Liberalism,\narising out of the conflict between\nthe trading and commorcial classes\nwith the land owning class, and the\nInstitutions of feudalism. Individual liberty to acquire Individual\nproperty; freedom of trade and\ncommerce; freedom of contract, so\nthat the great reservoir of serfs\nmight be tapped for Industry: and\nequality, special privileges to none\n(the only privileged class then being the feudal barons). These\nwere the political doctrines put\nforth In. the struggle of the rising\n(Continued on page I)\nControl Both Houses in\nState of North\nDakota\n(By the Federated Press)\nFargo, N.

Woods opened the entertainment by calling on E. Simpson for a\nsong, which was appreciated by all\npresent D.

But the\nUnited Slates had furnished to Poland 2,500,000,000 francs In goods\nand loans. At the rate of exchange\nexisting at the time these loans\nwere made, the United States >is\ncreditor to Poland to the total of\nabout 1260,000,000.\nIt was shown, at the Brussels\nconference, that the Poles would\nprobably quit their military aggressions against Lithuania and\nother neighboring states when\nthey were refused further funds.\nNow they receive another ray of\nsunshine upon their war-making,\nfrom the government of the United\nStates.\nBut Poland cannot pay those\nbonds. She cannot even pay the\nInterest on them for next year, unless we lend her the money with\nwhich to pay.

With\nrecollections of strenuous days in the year 1912 when findlay's cossacks carved their way to glory, and numerous arrests of labor, men were made, it would appear ta,he about time the supporters of law and order got busy\nto relieve the situation, unless they are of the opinion,that ^ne recruiting of a machine gun section for the city will\nbe the solution in the event of hungry men, who while Buffering themselves from want, turn to anything to relieve\nthe'suffering of their dear ones. The city council has realised the-seriousness of the situation as is evidenced by the\nfact that a three-hour session was held recently to deal Wit It-the situation. The city couneil cannot, however, take\ncare of the provincial situation, and unless that is cared for, thie city of Vancouver, whioh is the natural clearing house,\nwill be flooded with the unemployed. While the politicians ,are busy mud-slinging, there are thousands of men who\nare unable to secure work. As work is the only way by wh Mi the working class can obtain the necessities of life,\nwhat have the politicians to offer to the unemployed! The sending of a number of working-class representatives to the\nlegislature might be of service at this time, as they may be aftle to bring enough pressure to bear to have relief work\nstarted to relieve the pressure to some extent! The estimate, Obtained from reliable sources, is that there are at least\nseven thousand workers unemployed in the city. \"Prosperity\" has again struck British Columbia. Possibly the Oliver\nGovernment or the Conservative party will spare enough time to deal with a situation that may become so acute that\nserious results may ensue before the winter is over as a reailt of unemployment. At least the law and order crowd\ncannot, after this, state that they knew nothing of the situation. If they want law and order, let them act, and act\nnow. It may be too late when hungry men are compelled to act for themselves.\nDonations to tho Defense Fund\nHedley Metal Miners Unit, of\nthe O. B.

Francis Ahern, Australian Representative)\nArising out of what ls considered to be one of the most Important\nindustrial conferences held ln Australia, there has been formed a\nnew industrial organization embracing railway and tramwaymen\nthroughout Australia, to be known\nas the \"Australian Railways\nUnton.\" The new organization Is\nthe first step In an important move\nto form a \"triple alliance\" In Australia on the lines of the Triple Alliance ln Qreat Britain. The ultimate object, of course, ls the formation of One Big Union.\nThiB Important conference met\nIn Melbourne (Australia) during\nSeptember last, and was attended\nby the Queensland Railway Union,\nSouth Australian Railways and\nTramways Association, Amalgama.\nted Ral'Way and Tramway Association of New South Wales, Tas-\nmanian itallways Union and the\nVictorian Rallwaya Union, and\nother smaller organizations. After\naffirming the deahabililty of forming One Big Union of railway and\ntramway workers It was decided\nthat the head .ofllce of the new organization should be located at\nUnity HaU. Melbourne, Australia,\nThe following ollicers were elected\nas the flrst executive of the union;\nPresident, A. Luckley; vice-presidents, T. Moroney, W. Lodge; secretary, W. Smith; members of the\nAustralian Council: R. Jowett, J.\nO'Sullivan, P. M. Kinie'ry and P.\nDufT.\nOne Big Union\nThe constitution of the organization is industrial as against craft,\nembracng all gr'ades of offlwrs and\nemployees of, or in connection With\nall railway and tram systems In\nAustralia. It Is by no means a\nfederation of state unions, but a\ncomplete amalgamation; with a\nuniform policy, membership tickets, or to be plainer, \"One Big\nUnion of Rallwaymen throughout\nAustralia.\"\nWith modifications fot* geograph-\n(Contlnued on page 2)\nIT\nConscription Supporters\nNot Permitted to Rejoin Par^y\nDuring the fights ln Australia\nagainst conscription during the\nwar, many Labor supporters, Including members of parliament,\nsupported conscription, although it\nwas against .the declared objects\nof the Labor Party, which stood\nuncompromisingly for no conscription. They were immediately expelled from the party. Since the\nwar has ended, many of them attempted to get back Into the party,\nbut without success. When the\nAustralian Labor Party met in conference in South Australia, during\nthe third week of September last,\nfurther attempts were made by expelled persons to get back iu the\nparty. Thc'conference unanimously refused to re-admit them, und\nlaid down a decision that stands\nTor all time, that no par-time traitors of Labor need apply for re-\nadmission to the party, dhe Austrnlian Labor Party ls uncompromising towards those former members who would have sold the manhood of the country as conscripts\nto fight In oversea wars, and on no\nacrxunt will it allow them to be\nreadmitted to thc party again.\nOpponents to Newcastle\nLabor Candidate Are\nScored by Speakers\nAn audience of 400 listened attentively to the speakers on behalf of Sam Outhrle, Labor candidate for Newcastle district, at a\nmeeting held last Saturday ia\nGould's Hall, Ladysmith, Thomas.\nDoherty called the meeting to order and introduced Mrs. G. Corse\nof Vancouver' aa the first ipeaker.\nComrade Corse took up various\nmatters of .vital Importance to the,\nworkers ln the present campaign,\namong which was the housing\nproblem, better education problem,\nunemployed problem and showed\nwhere all these were not great\nproblems tf the legislators tackled\nthem as only a working class candidate knows how. -\nT. A. Barnard,. labor candidate\nfor Nanaimo, also addressed the\nmeeting and reviewed the statements of the candidates who were\nopposing Sam Guthrie, as tb their\nqualifications to represent tbe citizens of Newcastle riding. When\nopened up to public view from o,\nworking class standpoint, these\ncandidates could do nothing else\nbut line up with either of the two\nold parties on every Issue as against\nreal working class legislation. He\npointed out that the capitalist system was bankrupt and tbat only\nby a radical change, which the old\nparties could not possibly support,\ncould the workers ever hope to\nmove on to emancipation from the\nmisery and degradation of capitalism. He pointed out that not\none supposed labor law that had\nbeen'pficed on the statute bookB\nby the old parties were being' enforced ln the interest of the workers, hence these were practically\nvalueless.\nSam Guthrie, Labor candidate\nfor the Newcastle riding, was the\nnext speaker and he started out\nby telling how he had been nominated at a public meeting, whereas\nthe other candidates had been\nnominated at a. private meeting.\nGuthrie gave his views on reconstruction and pointed out how\neverything that had been done for\nthe returned men had been but a\ncamouflage to hide the real poll.\ncles of the government. His opponents were picturing terrible\nthings In connection with Socialism, whereas this message was one\nof hope for the working clasa. Ho\ndealt with the revolutions (bloodless) that had taken place bn the\nIndustrial field In connetclon with\nlabor saving Inventions, all of which\nhad only benefitted the ruling\nclass, He dealt with the various\nways millionaires had been made\nand pointed out that It was impossible for these men to have made\ntheir money by useful work or by\nsaving. It had all been made by\nexploiting the working class. Labor has determined to stop thts\nand lf returned to Victoria he will\nrepresent nobody but the workers,\nand work for anything in their interest.\nCarpentera Move\nThe Amalgamated Society of\nCarpenters & Joiners have removed\ntheir head quarter's to 148 Cordova\nstreet west.

If.\npeople believed all that each said\nabout the other, he declared, they\nwould soon know the truth. He\nmaintained that there wat a marked apathy noticeable at all the political meetings of both Liberate\nand Conservatives, and contended\nthat the people were \"fed up with\nthe whole crowd.\"\n'We can not expect to do everything at once,\" he added, \"but it is\ncertain If you send representatives\nof Labor to the legislature, there\nwill be a marked Improvement ln\nconditions that effect the working-\nman.\"\nJ. S. Woodsworth, who with\nMessrs. w. R. Trotter and Thomas\nRichardson, has been nominated on\nthe Federated Labor ticket, spoke\nfor half an hour on general Labor\ntopics. He referred to the absence\nof a prominent Labor exponent, W.\nA. Pritchard, whom conditions prevented from being ln the present\nflght. Mr. Woodsworth mentioned\nrecent difficulties In Winnipeg and\npointed out that at present 50 per\ncent, of the aldermen of that city\nwere Laborltes. This, he said, had\nbettered laboring conditions in tha,.\nprairie metropolis, and he was of\nthe opinion that lf Labor representatives were elected to the British\nColumbia Legislature, It would not\nbe necessary for workingmen to go\nbegging \"hat In hand\" when legislation affecting them was desired.\nHe charged the government with\npermitting lands to lie out of use,\nthe result being that eggs were Imported from China, mutton from\nAustralia and other products from\nother' countries. And ye't, he contended, British Columbia was quite\nable to feed herself and would do\nso under proper governmental supervision. The credit of the country\nmust be placed behind the producer, t\nWoodsworth dealt also with educational and medical matters.\nEducation was not free, he argued,\nand lf lt was found necessary for\nthe soldier to be In good physical\ncondition, then was It not fitting,\nthat the civilian should also enjoy\ngood health, he asked?\nThe speaker concluded by stating that only radical changes\nwould prevent chaos. Revolutions\ngrew out of the misery of the common people, and with civilisation\ncollapsing in Europe, the citizens\nof Canada could not sit idly by at>d\nhope to escape.

The Liberal, had no credit coming for any Improvement\nalong this line, said Mr. Trotter,\nand he added that If th.

The government should\nnot make any profit from Its sale.\nWho Owns the Country\nJarties May, vice-president of the\nHampstead, England, I. L.

Attorney General and Minister\nof Labor Farris opposed the measure because, he said, \"of the\nneed for fullest production of these commodities, particularly\nat the present time.\"\nHe was supported in this action by Messrs Bell, Yorston,\nNelson, Duncan, Jackson, Cowper, Sloan, Oliver, King, Macdonald, M. A., Sutherland, Manson, Thompson, Anderson,\nMacdonald, M. C.; Weart, MacLean, Pattullo, Hart, Barrow,\nWhiteside, Walters, Pauline, Hall, Buckham and Fisher.\nMajor Burde who introduced the bill was supported by\nMessrs. Pooley, Schofleld, Jones, McDonald, A; Mackenzie,\nF. J,; Hancs, Giolma, Ross, Bowser, Rose, McKenzie, W. A.;\nHawthornthwaite, Willson, Mcintosh and Stewart.\nAt the same time the C. P. R. was trying to bring into the\neountry. 20,000 southern Europeans because they stated there\nwas a shortage of men able and willing to adapt themselves to\nthe conditions which were entailed in camp and construction\n.work of the country;\nAs was proven at the time there were ample men in thc\neountry available for this work but who refused to take it be-.\ni cajuse of the damnable insanitary conditions and the long hours\nand poor pay.\nThc Minister of Health, and the combination Minister of\nLabor and Attorney General whoso duty it is to enforce the\nlaws and protect the interests of the workers not only failed\ncriminally in these respects, but led the opposition to the enactment of the 8 hour day law.\nNow a few months later there is a wholesale shutting down\npf camps and mills and the other industries, and many thousands out of work, and the certainty of bread lines being in\nexistence everywhere throughout the winter months.\nWhere was the vision of the \"statesmen\" who could not see.\na few months ahead and take action to minimize the evil effects\nof a long work day and a system of working the employee to\nthe limit of his physical endurance.\nWould not an 8 hour day, or even one of 6 hours, be a more\nlogical state of affairs than one of ten or twelve hours for those\nwho are working and semi-starvation for a large number of unemployed.\nThe political incompetents are endeavoring to get back into\noffice for a new term before the winter sets in with its thousands of unemployed, for they realize that it would be hopeless\nfor them to expect'to be re-elected once the workers fully\nrealized the position they were placed in and how little would\nbe done to assist them.\nIt is useless, however, to expect any better treatment from\nany representative of the old political parties. They arc all\ntools of the employing and financial interests and supporters of\nthe present inefficient social system.\nSuch benefit as it is possible to derive through parliamentary\naction will only be attained by supporting those candidates who\nare class conscious and whoso aim and object is to overthrow\nthe present system of production for profit, and substitute a\nsystem of production for use, for only by such means can poverty and unemployment be abolished.\nThe main, instrument of working class emancipation will be\na strong united militant economic organization. One that recognizes that the working class and the employing class have nothing in oommon.\nEconomic power is the source and basis of all other forms, of\nsocial influence.

There\nmay be workers who will question\nthe wisdom of a strike at a time\nwhen the camps are all closing\ndown, but to us who were on the\nJob there was, under the circumstances, no other action we oould\ntake, as members of an aggressive\norganisation ln the modern labor\nmovement.\nPrior to the 16th-of this month\ncamp conditions were fairly good\nand the wage scale as high as that\npaid In most camps. On the evening of the 16th the following notice\nwas posted: -\nOp and after November 19 the\nschedule of pay in this camp will\nbe as follows; . \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 .\nCrew of yarder and skyline\nswing, while yarding\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nCents\nPer Log\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Hook tender 12\nHigh rigger 11\nEngineers t%\nRigging slinger 1_\nChokermen 7\nFiremen 6 _\nWood buckers {,%\nWood splitters 6K\nSignals '. 5fc\nKnotters ._*%\nWhile moving or'. on other\nwork\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nPer day\nHook tender :.|9.60\nHigh rigger 9,00\nEngineers '. 7.60\nRig slinger .: 6.50\nChokermen 6.50\nFiremen , \u00E2\u0080\u009E 4.50\nWood buckers 4.50\nWood splitters 4.50\nSignals 4.50\nKnotters 4.60\nOn small swing\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nPer day\nEngineers |7.00\nFiremen 4.60\nWood buck 4.50\nSwing reader\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nPer day\nEngineer $7.50\nFiremen 5.60\nWood bucker 5.50\nPig men 7.00\nBull cooks 5.00\nFlunkeys 4.60\nFiler ; ;.... 6.60\nFalters and buckers, $1.00 per M.\nThis meant a cut of from 91 to\n92 a day; In addition, the yarder\nand skyline men are asked to work\nfor nothing, Inasmuch as they were\naskod to work contract at so much\nper log ln a place where there Is a\n1200 foot haul and an extremely\nbushy country. They have been\nyarding on this tree for a week or\nmore and the average has been\nabout 60 togs a day. This Is the\nbest average that thoy can hope to\nkeep up. Ab it would require an\naverage of 100 logs a day to maintain the scale previously paid, tha\nnew proposal really meant cutting\nwages ln half for the yarder and\nskyline crew. The other men were\nto get a day wage at a big reduction.\nStrange as lt may seem, we\nagreed to this big reduction and\nwould, In view of present conditions, even have worked on the\ncontract basis, but we asked to be\nguaranteed the reduced rate of\nwages (the yarder and skyline\nmen), and also 60 cents more per\nday. for the lower paid men, who\ncame under1 the last rate on the\ncontract schedule. . Our request\nwas met with a flat refusal and the\nresult ls we are on Btrike.\nDuring the negotiations Klnman\ntold the committee that If they did\nnot get 80 logs per day to the pole\nhe would have to close down. *\nFellow-workers, we make no\napology for our action and If you\nare fit members of this or any\nother working class organization;\nif you are worthy of the name- of\nmen stay away from Jackson Bay,\nbut if you are human skunks, go\nup there and go to work. Remember, that maybe in time the profit\ngrinding machines of the masters\nwill again need some Blaves and\nthen we will remember who were\nmen and who were skunks,\nSTRIKE COMMITTEE.\nPrince Rnpert District Convention.\nThe first convetlon of this district was.held at Prinoe Rupert,\nOctober 15 and 16. Delegates were\npresent from camps at Cumshewa\nand Atll, Sedgwick Bay, and camps\n1 and 6 headquarters, Buckley Bay.\nDelegate White acted as chairman;\nIt was deemed necessary to take\ndefinite action to combat the con\"\ntrpct and piece work system which\nwas being operated In the district\nParticularly because of Us speedup effect and the tendency to destroy the 8-hour day. A referendum will be Issued on the queatlon\nof expelling members working by\nthese methods.\nThe substitution of the stamp\nsystem instead of receipt, was favored. Also to embody clause 89\nof the O. B. U. constitution Into\nthe rules governing the district,\nand to favor clauses 80, 34, 86, 36\nand 37 of the O. B.

B. U. constitution, the central\nexecutive board of the lumber\nworkeri to submit a referendum to\nthe membership on the question of\nwithdrawing from the O. B.

With confidence based\nupon the knowledge of its having accomplished these things, it once more comes before the\nelectors and in particular, the women electors of the Province, asking that on election day, December 1st next, they cast their vote for all Liberal candidates, who stand pledged to support\nand carry out the broad principles of Liberalism now in force, and which will be continued by\nthe Oliver Government when it once again takes its seat as the Government in power at Victoria..\nThe Oliver Government has given to the Women of British Columbia:\nWoman's franchise.\nThe Mothers' Pension Act, one of the most important\nacts for the beneflt of women ever placed on the statute\nbooks of the Province.\n'A minimum wage law for girls and women, raising\nthe minimum salary per week from the $4.00 paid in\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2ome instances, to $12.75 and over per week.\nEqual rights to the mother with the father in the\nguardianship of minor children.\nAn amendment and improvement to the law respecting the maintenance of deserted wives.\nProvision for the appointment of a superintendent of\nneglected children.\nA new adoption act, providing that a child adopted\nby a family is given the full legal status of \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ehild\nborn to the foster parents.\nA juvenile court to which thc first woman judge in\nBritish Columbia has been appointed.\nA moro humane and considerate treatment of th*\ninmates of the Girls' Industrial School and Boys' Industrial School has been inaugurated\nAn important amendment to the Marriage Aet, plat*\ning the mothor on equality with the father in the matter of consent to tho marriage of a minor child.\nTHIS LIBERAL ADMINISTRATION has revised and improved educational laws and regulations, giving better\nopportunities to children in isolated districts to secure an education.

It has broadened th*\ncourse in manual training, domestic science night schools and agricultural teaching. It has provided schools for\nmentally deficient children, the deaf and dumb. It has established a school for the education of the blind, and a\nprovincial technical school. It has provided for financing the erection of buildings for thc University of British\nColumbia, Its Health Department has given special attention to the work of fighting tuberculosis. The death\nrat* from this disease has dropped from. 1.23 per thousand of population in 1917-18 to .82 in 1919-20.\nN\nThe Oliver Government has more beneficial social and domestic legislation to its credit than\nhas any or all previous governments of British Columbia, and its efforts in this direction will be\ncontinued.\nYOUR VOTE FOR THE LIBERAL CANDI-\nDATES ON DECEMBER 1st WILL ENSURE\nA CONTINUANCE OF THESE GOOD WORKS /AGE SIX\ntwelfth year, no. 47 THE BRITISH COLUMBIA FEDERATIONIST Vancouver, b. c.\nFRIDAY November 19, 1120\nUNION MADB\nThe M.T.

Ths Inflation of the cur-\niWnoy lus Intensified ths distress\nthy forcing the prices of commodl-\nitlcs to the point where the wage received bt a falling labor market is\nInsufficient to provide the bars\nncesiltlss. The raw materials, the\nmachinery, the will and ability to\noperate Industry are present in as\ngreat a measure as ever\u00E2\u0080\u0094and th*\nneed Is greater than ever\u00E2\u0080\u0094but Instead of revolving faster to meet\nthe Increased need the wheels of\nIndustry are slowing down and\nstopping, Increasing tha distress\nby throwing multitudes of unemployed onto a labor market already\ncongested.\nSuch ls the position in Europe,\nand th* blaok shadow of th* approaching panlo Is making Its advent, f*lt ln Canadian Industry,\nThe conditions that now face the\nwealth producers of Europe will\nshortly fac* thos* of this continent.\nIn view of thes* facts, th* utter\nfutility of advocating reforms that\nwill leave untouched and unchallenged th* control and ownership\nof industry by a small olass In ths\ncommunity Is obvious. Buttressed\nAnd entrenched by th* fores* of\nthe state, the owning claas will see\nto It that no reforms will be enacted that need oause it any anxiety.\nThe Issue Is a class issue, an Issue between the class that owns*\nand does not work and th* olass\nthat works and does not own,\nThe present election ls ons of\nthe perlodlal opportunities accord'\ned Us of testing the growth of class\nIntelligence In the mass of Wage\nearners In B. C. Candidates representing th* different sections of\nthe population that derive thetr\nsustenance from the exploitation of\nlabor are In the field, appealing to\ntabor to grant a new lease of power1 and lifo to the system by which\nthey profit and labor suffers. That\nis their real appeal, but, as always,\nIt will be camouflaged and disguised In a flood of flamboyant\noratory and specious argument,\ndesigned to conceal the real Issue\nfrom view.\nThe secret of the power possessed by the ruling class to exploit\nWor lies ln the possession of the\npolitical, repressive fore* of tht\n.state, which lt can hold and retain\nas long as a sufficient number of\n^s' victims are ignorant of the\n]auses of their conditions. That\ntower can only be wrested from the\njUJers by an Intelligent working\n.lass, and the object of entering\nhe fight In this election, as ln all\n,|t.h*>rs, Is to spread the knowledge\n(p/'tho true relations between the\nclasses. With that knowledge as\na .guide the workers will be quail-\n[fled to act tn accord with their\njClaes Interests; Tho workers of\n'fya European countries are forging\ntead as never before. While\nnada Is but \"a village among the\nnations,\" we have a task to per*\nform which devolves upon us as\nour Job. That is to prepare the\nminds of our fellow-workers for\nthe coming change by the dissemination of a knowledge of the prln\nolples of Marxian Socialism. Education Is our task. All wild talk of\n\"bloody revolution,\" \"street fighting,\" \"picking up the gun,\" etc.,\nemanates from the frothy brains of\nenthusiastic Idiots or from treacherous provacateurs. Our weapons\nare thos* which appeal to men's\nInterest, reason and Intelligence,\nnot to their passions.\nOwnershlip and management of\nindustry by the workers, with Us\nconcomitant of production for the\nusse and benefit of the producers\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094or a continuation of the present\nsystem of ownership by the non-\nproducers, with its wars, panics,\nunemployment and destitution for\nthe workers; this ls the choice\nwhich Is once agalln placed before\nus. The Btrength of the support\ngiven to the candidates standing\nSquarely on this class Issue will\nshow us how far we have progressed In olass Intelligence and revolutionary spirit since 1916.\nFor the benefit of those enquirers who wish to know In detail\nwhat kind of a society It is that\nthe Socialists wish to inaugurate,\nIt musts be ponted out that the Socialists are not In the business of\nmalting new Societies.\nAll Institutions, conceptions, mo\nrals and ethics that have a social\nValidity are the product of the manlier In which society produces and\ndistributes the wealth created. Under capitalism the dominant Institutions and codes of thought are\nthose of the dominant (capitalist)\nclass, owners of the means of\nwoalth production. Consequently\nthe Institutions and codes reflect\nthe wishes and material Interests\nof the caiss that dominates. The\nfact that there exists a mighty volume of protest agninst thc capitalist\nsyitem Is, therefore, evidence that\nItM development of the process of\ncapitalist production has evolved\nfo$v intoroBts, a now psychology\n.ami new points of view moro In\nKonplng with thc developed mode\naf, production than the Interests\nfflft moral concepts that are accepted and Imposed by the dominant owning class,\ni T*he revolutionary Socialist movement Is tho scientific interprets\nTlon of the factors that have creat-\nT*iV. tlif movement of protest. Its\nfunction Is to Investigate, analyze\naffd explain the economics of social\n^RVelopment, and Inasmuch ns Its\n\"conclusions, scientifically ^cached,\npoint to the ultimate ownership\nand operation by the producers,\nfor themselves, of the whole socially operated machinery of production nnd distribution, It has become tho class-movement of the\nproducing class. That Is thc sense\nln which the term \"revolutionary\"\nts appllled to the Socialist movement, for the attainment of Its objective entails the capture of the\npolitical power from the present\nowning and ruling class for the\npurpose of Inaugurating a system\nof production under which the producer and the menus of production\nwill no longer be divorced.\nThis will be tho \"social revolution.\"\nCITY UNEMPLOYED\nIS STILL XNOBEASmO\nOlve a little encouragement to\nour advertiser!.\nMachinist* local Attempt, to atof\nStrikebreaking ActMtM et\nIU Memberi\nDiscussing the aubjeot of unemployment kt the regular meeting of\ntha Vancouver (International)\nTradee and Labor Counoll, laat\nevening, Del MoVety Informed the\ndelegatee tbat the queatlon was going to be gone Into at a meeting\nof employers of labor, the city\ncounoll. and representatives of soldier and labor organisations at tha\ncity hall on Friday.

In our\nday, we also know something of\nspecial privileges, and who enjoy\nthem. What has Liberalism to offer but to repeat the traditional\ncries of the 16th, 17th and 18th\ncenturies? The SociaUst says that\nthis problem, which is thrust lh\nthe face of humanity, the ownership and control' of Us means of\nlife, can be solved In only one way\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094by the social ownership of the\nmeans of production\u00E2\u0080\u0094and not tlie\nindividual ownership t_( the Liberal. All the schemes of pscudo Liberals and reformers hnve left the\nworking class to this very day, In\nall the fundamentals that are essential to freedom, practically enslaved.\nDcsplsos-Old Methods\nJ. Harrington, the next speaker,\nopened his address by drawing attention to the fact that It was contrary to all political rules and regulations, according to the way\nthings are being run today, that\nthe previous speaker had failed to\nslam the candidates of the old political parties. Th* methods of the\n.old parties are not in our line. Thd\ncharges they make against one another are nothing. When the show\nstaged before the public is all over,\nthey are as 'thick as bed bugs in a\nlogging camp. The Socialist Party\nattempts, lf not to Impart knowledge, to give an idea where that\nknowledge can be obtained. The\nold story of Hercules and the wagoner, who got stuck in the mud,\nwas an admirable illustration of\nthe methods of humanity, when it\ngot in a mess. The appeal to the\nsuper-human to assist men In overcoming their difficulties has not entirely disappeared, notwithstanding the fact tnat this agency never\nIntervened and never assisted men\nIn their endeavors. They have\ncalled upon this agency for ages,\nahd have left an elaborate religious ritual showing to what extent\nthey would go in order to have assistance for problems which they\nwere unable to overcome. A vory\nremarkable thing ln human character is that wc know perfectly\nwell none* of the deeds recorded of\ngods ever took palce; it all took\nplace in the Imaginations of men,\nand yet they appeared as vital persons and Interfering human agencies. In the old Grecian days, men\nspoke personally with their gods,\nand argued with them, and earlier\nstill Moses tried to get out of being the Labor delegate for the Jews\nln Egypt. The modern Individual\nwho Is inclined to call In this usp-\nernatural being, has a certain scientific basis for this practice. In\nspite of the fact that he may never'\nhave heard of Darwin or Spencer\nor the evolutionary theory, every\navenue of activity in which lte\nfinds himself are connected with\nthat evolutionary theory, because it\nIs Incorporated Into thc life processes of men. If they do nol\nknow of these things at leaat these\nthings have a direct and Immediate bearing on them. Today no\nman talks to'God. Here aud there\nyou will flnd earnest individuals\nwho tell you they speak to God, or\nGod speaks to them. If thoy get it\nvery bud, they nre liable to land In\nsome of the Institution of the government. Man Is addicted to calling, In cases of extrema dllfhuit/,\non a supernatural agency. These\ncases are getting fewer, and so the\nneed for calling has almost entirely disappeared. So much so, that\nthe deliberation? of the Peace\nConference did not need to be sub'\nmltted to any higher functionaries\nthan thoae we know of having sat\naround that table. However, we\nstill have the desire to call\nother forms. When our social\ntroubles become overwhelming, and\nwe can no longer' eliminate or over'\ncome them by the ordinary pro\ncess, we immediately call upon politicians for help. If wc look up\ntheir records, we will flnd their\nefforts have been absolutely nil, so\nfar as benefitting us is concerned\nWe cannot deny they labor and\nsweat, spinning out words and\nphrases ln order that certain\nmeasures might be wiped off or put\non the statute books. This is not\nsimply the conclusions of Socialist\nphilosophers,.but of their own historians, and thp idol of Liberal historians, Buckle, devotes about fifty\npages in his work to show conclusively that all the efforts of parlii\nment have been used to prevent\nmankind from bettering his condition; and that practically ever\nlaw that was of benefit has been\nrepealed and passed again, never\nhy politicians, but through the Influence of an adverse opinion in a\nparticular country which forced Its\nadoption In spite of them. Practically all reforms In the last 120\nyears came not from the Liberals,\nbut from the Conservatives, and\ncame because of a definite econo\nmlc reason. The reforms granted\nthrough the Conservatives were\nfor the means of maintaining that\nparty in their controi of power, by\nplaying off the industrial wage\nslaves'* grievances against the employing class, who were represented by the Liberal Pnrty. It was to\nthe Interest of the lana owning\nclass that the workers in lnduitry\nshould have sufficient money to pay\nfor the products of the land The\nvotes of the wa\u00C2\u00ABc earners were not\nto be neglected. Their interest in\nextending the franchise can readily\nbe perceived.\nThe idea that some one ts going\nto lead the people out of the wilderness, even through politics, ls\na dream. Immediately any gang\nof politicians have been elected to\na parliament men go about their\nduties and they are forgotten, except for an occasional r'emlnder\nwhen some squabble causes an uproar; The whole of the social\nproblem lies In the question of the\nsocial knowledge and the desire of\nmankind as a whole to get away\nfrom placing any trust in a god or\nany other power outside of themselves and to do as Hercules told\nthe wagoner,\u00E2\u0080\u0094to put his shoulder\nto the wheel, dig hie heels In the\nmud and get out of the hole.\nNext Sunday the candidates will\nagain appear at the Empress Theatre.\nThe campaign ls now well under\nway and support and enthusiasm\nIs growing.
