Those men and women\nare showing the right spirit. They Tare\nstanding for human rights. If they\nwill continue as they have begun they\nare bound to win.\nKvery struggle that labor enters into is forced by some barbarous action\nof their employers. For eight weary\nyears the coal miners of Colorado\nhave been robbed. A man who worked in the coal fields of Colorado did\nnot dare to call his soul his own. He\nbelonged to the coal company. The\noperators of Southern Colorado figured that their temployes weie their\nchattel slaves, to be exploited as they\nsaw fit. The Super' was lord of his\n.camp. If a man disputed it why, he\nhad a guium'aii marshal run the man\nout of camp.\nYes; the state law of Colorado gave\nthe miner the right to have a checkweighman on the tipple. The operators\nsay that a majority of the men could\nhave had one if they wanted one. But,\nhow could'they ever get a majority?\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 if a miner dared to say that his cars\nweighed light he was fired, and generally walked out of camp by the ex-convict who acted as marshal. The companies did not want a checkweighman\non the tipple, .because they wanted to\nsteal enough -coal from the miners to\npay overhead charges.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0They boys could patronize any merchant they wanted to. But, if they\nwanted to work they had to buy from\nthe \"pluck me store\",, run by the company. No coal company is satisfied to\nrob\" their employes in their work\nalone. All companies start company\nstores in order not to let a guilty dollar escape, and in camps where the\nunion is conspicuous by. its absence\nmen are forced to buy in company\nstores at exorbitant prices.\nNot only were the miners of Colorado robbed of their coal, forced to\nbuy, in \"pluck .me stores,\" but they\nwere not paid for dead 'work. The superintendent of a comp'any would even\ntell the voters how to-vote, and God\nhelp them if they did not vote to srait\nthe company. Finally the patience of\nthe men was worn out, so-they struck.\nNow\" what happens when you catch\na thief in the act of stealing? The\nthief denies that he ever stole, or that\nhe tried to steal. The same thing happened in Southern Colorado. As soon\nas the men struck for justice the\noperators denied everything. Their\nemploye's were satisfied; yet, ninety\nper cent walked out. Another thing\nthat thieves do when tliey are caught\nis to try and intimidate their captors.\nJust so the Southern Colorado coal operators sent for guards to intimidate\nthe strikers. And the reign of terror\nstarted.\nA word about Baldwin-Feltz guards.\nIn order for a man to- be' a guard he\nhas to have the soul of Judas Iscariot,\nthe honor of Benedict Arnold, the fi-\nendishness of the devil and the greed\nof a pig. If he is'an ex-convict so\nmuch the better chance has he to get\nthe job of being a guard.\nThese animals know thnt they are\nhired to stir up trouble. That is what\nthey are trying to do. .People can not\ngo along a country road without being\nstopped by an armed guard. The mediator of the federal government was\nstopped from travelling on a .public\nroad. Men were stopped from getting\nmail from United States post offices.\nEverything is being done to intimidate\nandeowe the strikers. Foul lies are\nbeing -circulated in prostituted newspapers in order to change public opinion. But it is no use. The public\nknows the greed of the C, F. & I.\nEverybody knows it is mostly state\nland that they are working, and as\nthey pay a royalty on a tonnage basis\npeople know why the coal companies\nrefuse to give honest weight. If they\ngave honest weight to the miners they\nwould have to pay the state bigger royalties, and that is something the y Jii-m ahd has also\nbeen a Socialist^\"\u00E2\u0084\u00A2 *> *.\nIn a letter accompanying his report,\nComrade Kirkpatrick says:\n\"It is miy personal opinion that the\ngreatest value of our administration\nhere is the part that we -played in the\nlabor strikes. It is all well and good\nto say that the duty0of the Mayor is\nto remain neutral in times of industrial warfare. ' iMy experience is that\nneutrality is impossible. Thero are\n-certain things tliaW_the finuiiloyers,\nwant.done and that the strikers don't\nwant done, and the \"Mayor is forced to\ntake sides. There is no middle ground.\nYou must get on one side of the fence.\nWe Socialists here have chosen to\nstay. on our own side, and \"be with\nworkers.\n\"It' is my personal opinion that\nabout nine-tenths of the strikes in the\ncities could (be won if the workers had\ncontrol of the police authorities. And\nthe police do not have to actually take\nany part in the fight, just simply allow a 'fair fight.' Labor strikes usually are not pink tea affairs, and the\npolice need only to \"preserve order as\nfar as possible and protect the non-\ncombatants, or the 'public,' as It is\nusually stated.\n\"If the working,people could not\nthink of any higher or bettor reason\nfor the election of Socialists to nuuil-\ncljinl office than the prevention of tho\nuso of the (policemen's club on tliolr\nbonds in tlmo of strikes, thon that ono\nreason would be sufficient, and it\nwould amply repay them for all tho\ntlmo, money and sacrifices that they\nmay mako to got control of the municipalities,\"\n'To illustrate wh-nt this Socialist.administration did in onsoB of strikes,\nwe el to the following occurrences with\n(icliml results:\nLitsl. -May, whon about throo hundred omployds of tho Commonwealth\nSteel Foundry Htvuck for an Incroaso\nof wagos and shorter Iioui-h, tho foundry superintendent and general mnn-\niigor mndo a hurried visit to tho Mayor's office, Thoy nskod for \"pollco\nprotection,\" which, In tho understanding of tho employers, usually moans,\nnot only -protection of thoir Uvob and\nproporty, which aro seldom in danger,\nhut that thoy want to bo \".protected\"\nnknlnst tho strikers doing picket duty\nand assembling nt tho mill or factory\ngntoB. iTho Socialist Mayor n-ssurod\ntho foundry officials thut pollco would\nho furnished to fully protoct proporty,\nand, IT poBBlhlo, persons from \"bodily\nInjury, nnd ho further iiBBiirod thorn\nthat tho pollco would protect tho strikers In thoir right, to picket and peacefully iiBnomblo nt. any plnco In the city.\nNo pollcomon'B clulm woro usod\nngnliiBt tlio HtrlkorB, thoy did uot hjow-\nbunt or Inllmidnto thorn, nor woro tho\npollco uhoiI to URslHt nnd encourage\nHtrlluibroiikoiu Tho foundry officials\nearly say the new and unusual situation they were in, and in just four\ndays of a complete tie-up of the plant,\nthe strikers were granted an increase\nof wages amounting to 2% cents ail\nhour, shorter hours of labor, and the\nunion was recognized and all of the\nstrikers .re-employed.\nA similar proceeding, with similar\nresults, occurred a short time later,\nwhen the niolder helpers of the American Steel Foundries went * out on\nstrike and secured an increase in wages of 2% cents an hour.\nFollowing close on this, there was a\nstrike for higher wages of about two\nhundred of tho day laborers at the big\ntin mill plant. They gathered aboul\nthe mill .gates in large numbers, lind\none of the mill -foremen one day sent\nin a ' call to police headquarters for\npolice to put down a \"riot.\" The po-\nJipp-.rPRpniuled,.ani\u00C2\u00B1JouncLaJarge_nanv\nto get away with, is usually Infinitely\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0more shocked when he finds even an\nold-tfashioned red cent is being stolen\nfrom hi.m than -he is when he discovers\nhis morals are undermined. He is\nconfident of his ability to protect his\nmorals and those of his family. He\nis even willing to run the risk of their\nbeing corrupted. B-ut he is strenuous\nin his insistence 'that his. money be\nprotected by the government. > .\nIn spite of all, and for the first time\nin our -municipal campaign experience,\non the best platform we ever put\nforth, one that far transcends any of\nthe alleged revolutionary programs\nthat have previously been put forward\nby any party; we have Increased our\nvote. .We -go far beyond what Charles\nEdward Russell received as candidate\nfor.,Governor last year, and^we did it\nin more unfavorable conditions.- '\n. It is manifest, therefore; that, what\nwe need to do is to go on and do more\nwork. Slowly 'but irresistibly the Socialists are forging ahead.\nNothing can stop \"them naw, for they\nsee the way to power, \"---and they are\nevolving the means whereby they can\nachieve that power.\u00E2\u0080\u0094New York Call.\npublicly.^admltt^V'eyenV'.1 by 'journals},\n.which, through* their: connections- and,\ncirculation,;.haxe'be'en;used_as tools'\nto crush'the cause, of S)She. needy-and\nuphold the'claims of those who neither\ntoil nor. spin, but\alongc.with this ad-*\nmission there is the objectionable dictation or suggestion of the' kind of\nunion that will meet with the masters'\napproval.'- \"Surely in .vain the, Aet.is\nspread in the sight of any bird.\" -,,\nIn a -general, way working men are,\n'painfully -conscious of their educational limits, -but if in addition to the lack\nof opportunity the school masters and\nbooks have failed, tradition and experience haye'made their, impress..

The press refused\nto\" print sworn testimony of this\nplot on tihe part of capital to discredit labor.\nDuring a strike1 of elevator men\nin tlie large stroes of this same\ncity, the. business agent of the elevator starters' union was beaten\nto death in an alley behind a certain store by a \"strong arm\" man\nemployed by the firm. This story,\nalthough it was supported by\nthree- affidavits and given by lawyers of standing to three newspaper men, was never published-.\n'In another strike when the men\nheld their meetings on a vacant\nlot that had recently been enclosed by a new bill board the press\ndistorted the truth by describing\nthe bill board as a \"stockade\" behind which to defy authority.\n\"The Telegraph Press' during\nthe long, unsuccessful strike of\nthe Kalam'azoo corset workers\ndamned the movement in a variety of insidious ways.\nWorst of, all ths paper would\nnot waken the public to the social\nservice of these ,'girls who were\nfighting the- \"great black plague\nagainst overwhelming odds, handicapped/as', they were -by .blanket\ninjunctions that'forbade tbem lo\ndo pretty much everything but\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 This'*'silence of the press does\nnot contrast well with tlie courage\nof \"Anna Beattie, a little Sunday\nSchool tea gli er, who Svas on strike.\nIn \"the teeth of a second injunction, she said, \"I'ye no.more 'hesitancy in going on the picket.line\nand-warning those girls against\nthe black plague than I'd have of\nignoring a 'Keep' Off sign in a\npark where I saw. a. girl drowning.\"\nTake the attitude of the press\nduring the five months' starvation staid made by 25,000 striking\nsilk workers in Paterson, New Jersey. Most of'-the dailies seemed\nto desire only to discredit the\nstrike.

Many\nsuch papers die from too meagre\n\"ad\" columns, still they are the\nforerunners of a press that must\nbe just as public us parks and\nplaygrounds.\n'Our dailies whose labor news 1\nhanT been characterizing have\nburning editorials about their\nzealous tireless watch over thc interests of the people. \u00C2\u00B0 They all\ntell about the wickedness of many\nin high places and of vigorous effort to elevate our politics and\npublic morals.\nWhy, then, do tlie dailies, Judas-like, betray the faith of the\npeople, born of the Horace Greeley\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2tradition that the function of the\npress is the dissemination of truth\nabout current affairs?\"\nEdward !Alsworth%Ross has given us our best analysis of the apos- J\ntasy of the daily papers, which he\nshows' is caused by economic developments. \" ,\nMr. Ross says that the importance to the daily press of advertising may be gauged by tlie fact\nthat Whereas'-thirty years ago it\npaid 50 per cent of the expense of\nrunning a newspaper business, today it pays 60 to 90 per cent of\nthe cost. This explains how-the-\ndaily paper lias been able to swell\nin bulk from S to 16 pages, how\nthe price of papers could be dropped from 3 cents to 1 cent.\nAlso this shows why big advertisers enjoy such immunity from\n-attack liy (he press and such a\npower of censorship on the news.\nThe fact, too, that a press plant\nis a paying property, something\ndetachable to be1 bought and sold,\ninevitably subordinates it to other\ninterests. Mr. Ross tells howson\nthe desk of every editor and subeditor of a paper run by a capitalist promoter Avho eventually fell\nunder prison sentence were found\na list of sixteen corporations to be\nrespected. They were spoken of\nin the office as \"the sacred cows.''\nTo the apostasy of fhe-press\nshould be added the strangle-hold\nof the0\"A. P.,\" the \"Associated\nPress,\" and< Mr. Hearst's news\nservice on which thousands of\ndailies depend for\"their general\nnews.\nThe fierce grip of these octopi\nis being illustrated by the struggle of Otto C. Lightner to run the\nonly 1 cent paper in Cincinnati.\nJohn R. McLean has for years eon-\ntrolled the news service of that\ncity and compelled the citizens to\npajr 5 cents for \"The Cincinnati\nEnquirer.\"\nOn the appearance of the clean,\ndignified \"Cincinnati American\"\nfor 1 cent, he called the gods\" to\nwitness, financial gods you understand. Bing! ite news service was\ncut. The old editor, had the new\none by the throat. But the townspeople, Avere awaker Even^wnen;\nwithout a line of wire service, the\npaper was forced from 10 to 4\npages, thc circulation remained\nIthe\u00E2\u0080\u0094same. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 t\u00E2\u0080\u0094.\nNo sooner had the. cars begun\nrunning than news packages placed \"on care to be taken to various\npoints in the suburbs of tbe city\nwere carried away. Their newsboys 'have been beaten and obstructed, tlieir carriers bought up\nor scared off their routes; but the\ncomfortable as well as the poor\ncontinue to demand \"The Cincinnati American.\" It is a good\nomen. Eventually the sleeping\nmiddle class in other cities may\ncome, to see the apostasy of our\npresent press as .clearly as do\nthose increasing millions whose\ngrim struggle with life is never\ntold.

Judicial Oligarchy,\" outlined this steal of the legislative\nfunctions by our judges.\nFirst, they usurped the power to\ndeclare some statutes invalid because unconstitutional.\nKine! Very useful to the interests !\nAnd wc have slept through it!\nThen, illustrating the story of\nthe camel about \"jus' lemme get\nmy nose in, jus' lemme get. my\nhead in,\" till he took possession of\nthe tent, the judges went still fur-,\nther and declared \"other statutes\ninvalid merely because they disapproved the policy of such legislation.\"\nFine! Still more useful to the\ninterests!\nAnd we have slept throught it!\n..Our judges took that old clause\nof the \"Fourteenth Amendment\"\nabout not depriving any person of\nlife, liberty or property without\ndue process of law, and worked it\nhard. This statute, meant to protect our most helpless class of\nworkers, the negroes, was stretched to cover .every sort of trust and\ncorporation, every sort of contact\nand practice.\nSo interpreted, the judiciary\nhave used this amendment to mow\ndown crop after crop of labor laws\nenacted by the 'people in different\nstates to compensate workmen for\ntheir injuries, to protect little\nchildren from exploitation, to\nshorten the horn's of labor, to provide sanitary shops, and to recognize the right of workmen to bargain collectively and to strike,effectively, i.e.. to picket.\nMeanwhile, the public, though\nit has heard the wails of small business men as they wore swallowed\nby the court protected trusts, does\nnot realize that these -workers' in\nindustry must organize to save\niary with1 capital, and the, blind\nlengths they will go to protect' it.\n. During the woolen strike in\nLawrence and the silk strike of\n25,000 workers in Paterson, anarchy reigned under the f orin' \u00E2\u0080\u009Eof\nlaw. For the inidividual striker,\nrecords Mr. R. W. Child, justice\nran pretty much .like, this:\n.

The workmen were subjected to a Cossacn\norgy at\u00C2\u00B0 the railway station. In\n1 he face of all constitutional rights\nthe judge thundered his defiance:\n\"If these people wish to send their\nchildren out of Lawrence, let them\ncome here, let them prepare lists\nand obtain consent.\" Russia indeed! ' '.\nFor sheer numbers arrested Paterson with its 1,000 arrests and\n500 convictions outranks Lawrence. Employers had all the forces of law and order turned on labor. They got Patrick Quinlan, a\nSocialist speaker, condemned on\ntrumped-up police evidence for\n\"inciting to assault\" and sentenced hint for from two to seven years\nof hard labor. 'Alexander Scott,\nthe editor of a Socialist paper,\ntliey got sentenced to from 1 to 15\nyears of liard labor for \"hostility\nand opposition to the government\" because he' criticized the\nbrutality of the police. This is\nmost dangerous because thc decision, unless reversed in the court\nof appeals, will be used as a precedent to curb the right of free\nspeech.\nWe are waking up to the needless waste of life in, business;\nmany States have new laws to protect labor; but this article shows\nhow judges construe them.\ning,'A even ;fostracism , from'\"-the\nHouse Of ;Go.d,\has been the usual\nreaction\u00C2\u00A3pi ourv clergy toward\nstrikers,';..

He stated\nto some of the men, after the accident\noccurred,\" that he was going for some\noil\" for his lamp from a bottle, which\nhe kept close to his canister, when\nthe accident occurred., This appears\nto have been so, as his empty lamp attached to his cap \yas found after the\nexplosion lying near the' canister;\nthere was no reason for- him to toe getting gunpowder at the time as he had\nno shot hole ready, and there were\nplenty of loose coals in his working\nplace, He contravened the Explosives\nOrder, Part 1 (1) (b) as he failed to\nkeep the explosives in a secure canister. This kind of accident is far too\nfrequent, 'Mr. Walker adds; it1 may\nbe that constant use of explosives\nmakes the workmen take less care\nthan is necessary to prevent them, but\nhe should have thought that a man's\ncommon sense would make him realize\nthe foolishness of having a naked light\nanywhere near explosives.

What will\ntheir lot be then? Please answer\nthrough Cotton's.\n-To understand the future .position of\nwoman we must understand her present -position-and her past position, in\nthe light of economic determinism. For\n'woman's position is not what it was,\nnor is it what it will be.\nIn the past woman was the plaything\nor drudge of man. Man ruled supreme.\nIn the anarchy in Europe which followed the inroads of the Gothsil Vandals and Huns, in the rise of the\nFrankish 'and Germanic tribes from'\nwandering nomads to settled tillers,\nforce was the arbiter of destinies. -The\nstrong tribe with powerful swords robbed and pillaged the other tribes'. In\nsuch a condition woman was put in the\nbackground.\" She*became the prey and\n'th\"e'sp0\"rL\"\"or1;ae~,pciiWerfuii\u00E2\u0080\u0094TheHTword\"\"\ngave wealth, and woman did'not wield\nthe sword. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nThen the tribes became settled and\npillage gave place to tillage. The warlike leaders .became dukes and nobles\nand owners of estates, counties, .kingdoms. 'The tillers of the soil became\nthe serfs of the masters, and the women were the drudges on the estates.\nThe men had no vote, no political power, and the women were Btill further\ndegraded by being considered the inferior of man. Ideas die hard. The\nmomentum of a system carries the\nIdeas of that system on .when the or-\noriginal impulse is dead. The weaker\nstrength of the woman could not-very-\nwell''be exploited in war. Therefore\neconomic determinism shoved her to\none side in a warlike age. But when\nwnr gave place to feudal security, the\nwoman, while exploited and robbed\nalong with tho serf, was still considered inferior. Such ideas still hold sway\nln the heads of reactionary, archaic\n'brains like those of Laurier and Borden and Roblin,\nFeudalism has given place to capitalism, and the status of woman has\nchanged.

Every doctor\nwho aspires to drive' a really comfortable two-seater knows that you have\nto put up with an awful lot of cheek\nfrom patients.

It\nwas one of a series that are 'being held\nevery Sunday at that hall.\n'Richardson was introduced by J.\nKeir Hardie, Jr., who presided. Hardie\nmade a short opening address after\nseveral musical selections had been\ngiven by Miss A. Gollomb. He de.\nclared he did not quite understand the\nsituation as regards the Socialists in\nBritain. The Labor'party, ho asserted,\nis the party of the workers.\n\"In it,\" he said, \" are all the Independent Labor party men, the Fabian\nSociety members and all the great\ntrade unions of the country. Ninety-\nfive per cent of the union leaders In\nBritain are Socialists and carry Socialist cards, so it \u00E2\u0096\u00A0win be realized that\nthis (movement is well fixed in the old\ncountry.\n\"The Independent Labor'party is\nthe biggest and most influential party\nIn Britain. The British Socialist party\nis, I think, about the same kind of organization as is the Socialist Labor\nparty here. It must 'be rememoerea\nthat the absence of the word 'Socialism', iu the name of the Independent\nLabor .party does not mean that it is\nnot a Socialist party.\"\nIn closing Hardie declared he would'\nleave the details of the British Labor\nparty to the speaker following. He\nthen presented Richardson, who was\ngreeted enthusiastically. .\nThe oldest Socialist organization' In\nGreat Britain is tlie Fabian Society,\nhe told the audience. From the educational point of view it has rendered\ngreat and signal service to the development of Social sentiment in the\ncountry, declared the speaker.\n\"The Social Democratic party,\" he\nsaid, \"has, although it is part o'f the\nSocialist party of the country, refused\nto affiliate with the unions or to even\nsubscribe to political action. The British Socialist, party has continued to\npursue what It calls its revolutionary\npolicy and .to preach the class struggle,\n\"I wish to state .that the -policies of\nthe Independent \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Laibor party have\nbeen vindicated by results.\n' \"I have read a saying, ''By their\nfruits ye shall know them,' and this,\nit, seems to me, can be applied to Sc\ncialism,\n\"The Indenendenll-La'bor-^-patty\u00E2\u0080\u0094is.\navowedly a Socialist organization. I\nwant to make this -clear, for there are\na number of people that confuse the\nBritisli Labor party witb the Independent Labor party. And there are many\nwho question the Socialist principles\nof both.\" -\u00E2\u0080\u00A2/'*.\nThe fundamental object of the Independent Labor party in Britain, said\nRichardson,' is to achieve Socialism.\nAt the time of the organization of tho\nparty, a resolution was passed making the 'final o-bject of the party the\ncollective ownership of the menns of\nproduction, distribution and exchange,\nhe asserted.\n\"Its immedlato'-end ls to further the\ncause of labor by means of laws. The\nIndependent Labor party has a membership of 70,000, all duos paying, It\nhas eight members in tho House of\nCommons. -\n\"Wo havo foKind that wc get the\nfewest votes whore the workers aro\nstarved and most brutally (rented.
