In that respect the Socialist recognize.that the\ncourts have done their duty to the elass that pays thera to protect its\ninterests i\nWhat is here particularly referred to is the insulting language\nchosen by Justices Howay and Morrison in branding the muiert and\nthe witnesses for the defence as liars and perjurer*, the latter ***********\nout the women witnesses, the mothers, wives and daughters of the\nminers themselves, as targets for these epithets.\nTo have to face the combined assault of the coal owners aad their\npolitical and judicial hirelings, backed up by their militia and police;\nto see their fellows assaulted and their women grossly insulted by the\nhired scum of the mine owners and the government, with redrew in\nthe courts denied them, and reprisals on their part savagely pnnished,\nare the penalties that the revolting slaves of capital have to expect.\nTo have to stand quietly in the prisoners' dock in a crowded courtroom, and listen to these insults fiung in the faces of their daughters,\n.sisters and life-partners, and to see the reporters of thc capitalist\npress present dutifully recording them for the purpose of spreading\nthem broadcast over the continent, is surely the last possible test thst\nvindictiveness can devise.\nWho is to blame for this exhibition? lf these miners were\npossessed of the same standard of intelligence as is manifested by the\ngreat majority of the working class in B. C. it could be truthiully said\nthat they themselves were to blame. The present government, which\nappoints these same judges, wss elected to office and given its power\nby thc definite action of the majority of the working elass voters of\nthe province, expressed at the ballot box. These same miners (or the\ngreat majority of them) have as definitely and consistently r. fused to\nprostitute their political power to thc uses of their masters. The degree of class-consciousness to whieh they have attained may not be\ngreat\u00E2\u0080\u0094taking.them in the mass. Their protest and revolt against their\nslavery has been consistently recorded at every opportunity that presented itself. Blacklisting, bribery and intimidation have not made\nthem swerve, nor is it to be expected that they will flinch from their\nrevolutionary attitude in the face of the tests to which they sre now\nsubjected.\nln the persons 0/ these men aud women of Vaucouver Island are\nthe capitalist-minded slaves of B. (.'. making vicarious atonement for\nthe mistakes they have themselves committed. They have put upon\nother shoulders thc punishment that should be borne by their own.\nOnly by their consent to the rule of capital are such indignities s\u00C2\u00BB sre\nbeing heaped upon the heads of the miners made possible. The blows\ndirected at the political stronghold of the masters in Victoria and Ottawa by the miners have been warded off by the action of the members of their own class, and every attempt directed towards the severing of their chains has but resulted in encouragement being given to\nthe ruling class to impose fresh burdens.\nLet the workers generally take the lesson to heait. The revolutionists amongst them will see the vital necessity of spreading the\nknowledge of the principles of scientific Socialism until the whole\nmass of the Canadian proletariat is permeated with it. Then snd not\n.until then, will the rulers fear the workers, for their power'to bully\nand oppress will have disappeared with the ignorance of their dupes.\nFrom the point of view of the good of the movement every Socialist is pleased to see thc power of the State used so nakedly *-\u00C2\u00BB\"-\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nruthlessly. It will drive home, as no other method could, the truth\nof their propaganda that the power by which the rulers hold the\nworkers in subjection is political power, and that the only way to\nfreedom lies through depriving them of it\u00E2\u0080\u0094by such meana aa the\ntimes shall dictate,\nDispensers of class justice such as these referred to are doing a\nuseful and necessary work.

The agitation\nfor the release of the miners will still obtain the support of the Socialists, and their support will be rendered more effective by virtue\nof the fact that they are not harnessed to unequal yokefellows.\nCONTEMPT OF COURT\nConsiderable prominence has been given by the press to the reference by Justice Morrison to an address delivered by the Rev. Dr.\nFraser of Vancouver, which wss a review of the Vsneouver\nIsland situation fayoAble to the miners.\nWhen a esse is being tried before an unbiased court it is manifestly improper for an outsider to give utterance to any views calculated to influence the decision or verdict, either for or against either\nside to the dispute. Such action, if tolerated, would soon result in\ncases such ss those of the miners' being decided by public opinion,\nregardless of the evidence. If such a condition were allowed to prevail, alibis would be disregarded, witnesses against the side most favored branded as liars and perjurers, and the efforts of an immaculate judiciary in dealing out even-handed justice rendered of no\neffect.\nThe reproof administered to* Dr. Fraser, and so heartily endorsed by the daily press, will doubtless be taken to heart by all and\nsundry, and expressions of opinion or criticism of the merits of the\nesses before the court, and the actions of the court itself, reserved\nuntil the prisoners have been sentenced-\u00E2\u0080\u0094or acquitted.\nPOLITICAL ACTION\nof property, they come\ninto contact\n^h tho political Bt.t* W-^r-jJ\n,hen oaafj un \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*\"\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 -u,t * \"-*_.*\n._ ,.n tin' ex...\ntho burbariaut used\nThe High \"Cost\" of Living\n(By Wilfrad Oribbl*.)\ncease to\nthe atate-\nAa a matter of fact tbe COST of living in lower Bt tne preaent time than\naver it ha* been.

A few\u00E2\u0080\u0094the idle rich\u00E2\u0080\u0094live on\nwhat they do not produce\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is the\npart we do not get.\nYes, the real coat of living it very\nlow today.\n\"But how it it we kave to pay such\nbig pricesf\" Ah! there's the rub.\nLet me franVly tell the reader that\nI cannot spoonfeed him, or her, on this\nmatter. Tou have to do a little study\nyourselves. Thia article it only by\nway of a little assistance in your own\nstudy. The same with the addresses I\nam delivering in Ottawa.\nThere are the laws of tbe market to\nbe understood, among which U the law\nof supply and demand.

Tkey hnve to pay higher prices.\nLet it be dearly understood right here,\nthat wben I speak of \"workert,\"' 1\nmake no narrow interpretation, but\nmean every uaeful Individual in Society.\nThe undeniable fact is that tke position of most of u\u00C2\u00AB is becoming steadily\nworse, thnt while greater wealth than\never it being produced and must be\ngoing somewhere,' it is not coming, in\nour direction.\nI claim to know the remedy and to\nbe able to prove I knpw it, ns I have\nsaid before, but have'no hope ot application in the near future.\nAs far as that near future I* concerned the only message I hav* is, to\nput lt somewhat slsngily, \"(Sheet up,\nPoUtlcal action is any \u00C2\u00AB**on\ntaken by a class to ovnrtbxow the\npower of another class, or to prevent rack ovwtkrow.

C.) and down to the\nlegislation of Cleisthenes (501) B. C.)\nit was engaged upon the solution of a\ngroat problem. That wus no lets than\na fundamental change in the plan of\ngovernment, involving a great modifl\ncation of institutions. The people were\nseeking to trantfer themselvce iron-\ngentile society, in whieh they had lived\nfrom time immemorial, into a political\nsociety based upon territory and property, which had become essential to\nfurther progress in civiliiation. The\nterm \"political\" Society came into\nexistence to indicate the difference between the gentile, or tribal, form, and\nwhat it now known as civilization.\nHuman society lived in a state of\nTribal Communism for thousands of\nyears, and the establishment of political society wat a tlow protest. IX took\ncenturies to accomplish. We can tee,\nthat as the tribes developed their economic demandt became greater, calling\nfor an expansion of territory, but not\nuntil one tribe came into conflict with\nanother wa* there any necessity for\nboundary line*. It was with the fixing\nof boundary Unes that tke idea of\nproperty came into existence. That\nportion of society whieh had the power\nto say\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Thit is my property \"\u00E2\u0080\u0094had\nto demonstrate to tbe others their right\nto'own it. They did demonstrate their\nright\u00E2\u0080\u0094witk tn* club.\nBefore the inception of the institution of property, the economic inter\nest* of the tribal societies did not eon-\nflict, but when in their tearch for a\nliving they began to cover more territory, the more powerful tribes would\nnaturally lay down a boundary line,\nand would have to use force to compel\nthe others to observe it. Thit U where\npolitical society begins\u00E2\u0080\u0094when man, by\nbrute force, compels his fellow to\nrecognize hit right to own something to\nthe exclosion of all others.

However, in case some member of tke working class bus taken the\nstatement seriously, we will analyse it\nPresuming tbat it was necessary to\nobtain some slave to taste tbeir coffee,\n(and it would not be difficult at tbe\npreaent time to obtain slaves to taste\nevery particle of food) or that there\nwas a danger of being killed should\nthey go bunting. What problem would\nhave been solved! And bow many miners woald kave been set free* Tbe\nsame answer applies to both. None!\n. If th* executive of every State in\nthe world wa* swept out of existence\ntonight, the snme condition would pre-\nvsil tomorrow as prevn.lt today. There\nwould still be a master class and s slave\nclass, It is not that I on. concerned\nas to whether the State executive live*\nor dies, but I am concerned that the\nworking class skould not waste its\nenergy in futile action, whlck in the\nlast analysis is only destructive to the\nworking elsss itself.\nThe deposing ot tke figurehead of it\nred th*\nseeking to obtain control. Throughout\nhittary we flnd that tke deposing or re\nmoving of the executive of any previous ruling class wo* always tha last\nact in the struggle, the class doing to\nhaving previously obtained political\npower.\nTbe execution of Louis of France and\nhis contort did not mark tke beginning\nof tke struggle between th* bourgeoisie\nand the aristocrat* of Prance, but tke\nend of it.\nTke deposition of James 11 of England marked tke close of the struggle\nfor political power between th* rising\ncapitaliat clan and tbe lauded aristocracy, not the commencement.\nBo it is with the struggle between\nua intelligent working class and the\nmaster class Thc struggle ls at present\nan Intellectual one, a battle of ideas,\ntke displacing of tke individual idea by\nthe sociaj idea. An educated working\nclass possesses and knows how to ut.\npolitical power, and the removal of the\nexecutive of th. master class will then\nmark the beginning of tke end, and not,\nas now would be tbe esse, an abortive\nmonsure.\nJ.

Tke a*Ms*ers'\ncourt of revision was keld laat week,\nand there some very crooked work was\nexposed. The Coal Co. has held several\nlots.in the eity limits for a number of\nyears. A few months ago a party unaffected by tho strike offered to buy\none of these lota, but was refused. However st tke court of revision we discovered that tbe company bad suddenly\ndecided to sell. About 80 declaration*\nwere prodneed with the names of strikebreakers and their wives, etc., attached\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 as being tke lost assigneea of certain\n{\u00E2\u0096\u00A0property, tkat means tkat tkey bold\nan agreement of sale. Tke names are\nmostly of people recently imported. One\ndeclaration read tkus: \"I am one of\n23 holding certain property in tke eity\nof Cumberland,\" and then followed\nthe p 'ber 22 name.. The property which\nthey claim to hold is four vacant lots\nassessed at \u00E2\u0099\u00A62,300. Another ia a caw\nof nine people claiming a vote eaeb on\ntwo lots. The names indicate that it is\nno family speculation.

The fall\nelections were soon to occur, and\nErnest was nominated by the Socialist\nparty to run for Congress. His chance\nfor election was most favorable. Thc\nstreet-car strike in San Francisco hod\nbeen broken. And following upon it\nthe teamsters' strike had been broken.\nThese two defeats had been very disastrous to organized labor. The whole\nWater Front Federation, along with\nitt allies in the structural trade., had\nbacked up tbe teamsters, and all had\nsmashed down ingluriously. It had\nbeen a bloody strike. The police kad\nbroken countless heads with their riot\nclubs; and tbe death list had been augmented by the turning loose of a machine-gun on the strikers from the\nbarns of the Marsden Special Delivery\nCompany.\nIn consequence, tke men were sullen\nand vindictive. Tbey wanted blood,\nand revenge. Beaten on their chosen\nfield, they were ripe to teek revenge by\nmeans of political action. They still\nmaintained their labor organisation,\nand thit gave them strength in the\npolitical struggle that was on. Ernest's\nchance for election grew stronger and\nstronger. Day by day unions and more\nunions voted their support to the Socialist*, until even Ernest laughed when\nthe Undertakers' Assistants and the\nChicken Pickers fell into line. Labor\nbecame mulish. While it packed the\nSocialist meetings witk mad enthusiasm\nit was impervious to the wiles of the\nold-party politicians. The old-party\norators were usually greeted with\nempty halls, though occasionally they\nencountered full halls where they a ere\nso roughly handled that more than once\nit was necessary to call oat the police\n.reserves.\nHistory wss making fast. The sir\nwas vibrant with things happening and\nimpending. Thc country was oa the\nverge of hard times, caused by a series\nof prosperous years wherein the difficulty of disposing abroad of the uneon-\nturned surplus had become increasingly\ndifficult. Industries were working short\ntime; many great factories were standing idle against the time when the surplus should be gone; and wages were\nbeing ent right and left.\nAlso, the great machinist strike had\nbeen brokea. Two hundred thousand\nmachinists, along with their five hundred thousand allies in the metal-working trades, had been defeated in ss\nbloody a strike as had ever marred the\nUnited States. Mtehed battles had been\nfought with the small armies of armed\nstrike-breaker* pot in the Held by the\nemployers' atsoeiatioas; the Black Hundred, appearing in scores of wide-Mat\ntei-i-d places, had destroyed property;\nend, in consequent*, s hundred thousand regular soldiers of the United\nStstei had boon called out to put a\nfrightful end to tb* whole xt****. A\nnumber of the labor leaders hatl b**n\nexecuted; many others had been sentenced to prison, while thousands of the\nr*nh aad file of tke strikers had keen\nherded into butt-pen* and abominably\ntreated by tk* Midler* ^*\neverywhere. And in this use of terror,\nthe regular army was iscreaaad nn nd-\nditionol hundred taouond by th* government.\nNever hsd labor received such an all-\naround beating.

Since the organised\nconstitute almost exactly three-tenths\nof the total number of workers registered by the state insurance bureau,\nand since unemployment is unlikely to\nbe proportionately much leas amongst\nthe unorganised, the total number of\nunemployed in Berlin at the present\ntime must be about 83,000.\nOn ita part, the municipal statistics\nofflce of the City of Berlin shows that\nthe number of unemployed in September wm 8,000 mor* than last year, more\nthan double la eomearison with 1909,\na-TalKB AOATNgT OHOBOH\nMove-met of SsrusBina ia Q*naaay Is\nOsasing Serious Concern.\nBerlin, Dec. 13.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The growth of the\nagitation for a \"universal strike\"\nagainst th* church is causing serious\nconcern among Oerman religions dig\nnitarles.\nThe immediate aim of the move-\nmeat i* to encourage secessions, whieh\nhave already reached very considerable\nproportions from the established state\nchurch.
