Stock Exchange Fighters Go to ‘ See Youth “War” CAMP CUSTER, Mich., July 20.— Automobile loads of parasites and coupon clippers have. arrived here to- day to watch the amateur soldiers in their war manouvers. It is said that 1200 men from. the R.O.T.C. are here to train under the supervision of army officers. These men come from the col- leges where the children of the work- ers are very scarce. The students will probably serve as good servants of our war lords as they lead the workers into slaughter. These people serve the same purpose as the battleram in the stock yards who lead the sheep up to their place of slaughter and then step aside. In this manner: they allow the mass of workers to fight in the interest of the present owners of American industry. The demonstration is given for the purpose of proving to our useless par- asites that the American army is cap- able of protecting their interests. It is also given’to show qur budding white guard officers, the best way to kill the greatest amount of people, using the least amount of ammunition while doing 80.

But it is not true. “You cannot earn stone palaces by honest work,” as the proverb says. The true story of how they became rich is by grafting and being un- fair to your fellowmen. The fol- lowing story will give a more clear idea bf how they became rich. I knew two men who worked in the same shop by the name of M. and 8. They needed helpers. 8. hired a helper @nd gave him $12 a week while M. hired a fif- teen year old boy and gave him $8 a week. S. by giving him (the helper) $12 weekly still profited 80 you could imagine how M. pro- fited when he gave his helper $4 less weekly. M. oppressed his helper and got the best out of him. By living miserably at first, being one of the creators of child labor and also being unfair to his fellow- men, he became richer and also manager. While being manager, his work consisted of looking how the workers toiled and bossing of course, which ‘the workers made for him. Now being a boss he gave to the workers of his shop $12 weekly and work for 8 hours. He had child workers in his shop because he gave them less wages and exploited them more. He be- came rich only hy grafting, op- pressing his fellowmen, and also making children labor as you see it and not by honest and hard la- bor. Little by little, he “worked up” until now he is one of the capi- talists who owns the factories, runs the government, exploits thousands of workers. He now lives in a palace, while S. is the same worker as he was, for he did not graft and he also is a Communist.
