Stripes are not to blame for the be- trayal of the people by the oppres- sions of the race, and the red flag of Socialism, our International em~ blem, is not to be held responsible for the fetichiats who, if they lived in Dahomey would each have a clay dummy to pray to (if the work was @asy and it paid). SOCIALIST PARTY AND WOMEN. Theodore Roosevelt has indorsed Woman's Suffrage, after the Social- fats haye advocated the principle for sixty-five years, but the Socialist riy recognizes Equal Suffrage Finperative’ because the econom freedom and equal right of women to labor for bread demands it. The Socialist party has a woman's na- tional committee which has charge of ai! propaganda and organization work for women, the funds being furnished by the natlo: party, Which places women equally with men in the political and economic world, “ARTICLE UL" SOCIALIST NA- TIONAL CONSTITUTION, “WOMEN'S NATIONAL COMMIT- TEE.” “Sec. 1. ‘The woman's national committee shall have general char of propaganda and organization work among women. All plans of said committee concurred in by the executive committee shail be carried Gut at the expense of the national office. “Bec. 2. The general correspondent of the woman's national committee shall be attached to the national office. “Sec. 3. The woman's national committee shall meet in regular ses- sion once in h year, in conj tion with the may be called at oncurrent consent committee and the national committee.” This constitution shows which” political party is faithful to the women of our pation. “THE REFERENDUM.” ‘The Socialist party constitution also provides for the referendum as follows: “See, 1. Motions to amend any part of this constitution, as well as ‘any other motions or resolutions to be voted upon by the entire mem- bership of the party, shall be submit- ted by the executive secretary to the referendum vote of the party mem- bership, upon the request of at least three states representing at least 6 per cent. of the entire membership of the party, on the basis of dues paid in the preceding year, or five states regardless of membership. The term ‘state’ as herein used, shall be construed to mean the membership of a state organization, the state committee or @ duly authorized state executive committee. Sec, 2, Such referendum may be {nitiated by one state, and when so initiated shall remain open for ninety days from the date of its first publication, and unless it shall re- ceive the requisite number of sec- onds within such period it shall be abandoned. The vote on every such. referendu from the date of it» “Sec. 3. Referendu amend the provisions of this consti- tution may be Instituted only one year after the adoption of such pro- visions,” ‘This makes its possible and con- venient for any member to get a hearing on party principles and tac- fies, ft the party requires change to meet conditions, it sixty days s easily pro- vided for. I have now finished writing on the Boclalist party constitution.

Go to This Meeting and Hear the Real Issue Disoussed— “Capitalism Socialism’ ALL SEATS FREE STAR WANT ADS BRING RESULTS OLDER’S “ANARCHY GUN” KICKS BACK Editor of Goldmanesque Daily Is Roasted to a Crisp by W. J. Burns’ Manager Sept. 26, 1912, Call. In an open letter to Fremont Older, managing editor of the Bulletin, W. A. Mundell, general manager of the Pacific coast division of Burns’ National Detective Agency, replied yesterday to an editorial directed at William J, Burns that appeared in the Bulletin of September 2 The editorial in question criticised Burns for having taken part in the investigation of the alleged dynamite “plant” said to have been arranged by Willlam M. Wood, head of the woolen trust, In connection with the textile strike at Lawrence, Mass. It charged Burns with taking up only such detective work aa would reflect discredit upon the working class and with piding an investigation that Would discountenance any capitalist. Mundell’s letter is as follows: Mr. Fremont Older, Managing Editor, The Bulletin, San Francisco, Cal. Dear Sir: I am authorized by Mr. William J to inform you in reply to your editorial of Sey bearing the title, “Where Was Burns When Wool Tr ‘Planted’ Dynamite?” that he in more than willing to take up the investigation of the alleged criminal use of dyna- mite by William M. Wood or any other person in connee tion with the textile strike at Lawrence, Mass, provided you will finance his investigation or send to this agency some one who will Mr. Burns further instructs me to Inform you that he is no respecter of criminals, be they rich or poor, Mr, Burns is a good citizen and believes that there is no justi- fleation for the commission of many of the more serious crimes under our laws. It was, of course, palpable to the most casual reader of your paper that Mr. Burns is not Investigating causes for the love of doing detective work any more than you are serving as managing editor of The Bulletin because of your love for its owners or because of your love of espous- ing the cause of the poor people. Mr. Burns does not make his fights by casting unwar ranted slurs at others, He deals with facts, and advises me to inform you that when, in the future, you are writing editorials in regard to him, you might do well to have some foundation in fact for what you deliver yourself of. It has been the experience of Mr. Burns to find that those who are yelling the loudest about the “downtrodden” are persons who never give up dollar in the interest of the poor or oppressed, but on the other hand are simply parasites who wax fat and wealthy on their pretended friendship for the laboring classes, Mr, Burns feela that you are just such a friend of labor as is Clarence Darrow, who, while shedding copious tears for the “martyrs” of labor, waa jingling In bis pocket a fatter fee than most lawyers who serve the rich have the pleasure of obtaining. He says further, that he is not in the business of protecting criminals of any class, as are those who seem #0 ready to condemn him or give news- paper #pace to that band of crooks who prey on the work- ing man. Mr. Burns’ reputation ia clean, and none knows It bet- ter than you. None of the alleged labor leaders, including an ex-convict, who now enjoys the privilege of making your office one of his several haunts, can boast of a similar reputation. You, better than any one else, know that Mr. Burns has brought to justice rich and poor criminals alike, and has never discriminated between crooks. You also know that several gentlemen of wealth in San Franciseo have spent vast sums of money in an attempt to “get something” on him, without success. I recall vividly your admission to me in my office that you had written, purely upon assumption, your recent sen- sational article, purporting to show that Hearst, Burne and District Attorney Fredericks, of Low Angeles, had entered into an alliance to make Fredericks governor of California as a result of his work in the McNamara case, Mr. Burns suggested that while you are rewriting the Bible, usurping the duties of the church, reforming the world and revolutionizing the working man, assist him to open his eyes by getting your friend Darrow to make the accounting, which he has long since promised to do, of how he spent the hundreds of thousands of McNamara defense fund dollars. Be a true friend of labor and help it to clean out the crooks who bring disgrace upon it, rather than help the debauchers of labor to cover up their crimes, Your Soclalistic tendencies will never be realized as long as you have what you have so often in the past com demned others for having—one set of laws for the poor; another for the rich, Any time you want to employ Mr, Burns to conduct any legitimate investigation, you will find him ready to do the work, Burna mber Very truly yours, W.
