J., sentenced to serve from one to 15 years In the penitentiary for his frank criticism of the city police during the strike of silk mill employes, last February, The police had brutaily charged and beaten a group of peaceful strikers, In eluding women and child By Alexander Scott > ho first Monday in September is looked upon as Labor day—one day in one year of 365 days set apart as a holiday in honor and recogni- tion of labor. Tt is Labor's own day. The other 364 days belong to Cap- ital. The situation should be re versed. Capital might be al lowed one day by labor, which would retain the other 364 days to itself, just as capi tal now does For labot is the prime fac- tor in our civilization. Labor creates all wealth. No com modity is of any valne—any use—until labor power has been applied to it Capital could not mine coal, which is worthless while in the ground. From the mo- ment that the first spade is dug into the earth until the coal is shoveled into the cellar Alexander Scott or fireroom, the only factor entering into and increasing the VALUE of the coal is labor power. True, the PRICE is increased by the capitalists (mine owners, railroad stockholders, wholesalers, etc.) but not the VALUE. The same illustration could be applied to every other industry. Capital—the money power—has become so powerful that it has gotten control, not only of the government, but nearly every one of our social institutions, among which are educa- tional and religious organizations and a large part of the ess. The ideas and ethics of capital are promulgated by Sa ° VILLAGE COP, | . | One evening, Just at dusk, a man | drove through a non-Alpine village | with a handsome car, with all the modert Hardly had he proc ceded a square | before a constable loomed large | “See here, young fellow,” ex-| Jelatmed the official with command: | ing emphasis, “you will have to | Might up your lamps.” | “All right, old pal,” cheertly an awered the motorist, “Just as you |way about it With that he touched a button, and instantly the powerful light gleamed forth For a moment the | oonsta was stunned It wan his first experience with electric Hehts in an automobile, But he soon re cov “Say, young feller,” he exclatm-| ed, moving nearer the car, “don't try to get gay When I} tell you to «| mean! for you to step o light ‘em! ft LITERARY ?| °o o A reference to books reminded Senator Thornton of Loulsiana of the literary conversation between Mra. Smith and Mra. Brown. Mrs, Smith was very fond of reading, and while on a Mra. Brown she started talk with a view to discov particular work host best its servants, and adopted by a majority of the general public. | Tt is the belief of capital that labor as a factor in our industrial life is subordinate and should be subservient capital. And to demolish this idea, and protect itself against ttter degradation, labor has organized, knowing that in union there is strength. Capital fights these organizations—fights bitterly, cu ningly, savagely. It is particularly hostile to the leaders and so-called agitators of the labor movement, who give their time and ability to strengthening the forces of labor and subverting the ideas which capital secks to instil int: mind of the wage worker. To be hounded, maligned and often thrown into a felon’s cell is the common lot of the labor leader and adviser. The policeman’s club, the courts and jail are brought to bear against dissenting (striking) workers. Also a majority of the newspapers can be relied upon to distort or news when required. IT have been sentenced to the penitentiary for printing the truth during the Paterson strike, and the leaders of that strike have all spent time in jail. Samuel Gompers and scores of other labor leaders have faced a court of justice and been threatened with imprison- ment time agd again. Many of them have actually spent years behind the bars. And some have died in prison. Well, Capital is King today, but his throne is tottering, and he is too blind to see it. He is drunk with power and greed. Labor is about to ascend the throne Right is on our side. To fight against starvation wages and long hours, which sap the blood and corrupt the morals, is a worthy fight. It is real Christianity No matter if some are martyred. It seems inevitable that for every good done some must suffer. It has always been so—perhaps always will be so.

This is the real object sought by the labor movement all over the world. When this is accomplished, instead of error, we shall have truth; equity instead of injustice; joy instead of sorrow. And when Labor sits on the throne instead of indolence then we will live in peace and comfort, enjoying the fruits of honest and honorable labor and admire its beauty and a Then EVERY day will be “LABOR DAY.” e my! MY! How Link Davis surprises us. He's just back from Washington, D. C., and says Jones is the logical candidate for senator, and Humphrey and Johnson are ideal congressmen. Coming from such @ faithful standpatter as Link Davis, we are most certainly surprised— The Move for Charter Revision ESIDES the submission of the commission form of gov- ernment to the people’s vote, the charter revisionists would be of service in harmonizing many sections in the present charter, which, if not in conflict with each other, make for the overlapping of duties and powers of various of- ficials. In the past few elections, there have been many amend- ments submitted to the people on this account—amendments that were of no general interest, but which caused extraordi narily long ballots. Charter revision, therefore, helps to simplify our regular elections. The, Seattle charter has not been revised for a great umber of years, and Councilman Griffiths’ resolution calling for the election of 15 freeholders to revise the charter is wor- thy of support, regardless of the merits of the commission form of government.
