THE ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT. MAY 1 J, 1893. v, IS k Til ME WAKING UP. Oitiien' Industrial AllUncs of Western Peasfjhanh Ietnes a Circular. WAJTT A 4tk OF JULY CONFERENCE. Organized Capital is Seeking to Destroy Organized Labor. Laboring Men Must Stand or Fall Together. A Strong Appeal. The Citizens' Industrial Alliance of Pennsylvania at a recent meeting at Pittdburg issued the following circular to the laboring men of the country. Gentlemen We, the officers Dd ccembert of the Citizens' Industrial alli ance of western Pennsylvania, coraoosed of delegates from all labor organization?, Independent and social clubs Knights of Labor, etc., declare that the late action of the court as affecting the P.rotherbood of Locomotive Engineer, Switchmen's un ion, the labor organizations of New Or leans, the clothing cutters of New York, the tyranny manifested in the trial of the Homestead men and tbe subserviency of the militia to the Interests of the cap italist, warn us of an approaching crisis In the history of America that will deter mine whether the man that earns his liv ing by "the sweat of bis face" shalt pos wBS the Inherent right of personal liberty or the bonduge of the slave. The gradual usurpation of tbe func tions of government by the capitalistic claaies has been so imperceptible and systematic that the great industrial classes ombraclng every avenue of productive enterprise, have failed to realize their true condition until their subjugation was almost com pletek We can now well un derstand the deep laid scheme of the monopolist. To encourage tbe formation of labor organizations was their first step, and while the working men were honestly combining for the purpose by increasing the efficiency of their members, the capitalists were busy attending political conventions, dictating Dominations of men who were but ngents In their employ, formulating laws to be passed in their interest, influencing the appointment or election of judges who are but corporate tools and culminating their treasonable plan by officering the militia largely with a class of men wholly sub servient to their slightest demands. They have no further use for labor or ganizations now. Entnroned behlud the rinkerton and the militia, and hidden beneath the gowns of the judiciary that construe the laws framed in their Interest, they tear oil the mask and inso lently say to the Industrial classes, "you have no rights that we respect." The at tack that is now being made on your or ganizations is nn attack on organized la bor of all vocations. When your organi zations are rendered harmlefs others will .be assaulted until it will be destroyed, and the employe will become as the litis "elan serf. Brothers, the Citizens' la dustrlal Alliance is composed of delegates from local unions o! nearly all classes of labor, who are banded together for po litical purposes. We believe the only way to recover our lost Industrial liber ties is by the industrial classes combining together for Independent political action, and support only such men and measures as will change the present conditions to those which will permit us t3 enjoy tha 'wealth we create. We believe that the railroad employe, the farmer, the me chanic, the miner and all wageworkers are the architects of of all that is virtuous in society and grand and glorious in the fabric of governments. By their indus try and ingenuity the crude materials of nature are formed for the use of man; by their bravery and patriotism they defend the homes and Institutions they have reared against their enemies. We find, permeating every element of society and government, the most insi Jluous foe that bas worked the destruction of every na tion that has ceased to make history. Unequal laws have ever been more fruitful of oppression than standing ar mlea. Unjust laws are framed for tbe jmrposeof evoking the power of armed Xorcea to enforce them. One of the most Vital economic questions presented Unlay for the American people to solve is whether the railroads, tbe telegraph and telephwe aytteuis shall own the people, or the people shall own them. We be lieve that If the goveramentcan take poe eaalon of a railroad ryttem through a re elver, and In a few months pay off lu debts and put It on , a paying basis, ' It conclusive evidence that It could own and porattt;ta the best Interests ot the Whole people. DrottMrt, bad laws tuuat be repealed and corrupt JuJijm displaced. It la our only hope of future peace, proaperlty and aapploo. Are we teady la use ev rf effort to cooperate with all Industrial rgauUaUi! and tta wganlitd labor of all clae ot America la the formation of a poll thai u.loo Uiat will ruir k In tha people a government la keeping with the spirit of out declaration uf lnJ pKsvWnc?

WlIUaK II. IE, JL It. Fkt, S. N. McCaRTBT, Committee. CO MM I NTS. The organized farmers of the west and south should hall this sign of awak ening in the east with joy. No doubt the ideas of these men as to the best mode of procedure are crude. So were the ideae of the farmers two years ago. It should be remembered that the laboring men of the east know almost nothing of the great populist movement of the west and south. The first thought of an enthusiastic populist would naturally be that It Is nonsense for these men to talk about starting an independent political orga nization, when the populist party is already in the field. But a moment's thought will show that these eastern fel lows are just waking from their lethargy just getting their eyes open, and they are doing just what the organized farm ers did two years before them: pro posing to get together and talk over what they had best do about it. Tbe sentiments expressed In this circular Indicate that the people's party has nothing to fear and every thing to hope from such a move. If this circular should result in a great industrial con fcreDce at Chicago, it certainly will re sult in bringing into the ranics of the People's party a great host of men who now scarcely recognize its exist ence, editor. TIIK INDUSTRIAL LEGION. la To lie Made the Successor to the Citizens' Alliance. Some two years ago a number of po litical reformers, mostly in Kansas, undertook to organize a political so ciety under the name of the "Citizens' Industrial Alliance." Their idea was to do for the people generally what the Farmers' Alliance had for the agri cultural classes, namely, to organize and educate them. While the motive was good and tbe plan seemed excel lent, the effort was not generally suc cessful. The organization gained some foothold in a number of states, but it never gained that strength and per manency which alone could make it a success. The Industrial Legion was organized a few months ago with objects and plans substantially the same as those of the N. C. I. A. That the work aimed to bo done can be better accomplished by one great organization than by two rival societies must be evident. This fact Is recognized by the loading work ers in the older organization and thev are showing a meat commendable spirit in the move which the following letter will explain: Washington, D.

Uy common consent all work for the future in the wav of tion was dropped for the time being.

It was designed to push the work of sys tematic and thorough education in eco nomics hv mnftna nt mull ! .. .i courses of lectures and the use of pro gressive lesson papers prepared by the best teachers and thinkers in the coun try. The COmDOSltlOn and r-mrinllatlrm of these papers were already arranged for, but owing to the fact that the Na tional President. Noah Alton no called UDon to servn hi a atata In an m. cial capacity and the duties of that office, together with the peculiar and unprecedented stress of the situation in Kansas.absorbed his time and energy be was unable to give the requisite at tention to the N. C. I. A. In like man ner my own time and thought were concentrated upon the situation in my own beloved state. It thus became es sential that other persons possessing tho leisure and better fanlHt.i much needed service to the cause of re form should step forward and under take the service. It w as doomed best by them to start afresh in the matter of organization and the Industrial Le gion thus became the legitimate suc cessor of the Industrial Allianoe. I have held much correspondence re lating to tbe new organization and am pleased and greatly encouraged to note 1U sulendla growtn. 1 hope in the not far future to see my cherished plans for ysiematlo atudy carried forward by the Industrial Legion.

He I'rojKMws to Found a School fjr roll! leal Education of Citizen General Weaver has issued a circu lar from which the following is an ex tract Whether or not the scheme is feasible, the great need of some such work cannot be disputed: "Every patriotic citizen whose mind is awake U the necessity of economic reform in the United States is pain fully aware of the great lack of means through which to reach the minds of tbe people. They realize that the ad versaries of human liberty those who would rob hnd enslave the world are full handed and have the attention and control of the masses of the people. They control tbe best trained intel fects and most of the colleges and uni versities of the country. So great is the power of this state craft that a half dozen of them thrust into power can battle a majority of a legislative body whhh is really bent on honestly serv ing the people. Hence the over shad owing necessity for general, thorough and correct instruction of the great body of the people upon economic ques tions and the grave duties of cittzet ship must be apparent to all. "In view ot the gravity of the situa tion I make tbe following proposition: There shall be established at Des Moines, la., an independent school cf political science, with a five months terra extending through the months of November, December, January. Febru ary and March in each year, commenc ing November 1, 18!)3, in which shall be established professorships with the fol lowing cirrlculum: Land, public utili ties and Inventions, nnance, transpor tation, constitutional law and legisla tion, suffrage, applied Christianity and public debates. "This school shall be onen to everv citizen, both men and women, without regard to previous training or educa tion, unce in two weeks discussions will be held open to tbe public, when any one of tbe proper standing who is at variance with our economic theories can, at the expense of the school, have an opportunity under established rules to meet an antagonist in open, court eous aeoate Derore tue public and can thus publicly compare his vlewj with those regularly taught .in the Institu tion." There have been from time to time various kinds of roofing material in troduced to the public and under names which bear no relation whatever to tbe material from which they are actually manufactured, and our farmers having once been victimized by these unscru pulsus dealers look with with distrust on anything of a similar nature, no mmier now gooa ns quality may bo.
