WHICH SIDE OF THE FENCE? I
Old Party Workingman (who has been letting his party bosses do his think
ing for liirh): Well, that looks pretty good, but I don't see where I come in!
His Socialist Brother (who has been doing his own thinking and studying,
and has found out a few things): You are getting just what you voted for, you
Blamed Chump! You voted for the Private Ownership system when you voted
the republican and democratic tickets! Are you going to vote the old tickets some
more and get some niore of the same kind of Prosperity? Better help elect Debs
and Hanford, the SOCIALIST candidates, who stand for Public Ownership of the
Trusts, and then You and your Wife and Little Ones will be the ones who will be
enjoying the Prosperity, instead of the Idle Parasites who Own the Trusts! Take
a tumble to yourself, and don't be a Chump and a Sucker ANY MORE!

TO BE SURE.
How the Parryites Are Working Their
Little Game.
The Pullman company has just de
clared another dividend. There is food
for thought in this fact for ! every
workingman in the country.
It will be remembered that a few
short weeks ago the Pullman com
pany closed down its plant on the
I
ilea there was no work. A week latc-r
he works opened up again and the
rnployes were told that thfy could
.eturii to work, but that the company
vould only accept those who were wili
ng to work on the open shop plan.
Xvcry man known to have been guilty
jf having ever defended the rights 01
the workingman against the eneroacti
Jients of capital was classed as a '"la
Dor agitator" and refused employment.
Having resumed work on the "open
shop" plan the (Pullman company im
mediately did what every opponent ot
unionism intends doing just as soon as
the "open shop" system is enforced
the hours were made longer and the
rate of wages was reduced.
Union men and women should ponder
on this fact and ponder hard. The
plan of the Parryites is very simple.
Here it is in a nutshell:
First The "open' shop" plan is to
be enforced under the specious plea
that the employers insist on "manag
ng their own business" without the
interference of the labor ' unions.
Second Just as soon as the "open
shop" plan destroys the unions, and
the sweatshop methods of the Parvy
tes have nothing to oppose them, the
working day will be lengthened, the
rate of wages reduced, and every at
tempt to ameliorate the conditions un
der which the laborer must toil will be
easily thwarted.
Third With no organized opposition
to their greedy methods the employers
will be able to prevent further legis
lation in the interest of the wage
earning classes, and will also be able
to secure the repeal of those laws
which protect life and limb by com
pelling good sanitation, safety appli
ances and due regard for the individual
rights of the employes in mills, mines,
factories, offices and upon railroads
and steamships.
"The Parryites claim thattney are
not opposing labor unions, but only
opposing labor union methods. When
they make - such a claim they know
they are lying in their throats. Their
object is to destroy forever the labor
organizations the only bulwark that
oday stands between the wage-earners
and industrial slavery worse than chat
tel slavery. They know full well that
the "open shop" will destroy the labor
organizations. They know that with
the labor organizations out of the way,
and with courts and lawmaking bodies
under their control, they will be able
to grind down wages, ignore human
rights and degrade labor worse than it
was in feudal times.
this country who have not sense
enough to realize the danger confront
ing the working classes. Because they
happen to have jobs that permit them
to earn enough money to keep body
and soul together they are. well con
tent with existing conditions and take
no thought o f tomorrow. The black
slave in the old day recei-ed his food
and clothing and medical, attendance.
His stomach was always well filled.
He was in no danger of losing his job.
But the workingman of today is not) so
fortunate. His job too often does not
pay him enough to keep his family
well housed, well fed, and cared for in
case of sickness. And his job depends
upon the whim and caprice of great in
dustrial combines that traffic in the
necessities of the human race and give
no thought to anything but dividends.
The man with a job today may. be
the tramp of tomorrow. The black
slave of the old days had no such dan
ger confronting him.
When will workingmen aroiyse to the
danger confronting them? How long
will they be content with the crumbs
that fall 'from the tables of the trusts
and combines? When will they get to
gether, vote together and s?tay to
gether? The cost of the coronation of King
h,dward VII., detairs of which were
recently published, establishes a rec
ord for modern times. It . was consid
ered, until yesterday, a lordly and
magnificent thing for the subjects
of George IV. to spend 23S,00 in
putting a crown on his head, but we
have eclipsed their lavishness by
121,000. William IV. and Queen
Adelaide were content with a modest
50.000. It is not easy to under
stand in what King Edwards' 359,
000 was sunk, not so easy, at least,
as in the case of George IV. a sump
tuous record of wnose coronation
proved too costly to finish. The part
which did appear contained seventy
three colored drawings, "finished like
enamels, on velvet and white satin."
Each portrait cost 'fifty guineas. A
different spirit animated Karl Gray,
when defending the ministry from a
charge of unseemingly mutilations in
regard to King Edward's coronation.
"It was the hone of the king and the
ministers." he said, "to prevent a
heavy burden from falling on the peo
ple." London Chronicle. ,

"Look here," excalimed the Parry
its, walking into the butcher shop and
glaring at the butcher. "Look her,
I want a calf's head. But I do not
want any union calf's head. See? .I'm
against 'all unions."
"All right," said the butcher, seizing
a cleaver and going to work on the
calf's head "There you are,',' said the
meat cutter, wrapping up the bundle
and snapping the string.
"Sure this is a , non-union calf
head?" queried the customer.
"Sure," replied the butcher.
"How do you know?"

"Didn't you just see me takin' tlT
brains out o the durnsd thing!"
"Is this an "open shop'?'" queried the
man who entered.

"Any man can work here whether
he's union or not?"
"Yes, sir." ,
"All right, put me to work."

"Dat's all right; but has yer read

of reading a calendar. .
