Jack John son, suffering front an old-fushloned caso of "ha'nts," limped Into the of flco of Charles V. Dewoody of the federal department of Justlco today and complained bitterly because he was confined In one ot tho death cells at tho county Jail. The negro mvoro "spooks"' made merry around his cell nil night and that for the first time in his llfo ho was suffer ing from a weak back, "due to my thrashing around nil night when tho Bpooks wcro bothering mo." Dewoody told the negro ho ought to have a largo and comfortable cell. Johnson responded ho had no com plaint on tho slzo, '"but just think of sleoplng In a room whoro men huvo spout their last night on earth. I'd rather jump from the top of a twenty story building than to repeat that oxperlouco." John A. Perl Undertaker mjl. UAUTfcKTT , Ilio'iitw M. 47i an 473 AttHiUHe) Km lee Iteptity Coroner .1 OUT of tho conflict of labor nnd capitalout of indus trial turmoil and strife, has sprung a now and inis tor 16111, of tromoiidouft import to humanity. Syndicalism, a L'Yankonstom df evil omen, conjured into being by the erhncg of capitalism, roinorsely pursuing its creator to ayengt) by destruction the Jiin of its conception. Like all great radical movements, syndicalism has sprung from the masses, from the boiling of the dregs at' the bottom of the human caldron. Primeval and brutal in characteristics, its simplicity and crudeness give it enduring vitality and strength yet ft is but the reversed reflection or existing conventions, a satire on civili.atiut as seen wrong end to in the looking glass. Syndicalism is not socialism, which tenches the pcnro ful evolution of the all powerful democratic state through educationthis process is altogether too conservative niid slow. Neither is it labor unionism, which means the pro tection of the skilled few at the expense of the unskilled many. Syndicalism is the sei.nro by labor of the various in dustries of the world, so that the workers, all the workers, will receive full value of thfir labor. Syndicalism is world wide, it knows neither trade nor craft, neither rank nor class, neither race nor nationality. The workers of the world are to take possession of the machinery of produc tion of the world and abolish capitalism and the wage system even as tlie French Jacobins abolished aristocracy to establish fraternity and equality. The means to the olid the machinery to be employed to bring about this condition, is "direct action" sabotage nnd strikes. Sabotage is the gentle art of soldiering on tiie johj of decreasing tliu employer s profit, ot poor uork Inanship, of assisting in every way possible to bring on bankruptcy. Short strikes are to be called wherever possible to cripple industry and to mlify the toilers, to disorganize business without impoverishing the strikers. The striker. will return to work, asking no recognition, signing no agreements, for the strike is not meant to better existing conditions, but a step ill the program to ruin the employer and train the workers. Gradually the cost of production win increase so, ana tlie protits decrease so. tnat the em ployers, worn out, will give up the management of uil- protitable industry to workers. Some day, when the Avorkers arc trained sufficiently, the general strike will be declared and all industrv cease. rill. .. . ! n . a .. . . xne minority ot employers win do lorced to turn over everything to the majority of -workers and the industries will govern themselves according to their needs and lights. Such is the theory of syndicalism, which seems to be expressed hi the philosonhv of Peuuet: "Do vou want something? Don't ask for it. Make sure you are strong enough not to fear any comeback, and thch'tj.ko it." That has always been the ruthless philosophy of capitalism now it is to become the philosophy of the workers. "Vhnt syndicalism would have the workers do to cap ital, is only what capital or its predecessor, privilege, has always done to workers. It is the revolt of the toiler from centuries of mistreatment, serfdom and peonage Our factories, our mills and our mines liaVe heartlessly crushed the joV of life out of millions sacrificed lite to property even as'the (syndicalists would sacrifice property ami pro fits of the few, for life and profits for the multftude. Government must grow from below, as everything else in nature grows. It cannot grow downwards from the top. Man did not come from the angels but from the beasts, and as he grows so will his government grow. The bottom must bo bettered to perfect tn. top, ami the syndi calists realize it. Yet the syndicalist cares nothing for the finely spun threads of logic. He only knows Tie is the victim of convention and would brnshasidu the bill warks of convention as chains that bind him. Like thr sightless Sampson at CJnza, ho would pull down Hie temple about his enemies, though he perish in the ruins. Syndicalism has had a tremendous growth in Kluope, particularly in-France. It has but- recently secured a tool hold in America. Jt is the gospel of the Industrial Work ens of the World, "1. W. W." as they are known and Dill Haywood is its chief priest. Syndicalism is un-American in origin and conception. Jt belongs to the land of caste and .serfdom, whoro the rank and 'file are without -opportunity. Its growth in America is most rapid among tliu foreigners imported to lake the places of Americans by predatory employers who practice a thinly disguised peonage an actual wage slav ery. Its appearance follows the industrial and economic tyranny or the trust, which is making this a land where the worker is denied opportunity. Outside the more populous eastern status, America is still agricultural rather than industrial. The foreign ini migation has merged with the native and lost its charac teristics after a generation or two. The Anglo-Saxon typo still predominates, and your Aiifclo-Saxon is thick-headed, over n conservatives, loves his chains and docs not take kindly to innovations. Jfe prefers to reform by no it ion rather than by revolution. AVhen we restore to this nation a government that is not operated to enrich the few at the expense of the many, a government that curbs instead of fostei-s monopoly, de stroys special privilege and restores equality 'of opportun ity, syndicalism will fall of its own weight. However, per mit industrial conditions to continue another generation as they have been developing in the past and Franken stein will overtake his creator, n imih on n(iilo foliage in lltr I'tiHctl State, but does not con to conoid er it n slerWutrt post.
