Under the heading: "lBeware of Pro- mises," the editor of The Iumberjack has received the following letter: "Dear Sir: Please allow me space in your paper for a few lines. I will try to explain a few facts about capitalist promises. I was working at a Lumber Mill near about this place and they brought their paper around for all of us to sign. They said sign it or we will fire you and see that you can't gel work anywhere else. But told me if I would sign it and stay with them they would give me a better job and that I would have a job as long as they had a saw mill. At that present time I was getting $2..k) per day, and I signed it and done all I could for the Company and got most of my friends, and the Bosses would come around and slap us on the back and laugh and talk with us and treat to4 the cigars., I' wasn't long before they got enough' boneh t ads like myself to start the saw mill and in a few days they had a full crew, so the Bosses quit watching us so much and all the old boys arine hack and got from 1(e to 25. raise on the dlay. In ahout :30 l ays they raised nie as they said they won,idI froim *2.0{0 per (lay to $1.73. I raised a kick. They said if thle wafges didn't suit, just quit and they wouh li give u111 what I hadl coming less 1l1 per cent d isconit on the dollar. And finally they switched me around ou, thli hardest jobh they had .and raised ma aain -from $1.73 to $1.115. I work. e.I ,on beehnsi. I wasn't able to quit. Finally I got in debt. so on each article I se.iured I had to do something, so I (uit andl went off. (Came hack to move and found my folks all sick and when they got well I didn't have any money to move on, so I went to them for work and they said they had orders not to work me at all. That is what you will get from the capitalists if they gi t holt of you. Beware of their promises. My advice is to hold your head high if you (lies hard. It can't he any'worse dose than I got. Iteware all imitators. Sign no ,job. If you can, print this without sining my name. or I get my jaw nut tore' off. A. Bonehead." fMoral: I)on't he a bonehead. "be- ware of capitalist promises," and join the National Industrial Union of For. est and IlUmber Workers today, not after the Association has used you as a tool and played you for a sucker.

WAIL OF A BONEHEAD.

Under the heading: "lBeware of Pro-mises," the editor of The Iumberjackhas received the following letter:

"Dear Sir: Please allow me space inyour paper for a few lines. I will tryto explain a few facts about capitalist

promises. I was working at a LumberMill near about this place and theybrought their paper around for all of usto sign. They said sign it or we willfire you and see that you can't gelwork anywhere else. But told me if Iwould sign it and stay with them theywould give me a better job and that Iwould have a job as long as they had asaw mill. At that present time I wasgetting $2..k) per day, and I signed itand done all I could for the Companyand got most of my friends, and theBosses would come around and slap uson the back and laugh and talk with usand treat to4 the cigars., I' wasn't longbefore they got enough' boneht ads likemyself to start the saw mill and in afew days they had a full crew, so theBosses quit watching us so much andall the old boys arine hack and got from1(e to 25. raise on the dlay. In ahout:30 l ays they raised nie as they saidthey won,idI froim *2.0{0 per (lay to$1.73. I raised a kick. They said ifthle wafges didn't suit, just quit andthey wouh li give u111 what I hadl comingless 1l1 per cent d isconit on the dollar.And finally they switched me aroundou, thli hardest jobh they had .and raisedma aain -from $1.73 to $1.115. I work.e.I ,on beehnsi. I wasn't able to quit.

Finally I got in debt. so on each article

I se.iured I had to do something, so I

(uit andl went off. (Came hack to moveand found my folks all sick and whenthey got well I didn't have any moneyto move on, so I went to them for workand they said they had orders not towork me at all. That is what you willget from the capitalists if they gi t holtof you. Beware of their promises. Myadvice is to hold your head high if you(lies hard. It can't he any'worse dosethan I got. Iteware all imitators.

THE PREAMBLE.-- -o--

'l'hc wsorking class andl the emplloying class have nothing in common.There can Ihe no peace so, long as hunger and want are found amonig mil-

lions of working people, and the few, who make up the employing class,have all the good things of life.

Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the w .rkers of theworld organize as a class, take posse-sion of the earth and the machineryof production, and abolish the wage system.

We find that the centering of the management of industries into fewerand fewer hands make- the trade unions unable to cope with the ever-grow-ing Lpwer of the emnplhtying class. The trade unions foster a state of affairswhich allows one set of workers t , be pitted against another set of workersmn the -anme industry, tlhereby hclpini defeat one another in wage wars More-

over, the tratd unions aidl in empllying cla , to misleadl the worker, into

the ,celief that the workin.g ti'. hIi: i inttre.-ts in 'onunlon with their cm-ployers.

'The I. \V. \V. is the organization that made Prosecuting.Attincev Atwell say: "The I. XV. \V. has swept the countrylike a wild fire and we are powerless to stop it." The I.

pend upon themselves to get better conditions. The I. W. W.teaches that striking on the job is,the only way to raise wagesand shorten hours. The I. W.

The I. W. W. in-vites you to read its literature on Industrial Unionism, then,if you are a wage worker and do not become a member of the1. W.

Y. M. C. A. SELF-EXPOSED.

The following letter was received by an Alexandria mer-charnt who, however, failed to see why he should chip in andhelp pay the spiritual "policemen" who are "insuring" theLumber Trust against a thinkin? working class. The letterfollows:

"Tri-State Executive Committee of Y. M. C. A."(N. B.--Nearly one-half of this "Commitee are Llumber

Kings.--Ed.)Birmingham, Ala., January 29, 1913-

--r.----------------------Alexandria, La.

Dear Mr.-------------- ------Knowing that you are interested in the best welfare of the

young men and boys, we are writing to ask earnestly your sup-I port for the work of supervision and extension, carried on bythe Tri-State Executive Committee of the Young Men'sChristian Associations of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi-ana.

The results that have been secured under the direction ofthe State Executive Committee during the past year havebeen exceedingly gratifying. Investigations have been made't twenty lumber mills in co-operation with the International'Committee, in answer to a request from the Welfare Commit-

tee of the Yellow Pine .Manufacturer's Association. This hasresulted in the promise of six Associations, plans for thesebuildings are already out and two of them are now underway. New buildings have been erected at Birmingham and_Huntsville, Alabama, and Tupelo, Miss., and the Communi-ty Boys Work has been inaugurated at Meridian and Green-wood, Mississippi, and Shreveport, Louisiana.

Our year ends March 31st, 1913. Including our presentindebtedness it will require $3,g00.oox to close this year freeof debt. We enclose a subscription book and trust you willinter your name for as generous an amount as you can contri-bute. The gift may be paid now or before March 31st, 1913.

Please return t•t book within three or four days, usingthe enclosed envelope, that we may send it to other friends•\lake checks payable to C. H. Mloorman, State Secretary.'iThanking von in advance for this financial, I am,

Sincerely yours,(Signed) C. H. MOORMAN,

State Secretary."Read the above letter again and then read the following,

N hich is taken from the "subscription book:""President Ingals, of C. and O., said:Before W.c opened the Y'. M. C. A. work- n our line, it

(,st the Company $t,ooo per day for careless breakage andwvreckage. After three years work of the eleven departmentsour hooks show this sum has been reduced to $68.00 per day,a saving of $932 per tavy. Of course it pays to keep the R. R.Y. Ml. C. A. on our lines."

NOTF- Ingals is one of the biggest slave drivers in theworld. Then read this from the last page of the "subscrip-tion hook:" *

The appeal, which the Association frnom timeto time makes to, business men, is not, andought not to, be regarded as an appeal for charity. It is, in-st'ad, 1/th asking for an expenditure on the part of those tow-,'homn the r,'quist is addressed, as legitimate to the further-antc' of their bhusincss ente'rprise as that which is incurred forpli,,c or fire insurane. or any other outlay which has regardifor th,'ir I'PROI'PERTY INTEREST.

The man who fails to give heed to the call of the Associa-tion, after once heing made acquainted with its rwerits, imakesso gravte an error as to reflert upon the soundne..of his busi-ness judgment.- Ex-Comptroller of the United States Cur-rency." "

(The italics, but not the caps, are ours.- Ed.)Then rea:l this leaflet that was also inclosed in Secretary

.loorman's letter:"~Wc have two branches of the Association, one at our

logging camp and one at LaurJl, and are pleased beyond ex-I-,ressic n with the rceults of our experience. I hope that many:othcr mauufacturcrs may become intcrested."

E\ASTMAN (;ARDINER I'Mi1ER CO.. .Laarel, MIiss."

SRead the above "Business l'ropositiois" over .4gain, clnu-

plc with them the fact that all the lite;ature sent to the Alex-t andria merchant is couched in Business Terms, then consider: along \with all this the fact that the Y. .I. ('. A. is behind the

"llo, Scout" movement, which is an attempt to poison the-childl-mind with the military spirit, i. e., gunman-ideals, and-then add to this the further fact that the Y. M. C. A. is join-ing in the strenuous campaign to lure young men into theNavy. and, then, if you can't see the game of the Yellow PineM.anufacturers Association, alias the Southern Iumber Op-erators Association, and its spiritual "police" and soul "''in-surance" agents, the Y. M. C. A., which is to do to you lum-berjacks what the Association and all its politicians, gunmen1and kept writers have been unable to do-keep YOU' from

THINKING and ACTING for YOURSELVES in theONE BIG UNION of your class--then you have lost all cadSpacity to think, are fit subjects for the "ennobling" influenceof the Y!. M. C. A., and should join the Sawdust Ring's spir-I itual "police" force today and help the blacklisters, the man-

Shunters, the motherhood-murderers and baby-starvers toemasculate the soul of your class. But if you have a grain ofmanhood, a flash of intellect left in you, you will resent beingI classed as "Products" along with "Coal, Iron, Steel, Cotton,

Lumber," etc., as "Investments," to be declared into "Divi-dends" by the Y. M. C. A. for the Lumber Trust, and, insteadof being sheep shorn by a lot of guntoting shepherds, you willbe men, join the National Industrial Union of Forest andLumber Wprkers and march with your brothers to a MAN'Sl victory over these peonherders and Christ-syndicators. Don'tbe a sheep. Don't help these modern Judases, who havenot the shame to go hang themselves, tp syndicate, sell and re-crucify the rebel Carpenter of Nazareth.

I.r Then they seized you and they crowned you with a burning

crown of thorns;Now, the Masters bow before you and a servile priesthood

II.On the cross they built for labor, lot they hanged you in the

"ONIY A NIGGER."-o-- -0- --

One day last summer, while they were firing men at BiiAmi for having attended a I'nion mass meeting held ,on theoutskirts of that fold of sanctified gunlltters, a petty hosswalked into the hotel and discharged a white worker whoI had been guilty of said crime. T'hen the boy who was wait

Sing on the table took off his apron, laid it on the back of a-chair and said: "I reckon you had better let me go, too,, be-

Scause I, too, am a Union man." No, Florence, the hbov whor showed that splendid spirit of solidarity was not a "'supremeI whitc"-he was "only a nigger."

The "supreme white Anglo-Saxons were the ,nes who- heat tincans and saws to disturb and break the I nion's

meetings and then whined: "I had to do it or lose my jobh."- T'hat's what they did, Florence. Guess that's one reason whythev hate the "''damn nigger" so. I've always noticel that itjars this "cream" of our "superior" race to, have a memberof the "interior" races make a demonstration of nerve whilev his "superiors" are down in the mud licking bhoots for a job

they haven't even a rent title to. .And, he was only a havr ONLY .I NIGGER."

town we were met by a mob led by thisofficer, whose: name is Kelly, and Mr.Fred Martin, foreman of the mill at BonAmi and a leading member of the Bap-tist Church. This mob had a large cir-cular saw rigged up in a cart, which fellin behind the vehicles iq which we wereriding, and six or seven men in thecart, using long bolts, began to beat onthe saw, while other members of themob followed along on foot beating tincans, small saws and iron shields, whichlast had been made especially for theoccasion. This they continued doing un-til we were about half way to Carson,when ('has Smith, who was kiled fromamlbush by Deputy Sheriff Del Charlanandt his posse near Merryville last Sep-tember, got in one of our wagons andordered them to stop their infernal rack-et. This order was immealately obeyedand the silence of fear reigned until wereached the outskirts of Carson. whereSmit left us and we were met by ano-ther mob armed with the same kind ofnoise making instruments and led byGeneral Manager Morrison and Super-intendent Crawford of the Central Coaland Coke ('o. About 150 Union men andwomen also met us at Carson.

We stopped our wagons on the publicroad on the outskirts of the town andtried to hold our meetings but, when Irose to speak, the officials of Bon Amiandl ('arson gathered their mobs aroundthe wagon and drowned out my voiceby yelling and beating saws, cans andshields.

And not an Italian was fied, either,for there were no job-cowards on thatgallery-they were all in the shamelessmob of native born Americans whowere that day, at the beheus of drunkenoverseers, disgracing their revolution-ary forefathers. And, so, whenever Ihear a "native born American" talk-ing about "damn foreigners," I thinkof that day at Bon Ami and Carson,and know that what's troubling himis that his pride has been hurt by somebunch of "foreigners" setting a pacehe did not have the nerve to follow.

Looking back at it all, I only pitythe mob of "freeborn supreme whiteAmericans" who dwell at Bon Ami andC(arson, and I sincerely hope the Asso-ciation's spiritual "police" force willfind the body of the one who fell atGrabow in defense of his Master's"rights" and, keeping from her thetruth of how he died, send it home tothe mother grieving for her boy, there,in Michigan.

THE AMERICAN COSSACK."The man on horseback" has always

typified despotism. Ths means "Si

assassin of discussion and the destroyerof dcmrnoracy. histcorically he has s-

ualdly ceen the amlitiois g.eneral usurp-ing politic'al powers and becoming an

autoc'rat. lie has always been dreaded

by all who have worked for the pro-

"A BMlM ANlll NAr" MIRu D.

Elizabeth, La., Jan. 27, 1913.Editor "The Lumberjack,"

Alexandria, La.Dear Sir:"

I have just finished reading yourlast "luumbetjack," and beg leave tocomment on some of the more curiousfeatures.

In my estimation your article headed"Union Demands," deserves the goldmedal; with Jay Smith's "WorkingClass Polities," a very close second.

But those "demands," now, say,friends,-they are simply hypnotizing.Still, I wish to suggest that they shouldhave been set forth into the customary

ten articles. instead of only eight; thiswould give the program a more finish-ed appearance. So I accept your thanksin advance, for supplying the two nis-sing numbers, as follows:

(9) Every workingman's "residence"to be supplied with a self-player pianoof approved model, also an adequatesupply of eanna d melody-this last to,be replenished or exchanged at the

wish and whim of the "proletarian" us-ors and without any cost whatever.

(10) A moving picture theatre ofiuitahle size and appointments, to be

built by the "Company," and operatedFree gratis. for the delectation of allemployees and their families.

Of course, you understand. Mr. Ed-itor, thAY if our lumberjacks are to la-lior only eight hours each day, theymust be offered some means to kill timewhile not at their jobs, and what bettermeans, I ask you, than these last two"demands." which would give thewhole lumberjack population a chanceto satisfy its artistic yearntngs? Therealization 'of your demands would nodoubt gladden the hearts of all themembers of your I. W. W. Onion, butyou must know that such a thing is ut-terly impossible; therefore. I considerthat to fill the childish minds of ignor-ant laborers with such dope is plain,malicious cruelty.

The class of people whose "holyCause" you pretend to champion, willderive no benefit from your paper, un-less yom can teach through its columnsthat the only sure way for the wage-worker to better his condition, is to ap-ply himself more conscientiously to hisjob. thereby increasing his efficiencyand value to his employers.

Your "Lumberjack." if It persists inits present policy, will be a mere trou-hie breeder: and of trouble. God knows,we already have a-plenty in the TimberhIelt.

I shall not comment at t histime ontJay Smith's "piece." except to call at-tention to his opening statement that:"The politician, like the preacher, is athine of the past." This alone stampshim as an Atheist and revolutionarySocialist: his mind is no doubt, proofagainst all the powers of logih' and rea-

son. therefore I ignore his challenge toall emlloyees of labhor. and remain.

Yours, etc..

(Signed) A IH[INESS MAN.

Comment.

The above letter, evldently from somesmart "Law and ()rder Leaguer,"with its references to "ignorant labor-ors," "Atheists," etc.. and its advicethat "the only sure way for a wage-worker to better his condition is to in-crease his efficiency and value to his

,mloyer," shows the average "busi-

ness man's" idea of a "perfect" work-

inlg man. that is. he must he a perfectmachine, never thjnking of himself and

4is. but always of andt for the Boss ala Kirby's and Frost JTohnson's slaves.When he does think of and for himself'

hlie must he ridiculed about his "artistieyearnings." Bu;t. having secure l a free

by your man-wrecking' "slquirrel cirr"

and blind-tiger booze. And. don't wor-rv ahbout our eight demands not heing

TAWA A331.

The Recording Secretary, FellowWorker M. Olay, of Local Union, No.102, I. W. W., of Ybor City, Florida,and Fellow Worker Salinas, Editor ofour paper, "El Obrero Industrial,"were arrested and thrown into jail atTampa, Florida, cn January 23rd, un.der the infamous alien anarchist law,and now the "native born American"white trash that serve so shamelesslythe Spanish buccaneers who own theCigar and Tobacco Factories of thatnotorious slave pen, are moving heavenand earth to deport Fellow WorkerSalinas back to his (t) "native land,"which is Cuba, which was stolen fromFellow Worker Salinas and his peoplefor the Trusts, just as Dixie was stolenfrom us, by an arn of gunmen madeup of American born white-trash.

We have got to put a crimp in thisbusiness of the Bosses jailing, deportingand ,outraging working men who standup for the righis of their class,'and wemight as well start on Tampa. I oftenwon,ler what would become of Tampaand Yhor City if the working men andfarmers who make up the great armyof consumers would just be sure thatinome of their cigars, stogies, tobacco oreigarettes were made in either of thesehellholes I wonder. Our Revolution-ary forefathers played hell with GreatBritain by just refusing to buy herproducts. Don't forget that an injuryto one is an injury to all and, - don'tforget Tampa when you are buying ci-gars and tobacco.

And let all labor organizations pourletters and telegrams of protest againstthese infamous arrests and persecutionsin on: The Secretary of Commerce andLabor. Washington, D. C.; the Gover-nor of Florida, Tallahassee, Fla., andthe Mayor of Tampa. Fla. Demand ofthe Secretary of Commerce and Laborthat, if he is going to deport anybody,it be the infamous authorities of thethe infamous City of Tampa. Make itstrong.

Twenty years of industrial oppression-- unparalleled in the history of thiscentury--has rendered the workers em-ployed in the possessions of the STEELTRUST timid, submissive and obedientof eruel masters.

*Wa1es are kept at the lowest pointpossible. Long hours of exacting toilrelate the fate of toilers in hundreds ofhuman beings being killed every month,and by the outery of the thousandsmaimed and crippled every year, andstipped back. like useless cattle, to thecountries they came from. All this toincrease the profits of the Roekefellers.Carnegies and other bloodhounds of ourpresent industrial exploits.

Silaee egled esa I"umr, Aso many yeaa, until the rnssm d amemployed in the plants of te Steel Caporation, at Homestead, the histokrbattle ground of Amerlosm labor, Braddock and Duquesne, thought that theyhad a right to seek redress agAus appalling wrongs by petition, a right gumanteed to every eitizen of this countryin the bill of rights conquered with theblood and tears of millions before us.

The Steal Trust locked out the peti.tioners. Hundreds of men, servinglong years for the corporation, weredenied the right to work. But thislockout has started the war that theSteel Trust sought to prevent by theproffers of fat jobs to gunmen, detec-tives and cheap politicians.

This lockout has broken the groundand hundreds of thousands of toilersare preparing in all steel mill towns toget a larger share in the proceeds oftheir hard exacting toil in the posses-sions of the corporation. All are pre-paring to give battle to the steel trustand other corporations so that less 1jo.ney be spent in useless libraries andmore of the necessities of life will comeinto the homes of the workers.

But these men, women and childrenwho have started the greatest strugglethat the world has ever heard of, mustbe supported, and they must be giventhe chance to carry the propagandainto the hovels and huts where the un-derpaid steel workers are compelled todwell, and into the pestiferous environment that the masters of the institutionsfor our exploitage have imposed bytheir economic power..
