HE labor question, broadly stated and understood, is the
question of HUMANITY'. On it depends the welfare of
ALL the people. The capitalist system, which springs from
feudal times; has divided society into two classes—capita.-
ists and the workers—and these classes are pitted agaimt
each other in a WORLDWIDE STRUGGLE. Unfortunately for the
workingmen the capitalists own the tools, which in these days consist
of machinery. A different state of affairs existed a hundred years ago,
when men worked by hand Then there were no millionaires AND
NO TRAMPS. Today we have about 1,000 of the former and ap-
proximately 1,000,000 of the latter.
There are 26,000,000 working people in the United State* at the
present time. Five million are women and 2,000,000 are children,
Having no tools of their own, they ar» forced to enter the labor market,
COMPETING WITH EACH OTHER for a livelihood. They do
not sell themselves bodily, but they sell ten and twelve hours of their
time each day for a stipend.

|i . The capitalist class is unnecessary to society. Its members do eb-
solutelv nothing that is useful. Their function is to spend WHAT
THE WORKING CLASS PRODUCES.
Let me use Andrew Carnegie as an illustration. He is a fully de-
veloped capitalist and therefore a fully developed parasite. Carnegie
owns or practically owns a great modern steel plant, in which ,0,000
men toil for a living. These 70,000 men do the work and produce Car-
negie's wealth. Carnegie spends most of his time in Scotland and has
no more to do with the direction of the steel industry in Pittsburg than
if he were on another planet. The same is true of the capitalist class
generally.
Politicians employed by capitalists endeavor to keep the working-
