of A. F. of L., to adjust the matters in
dispute, by conciliation, or conference
by both parties involved, all propositions offered by the representatives of
Organized Labor, have been defied by
the Manager of said plant representing
the Texas Company.
Mr. Drake, the manager above referred to. has taken the position, at each
interview, that there is NOTHINGC 'O
AI)JI'ST. His contention is that the
('ompan}y intends to treat all grievan,esthrog.h the, diffeernit foremen and
individual irempl•ovees. I)ENYING TIlE

represernte*d thrmoh a Committee. or
anu other Representative of Organized
.a;lior, therefore leaving the employees
without any protection from their fellow workmen, or their ITnion, and absolutely at the mercy of the foreman
of each department.
Representatives of Organized Labor
tequie.sted Mr. Drake to put the men
,ho were, discharged back to work.
x'hieh was delnied. lie was also re.ll1"sted to take the matter of a Wage
S.ale and adjust various reductions
that had been made with a committee
of his employees. TIHIS ALSO WAS
RE USED.
Therefore it is evident this Company
does not intend to treat its employees
in the spirit of FAIRNESS AND JUS'I'ICE, nor to recognize Orgariized LaIhr in any way when a aretevanee occurs in its plant.
VWetake this method to notify all
l'nion Men, and all other Workmen, to
,c.ase work at this plant and stay away
from the same plant, and advise their
Crie.nds to do so,. until this trouble is
::atisfanetorily adjusted.

THE PREAMBLE.
-o-
The working class and the
mnploying class have nothing in common.
There can be no peace so l,ng as hunger and want are found among miillions of wi rking people, and the few, who make up the employing class,
have all the good things of life.
Between thiese two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the
world organize as a clias, take possessiin of the earth and the machinery
of priuction, and abolish the wage system.
We find that the centering of the management of industrfes into fewer
an,! fewer hands make, the trade unions unable to cope with the ever-growin" piower of the employiri' class. 'T'he trade unions ifoter a state of affairs
which allows one set of workers to be pitt( d against another set of workers
in the same industry, tlhtreb he.llint defeat one another in wage wars Mloreover, the trade unions aid i
iemplolying class to mislead the workers into
the belief that the working clanu have interests in comm11on with their employers.
'Th
'l
conditions can b
chancted and the interest of the working class
uphel onlyv lv an organiatian
f,,rmel in such a way that all its members
in any ntie inldust yv. r in all inmlulstri , if nicessary, cease work -henever a
strike or lockouf is n inrl any d lartmtent thereof, thus making an injury to
one an injury to all.
Instead of the con-ervative motto. "A fair day's wage for a fair day's
work," we must it:nscribe on our hanner the revolutionary watchword,"Abolition of the wage system.'
It is the historic missiont *f the working class to do away with capitalism. The army of production must be organized, not only for the everyday
struggle with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalism
shall have been overthrown.
By organizing industrially we are forming the
structure of the new siocitty within tl:e shell of the old.

No body of men combined together can get concerted action unless each one understands why and for what they are
combined. No person can listen to one, two or ten labor
speecthes and learn the entire principles of the organization
of which they are a part, nor can one, two, or ten organizers
control the actions of a thousand workers. Nor is an organizer with the experience of dozens of strikes as valuable to
an uneducated membership as he is to one that understands.

necessary: Read the Preamble of the I. W. Wr. until you understand it. Then read as much as possible on the class struggle. Read such pamphlets as. "Why Strikes Are Lost and
I-How to Win;" "The History, Methods and Structure of the
I. W. W.;" "The One Big Union;" "How Capitalism Has
Hypnotized Society;" "Value, Price and Profit;" "Anti Patriotism." and other standard pamphlets on "Industrial Unionism." Subscribe to "The tumberjack" and know of current events in the South. Know what is doing in labor circles. Then, if you can, get the "Industrial Worker," P. O.

WHAT UNION HAS DONE.
-0---
"What has the Union ever done?" This question is often
asked of Forest and Lumber Workers, especially and eagerly
by their enemies, the Bosses and their stool-pigeons. It is a
companion to their old worn out declaration "The Brotherhod is dead." Both the question and declaration are, of
course, interested to discourage the workers from joining and
aiding in the upbuilding of the Union. All workers should

T'he reason why is plain. Improvements in methods of
production are the cause of unemployment. The establishment of a National eight hour work day would not only tend
to reduce the army of unemployed, and the opportunities for
the boss to get strike-breakers, but it would also tend to abolish bread lines, Charity institutions, Rock Piles, Chain-

Perhaps the most deplorable fact which confronts the
workers today is their desire to be led. On every hand comes
calls for organizers and speakers. "We want some one to
show us what to do," is an every-day declaration of the working class that wishes' to free itself from industrial bondage.
iThere seems to be forever that desire to be led.
''This is the thing that has been fatal to many labor unions.

and why are they so anxious to prove it "dead?"
"THERE'S A REASON."
Let us see what it is, why the Bosses want you to believe
the Union is a failure. This is what the Union has done:
First, It has forced -teAssociation to advance the wages
of "common labor" 25c a day and more thru out West
iana and East Texas and the fear of it has stopt the Louisprogressive lowering of the wage rate that was being practiced
thru
out the Southern Timber Belt and has started an
upward tendency everywhere.
Second, It has cut the work-day down to ten hours over a
wide territory where before it had been eleven, twelve
and
more hours long.
Third, It has forced a big reduction in rents, commissary
prices, insurance, doctor and hospital fees, even having abolished, in many places, the last three grafts entirely.
Fourth, It has forced a two weeks, and in some places
a
weekly, payday and compelled the Conmpanies
to ease up on
the discount graft.
Fifth, It has advanced the price for log-cutting and
ed a more honest scale thru out the "infected territory."forcSixth, It won the Grabow trial, fried Emerson and his
associates, and defeated every politicianbvlho belonged to the
Pujo Persecution, except "Gus" Martin, and it hasn't forgotten him.
Seventh, It has held the Southern Lumber Operators Association up before the eyes of the civilized world and is forcing it to abandon its system of government by assassination.
Eighth, It has brought light where there was darkness,
hope where there was despair, and has doomed peonage to
destruction. This, not to say anything abnut "free
harhecues," "free flags," "free excursions" and "free Jlohn Henry
orations," nor to mention the army of gunmen, detectives
and
kept writers it has caused the Association to employv, this i,

\'hien a man who poses as a general of
labor and his conneil of officers have,
for over dthirty years, aided and abetted in the destruction of every .real

in all this time they have suIr.,•ededl

whenever a real TUnion gets the Plunderbund up a tree, the 'Prtorium always rushes to the scene, not to aid the

down if it can the Union that is winning for the Workers. Why is it?

But few people realze the fact that
labor is the true and only basis of civilization. But for labor there could he
no civilization. I assert that there is
not an institution, political, educational. religious, financial or industrial,
that is not based on labor. I further assert that there is not a necessity, convenience, or luxury that is not produc-
ed by labor.
Therefore it necessarily
follows that labor is the keystone to
the. arch of civilization; in fact, it is
civilization itself! I further assert that

Time" wil be delivered of a child, and
its name will be "Civilization"-a civilization in fact, as well as in name;

I see a world where thrones have
crumbled and where kings are dust.
The aristoeraey of idleness has perished from the earth.
I see a world without a slave. Man
at last is free. Nature's forces have by
science been enslaved. Lightning and
light, wind and wave, frost and flame,
and all the secret subtle powers of earth
and air are the tireles toilers for the
human race.
I see a world at peace adorned with
every form of art, with music's myriad
voices thrilled, while lips are rich with
words of love and truth-a world in
whichno exile
sighs, no prisoner
mourns; a world on which no gibbet's
shadow falls; a world where labor reaps
its full reward; where work and worth
go hand in hand; where the poor girl
