WOULD YOU GIVE TEN CENTS TO MAKE A SOCIALIST?
Well, Here's a Plan That Promises Well.
We want every person who reads this notice to send 10 cents to
the Washington Socialist by return mail, along with the name and ad
dress of some friend or neighbor. And we will send him or her a copy
of the Washington Socialist for one month, chock full of absolutely
convincing Socialist propagana. By the end of the month your friend
or neighbor will be interested sufficiently to pay for a year's sub
scription on his own account, which seals his doom as an old party
voter, and your Socialist is made —all for ten cents!
Will you not send it in right now?
To the Washington Socialist Publishing Co., 1612 California

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
There Is at present great activity on
the part of the unions and sympathiz
ers In an effort to secure the enact
ment of an eight-hour law.
Such activity is commendable, and
will receive the undivided support of!
all Socialists. It Is in fact one of the
most important "immediate demands"
in our party platform. Nevertheless,
it would be criminal if we should neg
lect calling attention to certain very
important factors involved. After
years of strenuous effort on the part
of the workers, an eight-hour law for
I women was enacted; and, for a time
- the workers for the eight-hour day
were ready to fall upon the necks of
5 "our" legislators in an excess of joy.
Is Now, they are ready to fall upon their,
f necks —with an axe. The law has
\ been found to be full of "jokers," and.
'y is calculated to cause, unthinking per
£ sons, women especially, to become dis
£ gusted with the; eight-hour day, and
>> clamor for its abolition.
; To those who KNOW, it would be a
£ matter of wonder if ANY law purport
•> ing to be in the Interests of labor, DID 1
;. NOT contain "jokers."
X Those who frame such laws are the
" paid agents of the capitalist class, and
y the law is enacted for no other purpose
I than that of temporarily FOOLING the
'y workers. They simply practice a bit
I of political sabotage.
I Any LABOR LAW, to be really bene
y ficial, will have to be drafted by a
'•/ CLASS-CONSCIOUS WORKER, and
will have to be enacted by B leglllft
\ ture composed of that class which will
• benefit by such a law—the working
class.
Even if such a law is enacted by
\ direct vote of the people, via the refer-
Mendum route; it will never be tatlffac
■ torlly enforced until the executive and
judicial officers are filled with clans
coniciouß workera. a. material, i>e-
CUllar to the Socialist party, and found
in no other political organization,
The people of Colorado, hy forty
thousand majority, voted for :ui eight
bour law; but, because they neglected
to place the enforcement of the law
1 in the bands of those t<> be materially
. benefited liy it, it was not enforced,
| and was the cause of that bitter civil
' war which culminated jm the arrest,
and trial of Moyer, llaywood and Petti
: bone.
While it is perhaps true that a tlior
-1 oiikli organization of all workers into
i one bif< union could have forced the'
, masters to abserve the eight hour law,
it is equally Lrn<" 'hat if Ihe i ■■.•uiivc
officials of Colorado bad been class
conscious working men, the military
power of the state would not have been'
used for the ai Urs and against the!
workers. Would, united, have been!
used in quite th vi ree way, hod oc
cassion required,
Let us make ■ ■ mistakes in this mat
ter, It is useli ss '•> depend upon the
"friends of labor' for the passage or
enforci ment of «uiy kind of law in
favor of labor. Labor has no friends —
no friends except Itself.
A class-conscious Socialist working
man or woman Is the only real wise
friend which labor has. Beware of
Imitations.

A WELCOME VISITOR.
Among the callers at the office of
The Washington Socialist this week
; was S. S. Crosby, well known to the
Everett Socialists, who was in town to
visit his brother, v. G. Crosby, of the
' Washington Socialist. Comrade Cros
by is also looking for a master, and
does not know where he will locate.
THIS MEANS YOU.
Now what we want to know Is, do
1 you really want to better the Intoler
able conditions under which you live?
! Do you know why such a vast majority
'of people submit uncomplainingly to
conditions that a savage would revolt
j against? Well now, read this careful
ly. The worker of today, like his an
cestor, the serf and chattle slave of
the past, has been hypnotized. He has
1 been told that, ho Is free, that he is an
' uncrowned king, a voting sovereign,
the silent partner of his big brother,
the capitalist, etc.
Of course you know better, but you
■ will have to submit to the same treat
' ment that your hypnotized brother
does until the spell is broken. The
question is, how to break the spell.
That is easy. Give him a home
' remedy. Get him to subscribe for the
1 Commonwealth. We'll transform him
I from a humble Slavs Into a stand-up
straight revolutionist. Try it; get him
to subscribe at once.
A capable woman has been named
for a $7,500 position by Mayor Mitchel
'of New York. Perhaps one reason so
I many men are averse to letting women
vote is that they are qualifying so fast
for the big jobs.—Baltimore American.

ANTI-WAR RESOLUTION
PASSED BY LOCAL
ARLINGTON.
Resolved, by Local Arlington, that
we have no property interests in Mex
ico which need protecting. If others
have, it is their affair, and it is cer
tainly not up to us or to the working j
people of the United States to go to|
war to protect the property interests of
others; and this especially true in
the present instance where, as we are
Informed and verily believe, the al
leged property interests in jeopardy
are owned by the very trust magnates
who are most oppressive to the work
ingmen of this country. So far as the
protection of the lives and liberty of
Americans in Mexico is concerned, it
appear! that the Mexican government
and our own have warned all Ameri
cans of the danger of remaining there.
If after this Americans choose to re
main there it certainly should be at
their own peril. ]f after due warning,
Americans choose to stay and demand
our protection, the American irrespon
sible adventurers and filibusters can
always keep this country in foreign
turmoil. We are opposed to such pre
cedent. Therefore, we insist that we
have not a man or a dollar for a Mexi
can war.
But, resolved, that nothing herein
shall be construed as intended to dis
courage these "undesirable citizens"
of this country who are oppressing
American workers, who have invested
their surplus wealth in that unhappy
country and who are now most anxious
for intervention in Mexico, from go
ing there and enlisting on the firing,
line and spilling their blood to their
heart's content in battle with each
other or with the capitalists of Eu
rope.
