  • Smoked out of Its Hole
    VOL. 7 , NO. 4 6 . NEW YOR K, WED NESD AY, AU G U ST 1 5 , 1 9 0 6 . ONE CENT . EDITORIAL SMOKED OUT OF ITS HOLE. By DANIEL DE LEON HE tri-State Labor demonstration arranged to take place in New Castle, Pa., on “Labor Day” under the auspices of the Industrial Workers of the TTT World, bids fair to be more than a flash in the pan. It bids fair to prove an unerring shot, a shot that hits the vitals of the combined powers that ride to-day upon the back of the Working Class. It bids, accordingly, fair to go far towards clarifying the vision of the wage slave masses of the land by enabling them to detect the nature of the combine that oppresses them. In the struggle, at present going on in the land, for organizing and drilling the Working Class, a certain cry has gone up intended and well calculated to confuse the masses. The cry is that the I.W.W. is a Union-wrecking scheme concocted in the interests of the capitalist class. That cry has gone up from the camp of craft Unionism. The proof of the pudding ever lies in the eating. If the I.W.W. is a “Union-wrecking scheme in the interest of the capitalist class,” then the spectacle should be seen of fraternal BENJAMIN HANFORD relations between the I.W.W. and the capitalist press, and, (1861–1910) at the same time, the reverse of fraternal relations between One of the “Socialist” Party luminaries who supported that same capitalist press and craft or A.F.

The SLP presented its first national ticket in 1892, featuring Simon Wing and Charles Matchett as candidates for President and Vice President respectively. Newspaper editor Daniel De Leon is credited with the expansion of the SLP in the United States by using his newspaper, The Weekly People, to reach a larger audience for the SLP’s ideas. In 1894, following De Leon’s lead, the SLP dedicated itself exclusively to its ideal of industrial democracy. In 1893, the SLP published a “Manifesto of the Socialist Labor Party of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts”.

SFNDHE successfully fought to include labor provisions that prioritize contingent faculty and tenure-track positions in the College for All bill--but there is still more to be done. LAWCHA members, as labor scholars, higher ed workers, and union organizers, have a vital role to play in this national agenda and the federal legislative battles ahead.

By DANIEL DE LEON E mortuis nil nisi bonum”—nothing but praise is in order concerning the dead—is one of those maxims which, while laying “““DDD claim to a high moral standard, actually subserve an immoral one. If death is a sanctifier, then death would be the worst scourge to afflict humanity. The evils done in life cold be fought; after death they could be fought no longer: they would have become sacrosanct. Infinitely wiser was the old Egyptian policy: death rolled back the curtain: the acts of the deceased were summoned to the bar of the conscience of the living. While all this is, true, this other is true also—death justly chasteneth criticism. While still alive, the deceased might have defended himself: once his lips are scaled in death, once his right arm lies inert, severity might partake of cowardice. A kick at the dead lion is proverbially the vulgar-craven donkey’s act. Obviously, duty to the living and charity for the dead dictate a course that avoids both extremes. This is all the more imperative when the duty to the living involves a great Cause in be behalf of which the deceased was a BENJAMIN HANFORD (1879-1910) struggler.

Debs, candidate of the Socialist Party for President, In- dianapolis, Ind., September 1, 1904. _ Mr. Chairman, Citizens and Comrades: There has never been a free people, a civil- ized nation, a real republic on this earth. Human society has always consisted of masters and slaves, and the slaves have aIways been and are today, the foundation stones of the social fabric. Wage-labor is but a name; wage-slavery is the fact. The twenty-five millions of wage-workers in the United States are twenty-five millions of twentieth century slaves. This is the plain meaning of what is known as The Labor Market. And the labor market follows the capitalist flag. The most barbarous fact in all Christendom is the labor market. The mere term sufficiently 3 4 THE SOCIALIST PARTY expresses the animalism of commercial CIVIL- ization. They who buy and they who sell in the labor market are alike dehumanized by the inhuman traffic in the brains and blood and bones of human beings. + The labor market is the foundation of so- called civilized society. Without these shambles, without this commerce in human life, this sacrifice of manhood and womanhood, this barter of babes, this sale of souls, the capitalist civilizations of all lands and all climes would crumble to ruin and perish from the earth.
