From the wounds produced by proletarian Sabotage only gold flows out. From those inflicted by capitalist Sabotage it is human blood which gushes out in streams. The Workers’ Sabotage is inspired by generous and altruistic principles. It is a shield of defense and protection against the usuries and vexations of the bosses ; it is the weapon of the disinherited, who, whilst he shuggles for his family’s existence and his own, aims also to better the social conditions of his class and to deliver it from the exploitation that strangles and crushes it. — Emile Pouget.
Commissioner Cullen is reported as saying that one mounted man is as good as a dozen on foot. Quite so; and on man on foot with a few bags of cayenne, or something more pungent, is equal to, say, half-a-dozen mounted men.
The Boss puts a belt round his belltopper and says “no hitting below the belt.” Sabotage knocks the belltopper flying and makes no apology. * * * * Sabotage and Solidarity can get back on the Boss for his damnable tactics of the past twelve months. Sabotage in any degree is doubly “justified” when little children’s and patient women’s future is at stake. * * * One Goldie, official of the exploiters’ Association, and “ Christian gentlemen,” expressed truly Christian sentiment when he said, in effect, that the strike in Huntlv would soon end by the storekeepers refusing credit. The justice of the men’s case does not prevent these hypocritical hellhounds from boasting of their power to stop the food supply of babies and women to drive men back to work.
