The Open Shop.

Thgre are two classes in modern society—the capitalist class and the working class. The capitalist class gets together m the field of exploitation and at the ballot box, and thereby get S3 per cent, of the wealth, in spite of the fact that they do Tot produce any. The -working class have not yet got together sufficiently on the field of PRODUCTION nor at the ballot box, and therefore they only get 17 per cent, of the wealth they produce iti spite of the fact that they produce it ALL,. The capitalist class are trying to dis-

organise the working class still furthex , through the open shop, so that they may get 99 per oent. of the wealth and leave the working class 1 per cent. The purpose of the open shop is low ■wages, long hours, child slavery, dangerous factories, industrial war and murder. High cost of living and a general demoralisation and degeneration mentally and morally as well as politically of the masses of the people. I challenge any open shopper to> DENY it. —Murray Youtz.
