A Lesson.

What's a worker? A name registered in a book when it goes to work; a human being with labor power that is .used for the profit of his boss. _ W T hy does a worker work for a bossr' Because he has no land, machinery, or capital of his own; and believes he would lose his identity and incentive if he had them in common with other workers. . Then a worker is only another name for a "chump?" _ Not exactly. "Chumps" never learn; the worker does. He is trying to get rid of his delusion. He is kicking over the traces and going "sour" on the Arbitration Court. He is progressing. He is grasping the principles of industrial unionism and joining the JNew Zealand Federation of Labor.

Closing one's eyes to the need of a strong fighting weapon on the industrial field is the act of a coward.
