A stray spark, a burst of flame, and the new Iroquois Theatre in Chicago is transformed from a temple of merri. meat into a chamber of horrors. The fire demon rages for five minutes, and eleven hundred persons out of eighteen hundred, most of them women and children, are killed, injured or missing. The “ Black Hole of Calcutta" is e- clipsed by the '_‘ Black Hole of Chicago.” The responsibility for this wanton destruction of human life rests on every tncmber ol the human family who sup- ports the capitalist system, directly or indirectly. But the ruling class, who are the mniu beneficiaries of this sysâ€" tem and the main defendants in the case, will easily escape by the help 0 the public opinion which they mold to their hearts’ desire. Were it not for this counterfeit public opinion, the Iro; quois Theatre would never again open its doors to-nny merry crowd. It would "be draped in perpetual mourning. It would stand silent forever, at giant'warn- ing to the coming generations of the awâ€" ful sins .of a perverted social system. People would speak in solemn whispers when paSSing’ by it, think with bowed heads of the martyred lives, and send a wave of fervent sympathy to the grief~strioken survivors. And over its sealed portals would be'written : “ The Last Hecatomb 0; Capitalism.” It is an eruption of capitalism, but alas! not the last. Every circumstance that has come to light reveals but the grinning features of monstrous Greed. Long before the Iroquois Theatre open- ed its doors competent critics had der clared it to be unsafe. But the appoint- ed guardians of public safety had been lulled .to .sleep by thedope of gold. The theatre was built and operated for profit. Therefore the stage accessories were made of inflammable material in- stead of metal, as the law provides; the drop curtain. fire proof according to law. was made of. asbestos. But profit de- creed that it should be so flimsy .as to department. authorities. And. .chcap, contemptably cheap, was 40 then hu- man life. Every incident connected with this house,'even to-the ghouls who crowded into the smoking ruins. and in- to the jmot'cuesm cut-off the jewvlcd ' .ears and fingers ofthe victims-vice th) degenerate influence of a system that only knows one life purpoScâ€"Prrfit. ~ The-’wond'et- is'tliat‘ s'o' u'micli generous and heroic ‘work'was done, in spite of the debasinu influence of capitalism. I do not speak ofthosc business-men who donated vehicles, clothing, medicine and shelter. They will reimburse themselves easily, and their geueiosityloses much of its lustre when viewed; in..this light. But. the heroic men who risked life and" . limb to save others; the striking livery-- men Who sacrificed'their chances of Vic-- tory for the sake of helping: the-distress-~- cd, and the unselfish men and women ' .who- labored: for hours to resuscitate those who showed even thefaintest signs of lifeâ€"all these proved that human nature is inherently good, and will over- come even the sordid'linfluences of cap- italism. . . . The yellow press has found its sensa- tion and makes h'a'y while the sun shines. As to the victims of Mount 'Pele'e._ 80 death came 'to hundreds of the victims in the Iroquois Theatre be- fore thev fairly realized the situation. True, that does not make the situation any less ghastly. But why make so much of these victims? Hundreds of thousands of working men, women and children are year after year slowly tor- tured to death for profit, and‘no capi- talist paper protests. American citizens are driven into bull pens and herded until they die like cattle. and the capi- talist press says that it iswell. Skulls and bones are the basis of cap- italist society. And the rulers wave the starry banner over this vast cemete- ry and call it "Glorious prosperity ! ” And when Socialists cry out against this desecration of the dead, they are denounced as the “ Enemies of Socie- ty.” To be branded as an'coemy of f such a society is a. mark of honor. The Socialists alonccao lift up hands not steeped in this blood. .'l‘hcy have cried. out, as does now the lack [lobe of Chicago: “Capitalism is Guilty l ” The working class is the jury. At the ballot box they will sentence and excv cute the greatest criminal in the world’s - historyâ€"King Capital. ‘0' What They Seem to Like. Eighteen thousand railroad men have been laid. off by the roads entering in Chicago. The wages of 100.000 cot- ton mill operatives in New England have been reduced, and 150,000 etn- ployees in the Steel trust have been made to accept a cut in wages. Gee! how this prosperity docs prosper. Well, these workmen voted for just such a condition. - I really'hopc that. they are pleased with‘t’he results. In this coun- try everyman has a right to vote for what he wants. Whoop ’cm up for the same old parties this year, boys, and get some more of- the some old stuff. Your votes tell yourbosseh that you like to be wage slaves. and have your rations of shoddy and grub diminished. And your toasters can use this shaving to build up an aristocracy .Votc the old tickets boys; and Vote ’cm llill‘d.-:]Il8. be blown to atoms by the first gust of A_ Wayland, flames; profit is the cause that it could not be lowered without difficulty. The emergency doors of the auditorium and of the stage were locked. It Would have impaired profits-to hire men to watch the exits. ‘ ' I i The law provides that fly lofts, rig- ging lofts, railings and pulleys must. be made, of metal. Profit decided that they should be of wood in the Iroquois Theatre. .- Automatic sprinklers over and under the stage, and a fine pipe to prevent a draft from carrying fire into the audit. orium, are demanded by the law. Profit kept them out of the Iroquois -'l‘heatre. The law provides that theatres shall face upon three open spaces. Profit or- . .dered that the. Iroquois Theatre should face upon one open space only. No person shall ‘bc allowed in the aisles. says the law. Profit defied the law. built more seats than the building permit allowed, and“ crowded” hundreds of {lemons into the standingroom of the aisles. And profit also built the theatre 'on such a plan that little or no consid- eration was given to the possibility of . . _ p . .mxtlo all the tlttnktnz;.lt..’s.‘~ not likely thaa quickly dismissing a crowd. I Profit, prefit, and again profit, was the consideration most dearto the hearts of-tho- builders, of the proprietors, of the building inspectors and ofrthe fire .â€"_â€"â€". .. o~.â€"«-...-.~... â€"â€" A Timer Thought: A man whose cardinal goal in life is to make. money will steal. To such a .man stealing is a fine art. upon the possession of which talent he congratu- lates himself. Getting more than be- lonus’ to him he considers thrift; cans- ing one, man to fall that he may rise he considers self-prescrt‘ation. [Ic is not exactly a highanmanâ€"no. he lack-4 the criminal chivalry anduthe physical daring ofthztt class. of robbers.
