Fenelon Falls Branch Mm W The Worker a Machine. The laboring man has no time to be anything but a machineâ€"Thoreau. The worker is a machine. The function of the machine is to produce Wealth. In order to be kept in working condition, the machine is given a certain amount of care and foodâ€"cleaning, oiling, repairs. After the machine is worn out, it is thrown on the scrap heap as no longer of use. Ditto with the worker. The function of the worker is to . produce wealth; and, so far as wealth consists of exchange-values, labor pro- duces all wealth. The employer treats the worker as he treats a machine. The toiler receives a certain amount of “ oiling” in the form of wages; and these wages are only enough to keep the machine-man in condition to per- form his work, and reproduce his spe- cies. When'the worker is worn out; when his muscles become flabby and his mind dulled; when the energy of youth has been sapped by the life-des- troying industrial grind, then the worker is cast aside on to the scrap- heap of the unemployed. If a machine is invented more effi- cient than the one he may own, the employee invests in the more efiicient machineâ€"more efiicicnt in that it pro- du ces more cheaply or more abundant- ly; most oftenboth. And when the employer can secure, say, women and children, to work more cheaply than men,; he _ casts aside the male, and coins .the sweat and blood of women and children into profits. The Moloch of the ancient Carthaginians consumed fewer children than does the Civilized Beast of Capitalism. The machine is inanimate. Not so the worker. The worker feels this grind. The agony and despair of in- dustrial toil converts the men, women and children of the working class into Symbols of So'rrowâ€"“ old before their time.” After the day’s work is done, the machine rests. It “forgets” the incessant, racking toil. But that rack- ing, incessant toil is a Banquo’s ghost to the workereâ€"it will not “down.” It rises to destroy his recreation, and it drives him to drink. It haunts him in the dead of night. and conjures up the torture of the working day. “ The laboring man has no time to be anything but a machine.” Correct! The worker’s individuality is sup- pressed. There is nothing individual- ity-inspiring in working at a machine, in being a mere cog in the machinery of produCtion, and being treated as such. And when the worker goes home, his exhaustion prompts neither thought nor intellectual pleasure ; his system requires soothing. The moving picture show’s popularity is a brilliant flashlight on the ordinary condition, mental and physical, of the averag proletarian. Too tired to do anything â€"- really pleasurable, yet craving some kind of pleasure, the worker “ enjoys ” the soporific “ movies.” There is no sociologic reason for the continuance of this horrible state of things. \Vhy should men and women overwork themselves, when it has been scientifically ascertained that all the needs of humanity can be produced .with modern machinery by only three or four hours’ work in a day. \Vhy should man be the slave of the mach- ine? Why not have the machine lie-- come the slave of man, doing his bid-- ding and his work? All that is possi- ble. All that is needed is the sociali- zation of the machinery of production â€"â€"that the working class, through its industrial organization, shall take possession of the plants of production, and operate rationally and scientifical- ly for the benefit of all the workers. Thenâ€"â€" Starvation wages will no longer ex- ist. The workers shall receive the full social value of their labor. Inhumanly long hours of work shall be but a phantom of the past. Hours shall be as low as the improvements of machinery warrant. ' Industrial slave-driving, the grind that knows no mercy, shall be elimi- nated, and work become a pleasure. Children shall live their lives in peace and plenty, building up strong, healthy minds and bodies. And all the evils of modern society, directly traceable to economic exploit- ation and p0verty, shall be used but as goblins to frighten children and old women with. Life shall blossom forth into a- “thing of beauty and a joy forever.” r Socialism is the sun of the proleta- rian friture.+VVestei-n Clarion. â€"m -o Only One Way. Men desire to rule the laws that they may make the greatest possible inequality in their own favor. If they- gained nothing for themselves, why‘ should they bother about laws? Why are they making such a struggle to- day to control conventions and prima- ries, if not to get a whack at your pocket-book? \Vliy do rich men pay out millions to control elections? DO“ you think it is just for your good? They think no more of you than they do of cattle in the field. They know" that you are ignorant of human rights and they take advantage of your child- ish minds. There is only one way that you can protect yourself; that is, by studying these great subjects for your- self, and then getting your neighbors- to study them. If you do not know something about the matter you will not be able to see how your neighbor can help youâ€"how very necessary for ' you is your neighbor’s understanding. -â€"-â€"Appcal to Reason.
