﻿This Is Supposed to be Extraspecial— 
Times are different for the individual who isn’t carrying a subsidy—and even for those, since the subsidy will cease to be. Prepare for the wors. 
Times are difficult for those in office even with all the resources of the producing class at hand and behind them—this is a penalty they must pay for erratic use of thinking-power; failure to utilize the powers of the workingclass to fullest or any extent! the power unlimited. 
No lasting “peace” can be built except i[unclear] be premised and specifically based actually upon factual freedom in its maximum possibility or horse power, and this must include such minor phenomens as political, religious and industrial freedom—other freedoms come under these heads and these, themselves, come under head of social freedom full and flourishing. 
Now it happens industrial freedom is of importance in this highly developed country and all other freedoms are contingent upon it; no freedom can rise but to fall without industrial freedom and the lenghth of time they stand I determined by the degree of industrial freedom extant, the amount of industrial democracy present. (Industrial freedoms poetic name is economic security).  
Highly developed industrialization is coparatlvely new in this world and hence it is society is caught “unawares and old time-worn unionism’s and political nostrums cannot remove the rheumatism from depression—or activate the new found stagnation, number thirteen. 
A new condition, regardless of its number in order, requires a remedy not yet tried. 
Even as the progress of society in the arts of horti and agriculture, pottery and seine-fishing, requisitioned modified freedom in politics even so development in the mechanical field demands industrial freedom—or “no count.” In fact industrial development in the factor that “spilled the beans” and made it plain political freedom freedom of speech, press and pulpit are freedom in name only without INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM. 
Seek ye then industrial freedom and all things shall be given thee. 
The fostering of these other freedoms is like pulling the blanket around your ears and letting your bare rump gleam in the frosts of disappointment. All failures of the past, empires political, religious, financial and industrial owe their downfall to their refusal to give consideration to the demands of the times and to this stubborn child “development.” 
They failed to progress with progress and, in additions, fought shy of the Arcadia—where all their blessing lay—industrial freedom. (Not even industrial democracy, a modified freedom.) 
They were, and are today, crazy. 
Industrial Workers of the World is the ONLY agency that can establish industrial freedom or industrial democracy. 
Put that in your pipe. 
Come out of the skies!—get down here where the dirt is!—Unorganized men shall not enter the kingdom of Heaven; the devil don’t want ‘em—they are out of luck like a man without a village under Hoover’s adminisarrangement: 
Where do you live?— 
“In United States of America.”— 
Where in United States? 
“In all of it.”— 
In what state? 
“All of ‘em—since Herbert went in I need all of ‘em; in order to make a living.—If I can’t eat in Chicago I can always go to Milwaukee.”— 
You’re hopeless! We can’t do anything for you.— 
“I on don’t have to so long as I’ve got United States.”— 
Say, editor, what are they trying to do, subdivide United States of America—man would be out of luck if he happened to draw the Everglades, or Mojave Desert—to say nothing of Carolina’s Dismal Swamp. 
T—bone Slim.
