﻿All due credit to Franklin. (I admire his enterprise)—he saved million men from suicide. And he did it with less the five fishes. 
Gladly would I call this anything but slavery but I cannot do so and stick to truth. Industrial autocracy precompels precise obedience. Obedience is subordination of ones volition and if that isn’t slavery, then I’m—that’s what I am. 
The governmental white washing of industrial autocracy by regulation leaves things spotty and when we consider that industrial autocrats propose the code, and government accepts the code, we are left uncertain as to what extent government was intimidated. 
I am not in favor of cutting wages but I do believe the people should get as much pay as their servants (the cops for instance, and judges, and governors, and game wardens). 
Now don’t bring up the matter of brains. Brains has not functioned, are not demonstrated now or in the past, legally or illegally, in the prevention or cure of this depression and if brains don’t show soon the people will demonstrate their qualifications for equal pay with their servants. People is the only Boss that has to Beg. 
I suggest they send their servants out for reliefs—and they better not come back empty handed. (Friendly advice). 
I’d like to ask congress—did you not watch the industrial autocrats destroy the nation’s buying power and wreck the nation beginning 1901-1902? If so, tell me what was you paid for? 
It is here presumed people do rule and, if so, many of them rule for a dollar a day—and less. Many stick their face out to rule belly full of diluted broth. Such rule makes for cheap government. Cheap government makes for shoddy government. And shdduy government is soon on its uppers. Let us accept Lincoln’s word for it, “government of the people, by the people, for the people” and that these rulers rate better than a bowl of soup. 
Wrongful practice is exemplified in “restraint of trade” acts. These acts are the ghost of the practices in commercial world now going on for last 37 years; nothing new: an ambitious wight sets himself up in business: he is not interfered with in any way except that he is ganged-up upon and sabotaged, out—this is the source of these acts and going strong muchly to the embarrassment of the nation. It is deliberate destruction of nation’s substance and creation of failures in the persons of the new competitive talent. 
And those are the people that are going to save the working class? 
I’m in a heluva fix, if I should die now, the city ain’t got no money to bury me. Something’s gotta be done about this, betcher—now a chunk of boloney right now might stave this experience off the city and tide her over the economic low as the financial bullslingers have it. If we all lend a hand, put our tongue under out belt and shoulder to the wheel the good ship will slide over the bar and never scratch a plate. 
It is believed Boulder Dam would look better if the One Big Union finished it—so would the New Orleans bridge. 
All is vanity—except ,the one big union. (It’s all coming out now). Brotherhood of Baldheaded Batchelors is all in vain—lost in a tornado of flying fur. 
Amalgamated Alliance of Able-Bodied Alchemists are shaking the gold from their teeth and trading it for hot dogs. Hot Dog!! Eh! Golgonda? Honorable Hegira of Henpecked Husbands had their fumiture thrown out—Head-Honus of the House-Hounds is Parked on the Piano. 
Gentle Generals, of the Gee Gosh Gabslingers are gagged. 
Pulchritudinous Pennyante – Pollyannas of Political Polecats are up in a tree.—Wirehaired Warthogs Watch the Wair. 
Tranquil Transient of the Transition Tabernacle forgot to pull the cord and the parachute—well it simply didn’t, that’s that. 
Sonorous Soup Suckers Succor Society went on diet of solids without the solids. 
Associated Apiary of Ailing Angels hit the street with a bang like muffled drum. 
Gastronomic Galahads of Galvanic Guts grew peeked and began to palaver pale. 
Odoriferous Officers Onorary opulence Org pined and pulled a pin. 
Scintillating Society of Suitable Substitutes didn’t throw a spark. 
It’s kind of nice to have an IWW to go to when all these fail—the One Big Union.
