DIRECT ACTION

Direct action, or attempts to bring about changes by force are the direct ! result of there being no other means available, and if the Socialist Party of America, or any other radical Labor party, is precluded from having their candidates elected, or unseated after they arc elected, by the legislative body which largely represents the vested interests, then the workers would have no other ..weapon than direct action, and all (he laws passed, and all the courts, could not prevent the workers taking the only method left (o them to bring about those: changes which the development of society demands, and which must be made, or the people perish. These changes will be brought about, not i because a few Socialists^ predict, that they must and will be made, but because of the evolution that is taking place in the methods of production, and which must of necessity bring about political changes, and eventually the downfall of capitalism, and the establishment of the new order based on production for use.—B. C. Federalionist.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 98.81%.
