"There IS a way out of the economic chaos that surrounds us. To workers weary of the unfilled promises of politicians, embittered by the betrayals of two-faced labor-leaders into whose hands they have unwisely entrusted their fate, and sick with the experience of being pitted against each other by their craft unions in the great wage wars of this last year, the I. W. W. offers a simple program of rank-and-file industrial unionism whereby the working class can do for itself whatever it needs to have done."
