I.W.W.PreambleThe worlting etess and the employinJ class have nothing In

common. There can be no peace aa long as hunger and want are

found among millions of the working people and the few, "rho

make up the employing dass, have aU the good things of life.

Between these two cla88es B atruggle mWJt go on until theworkers of the world organize 88 a cla88, take po88e88ion of the

earth and Ole machinery of production, and abolish the wage

syatem.

We find that the centering of the management of 'i~dUBtriM

Into f~·er and fewer hands makes the trade union..!! unable totope with the ever growing power of the employing clau. _The

trade unionB foster -. state of affaln whk:h aDowa one set ofworkers to be pitted against another Bet of worken in the sameIndutry, thereby helping to defeat one another in wage wan.

Moreonr, the trade unions aid the employing class to miRlead

the workel1l Into the belief that the working daas have interestsin common with their employers.

These condltionll can be changed and the Interest of the

working class upheld only by an organization formed In such away that aU ita members in anyone industry, or in all indUBtriesif necessary, cease work whenever a strike or lockout 1.8 on in any

department thereof, thus making an injury to one an Injury to all

Instead .of the oonsenative motto, "A fair day's wage for afair day's wnrk," we must inscribe on our banner Ute revolution­ary watchword, "Abolition of the w..ge lyBtem."

It is the historic mission of the working daBs to do away with

capitalism: The anny of production must be organized, not only

for the e"'eryday st ru ggle with capltallsta, but al80 to carry onproduction when capitalism AhaJ) have been overthrown. By oe­

ganizing indUBtriaUy we are fonning the HUucture of th e new

_ Iety within the she" ofthe old.
