When Contentment is a Crime by Ty Bishop Brown
The Wanderer of The Pittsburg Dispatch asks if contentment is a vice or virtue. The answer argues orthodox religious virtue as resignation to a god’s will, while equating celestial gods with Capitalism, which divides society into owners and workers. Contentment by a victim becomes a crime under capitalism.

Unemployment and the capitalist crisis stance
A stark critique of capitalism as bankrupt and unable to employ all workers. The writer argues unemployment fuels profits, urges direct action inspired by international workers, and condemns reformers while detailing how delayed demand, cycles of overproduction, and wars sustain wage suppression across nations. The piece closes by linking strikes in Mexico and global labor betrayals to a broader fight for workers power.

Two Quotations and Some BCs Coerced Numbers and Class Warfare
A fragment from a 1920 era pamphlet quoted in a newspaper page discusses stark social contrasts in New York City and the United States. It cites poverty and malnutrition among city children, vast government expenditures abroad, wage-based death rates, coal pricing, and calls for organized labor to overthrow capitalism. It references WU census figures, New York Times pieces, and Gompers, urging workers to unite with European colleagues toward a cooperative commonwealth.
