he industries now in the hands of
national, state and municipal governments would be given over
completely into the care of the workers engaged in them.... With
war, crime, class antagonisms and property squabbles obliterated,
and the management of industry taken from its care, little or no
excuse would exist for government."

The November 8, 1919, report of the Senate Committee on Education and
Labor, in its investigation of the nation-wide steel strike, commented
as follows on Foster:

"Such men are dangerous to the country and they are dangerous to
the cause of union labor. It is unfair to men who may be struggling
for their rights to be represented by such leaders. It prevents
them from securing proper hearing for their cause. If Mr. Foster
has the real interest of the laboring man at heart he should remove
himself from any leadership. His leadership injures instead of
helping. If he will not remove himself from leadership the American
Federation of Labor should purge itself of such leadership in order
to sustain the confidence which the country has had in it under the
leadership of Mr. Gompers."

ENLISTING RECRUITS FOR THE CONSPIRACY

The success or failure of the Marxian movement will, to a great extent,
depend upon the ability of the revolutionists to gain control of the
schools, colleges and universities of the United States. That they have
been long active in spreading their pernicious doctrines among the young
is evident to all who are closely in touch with Socialist activities.

In our country there exist what are known as Socialist Sunday schools.
The revolutionists themselves tell us that the aim and purpose of these
schools is the destructive work of tearing down old superstitious ideas
of territorial patriotism, and that such schools should be founded in as
many places as possible, to counteract the influences of churches,
synagogues and public schools.

Page 68 of the "Proceedings of the 1910 National Congress of the
Socialist Party," clearly indicates the exceptional importance which
Marxians attach to their training of the young:

"Among the special fields of Socialistic propaganda the education
of our boys and girls to an understanding of the Socialist
philosophy is one of the most important. The ultimate battles of
Socialism will largely be fought by the growing generation,
