"The strength of the working class
is organization.
Without organization of the masses,
the proletariat is nothing.
Organized, it is everything.
Being organized
means unity of action,
the unity of pratical activity."
(Lénine, 1907 )

"We haven't had any thieves before."
The Manager.
"Thief!"
Thief...
"Comrades,
the boss accused me of the theft.
I'm not guilty

to the end."
The stockholders.
"I'll read them."

On the prowl.
The Owl sees by day as well.
"Having reviewed, with the utmost care,
the workers' demands
the administration
considers them impractical
for the following reasons:
1) The eight hour work day
is completely illegal
2) The wage increase...
4) A correct attitude.
At a prearranged place.
A civil manner
from the administration is recommended
only if the workers submit unconditionally.

4 to 6 years of hard labor

Tough sorts.
"I need five unscrupulous men."
They're ALL without conscience!
Down to "business".
The Monkey works in wholesale,
the Owl in retail.
Pass it on.
The war council.
Liquor store.
From a meeting.
At "work".
Worming their way in...
SMASH IT!
The "King's" boys go into action.
"It's provocation.
Call out the firemen.
Press the button. Wait for the firemen.
Stop gossiping and guard the fire alarm or they will foil the plan.
"Comrades, follow me!"
"They want to buy us with vodka!-
Don't be provoked!"
