“The Capitalist Class” by Rudyard Kipling, Music by Franz Beidel
From The Progressive Woman of March 1910:
THE CAPITALIST CLASS
There was some question for a time as to whether Kipling was the author of the poem “The Capitalist Class.” We believe the controversy has settled the authorship in his favor. Comrade Franz Beidel, of Chicago, has written some music to Kipling’s words, thus making one of the most beautiful and effective songs in our revolutionary music. We are glad to give you the music, which is published here for the first time. If there are any who do not care for a minor strain, we would suggest that they change the key to G major, as it is very effective sung this way.

Then if blood be the price of all your wealth,
Good God! We have paid it in full.
