It is an ticipated that within 10 lays after the miners quit work every industry will begin to feel the scarcity of oail. Men in touch with the coal situation here assert that Pittsburgh will be the center of the most important dis trict in the strike, since the notorious scab fields of Westmoreland and Somerset counties are close at halld.

In declaring the lockout the employers told the employes that they could have the choice of joining the union and losing their jobs or quitting tli union and retaining their jobs. The men joined the un ion. Because of the fact that the un ion is n11w, the members are not strong financially, but despite this condition, all are determined to fight to a finish.

Class War in Italy Iv 1IIIAM 1 L M l)li llWELTL in te L o ib rIl. I reached Milan on the day of the international strike. after a week's mad dash across the continent from London. Dashing across the contin nent in these days means standing first on one foot and then on the other in stuffy consulates and ticket offices. waiting to collect some doz ens of the very official stamps and counter-signatures which are sup posed to protect governmentsi from nameless perils. It is a half week's work to get free of all the invisible silken threads that males traveling an agony. And it is another half week's work to conquer the disorganization of the French public servicee. The Gare de Lyons is a jungle. The whole mechanics of travel seem to have been smashed. The only way to find out a)out a train i.a to consult a fortnle teller. The Italian authorities, too. are ex cessively l nervous and elaborately ca.ntions and inefficient. At the hor der they insisted on knowing the middle name of my father (he hasn't any) but overlooked the fact that t had no right to enter It:ly by that route. So I arrived in Milan only on the day of the strike. And I arrived with nmy head full of the notion that the strike wasn't going to happen. Tihe word to this effect had been indns trioilsly disseminated in Paris. prohb ably further to discourage the lFrench workers, already crushed by the 11th hour treachery of their leaders. Even the correspiondent of a labor paper had told me that the strike in Italy had been called off. In Swilzierland the papers weret full of the indignant protest( o:' the Italian workers: against the insane schemes of a few labor politicians. Everywhere the workers were refusing to down tools and (this mnucb, at least. was trui) the strike committee of the railroad workirs had renounoced the demlon :tiration at the last minute. But the railway station of Milan was strangely quiet. A few lonely persons were wandering about. h asked for a newspaper. Nothing butI yesterday morning's. I stepepd out-I side. There were no taxis.

"Molto forte! Very strong!" Thltn my friend's bouauacy left him, and he asked why the French workers had deserted heir Italian comrades--why the Confederation Generale du Travail had called off the strike. I didn't Iknow. No one in Paris had seemned to know what had happened in those 4O minutes while Clemnenceau was talking be hind closed doors to .lihltux and the administrative council of the con federation, I could only express my belief that governmental benefits of some kind would ,:'iro'ently accrue to thor,:e leaders who ha:( changed their minds at the critical moment. and my conviction that the French workers regarded whtt had been done as an act of treaclcc-ry. W\Vhen I tried to enter tile office of "'Avaiti" I was stop~led by guards. Not by the soldiers -they were .luooping half a block away but by two youths who had bhen sitting on the balustrade by the canal in front of the door keeping watch. Who was I? Whom did I want to see? What was my business, anyway? They were u........o,, but Ve., o t'iry lln11. I went through a lone cross-oxamina tion in the outer oftfiI., and it was not until my impressive documeints had been examined car.efully that I was allowed to enter. "Avanti," of course. was lnot print ing. The strike would not be. over. and the linotypes would not com mence work, until midnight. They showed me over the office, which the Arditi had burned on the night of April 15. Walls and doorsills were still scarred and black. Fre.sh paint covered the worst of the damage. Some of the rooms were not even yet restored. The office was not quite at .its ease. Something of the kind might happen again today. There was a distant noise ci' shouting out side. An assistant went, to the win dow and very cautiously peered out. Then he closed the shutters of one window after another with great care, and, calling one of the volun teer guards, dispatched him to find out what the trouble was. Presently the scout came back, to report that two Arditi had been threotening to ehoot up the city hall, and its socialist officials. But nothing bad happened, illn fact, nothing had happened all day. The strike conmmittee had urged the strictest proletarian discipline and the strike conmmittee was being obeyed to the letter. There was little news from the provinces, because telerilIns were few. It agpeared that although the keymen of the telegraphs had stayed at work, the lower personnel had I obeyed the order of their union, de Sifying the government threats of per mIanent dismissal. Tile salie was trlue of tile posts. The office lmen were at work, blint no letters were being de livered. The only newspaper puh lished in Milan, the official Builletin of the General Strike.," edited by the Istrike committee, told of the general stoppage of work in mnost of the Itar bors of north lialy. As for central Italy, no one coult risk a guess. The workers werie not so well organized there, and no one could tell what ef fect the news from France might have htad. But as for Milan iLtself, the strike was complete. Not a tramcalrle. not a f:vaory large or small. was being op orated. niot a single large shop. save those expressly excepted by the strike colinlittee. In some of the factories tile lmornini whistles had blown, but 1!1 one had aplpeared. Concerning the railroad workers reports were not yet clear. It seoned certain that the technical inen---the c.ngineers, firemien and trainlllen-- had not struck. It was equally cer tiinl that thle comuimon workers in north and not hwest italy had gone oiut in large numtibers. Passenger trains had run pretty nearly on schcld ule. Tile, freight traffic had been crippled or held tip ultogether. In the Turin district 60 per cent of the total employes had quit. The rail'road wor'krs' union itself was a symbol of the difficulties which any nass mnovelllment of the workers Imust encounter. It was revolutiotnary yes. Yet it had renounced the strike in the last dlays, about 24 hours be fore the action of the C. G. T. The strike union co.tlnlittee had thelre upon been dismissed by an angry mass l1eetling of tlh Turin workers and a provisional committee appoint ed in its place to call the strike into Ibeing again. But thlis last call went out too late. The workers were mysti fied. They were intimidated by ar ticle 56 of the national railroad regn lations, which establishes permanent dismissal as thle penally for striking. They were disciouraged by the procla mation of tihe French C. G. T.

But there was no strike. From southern Italy nothing had been expected, for there the organization of labor has made little headway. But from France, which had once held out such promise, the news was as bad as possible. Few, if any, of the Paris workers had disregarded the order of the C. G. T. From England there was as yet no news. But Norway had struck. Berlin and Essen had struck. Vienna was completely paralyzed. In the office of "Avanti." that night. I was in the physical heart of a great international experiment. It was an attempt to give body to the dream which socialists have cherished for decades---that the workers of tlhe world shall make a covenant of their brotherhood and declare their wil' to love when they are commanded to hate. From Italy caine the impulse toward the strike. The heart of the Italian labor movement is "Avanti." And the soul of "Avanti" is Serrati who writes a.s he thinks with large simple. relentless thoughts. We were surveying now the resultr of the experiment. England. it was to be inferred, though she had not promised much, had kept her word France had broken her word for a mess of Clemenceau's promises. The bankers of Paris were laughing at the gullibility of the workers. The Ger man independents, with that marvel Ious patience of theirs. had once more laid down their tools and gone out on the streets to face Noske's mnachine guns. Even Norway had responded to an invitation she had never re ceived. And Italy, in spite of bWows and discouragenments, had stood firm wherever her working class was or ganized for revolution. Yet the international strike had been a failure--this time. The chain which was to have Tound the interna lionel proletariat had been broken, and broken not even by force, but by trickher For the present, proletari an internationalism was not yet in existence--in western Europe. But in the seat! There, in Russia, where soldiers of 20 nations are fighting the battles of the proletariat, it is not an experiment, it is a fact. And I think the strike committee that night had in its mind one thought: from now on, we Italians must look to Moscow, and let the French free themselves from their own illusions as they can. Serrati wrote the next day in his leader: "The final experiment has proved that it is time wasted to try to galvanize a corpse (he is speaking of the bureaucracy of the C. G. T., rather than of its membershipl). The French proletariat, which has a so "ianistic revolutionary spirit, knows from now on where it must place its faith, if it is to defend its own in BAll IS WANTED WITHOUT AI FOR THE MEN WHO ARE IN JAIL Hundreds of workers are literally rotting in the jails of this country because of their activihy in the cause of Labor. Many of these victims of the world-wide class war are awating trial--and have been waiting for mniny weary months for the speedy trial guaranteed them by the United States Constitution. Others were tried and sentenced to terms ranging from one to twenty years during the period of war hysteria. and appeals in their cases are now being taken from King Capital drunk t.o King Capital sober. Some of the prisoners have escaped by death, others are dying, mans have contracted tuberculosis and other loathsome diseases, and all are suffering untold agony from close confinement in the fetid atmospkhere from insanitary and unhealthy surroundings, from poor and insufficient food, atnd from inhuman treatment accorded them by brutalized guards. Past attempts to secure bail for all of these workers in jail have not been attellnded with great success because of the lack of system. In dividuals sought to secure bail for their personal friends, and failing to gel the Iecessary amount they returned what had been collected, thus making their entire efforts fruitless. This was the condition facing the delegates from all the western (tistrict organizations of the Industrial Workers of the VWorld when they met in conference on July 3 and 4 in Seattle. The delegates solved the problem by an unfailing means Organization. A Bail and Bond Committee was elected to systematize the work of collecting bail and a nalion-wide drive has been started to secure the loan of cash, Liberty Bonds and property sufficient to gain the release of all class war prisoners. With practically no advertising Six Thou sand Dollars were raised in the first five days. More than Two -IHun dred Thousand l)ollars are needed to release those now being held for their Labor activity. Sums of Five l)ollars and up are accepted as loans, and all cash, Lib erty Bonds or property is tabulated in triplicate, one copy going to the person making the loan, another heing retained by the Bail and Bond Committee, and the third being filed with the Trades Union Savings and Loan Association of Seattle, with whom all funds, bonds and prop erty schedules will be banked. Only those who have been proved loyal and trustworthy are being sent out as collectors. Everything possible has been done to safeguard this bail and bond fund, from the selection of the committee to the choice of the bank. A portion of the fund is being set aside to return loans on demand in case persons who have made them are forced to leave the country or have other reasons for making a withdrawal. Bail will be used to release specified persons where that is desired, but otherwise lIhe release will take place by a biimid drawing of names, thus insurinmg fairniess to all prisoners. By comrmon consent the men in Wichita, Kansas. jail will first be released, as they have been held the longest and jail conditions are worse there than anywhere else in the entire (ounitry. This bail has nearly all been subscribed, and the men will be made accredited (.ldlectors when released, and their speedy release will help to set others at liberty. No necessity exists for argument. Your duty is clear. If your ears are not (leaf to a call from your class, if you feel that an injury to one is an injury to all, if there burns within you the faintest spark of human ity, you will see that the mtn do not remain behind the bars an un necessary minute because you withheld your support. THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR YOU! ARE YOU WILLING TO LOAN YOUR DOLLARS TO THEM? Send all cash, checks and honds to John L. Enndmhi.

A failure, then-a magnificent anilure. Yet for the Italians it was 'not a failure. It showed them their own olidarity. and it showed them whom hey could trust and whom they must -uspect. Within Italy. from every point of view, the strike was a nota ble success. However, it is the correct think to day, in the Galleries, to speak of the -trike as a "fiasco." The bourgeois papers are devoting whole pages to proving that it is not worth mention ing. And I suspect that the same yarn is being repeated abroad. For good reasons. The correspnd ant of a great daily newspaper hasl just been saying to me: "So you have come to write about labor in Italy. It is a great fie'd. And you will have it all to yourself. Our papers simply won't touch it. There is no use in our sending it. Each one of the big papers is controlled by some big business house and the news desk censors all material according to orders. There is no longer any such thing as the freedom of the press." I thought of the young man who had come down from the country "to make an honest living on Wall Street," and of the encouragement given him by an old banker, who assured him that he wouldn't have any competition. In reporting that the Italian strike was a success I ex pect to have no competition. NEW YORK CITY (Continued From Page Une.l All attempts to start were an utter tailure.-H. W. Raisse.

The A. B. C. of the Plumb Plan What Is the Plumb Plan? It is a pIlan for thte public ownership and the deirocraiy in the control of the railroads. Who Has Endorsed it? The two iillion organized railroad employes of America; and the Amer ican Federation of Labor, ol;'roving the plil'iple of government owiner ship, has inlIstru(ted its executitvie ('Olllltnitee to co-operalte withl the officers of the railroad internationals in their elffort. It aso has been endorsed by s t;everal farmnrs' orgalnizlations. How Does It Propose to Buy the Roads? By issuing government bonds with which to pay for the legitimate pri vate interests in the railroad industry. How Does It Propose to Operate the Roads? Bly a board of 15 dircetors. five named by the president, to represent the public; five elcted by the operallitg officers; fi\e elected by the classi tied employes. Does This Mean Government Operation? No; it is operation by a board in which those having the reslonsibil it have also tile a llltorty. It is supelrior to governm'ent operation because it prevents coltlrol bty anll inefficient Irllreallcracy: and is trle democracy since it gives the uieti engatged in the inldustry a voice ill its llanagemlent. A What Becomes of the Surplus? After operating expenses are paid, and fixed clharges are met, including the interest O on otstanding governllent securities, the surplus is divided equltlly between the governmellnt and thlie ien. 'Tiw employes' portion is to be divided between the illaiagerial and classified n1iplloyes, the forlmer roeti\iing doulie trite rate received by the latter cla:as. This is lnot a profit sillce the corporation has ino capil;i. \\'hat the nitnI receive is a dividend on efficiency. Is This a Bonus System? No, it is giving those who increase production a share of the resulIts their increased effort has produced; and this share is theirs for as long as they are actually inll the service, and .is not forfeitable. Why Do Operating Officials Receive the Larger Rate of Dividend. Because it serves as a greater stimulus to the group with the most re sponsibility. And since the operating officials would lose dividends if wages were increased it acts automatically to prevent collusion between labor directors and the operating directors to outvote tle the public's directors in raising wages beyond a reasonable level. The chief argument against the plan is that the public loses control of its own property, and that the nlell in clltarge cannolllt Ibe prevented fromn colnbinillg to pay Ihemselves ex tortionate wages. This method of sharing dividends sets up a natural bar rier against collusion. Is This the Only Protection for the Public? No. the rate-mnakitg power remains with the interstate commerce com mission, and if wages were raised so high that rates hand to be increased, the commission could refuse to change theml, and shippers might appeal to the courts for redress. If the operation by the directors results in a de ficit, congress can revoke their charter. Does This Difference in Dividends Create Hostility Between Officials and Men? No, because withoutt hlarlmony between them neither grotlp can earn dividends. An official in working for his own dividend is working for the dividend of his subordinates, for ono cannllOt gainl unless all gain. Does the Plan Assure a Decrease in Rates? It provides that when thile governll'n1 t's sliare of thie surplus is 5 per celnt or ltore of thile gross oIperating rev'enue, rates shall be reduced alccord illgly to absorb th( anlounllt the government receives. For insta.nce: If the entire surpluls one yoear is $500,0t01,00(1, and this is 10 per cent of the gross olperating revenuel, the govornmllaent receives $250,000.00 And lbe cause this is 5 iper cen't. rates are decre:ased 5 1per cent. See what follows: Without new 1conomies or' 111ew businaess the profits the next year would be only $250,000.i010, and the employes and the governlment would re c ive onlly half the amollntl of the year .before. But decreased rates mlleat more business; and, also, theli reducttiol in, dividends would stimulate the ei ployes to intl)rove their operation byi applying hoetter methods. So the tend1nce11y is to iassure ctonstantly dccresing rates, to add to the volume of bulsintess, illd (to give tho lmlost 'ff'icielit service hllullan ingenuity and de votion a provide. l)ocreased rates I.lean c'heaper colImmIdities; and so, through lthe efitectieneIss of the railroads, the purchasing power of oIImoney is illncreased. not only for the railroad lIlan, but for every wage earner and (Cvery purcthaser. iWihat Does the Government Do With its Share of the Surplus? It invests it ill ipllllro'veiellts and e:xteolnsions, thllus adding to the value 'of the Irailroads withllout addling to the fixed clharges. It retires the out standing bonds, thus reducing the fixed cllharges. Ultimately the public has its railroad service lit cost. Does the Government Pay for All Extensions. No. tilhe comninity benefited must Uay if it can; if it is alble to pay all, the building of the extension is obligatory. If it. only pays part, the gov crnmellnt pay:l the reeil'Orlitl, iblt ontly nmaltes the extension as it deelms 'ice. And twherl' Ilie g.llierall llbliuc and not a local community would be benefitted, the governmtent 1pays the whole bill. How Are Disputes Between Officials and Men Adjusted? ily boards, to which the opelraling officials elect five nmembers and the Snen, fi've tietbers. In case of failure to reach all adjustment, the case is IappealeId to the dilrectorlls. Who Determines the Rate of Wages? The board of directors. Who Supervises the Purchase of the Roads? A purchasing board, composed of the interstate commerce commission and three directors of the new goverltnmient corpIoration, one director from eiachl group. Who Decides the Value of the Private Interest in the Railroads? The courts. It is a judicial question, and is to be answered only after an examination of the charters of the existing companies, the laws under which they were created, and the manulr in which the company has lived iup to its charter and these laws. Will the Public Have to Pay for Watered Stock? No. The public will probably pay less than two-thirds of what the rail Sroatls claimIt as their value. Are There Other Savings? Yes. the polublic can obtain the monlley to purchlase the lines at 4 per cenlt, whereas the plublic is now charged rates to guarantee the roads 6% per cent on their money. The saving on the present capital account of jthe raihoads would be about $400,000,000, and on an honest valuation .wiould be nearly twice this sumlll. The Plumb plan provides for a sinking fund allnda every yiear one of the fixed charges would be 1 per cent of the outstanding indebtedness, to be used in retiring the bonds. The govern iment also uses its profits in retiring bIonds, so eventually, probably in 50 years, thie peolple would ownl the roads debt-free. A further saving would be in the operation of the roalds as a unified system, whlich permits the Interchange of eqluipment, tlhe enld of wasteful comnpetition, and greater econoImy in buying supplies.

Comrade Jawn McIntosh Preaches lawss HatredJ Disguised under the new title of the Associated Industries of Montana, the Employers' association is functioning splendidly in its great and noble work of pr.ov iding a livelihood for Mr. John Mclit osh. Always progressive, a firm believer in the value of publicity, although at times somewhat careless in his methods. Mr. Mclntosh is now issuing from time to time to the associated industrialists a digest of indus trial and political events, enlivened with certain spicy additions of his own invention that show either a de plorable ignorance of material facts or a shocking dis regard for the truth. His messages. as lie calls them. imake very inter esting reading for a sludeiit of the mental pathology of the uhiquitlous tribe of Iruiicklers to Mamulonll; one is forced to conclude that if truth is found at the hot tom of a well, Mr. M(llntosh has a deep-sealed horror of underground places. We have been favored with a copy (of comrade Mc Inlosh's latest "message" to thie failllf l: it was pre sented( to us by a gentleman w\\hi for obvious reasons wishes his name withheld, and for the benefit of out thousands of readers we publish sonic of the salient features of John'is latest effort toward making the w\orld sa fe t(or democracy. with cnmment where neees sary. In his latest effusion. J ohn has taken the precaution to say-in small type--that "responsibility for com ment in these Bulletins is assumed by the nmanager alone and is not to he taken as the expressioln of the associntion unless it is distinctly stated that the ex cci liv\e committee has authorized and dir'ected it." It would appear that some of Johni's previous dis serlations had cause some embarassment to his ultra respectable clientele when given to the unfeeling pub lie through our cotunns md that tt the bueck was pas ed to John: hence the precaution.

SIGN UP! Come down to the Bulletin office and sign a monthly pledge WIL`~N AND THE COAL MINERS. We are inclined it wonder concerning the thoughts en gendered in the minids of those one-tinte active supporters of' the \\ilsoun adminisltration, those labor leaders who so enlthusi astically sillpporitel the great democ.rat in his every move, by his latest. pronomlcemetnt against the proposed strike of the coal miners. 'There are somethinng like 400.110(0 memibers of the I'niited Mine Workers of America; the occulpalion in which these men are engaged is of an extremely hazardoºrts nature; disasters in tihe coal industry, wiping out the wo\\rkers by the dozens, are of freqlientI occurrelene. During the war period. the miners were speeded up aits never before: with the coal-mining indlstlry sufferingy frc m a short age of labor,. caused by the induction of 715.006i melmbers of the Miners union into the army, one billion tons of coal were produced in the years 1917-1918 lhe largest prodntcion inl the history of the industry: 600,000. tonis were coinsumed at home and 400,000 tons exported. Ti'e coal operators made more morney than ever before: tlieir profits, like the profits of every other war industry, were fabulous. Cheapness of productlion in the coal idulstry of the United States has resulted in our displaeing British coal in the Scan dinavian markets. The coal operators claimlot hat the industry will be ruined if the miners' deinands are granted, if Ithe six-hour day is placed iufborce, yet so wide is the margIin of production cost between the United States and its competitors that even the introdac lion of the six-hour day and tIhe granting of a 610 per cent in crease would still leave the A\merican operator in a position to meet foreign competition. Tihe owners of the coal mines are a small, a very small grioup; they mine no coal, nor do they cantrlibute anythiig to industry. President Wilson, with that fa'ully he possesses of neglect ing to see anyithiJeg hiit one side of a ease, has apparently not considered tIhe questjon of forcing the operators to grant the miners' demands, although he stands ready to "use all the powvers of the goverrmtinI to continue production,"n meaning that.it is the 400,000 toilers against whom he intends to use for .e: To iPresident \Vilson, in common with olther representatives of bdlieivers,in the system of wage-slavery. right means but one thiig:'the right of the employer to continue to exploit and his iigihl to have the armed forces of capitalist government placed congraittlates and praises John Mclitgsh, mentions the high regard iP which he is held, and, in general, dis ports himself in the manner of one who has a good ljob and intends to hold it if boosting his own game will do it. It's all right with us. We all have .to eat, and if Comnrade lcntlosh got cained we would lose an un failing source of amusement. After adlmitting that lie is just about the best little inanaget liht a kind Providence ever placed at the dis posal of any organizationi, John gets quite nasty with the Bulletin in the following fashion:. Highest Compliment From the I. W. W. Possibly the highes.t compliment paid, however, is the snarling criticism of our effortlt s expressed in that oTficiatl organI of liscontent, class-hatret d and de structinor---ti lhe 1. V. t. Butte Bulletin. Work that displeases the Bulletin must, of necessity, he of a con structiv\ e nat1ure. Needless to say, we are surprised and pained; we have tried to be friendly and thought that we were doing Comrade Mclntosh a favor by giving such pub licity a; we could to his intensive campaign for a better world. On the whole. we rather resent the phrase, "snarl ing criticism," because, outside of one or two occa sions, when we didn't know John as well as we do now. and thought he might develop into a real menace to the workers' interest, we have always struggled to maintain an attitude of kindly criticism with the hope that ,iur fellow citizen would gradually overcome some of his more glaring faults and weaknesses. There is no gratitude in the human heart; neverthe less, we shall continue our well-meant efforts, though our111 own hearts are heavy. We call the attention of housewives generally, and to wives of working men in particular, to the next por tion of John's message to the profiteering fraternity. It follows: Trade Commission Confers With Business Men on the New Law. Recognizing the Associated Industries of Montana as the representative organization of business men in Iat hi.s d(Isposal wh\\'e, Ilis private methlos of coercioLn Iail. We hope that the thinking that must he being done by the officials of the United Mine Workers will lead them to the con elusion that the ingratitude of Wilson to the men who rendered him such sterling service in h:s day of trial, is simply the re sult of his being the representative of a class whose interests are at all times opposed to the interest of the workers, whether they are miners, rnilwaymen, or slaves of the steel trust. A STARTLING DISCOVERY. There is no use talking, it is impossible to conceal anything from these army intelligence officers. Lieutenant \Vau l'uren, employed in this branch of the serv ice. told a senate committee that he had discovered that efforts had been made for a nation,-wide strike to free political pris otlers. Surely there is some decoration that can be conferred upon! this remarkalde young man for the splendid seivice he has rendered the nation. Without his epoch-makitng discovery, it is probable that not' more than 98,000.000 residents. of America would have kngwnv \Withol t knolwinig exactly how the evidence of the attemlit I, ('all a general strike t, free political prisoners came into the Sossession of this young gentleman who. puts Sherlock Holmes il the shade for all time., we :suspect that at great personal risk he succeeded in getting into one of those secret meetings of thle conspirators, such as the once recently held in the Arena ini Seattle. attended by about 5,000 people. It is the impossibility of conducting anty of these sinister plots without their coning to the notice of the million or so c secrel service operatives that makes the agitators so cauttious. lious. d We hope the government will (do something in recognition (of the sterling services of this young wizard. Lieutenant Van Ittren.ti ASTOR. Afer a tman is dead, charity bids us to pass lightly over his faults. IBut the death :of \Villinm Waldorf Astor brings back e In newspa er mention again a man who disgraced two coun tries. lie insulted Ameica., bhy renouncing citizenship, and It with nothing to recommend him but the millions wrung from .the people of America through the property of his ancestors. he bought his way into the 1B~itish nobility. Since 1916 he e has been first a baron and then Viscount Astor of Hever. Fundamental democrats in England commonly refer to the d peerage as the beerage, because so many brewers, usurers and Slow-down grafters who happened to strike pay dirt were ad mitted to it. But the old nobility had to have money to keel if the show, and they got it by milking the millionaires.- Astor tl spent lavishly for years and then he bought thelPall Mall (Ga n zet te, a society paper of London, where lie could make hi: 'money talk louder by the' way the personal mention items .ver handled. So British nobility surrendered at last to the cam to paign of the nian w'ith a consuming desire for a title. l AN ECHO OF THE STEEL STRIKE. to The other day inrBiraddock, Pa.. a mill superintendent stop ped an old-timer on the street. 1- "Aren't you workiiig?" he asked. olf "No, I am not working; I'm on strikeo; I'm taking a holiday he I amt paying myself bhack those 20 Christmases I worked fog he; the conimpany," said the mani. uag That has been the situation with the mill workers.

And nor ne' these people are willing to sacrifice to change this sort of thing lisl for themselves, for their children, and for the workers of al ed time. the state, the Montana trade commission requested that we arrange a meeting at Helena.on Oct..9 of the executive officers of the various trade organizations in the state, for the purpose of discussing the feasibil ity of the selection of 10 or 12 representative business I men from each line of endeavor, to.meet with- the com mission at some subsequent date in an- attempt to ar rive, if possible, at an approximate gross. margin of profit for the guidance of the commission's idspectors in their investigation under the provisions-of -house bill No. 14, passed.at the recent Speoial sessi.n of the legislature. \Ve thoroughly appreciate that this L- a large order and that it may be found imipostsible to co-operate with the coimnission in the manner de siredl, but we feel that we slhould make ev ery possible attempt to assist in allaying the ideas of profiteering so prevalent in this state the past ear. The result of this meeting alnd any, further steps to be taken in con nectioln therewith, will be amioun.edi ili ou! next Bult letiti. pTo put the matter a little more Ifrankly, in plain English, John is conveying Ithe glad tidings to his em ployers that they have nothing to worry about so far as the Montana trade commission is- concerned; in deed, they are to he congratulated 'because they, are to have all opportunity of fixing the gross rate of profit themselves. What could be more desirable from the standpoint of the profiteer? This is an interesting revelation of the working of the system in Montanna and is conclusive proof that there is no relief to be had from the camouflage legis lation that was passed to quiet the populace; on the contrary, here is irrefutable proof that the Montana tra(le commission is Working hand-in-glove with the interests whose extortions they are supposed to curb. We are deeply indebted to Comrade M1eintosh for his exposure of the collusion beteei s.teI h biodies and the profiteering elan, nor have we the slightest dobiht that the information will be gratefully accepted by the thousands of workers and their families who are strug gling to make both ends meet. We are so grateful thati. we are not even goilng to comment on the doubtful discretion displayed by J ohn in incorporating this information in a circular fur nished the general membership. Comrade Mlcntosh next deals with industrial con TTHE GROUP SPIRIT. The faster the workers:acquire the group spirit the better they will be able to look- after their livelihood and, "remove the causes of their ills." The so0called upper or capitalistic classes are alretady compactly organized. The individuals com bine their wealth and power through the corporate form of organization. These in turn are: united into trusts or trade as sociations, 'lnd these iin turnrstill further united so that a few men cait..dic ker'for :the \whole big interest class of America. This gang must be supremne uiqt.il the -workers, whom they take advantage of, also run in gangs. Over a column ot. space topped with a .glaring headline is devoted in one of the morning capitalistic papers to a descrip tion of how President Lovett of the Union Pacific railroad walked uptown fromn his palatial private car yesterday in a snowstorm. Neither in that issue nor in any others have we iver seen any space devoted to descriptions of the thousands of menl who walk to the various ptrines on the iill in blizzards and below-zero weather evry. day ii :tie year, because.of ino Ssuifficietit W.'ages to pe nit them, the needed' carfarie or txicalb fare to ride: to ;oiork.

During the four months which I ipent. this spring in central Europe I listened to many discussions on direct ,otion. During the three months that I have been at home I have heard and read many more. The two series of debates stand apart, curiously separate. On the continent, socialists among them selves discussed only the mechanics of this method, At.home, it seems to me, we discuss nothing but its ethics. Abroad the realty of the class war is so much more clearly perceived that socialists discuss the general strike I much as soldiers may discuss the rel ative merits of trench warfare And open maneuvers, the frontal attack, or the war of attlition.

The strike of the ;metal .trades against the mining companie,% proved a failure.'as forecasted last month. ith.:-the: big nmaJority of the companies' workers on the lob and satisfied, the idle mietal tradesmen'wrought seriojrs injury to none but themselves. At their re quest Federal Mediator Davis visited the sta-te, and the result of his obseryvtions was virtually to advise :he strikers to return to work. "The metal t'ades unions thereupon submitted the question to referendum .Vote and, while the strikers voted agaiist returning to work, maniy are returning as individuals. There was no justi fica.tioti for the strike which wits, in truth, unpopIular with the rank of the strikers; but which, as usual, was forcedl and engineered by afl'e.,tradical leaders. After stlriking foi more than: a- month for ani,exorb itant \wave increase (they were, getting $7 and dec nianded $9) the Carpenters' union of Billings, together with other building trades unions,. capitulated, and the Billings divisiol of the M:ontana Associated Indus tries won a clean-cut victory on tlie issues involved. For weeks the carpenters refused to meet and discuss the question 'with the employers. 'The final chapter means nuchl.for Billings, for the adjustment of the troubhi there includes a permandeit arbitration agree ment, whereby differences are to be settled in future by arbitration between the unions and the associate.d Industries. The issues of the recent strike are now in the hands of the arbitration board. The value of siuch an arbitration arrangement was again demonstrated at Helena recently, where differ ences between the building trades unions and employ ers were amicably adjusted. We confess to having no very definite information concerning the building trades strike in Billings, hbult. I if-,ohn's version ofrit is as i~eracious as his account of the metal trades. strike in iutte, we ha:ve some doubt as to the extent of the victory won by the employers. It is common knowledge that the' membership of the metal trades.voted for a strike in the face of a rec ommendation for the acceptance of the companies' proposition by their committeemen, and also that the metal trades went back to work in a body and not as individuals after the final settlement. (Continued Tomorrow.) statement. A success gained by the use of this weapon would be reyolu tioli.. The leaders might display al' our national genius for tact and mod eration. They might 'limit their de mands, and ask only for what- the present ruling class might cohcede without abdicating. That moderation could not disguise the fact that the proletariat would have proved its ability to dictate. There need be no proclamation of the dictatorship. Every one would realize that hence. forward a latent dictatorship existed That is not an objection to direce action, but it is a reason why the rul ing:class must fight it to the last ea trdinity. In an ordlinary party fight it .could" give way gracefully anti easily, if it chose, on Russia and or the socialization 'of mines and rail ways, and still survive as a ruiink anc profit-making class. But it dare not concede even smaller things that those to a threat of direct action. But' can it resist, the reader asks! Itt seems to me that men inured t( indistrial strikes-are apt to suppos: that a political strike would resgmb!' them. The mines close down; Strike pay is doled out week by wee!;, loa beforei it is exhausted, the wholi coiintry, elamoring for coal jvouh have forced this government eithe to yield or.' toýmdke Way for iwise mten. Things-would not run so- saothly From the premier down to the las t litt e clerk in his suburba.l villa e every middle-clabs'citizen ini England would say:. "This is revolution."

There Would be riots! Prot ..hl~o h..} -It ;rh inn- i (r against' airplanes and machine guns? A political strike is a challenge to the state as it exists today, and the answer of the state would be to call in armed force. But still there would be no coal? The men would get coal again when hunger drove them to it. Armed Force and the Strike. It would be foolish, to deny that strikes, or a general strike, may play a part in revolutionary strategy. It is folly, however, tosuppbse that one can play at direct action without chal leggiing revblution, or that one can deliver' a revolutionary challenge without' coming up' against armed fr'ce. There have been many general st1rikes .long and, short, in central Eilr.iope 'thin: year. The most deter lniiled lasted for 10 days. All of them failed to achieve a political' result. On the contrary tlle'effct in Germany was to drive even :a semi-socialist givernmieilt into organizing a profes sioal army, whose whole purpose is to repress the working class. A conscript army cannot be used for ever for that 'ud of .the proletariat really is ripe for revolutionary tactics. A, profer ,sional .army. can always' be selected for this. purliose. The strike aloeie.has always failed as a political'method. The difference between' .1905 and 1917 in Russia vas that` in the second year some of the' workers had armqs and some of the .troops Joined them. The differ ence in Berlin between the success of November and the failure Of March wad that in the interval.the army: had been deniolished and Noske's "Free Corps" had taken" its place. It is folly to.isay "We will not use Force; v'e want no bloodshed." Our opponents would use force and they would not shrink from bloodshed. The demo~cracy which will. not have a militia and allows its rulers to create a long-ternm professional army is com nmitted henceforward to strictly con ;titutional courses. It must "play the game" because. it dare not do other wise; it will be lucky if the ruling :aste .is.always equally scrupulous. e These, I know, are opinions which e few of the Herald's readers and none e of its staff will share: I am content if s they serve the purpose of stating the issue ip terms of mechanics. To my thinking we are in danger from mix ing. revolution with constitutional tac tics. 'One of these days Mr. Lloyd t George will take up the challenge and carry the issue to an election. He would not fight on his Russian folly nor yet on the merits of socialized d mipes. He would fight on -'-direct action," and he might, if we played into his hands, contrive to rally ai panic-stricken country to his banner C against "bolshevism.". That 'is no reason, for holding our hands, if we can "act directly" and win. It is a reason, ,however, for caution, if (as believb)' the machine gun is, as sol O diers woitld say, a "strOnger form of e war" than the strike.--N, Y:' Call.

His failcy wound up to the highest pitch, he plannled to seek the city "Quinsai" which Marco Polo had declared to be the capital of the world. After se'veral day8s delay from head winds, Columbus arrived in sight of the great Island which we call "Cuba" today; on the 27th of October. As lie approached the shores he was struck with the extent and grandeur of its features; its high mountains, fertile plains; its forests and its promontories. He landed, and gave the island the name of Juana in honor of Jrince .Juan. The spot where lie landed is believed to be Ithe coast to the west of Nuevitas del Principio. Cuba broke upon ('olum Sbus like a vision. "One could live there forever!" he cried.

Bosses Worried. The following, under date of Thllursday, has been received frit') the publicity committee of L. W. I. i'. No. 500, at Spokane: "The lulnberjacks' strike is still on. This strike started three weeks ago, and was caused by the tonm panies raising the board 25 cents a day and making a charge of $1 a week for blankets. The lumber in dustry of eastern Washington, Idahoi and Montana is practically at a standstill. Only a few "jylpos" are working. Pickets are on the job night andtll day il all the hlunibel townlls. 'A few days ago the lulber Itarons held a meeting which lasted two days. At the end of this meeting t the Spokane papers announced theliy had decided to employ no molre I 1W. W.s, even if they had to be con tent wiith a decreased output.' Ninety per cent of the lumberjacks in this section are organized in the I. WV. W.. so if no I. W. V.s are employed it will mean that productionl will be cut to 10 per cent of normal. There is an active detmand for lumbenr and prices never were so highl. The lutlt ber barons atre in blutsiness to mllakie profits. If they were to employ no more I. W. \V.s they would cut 90' per cent off their profits. "The one thing, above all others sacred to busitness men is their profits. To suppose that they would deliberately kill their god is ridicu lous. As long as the demand for lumber is good and prices are high. they will speed up productioln. They think they could make bigger profits by employing workers who are not mlelmbers of the I. XV. W., hence their efforts to get rid of the or ganization, but the I. WV. WV. has got too firtn a hold on the lumber in dtustry to be shakenl off. The lunl ber batrons will have to be content with the profits produced by the I. WX. WV.s or they will see 90 per cent of those profits vanish alto gether. But the situation would be mituch worse than this. Practically all Ihe real lumlberjacks belong to the union. The 10 per cent unor-ý ganized are inot efficient workers. ''It would be impossible to run i ctantp profitably with 10 per cent of a crow, even of gotod llituberjacks; mluch less with i green hands. "The lumbeir barons also omitted to explaitn how they are going t., eliminate thle I. WV. WV. There is lito outward or vi.tible difference be tween an I. \V. WX, and another itlan. When the strik,er:; go back oni the job, if the detltandsi are not conceded the intermittetnt strike and the job strike will be used. The cotmpanier know this and it is causing theni much ulneasiness. "It seems they are unable to find a way out and after discussing tile question for two dtlays the, are nn able to offer any better solution than the one above mentioned which any one cognizallt of the facts knows to he utterly impracticablle andi impossi I ble. "Early in 1t917 those gentlemtn atnounnced their intention of keep ing all I. WV. W\. out of the camps but aftler nearly three years there are more I. W. W.V.s in the camps than \'ver before. "The lublher 1arons are on t(he horns of a dilemtma. No wonder they are perllexed. Tlh ey want workers but not worklrs of sufticient intelligente! to tie uniolln menO. The only available worklers are unlionl lmenI. To employ these ameans de creased profits. Not to employ them1 leans no profits at all.

SOOSA EXPEBT WITH GUNS AS WELL AS WITH BANDS Practically all of the civilized world is familiar with I,ieut. John Philip Sousa, th" band leader, and hundreds have g:ven imitations of himnt when leading his hand. Many also know that he is a composer of operas, words and music, has writ ten some splendid books and that he has composed more than 1(00 suc cessful marches. But only his friends know him when he puts aside his uniform and becomes a plain American citizen, ready for any fun or frolic. He is a lover and student of nature, and passes weeks every year "out in the wilds" with his horses, his dogs and his guns. "Always treat animals like friends and not like slaves," is his motto, and if you are desirous of argument just dispute his assertion that the greatest of all recreations are the companionship of a good horse and a faithful dog, a dependable gun, followed by a chat with a pretty girl. Mr. Sousa has become one of the best trap shooters inl the country, and his home at Port Washington, L. I., is littered with the trophies he has won. Lieutenant Sousa and his world famous band will be heard at the Broanway theater on next Thursday' evening under tl.( auspices of the Butte post of the A-ifi'rican Legion. R.., PRESIDENT SEES AND KNOWS IT ALL President Robert S. Lovett of the Union Pacific railroad and a number of other leading railroad of ficials arrived in Butte Saturday evening in a special train of seven cars. According to the carefully de tailed story in the morning papers, Judge Lovett went to bed at i o'clock Saturday night, arose at 6 o'clock Sunday morning, read the morning papers before breakfast at 7 a. im., and then proceeded afoot to niake a tour of the railroad sta tions and yards of Butte. It was claimed that ,Judge Iovelt walkeou some four miles through the snow. in the course of his jaunt. After completing this feat, Judge Robert S. Lovett, president of the Union Pa cific Railroad company, again board ed the special train of seven cars and departed with his party over the O. S. L. in the direction of Pocatello, Ida. the morning papers state that Judge Lovett, in the course of his walk yesterday morning, attained a detailed knowledge of the railroad business in Butto. They also state that Judge Lovett feels complete confidence in the ability of the Washington officials to secure an amicable and satisfactory adjust ment of the presently threatening situation in the labor world. JOBS ARE SOUlHI FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS Many Butte employers have re ceived lately communications from Edwin C. Weemple, western district director for the secretary of war. The letters are appeals to the em ployers to find jobs for the returned service men of high technical train ing who have recently come back from the army more or less broke. Mr. Wemple says: "A great many men are now calling for help who have never before been placed in the position of having to look for a job. Many of these men are men of pride, whom it hurts to ask anybody for as sistance." Mr. Wemple earnestly urges the employers of Butte to save these men of high technical training and sensi tive natures from the embarrassment of having to look for a job. In the meantime millions of men and wom en rustle daily for jobs at the gates of mines, mills and factories. To as sume that the highly trained have a monopoly on pride or that their stomachs gnaw more distressingly, when unfed, than the bellies of the unskilled, is perhaps a natural con clusion for Mr. Weemple to reach, but that it is a mistake many working men and workingwomen will main tain. CHILDHOOD SWEETHEART SEARCHES FOR HER EMiL Sixteen years ago in Vermlandtl Sweden, Miss Alma Peterson and Emil Johnson were playmates. Then both came to the United States, but at different times. Saturday Miss Peterson, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Ellen Miller, as chaperon, ar rived in Butte in search of Emil, whom they had been led to believe was elmplloyed here as a carpenter. Since then tIhe police department and the reportorial staff of every news paper in town have been searching assiduously for Emil. Several Emils have been produced, but in each case he was the wrong one. SPECIAL METING IN CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS A special meeting is called to night in the council chambers of the city hall for all the boosters of the proposed Armistice day celebration.
