NATIONALIST CLUB NO. 3.

Owing to the inclemenCy of the
weather the attendance at last Sundays
meeting was rather small even the few
who came were late in arriving. In
view hereof it was agreed that the
lecturer, Mr.. Blisscrt, should deliver his
address on "Past and Present of The
Labor Movement' at the next meeting
and the programme was changed into a
general debate
The ball was set rolling by Mr.. San
ford, one of the two -- and significant it
is there are just only two-advocates of
what is known rs the 1.-TWO per cent ad
valorem Idiocy.' Mr.. Sanford did not
trot out his whole hobby but only a few
hairs Of its tail He declared Socialists
sailed under false pretenses in pretending
they would abolish money. Labor
checks, vouchers for labor performed,
this wise-Acre claims was money all the
same. He also aired the old and eN-
ploded capitalist dodge that it was not
labor" but "prices', i, { supply and
demand, that determine value.
An interesting discussion eu~ued
showing, ON the first point, the ex-
plotting characteristic of money; hence,
the impoosibilty of labor chicks possessing
those characteristics and hence, the
confusion of thought and uncritical bent
of mind that must underlie the assertion
that "lAbor checks are Identical with
"money.'
As to the second point, economist
Sanford was driven to admit that his
position would necessarily lead to the
following reduction at dbSuTdHm
If you could get man IN such a pre-
diCament az that a glass of water would
save his life, and he was unable to 20 to
a pump near by for it, it would he per
fectIy just and proper to charge him
500, $1,000, or any amount you could
get for it; the 800, $1,000, or whatever
amount paid, would be he real rdiHc Of

a socialist Bomb Fired by Mayor
Sargent.
j. b. Sargent, the Iron King of New
Haven, and newly elected Mayor of the
city, has fired a bomb into the camp of
our old city foggies who have had all
the say for century past In his mes
sage to the Board of Common Council
he advocates municipal ownership and
control of all our Street Railroads.
Water supply, Gas and Electric Light
works. He also advocates the filling in
of the big swamps which surround New
Haven. This message has shaken up the
old Rip Van Wrinkles in great style. They
have looked at it on all sides and hardly
know What to think Of it. Their only
consolation is that Mr., Sargent cannot
carry out these rey0Iutiomizing ideas,
which. however, are heartily endorsed
by the workIngmen.
At a meeting Of the Trades Council
last week Mayor SarSents message
received the unanimous endorsement Of
that body. As one Of the members said:
"Heretofore. with the exception of
Mayor Lewis, who was goahead, pro-
gres,ive man, this city has never had a
chief magistrate who would grapple
with any of the questions that are being
discussed by the leading economists and
newspapers throughout the country.

these matters before the public he was

Cor. Sec'y. Central Con
Iock0uts-HoW to Put an End to them,

Tn communication to the Lynn
Central Labor Union enclosing a dona
ton for the benefit of the locked out
morocco tinishers, the New Haven
Wood Carvers' Association expresses a
desire that some efficient tactics be de-
vised for dealing with lockouts. The
secretary of the said Association writes
as follows;
"Under existing conditions | can see
but one course to pursue. When a
lockout occurs, the whole body of people
Il us deprived of the means of getting a
living should throw themselves upon
their community for their support,
Towns and cities are bound to support
all those of their inhabitants who are
deprived of the means Of self-suppOrt.
This is not charity but simply the right
of the people. and the community can
not deny the demand If the local
authorities neglect to respond, use such
funds as are available to move the
machinery of the State to compel the
local authorities to discharge Their
duties. How long it would take for
eleven hundred men with their families
to eat the city of Lynn bankrupt, is a
simple arithmetical problem which you
can easily work out yourselves. The
CITY would DON have to be bonded for
the support of the locked out poor, and
property owners wonld exert all their
influence to have the difficulty settled.
If this was not done promptly, howl
would 60 up from the capitalists
and the community would be com
PEELED to take hold of the business
and conduct it in its interest in order to
save the value of the accumulated wealth
of the place. Were these tactics once
inaugurated and carried through to a
logical conclusion, lockouts would soon
some to an end in this country forever. ,

Mayor Grants message was ominously
silent in regard to the public schools of
New York city. This worthy represen-
tative of Tammany Hall did not dare to
repeat officially his campaign boasts Of
what he had done, or his cantlng pro-
misses Of what he would do, for the
cause of education.
We stated in our last that the miners
of Pennsy lyania were asking 50c per net
ton of 1000 pounds instead of the SOC
per gross tou of 2240 pounds which
they have heretofore been paid con
sidering that the amount of pro
lection to American labor" given
by the tariff to our coal barons is i5c.
per ton, the demand Of the miners is
trihing. The fact is that, as matters
stand. the coal barons not only pay
nothing for labor, but put one-third Of
the tax in their capacious pockets, beside
all the so.called natural value of the
coal. ~

WARDS OF THE COMMUNITY.

THE New York ,StdHddfd, under its
new management, has apparently deter,
mined TO continue the policy of ostracis-
ing all those who do not regard free
trade and single tax ~ the be-all and
end-all of the movement. 1t prints with
editorial commentator paper read be
fore the Single-tax League of Pittsburg
assaiing Socialism. In commenting on
this paper, the editor predicts that in the
future there will be a determined
struggle between the upholder5 of the
single tax and those who wish TO make
the State the sole employer, dwarfing
the individual into ward Of the
community" Probably the editor thinks
that the terrible prospect of being
''dwarfed into a ward Of the commun-
ity" will strike the average citizen with
horror and scare some who may be
tinctured with heretical socialist ideas
back to individualjst orthodoxy. But
lsu'nt it rather singular that, if there IL
such an aversion 10 being ''dwarfed by
employment in the government service,
every presidential election should Wit
ness the spectacle of about half a million
able bodied men, more or less using
exertiOn to remain or become wards OF

\ Proposition to Make Every Doctor II

proposition to Make Every Doctor u
Member of the sanitary Corps.
The late Socialist congress held at
Halle, Germany. added a most unique
and tar.reaChlng proposition to its plat.
form. This was the suggestion that the
functions of the Sanitary Department of
the Government be extended SO as to
embrace all the members of the medical
profession, and to make them public
funCtiOnarieS
The above proposition was the subject
Of a lively debate at the Labor Lyceum
of New Haven. Conn, last week, and
the general sense of the meeting was
that the idea was good one. To test
the practcablIlty of the scheme the club
decided to send out a circular letter to
all the doctors OF the city asking their
opinions upon the subject. Should a
large numoer approve Of the plan the
club will begin an agitation in favor Of
It's adoption. The idea as far ~ it ap,
plies to New Haven is roughly outlined
as follows:
"l-Thr present Board of Health to
be authorized by the proper authorities
to enlist all the doctors Of New Haven
as members OF the Board of Health
''2-The Board to equip a suitable
building for its headquarters.
''3-ro divide the city into sanitary
districts connected by system of tele.
graph and telephone lines with the head
quarters Of the Board
Il The doctors to be divided into
suitable classes Of specialists, for the
purpose Of having a complete repre-en,
tati0n of medical science at headquar-
tiers. Each doctor to serve a regular
term of duty, six hours day at head
quarters
"5-The Board to establish a sanitary
patrol covering the entire city.
"6-The Board as a committee of the
whole, to fix the salaries of its members,
choose its own officers. managers, etc,
and adopt such rules and regulations as
are best suited to carry out the work laid
down in this project, l. e., the protec.
ton Of the health of the citizen and eff
Gent relief in cases of sickness, etc
g The citizens to have the right to
summon, free of charge, any medical
AID from the Board Of Health, such aid
to be sent Immediately, and if upon
examination a specialist of any class be
desirable or necessary, such specialist
to be sent at once from headquarters,
Medicine to be also furnished free Of
charge to any citizen if ordered by
physician.
''8-The cost Of maintaining tins insti-
tuition to he raised by direct tax, the
same as the school tax"
