being in the form of note which was

Oil
Combination
Ten Million Dollars Profits on Capi.
talizatiOn of One Million Per
Year or 1000 Per Cent

Every socialist should keep the fol
lowing item for educational pur-
poses" for it contains some valuable
official information. The hearing be-
fore Special Referee Ferris of Mis-
souri, in the government suit to dis
solve the great oil combination was
begun at New York Tuesday, with
Attorney Frank B. Kellogg represent
ing the government and John @. Mil
burn and Others as counsel for the
Standard Oil company. Mr.. Kellogg
submitted in evidence statistics COM
piled by the Standard Oil officials,
showing that the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey had earned pro-
fits in the last seven years aggregat-
ing ,934, and that during the
same time dividends had been paid
to the amount of s30s, 1859, ,4O3. These
profits came from the plants owned by
the parent company, as well as from
those of the subsidiaries controlled by
il. This was the fsrt time in the his
tory of the oil trust that record of
its earnings entire had been made pub
lie. Acting Comptroller Fay of the
Standard said that there were nine.
teen subsidiary companies, and gave
their names. The evidence is being
taken for use in the circuit court at
st. Louis, where the dissolution suit,
under the antitrust law, is to be pro-
secuted. Mr.. Kellogg, among other
things, wanted the company to pro-
duee the minutes of the various meet
ings at which the absorption of smaller
companies was arranged, but the eoun-
sci for the company was inclined to
resist. The examination of Charles NJ
Pratt, secretary of the trust, brought
out the fact that the parent company
had transferred its s4,OOO,O00 holdings
in the Waters.Pieree Oil company of
Texas to son.in-law of Vice Presi-

A lesson that should be taken tc

had arrived in the city.
Last spring the Dems and Repubs
nominated citizens alliance men az
candidates for mayor of Livingston;
the Socialists nominated a machinist,
named Keeler. When election day
came the union men of Livingston

With the exception of scab herding
the only thing this chief of police has
ever been successful at, was franchise

franchise grabbers that ever infested
a Montana city. This is the kind of
Jim Crow that wants TO have honest,
law-abiding wage workers treated as
convicts and whose pride is to leve! a

On Sunday, Sept. 22, a monster free
speech meeting was held in the Labor
Temple, Emil Herman was the prin.
cipal speaker. In a stirring, logical
and forceful manner he told those pres
ent just why socialists were denied the
use Of the streets for speaking pur-
poses. The capitalist system can not
afford to be party to its abolition
and yet, its very act in denying us the
use Of the streets contributes 10 its
suicide. Comrades Brown and Titus
also spoke. Subscriptions TO the
amount of fifty dollars were made TO
the free speech fund.
To prove to the administration that
courage is not at a discount in the
ranks of the socialists, another attempt
was made to hold a meeting on Pion-
eer Place Monday night. Our inten-
ton was, to hold our meeting the same
time that the army held theirs about
hundred feet distant from their
meeting. For some reason the army
did not make an appearance. The
daily papers had given notice that we
would hold meeting and the streets
we're black with people, who had come
to hear what we had to say. Comrade

The boilermakers' strike is still on
in full blast on the railroads in the
northwest, with prospects Of the black
smiths and machinists becoming in
volved.
Last Wednesday bunch of scabs
boilermakers were put to work in the
Livingston shops and some Of them
were put to work on the same loco
motives as machinists were working
ON. The machinists would not work
along side of scab and told the boss

charged them and put two more ma
chinists in their places who likewise
refused scab company and were dis
charged.
The union took up the case and de-
manded that the men be reinstated
and the scabs displaced, the company

boys threw down their tools and left
the shop.
When the scab boilermakers were
brought into town they were lodged
in old box cars, and the chief Of police
got very busy and sent fifteen armed
deputies to protect the scabs.
The armed deputies were placed in.
side the machine shop and stood guard
over the union machinists. One boiler.
maker had five armed deputies around
him while he was working, in case
some machinist might ask him for a
chew of tobacco, or enter into a So

ing machinists they state they were

SOCIALISM WAKES UP IN ENGLAND

London, Sept.-old England is wax.
ing up. The fact that we had the see.
ond largest delegation at the Interna-
tional Socialist Congress in Stuttgart
is sign of the times. With fifty
labor representatives in parliament,
many of whom are socialists, we may
well feel encouragement and look for
brighter days in the proletarian move
ment of England.
Years ago socialism had become a
fal to be talked about by Cranky
fellows like John Burns" at Hyde
Park meetings, or by Fabian gentle
men and ladies in the parlors of Gre
pectable London" IL is different
now. John Burns is no longer in the
labor or socialist movement, having
become much more respectable than
even the most respectable Fabian.
Socialism to-day appears as a move
ment, as a powerful factor in and a
constituent part of the labor move
ment. 1t was the purpose Of check
ing the onward march of the socialist
forces that John Burns was provided
with a ministerial portfolio at a fine
salary.
The following happenings of the
week indicate the growing influence of
our movement:
Lord Londonderry and Socialism
Lord Londonderry came very near
to spelling the Primrose feast over
which he presided last Saturday in
the magnifcently- wooded grounds of
Wynyard Park. just when the merry
knights and danes of the Primrose
order were enjoying to the full his
lordship's generous hospitality he con.
iured up before them the dread spectre
of socialism. He warned them Of the
growth of the Socialist Party, the pol.
ley Of which was to destroy the eonsti-
tuition of the country, and incidently
deprive his lordship Of the pleasure Of
being able in the future years TO en-.
tertain his Primrose guests. II must
not, however, be supposed that his
lordship's alarm concerning socialism
arose from any selfish considerations

both of which proved to every fair
minded person out of the two hundred
in court, that the Salvation Army did
on Thursday, Sept. 10, hold meeting
on Pioneer Place, Seattle, Wash, this
meeting occupying forty-fve feet
square Of the street and sidewalk, that
the audience numbered about three
hundred, that the meeting lasted over
half an hour, that the policeman on
the beat knew of the meeting, that as
soon as the army had finished saving
for the evening, Comrade j. b. os-
borne started to address about fifty
people on the exact spot the army had
occupied, that these fifty people oc'
cupied space about ten feet square,
that he was telling his audience about
the contents Of the recent issue Of

spoken about three minutes, he was ar

"The Salvation Army and other re-
ligious bodies were always given more
latitude than political bodies" said
Prosecuting Attorney De Bruler in ar
guing the case. This means that the
Salvation Army can occupy forty.f Ave

Bound to Come.

The United States nay as well get
ready to fight it out with Japan.
Nothing but a wal with this country
| will even satisfy the cgotistical Japa-
nesc. They think because they worst
cd Russia, they a turn down any
nation on the globe. When the time
comes the United States will teach
them better, and it will take a good
t~hrashing to knock the conceit out
Of them. Graf Won Rcventlow, an
officer of the German navy and a
writer of authority on army and navy
topics, takes it for granted that a
great war is to be fought between
Japan and the United States. He is
not the only one in Europe who be-
llevcS that war is inevitable between
the United States and Japan.
The Baron says the Philippine Is
lands will be the matter Of dispute.
In a book Just published this writer
declares that the Philippines consti-
tutc the great disturbing factor in
the worlds peace. These islands, he
J says, will be the apple of discord in
the mean future. He points out that
upon the completion of the Panama
canal these islands will be of inestim-
able value as a trade center between
the American continent and the Far
East, and they will be harmful to the
commerce of both England and Jap
an.
The Baron goes on to say that
nothing is more probable than that
the rulers of Japan see in the United
States Of America the great danger
OF their future, though it is not like
~ that they covet the Philippines
for Immediate occupation. These nat
urally exert their influence also, for
1T is a group of islands of great nat
ural wealth. They produce what ia
pan needs and requires no such
lengthy development as Korea and
Manchuria. Great as the desire for
their conquest may be among the
mass OF the Japanese people, the
government would be strong enough
to hold them in check until the psy-
chologic moment could be seized,
But should the question Of pride Of
race arise it would be a different
matter. Then populace, government
and mikado would be united to strike
for supreme domination of the Far
East, the fetch of the Japanese"
He thinks that in any event tho
East Asiatic market would be lost to
the United States and that this coun-
try would most certainly resolve
upon and carry forward war of re-
vcngc. Money, shipyards and tech
meal knowledge he says, would
enable the Americans shortly to
builda monster fleet far outstrip-thc
Japanese Then, Of course, Japan
would be made to feel the strong arm
of power. She would emerge from
a war with the United States broken
in fortune and Inundated before the
world. The indemnity she would
have to pay would bankrupt her for
generations. 1t would be hard on the
little brown people, but they are so
iuIl OF conccit that some nation viii
have to knock it out Of them, and
sooner ~ later we believe that the
United States will have it to do. Then
the Japs will see what fools they
were to think because they had
