k|ER HARD|E TALKS
 ON SOCIALISM Victory in Milwaukee Is Taken to Mean Great Deal REFORMS ARE PLANNED
rrsvor-EIect SeideI of Milwaukee An-
 nounces What His Administration A Preposes to Do for the City &iis. and the People
By PAUL LAMBETH

London, April 9.-(Special Cable)-"Ihe election of socialist mayor and city gov ernrnent for Milwaukee should awaken the people of the United States to a reve- lation of the fact that the socialists are to be political factor which must be reckened with" This statement was made to me today by Kier Hardie, M. F., who is practically the leader of the labor party in. the house of commons, and one of the ablest socialists in Europe today
 '"The power of socialism in American politics. continued MT. Hardie. ..has been of slow growth, but it has been steady and healthy. For time the American so- ciaIists were almost wholly men from Flu rope but this is no longer true. Ameri- eanssborn workmen are realizing the soundness of socialistic principles and the necessity that they should express their belief at the ballot box Much depends on the conduct of the city government of Milwaukee under the guidance of its knowledge of the situation and the men there I have no fear of the results. The men of Milwaukee, am sure, will demon- strate to the American people that social- fists are not wild-eyed visionaries. but po- litical men of affairs and that socialis- tic principles must also be put into eff feet.

Pledges of the Socialists

Milwaukee, Wis, April 9-(Special)- The socialist party in this city will have two years in which to carry out it's cam paign pledges, but Mayor-elect Emil Seid- ell declared today that his administration might need more time, and that an ex- tension of the administration might be asked two years hence to complete the re- forms.
 The socialist platform promised the res- idents of Milwaukee the following re- forms:
 Home rule.
 Initiative and referendum.
 Better schools.
 Municipal ownership.
 Street car company to sprinkle streets.
 Trades union condition of labor.
 A seat for every passenger in street cars and the equipment of all cars with lenders.
 Three-cent street car fares.
 Eight-hour day for labor. Cheaper gas. Cheaper lee, by means of municipal plant. Cheaper coal and wood, by means of city owned yards. Corporations to pay their full share of taxes. Clean street cars. Public comfort stations.
 Work for the unemployed at union wages | Free water for widows who support I themselves by taking in washing. | Standard weight for bread. | The most progressive head in the so- | cialistic movement in Milwaukee is Vic | tor Berger, who reigns among the lead CTS of the party in the United States While Berger was only candidate for alderman-at-large (and was elected),. he Is recognized as being a forceful power in he administration. Mayor Seidel had the following to say: .'The first step of the socialist party will be to assure the people and to re- ieve their minds of fear. We shall not plunge the city into radical move- ment which would retard progress toward our goals and aims. We shall have to
 move slowly because the eyes of the state and nation are upon us. Socialism is on trial. | "But ours is not a party of bosses. NQfhipG zUill s4e dqna aRit thnkf, ', hroAd dis cu&GioN of tbe eVhiQct hy a1J tho oGltclAls.
