unionism and socialism and dare not talk
1t, what are you?
We all realize there is something doing
when President Taft said at Jackson,
Mich, that socialism is the great issue
before the American people. 1t is a
difficult problem and one that must be
dealt with soon. If friend Willie will
just wait awhile, just little while longer
we will take the head of new business
and dispose of it to suit every working
man under the skies.

whole world has been cheered up. Every
tongue, every nation, by the glad news
of socialist faith-the thought that want
and suffering may become thing of the
past and we all may have an equal chance
is the good news that has come to the
working class after centuries
Oh, wake up, we nation of toilers! Be-

our national boasts seamen sailing under
the British flag enjoy better wages and
conditions than under the Stars and
Stripes, Andrew Furuseth, president of
the international Seamen IS Union of
America, appeared before the House ship
subsidy investigation committee and
spoke against the scheme to mulct the
United States treasury for the benefit of
the Wall Street pirates''
American wages-there is no such
thing declared the leader of the organ
lied seamen in answer to the assertion
that ship subsidies would give the sailors
more pay. "What our sailors get, are
port wages. If they sail from Hongkong
they get Hongkong wages
Furuscth called the attention of tbe
committee to a law passed by the United
States in 1854 which gives the ship-own-
ers the right to hire crew in foreign
port without re-shipping them when the
ship leaves this country, thus making the
sailors practically slaves.
When asked by a member of the COM
mlttee to state why American sailors Oh.
posed the substituting of American sbins.
Furuseth pointed out the fact that the
ship subsidy bills have a provision reouir.
ing sailors to join the naval reserves in
order to get work on subsidized vessels.
All sailors would then become conscripts.
said Furuseth.
Well, do you object to workingmen
joining the militia?''
No, replied Furuseth, ssbut do
OBJECT that sailors be compelled to mt
themselves under obligations in order to
get work that other citizens are moi. ,,
The arguments put up by the agents
of the ''Wall Street pirates in behalf
OF ship subsidies are so similar to those
that had been made for a high tariff
on steel that it has elected comment
from many labor men present at the
hearing.

BIG AVIATION MEET.

Eighty Thousand Dollars In Prizes Of
fersd to Contestants at Los Angeles.
According to the announcement Of
the promoters of the midwinter aVia-
ton meet to be held on the old Santa
Anita race track, near Los Angeles,
Cal, Jan. 10 to 20, it will be the first
international aviation meet ever held
In the United States. Some Of the men
behind the meet are among the most
prominent on the Pacific slope. Among
them are Henry Huntington, son Of
the late Coils P. Huntington. the rail-
road magnate. who has given $4,000
to the prize fund; Franklin K. Lane,
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion, and Dick Ferris, who is well
known on Broadway, New York, and
In aeronautical circles is familiar as
the owner of the two spherical bal
looms, United States and America.
The park for the meeting Of spher-
ical balloons, many Of which are ex-
pected, Is near the center of the city
for the convenience Of obtaining cheap
gas.
For the aeroplane contests the Lucky
Baldwin ranch, an old race track at
Santa Anita, within reach Of the city
by the street trolley service, has been
selected. The spot Is an ideal one. 1t
is In the center of a great plain, thou
sands of acres In extent, is surrounded
with orange and lemon groves, which
In January are at their richest hues,
with the intermingled colors Of the
fruit and foliage, and for background
1t has the sharp and beautiful contrast
Of the snow capped mountains, ten
miles away.
So far as the dif1culty Of weather
goes, there is little likelihood Of inter-
ference. The records of thirty years
show that the highest wind at Los
Angeles has amounted to only 81 miles
per hour.
In addition to Curtiss and Willard
and two, Ii not four, other Curtiss ma
chimes, several distinguished foreign
aviators are to be present with Bleriot
and Farman aeroplanes. Among those
who came from France are Cutler,
Mason, Miscarol and Paulhan. who is
accompanied by his wife.
The prize list amounts to $4,000
and will be divided among aeroplanes,
dirigible and spherical balloons.
