Emil Seidel Says Prgudices
Against Socialism Disappearing

Emil Seidel, Socialist vice presiden-
tial candidate, who has addressed au-
diences in almost all of the northern
states, east of the Mississippi river
during the past three months, believes
that some of the worst and most deep
" imbedded prejudices of the Ameri-
can voters on Socialism are disappear
ing.
He statedA that during all of his
meetings Swinging around the circle"
recently, he was never asked the an
cient and honorable questions:
If you divide all the wealth. of the
world equally among the people, how
will you keep it from again passing
into the hands of the men who have
the wealth now?
Will Socialism break up the family?
Does not Socialism stand for free love
and are not Socialist writers on rec
ord to that effect?
Is it not true that Socialism Is op-
posed to religion?
Doesn't Socialism stand for anarchy
and violence and tearing down? =
These moss covered inquiries that
have so long served to interrupt in
telligent discussion of economic issues
are now being RELOCATED to limbo and
consigned to deep forgetfulness of
| darkness sand oblivion.
There was one exception, says Sci
del. I none city, at the close of the
speech, a voice piped up asking:
Doesn't Socialism stand for free
lover" Afterward it was learned that
the Questioner was a Socialism who
thought some Of the audience needed
] enlightenment on the point.
During the past two weeks cam
paign in Wisconsin, during which
Seidel entered cities in all parts of
the state, he noted particularly this
new attitude toward the Socialist
movement, Seidel has spoken in many
1 Wisconsin cities during the last four
teen years of the Social-Democratic
party in this state, and is familiar
with the temper and attitude of Wis
consin people toward the working
i class party. And where formerly
4 there were many curiosity seekers and
also a certain proportion who came
to SCOT and to embarrass the speaker
and the meeting, there is now a sill
renee and thoughtfulness on the
Lpart of the audiences.
SThere can be no doubt" said Sci
del, "but that large numbers of peo-
pie are now sinking seriously about
Socialism. And these are people who
formerly took an attitude of curiosity
or amused tolerationL They are now
beginning to wonder if they belong
Ianywhere else politically except in
the Socialist movement. This desire
to learn about Socialism, this thirst
for more knowledge about some way
to handle the big problems of the day
can be seen on the very faces of peo-
pie"

WANDERING STREET CARS


Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 3.-There is a
street car strike in this city, and it
has assumed a humorous phase. As
is well known, wherever street car
companies employ strike breakers, no
discipline is possible. The prospects
of participating in a strike as a strike
breaker appeals to the evil minded
from the fact that it means the handl=
ing of at least some cash without be-
ing held responsible for a strict &C.
counting. In Duluth, however, the
strike breakers are having consider
able sport by running the cars wher-
ever they see f1t,, turning down first
one street and then another, so that
passengers have no assurance in talk
ing their usual cars that they will
reach their destination, except by a
circuitous route. Intoxicated crews
have been reported, and in one in
stance the police forced two men to
leave their car. at the barn, and one
strike breaking motorman was arrest
ed for speeding car through the city.
This is another instance of the incon-
sideraiton and absolute disregard of
street car companies to the interest of
the public.

FRAUDULENT LABELS

Erie, Pa, Oct. 3.-Two well known
merchant tailors, doing , business in
this city, are each under 81, 600 bail to
appear before the constituted authori.
ties to answer charges for the fraudu-
lent use of union labels. The two
men were arrested pursuant to infor-
nation filed by the president of the
local Journeymen Tailors' Union. The
Central Labor Union is assisting, and
is determined that a stop shall be
put to the illegal use Of the. union
label. practice which, it is declared,
has been in vogue in this city for
years. Numerous complaints have
been received of non-union tailoring
shops placing the union label of the
Garment Workers and Tailors in cloth
ing. Efforts>have been made hereto
fore to secure necessary evidence to
insure the conviction of the law viola
tors, but up to recently have been un-
successful. It is now believed THAT
sufficient evidence has been secured
to warrant conviction which will eff
fectually stop the Illegal use Of the
labels in this city in the future.

Harmony Meet

The Harmony Committee met last
Friday and accepted two new mem
bers, John Becker and Leo ]. LaF1am,
succeeding G. R. Hubbard and c. H.
Gallagher. The committee decided to
use its best efforts to bring peace in
the LaBelle box factory and Imperial
packing room strikes, appointing lin
the first instance a subcommittee {of
LaF1am, Brennan and Bowers, and in
the latter instance writing both sides,
asking them to appear befor the
Harmony committee. It was decided
to participate in the Halloween cele-
braion with a float, and sub4commit-
tee of A. W. Paul. H. W. Gee and
John Coleman were appointed PreSi-
dent Colvig and Secretary. Rennard
reported on the recent Charleston con-
ference, and saw good results in it.
Garfield local of the Stogie Makers
had a committee present their side
of the controversy brought before the
committee by the Little Pet Sogie

UNIONS PAY DIVIDENDS


Washington, D. c., Oct. BY
reducing the report of Secretary
Frank Duffy to the convention of
the United Brotherhood of Car
penters, now in session in this
city, to definite accomplishments,
it is a revelation. While it is
impossible to reach an absolute
~ accurate result, yet the report
is not difficult of approximation.
Nearly all of the local unions have
reported an increase in wages and
shortening of hours wherever this
result has been attained. Trade
movements of the carpenters have
been general, and in simplifying
the report it is found that in
large number of cities there has
been an average increase in the
daily wage, taking into considera-
ton the shortening of hours with
out reduction in pay, OF. 1874 cents.
On an approxipAted membership
of 100000 this yields an advance
in wages of $76,800 per day. CON-
puted on 800 working days in the
year, this increase yields $22,631,-
200 as record for one year. When
it is taken into consideration that.
the total sum expended by the
Brotherhood in the year under con
sideration was only SOL, 166.67, it
is revealed that the United Broth
erhood of Carpenters is paying a
dividend to its members unpar-
alleled by any corporate body en-
gagged in the mercantile or any
other. business in the entire world.
It is an argument in favor Of the
organization of the Workmen that
cannot be controverted.

FACE CRISIS
IN MEXICO
Another Sharp Note Of Warn
inc Will be Sent.

Washington. Dec. 2l.-The extreme
r avity of the situation that will cou
front the Wilson administration on
March 4 through its inheritance of the
Mexican trouble became evident when
the latest phase of the relations be
tween this government and Mexico
was disclosed. The nearness of the
retirement of President Taft has made
1t apparent here that there will he no
change in the policy of this govern
ment toward Mexico during the re.
manning two months of the present adj
m~inistration. The president and his
advisers will continue to deal with the
situation with patience and forbear
ance and to give moral support to the
regularly constituted authority in Mex
Eco.
1t is felt that It would be highly i'm
proper for the Taft administration to
take any action between now and
March 4 that would burden the incom
ing administration with the necessity
Of carrying on military operations
against its will. Yet 1t is frankly ac-
knowledged that conditions In Mexico
are worse than ever before. 1t Is ad-
mitted that a situation beyond which
the United States could O with sell
respect endure more Is nearer nov than
three months ago. when a sharp note
Of warning was sent to Mexico. Mex.
ico's reply to that note is unsatisfac
tory and requires that another note be
sent to President Madero In the imme-
date future.
It Is certain that this note will bt
even less agreeable to the Mexican
government han WAS President Taft's
