SPEAKER M'ARTHUR.
Continued from page ~

astonished the steam roller leaders
Their attempted action was so raw
that even Olson, Latourette and Lof-
gren, all of Multnomah, and strong
machine lieutenants, refused to have
anything to do with the plot and de-
nounced 1t to the other leaders as dan
gerous and liable to become a boom
erang not only to the machine, but to
the Republican party Of oregon.
Upton made the motion to reconsid-
er, and Reames at once raised the
point Of order, aided by Eaton, schue-
bel and other Republicans, that under
all rules Of parliamentary procedure
the bill, having once been reconsidered
could not again be reconsldcred with
out being amended. Upton and other
machine speakers contcnded that the
house could make It's own rules The
l"ht was one of the most bitter of the
session and was full of personal filings,
personalities charges and counter.
charges and parliamentary plays,
Before Speaker Macarthur could give
a ruling, Reames demanded call Of
the house and almost an hour was
spent in waiting while the sergeant
alarms summoned in all the absent
members who We're in town
The last man to be brought in was
Bclland Of Clatsop, who was pulled out
Of a sick bed.
In the meantime Macarthur, Upton
and others Of the steam roller crowd
appalled, at the furorc they had raised
and fearing the consequences both to
the legislature and the Republican
party had hurrlodly conferred at the
last moment Then Upton resumed
his place on the floor, the house was
called to order, and Upton withdrew
his reconsideration motion In the in
forests Of harmony The steam roller
had turned n complete nip-nop. The
high tension was relieved. There was
general applause from members and
lobby.
Then to crown the machines foolish
exhibition Speaker Macarthur took the
floor and in a brancss speech, de-
cIrcd that the bin was the most
damnable, pcrnlclous piece Of lcglsla-
tIon ever passed He roasted the Re-
publican majority as being thin
Skinned Republicans" for refusing to
give a Democratic governor such an
immense power by speaking thus
Macarthur showed plainly that the MAJ
chine had regarded the issue as a
purely political one and had lost sight
of the moral question involved
McArthur's speech reacted on him
self and the splendid record he has
made as speaker during this session.
Many Republican members took UNI
bragg at being called thin skinned Re-
publlcans.
In general It can be said that the
house organization stands dscredltcd
and would be smashed to pieces If the
session lasted few day longer, 1t Is
even divided in It's own ranks and oil
win not now make It run smooth.

ORGANIZATION
GOLD BAR, WASH.

Editor Commonwealth
Dear Comrades will report to you
what Local Gold Bar has been doing
Tor the last three months, beginning
May Is. We have since then dis
tributed seven hundred leaflets, one
hundred propaganda cards, one hun
drcd and fifty Commonwealth, and
taken in three new members We
have also taken a few subscriptions
for the Commonwealth, Appeal to Rea-
son and the National Ripsaw. These
are our main stays in the line of sub
scriptions, yet we have our troubles.
The greatest trouble with our local is
to get the members to attend local
meetings; they seem to think one
member should be the whole show.
Can any one suggest a remedy for the
poor attendance If so out with 1t
for that is the only weak spot in our
local. The comrades are free with
their money, honest in their inten-
lions, but slack in attendance.
Yours for the social revolution,
RUFUS WREN.

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF
ALL REVOLUTIONARY OR
CARNATIONS ADVOCATED
BY G. E. KLINE.

Before the last national convention
of the socialist party, the subject of
war was very much discussed. But
since the adoption of the policy of po-
litical action as dogma of socialism
to be strictly observed, it has been
generally believed that the revolution
would be accomplished in peace, or
without war. But our hopes and fears
rest entirely upon our social and eco
nomic evolution, and as there is abso-
lutely no principle in the class struggle
that is inclined toward peace we
should not allow ourselves to be mis-
led by false conceptions. But having
done so we are once more haunted by
the specter of war. We do not want
war because we are afraid of its dis
astrous result. But the scientific eX-
PLANTATION for the evolution of all the
phenomena of nature is war, for plant
devours plant, beast devours beast and
man devours man.
Then how are we to accomplish the
greatest revolution the world has ever
known without yielding to this law of
nature? 1t is no longer question as
to how we are going to prevent war,
but it is now time to organize the
whole revolutionary element into one
recognized party, and thus be prepared
for war. 1t is an obvious fact that II
the revolutionary element as a whole
wins in the end the content between
the victorious parties for constitutional
supremacy would be as disastrous as
as that between the revolutionary and
the bourgeoise parties. For example,
if the revolutionary element were to
fraternize during the action of revo-
lution-which would be natural CO.
hesion of without a recognized
constitution embracing the entire
combination of the revolutionary
parties, we would on the establish
ment of the new regime be confronted
with the difficulty to decide which
party constitution or platform should
be adopted.
While on the other hand, if the en-
tire revolutionary element, for in
stance, the socialist party, the l. w. w.
party, the socialist labor party and
the revolutionary unions could be or
ganized under one constitution and
one platform, we would not only have
definite object to aim at, but we
would also dominate in numbers and
means over our enemies.
Although the l. w. w. have no bal
lot of their own at present, obviously
they are awaiting the time when they
will have reached the proper stage OF
strength and popularity for demanding
one. It is this division of parties in
the proletarian class that the capital
list class is so anxious to uphold, as il
prevents our fraternal action in revo-
lutionary matters.

It is now high time for us 10 put
aside all prejudice of party tactics and
principles, and join hands with our
brother workers in the great conflict
that is to come.
The Yellow faction of the socialist
party who uphold political action as
the one dominant principle of the
social revolution, is opposed to in
dutsrial action of the I. W. W., but any
one who is learned in the socialist
philosophy knows that industrial1sm
is Synonymous with economics, which
is the prime factor of the entire reVo-
lutionary movement Therefore, the
Il. w. w. represent an important
part of the socialist movement, while
the socialist party has allowed itself
to be led by it's Fellows into the most
insignificant part of the movement
which it calls political action. Now
as socialism is the liberal considera-
tion-if not the adoption-of all things,
it is erroneous to assume that it should
uphold only one function while an
other party is allowed to claim to Guilt
vate the most vital organ of it's move
ment
We have only to scan the pages of
history to find that all of the attempt
ed revolts of labor over capital failed
because the people were not organized
under one constitution before revolt
ing. And are we not to profit by the
experience of our fathers? The policy
of the democratic leaders is to fra
ternize all classes outside of the revo-
lutionary element into one body OF
strong class consciousness, by encour-
aging a belief in business prosperity
among them. And by proclaiming the
orthodox superstition that every man
with ability is able to rise from pow
erty to wealth and glory, they are
also trying to tear down the high and
lofty aim of the new social philos-
ophv. and to re-establish the horrible
mental and physical misery of the
PurltanlSIn OIL d nuluISu yCalo "SO'
when America was the burning hell
of slavery and torture for the laboring
class. Now that our enemies are gath
ering all of their kind together to OPP
pose us, we must keep pace with them
and draw all of our kind together, that
we may stand up ready to meet them
But it would be worse than folly for
MS to meet them in battle while we
are divided into parties, no matter how
strong one party may be.
The class struggle is becoming more
bitter every day, and the horrible
atrocities of capitalism that are now
being waged upon us are merely the
introduction of what is to come. 1t is
therefore the duty of every think
ing socialist TO advocate a national
up of delegates representing every
convention in the United States, made

movement, with the object Of de-
termining the course of the revolution
