TX. A Menace to Organization. j.
:, 'sThe words, General Strike" says
Jules Guesde, have already done
much harm. General Strike And
. they organize no more. General
Strike! And they vote no more!"
The explanation of much of the ill
temper and bitterness, which arises
whenever a discussion of General
Strike takes place in Labor circles,
: lies in the brief statement of ,Guesde.
Both Socialists and Trade Unionists
are geneuinely tolerant upon all
creeds as to the future. Society. One
may believe almost anything concern
ing The New Time, and yet find him
self acceptable to his comrades. One
may be State Socialist, a Commun-
list, an Anarchist, indeed almost any
thing that stands for change in the
existing order of things, but no one
will fly into rage at the mention OF
his faith. If one seeks discussion,
one can always find-sit without heat
and without bitterness. But the mo-
ment men in the world of Labor diff
fer as to tactics, they fight, often
with violence and malice that seem
incredible.
: Yet this is exactly what must hap
pen. The future will not be deter
mined by our controversies of today.
Whether or not man will have money
then or government. or a tWo-hOur
day cannot be decided by us now.
But the path we are to take to reach
our destination is an immediate,
pressing matter that must be decid-
ed now. None of us wishes to lose
time, or to take the wrong road.
None of us wishes to see the armies
of Labor floundering about in roads
that lead nowhere. Whether or not,
therefore, we shall organize Political
Parties, Trade Unions, and Co-opera-
tives is a vital matter. The outlines
of the future state which we make
today we may amend tomorrow. But
the tactics which involve today
march cannot be put off. Necessity
forces us to make a decision. 1t is
not strange, therefore, that Trades
.Unionists and Socialists quarrel when
one group underestimate the value
OF the other, and that both Unionist
and Socialist turn with rage upon the
Syndicalist, when the latter says:
"You are wasting your lives The

SOCIALISTS CELEBRATE
!, NATIONAL WOMAN'S DAY

To the average voter one of the
most remarkable phases Of the Ameri-
can Socialist Party is its increased
advocacy and support Of the suffrage
movement. Special committees and
departments have been created in
state and national organizations.
In order that greater attention may
be devoted to the education of poten-
tial women voters, classes in civics,
economics and politics have been or
ganized, social centers have been Gre
ated, and now that their latest move
is the setting aside of February % as
National WOman's Day.
On this day every man and woman,
every official lecturer and lay-mem-
Der will celebrate. Millions Of leaf
lets will be distributed. The entire
Socialist Party will think, sing, talk
and work for the Industrial and polit-
ical freedom, of women.
Local Socialists viii celebrate.

"MEDICAL PROFESSION
MANIPULATING ITSELF

BOSTON, April 24.-"The medical

which this is true" said Professor
Frederick c. Shattuck in addressing
a meeting yesterday of Harvard stu
dents contemplating a medical course.

tinued, hundreds of doctors are
working to destroy disease altogether
and the process. though gradual, is
having it's effect. In the future we
won't need as many doctors as we
need today. for the physicians of the
present day themselves are reducing
the need for doctors, and the modern
eonveniences which spring up each
day make doctors less and less neces-
sary.

affairs approaching, no man who in

Marines SECRETARY
GETS $3.50 EXPERIENCE
Aranoff Cashes Check for Glib
Stranger.
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank BLDG

WASHINGTON, April "a.
Arrest of a we'll dressed and plaus-
ible young man who has tried to
swindle several members of Congress
by various games has disclosed a
story of how Joseph Aranoff, secre-
tary to Senator James E. MARITIME, OF
New Jersey, was done" out of $3.50
by the same glib stranger a few
weeks ago.
The man, who when arrested to-
day, gave his name as Henry M.
Thornton, called at Senator Marines
office while the senator was on. the
floor of the Senate and showed
Aranoff a letter from firm Of Jer-
sey City lawyers. in which he was
referred to in fattering terms.
As he opened the letter check fell
out. 1t was a cashiers check drawn
on the Second National Bank of Or
ange, n. J., and as 1t seemed so good
and the mans credentials so genuine,
Aranoff did not hesitate to take 1t
to the office of the disbursing clerk
of the Senate and get it cashed.
A few days later the check came
back, with a lellef ueeldIlhS II W 10
a forgery, and Aranoff put up the
money to make it good.
When a Georgia congressman noti-
fed the police that an attempt was
being made to flim-nam him, which
he had discovered by accident, the
police sent for Aranoff, and with a
detective he went to the Georgia
mans office and identified the
swindler as the same man for whom
he had cashed the check. The man is
now in iail here. Fl. r. w.

SUFFRAGE RESOLUTION
MAY WIN IN THE SENATE

WASHINGTON. April 24-Members
of the Senate woman suffrage COM
mittee have practically decided that
one of the several resolutions before
the committee to amend the consti-
tuition to give women the ballot will
be reported favorably at the present
session. If the tariff is kept before
the finance committee for several
weeks the resolution will be brought
up in the Senate by Chairman
Thomas and determined effort made
to pass it, Tariff or currency legts-
lation may interfere with the suffrage
resolution. In that case it would go
over until December.
The suffrage committee has prac-
tically completed its hearings and ex-
poets to wind them up on Saturday,
when DR.. Mary Walker and leaders
of the "votes for women" cause will
be heard.

SCIENTISTS PLAN FOR
A DAY OF PLEASURE

WASHINGTON, April 24.-After
two days of consideration and discus
sion of weighty subjects, delegates to
the National Academy of Sciences
were prepared to give today largely
over to play. Election of officers for
the coming year and the transaction
of routine business were on the pro-
gram. This out of the way, however,
the savants had planned to spend the
remainder of the day in sightseeing.
Secretary Daniels offered the scien-
lists the use of the navy yacht May
flower for trip down the Potomac
river to Mt. Vernon, where they will
pay homage at the tomb of Washing
ton. The trip will not be made until
late in the afternoon.

CHICKENS AND EGGS
CAUSE HIS DOWNFALL

Eight live chickens and two dozen
eggs make quite a handful for any
man to carry at one and the same
time But Gerard Tetoia, II years
old, of 81 Nassau street, must have
thought he could do it. At any rap,
he was held in $500 bail by Acting
Judge Oehring in the Second Pre-
cinct Police Court today on charge
of entering and larceny.
James Woodhouse, of 257 Washing
ton avenue, heard some indications
of undue excitement coming from his
chicken coop early last night. He
telephoned to the Second precinct and
Policemen Schwartz and McKenna
arrived in time to arrest Tetoia,
whom they allege was leaving with
eight chickens and two dozen eggs.

SHERIFF WEDIN HITS
WILSON JURY STAND
Isnccial to the NeMark stand

JERSEY CITY, N. j., April "a
Sheriff N. Peter Wedin, anticipating
the coming into this city of President
Wilson in his campaign for judge
made jufies, took the former New
Jersey Governor to task last night for
his attitude. Sheriff Wedin's remarks
were made at dinner of the Hudson
County Grand Jury for the December
term, recently discharged, and they
created rounds of applause. At the
Baltimore convention Mr.. Wedin wos
one of the delegates at-large who
worked hard for the nominate IN Of
Woodrow Wilson, and he affirmed last
night that he was not only a Demo
crat, but a "Wilson man.
1.-THE Democratic party is facing a
critical PERIOD said Sheriff Wedin.
1.-THE President of the United States
is coming to Jersey City next Friday
night. Can it be possible he is COM
ing to get ideas about drawing grand
juries? Oh, mol He's coming here
for the purpose of trying to manufac-
ture public feeling and to make
people think with his brain and see
with his. eyes.
President Wilson, when Governor
of New Jersey. had an idea about
drawing grand juries. This idea
was framed into a bill and this bill
was submitted to the Legislature.
The Legislature failed to pass it and
what next do we find? Senator
Davis, of Salem County, rushes off to
Washington and urges President Will
son to come to New Jersey and whip
and lash the Legislators into line.
Mr. Wilson is coming here to
make an address. We are all going
up to hear him. He will give us a
learned talk on jury reform. Don't
let any of us dare to disagree with
him. When the President was Gov
ernor he found he could not put
through the bill he wanted, and he
was willing to take another and an
other but he didn't get any.
81 am a Wilson man, am Demo-
crat, but l insist as a Democrat that
President Wilson is not great
enough man to say who are the good
Democrats in the Legislature and
who are the bad ones.
~You can't better grand juries UNI
| less you better mankind. President
| Wilson is not the man to better man
kind"

LAS. MATTHEWS WAS
FOR A REFERENDUM

TRENTON, N. j., April 24.-When
Governor Fielder was informed that
Assemblvman James Matthews, OF
Passaic, had denied making any prom
Use to him that he would vote at the
coming special legislative session IN
favor of a jury bill without refer
endum, the governor sought to convey
the impression that, during the last
session of the Legislature, Mr. Mat
thews had opposed a bill having
referendum clause. The governor
mentioned the bill which came over
to the House from the Senate with
out a referendum and then passed the
bill in its changed form by vote Of
Al to 49,
The roll call on the passage of .aat
bill with a referendum shows that
Mr. Matthews voted aye, rs did al
of his colleagues from 2assaic, a fact
which turns the tables on the Gov
ernor, for if Mr. Matthews had been
opposed to the principle of a refer
endum, he would certainly have voted
in the negative when 1t came to the
final passage of the bill in its
amended form.
This was the Davis bill, which the
House acted upon March 10, and tn
which the Senate never gave any
further consideration after that ac-
ton. 1t provided for the appoint
ment of jury commissioners by the
Governor, and the House members be-
llieved that if any such opportunity is
that was to be given to the executive
to build up vast political machine
of State wide proportions, the people
ought first to have the chance to
express by their ballot their desire
for such change.

bill was passed in the House with a

TRENTON, n. J.. April "a. - The
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers today handed down a memoran-
dunn ordering the Public Service Rail-
way Company to make several
changes in its trolley lines to meet
traffic conditions in Jersey City. The
municipality lodged a general com
paint against the service afforded by
the company.
The commission orders the company
to reroute in part many of the lines
operating in Jersey City, and to
change the schedules of many lines
to admit of greater accommodation
during rush hours. Some of the COM
plants made by the city, the inves-
LEGATION of the commission showed,
were not substantiated.
As for Jersey Citys own part in
making the new traffic rules effective
the board expresses the opinion that
the city government of Jersey City
can assist very materially in main
tanning efficient transit conditions in
the city, stating in this connection
that the policing of streets so as to

Jersey City. Traffic ordinances should
permit regular car stops to be made
at the near or far side of street
