I assist England in making war against
( Germany (Signed) Ben Tillett.
The subject was brought up by Tiuett
at a labor meeting in Hyde Park when
be uttered strong invectives against
Lord Weardale and the other members
Of the peace mission to the United
as well as against Andrew Car
negie- These met with frantic apprO-
baton He said:
There never was more mischievOus
I or corrupt mission sent from this
! country"
He declared: TT is financed by
/ Carnegie gold which comes from the
sanguinary imbrued hands of a man
! who crucified labor at Homestead.
I The whole population Of the British
Isles is anti-German, but stand for
my German comrades and I demand
that the comrades Of our movement
shaH Icsnt the selfish conspiracy OF
I these so called patriOts-the KruppS
CT Germany and the battleship makers
Of this COuntry-under the guise of
peace to foment war and all the horrors
hich arise out Of the blood lust Of the
capitalists
The British delegation 10 the United
States for the celebration of the Anglo
American peace centenary may en-
counter same hostile demonstrations.
Suffragette as well as labor leaders
are appealing to American women to
denOunce any friendly dealings be-
tween the two countries until England
gives the vote to the women. The Op-
pOnents Of the peace mission predict
that its public appearance will provoke
outbreaks such as occurred at the
peace meeting at Carnegie Hall in
December, 1911, in support Of the rat
ificatiOn Of the arbitration treaties
pending between the United States,
Great Britain and France.
The English labor unions held meet
ings, as is their custom, in Hyde Park.
Representatives Of the German unions
paraded with them for the first time
and both England and German speak
ers denounced the Carnegie mission"
General Mrs. Flora DrummOnd,
one Of the leaders of the militant Suf-
fragettes who was arrested recently,
succeeded in smuggling out of jail to
a friend a message for the American
suffragettes. This message, which
later was cabled to the WOmen's Suf-
frage Union Of New York, was as fol-
lows:
"Cornegie's so called peace delegates
are nearing your shores None Of them
has raised a voice against the torture
Of women in English prisons. The
Tory members OF Parliament among
them won their seats on a "sink-the
German-navy policy. They have all
voted against home rule. Suffragettes,
Irshmen and Germans organize a ma
tiOnaI boycott against these war pro-
vOkers-"
Mrs Scott Troy. the san Francisco
suffragette, sent a cablegram to SEN
ator O'BOrman at Washington, say
ing:
II the senate will investigate Car
negie's peace fund they may find an
olive branch wrapped around a sword.
We hope that the senate will not at
tend the functions given in honor OF
the peace delegates, who dictate to
Americans that they must rewrite their
history to save English feeling and
sully the fair name of George Wash
ingtOn."

LABOP,s MEMORIAL sUNpAY.

Progress IN civilization is the result
of the ideals, efforts and accomplish
ments of men and women who have
done the worlds work. What we are,
and have, is largely the heritage Of
the years that preceded US. All
through the ages there have been men
and women working for humanity,
often toiling that others might reap
the harvest. 1t is in memory Of such
who worked for truth and humanity
that the 1907 convention of the
American Federation Of Labor set
apart each year the second Sunday in
Nay as Labor Memorial Sunday.
We need frequently to remind our
selves of duties and obligations in OF
der to keep the spirit appreciative OF
the past, alert to the present and per
sistent for the future.

DIES MONIES, March 1S.-The SEN
ate of the Iowa legislature has passea
the Cowles bill providing for the es-
tablishment of system of pensions
for the teachers in the public schools
of Iowa. The measure carried by a
vote of 33 to II.
Adoption by the senate came fol-
lowing the passing of an amendment
introduced by Mates of Sac county.
The bill now provides for an appro-
priation of 100000 for each Of five
years, making total Of 100000 as
the states share of the annuity FUND
Among those who opposed the
measure were Doran of Boone, Smith
OF Shelby and Weber of Wapello. In
addressing the senate they declared
1t to be an unwise measure, tending
to place burden upon the teachers
by forcing them to contribute to the
pension fund.
Senator Doran declared that adop
ton of such measure would result
In lax and inefficient service from the
public school teachers for the reason
that they would be sure of the flu
ture.
