Socialist CITY Administrations.

Records Being Compiled.-The in
formation department is carefully col
lecting as rapidly as possible com
plete record of the work of the socialist
administrations.
The department hopes to get every
official document, report and all ma
terial of any Importance of all of the
socialist administrations. Will COM
rades in official positions kindly take
note and send to the department what
ever material of this kind they may
have on hand? 1t will be carefully
classified, catalogued and indexed in
the Information Department and kept
for future reference.
We have collected some material in
previous years relative to the earlier
administrations by the socialists in
Haverhill, Massachusetts, and are
especially anxious to get further in
formation from these earlier admins
trations.
State Constitutional Conventions.
Several inquiries have been received
from comrades in states which are
about to hold state constitutional con-
ventions. Material is desired bearing
upon the work of the socialists in
states where constitutional conven-
ventions have been held. The depart
ment has on hand and can supply
copies of proposed constitutions and
constitutional amendments and other
material, on the work of the socialists
in Arizona and Ohio particularly
Other material and suggestions along
these lines are requested. Comrades
who are able to do SO should submit
material along these lines.
How the Capitalists Get Possession of
Public Utilities.
The following was sent to us by
Comrade Timothy Walsh of New
York:
"Wall street bankers take over pub
lie utilities of all kinds, sometimes by
using credits of banks which they con-
troll and pay for same in checks, which
in turn are deposited in their banks,
so really not cent is shown in the
entire transaction.
1--WE have often followed the above
method in acquiring industrial corpor-
atoms also, but then again companies
are organized to take over public
utilities and industrial concerns by
offering stocks in both instances for
public subscription, when, of course,
Tom, Ned and Bills (cash) is actu-
ally handed over to bankers financing
same.
"The first method is always en-
ployed when the proposition is to be
a closed corporation and the second
when they want the public to carry
the green goods.
"Of course, the establishment by the
United States of its own credit sys-
TEN and developing OF its own banks
would enable the people to do every
thing the Wall street highbinders are
doing today"

MOTHER IS PENSIONS.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-The moth
er's pension bill, providing for a mini
mum pension of $40 month for moth
ers having one child dependent upon

THE CORRECT VIEW OF THE
REVOLUTION.

The revolution of 1776 was to a
large extent civil and not a national
war. Over $4,000 Americans enlisted
IN the British army, a considerably
larger number than ever served under
Washington.
Nor did England offer a united op-
position. Lord Howe, who was given
command of the British troops in the

The mission of the international So

the workers, not the finding of jobs
