The Washington Socialist Everett,
Wash.
Dear Comrades-On the 18th inst.
the Socialist party of Leavenworth
gave its first lecture in the Congress
sional campaign of 1914 An unusual
ly large and enthusiastic gathering
congregated to hear the message of
Socialism. Comrade Mrs. Kate Sadler
of Seattle was the speaker Judging
not only from our own observation, but
from the attention and the enthusiasm
of the audience during the meeting
and the comment since the meeting,
compels me to say that the modest,
firm, simple and seIf-poised makes for
her a characteristic of highest emin-
ence as a public speaker, and in every
way worthy of the time and attention
of any intelligent audience.
am yours in the revolution,

A VALUABLE RECORD.
Socialist Party Press Service.)
Washington Letter.

An exposure of the records of every
representative in congress on forty
four important roll calls is the feature
of a bulletin of the non-partisan Ma
tional Voters League, Just issued in
this city. The inner history Of the
Shiny McDermott case and McDer-
motifs connection with the National
Manufacturers association, by Lynn
Haines, secretary of the league, is a
feature of the bulletin.
The publication of these records is
causing CONSERVATION among congress-
men who are up for reelection and
who have trusted to the fact that their
constituents do not know what they
have been doing in Washington
Haines shows how many roll calls each
member lodged, how many times
each member tried to save his neck
by answering present" instead of
yea" or may" and how often mem
bers, for purely political reasons, voted
one way one year and exactly the op-
posite way the next year.
The bulletin throws a searchlight on
congress such as congress has never
experienced in its existence of 1875
years. 1t is an epitome and review Of
the important legislative history of re-
cent sessions of the house Member
ship in the league costs $100 a year
and is well worth the price for pros
pective candidates, political clubs,
locals, schools and debating societies.

absolute reliability of the league. It's

GERMAN SOCIALISTS IN
WAR TO HALT RUSSIANS
Morris HiIIquit Gets Word by Way
of HoIland-Says They'll Seek
Peace Early.

That the Socialists of Germany de-
cided to cast their lot for war when it
became certain that Germany faced
Russian invasion, was the statement
made yesterday by Morris Hillquit,
who said that the information had
come to him through Socialists by way
of Holland.
when it was seen that the general
war could not be prevented" he said,
"the Socialists decided to fight along
with Germany, rather than risk Russia
getting a foothold. Just at the time
war was declared the Socialist mem
bers of the reichstag had conference
with the German chancellor over the
menace of Russian ascendancy. Russia
is the most reactionary power in the
world and because of the situation Gre
ated by Russia being at war with Ger
many, the Socialist members of the
reichstag afterwards voted for war ap-
preparation. The Socialists are as a
matter of principle opposed to war,
but it was a choice of evils and any
thing was better than an invasion by
Russia
"While our comrades are aiding to
fight reactionary Russia" he contin-
ued, Eat the same time our comrades
in the reichstag will take the first OPP
portunity of urging a cessation of hos
tilities, if there is any chance of end
ing the war by mediation or arbitra-
ton. The fact that they are aiding
Germany against Russia does not mill
tate against the continuance of their
efforts to bring about Socialism"

Washington Letter.

Washington, d. c. Aug. 20, 1914
On the eve of the passage of the Will
son trust bills, the Wall street inter-
ests, taking advantage of the Euro
exchange, are quietly buying up stocks
and bonds in order to strengthen and
consolidate their control of capital and
credit Information of this unGer-
ground movement has come to Wash
ington through undeniably responsible
channels.
While discouraging the reopening of
the stock exchange, and thereby de-
preciating the value of stocks held by
small investors, the big powers in Wall
street are understood to be buying up
at private sales blocks of securities
which will give them control of stra-
tegic points of the big industrial cor
porations which have thus far held out
against them Only when their cam
paign of private purchase or control
has been completed will these bank
ers allow the Exchange to be re-
opened. The Exchange will not be re-
opened until the masters of capital
shall have sucked the juice out Of the
war and have secured so strong hold
that the Wilson antitrust bills, always
joke, will be seen to be utterly ridic-
ulous.
Meanwhile, of course, the small fry
of investors and business men will be
still further reduced to dependence on
the big chaps.
The same group of Wall Streeters
engaged in this movement has been
lobbying in Washington for ship sub
sidy and emergency" currency graft.

WANTS GOVERNMENT
TO SEIZE INDUSTRIES
To the American People:

TO the American People
A desperate situation confronts the
people of America
Inscriptions capitalists, using the
European war as preteXt, are increas-
ing the cost of food so that millions
are threatened with starvation.
The president of the United States
has ordered an investigation of the in.
crease in food prices, and the prosecu-
ton of those responsible for It. Such
Investigations and prosecutions have
brought no results whatsoever in the
past and are not likely to doNso now.
European governments, when con
fronted with a similar situation, real
lied that there is only one measure
that can be depended upon to bring
relief-the seizure of all plants and
industries responsible for the increase
in prices and their operation by the
government for the benefit of the PEG.
pie,
We demand that the same action be
taken Immediately in the United
States.
We demand that the government, as
an emergency measure, seize the
packing houses, cold storage ware
houses, granaries, flour mills and
such other plants and industries as
may be necessary to safeguard the
food Of the people.
Such seizure will not only benefit
the people of the United States but
also the people of Europe
When the government controls the
industries, the expectation of foods to
Europe can be prevented. The rulers
of Europe, unable to secure food for
their armies, will be forced to call off
their soldiers.
We also demand that the exporta-
ton of money and of munitions of war
to the European nations be prohibited.
The United States must not aid the
powers of Europe to continue their
fratricidal strife We call upon the
people everywhere to hold mass meet
ings and to send resolutions to the
president and congress demanding i'm
mediate and decisive action.
The need is urgent We must act.
By order of the national committee
on immediate action

FROM A COMRADE WHO
KNOWS.
Vancouver, July, 1914

Vancouver, July, 1914.
Dear Comrades-I thought l might
open the eyes of some Henry Dubs
by giving my experience with this
army business. Some fifteen years
ago l came to Vancouver, Wash, and
being a steam engineer / got two
months work at the government pump
ing station during the dry weather as
they had to run twentyfour hours a
day during the dry weather I have
worked more or less every year and
in a good many other capacities with
the exception of three years l was boy
cotted because l brought to the atten-
ton of the quartermaster some ir-
Irregularities going on in the wood and
coal department which caused an in
vestigation and some two or three men
went over the road for it. They got
rid of me before the investigation and
could not get anything to do for the
government as long as Captain Craigg
chief engineer at the pumping station
resigned and the assistant was put in
charge and l was put in his place, and
according to all customs of the govern
ment it ought to have been permanent
if l filled it competently, but in eight
months, without any notice, they sent
soldier who belonged to what they
call the service corps to take my place.
and |, at the age of so years, am kicked
out to make my living the best I can,
but still have to help pay the soldier
who took my position. Teddy the Ter
rible is the man who recommended the
service corps in the army but it is
under Wilson when the army is putting
it in practice. The Democrats always
do what the Republicans recommend,
and how long are you fool workmen
going to stand for it and vote for it?
Why is it so many working men turn
down Socialism when it is the only
thing that will help the working man?
The old parties tell you plainly they
want no change The Socialist party
is the only party that advocates a
change, and the only party that rep
resents the working class
Yours for the cooperative common
wealth,

FIRST MOVE rs MADE TO
WARD A MUNICIPAL
WATER PLANT.

We predict that the result of the
trip of our city commissioners to in
vestigate Boulder river as a source of
our city water supply will be to tell
the people we don't want it.
1t was never seriously intended that
it might be the proper source. The
only object in considering it was for
the purpose of delay until the interests
could perfect their lease on the Sultan
river supply.
You know, there is more money in
it for some people, not to have the
city own its water system. However,
we fell assured that under the present
administration every effort possible
will be put forth to bring about some
definite results.

SOCIALIST COMMISSIONER
GETS BUSY.
Capitalist Press Admits Salter Did
Work.
Capitalist Press Says License Fee for
Bartenders Is Eliminated.

Members of the Bartenders Union
this morning won their point against
the city in sanguinary battle, earn
ing a right to practice behind the ma
hogany without being compelled to pay
an annual license fee of $40 and an
other IS to a bonding company. The
only heavy firing during the oratorical
engagement at the city hall came from
Attorney J. H. MAYORS camp.
Yesterday the question of fairness
was threshed out before the city com
missioners, and the final adjustment
of the case was then promised for
this morning. The commissioners
Iacquiesced today to a plea from the
bartenders out of a spirit of fairness
to the working class, as they explained
it, though the superior court sane
toned the annual license fee and the
bonding.
Commissioner Salter offered a reso-
luton to repeal a section of the or
dinance under which the friendly ac-
ton was brought, eliminating the $40
yearly fee heretofore paid by most of
the bartenders, and acting on City
Attorney Davis recommendation, also
inserted in his resolution directions
that instead of being forced to give
the city a surety bond they would only
be asked to file personal bond with
the city clerk. The resolution carried
without dissenting vote. Bartenders
will still be compelled to appear before
the commissioners for examination be,
fore being given permits to work in
EVeretts saloons.

SOCIALIST Commissioner KILLS LICENSE graft PAYS TO HAVE WAGE TATI
SOCIALISM AT PUBLIC Elk
PENSE WHY NOT?

In recent issues of the Yakima
Daily Republic there have been erup-
lions of wrathful nature, emitting forth
poisonous fumes In the writing of
the editorials headed "rhe Need for n
Few More SHIFTS" and Socialism at
Public Expense the writer not only
shows his ignorance but ungarbs and
displays the meager capacity of his
reasoning faculties.
The writer seems to bemoan the
fact that Prof ]. Allen Smith Of the
State University has made Socialistic
declarations and that Socialism is be-
ing taught at the expense of the pub
lie.
Now isn't It just too bad that the
dear public should for once have 1t
impressed upon their minds that there
are actually men who are rendering
services for which they are being
paid; for how could the qualifications
of a professor of political economy and
social science be better demonstrated
than by his Socialistic declarations
The writer says that if the taxpay-
ers of this state had to support few
more cultured yaps like ]. Allen Smith,
head of the department of economics
and social science in the University
.e hDi
full of sunshine all the time. Far bet
ter to have a few more Allen Smiths
and less editorial writer's of the Repub.
lie type, whose dirty, lying, venomous
editorials are so polluted and so sat.
.urated with that poisonous substance,
emanating firm these would-be para.
sites, that even a decent heather can't
read them without questioning the
merits of our so-called civilization.
The writer states that he does not
object to a man being a Socialist if he
wants to, neither does he object to a
citizen hugging decisions and spouting
clap-trap if he wants to do so. and will
say nothing unless occasionally to sug-
gest easier access to the insane asy-
lum, in which case our editorial writer
should avail himself of the opportunity
of getting on the inside of such an in
stitution. Perhaps that in the near
future he will be obliged to erect an
institution of some kind for the ac-
commodation of this troglodite type,
for at no time and under no consider
alton would such damphool be toler-
ated by the inmates of an insane asy-
lum.
However, I must say that the writ
er's case is not a hopeless one, for
have seen far worse cases cured and
all marks of the disease eradicated,
and / trust that sometime in the near
future the writer may take the rem
edy that he stands so much in need of.
Fraternally yours,
F. A. LIVIN.
