LOCAL EVERETT NO. 1 MAKES
PLANS FOR A BIG
RED WEEK.

Continued from Page One.)
party members, but who do not now
belong to the organization. There are
over $4,000 Socialist voters in the state
of Washington who do not carry Red
Cards. Let's roll up our sleeves, the
whole four thousand of us that are in
good standing from both organizations,
and go after those other fellows ham
mer and tongs for just one week to
put them where they belong
Here are a few pointers that will
hand some of them the solar plexus
wallop:
Show the people Who's Who. Wear
our red Socialist party button during
the entire week. Carry extra buttons
to stick on the new Socialists. Show
the timid ones that there are A LOT
OF US.
Make every active member pay up
his dues (of course).
| Make list of all delinquent mem
bers from the locals old books Go
cunning for them. Camp on their trail
till they pay up or join again as new
members. Make every old warhorse
get back into the harness before the
week Is up.
Scalp every married comrade whose
wife is not a member. Go see them
hot Lot drro1
stamp. Many will join.
Try to lasso every reader of Social
list papers, every signer Of the eight
hour petition and every voter Of our
ticket at the primaries Hobble them
and then explain to them what's what.
DO ditto to all those that celebrate
Labor Day.
Have at least one house-to-house dis
tribution OF leaflets.
! Arrange some social, picnic, cele-
bration or anti-war demonstration at
least once during Socialist Week"
child in the state who doesn't hear
from us. Wind up with a special or
ganization meeting Sunday, Septem-
Der 10.
/ Hunt up every piece of old Socialist
pamphlets or papers that are lying
around your house or around Socialist
headquarters, and distribute every bit
of it among the heather.
Lend every Socialist book that you
have in your library to neighbors and
shop mates for this one week.
Sprinkle them a little that way and
watch them grow.
Every one secure at least one new
subscription for some Socialist paper.
Every member get member.
If there is an unorganized point
nearby with some possibilities, have
some of your Invest members visit it
to organize a new local there during
the week I'll gladly send you sup
plies from the state office upon re-
quest, and shall help you by mail from
here if you'll send me the names and
addresses of the prospects.
Bring this entire matter up at your
next local meeting and decide upon the
best methods for your community for
Socialist Week." Divide the direc-
ton of different tasks among those
best fitted for them and then let every
member, as the Appeal once put it,
either FISH, CUT BAIT or BAIL"

WHO COULD STAND IT?

A means of carrying on a labor
strike was seen in Salem, Mass, where
girl striker stood on the sidewalk
opposite the window where the strike
breakers were working and made faces
at them.

uated with the degree OF Bachelor OF
Arts In 1901 and with the degree OF
Bachelor of Laws and Literature In
1sO2. He was Immediately admitted
TO the. bar and practiced with his
father from that time until the death
OF the latter, on December 2, 1913.
AT the time OF the sons admission TO
the bar the father had associated
with him Mr.. s. r. Glasscock. and the
son therefore became a member OF

Later Mr.. Glasscock withdrew to form

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

iitieal issue. judging by the almost
equal alignment Of the parties as
shown by the House vote.
All intelligent men agree that tenn
perance is a highly desirable thing.
but unfortunately there il a wide dis
agreement as to the best means of
promoting IL. The radical thought OF
the country runs to prohibition. while
conservative advocates OF temperance
believe that the most effective encour.
agement to sober living is through To-
cal option. Operative local option
and enforced prohibition have been
tested In many States. and the results
are contrastingly in favor OF the for
mer for the nearest approach to a pro-
hibition that prohibits. In our own
State. with the most drastic laws
against the liquor traffic Of any State
in the Union. we have daily been re.
minded OF the futility OF absolute in
hioition under absolute prohibition.
Most OF the speeches made in the
House on both sides were carefully
phrased for national and home CON
sumption. Representative Adamson.

NOT A SQUARE DEAL

Are the railroads OF tm, country being paid too much or too little
for ransportating the United States mail, queries the Atlanta Constnu-
ton. Involving a It does a square deal from the government to the
roads, and from the roads to the government, the question i, a leading
one. But so lar as any official and judicial information is concerned,
both congress and the country are as much i'll the dark as ever For
a long time the railroads have been insisting that they are radically
under paid. y year ago, or more, congress appointed a bipartisan and
evenly balanced committee to investigate the subject. Before this tri-
bunal the roads came submitting exhaustive data But just when it
became evident that they might make Ill their case, the committee
was by some mysterious process. discharged. Almost simultaneously
there appeared in the house the "Moon' bill, which took the position
that the railroads had been paid too much and that their compensation
should be further sliced. That is the status of the matter, and to say
the least Of it, the railroads, have not been given a square deal in the
latest turn.
If the roads are being overpaid, We should know it from a judicial
sorrCr If they are being undcrpaid, We should know that too. The
government cannot afford to take service for nothing, eve from a rail
road, That savors too much of conGscauon. To this end there is no
reason why the commission that began the mail probe should not
include and make its report % congress. Thus, there would be gained
a II accurate basis of pay.
1t should not be forgotten that while the addition of the parcel post
feature % the service has vastly increased the demands on the carriers,
their rate OF pay has remained stationary. We do not believe the house
of representatives would p"rpctne d Wnful injustice. 1t an easily
assure equity as between the government and the roads by asking Tor
the report Of its own commission. Even Brandeis, whom n n will
accuse of fondness for railroads, has stated that, in his belief the gov
eminent is unjust in the matter Of pay
Even the railroads aree entitled to a square deal!
