liticai-action propaganda. leading in
evitably as it does. and always has,
not TO solidarity on the Industrial

ton and reaction. that it is nothing
short of treason to the wcrking-ciass

out and talk against political organi-

DUE TO GO INSANE.

Not long since 1t was stated by re-
liable medical authority that one per-
son out OF every sixteen is afflicted
with synthetic faint.
Now comes the startling discovery
in New York that the dread mental
malady paresis Is definitely traceable
to synthetic infection. This cardinal
discovery was recently made by Or.
J. W. Moore. OF the Central Islip State
hospital. working in conjunction with
Professor Noguchi, Of the Rockefeller
institute.
These two. in studying the brains
of patients who had died of general
paralysis. discovered the germ Of
syphilis In the tissues. thus establish
ing definitely the relation of syphilis
to the deadly form Of insanity known
as paresis
This means that frightfui number
of victims Of capitalist social condi-
tions are doomed to die OF paresis dur.
ing the next decade Under Socialism
the anti.sociai evil will disappear. and
happy homes take the place OF the

POLITICAL ACTION.
Would Make Strikers Deputies.

Would Make Strikers Deputies.
We had a splendid example of the
effectiveness OF political action short
time ago In Crawford county. Kansas.
There the workers elected the entire
Socialist ticket, including the sheriff.
The telegraph operators threatened to
go on strike and the railroad company
wanted protection. They went to
Sheriff Huntington and put their de-
mand for protection up to him. He
told them that they were entitled to
protection and he would see that they
got it; that he would make every
striker deputy sheriff. How differ
ent from Tuerfano and Las Animas
counties, In Colorado we have our
friends" while in Crawford county.
Kansas, we have one of our own men.
It didn't cost any more to the workers
to elect burlington than 1t did to elect
Farr and Grisham. In fact, 1t didn't
cost as much. We are paying an aw-
ful price for having elected Farr and
Grisham and Ammons-our friends.
Let us learn by these bitter and
costly experiences.-Ex.

urged the plea that IT furnishes the
only means by which all corporations
may obtain services of mon of the

that that plea In urged In good faith.
No man possesses sufficient ability to

Is the real purpose of interlocking.
Is the remedy then, prohibition of

remedy anything by changing its form
and allowing the substance to remain
The proposed measure Is childish. Al
the very most II will only compel inter-
locking directors to accomplish by
suhterfuge what they now do openly.
John Doe may at present be director
In many different corporations. Under
the proposed law he may only be n
director In one. The other directorates

his son, his second cousin, his ste.

his interest or subject to his control
Such an arrangement may not work
as smoothly or efficiently as the old
one, but IL can confer no great benefit
on any one. The effect Of the new
arrangement will be the same as the
old. One corporation will be prevented
from Offering some service to the pub

Congress does not want to apply

no other. So congressman must pre-

mn Pacific exposition in San Francisco
IN 1916. This fair Ia international. SO
are wo, aud wouldn't II be Grand to
hold an international nncampment at
san Francisco during this greatest of
worlds expositions?
Here Is our idea: Let the Socialists
of all nations establish an international
Socialist encampment to be open con
tinually during the panama-Paciflc
exposition. TO carry out this idea 1t
will he necessary To secure suitable
tract OF land easily accessible to the
fair grounds This tract should be
equipped IN b modern and sanitary
manner to accommodate our comrades
while attending the exposition.
Every thing reasonable should be
provided to make this camp inviting,
comfortable and congeniai. There
should he substantial lodging and din
Ing facilities, baths. rest rooms, IL
brary swimming pool gymnasium and
athletic grounds. Enough variety
should exist to satisfy different incli-
nations.
The success OF the camp should de-
pend only upon its patronage, and no
doubt 80 per cent OF all Socialists at
! tending the fair would make the In
ternational Camp" their headquarters.
Nor would 1t be necessarily closed to
non-Socialists. but of course the COM
rades would have preference. To be
sure IL Is probable that this camp
would develop ilto miniature Social
list city. which would supply her guests
with all reasonable comforts.
We should have a Socialist litera
ture department. a lecture hall. and
my means of propaganda that would
be deemed advisable. also an intorma
ton bureau to supply correct informa-
ton about the exposition.

almost as much to be a guest at the

At this camp, comrades OF all coun

be wonderful in further promoting
worldwide Socialist solidarity and
Strengthening Socialist fraternity all
over the world.
This affair would have worldwide

our own press. Hence small cost OF

THE TRADE UNIONS AND
THE LABOR PARTY IN
ENGLAND.

The ballots in connection with levy
ing of contributions for political pur.
poses have already been taken In the
case Of most Of the principle unions.
The British Labor party is almost en-
tirely dependent upon the organiza-
tions directly affiliated to same. The
trades act Of 1913 provides that the
funds OF trades unions may not be
used for political purposes unless over
one-haif Of the members agree to same
by ballot; every member may claim
exemption from the extra contribu-
ton. Ten trades unions in which the
ballot has already been taken have d
total membership Of about 1.b0O,0O0.
The aggregate result IL as follows:
For, $4,000: against 10000: not Vot-
ing. $4,000. 1t Is an extraordinary
fact that no fewer than 100000 miners
voted against. seeing that Il third or
the Labor party are miners represent
tatives, elected by themselves. and
further that they have achieved more
through legislation than any other
class of workers the legally regulated
working day, the minimum wage, etc.
1t Is 10 be hoped that the Indifference
and even hostility which is being dis
played IN some quarters towards the
Labor party will not lead to internal
friction or secession. This ballot
clearly emphasizes once more the i'm
portance and necessity Of thoroughly
educating the workers in those mat
tiers so nearly affecting them and their
welfare and the establishing OF seri-
Gus and powerful labor press.

THE FRENCH LABOR MOVE
MENT.

Although the trades union move.
ment in France has never been con-
sidered very strong. nevertheless there
were 5000 trades union organizations
in that country in 1912, with total
membership of 1,o27.O59, according to
the reports just published by the
French labor.ministry.
The employers. on their part, have
about the same number of organiZa-
tons l5.O46l, with total membership
og 42l.566 persons, of whom 10000
were women. The number of female
workers In the Workers Trade Union
was 96,OeS. whilst in the mixed trades
union there we're 1909.
AS may be seen from these figures.
the employers are today much better
organized. numerically, than the work
ers. in addition TO which the fact Of
their being far above the workers in
financial strength and concentration
is of very great importance. Until a
few years ago quite the opposite was
the case. and yet the employers. in a
comparatively short time. have recon-
stituted their organizations on the
lines of the German labor-killers. A
comparison between the organized in
the employers and in the workers
camp would appear to be still more in
favor of the employers, If the number
of the workers in the service of the
organized employers were given; for
the great employers are generally
much more inclined TO join their or
CARNATIONS than the smaller ones.
OF the 1,027.059 organized workers,
only a round 100000 belong to the
Free Trades Unions and the French
Trades Union Federation &C. G. IT,;
the remaining organized workers are
members of the Yellow, Christian,
Catholic. Liberal, Patriotic and such
organizations. The organizations
which al present constitute the greater
danger to the general movement are
the Christian and Catholic Trades I'm
ions. since the employers and officials
are doing their best TO further the
same because The former yellow"
Trades Unions. ONIONS of Economic
Peace" resulted in total fiasO. All
the clerics. who for the most part
hold the reins Of the movement are
also at the disposal of the employers
together with the great influence
which they WELD; whist the Free
Trades Union movement is hated and
fought Ggainst-as is the case in all
countries where the workers have
taken up ar Independent position and
have become a power in public life.

pear that the patronage would be lack
ing, but we claim that the Socialists
of the United States alone who will
visit the fair would crowd quite

ara 100000 adult Socialists in the
United States. No doubt, an excess
of per cent will attend the fair

Socialist camp. Ninety per cent of
10000 gives 10000. Divide $4,000 by
~ and We have 5000 Socialists per
month at the camp, considering the
United States only.
SURE IT WOULD BE A SUCCESS.
II the camp Is established, Socialist
fair-goers may rest assured of fra
ternai Socialist environment to well
come them 10 San Francisco, and last
but not least, there to be supplied
with first class accommodations at a
minimum cost.
This would be a magnificent ex-
ample of the practicability of co-opera-
ton. And could non-Socialist guest
in this environment escape being won
over to Socialism?
Now! All together, and the Inter
national camp" is assured. Such an
undertaking takes time to work out
the plans TO be adopted. This is none
too early. NOW IS THE TIME TO
