Pas S Resolutions
X
Against All War

Resolutions unanimously adopted by
the Socialist local of Canton, Ohio,
at a meeting held Sunday evening,
April 26th, 1914
The cause of all wars for the past
300 years among the so-called civiliz-
ed nations of the world can be trac-
ed directly to the Profit System Of
commerce and industry.
The Profits arising from commerce
and industry have caused most all Of
the fairs recorded in the history of the
world, both sacred and profane.
The workers of the world have
fought the battles, won and lost all
the victories, shed all the blood, suf-
fered all the mfseries. wounds :"
deaths, and left multitudes of widows
and orphans to mourn and suffer after
so-called peace has been restored,
while the master class have reaped a
harvest of riches fro mthe death and
devastation of the workers and ap-
propriated to themselves all the alleg-
ed glory out of such victories.
Whereas, The Naval and Military
forces of the United States are now
on the sea coasts and border lines of
Mexico and a war is about to be de-
clared against the Mexican people,
and,
Whereas, The murderous distator
usurper, Hureta, has never been recog-
nized by the government of the Unit
ed States as the president of the Re-
public of Mexico, and,
Whereas, The arrest and imprison-
ment of detachment of our sailors
and marines at Tampico is regarded
by our President and Government as
lean Government, and,
Whereas, A war between the United
States and Mexico would cause great
misery and slaughter or human lives
for an offense which our President
aud Government regard as having
been committed by an individual who
is not possessed with constituted
authority in Mexico, and,
Whereas, The Capitalist Glass of
the United States are possessed of
vast interests in lands, oil fields, pipe
lines, mines, factories and railroads
in Mexico by and through which they
are robbing the Mexican working
class of their heritage the same as
they are robbing the working class
of the United States of their heritage,

Whereas, Baser and deadlier insults

ASK 8-HOUR Day

Holyoke, Mass, April 30.-The Pa
permakers' union has registered oppo-
Gition to any further delay on the part
Of the American Writing Paper COM
pany In the adoption Of the eight:
hour system In the mills that are. not
operating under the shorter workday.
Committees reported that the officials
agreed that thirteen-hour day was
too long for men to work. and that the
eight-hour system would be put into
effect within short period, In fact,
so soon that it would surprise the
committee members themselves" The
union rejected the committees report
for the reason that these assurances
have been made by the company for
the past two years. 1t was voted that
the company be called upon to name
a definite date when the eight-hour
day was to become effective in the
mills, and II the company declines to
do so the union will select such date
and prepare to enforce its decision.
