MANY UNEMPLOYED
IN WASHINGTON

A. F. Richardson, who has charge
of the government free employment
agency in Spokane, reports that at
Colfax there are 200 idle men seeking
work; at Ritzville, 800: at Walla Wal
la, the same. He further says: From
men who have come into this office
after roaming the country in search
of work hear that every station, wa
ter tank, and grain warehouse is the
headquarters for groups of from four
to fifteen men looking for jobs" Free
employment agencies are one of the
remedies advocated by the most pro-
gressive business men for unemploy-
ment.-Start a war with Germany
no matter what for. That will settle
the unemployment problem for some

TRY THIS SCHEME

Make small billboard and fix it
firmly outside your house. Hustle up
all the Socialist cartoons and leading
articles that you can and paste them
on the board. This is one of the most
effective ways of advertising Social
ism that has yet been found Do not
be discouraged because some of them
get torn off. The Henry Dubbs that
tear them off will get tired of tearing
them off, providing you don't get tired
first. When the billboard was first
placed outside the headquarters in
Everett it just kept us busy covering
up the torn posters, but today the
only thing that destroys them is the
weather. 1t pays to advertise and we
have got to advertise Socialism. Let
every one of our readers get busy and
erect a billboard, Let Socialist bill
boards be as common in your burg
as school boys. Get the habit. DO
1T NOW!

or all the dastardly military schemes
of the LIMOGES this is the latest and
most subtle. You would think, to hear
the loud howlings and barkings of the
faithful watchdogs of the Employers
Association the much-perverted Times
and P.-I. of Seattle and allied papers
of the Northwest, that the business
men of this vicinity were just falling
over each other to grab that free three
weeks vacation to work off a little
surplus fat and incidentally to shed
their blue blood for this country of
theirs, which has been SO good to them
In the things of material welfare, and
from the viewpoint of the writer this
would be no more than just and right
considering the services they have rem
dered their country, the sacrificing of
their lives would be quite inadequate.
1t may appear to some that these
training camps for business men thru
out the country were exceedingly hard
to secure If we judged alone from the
way the plutocratic press talked, but
far be it from such with a cut and
dried program like this, as the press
reports were part OF said program,
and it is very rare when such schemes
as this, of the masters, goes wrong.
1t being one of the chief concerns Of
sources of avenues of information.
1t may also appear that it is the in
tention of the masters to fill up the
vacant places in the ranks of the pri-
Yates, but never fear, they have far
more important missions, for their
well-fed functionaries of the past, to
perform in the future, than to give up
their lives, or even spill as much as
one drop Of their precious blue blood.
Being useful only in the past to
hand down orders from their capital
istic superors, the only conceivable
function they can perform in the fu-
ture is to act in the same capacity, or
that of officers, isolated so far away
from the danger zone that they could
not ever hear the whiz of a bullet,
with us, as usual, doing the actual
fighting and spilling our Red blood.
But, good night to you military jim
goes; if We must die we will die fight
ing (only) our masters or their re-
tainers.
Yours for a bloodless revolution,

PURCHASING POWER

No Socialist can afford to ignore
the merchant that uses this paper to
advertise his wares and no merchant
can afford to overlook the buying pow
er of the Socialist. The wise merchant
does not bother about your politics
as long as he can get your trade The
dollars of the Socialists are just as
good as those of the democrats and
If he knows you are a Socialist he
knows why you are trading there If
he does not know it is your duty to
tell him and that is what we want
our readers to do Be sure that he
knows why you are trading there by
telling him that it is because of the

GERMAN READER REPLIES
TO H. S. CROSBY

Editor Northwest Worker:
| am German-born and have read the
letter of H. S. Crosby in your last
number. Would like to say that if
anyone wants to learn why Belgian
civilians were shot he may, at the To-
cal library, find the German army re-
port on this matter, both in German
and English. German authorities and
courts, either civil or military, what
ever their faults, cannot be accused
of crookedness and lying, their record
speaks for them, and so does that of
the Belgians, in the Congo and dur
ing the present war. The American
public's information in this and other
matters, has been one sided, but Mr..
Crosby's letter betrays more. l re-
frain from discussing some of the de-
tails. In the Civil war hostages were
taken and also shot on occasion. Dur
ing the Boer war an English troop
train was attacked by the Beers and
cry house within ten miles was burned
down. The German army was at war
in 1864, 1866 and 1870 and history has
it's record. In 1870 the London Spec
tator wrote of ''the German troops ex-
IRENE mildness, reasonableness and
fairness, even when the flush of such
great victories was upon them; of
''the harmlessness of the victorious
soldiery and their forbearance towards
the French peasantry amongst whom
they encamp." This may be found in
Littel's Living Age, of Sept II, 1870.
And our "The Nation" of Oct. 3, 1870
said: Witnesses in dozens, whose op-
portunities of observation have been
very great, and who know what war
means, have come forward to say that
such discipline, such kindness and for
bearance, such respect for women and
for private property, they never saw
on the part of troops on hostile soil"
According to the old Latin proverb
mo man becomes suddenly bad"
neither does a nation. Has Germany
become so because today one-third of
the enlisted men are Socialists? No.
the real reason is that Germany today
is pitted against England.

OFFICER IN CHARGE: Well, you
see, If these people are killed by men
carrying the national colors and wear
ing the uniform the people will sym
jpathize with us. All our papers have
to do then is to say they were rioting
when shot down. That makes it so
simple.
PERRY SWEET: Well, cannot these
gunner" wear the uniform as was
done in Colorado and carry the flag
for it's effect upon the people?
OFFICER IN CHARGE: Well the
main reason for not doing that is, that
war is imminent and if we should have
break in relations with some other
nation, it would be necessary for some
of the wealthy to go as officers, in
order to trick the poor to the trenches
| LIST CAP: There is reason, very
good reason, in his remarks. We can
not deny these things. But then, what
! if the working men should refuse to
go to war? We would be forced to
sacrifice our lives for our country.
OFFICER IN CHARGES: Well, in
case they refuse to go they will be
conscripted. But this bluff of patriot
ism, on part of the wealthy, has to
| be run, for at any minute the starving
members of the working-class may
rise and demand your blood AS it
| is, you have an organization of force
to meet them. Your machine guns
will be superior to their shot guns.
End CAP: That large evening pa
per in Seattle is%4so instrumental in

list CAP: Oh, yes; and it is Of in
estimable value as it denounces these
Socialists and labor leaders. Certain
ly it has been successful in making
people believe that Socialists would
tear down churches; that they would
infect the nation with free vice and
that they would force reign Of an
archv upon us.
PERRY SWEET: There IS no doubt
in my mind but that the means of pro-
duction could be better handled by
cooperation than by limited private
capital. But we need men like editor
Bethlehem to keep the workers "look-
ing up" He is just as much needed
