STEADILY GROWING

The Danish Social-Demochatic Par
ty has just held its annual congress.
Eighty-three new groups have been
organized The increase in member
ship is 10000. The party has $4,000
affiliated members, of whom 5000 are
women. In the elections for the
Folkething the Social-Democrats gain
ed eight seats. The Folkething Social
Democratic section now numbers 80
deputies, and, with the 81 Radical
members, they constitute the major
ity. The party had striven for the
maintenance of neutrality during the
war Considerable discussion took
place on the tactics of the party with
regard to the Radicals, and the par
ticipation of Social-Democrats in the
government. A congress is to be call
ed to consider further this important
question.

NEWS AND VIEWS
SOCIALISTS BREAK
THROUGH SOLID SOUTH

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-At the cleo.
ton held last week for Commissioners
of Birmingham, Arlie Barber, a mem.
Der of the Socialist party, was elect
ed to the office over the present in
cumbent, Judge A. o. Lane. Birming
ham Is ruled by commission OF three
men, and this election Is for a three
year term. The form of government
is legally non-partisan, but Barber had
the support and backing of Local Bir.
mingham in his fight.
The birmingham Ledger, a capital
list sheet, says of BARRIERS election.
"Mr Barber enjoys the distinction
of being the first avowed Socialist
commissioner or city executive to take
office in the South. He is one of the
few members of the Socialist party
in America whom the people have en-
trusted with this high office.
"Mr. Barber is actively affiliated
with the Socialist party and is proud
of his connection. He believes in mu
nicipal ownership of public utilities
and the fundamental precepts of the
Socialist creed"

SAYS BATTLE HORROR
MARKS SOLDIERS FACES

Prof. Ludwig Schliech, one Of Ger.
many's prominent medical men, has
just published report of his obser.
vations after several months work at
the front and in military hospitals in
various parts of Germany, and dwells
particularly on the psychological eff
feet of the strain of modern battle on
the soldier. He says:
There is frequently a strange, al
most awful, look in the faces of those
who have been in battle. They are
still willing soldiers, some of them
eager to get back to the trenches, but
the more highly civilized a man is,
the deeper his feelings, the more does
he bear that indelible something in
his face, the sign that he has seen
terrible things. The officers nearly
always develop an uncanny, marble,
staring look, as though they had
grown accustomed to look unshudder-
ingly at the terrors and desolate or
gies Of destruction.

5000 PREPARE TO STRIKE

Nine thousand women and girls OF
New York are being called from the
sweatshops, fire traps and dens in
which they toll for less than bare
livelihoods for another great general
strike that will force five hundred
bosses to disgorge profits in the chill
dren's dressmaking industry.
Quiet agitation has been progress
ing in the shops for several weeks.
This is the result of the fire in
a Williamsburg factory where twelve
workers lost their lives. Testimony
at the inquest shows that little
or no preventive work has been done
since the terrible Triangle fire on
March %, 1911, in (which lat working
girls and men persisted in the flames.
Locked doors caused both tragedies.
insufficient fire escapes added to the
horror of both fires. The commits
sioner of the state department of la
Dor says that 10000 violations of the
state labor law has been reported and
that only about one-third had been
corrected.

FEARS ANARCHY AND
REVOLT

Earl Loreburn, former high chancel-
lor speaking in the house of lords
recently of "the misadventures" of
every British move in the war said
he had been told two months ago that
100000 men had been killed or dis
abled for life, and that multitudes
had been added to this number since,
and that if the conflict continued In
definitely, revolution or anarchy
might follow in Europe.
In saying that he had been informed
that 100000 men already had been
killed or disabled in the war, Earl
Loreburn added that this was what
was meant by war of attrition and
that while the war continued the gov
eminent should do it's best to pre-
vent irreparable mistakes.

HOW BRITISH WORKERS
PAY FOR PATRIOTISM

William G. Sheppard, United Press
correspondent, sends the following
story from London:
George Lansbury, the English la
Dor leader, answered the question,
what is the matter with the labor
ing men of Great Britain?"
"The workingmen of Great Britain
are striking because they believe their
patriotism is being exploited" he
said, 81 was recently in little town
in Wales, where the villagers were
paying five shillings more for coal
per ton than they paid before the
war, and the wages of the miners in
that town had not been advanced a
penny. Bread in England has risen
almost 100 per cent in price, but the
farmer is getting no more for his
wheat, nor the baker for his labor. 1t
is the greed of the employing class
that the British unions are fighting"
There are laboring men and labor
leaders in Montana who have not yet
learned what patriotism costs here !;

FOOL OR KNAVE?

We are wondering whether DR.. e.
| j. Brown is fool or a knave. He
| is one or the other, for no sane and
sincere Socialist would have done
what he did during the Everett mu-
nicipal campaign.
No matter what charges he has
against the State Executive Commit
tee of the Socialist Party he could
do no good to the Socialist movement
by making it public issue as he did.
1t is question for the Socialists to
settle and not for the general
public. Every local in the state has
had letters from E. j. Brown and yet
he says that he cannot get to the ear
of the members of the Socialist party.
In order for outsiders to know what
E. ]. Brown didl in the Everett cam
paign, we will state that he got one
or probably two disgruntled ex-mem-
bers of the party to gather up other
would-be Socialists and have them
sign letter asking e.. ]. Brown to
come over to Everett and "Show up
Salter." Ten signatures were on this
letter and only one of these knew the
personnel of the State Executive Com
mittee, hence they could have no
grievance with the State Executive
Committee. The biggest theatre in
town was engaged Eve do not know
who paid the rent of S65) and
lot of advertising done in the papers
and with signs, and Dr. e. j. Brown
took the platform and said that J. M.
Salter should not be elected to Of
flee. This he stated several times
and his only reason for this action
was because Comrade j. M. Salter
happened to be a member of the State
Executive Committee that. exonerated
Comrade Barth of charges of graft
early this year.
Next week we will publish an ar
ticle from Comrade Bostrom dealing
with the activities Of Brown since
he became known as a Socialist.
