"Labor's Peace Council"
Waterbury Democracy

Waterbury Democrat.)
"Iabor's National Peace Council
continues to be somewhat of an
enigma to the general public. The
dispute still RACES as to whether 1t
deserves its title-whether 1t really
represents labor, or is national in
scope, or is working sincerely for
peace. At the recent Washington
convention, it will be remembered,
there was a hot fight over the adop
ton of resolutions calling for gov
eminent embargo on the munitions
traffic At that time it was charged
that pro-Germans propagandists had
got labor organizations to join the
council by false pretenses, and
several labor leaders rebelled, with
the declaration that they were op-
posed to an embargo and resented
the attempt to hitch American or
ganized labor to the German cause.
The climax of that rebellion has
come in the resignation of Milton
Smelling as vice president Of the
Peace Council" Smelling is wide
ly known as first vice-president of
the International Union of Steam and
Operating Engineers of America. He
accuses the council leaders of bad
faith saying that one of them told
him: I'VE want to stop the exporta-
ton of munitions to the allies. You
see, Germany can manufacture all
the m munitions she wants" 1t was
under the auspices of this organic
ton that William j. Bryan by in
vitation of it's president, Frank Bu-
chanan, addressed a great peace
audience in New York city, consisting
chiefly of Germans. At that meet
ing Mr.. Bryan himself was placed in
IN equivocal position by the fact that
resolutions were adopted denouncing
the sale of arms and ammunition,
although Mr.. Bryan as chief speaker
had not taken that position at all,
and he explicitly refused to do so
later in st. Louis. Frank Buchanan
is the Chicago congressman who was
lately denounced President Wilson in
a public statement, accusing him of
being dominated by big business
in the interest of the war traffic
because the president refused to see

chanan used to be an iron worker.
and served as president of the Struc-
tural Iron Workers Union, which
itself at one period made a lavish
use of arms and ammunition. Every

Victor Murdock's Prophecy.
(Meriden Journal.)

N1hOIlu0H
Although who's Who in America"
shows that Victor Murdoch of Kansas
is forty-four years old, he would ap-
pear to be typical representative OF
younger generation that has neglect
ed its Bible and may not safely VEN
ture to adorn it's literary style with
biblical allusion. Mr. Murdoch an
nounces his readiness ito say fiat
footedly that we progressiyes are 60
ing into the 1916 fight as a party and

In this utterance he trod the polit1-
clans familiar ground safely enough,
but unfortunately he was tempted to
say furthed that the progressive plat
form had become the Ark of the
Covenant" to hundreds of thousands of
aggressive Americans and that
there is not a township anywhere
without it's group of Hitrlties devoted
softly to it's preservation"
Mr.. Roosevelt has likened the pro-
81 essives to the hosts of Armaged-
CON- and Mr.. Murdoch seems to wish
tn frame his political announcements
after the models furnished by his ad-
mired chief, but when he describes the
faithful members of his party as Hit
ties he invites the smile of any half
grown youngster who Knows the in
side of a Sunday school. Apparently
Mr. Murdoch has forgotten that the
Hittites were one of the condemned
rations that were driven out of the
promised land by chosen and victori-
Gus Israel. In consequence he has
piundered into a Biblical allusior
whereby he unintentionally begins his
partys campaign of 1915 with a pro-
phecy of disaster.

low.

Claim has been set up by the
Canadian Minister of Militia that more
than two thousand American boys are
fighting with the Canadian contingent
now at the front. On the face of it
this seems preposterous but no more
so than the assertion that many West
Pointers have offered their services as
officers and that some are already in
the Canadian army.
There can be no doubt that some
American boys have run away and
gone to the war. Boys are naturally
adventurous in spirit. But that two
thousand of our young men have left
their native hearth to fight for a
country in which they have no inter-
est seems beyond the pale of posi-
bility. There must be some mistake
somewhere in the figures Granted
that the boys have gone, who will
believe that West Point men, educated
in the science of warfare by the
United States and pledged to uphold.
the honor of the nation, have even
thought of deserving to enter the
ranks Of another army? The loyalty
among West Pointers is too we'll

insinuations. Probably the story
