Moose Plan Big

Wheeling Lodge No. 81, Loyal Or

/ airy arrangements for their Fair and
bazaar to be held in the Market Audi
toriun November 20 ana so ana Dec

are enthusiastic over the outlook.
Secretary Palmer Talks.
To a Majority man, N. H. Palmer,
secretary of the Lodge, expressed his
firm belief in the big success of the
venture:
1--WE are about to start on another
successful big Fair and Bazaar. Re-
member the Bazaar we held last year
in Market Auditorium with the as
-sistance of the B. C. Mcclure com.
pany; we succeeded in pulling off one
of the largest and best Bazaars ever
held in Wheeling. All arrangements
have been completed and we are now
starting operations on what we hope
will prove to surpass our Bazaar of
last year, not only financially, but in
popularity as well.
f Market Auditorium has been en-
gagged as the largest and best hall
available in the city. We know that
it would require two or thee halls
| to hold the enormous crowd that is
bound to turn out through our efforts.
Last\ year we crowded Market Audi
torium to the door each night. We
, believe this year that we will be
'orced to turn away hundreds who
| will not be able to get in.
1--WE have everything that is need
ed. beautiful hand-painted booths OF
every description, every kind OF
games, dandy attractions each night
contests, dancing every evening
everything that is going to help us
make a grand success of it and also
l.make a large amount of money. Wher
our Bazaar throws open its doors we
will have on our booths between
Three and Five Thousand Dollars II
merchandise. Many very beautifu
and very expensive articles may d.
/ procured through our method, for TN
small sum of five or ten cents.

which M Luquet presided, there were
present 1863 delegates representing IA

declarations, 43 labor exchanges and
"a departmental unions of labor Brit
ish trade unionists were represented
by Messrs. Appleton, O'Grady and
Crinon, the latter having come to
France to visit the soldiers at the
British front. The special object of
the conference was to examine into
the role to be played in the present
situation by labor Organizations.
The resolution adopted recalls the
fact that the opposition of the General
Labor Federation to war has been
( systematically confirmed throughout
by it's action, it's propaganda and it's
relations with, similar institutions
abroad. It's only desire at all times
has been, it states, to create generally
an atmosphere of peace.
The resolution then goes on to state
that in acting in this manner the Fed
Grafton has rendered impossible all
aggression by France against any
other country whatever.
i Further, that under all conditions
the Federation is convinced that it
has. at all times and in all directions
worked in conformity with the con
stitutional ideals of internationalism
and consequently stands ready to
meet the verdict of the. proletariats
of all other nations. The Federation
affirms at one and the same time its

civilian E. Trautman, trusted lead
Or of the workmen in the recent big
Westinghouse strike, and A. r. Lib
sardt the principle adviser and right
hand man of Trautman, sold out the
strikers to the Westinghouse COM
panies for $4,000, and brought the
strike to premature end.
"A strike at the Oliver steel mills
In Pittsburgh, in 1912; strike at the
plant OF the American Steel and Iron
Company at Wierton in 1913, and a
strikes at the plant of the Philips
Sheet and Tinplate company at Steu-
benville, Ohio, in 1913, were all sold
out by Libgardt for various amounts,
in some cases assisted by Trautman.
Such are the sensational charges

mer emloye of the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing company
in East Pittsburgh, and until within

"Mr Trautman for more than a
year has been a trusted organizer Tor
the Industrial Workers of the World,
whose headquarters are at Detroit,
and previous to this he had been or
ganizer for the Industrial Workers OF

at Chicago. Shortly before the out
break Of the Westinghouse strike
kaufman was brought here by the
strikers to act as organizer.
"A few days after the men went on
strike Libgardt appeared at strike

sardt dressed we'll and was evidently

The German drive against Russia
one of the most stupendous
war undertakings in history. The war
RACES over a battle front of about
] 900 miles-one chapter in this titanic
conflict which shows even to the casual
reader the immense sweep of the fever
which has CONSTRUCTED the life of the
Old World. Upon the outcome of this
tremendous conflict between Teuton
and Russian depends, if not the out
come at least the duration of the war.
If the Russians beat the Germans back,
or by drawing them into a trap render
the great Teutonic forces impotent, the
fortune of war would swing heavily to,
wards the triumph of the allies. Con
versely, success of the Teuton arms
against the Russians must add ire
mendously to the encouragement at
Berlin and make difficult if not i'm
possible triumph by the allies. It is
not likely that the Russians will be SO
severely outgeneralled and outfought
along this great battle front as to end
the war in the Germans favor, but the
danger that the course of events there
may greatly prolong the war is appar.
