Scott Bennett To Speak in
Everett, Sunday, 2::30 PM

Comrade Scott Bennett of New
Zealand, who is to speak in Everett,
Sunday afternoon, December IL, has
been filling the largest halls in Cali
fornia since his arrival in this coun-
try few weeks ago. Reports show
that his lecture dealing with Austria
liasia, It's People and the War" is
delivered in a most masterful way,
showing him to be a man of wonder
full ability, filled with sincerity and
enthusiasm for his work. In his lee
ture he sees but one remedy for WAR
and that is SOCIALISM.
He is not overconfident of the
workers being against militarism in
reality. Patriotism still commands
and they shout themselves hoarse in
New Zealand when a victory is an
nounced as they pour forth from the
factories. Johnny is sent forth by
his parents with all the old-time en-
thusiasm. A few tears are shed, but
the people still imagine tHat they are
doing great and necessary duty to
their country. None of them really
know what they are going for. Pa
triotism narrows peoples to countries
and makes brothers hate brothers
when there is no reason on earth why
all should not as brothers be.
He points out that the rulers ar,

STANDING FOR UNIONIsM
BUT is THAT ALL?

If elected to the school board, Sat.
urday, Katherine H. Hodgins, as So.
cialist, will fight for every principle
of the most advanced unionism. There
will never be scab job let with her
consent.
BUT is THIS ALONE sUFFI.
CENT?
By no means!
A working-class representative on
the school board must not by any
means rest content merely with pro-
tecting the interests of card men, i'm.
portant as this part of the work I'M
doubtedly is.
Any honest union man or woman
could do this much.
ANY Socialist director would do this
much.
There is no case on record where a
Socialist school director has failed to
support the principles of unionism.
But there are, sad to say, cases on
record wherein card" men have fail.
ed in their duty, either through in.
competency, or through Selling OUT
to the highest bidder AT all events
they did not prevent the giving GU,
of scab contracts.
1t is the business of a Socialist Of
fetal to get results!
And we expect more of a Socialist
school director than merely to pro
tect organized labor's interests.
We expect of Socialist school di
rector that he or she shall protect all
the interests of the working-clas as
such, whether organized or dlsorgan
lied, or unorganized.

Carl Uionska and Dow r. Cope Cross
Swords on Socialism

In spite of numerous outside attrac-

subject for debate was: Resolved
that Socialism is the most desirable
economic order for the people of the
United States Carl Ulonska of Ev-
erett spoke for the affirmative and
