CHECKED AT KRASNIK-
Petrograd Contradicts Vienna's Claim

PetrOgrad ContradictS Vienna'S Claim
of Successes on Warsaw Road.
London, July 7-Petrograd asserts
a distinct check has Deen inflicted on
the Austro- Hungarians near Krasnik
in southern Russian Poland, where
the invaders are threatening one OF
the most important railroad connec-
lions with Warsaw. The claim direct
ly contradicts the Vienna official re-
port which states that the Russians
have suffered defeat in this section.

German reports agree that quiet pre-

Italy keeps up her heavy battering
tactics against the Austro- Hungarian
positions along the Isonzo river, Wen

Rumors continue to reach London
from many scattered sources of great
German offensive against the western
front with Calais on the English chan
mel as the objective, but actual reports
from this war theater show no more
than the usual activity.
General Sir Ian Hamilton's report of
the British landing at the DardanelleS
mas caused much comment in the Brit
ish press which shows great pride in
the achievement of the allied troops.
This is not unmIXed with criticism,
however, of the strategy which d1ctat-
ed the campaign. Lord Northcllffe'S
newspapers are particularly strong in
to such fearful slaughter.
The Times, describing the naval
dash which preceded the land opera
tions, says it was a naval Balaklava
and denounces the whole operations,
characterizing them as ''unforgivable
bungling."

GIRLS WORN OUT AT 81.
Working on S2.S5 a Week. Have NO
Chance, Says Mrs. Robbins.

The average working girl receives
but s2.79 to $2.S3 week wages.
sleeps without a mattress, eats chief
" rye bread and olive oil, goes with
out lunches and cuts down the rest
of her food supply when she has
to have clothes, never dreams of a
vacation or time to read or study
and is quite worn out and unfit for
motherhood at the end of five years
toll or by the age of 81, says Mrs.
RAYMOND Robbins. president Of the
National Women's Trade Union
league, according to the Baltimore
Sun.
While the figures quoted apply to
sweatshop work, she said also that
one-eighth of all women employed in
the United States earn less than IS a
week, one-third less than 81, two
thirds less than $40 and but one
sixth over SIS.
Many women fear that higher
wages for these girls will mean high
er prices for their candy and lingerie.
but the labor cost is very small
part of the cost of production--onl!
II per cent. in some industries, 81
in others. Even if the cost of goods
was raised to the consumer, should
We not hold life dearer than cotton
cloth?
THE tremendous monotony, the
speeding up to which girls are sub
jected and the poor conditions of
living on a sum under living wage,
finds the girl by 21 losing out, even
at that age unable to do what she
did when she began, and in many in
dustries the physical strain of her
work has untitled her completely for
motherhood.
There are also unfair conditions
of which the public little dreams, as,
for instance, there are factories and
sweatshops where girls are required
to pay five cents a week for drink
ing water, and where they pay for
the very electricity that runs their
employers machines. Nor are the
girls allowed to complain.
''All this is absolutely at variance
with the ideals of American freedom
of thought and political democracy.
"a point we cannot omit is that
of the pitfalls that await the help
less. The agents of commercialized
vice are found in every store and
factory. The girl alone will be in
suited and if she protests, dismissed.
The Women's Trade Union league
has made it rule that If a girl is
insulted, every girl on the force is to
20 on strike, if the apology is not

NITRATE DEPOSITS OF CHILE.
Many Things to Which Users Should
Give Close Attention.

The worlds supply Of nitrate. for
use in the manufacture Of fertilizers,
explosives and other chemical prod
ucts. is now derived almost entirely
from the deposits of sodium nitrate
in northern Chile. These deposits
are vast. as compared with any prob
able future demand, and even the
best efforts of a close monopoly sup
ervised by the Chilean government
have not been able to do more than
keep output and prices under some
small degree of control. In ordinary
times the Chilean deposits can
swamp any possible competitive sup
ply. and in the past this has operated
to prevent the development of small
or less we'll located deposits else
where.
The Chilean deposits have, how
ever, one marked defect which IS
brought into prominence by the pres
ent European war and which dlsas-
trous form in case of a war between
the United States and any power
having an effective fleet in the Paci-
fic ocean. The defect is entirely by
sea, and that the steamers carrying
the nitrate must make a long run
along open coasts. We must, there
fore, consider that nitrate, though
the supply is more than ample, is
likely to be cut off under war con-
ditions.
In default of a supply of Chilean
nitrate a country would have to fall
back upon either (a) local or other
supplies of natural potash or soda
nitrates, (b) nitrogen extracted from
the air, or (c) nitrates manufactur-
ed from coal tar products. All Of
these are technically feasible. and
none are absolutely prohibitive as to
cost under war conditions, though
in normal times none of them can
at present compete with the Chilean
supply Magazine.

WHAT SOCIALISM is

Socialism is a word having two dis
tinct but related meanings: primar-
lily it is used as the name of a GER
tain philosophy of history and meth
cd of interpreting and analyzing So
cial phenomena. In the second place,
since this philosophy and method have
as one of their principal conclusions
that society is evolving toward CO
operative social stage, the word is
used to designate a cooperative So
cial organization, where the means
for the production and distribution OF
wealth are the collective property of
the working class, while the goods
which are to be consumed become the
private property of the individual
workers.-A. M. Simons, in Enclyco-
pedia Americana.

TO VISITORS

When you visit the office of The
Northwest Worker and find but slight
attention is paid to your inquiries do
not blame the staff. Comrades Ship
ley and Watts have so much to do
and such little time to do it in that
they cannot find time to visit with
every comrade that comes in. We are
kept on the jump all the time and
when visitor gets us into a lengthy
discussion it simply means that we
have to burn midnight oil" in order
to catch up with our work. We can.
not increase our staff as we ourselves
can get but a dollar or two a week
from the work we do, so we ask you
not to be disappointed at the recep-
ton you receive at our hands. We
are willing to take your money, but
to enter into conversation with you
on different subjects means delaying
our work, and to delay our work
makes it harder for us to get out the
paper and collect the funds.
