Germany. To attach his signature 10
this communication would, I'm the
opinion OF Mr.. Bryan, be unfair 10

the prevention of war.
At direction of President Wilson
Robert Lansing. acting secretary OF
state. has signed the note. II has
been rushed into the hands of state
department experts to be coded and
will be on its way to Berlin by the
time the American public Is readins
the startling details of Mr. Bryan's
refusal to lend his name to II as sec,
rotary of state.
The note. to which Mr.. Bryan was
unable to subscribe, firmly restates
the position of the United States, re-
iterates President Wilson's previous
demands and calls upon Germany for
a prompt expression as to whether or
not she intends to abide by the prin
ciples of the international law and
humanity. That il is more vigorous
than the presidents first note to Ger
many is evidenced by the fact that
Mr.. Bryan signed the first. but re
signed rather than sign the second.

CLAIM THERE IS NO UNITED

The Day Book today received the
following letter commenting on the
publication of a letter purported to
have been sent to members of a So,
called United Catholic Leagues of
the United States" urging them to
vote for Sweitzer::
Editor The Day Book: In your is
sue of April noticed letter which
was alleged to have been sent out
just prior to the recent primaries.
This letter was signed by the United
Catholic Leagues of the United
States.
l have made a careful investiga-
ton and can find no record of any
such organization. 1t appears to me
as though this letter was sent out to
stir up an Anti-Cathoie feeling
among the people.

corning the existence of this social

you will publish it or if you will in

the Chicago Commercial club is en-
deavoring to have newspapers of IL
linois give to the people, says the
weekly bulletin Of the State Fedora
tion of Labor, which declares the club
continues to scatter throughout the
state free plates of special articles in
which the school systems of various
European countries are highly eulo-
gized.
"Thus the effort to undermine the
present school system goes on" con-
tinues the bulletin. "The purpose is
to split the schools into two separately
managed and controlled systems. One
of these is to continue along the lines
of the present elementary schools,
followed by high schools, at which the
children of the well-to-do will attend.
The other is to consist of a new sys-
tenn of schools at which working chill
dren will be compelled to attend.
These are to be called vocational
schools in which the course of study
is to be based upon the particular job
which the unfortunate child has been
forced by circumstances to accept.

boys and girls may have. If they are
unfortunate enough to have had to
leave school at the age of IA years.
they are to be 'molded to fit the job,
regardless of what the job may be or
what the child or its parents may de-
sire.
"The Commercial Club of Chicago
claims that it is to that kind of a
school system and to such class di-
visions among its children that Eu.
rope owes much of its progress. But
think of what is happening in Eu.
rope today! The people of Illinoi:
will hardly care to follow the lead o.

Colorado, known the world over
for her wanton murder of men, wo-
men and children of the working
class. has outdone all her former in
iquities in the conviction of John R.
Lawson, leader of the striking, coal
miners, for the murder of a mine
guard of Ludlow.
1t is almost impossible TO believe
that even in Colorado, where the
coal companies own and control the
legislatures and the courts, body and
soul, such an inquitious miscarriage
of justice could be perpetrated.
The Denver Labor Bulletin last
week said, in an editorial, that there
will be hell popping in Colorado if
Lawson is convicted and it would not
be surprising were the men and wo-
men whose loved ones have been de-
liberately murdered by hired assassins
to raise in revolt against a system
which allows such denial of liberty"
When the strike was called, A. c.
Feltz. chief of the murderers imported
b. the coal companies to break the
strike, built an armored automobile
equipped with machine gun and
manned by FIVE guards with high
power rifles. After the l.200 strikers
and their families moved into Ludlow
the operators started sending this car
through the colony, shooting into the
tents. At Forbes they deliberately
killed one man and shot boy in the
leg nine times while he was trying to
escape.
On October 25 ont Of the canyons
surrounding Ludlow rode the paid
murderers. They began an attack on
the tent colony. The strikers. with
what few old weapons they had. de-
Tended their homes, their wives and
their children as best they could. In
that battle, started by the thugs in
an attempt to wipe out those damn
red necks," one guard was killed by
someone who was exercising his con-

and family.

Saws Law Didn't Protect

Toledo. O.-John Quinlivan, bus
mess agent of the local central body
Of the Ohio Federation OF Labor,
saws the Ohio law against blacklist
ing, which has been invalidated by
the state supreme court, did not pro
tect trade unionists. The decision
followed the action of the United
States Supreme court in setting ASIDE
a similar law passed by Kansas, the
court holding that workers can quit
work for any reason and employers
have the same right to discharge.
"Fmployers have been taking ad-
VANTAGE Of that law" says Quinlivan.
Il can point out 100 cases in Toledo
where the law has been ineffective.
If an employer wanted TO discharge
a man because he belonged to union
he would do so anyhow, unless a
strong union could protect him..
