as big as an ordinary frontyard. We
follow along in the side Of the big

walking in a ditch, clothes hang

shoe sticks out from beneath a

1t isn't an empty shoe, it is jerked
out of sight, you heard q grunt from

Hill THREATENS
AMERICAN SAILORS
Will Sail Ships Under Foreign
Flag to Sidestep Law
Seamen's Act Will Cost Jim $l32, 1000
More for United States Sailors Than
Hiring Present Cheap 0rientals

Because it costs sl32, 900 more a year
to operate a steamship with American
seamen than with orientals, and because
the new Seamen's act provides that
American sailors must be employed on
vessels which fly the flag of the United
States, jim Hill will either sell his
steamer Minnesota, or register it under
the British flag, says the Minneapolis
Labor Review.
I Al a banquet in st. Paul recently Jim
Hill said For myself L should like to
see 10000 Chinese come now to the
United States We need them to do
our work. China has solved problems
We have not even attempted to solve,
the problem among others of living on
ten or twelve cents day.
Daily the papers ring in the ears of
the people the danger of Asiatic inva-
sion OF America, and here is a man who
welcome the invasion. A man who
thinks so little of the flag of the United
States that rather than spend Sl32, 900
a year be would sail his ship under the
British flag.
And this is the type of men who
preach patriotism. Who teach the blind
following Of flags, and the blind worship
of men.
Who it costs anything capitalists
don't follow any flag very far. But
SO long as the flag stands for better
wages and conditions as in the case of
the Seamen's act, very well. But when
they wish TO use the flag to lead US
blindly to our graves, then we should
pay No attention. So long as the flag
protects the interests of labor we are
for il But Ludlow and the incident of
the steamer Minnesota prove pretty con-
clusiyely that the same flag cannot pro-
tect both capital and labor. At Ludlow
it protected Rockefeller and his militia,
and til miners and their families lost
their lives In the case OF the Minnesota
it seezs 20 protect American working
men az the cost of Jim Hills dollars,
and rather than yield the dollars, Jim
Hill Is ready TO forget the American flag
and swear allegiance to the British.
Ii Is folly to endeavor to prove that
one flag can protect capital and labor
at the same time. Who said there were
no classes in this country Why at
tempt to make a Jellyll and Hyde out of
the flaE' When employers beat the
drums and wave the flag let toilers be-
ware. The Americanization day idea is
an employers proposition.
God help the newcomers unless they
learn 70 think for themselves, and that
quickly.

Washington. Jan. 20.-A terss de-
nsnd for an explanation OF the cir
cumstances under which the officer In
command Of the British prize crew
which boarded the American ship
Greenbrier hauled down the Stars and
Stripes, which he replaced with the
British ensign before taking her into
Kirkwall. England. was filed with the
British Embassy here to-day by the
State Department. The demand for
the explanation cites that the Green
brier, according to the report Of her
master, was en- route for Bremen, load
ed with cotton. and carried a certif-
cate from the British Consul General
at New York It also indicates in very
definite terms that the hauling down
Of the American flag could not be eX-
planned by any known rule Of interna-
tional procedure when the vessel was
in no sense prize OF war.
AZ the State Department to-day 1t
was said that, although 1t might be
customary to change ensigns when a
vessel was in charge of prize crew, 1t
remained TO be explained why a prize
crew was put aboard the Greenbrier
She was the vessel of neutral, and,
although bound for belhgerent port,
was carrying no contraband, nor, so iar
as the United States government Is
concerned. even suspected OF carrying
contraband Of any kind in her cargo.
The attention Of the State Depart
mont gas directed TO the Greenbrler
bv cable messages from her master,
Capta:n Farley. now at Bremen with
his shin. The master stated that at a
noint in the North Atlantic. which he
defines by latitude and longitude. he
was overhauled and stopped by Brit
ish cruiser. The boarding officer re-
ouired him 20 continue on his course
conveyed by the cruiser for day or
40. while the ship underwent a search
for arms or other contraoand. Later
the cruiser placed prize crew ane.
other naval officers aboard the vessel.
and IL was this crew which compelled
the change Of flags. Captain Farley
recites that his ship remained at Kirk
wall for three days before he was per-
mitted to hoist the American flag and
proceed.
The Dacia will receive no guarantee
Of safe conduct from the officials OF
the State Department. It was said at
the office of the Solicitor for the state

government would not further consider
