A day will come when war shall seem

"A day will come when bullets and

Europe what the parliament is to Eng

STRENGTH OF IDEALS

Nothing is so practical as the ideal
The ideal is the basis of the practi-
cal, the prophecy of the practical, the
creator Of the practical. The ideal has
nodded the world from barbarism to
standardization and will mold it to a
civilization worthy of the name. It is
the power that molds men and women
and institutions and nations, as a pot
ter molds his clay. Every book and
every nation was an ideal before it
was fact and became fact be
cause of the creative power of the
ideal.-Prof. Frank Parsons.

NEW YORK-President Gompers
ems Trade Union league how the
Rockefeller foundation and similar or
CARNATIONS possessing untold millions
are poisoning the we'll of intelligence
and often give workers the wrong
viewpoint on subjects that are vital
to labor The speaker illustrated his
point by referring TO the controversy
between the Rockefellers and Chair
man Walsh of the commission on in
dustrial relations. He declared he at
| tended every session of the commits
| sion when John D. Rockefeller, jr,,
was on the stand, and that the stories
given out later by Rockefeller and the
public press that support him, were
neither fair or honest to Chairman
Walsh. who was described as doing a
great work for the cause of labor
Frank Walsh has no business to
give to the newspapers" said the
unionist. He has no secret fund upon
which to draw 10 pay for advertise
ments: he has no $200,000,000 founda-
ton with which to corrupt the minds
of the people OF the country. Our own
people have sometimes been misied
by reason of the transformation
spread broadcast by the millions of
the Rockefeller foundation, and some
workers have even criticised the SPLEEN
did work OF Mr. Walsh; some Of our
own are led to side against us by rea-
son Of this false and misleading in
formation I have personally heard
many good men criticise the splendid
work Of Mr.. Walsh in the interest of
The workers because they have been
misiuformed as TO the facts said
President Gompers.
The speaker referred to the Clay
ton law as the Declaration of Indus
trial Independence, and said this act
would undoubtedly be attacked 'by the
forces that are poisoning the wells of
intelligence by conveying misinforma-
ton to the people through the me-
dunn of the press
President Gompers urged the dele
gates to make trade unionism their
life's paramount issue, and not permit
themselves to let other issues over
shadow the one great question of or
ganization, that workers may regulate
their lives, may have a voice in regu-
This, the speaker insisted was of
prime Importance, all other questions
being secondary.

WE ARE FACTORS

We live in a world which is full of
misery and ignorance, and the plain
duty OF each and all of us is to try to
make the little corner he can influence
somewhat less miserable and some
what less ignorant than it was before
he entered it, To do this effectually.
1t is necessary to be fully possessed
of only two beliefs: the first, that the
order of nature is ascertainable by
our faculties to an extent which is
practically unlimited; the second. that
our volition counts for something as a
condition of the course of events

OUR DEFECTIVE INHERIT
ANCE TAX
By CARL d. THOMPSON

By CARL d. THOMPSON
The late Anthony n. Brady let an
estate estimated from $7OOOO,OO0 to
$100000,000. Under the present in.
heritance tax laws in New York, there
came to the state from this inherit
ance $5,OOO,OOO.
If this estate had been in Illinois
and under the operation of Inheritance
tax laws in this state, We would have
received $6,OO0,OOO for the state.
But in order to show how defective
our inheritance tax laws are in this
country, compare the above results
with what would have taken place
under similar circumstances in Eng
land. In that country this estate
would have been taxed three times
as much as here In other words, it
would have turned over to the gov
eminent $15,OOOOOO instead of S.
100000.
In Switzerland the Inheritance tax
laws are still more effective If the
Brady estate had been in Switzerland
it would have turned over to the state
eight times as much as it did here, or
$4O,OOO,0O0.
From this one can readily see that
our American inheritance tax laws
are very inadequate.

THE SHORTER WORK-DAY

Vice-President Marshall, speaking
before a Cleveland, Ohio, audience,
made the assertion that the worlds
necessary work could be accomplished
on a four-hour schedule, providing all
knew how to go about it.
There is absolutely no doubt that
even at present in spite of the num-
bers who from choice, or from the
fact tina their financial circumstances
permit, refrain altogether from any
useful, productive labor those who are
ready to perform the work of the
world are not being employed, on an
average, four hours per day.
To forestall argument or criticism
we will affirm here that this lack of
employment is due, to a great extent,
to the fact that many possible con-
sumers of the products of labor can
not purchase commodities that they
need.
But, there can be little doubt but
that the long hours worked, in normal
times, by some tend to keep out of
employment others; that the unem-
ployed army tend to keep down the
wages of those employed; thus ever
increasing the discrepancy between
the wages received and the value Of
the product of the worker when aided
by the wonderful machines of today
We believe that reduction of hours
of labor to conform with the greater
productive power of the workers when
aided by modern machinery, modified
only by the reasonable demands for
more of the good things made possible
by the inventions, the ingenuity of
the producing class, should be the
chief demand of labor,
We are about to celebrate the in
auguration of the eight-hour workday
in most of the organized districts; and
through the example of the organized
miners, also in some of the inorganic
ed districts.
We believe that the Inauguration of
the eight-hour day is the most far
reaching victory the miners have
achieved. In celebrating this day let
us determine to extend the benefits of
the shorter workday to every part of
the country, and then, with our fell
4 low workers, go forward to still furth-
! er reductions of the hours of work
/ thus tending to make possible more
/ equitable distribution of the oppor
tunity for employment and the conse-
/ Quent lessening of the numbers of the
unemployed; the ever-standing menace
against better remuneration and work
ing conditions for those employed.
Abolition of child labor, limitation
OF the exploitation of the labor of
women, and reductions of hours of en-
ployment for all these are the most
/ important reforms to which organized
labor must bend every effort For
with these reforms are coupled the
/ possibility for employment Of the
adult man, the natural breadwinner
and producer.-M Miners Magazine.

RULED AND ROBBED
FOR YOUR GOOD

The more civilization advances, the
more it is found to cover with the
cloak of charity the evils necessarily
created by it, to excuse them, or to
deny their existence, in short to in
troduce a conventional hypocrisy
that eliminates in the declaration:
The exploitation of the oppressed
class is solely carried on by the ex-
plotting class solely in the interest
