REPuRLIcANs REcEPTIvE

First repubiicnn enooura cement for
the administration ship purchase bin
was heard today when Senator Norris
declared that IL two amendments he
offered were adopted, he would sup
port II. One amendment proposed to
continue the government in the ship
ping business after its lines became
profitable.
! I'VE should let the tax payer share
the profits as well as Dear the losses OF
any Of these ventures" he said.
The second amendment, Senator
Norris said would provide that no ves-
sci flying belligerent flag should be
purchased unless an understanding
with other belligerents had been
reached to prevent complications.
Senator Norris is regarded as a pro-
gressive republican.
Senator Norris first proposal
brought several democratic senators
into the debate
Senator Hoke Smith inquired II he
differed with those of who vastly pre-
fer the government never to operate
the ships at ALL" but lease them to
various companies to stimulate COM

"The idea of leasing these boats"
said Senator Owen, instead or the
government operating them. proceeds
upon the assumption that the lines
would compete with each other and
thus reduce the rates. We have tried
that idea to It's ultimate conclusion
and found that II was Of no use. We
have found that the ships of the United
states, Great Britain, Germany, Hol-
land and Italy, instead Of competing
freely, are in a great int. national
trust. and all we would be doing here,
would be TO contribute S40yO00,000 to
the perpetuation of that system"
Senator Simmons declared the pro-
posai Of those democrats who favored
leasing the ships after their purchase.
"tid not meet the approval of the dem
ocratic CAUCUS"
1T was not our intention to pro-
vide for government ownership and
private operation" he added. and ex-
planned the leasing clause had been

could make temporary leases IL that
seemed expedient.

Washington, Jan. 2e.--After progress
give republican senators had suggested
amendments to the government ship
purchase bill today with hint that
they might support 1t in amended
form the senate settled down to listen
to another speech by Senator Calling
er, who read into the record many
pages Of reports on ocean transporta-
ton, ship subsidies and histories Of
famous fiIbusters as well as news Of
the day from Q. morning newspaper.
Late in the day the republican lead
ers. confronted with rumors that the
democrats would attempt to hold the
senate I'm session all night began a
program of parliamentary obstruction,
including demands for many roll calls
All efforts to conceal their obstructive
tactics were abandoned and as the
evening wore on the session became
another endurance test.
Among the amendments was one
making government operation perma-
nent and another proposing the ship
ping board be entirely of civilians.
Determined to crush the republican
opposition the senate was still in ses-
sion long after midnight with pros
poets that the democrats will try to
keep from adjourning until vote Is
reached.

AGAINST THE WAR

In letter to the New York Globe,
VIM. English Walling denies that the
100000 Social Democrats Of Germany
are heartily supporting the Kaiser in
the European war. He points out that
at the March 90 session of the Reich
stag, 80 of the 81 social democrats pre-
sent, refused to give the Kaiser their
moral and financial support. In this
minority are two leaders-Bernstei
and Haase. The Vorwaerts, the
partys official daily, is steadily OPP
posing the government and the war,
and has the support of eight of the
nine members of the Reichstag dis
tricts of Greater Berlin. The Socialist
papers of Leipsig, Bremen and other
large cities, reveal similar spirit.
The Socialists of Stuttgart, by two
thirds vote, indorsed Liebknecht and
condemned the pro-war Socialists.
Walling is of the belief that at least
100000 of the Social Democrats OF
Germany, or one-third of the party, are
against the war. The Globe sees in
these facts the possibility of the over
throw of Kaiserism from within Ger
many itself. This it proclaims the
hope of the world" The least that
may be said, however, is that Wall
ing's facts are encouraging. 1t looks
more learned it's lesson.-"J. E." in
Solidarity.
Editors Note: Since the above was
written, Vorwaerts has been permin-
emily suppressed by the government.

But marks the workers dead.
We have yielded our best to give you
rest,
And you lie on a crimson wool,
For, if blood be the price of all your

Good God, we ha paid it in full.
There's never mine blown skyward
But we're buried alive for you;
There's never wreck drifts shore

But we are its CHASTITY crew.
Go reckon our dead by the FORCES red.
And the factories where we spin;
If blood be the price of your accursed
wealth,
Good God, we ha' paid it in full.
We have fed you all for a thousand
years,
| For that was our doom, you know,
From the days when you chained us
in your fields
| To the strike of a week ago
You ha' eaten our live and our babes

And were told it's your legal share,
But if blood be the price of your law
