D'ANNUNZIO

Lieut.. Gabrielle d'Annunzio-to give him his new military tit1e-is per haps the only living bard who can truthfully claim to be a national poet" As the eloquent spokesman for the war party in Italy, he was to no small extent responsible for firing the patriotic enthusiasm of his coun- trymen to the point where neutrality
 became impossible and 1taIy's par ticipation in the European conflict
 bration shortly before Ita1y's final
 break with Austria, d'Annunzio re-
 ceived such popular acclaim as has fallen to the lot of no other poet
 of modern times. Tn the last speech
 to his demand that Italia Irredenta''
 be redeemed from the Austrian yoke.
 When he returned to Rome a month posed exile, he was hailed as a hero. When war was declared the poet sought permission to accompany the Italian battle fleet, and when his ap- plication was refused he enlisted in
 the army and was commissioned a lieutenant. D'Annunzio was born in Pescaral and is now in his ffty-frst year. In stature he is Napoleonic- that is, diminutive. He was edu- cated at the College of Prato in Tus-
 cany and the University of Rornes and
 began his career as a poet tnirty-five years ago, when he published his first volume of verse. Since then no less than twenty-five volumes have issued from his pen, and he has gained a
 place among the foremost of latter
 day singers. Many of his poems and l tragedies have been translated into 1 English. and have gained for the
 Italian bard a large following in Great Britain and America It is re- ported that d'Annunzio expects to i give his life to his country, and, in that expectation, has already built a | tomb for himself among the crags of | the Appennipes Z

'The Star Spangled Banner" Is 138
 Years Old Today

On this Flag Day the people of the great American republic will celebrate the 188th anniversary of the adoption of the 'Sstar-Spang1ed Banner as the official emblem of their liberties It was on June 14, 1TH, that Congress placed the seal of it's approval upon the flag with thirteen stripes alter nateIy red and white, with thirteen stars on a. blue field in the canton, or. upper inside corner. Thus was born into the world the beautiful banner of the stars, the symbol of democracy The Flag Day of the republic has tremendous significance today, when half the world is at war, with the 1s- sue of despotism democracy again to be decided Whatever his opinion as to the merits of the worId-struggle and the cIashing interests involved therein, no American can gaze upon the Stars and Stripes today without feeling a thrill of pride in the fact that this is also Flag Day in stricken Relgiuna-that old Glory daunts it's folds as the emblem of mercy in that land given over to the destruction, desolation and misery.
 saThe flag for which our heroes fought, for which they died, is the symbol of all we are, of all we hope to be- said Col. Robert G. IngersoH in his eloquent panegyric on the Stars and Stripes.
 sIt is the emblem of equal rightsI
 ssIt means that this continent has been dedicated to freedom
 '<H means universal ducation-Iight for every mind, Knowledge for every child
 44It means that the schoo1house is the fortress of liberty.
 ''It means that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed'-that each man is ac- T. 1.1 that responsibility goes hand in hand 1 with liberty.
 "It means the perpetual right of peaceful revolution
 'It means that every citizen of the republic native or naturalized-must be protected, at home in every State, abroad, in every land, on every sea- s'H means that all distinctions based on birth or blood have perished from our laws-that our government shall stand between labor and capital, be- l tween the weak and the strong, be- tween the individual and the corpora ton, between want and wealth-and give and guarantee simple justice to each and all. tTt means national lhospitaHty-that we must welcome to our shores the | exiles of the world, and that we may not drive them back. Some may be deformed by labor, dwarfed by hun ger, broken in spirit, victims of ty- ranny and caste, in whose sad faces may be read the touching record of a weary life, and yet their children, born of liberty and love, will Sbe synnnnet- rica1 and fair. intelligent and free.
 That flag is emblem of the sU- preLne swilI-of a nations power. Be heath it's folks the weakest must be protected and the strongest must obey.
 That flag was given to the air in ErevoIution's darkest cays. It repre- sents the s1fferings of the past, the gIories to be; and, like the bow of heaven, it is the child of storm and sun.
 'tThis day is sacred to the great he roie host who kept this flag above our heads.''

EFFECTS OF UNDERPAID
LABOR

PROVIDENCE, r. AT a mass
meeting of strikers employed by the
Brown & Sharpe company, Rev. F. II.
Decker, Of Church House, declared
that the company does not pay a liv-
ing wage to many OF its employees
and that the business should be so
organized as to make it possible to
do so.
1T is from the spiritual and moral
point of view that ! consider the ef-
fects of underpaid labor" said the

WHAT 1T MEANS

Undoubtedly members of organized
labor get tired of hearing the appeals
of labor editors for support and their
continued insistence on the import
ance of giving up time and money to
make the labor papers successful but
without this continual insistence, one
of Labor's most powerful weapons will
be as but a rusty rifle in the hands
of an unframed militiaman against
the 42-centimetre howitzer manned by
veterans.
That the value of the labor press is
recognized in some quarters is shown
by the following statement of Presi-
dent Jerome Jones of the Southern
Labor Congress to the annual conven-
ton of that body at Chattanooga,
Tenn, last week:
81 seek to impress upon you the
support and sustenance of the labor
press, that powerful adjunct of a cause
which progresses only in the degree
and to the extent that its members
are educated to what real trades
unionism means. The labor press is
the beacon. How brightly it shall burn
depends upon you. Every man here
present should impress that fact up,
on his continents back home. May
be we do not like the editor perhaps
he is "squatter" and has pre-empted
the task of showing you the shoals
and reefs and directing you to the
channels of safety Be that as it may,
the labor press is your only mouth
piece, the only mouthpiece of your
economic class. Do you give it your
support? Do those who sent you hith-
err give it their support? "-Union Rec

MANY STRIKES ACTUAL
REVOLUTIONS

Looking back over the industrial
history of the last quarter century,
the industrial disputes which have at
tracted the attention of the country
and which have been accompanied by
bloodshed and violence, have beeen
revolutions against industrial oppres
sion, and not mere strikes for the i'm
provement of working conditions.
Such revolutions in fact were the
railway strikes of the late eighties,
the Homestead strike, the bituminous
coal strike of 1897, the anthracite
strikes of 1900 and 1908, the strike at

Furthermore, there is a fundamen-
tai principle which applies in this
field as in all other lines of human
activity This principal is contained
in the following contrast: In demo-
cratic organizations such evils and eX
cesses as may arise tend to disrupt
and destroy the organization and are
therefore self-eradicating; while in
an autocracy, evils and excuses tend
inevitably only in the event of a re-
volt on the part of those who suffer
from such evils. This is the history,
not only of every form of artificial as
ISOLATION but also of nations.
"The fundamental question for the
nation to decide, for in the end public
opinion will control here as else
where, is whether the workers shall
have an effective means of adjusting
their grievances, improving their con-
dition, and securing their liberty,
through negotiation with their en-
ployers, or whether they shall be
driven by necessity and oppression to
the extreme of revolt.
"Where men are well organized, and
the power of employers and employees
is fairly we'll balanced agreements
are nearly always reached by nego-
tiations but, even if this fails, the
strikes or lockouts which follow are
as a rule merely cessations of work
until economic necessity forces the
parties together again to adopt some
form of compromise.
With the unorganized, there is no
hope of achieving anything except by
spontaneous revolt. Too often has it
been found that during the delay of
attempted negotiations, the leaders
are discharged, and new men are
found ready to take the place of those
who protest against conditions, With
out strike funds or other financial
support, the unorganized must achieve
results at once; they cannot afford
TO wait for reason and compromise to
come into play. Lacking strong lead
ers and definite organization, such
revolts can only be expected to change
to mob action on the slightest provo
cation.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
(By John M. Work.)

The private ownership OF the eX-
plotting industries enables the capt
talists to have and to hold possession
of the capital of the country and to
wrest from the toilers most OF the
value of their labor.
Whenever we see fit to abolish the
private ownership of the exploiting in
dustries, this exploitation will cease.
We will get the full value of our labor.
We will guarantee ourselves an oppor-
tunity to earn a living. Involuntary
poverty will be thing of the past
We have only ourselves to blame
If We lived in a country where the
workingman had no vote, it might be
otherwise
But in this country the average
workingman has a vote the same as a
capitalist The workingmen outnum-
Der the capitalists and their satellites
many times. The workingmen can
therefore bring exploitation, poverty,
and economic uncertainty to an end
by voting for the collective ownership
of the exploiting industries-by voting
together as they STRIKE together on
the job.
