ular institutions. with the acceptance
of such an ideal our democracy is
doomed to ultimate destruction. Per
sonal rights must be recognized as
supreme and of unalterable ascend
ency over property rights. Relief
from these grave evils cannot be Sc
cured by petty reforms. The action
must be drastic and directed at the
roots from which these evils spring"
The pretense of open shop" advo-
Gates Is exposed thusly;
"oPEN SHOP" WRONG IN
PRINCIPLE
THE theory of the open shop ac-
cording to these witnesses (employ-
ers), Is that workers are employed
without any reference to their mem
bership or non-membership in trade
unions; while, as a matter of fact, it
was found upon investigation that
these employers did not willingly or
knowingly employ union men. Never.
theless, this is deemed to be a minor
point The open shop even If union
men are not Disseminated against, Is
as much denial of the right of col
lective action as is the 'anti-union
shop In neither is the collective &C.
ton of employees permitted for the
purpose of negotiating with reference
to labor conditions. Both in theory
and practice, in the absence of legis
lative regulation, the working condi
tons are fixed by the employer. II
is evident, therefore, that there car
at best be only a benevolent despotism
where collective action ON the part Of
employes does not exist"
In discussing "Women and Children
in Industry" the report says:
"As a result of their unprotected
condition, women and children are ex
plotted in industry, trade, domesti,
service and agriculture, to an exten
which threatens their health and vel
fare and menaces the well-being of fu
ture generations. The competition o
women and children is a direct men
ace to the wage and salary standard
OF men. Under present conditions
children are permitted by their par
ents to go to work largely becaus,
their earnings are necessary for tn,
support of the rest of the family"

Richmond, CAL Aug. IS, 1915.
Secretary Local Everett
Dear Comrade-I note the reply to
your Locals resolution by E. Inter
mann in the Oakland World. Inter
mann is valuable man in our move
yment, but in this case he has depart
ed this life wherein is the class strug-
gle, and gone to be with the defenders
of the Fatherland. His whole argu-
ment is delusive. He is palpably
building a defence for the Kaiser's
men who are patriots first and Social
lists afterwards-m The plea that
we ought to fall down in crisis be-
cause we are not the government by
regular election, is of a piece with
the obsesson that sent our German
erstwhile comrades to the trenches.
War is war, and it has no place in
it without compromising. Ten thou
sand Socialists uniformly and unitedly
resisting the inception of war to the
last struggle and the last drop of blood
would paralyze war preparations in
this country. Such action would not
be logical" and orderly" Probably
it would be doomed to defeat as I'm
termann suggests. So was John
Browns raid. So were the rebels at
Bunker Hill and Lexington. But it
would stop war, and some of us care
more for that than for brushing of
clothes on dress parade or even for
the counting of ballots. We might be
hung or shot and probably would be,
but that would not be strictly new in
the worlds history. Political action
as opposed to individual action is
necessarily the worlds rule, but some
times new ideas have to force their
way in. I believe the Socialist Party
should take stand of unqualified OPP
position to war and maintain it to the
last extremity l for one will gaily
mount the scaffold or face the firing
squad if necessary.
Yours for Socialism,
o. J. GIBBONS,
Sec'y. Local Richmond.

CAUSES OF UNREST :

The report summarizes the causes
of industrial unrest as follows:
Unjust distribution of wealth and
income.
Unemployment and denial of oppor-
tunity to earn a living.
Denial of justice in the creation, in
the adjudication and in the admins
tration of law.
Denial of the right and opportunity
to form effective organizations.
1t is shown that A families possess
aggregate incomes totaling at least
$50 100000 per year, while between
one-fourth and one-third of male work
ers in factories and mines, 10 years
of age and over, earn less than $40 per
week and only about one-tenth earn
more than $40 per week.
To check these swollen, unearned
fortunes, it is recommended that con-
gress pass an inheritance tax law and
that all funds of deceased over ST.
100000 revert to the government. In
support of this action the report says:
"These heirs, owners only by vir
tue of the accident of birth, control
the livelihoods and have the power to
dictate the happiness of more human
beings than populated England in the
middle ages. Their principalities, it
is true, are scattered and, through the
medium of stock ownership, shared in
part with Others but they are none
the less real. In fact, such scattered,
invisible industrial principalities are
a greater menace to the welfare of the
nation than would be equal power
consolidated into numerous petty
kingdoms in different parts of the
country. They might then be visual
lied and guarded against-now their
influence invisibly permeater and con
trolls every phase of life and industry.
"The families of these industrial
princes are already well established
and are knit together not only by com
mercial alliances, but by a network of
inter-marriages which assure harmo-
NOUS action whenever their common
interest is threatened"

Federal Probcrs OF Industrial
Unrest Complete Report

The United states commission on
industrial relations adjourned sine die
after giving final approval to n re-
port that will be filed with the clerk
of the house of representatives for
presentation to congress, when 1t con
venes next December.
The commission has issued excerpts
of the report, which includes supple
mental views of all the members.
The principal report prepared by
Basil M. Manly, the commissions di-
rector of research and investigation
covers every phase of industrial un-
rest and the causes therefor. This Is
approved by Chairman Walsh and
Commissioners O'Connell, Lennon and
Carretson. It declares the crux OF
the whole question of industrial rela-
lions is: "Shall the workers, for the
protection of their interests, be organ
lied and represented collectively by
their chosen delegates, even as the
stockholders are represented by their
directors and by the various grades
of executive officials and bosses?"
In its plea for a wider extension OF
democracy in industry, this report
says:
"The ordinary man, whether EN-
ployer or worker, has relatively little
contact with the government. If he
and his family are well fed, well
housed and wei clothed, and If he
can nav for the education of his chill
dren. he can exist even under an auto
cratic monarchy with little concern
until some critical situation develops
in which his own liberty is interfered
with or until he is deprived of life
or property by the overwhelming pow
err of his tyrannical ruler But his
industrial relations determine every
day what he and his family shall eat
what they shall wear, how many hours
of his life he shall labor and in wha
surroundings. Under certain condi
lions where his individual or corpor
ate employer owns or controls the
commodity in which he lives, the edu
cation of his children, the charactel
and prices of his food, clothing ant
house, his own actions, speech ant
opinions, and in some cases even hi
religion, are controlled and determin
ed, insofar as the interests of the EN-
ployer make it desirable for him t.
exercise such control. Such condition.
are established and maintained no
only through the dictation of all work
ing conditions of employment by TIL
employer but by his usurpation o
control of the functions and machineri
of political government in such CON
munities."

UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM
AND IT'S REMEDY

1t is declared that the unemploy,
ment situation will not be "appre-
Gladly relieved" until great advances
have been made in removing the two
prime causes-unjust distribution of
wealth and monopolization of land
and natural resources.
Under the head Denial of Justice, 4"
the numerous charges of workers are
supported and the report declares:
The establishment of property
rights and personal rights on the
same level can leave only a constant
and ever growing menace to our pop

RUTGERS IS READY
FOR INVASION Of
THE TIGERS LAIR

Secret practice in preparation for
the Princeton game is on the pro-
gram for the Rutgers varsity every
afternoon this week. The players
came through Saturdays game with
out injury, with the exception of
Hasbrouck, who has twisted
ankle. He will be all right in day
or two.
Wittpenn and Kelley, haifbacks.
and Miller, center, who did not start
against Albright, are being framed
for Princeton and are expected to be
in good shape. Wittpenn is star on
both offense and defense, while Kel-
ley is one of the best offensive backs
in the squad. Rutgers is fortunate
this season in having two fast sets OF
backs. Last years including Bra
cher, Wittpenn, Garrett and Scarr,
are still eligible and probably will
start against Princeton. Hasbrouck,
Kelley, Elliott and Bowlby are fast
men and will give the regulars a
hard fight for berth on the first
team.
Gene Rockefeller, Penn halfback
last season, arrived here today and
worked with the scrubs in a shOr
scrimmage. Sanford will devote his
time this week to drilling the men in
the plays to be used against Prince
ton
Princeton Men Give No Odds.
Is the Rutgers-Princeten game an
even thing so far as betting is con-
cerned?
Followers of the Rutgers team
hardly think so, but Princeton men
do. Supporters of the Tigers are de-
manding even money instead of CIV
| ing odds. Even money is prevailing
on the exchanges in New York, where
there are many rabid Princeton and
Rutgers men. William B. Hanna, in
: the New York Sun, writes that the
game is an even proposition, as fol-
| lows:
Foster Sanford was down looking
over the Tigers and the Princeton
Rutgers game next Saturday will be
the most important second Saturday
| battle in many seasons. 1t is con-
sidered an even thing. There was a
lot of rawness in Princeton's play
against Georgetown, but the team
was Tesourceful, vigilant and, though
former Tiger player says the back
field lacks versatility, the play had
much variety"
Some writers are evidently expect
ing the Rutgers team will go stale,
because of the early start made.
Walter Trumbull, in the New York
World, writes:
''If Foster Sanford's Rutgers
eleven does not go stale on him, they
ought to give Princeton a whale OF
| a battle next Saturday."

Eesthoven's Last DAYS.

Beethoven had troubles besides the
scourge of deafness Throughout his
life the conduct of his brothers irked
and grieved him, and when on the
death of one of them he adopted his
orphaned son that nephew's outrageous
conduct broke his heart. Then he felt
the sting of poverty. Dying, he would
have lacked the very necessaries of a
waning life had it not been for the
Philharmonic Society OF England. The
society has never boasted Of the fact
but a fact it is that q douceur of f10O
sent by it to Beethoven at his last
gasp made death less martyrdom to
the famous musician than 1t otherwise
would have been.-London Graphic.
