FARMER ATTACKED
WITH A P|TCHF0RK

Minot, N. D., Feb. .--Emaruel
Trielwasser, aged 46, a prominent
Ward county farmer living six
miles from Sawyer, arrived in the
city yesterday and swore out a
warrant charging assault and bat
terry against William Fowel, his
neighbor.
1t appears THAT Fowel rented
Trielwasser's farm in 1914, both Of
the men entering into an agree

themselves. According to the
story of Trielwasser, they were all
Squared up'' with the exception
of load of hay which Fowel still
owed Trielwasser.
Fowel went to Trielwasser's 8
farm yesterday morning, it is said,
to take away considerable amount
of hay which belonged to him.
Trielwasser asked Fowel to leave
to leave the load of hay which he
owed him and Fowel is alleged to
have replied that he didn't have
anything coming When Triels
wasser attempted to keep the hay,
which he claimed was his by right,
Fowel is alleged to have given
battle.
He grabbed a pitchfork, it is
said, and went after Trielwasser,
who was jabbed through the fin
ger and struck on the head: In
raising hand to protect himself
the pitchfork came down with
enough force to break the bone Of
his arm in two places:
On his arrival in Minot yester-
s day Trielwasser went to the office

given medical attention. An Xyray

Larimore, N D., Feb. 1.-THE

ALLIES DISAGREE

NEW YORK.-The first possibility
of serious disagreements among the
allies is developing with the reluc
lance of Great Britain to put forth a
major effort 20 check the Teutons in
the Balkans.
The frequent war councils of the
allies, which recently have been oc.
curing in France, are now seen to
have been due to differences of opin.
ion concerning the Importance of the
Balkan operations.
The British have been for retiring
from the field, while the others, Ger.
tainly Russia and Serbia, are urging
re-doubled resistance. The British
government may tell the car that
since Slav interests are so seriously
threatened in the Balkans, Russia
ought to rescue them herself by buy.
ing way through Roumania for her
new Slav armies.
At this point the possibility of a
separate peace by Russia begins once
more to appear and complexities the
situation still further.

PLEDGE TO RESIST
CONSUMPTION PLAN
British Socialists Unite for Vigorous
Opposition to Governments
Intentions

According to The London Labor
Leader, the opposition against con-
scription is crystalizing all over Eng
land among the members of the indie
pendent Labor party. The Scottish
|. l.. p. branches, in conference at
Glasgow, declared themselves unani-
mously opposed to CONSUMPTION and
pledged the resistance of 10000 mem
bers against the measure, Lancashire
and Cheshire branches, also the Cor
ton Trades and Labor council, the
northeastern division of the party in
Newcastle, and separate protest meet
ings in other parts of Great Britain
adopted strong resolutions against
the governments attitude in this mat
ter.
The following resolution, adopted
in Glasgow, is sample of the spirit
that animates the l. l.. P:
This conference of branches of the
Independent Labor party in Scotland

alterably opposed to compulsory mill.
tary service in any shape or form,
whether partial or universal, and
pledges itself to support the national
administrative council in whatever
means may be necessary to prevent
both the enactment and the enforce
ment of any CONSUMPTION law.
Further, this conference, in the
event of any such law being passed,
recommends the members and adher-
ents of the l. l.. P. in Scotland of
military age to refuse to be compul-
sorily enlisted, and this conference
pledges to support such individual
members in their resistance to con-
scription."

HERE AND THERE
LOCAL NO. 1 TO GIVE CARD
PARTY XMAS NIGHT

AT the last regular business meet.
ing of Local Everett, the matter of
giving some kind Of holiday enter
tainment was brought up. 1t was
generally agreed that some sort of
social be given, and after some dis
cussion it was unanimously decided
to have Pedro party, to be held
Christmas night at The Forum, 1912
California St., the proceeds to be put
into the local treasury.
Comrade Henry Hanson, who is al
ways one Of the first to cooperate in
any plan to further the interests of
the local, made proposition that
should be taken advantage of by every
Socialist and sympathizer who intends
to celebrate the day by attending a
dance. He proposed that any one at
tending the party, whether as partici-
pant or spectator, might pay the cost
of admission into his dance, at Fra
ternal Hall, to the committee In
charge of the party, as part Of the
proceeds Of the evening. His talk
was greeted with enthusiasm.
A committee Of three was chosen
to take charge of the affair, who met
later in the evening. 1t was decided
to charge ten cents to those taking
part in the game to include light re-
freshment consisting of a cup of our
famous coffee and a sandwich. Fur
Their it was agreed to permit those
wishing to dance to pay only an addi-
tional fifteen cents admission to the
dance following the party.
An evenings entertainment, for
twenty-five cents, to be paid to the
local! This is a rare opportunity to
combine recreation with propaganda.
1t was voted to give Comrade Frank
Hebert full charge of the arrange
ments for the game. AS he has had
a great deal Of experience serving in
the same capacity for similar affairs,
there is no question as to the result.
Be assured that everything will be
done that is possible to make it an
event long to be remembered.
If you do not play, come and look
on and become acquainted. We ex-
pect to have music. After the party

sections that were in touch with this
International. These working people,
by the way, belonged mainly to those
handicrafts which were destined to
be displaced by the industrial prole-
tariat.
Under these circumstances, the old
International did not achieve even q
united denunciation of the politics Of
ruling class governments. Such a
united denunciation would at least
have demonstrated the unity of the
old International to the outside world,
although it would have had no prac-
teal influence in checking the inten-
tons of those governments, nor in
compelling them to observe the laws
of private morality and justice in the
relations of nations. What the old
International actually did achieve,
however, was a very liberal denuncia.
ton of it's own members. In these
mutual denunciations, the members
of the International themselves show
ed respect for the laws of private
morality and justice which could not
have been recommended as a model
for the international diplomacy OF
governments. On the contrary, the
ruling governments might well have
replied to the old International: "You
fellows are fine models of morality
and iustice!"
At all events, this attitude of the
members of the old International, and
this international politics suggested
by its leading head, did not agree
with the materialist conception of his
tory which was supposed to be their
scientific pilot. OF c5afi;e, nothing
better could have been expected from
the Bakounin crowd, for they had no
claim to the historical method Marx
Engels, however, and their own dis
ciples, who laid claim to the posses
sion of reliable method of histori-
cal Interpretation, certainly had rails
ed different expectations,

PREMATURE HOPES WITHOUT
FORESIGHT

In his inaugural address to the old
International, 1864, Marx expressed
the opinion that the workers should
be educated in their duty "to master
themselves the mysteries Of interna
tional politics; to watch the diplomat
ic acts of their respective govern
ments; to counterfeit them, if neces.
sary, by all means in their power;
when unable to prevent, to combine
in simultaneous denunciations, and to
vindicate the simple laws Of moral.
ity and justice, which ought to gov
ern the relations of private individ-
uals, as paramount rules in the inter
course of nations" This kind of in.
ternational politics was to be includ-
ed in the general struggle of the work
| ing class for emancipation.
| 1t proved to be very difficult mat
ter to master the mysteries of inter
national politics. AS for counteract-
ing and preventing the diplomacy of
the governments, it was altogether i'm
possible. The secret international dip.
lomacy of the ruling class govern
ments can be counteracted and pre-
vented only by a very efficiently or
ganiZed secret service that gains in
| formation about the secret intentions
of the rulers. OF course, the working
class did not have that kind of an in
formation service in those days any
more than we have today. To coun-
teract and prevent even the publicly
known policies of the governments,
we must be in possession of an inter-
nationally organized social power
strong enough to checkmate the or
ganized powers of government. The
old International did not possess such
power, nor do the Socialists parties
and labor unions of the present day
control such power as yet The old
international did not have any influ-
ence even over the most important
sections of the newly arising indus
trial proletariat of Europe, and, Of
course it had no influence whatever
over those sections of the petty bour-
geosie whose assistance was then
quite indispensable for any kind of
working class politics. More signifi-

leaders Of the old International could
not agree among themselves about
the proper methods Of regulating the
relation between national and inter
national politics. Such an agreement,
of course, would have been the very
first and most Indispensable condition
for a united international action of

CONSUMPTION IN
IN AUSTRALIA WANING

1t would seem that the cry of con-
scription in Australia has reached a
dead-end, for nothing has been heard
of it for several weeks past now.
The names of prominent capital
lists on the manifesto for conscrip-
ton gave the show away as to its
real meaning, and when organized
labor sat up straight and said what
it would do, CONSUMPTION talk faded
away in the gloom.
TELLING 1T ALL
One newspaper uncOnsciously gave
the show away in Sydney recently.
Under cartoon headed Hamlet up
to-date-John Bull soliloquises," it
said: ITO be, or not to be-that is
the question; whether it's wiser in
the end to suffer the strikes and lock-
outs of industrial warfare, or take
means against that sea Of trouble,
and by conscription end them?"
The workers then saw the real mo-
tives behind the conspiracy against
the working class. Conscription was
intended solely to end industrial trou-
BILE, to end the demands of the toiling
masses for economic justice. SO the
cat came out of the bag, and-well, it
got in the way Of the sharp axe WELD
ed by labor and we think it is dead,
