COMMERCIAL CLUB FOR MILlTARISNl:
ORGANIZED LABOR WILL OPPOSE IT

Ine Duluth Commercial club can be depended upon
TO 90 the unpopular thing at any time vote is taken
upon any proposition of public importance.
Last Friday evening at special meeting of the club
10 propositions affecting the national welfare were
voted upon. The chamber of commerce of the Tinted
States requested the Duluth Commercial club to register
its vote on 10 propositions relating to preparedness
national defense and mtarsm Six of the PROPOSITIONS
contain more less merit, but the other four are
ttcularly vicious.
The members of the club debated at length over the
proposition that universal military train
Ing be adopted as fundamental democratic principle
OF our military policy and be enforced by to furnish
adequate land, and industrial forces in peace and
war" When the vote taken on this proposition
but one member voted against it, Stillman H. Bingham
editor OF the Duluth Evening Herald.
But the vote such drastic military propos;ticn
by the Duluth Commercial club by no means voices
sentiments of the people of Duluth The members of
must not be mised into the belief that the
sentiments Of the Duluth Commercial club are the
ments of the majority of the people of this city, and
ticularly in the working classes.

BIG PLANT ON FIRE

Westinghouse Works Aflame,
Employees On Strike Forget
Grievance Against Firm.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 49,
Members of the volunteer fire bril-
gade of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing company, al
though out on strike, rushed into the
plant and extinguished a fire that
started in the paper baling depart
ment. For a time the fire threatened
serious consequences. The firenen
declare deputy sheriffs tried to pre-
vent them from entering the plant.
Ten firemen of Wilmerding, a. Pitts
burgh suburb, who had been sworn
~: E. f. ratrolmen, returned
to their engine house and announced
that they. would not work as police
men unless strike guards employed
by the Westinghouse concern were
kept off the streets. The guards were
quickly removed and the policemen
returned to their duties. Later the
guards again appeared on the streets,
but the ffremen were persuaded to
remain on duty as police until the
common council could act on the
metter., The firemen claimed the
guards were acting in a manner CAL
culated to provoke trouble.

Queer Reasoning Advanced By

citation of Manufacturers.

NEW YORK, May 49,; James A..
Emery, general counsel for the ma
tonal association of manufacturers

"economist." In his ADDRESS 20 the
convention of the National Metal
Trades association, he pkrdicted-as
others have-that mighty interna-
tional industrial war Wilt be started.
after the present European war closes
he then assumed that WORKERS in the
old world, Injured to suffering and
sacrifice during the past two years,
will. accept these conditions forever.
and that this fact places Americans
at a disadvantage in the struggle Off
markets.
Mr.. Emery presented this doleful
prospect to his sympathetic auditors:
This nation faces war, not a. san
culinary contest, but an economic
contest, between the industrial and
commercial forces Of the old world
and the new.
How are We to meet armies trans
formed into industrial organizations,
the unskilled raised to the zenith of
capacity. women workers trained in
large numbers to special dexterity
and excellence, and management
trained under the pressure of war
and backed by a people drilled in
self-denial to exercise in the contest
OF peace the virtues they have ac-
qulred in the discipline Of war? Are
we to meet this with high wage cost,
snort hours and low efficiency, while
they attack us armed with low wage
COSTS long hours and high eff
ciency?'

But nobody faltered. We were
still full Of that thrill of our early
enlistment-the old, lying idea
of '*patriotism'' that consists in
doing foolish and impossible
things at the bidding Of other
men who alone know the reason.
We made it out to the front
trench and dropped to the
ground, trembling and pale and
shaken. We: looked at one an
other-you can imagine what
was in that look.

no man there was mistaken or in

days we were at a depot in the

orders came to go to the trenches
in the Champagne it was not any
halfway business at all. Imme-
diately we were thrown into the
very outermost trench, in the
middle Of an unusually lively
action. =
Of all my terrible memories,
that. first experience of tue
trenches stands out as almost the
most terrible. We had to crawl,
flat on our faces, along a little
shallow ditch for a couple of hnn-
dred yards or more, and a whiz-

death, How many I saw killed
after that! But it was something

ADVISES VACATION
FOR BANK EMPLOYEES.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Comp-
trol1er of the Currency Williams has
called on national banks to furnish
information as to the number of en-
ployes who have not had vacations in
a period of five years preceding the
date of each call. The national bank
supervisor favors yearly vacations
because most men are physically
and mentally in shape to perform
their duties most efficiently when
they have the benefit of a yearly va
cation and because Of other obvious
advantages, including the better op-
portunity Of having an impartial
check made of books and accounts
of all employees while on vacation,
besides the training given under
studies and assistants"

Gated was in the Champagne,
near Suippes. In those early days
Of the war the Germans released
more ammunition than they did
later. They still had the idea that
they could break through quickly,
before France was prepared, and
get to Paris, though the first
Marine was already a matter Of
history and the French lines were
holding. FL a..
But it is personal history. I am
telling, not national. The point is
that at the very beginning the

appeal to strike breakers last week:

conditions. Wait till we get better
