ton referred to his vote on the mill
tary bill when he and socialist mem
Der of Congress were the only two
votes against the bill, and stated that
since that time he had seen no rea-
son to change his position or to re-
gret his vote. Referring to the aims
ana purposes of the citizenship COM
mittee, he stated it was step in the
direction of a more intelligent cleo
tcrate and that if carried out as
planned it would tend to bring about
a much better understanding between
the employer and employee. He eX-
pressed his deep appreciation of the
committees efforts to awaken the
workers to the great responsibilities
that devolved upon them as citizens
and the educational efforts made to
have the worker vote intelligently.
NJ. j. Land of the railroad con-
ductors made an earnest speech in
which he scored militarism and COM
mended Mr.. Huddleston on his vote on
that question. He pointed out the many
advantages to be derived from CO.

 He declared that the enemies of the. empire were responsible for the continuation of the war, and it was the evident determination of Great Britain to refuse to consider peace terms until they discovered the in- evitable fact that Germany could not be conquered.
