Former Head of Mine Workers Pa
rolled After Serving 10 Months.

"Muckie" Mcdonald head of the

portation of miners who refused to
join his organization, is back in Butte

he was released on parole yesterday,
that "the other fellows can do the
fighting. Pm going to work." he
added.
"Muckie" came to Butte immedi-
ately after his release, but has kept
himself in seclusion, calling on only
few of his intimate friends, attor-
neys who defended him and the like.
He was sent to Deer Lodge in No
vember, 1914. At Deer Lodge he was
a model prisoner and the board Of
pardons parOled him. His parole will

WHY LIVE IN POVERTY?

Suppose you hire out to man for
SO a day to operate a machine, doesn't
your common sense tell you that the
man would not hire you unless he
made profit from your labor?
Doesn't it stand to reason that you
must produce enough to enable him
to pay you SO and leave a profit for
himself? Now, isn't it a fact that
you are paying him for the privilege
of working for him? Doesn't it look
to you that you are paying him in
stead of him paying you? You never
looked at it that way Ell? Well,
don't you think it about time you
did look at it in the way it really is?
The fact is you are paying him a
profit on your labor for owning
machine to which you must have ac-
cess in order to work at all. That's
clear, isn't it? Wouldn't it be better
for you to own the machine yourself?
But, you say, I haven't the money to
buy the machine, nor the money to
market the product of the machine,
and you are telling the truth about
it. There are a lot of workers in
the same fix you are. Individually
you are powerless to own anything,
but all of you must have access to the
various machines of production in or
der TO work and live. Why not own
all of the machines collectively,
through the government?
But. again you say,we don't con
troll the government, how can We
acquire ownership of the machines
through the government? Quite true,
you don't control the government, do
you? But why don't YOU? You have
the votes and you are largely in the
majority You can control the gov
eminent any time You have brains
enough to join the party of your class
and vote your own class into office.
You certainly cannot expect to ever
control the government, or get any
benefit from the government as long
as you persist in voting for the parties
that approve of this grating system.
Why pay a few over-fed plutocrats
to own the tools you work with when
by owning them yourselves through
your government you would not have
to ask anybody's permission to use
them? Get wise and use your votes
to capture the powers of government
With this power in your hands you
can make this old world a veritable
paradise in which to live. Why live
in poverty and the fear of it when
the way out is so simple?-Fresno

Karl Liebnecht, the famous Ger
man socialist and labor unionist who
is denouncing the ruling class for en-
gaging in the war, has been sentenced
to 80 months penal servitude and dis
missal from the army. The case will
be appealed to parliament, but it is
improbable that the decision OF the
military court will be revealed Lieb-
knecht's specific offense consisted in
organizing a meeting on May Day and
explaining the sufferings of the
masses of the people and laying the
cause where it belongs-at the doors
of capitalism.

Peace Will See European
Labor Trained Soldiers

America, or in the control of the gov.
eminent itself.
But even government ownership
will be of small advantage to the
people, for the government will hold
only the title, while the income will
be pledged to the capitalists who own
the securities. The situation of the
government will be about like that Of
the farmer who has the title to farm,
but has to pay the income to the
banker who holds the mortgage. Only
in France, where special efforts have
been made to make the government
securities available to the common
people, will this situation be greatly
modified
Must Earn Interest
The private soldier, at the end of
the war, will return home to find an
enormous burden of national debt His
direct taxes probably will be rela
lively light, the better to fool him
into acceptance of the situation, but
he will none the less have to pay,
even as he had paid in blood and suf-
fering throughout the war.
1t is estimated that in England and
Germany, at the end of the war, not
less than three days out of each
weeks work of every working man,
woman and child must go to pay the
debts which have been piled up.
The private soldier will see the
greater part of this three days prod
uct going to the bankers, manufac-
turers, merchants and leisured aristoc.
racy, who sounded their slogans of
Business as Usual" while he lay in
the trenches. He will see a smaller
part going to American bankers and
capitalists.
People Are Armed
The private soldier is then likely to
forget the obligations which his coun-
try assumed to native and foreign
capitalists while he was lodging bull
let's, and he is likely to rebel against
working three days week to pay
his nations debts.
If he does, his rebellion will be re-
spected, for he will have a gun and
know how to shoot and march-unless
enough troops remain loyal" to put
down the rebellion in a civil war.
1t is at this point that every effort
will be made to involve the United
States. We hold $1,000,0O0,000 or
more of foreign securities, and in the
face of possible reputation the pres
sure upon Washington will exceed
anything attempted in the case Of
Mexico.
What will happen then will depend
upon two things, the character Of the
national administration and the de-
gree to which the American people
understand the conditions abroad.

BREWERS STANDING FIRM

Wilmington, DELFT brewery pro-
prietors in this section were ever
hopeful that the attack against the
Wilmington Brewery Workers union
would prove successful, this thought
has long since been dispelled On
May 8, 1915, the Wilmington union
lists were locked out The clause
providing for the union shop and
union material wherever possible has
been a thorn in the side of brewery
proprietors. This city is the only
one throughout the brewery workers
jurisdiction where long hours prevail.
The strikers are as militant as the
day they were put on the streets,
and they are receiving the support
they deserve, not only from the Will
mington trade union movement, but
their international as well.

Need Of Arbitration.

The consiitutionality Of the Adam
son eighthour law Is questioned by
attorneys, and win ultimately be de-
termined by the highest court. That
it has ayerted one of the worst
calamities imaginable to American
business is its excuse for being, and
that seems sufficient at present. The
country has been spared the strain OF
finding out by actual experience just
what a nationwide strike would
mean, Europe when the undertook
1t. found world war more expensive
than even the experts figured, and
Europe isn't yet through reckoning
the cost. This country might have
found the same rule applied to rail
road strike, when the very prospect
OF such a calamity was sufficient to
upset business. At any rate, there
was great relief when 1t became ap-
parent that there was a way out
But Just because the strain was so
greet. and because the real results
would have been so disastrous, the
country has right to be saieguarded
against similar occurrence in
future. Panics which are disastrous
to business. and throw thousands out
OF employment. have been practically
legislated out OF business. Strikers
have never heen prevented by arbi
tlation act didn't accomplish that
/ but II does delay strikes and make
them fewer. And that 1T seems to
MS. is an advantage to labor as well
s-to society in general Strikes are
not always successful, but they are
always expensive sometimes costing
more than they are worth. Labor has
aibitrated many disputes, and has
never failed to make gains for Itself
by arbitration, and where arbitration
is used, the hardship OF strike
with violence which so frequently at
tends such measures, is ayerted.
Labor Is powerful in politics, jus
how powerful may he determined II

opposes compulsory arbitration
Therefore It may he impossible t.
enact law similar to the Canadian
law. Hut for It's own sake labo

The affidavit OF Arthur NJ Rich
must be shayen just bit. II is on
very first readtnr clearly seen to be
prompted by the meet 81 political
scoops supposedly beneficial to Al
lenlM. Fletcher and the Rutland Her
aid. Nevertheless, we should demand
f Ter explanation from Senator
Page before We judge him entirety IN
nocent OF manipulating clerk money
for his own gain.
Each senator is allowed money for
clerk hire whether or not he has the
Craftsmanship OF a committee We as
sumo that at the time Mr. Rich was in
Washington that a Miss Seymour was
acting as the senator's private secre-
taIy and in accord with the senator's
advertisement she was drawing one
half of the salary Of the assistant
clerk to the committee of which Page
was chairman Now who was draw
ing the allowance that Page had for
hiring a private secretary?
Page is right in saying that he did
what custom permitted but does he
agree that It is honest? When the
people Nay for a senator to have a pri-
yate clerk is it right for him to have
the clerks of the committee OF which
he is chairman attend to his work and
he pocket the $l25 a month allowed
for the private clerk? Is it right for
a senator to hire-a clerk for part time
and he pocket the diiterencein salary
or is it right for two or more members
to join in hiring a fifty-dollarsa-month
stenographer and pocket a still great
or difference? Does Senator Page do
any Of these things or does he agree
that the many who do, are honest?
Each member at Washington is al
lowed Sl25 each session Tor station
cry. This may be drawn in cash or
left to be drawn against in stationery.
Most members draw it all in cash.
And there is no record to show one
penny OF it was paid out for station
cry in such cases.
An congressman are members of
committees. If you are familiar with
congresses you know that at the open
ing of each session standing commit
tees get through sort OF blanket res
ohtion authorizing at the expense Of
the public such printing as may be
necessary" You viii also know that
this is interpreted to authorize the
printing Of stationery which is fur
nished to the members OF that com
mttee, So when we receive a letter
from q CONGRESSMAN the chances are
that It win be written not on the sta
tionery provided from his hundred
and twenty-five dollar allowance but
on the stationery OF the most infuen-
tial committee Of which he is mem
be-
This is small plumber but because
it is customary with members Of Con
eress does not Justify it. When did
Senator Page object to it? Or any
Vermont congressman? On cur desk
are five letters from the Vermont del
egation and all On the letterheads OF
their respective committees.
