an attempt to obtain his release from
the Trenton penitentiary, to which he
was sentenced for an address deliver

NEUTRALITY
AN INCIDENT IN THE

"Don't cry, Denny boy; Daddy will

Day after day Mrs. Cahill had prom
Used hopefully the relief that had not
come. Patiently she had wheeled her
invaid's chair about the tiny kitchen
and living room preparing the bare
necessities of life for herself and
sunny haired three year-old Denny,
her only solace in the absence of her
man, away in search of work.

gurgled her infant protector as he
pumped down upon an old newspaper
carpeting the floor.
For a time the childish prattle

The mother wheeled her chair near

"A munitions tram-train laden with
10000 pounds of high explosives was

between the workers of the United
States of North America and the Re-
public of Mexico is pointed out by Mr..
Gompers in his letter, where he speaks
of the united strike of the Mexican
ami American miners in the Clifton
Mbrenci fields of Arizona. This was
pl| actically won by the complete soli-
darity of the Mexican miners, who
numbered over half of the 5000 men
then on strike.
Having no political significance, be-
ing entirely international in it's aims,
the proposed conference is looked up
on as being the great human touch
absolutely necessary at the present
time to give confidence to the Mexi-
can working class in it's relations with
the people of the United States. Mill
tary conferences, political conferences,
commercial conferences, all may stage
themselves along the border and all
be regarded by the Mexican worker
as a mere turn of the wheel, which
brings no change in his age-long SER
vitude But a meeting of wage work.

MAY DAY IN SCOTLAND

May Day was celebrated in all the
big towns of Scotland on May 1. In
Glasgow more than 200 organizations
took part in the parade. The demon
stration on Glasgow Green was mag

A large crowd, totalling not less than
10000, assembled around IA plat
forms, from which some 60 speakers
spoke in favor of peace and interna-
tional brotherhood Such tremend-
ously earnest and united gathering
has not been seen in Glasgow in our
time, and it augurs we'll for peace.

THE EVER-SWELLING
STREAM OF PROFITS

Concentration of Americas growing
wealth in the hands of comparatively
few men is the greatest danger threat
ening the nation, John Shelton Will
liams, comptroller of the currency,
declared in an address at convention
of the Tennessee Bankers association.
Williams said the rapid increase in
wealth of the United States was pro-
ducing an ostentatious leisure class,
which is a danger even more than
angered poverty. In almost exact ra-
ito as wealth and capital increase, the
bitterness against wealth and capital
also increases, he declared.

Meyer London made such a stub

house was delayed for nearly three
hours, and no vote was reached
The Socialist member attacked the
Porto Rican government bill on two
points: Requirement that senator's of
the legislature must possess at least
$1,000 in property, though they need
but two years residence on the island,
and on the property and educational
qualifications of voters.

SOCIALIST PEACE MOVE
BOTHERS BRITISH RULERS

The peace propaganda of the indie
pendent Labor party is hampering the
English authorities considerably. The
war sentiment among the English
people is weakening. The introduction
of compulsory CONSUMPTION and the
hard measures taken by the govern
ment against English labor leaders
have done much to dampen the war
enthusiasm of large masses. The
British government seems determined
to make itself still more unpopular by
continuing on this course.

German efficiency and might also be

progress towards Socialism, as one
more striking illustration of such pro-
