HOW ARE UNION MEN
ON PREPAREDNESS"

. Not infrequent is this question
asked: ''How are union men on the
question OF 'preparedness?"
That there is not one who would
not make any sacrifice needed to pro-
tect this country in time OF need, We
know.
Organized labor itself is a state OF
preparedness. To be prepared to pro-
tect the workers is what we organize
for. This country tire .tened and our
powerful national and international
organization would be among the
first to take steps to protect Aemrica.
In every emergency organized labor
has been at the front-and always
will be.
So we say. unhesitatingly that it is
our opinion all that is needed to gain
the full support of organized labor's
members is to convince them Of just
What is needed, and the leaders Of
labor today are convinced that the
time is here when our beloved govern
ment must take. some radical step that
will guarantee to us a. continuation Of
the integrity OF democracy.
Organized labor's leaders believe,
however, that the first step in the d.
rection of preparedness should be to
get out from under the influence OF
the greedy munition and gun factor
les. Believes that if war vessels are
to be built, munitions manufactured
in unlimited quantities., that the gov
eminent itself should provide the fac
tories and the means. Believeg there
would have been no war in Europe
had it not been for the influence Of
those who control the privately owned
gun factories OF that oppressed coun-
try. Believes the war in Europe is
a war Of greed. ....
Leaders of labor have the utmost
confidence in President Wilson. Be-
lieves his policies have kept this coun-
try from being at war; that his face
is set against war; that his present
plans are not to bring on war but to
avert war. Believing as they do, we
have not the slightest doubt that when
his plans are fully developed that
they will be heartily supported.---

age, and that there must be wages
which fall below $3.50. Seven hun

careful computations of numerous
Investigators, is the minimum amount

MANY MINDS

This worlds a place where life's a
race,
Not always on the square,
But it's not sin to want to win
And try to do it fair,
Though many minds and adverse
winds,
And envy and deceit.
Would check our song, our toll pro-

And our best plans defeat.
Let's do our best, for that's the test
OF lofty and of low.
To strive for right with all our might.
The best that we may know.
No more than this in realms of bliss
Can ransomed angels do.
In time well spent blest content
Will be our spirits due.
The right and good misunderstood.

Though blight and blame remain the
same, d.
True good howe'er disguised.
A. many minds and various kinds
Make up the multitude,
Then every soul strive for the goal, :
One ideal-brothsrhood.

AGAINST FARMERS AND CITY "


Representative Lindberg of Minnesota says in a re-
port against the fake rural credits bill known as the
Moss Bill in this Congress:
This proposed rural credit system avoids taking
anything that banks want Since they want everything
that is of value the farmers nothing of value
in this bill"
The bill is a positive, definite injury to working
people OF the cities we'll as to farmers
II this bad Moss Bill is enacted it will make It more
difficult than for the city worker or the tenant
farmer to get access to the land or the borrowing

The same banking monopoly that has it's grip on

bill, over agricultural industry.

FRANK B. KELLOGG FOR U. S. SENATOR?

FRANK b. KELLOGG FOR U. S. SENATOR?
Frank B. Kellogg, chief Minnesota counsel for the
United States Steel Corporation after declaring that
he would not has finally decided to become candidate
for the Republican nomination for the United States
senate against the present Incumbent Moses E. Capp
There is no question about Mr.. Kelloggs ability.
He is great lawyer, careful student of social and
political subjects and able statesman If elected
the senate he would occupy prominent place in
that great body Men of Mr.. Kellogg's attanments
are indeed But there must stop.
Mr. Kellogg, as attorney for the government in the
suit to dissolve the Standard Oil company, occupied
strange and singular position, for he at the time
the recognized legal representative in Minnesota
of the United States Steel corporation another great
trust similar to the Standard Oil company in every
respect One controls the iron steel the country
and the other the oil supply. Both organized

operating in restraint of trade that more
bold than the other That is the steel trust did give
the little fellows fighting chance, while the Standard
Oil company merciess in it's attitude towards all
competitors.
1t here that Frank B. Kellogg attorney for the
government and the steel trust, played his part we'll
The Sherman antitrust law in it's letter declared to
be unlawful any and all combinations operating between
the several states in restraint of trade. BY
peculiar process reasoning Mr. Kellogg emphasized
the fact that the Standard Oil company had resorted
to undue restraint of trade and for this should
be dissolved The supreme court accepted his view
the Standard Oil company dissolved, and by in
ference all combinations that did not undue

The court made law and nullifed the purpose of
the Sherman law.
So Mr.. Kellogg in his dual capacity counsel for
the government and the steel trust decision
favorable to both of his clients although he only openly
appeared for of them No wonder big business in
Minnesota wants such accommodating and versatile
lawyer in the United States senate.
We have no quarrel with Mr. Kellogg; we admire
his splendid ability, but Minnesota needs something
more than with ability in the United States senate
She should have men with visions, to whom it
would be necessary to appeal for votes confirm a
Louis D. Brandeis court justice, men whose
associations and environments such that they
depended upon at all times to vote the side of the
people. Mr.. Kellogg, if elected afford to be

There will be a hot time in Minnesota politics when
Mr. Kellogg enters the contest for States
