STRAIGHT STUFF
FROM BERNARD SHAW

Bernard Shaw's new book of PLAYS
Just published, contains preface
which has aroused the clergy. He
discusses the conduct of the ministers
who preach Blessed are the peace
makers, for they shall be called the
children of Cod" and then devote
their energies to tanning the hatred
and flames of war.
In the appendix to "Androcles'
Shaw writes:
Great numbers of our clergy
have discovered they hate not
only their enemies, but everyone
who does not share their hatred
and that they want to fight and
force other people to fight
"They have turned their
churches into recruiting stations
and their vestries into munition
work shops.
But it has never occurred to
them to take off their black coats
and say, quite simply, L find in
the hour of trial that the Sermon
on the Mount is bosh and that I
am not a Christian. I apologize
for all the nonsense / have been
preaching all these years. Have
the goodness to give me a revolver
and a commission in a regiment
which has for its chaplain a priest
of the god Mars, my god.'
mot a bit of it! They have
stuck to their livings and served
Mars in the name of Christ to the
scandal of all religious mankind"

"Fellow dropt into the office the
other day and ordered the paper and
we were pleased Said it was a GOOD
paper, and we were glad. Said it was
more than worth the money to any
man Of intelligence, and we were
tickled Said it was the mainstay of
the town, and we were supertickled
Said it was the greatest booster and
the most reliable town-builder and
developer in this whole community
and we yelled with JOY. Paid for his
paper, and-we slid gently to the
floor in blissful Inconsistencies

No Pep in Preparedness
Parade

Organized labor was conspicuous by
its absence in the parade headed by
Colonel Hartley on the 4th of July.
Very little enthusiasm was shown as
the paraders marched, which was
composed of Everett business houses.

ment, fraternal orders, the county en-
gineers and county officials, a few
employees from the Lowell paper mill
carrying flag and the naval militia.
who, as bystander remarked, looked
as if they needed a square meal more
than anything else.
Not a single union organization was
in line, which proves that organized
labor can be stampeded no longer by
the iingoes and their press.
The colonel was the orator of the
day. He spoke about the city beauti-
full, etc, but said nothing about the
conditions at his slave pen, or why
the workers refuse to work for the
starvation wages he offers, but per-
haps his ardour was cooled by the re-
ception accorded him from the by
ISLANDERS on the line of march, for
after his talk of only a few seconds
duration the people applauded, no
doubt glad to get rid of him and en-
JOY the public wedding that followed.

A HARD CHARACTER

"You don't dissipate, do your?
asked the physician sternly of the
little, worried-looking man who was
about to take an examination for life
insurance. You're not fast liver or
of that sort, are your
The little man hesitated a moment,
looked a bit frightened and then piped
out: well, | sometimes chew a little
gum"

Does unionism pay? Statistics is
sued by the Cigar Makers Interna-
tional Union covering the past year
fully answers the question For sick
benefits, the sum of $21O,427S7 was
expended: death benefits, $27S, 500. Ga;
strike benefits, $9,94756. The total
paid for all purposes, excluding loans,
for 1915, is $G21 ,S39.07. while the
grand total Of all benefits, including
loans, in 90 years and two months, is
$4,000 25449. Many local unions also
paid out extra out-of-work benefits and
expended large sums for relief of
members i'm addition to sums provided
for hy the international These
amounts cover only one of the many
iaterua uonal unions, but it is an OBJ

The object of the organization is:
To promote the welfare of wage earn
ers. To discountenance the sweat
shop system of production by aiding
and encouraging the sale of union
made goods To abolish child labor,
to secure equal pay for equal work;
regardless of sex. To aid the Sunday
and early closing movement To sus-
tain fair employers. To gain a uni
versal eight-hour day. To urge in
dustrial and political equality for
women.-Jackson Square Deal.

William Jennings Bryan is credited
with the remark, THAT the people get
exactly what they vote for Are the
striking union men getting what they
voted for when Commissioner Kelly
was elected as commissioner of public
safety? It's a safe wager that labor
will hereafter vote for a candidate
that is bound to labor by something
more than a political promise.

COLONEL HARTLEY
BARS UNION LABEL
Says He Is Consistent Champion
of Liberty

of Liberty
Roland H. Hartley, candidate for
governor on the republican ticket and
alleged part owner of the Clough-
Hartley mill, which is being operated
by a crew Of strike-breakers, will not
allow the union label to be used on
the printed matter sent out during his
campaign. according to an announce
ment sent out by his Seattle head
quarters, after receipt of a reply from
Colonel Hartley to the chairman of
his Seattle committee.
The letter in part states: "All my
life l have been a consistent cham,
pion of liberty and the right of any
man or woman to work when and for
whom he or she may please without
the dictation of agitators who are
well fed and groomed at the expense
of both the employer and employe,
and whose personal well-being seems
to be in proportion to the amount of
chaos they can create in our in
dustrial life"
The colonel comes out square as
labor hater, admitting that the en-
ployers furnish the funds to create
riots when the workers are striking
for better wages and conditions Of en-
ployment, that they are in favor Of
the blacklist, the open shop, the
thug the gun-man, assassin and all
the vicious elements that infest So
ciety. He is a consistent advocate Of
liberty for his class to force the
worker to accept the miserable wages
he offers or starve.
He does not state, however, that
the Labor Journal refused his cam
paign advertisement because he is
unfair to labor.
We are glad the colonel casts off
his sleeps clothing and takes his
true position as an enemy of the
worker. We wish the rest of the
politicians would do likewise as it
tends 10 educate the worker to a
realization of his class interests, and
to vote only for members Of his own
class.
When labor awakens to the fact
that these industrial parasites are
not necessary in society, that we can
produce food, clothing and shelter in

A fellow asked me the other day if
Everett union men would vote this
fall for candidates for Snohomish
county offices that have the endorse
ment of the Everett Commercial Club.
We do not think so, We predict
union men this year will vote the
straight labor ticket. What say you,
brother?

IF Won want dog to become vicious
all you have TO do is to chain him.
Farmers chain their dogs that they
may become vicious. You chain a
people and YOU make them more

that they have been injured or
wronged and you viii make hypocrites

VIII preserve their mental equilibrium.
