OPPOSES CHILD LABOR

NEW YORK-''Isn't there some
thing wrong with our democracy
first slavery and then the cruel labor
of 100000 children?" asked DR.. Felix
Adler, in an address on Dangers to
Children in a Democratic Environ
ment"
There are $4,000 children between
10 and 10 years of age in gainful &C.
equations in the United States.
There are more than 100000 be-
tween IA and Is. In all, there are
a little less than 100000" said the
speaker, who urged the passage of
the Keating-Owen bill, which has
been reported favorably by the house
committee on labor. This bill would
debar from interstate commerce the
products of children under 16 years
of age in mines and quarries, and I'M
der IA years of age in factories and
workshops.

A RYAN WALKER SKETCH

Ryan Walkers work, powerful be-
fore in the service of mammon, for
the greatest dailies eagerly accepted
everything he offered, is now on the
side of humanity terrible in its sin
cerity. William Marion Reedy has
called him "The Art Evangel of Social
ISM" With mighty force he depicts
the unequal battle of might against
right of privilege against principle.
The browning work of his life is the
creation of those two characters that
will go down in history as celebrated
as the immortal Punch and Judy
Henry and Henrietta Dubb. Poor
Henry in his stupid attempt to stand
up for the system that has stolen his
birthright and robbed him of his brain
power excites audiences to peals of
laughter, and then before the laugh
subsidies Ryan has with incredible
quickness drawn another cartoon that
drives home the economic truth start
ling the brain cells of even the dull
est into action.
Ryan Walker will lecture in Oregon,
Idaho and Washington, commencing
next month. Watch for the announce
ments in this paper.

Why have leaders of the steel group
and the Standard Oil group gone out
of their way to present armored mo-
tor cars to the New York militia and
to throw all their influence back of
the demand for huge army and navy
and an aggressive foreign policy?
The answer is easy.
! If big business had had its way dur
! ing the past three years, American
armies would now be on Mexican soil,
and thousands of American boys
would have given their lives to pro-
tect the Mexican investments of the
Standard Oil Co., William Randolph
Hearst, the Guggenheims, Phelps,
Dodge & Co, Harrison Gray Otis, and
others of their kind.
! Mexico is only the beginning.

ZEE ON INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, WASHINGTON

OR. Richard p. Strong, the well
known medical expert, who last year
succeeded in completely preventing
the spread of typhus in Serbia, has
come with the American international
Corporation. He has had a world
wide experience in dealing with vari-
GUS foreign governments, and has es-
tablshed such friendly relations with
the people with whom he has worked
that his name has become famous
His specific duties will be to assist
in building up the new organization
with the right kind of young men, and
to follow up the men Of the organiza.
ton who are at work IN foreign coun-
tries; and also to take up any ques.
tons that may arise with foreign
countries in regard to sanitary and
health conditions, with the purpose of
being helpful to these people in such
matters and establishing friendly re-
lations which will be mutually bene-
ficial"
Could anything show more clearly
the intent to establish spheres of in
fluence, obtain influence or control
over weak foreign governments, and
thus to launch out or campaign of
commercial and Industrial imperial
ism, leading inevitably to government
tai and military Imperialism?
The same announcement tells us of
the election as vice president of Phil
ip Henry, a well-known engineer,
"who has given much of his time to
the investigation and construction of
railroad and other enterprises in
South America" and who knows the
engineering possibilities and Difficult
ties of that country perhaps as well
as any one in this country"
All very well. But
1t leaves a big question for you to
decide:

feet and take it's chances in these new
foreign enterprises? or,

a governmental and military imperial
and big armies to collect debts and
to protect Wall Street dollars already
bloody with exploitation at home,
from the wrath of the exploited peo-
pies of foreign lands?
It's about the biggest question of
policy this country has had to deter
mine since the Civil War.
Our preparedness champions pro-
fess fear of foreign invasion. They
ask if this country is not to defend
its liberties. The real question is
this:
DO you prefer to take your chances
with an imaginary European enemy
who is sure to be economically ex-
hausted and sickened of militarism?
Or do you prefer to give your as.
sent while this democracy is con-
quered from within, by act of con-
gress?
For if there's any difference be-
tween United States Steel or Stand
ard Oil and the worst militarist rul-
ing class in Europe, the advantage is
all with the latter, so far as democ.
racy, liberty and the rights of man
are concerned. Remember Youngs-
town, Bayonne and Colorado.
Chauncey M. Depew made a speech
at a Republican Club dinner in New
York the other night in which he let
the cat out of the bag. He said:
There will never be a foreign
commerce until the government pro-
tects American business and Ameri-
can rights in foreign countries. Aft
er our experience in Mexico, no
American capitalist would want to
take his family to Mexico or put his
money in an enterprise in that coun-
try unless he knew our flag would
protect him."
And don't forget Rear Admiral
Chadwick's paper before the Clarke
University Conference in which he
said:

for the wealth of the leisure class Of
a nation invested abroad"

Comrade John Reid, Socialist can
didate for the Alberta, Canada, legis-
lature for Red Deer riding, has been
sentenced to fifteen months in Jail,
having been found guilty of sedition.
Comrade Reid is veteran of the
Boer War. He fought for the British
government on behalf of internation-
al capitalists who wanted to get pos
session of the rich diamond mines
and fertile land and markets of South
Africa.
After fighting for His Country"
aud then seeing the jobs turned over
to Chinese instead of Bridshers, he
revolted. Later he became a Social
list and a well-versed student of the
Socialist philosophy. He has been a
candidate for political office on the
Socialist party ticket many times.
During his recent tour as candi-
date he stated in his lecture that "he
was British born but not proud of 1t, "
That he had no country" That the
European war was capitalists
war" That 'the British equalled the
Germans when it came to atrocities. -
He also advised the workers not to
enlist nor give to the patriotic fund.
This was the 'seditious" language he
used for which he received a sentence
of fifteen months.
