WINNIPEG
 GOES DRY

WINNIPEG, June 3.-Prohibition went into effect yesterday withou; any very much change in conditions. Saloon men had already made all preparations for getting out of bus mess and the closing took place without a hitch. They had been notified by the police that no such orgies as marked the closing down of saloon in other ctatcs or pro- vinccs would be tolerated and in consequence everything was very quiet. One saloon which attempt ed to donate booze was promptly closed up five hours before the law went into effect. Manitoba is now dry

WHY THOSE TEARS?"

The Industrial Worker received on the last mail number of circu- lars from the Bethlehem Steel Co., all in protest against the establish ment of a government armor plate plant. Not that 1t is very vital con- ccrn to the Industrial Worker-the Bethlehem Steel can go as far as they like on that.
 But the point is that the co n- pany very logically end conclusively proves that the manufacture or armor plate is carrie1 on at at . dead loss with little or no proht; that the profits of the compeny do not come from armor plate now or at any time; that tho government cannot make armor plate cheaper and that if it does it will be doing the company rather service than not in taking away from the Bethle- hem Steel an unprofitable business
 It is kind and thoughtful and al- truistic on the part of the Bethle- hem Steel to circularize against the pork barrellism of an eleven mill lion dollar arm"r plate plant. The question only arises why do they so concern themselves? Why don't they let Uncle Sam do the worry ing? Why. if tho armor plate industry is not a lucrative one and they are not getting their profits from that source why if the manufacture of armor plate is only carried on as a patriotic duty, do they shed these tears?
 Is 1t that keen and far-sighted patriotism in this instance as in it's advocacy of preparedness inspires this company

INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.

They had a law in the state ot Colorado which is intended to end strikes. If all laws which effect their purpose are good in them selves, surely no one ought to kick on the Colorado law. Thus the other day the tailors who have been been seeking to strike in Colorado after submitting their case to the State Industrial Commission with notice of their intention to Gtrike in last November have in April been notified that their demands were just, and they were authorized ii they thought fit then to strike When this permission was gracious ly extended them, tho dull season had supervened; arrangements had been made for outside firms to take care of all orders end they could'h advantage themselves or harm the employers by striking.
 With this example before them, the several hundred smcltormen employed at Leadville refused to obey the law and struck without referring the matter to the Indus triGl Commission and Governor Carlson in a weigtty proclamation declared them guilty Of a brazen and insolcnt defiance of tho lew He eaid the entire machinery of the State government, if they did no' return to work would be brought into action promptly and effective ly''
 As a part of industrial prepared ness, this Colorado law is little bit ahead.
 But if a man cannot strike an1 must remain at work and the en- tire machinery of the Stote govern ment is to be brought into cct;on to make them work for what tho em- ployors like to concode, what sort Of Q thing is slavery any how?

who work would love to see none but the representatives of the work ing class in control of the law mak- ing bodies and in charge Of the Governments administrative offices, but why wait for remedial laws and their proper enforcement until that far distant though happy day has arrived.
 Here the Journal believes in re- medial legislation, under wHich comes the eight hour day &s much as the Seamen's act.
 We do not say that the socialists have any better program to offer. But we do say emphatically they have g more consist ,nt one. They haven't a Gompers taking up po- siticn and having that position de- scribad as an Independent political policy even while such rcmadial le- gislation as thc eigtt hour day Is emphctscally doncunced under the system, while the Journal boosting the aforesaid politic:.f policy offers a sacrefice of cloquence on the altar of remedial legislature.
 As we see it, the Seamcn's law suffers from what the eight hour law suffers from in various places, Alaska among others. The law Is reduced to a nullity by official bar naclcs who will not do their duty.
 As we sec it, according to the Gompers argument on the eight hour day proposition, the Seamen' s Act is untimaly because it assumes to change by legislative enactment condition of things the economic organization is not strong enough to literally enforce.
 The socialists aIe on the wrong trccks-maybe. They probably are. Pure end simple political action is as vain as possible where iG no eco homie organization ut it's back.
 Without it, the failure to enforce the labor legislation only serves to prove that the vital necessity fer an economic organization, fer more and vitc fly moro than cny such thing as labor politics.

REINFORCING THE LAW"

A timely article Tn the Coast Seamens Journal takes the socialist party to task for sneering at the American Federation of Lebor's po- litical policy and embracing tho op- portunity to swat the independent political policy of the Federation.
 And it is further Illuminating to note that the Journal points out that the law was placed upon the statutebooks "by tho right thinking men of both parties" and at some time in the future the right think ing men of the parties vii make Il warm for the officials who fail to properly enforce the law.
 It is really one of tho astounding things about the independent poli- tical policy of the American Fedora tion of Labor, to use the Journals brilliant description, that even those responsible for it Go not understand it, and how then the lesser intellects of the rank and file arc to grasp It remains an unanswered question.
 To explain: In the first place we all know the firm, undaunted ana vociferous opposition of Gompers and other leaders responsible for the independent political policy of the American Federation of Labor to the eight hour law because of the fact that such enactments must first be initiated and backed by labor agitation and the economic power of labor. To enforce his view on this proposition Gompers went to the uttermost limits of contemn- ing the strength of the workers po- litically. His reliance was placed firmly upon the economic strength. His position had at least the ID crit of being correct, for most labor laws ara llonored in the breach where there is not an economic organiza- tian strong enough to see that 'Eey are enforced and the eigte hour day Will bc enforced whether the: e is a law on the statute books or whether there is not in the latter event.
 We discover now that the Journal expounding another view of thIs political policy says of the Sesmen's Act.

Recruits are few and hard to get, so that at the present rate it is estimated tha; it will take six months or more to recruits even the twenty thousand authorized when the invasion first began. At that rate it is easy to figure out. how many troops Uncle Sam would have with the colors al the termination of the regular ser vice. Of course, the alternative of granting better wages might be taken but then the question ot where to raise the money turns up. About everything imaginable is al ready taxed, and those who have to bear the income tax are certainly not so patriotic" that they would stand for still more pressure, even for the sake of greater mil.tarism.
