War is hell, and an inhuman, bar
 barous and savage hell. There is not a thing the Germans have done which the Allies would not do if they had a half show. If they had Zeppelins or dirigibles more deadly than Zeppelins they would be using them over German cities just as they raided Karlsruhe and other places with aeroplanes. The Ger mans executed Miss Cavell, the French executed Miss Schmidt. The Germans killed Captain Ryat, the British executed Irish prisoners of war who surrendered in Dublin. They are all tarred with the same bloody and dirty brush, every mothers son of them. War is capi- talist violence, naked undisgused and exposed in all it's open brutal ity. The wrappings of the rulers and the ruling class which made their methods appear civilized and humane, and concealed the element al secret of their authority and their rights, are exposed in the nak- ed and hideous display of Might.
 Why should Germany apologize , for it's Zeppelin raids? Why should France or Great Britain attempt to excuse their aeroplane raids? It is war, plain, bloody war materialized and real and existing for the pur- pose of causing the intensest suffer- ing, the cruellest horrors, the great est possible destruction upon the enemy nations. There is no use in Germany or any .other nation add ing to it's terror and it's hideousness, the contemptible vice of hypocrisy. That only adds to the degradation of the nations which attempt to ex- cuse or palliate their atrocities.

FOOD PRICE BOOSTERS.

Last May, the German authorities prosecuted and severely punished several subjects who engaged in boosting the price of food in order to increase their profits.
 Germany is at war and is block aded. In consequence German food supply became restricted and it was necessary that food be supplied through government channels, in order at least that all might obtain enough to live upon.
 Notwithstanding this crisis, the speculative instinct of a good many got the better of the public need and they sent prices soaring. The government saw in this nefarious act and punished it accordingly.
 And it was. It sent the costs or decent living up above any possible chance of the average person reach ing them, and ended in considerable suffering all round.
 But why, in the name of common sense and plain reason, should it require a war to check this nefari' ous conduct upon the part of the food or necessity boosters? Why should it be confined to any nation at peace or in war? Why is it not done as a rational precaution in all countries, if human welfare is the first consideration in society?
 Come to think of it, if every pack ing trust, commission ring, food combine and other commercial agency engaged in the simple pur- suit of boosting prices for their own profit in the United States and so driving up costs of living to aviation heights, were taken by the scruff of the neck and the seat of their pants by Uncle Sam and landed in a bleak and lonely desert isle for all time, the country would benefit thereby.

SCABS.

A former resident of Sing Sing prison for an uncomfortable crime was in charge of street car during the recent traction strike in New York. This strIkebreaker-convict or convict-scab ran over and killed person on the street because he did not understand the brakes. He wasn't prosecuted and never will be. But that is neither here nor there. The thing of beauty to admire is the sort of outlaws that employ CTS force into their service to lower wages and to prevent the workers obtaining sufficient to live upon. To keep the unionists from winning out in Seattle, the Steamship companies introduced into that city number of negro rapists. These degenerates all find in scabbery their lowest level.

THE LONGSHORE STRIKE.

While it would be premature to say that the Seattle water front strike is lost, it can be said that the outlook is none too favorable. And the fault is not in the spirit of the strikers, but in the obsolete me- thods of organization which made possible the betrayal of the workers in one port by those of another.
 Going out originally to assist San Francisco, the unionists in the latter city returned to work cegarl- less of the results of their action on the water front conditions in other ports. Controlled in Sau Fran cisco by a bunch of political fakirs, rotten to the core with graft and high bindery, the Puget Sounl men have been disgracefully betrayed.
 There is no reason why labor should attempt to conceal these facts for they are facts, and just as long as the miserable tactics of craft un,onism are emrioyed just So long will the workers be what they are
 Complete success in such strike could have been promptly gained had all the transportation workers struck simultaneously. Why shouldn't the sailors who have handled freight have walked out as well as the dock workers? And just as long as the labor of the seamen helped to keep the ships moving, to that vital extent they aided and abetted the defeat of the longshore- men. They fought the fight of the employers and although they are all eager to acclaim their unionism, they were strikebreakers on the union dock workers, just as cer- tainly as the men who were i'm ported to work on the docks.
 There is no hope for labor as long employers can pit one set of union men against another. There is no hope for victorious strike just as long as the workers will not make the cause of one the cause of all. The dock workers and the sailors are doing the same work. They are all workers in the transportation inr dustry. They all assist in moving freight just as long as one works while the other strikes, the strike is bound to failure.
 Such strikes are useless and only waste of time and sacrifice of money. They do no good unless they can be used as clubs to knock some sense into the workers as to

OVERsTOCKGD

 We have just finished stock talk ing, and find that we are heavily overstocked so are making enorm- ous reductions in Hardware-as much as 50%o in certain lines. Not withstanding immense advances out side, especially in Hardware and Metal Goods, we are still selling on the basis of goods purchased the past two or three years.
 We will sell for cash only at these prices, and for a limited time, until we bring our stock down to the re quirements of the Camp.

the folly of craft unionism and in utility of the methods of the suhdl- vision of labor.
 We hear a lot from craft union papers of industrialist disrupterS and the folly of dual unionism. But in anything that industrialists have taught or held, is there anything like the organized strike breaking that finds Judgement under the wings of craft unionism? And those anarchist freaks who call them selves syndicalistS, who would bore from within to official positions, what have they to say before these disgraceful instances of one brother scabbing upon. another?
 It is good to speak plainly. Sucn unionism might as well be wiped of the map for all the good it is. The boisterous claims as to better con ditions which have followed their activities are not worth considering. Increases have not kept pace with higher costs of living and where they have been obtained they were obtained because they took advant- age of increased demand for labor with secure little job trust that obtained some little benefit at the expense of the rest of the workers. There is not a single incident oc- CUTS in the labor movement that does not emphasize the fact that the industrial organization way is the only way.

ZEPPELINS.

There is one thing certain that although good fighters the Germans are mighty poor apologists. Thus among yesterdays dispatches was one to the effect that the Zeppelin raids wherein so many non-combat- ants suffered in Great Britain were being carried out because of the failure to punish the officers and crew of the Baralong who shot the submarine crew of a German U boat.
 Now everyone knows that Zeppe- lin raids were going on long before the Baralong affairs: that Zeppe- lin raids were carried out on Servian and Greek towns; that Zeppelins at tackled French towns and the autho- rites in none of these had anything 10 do with the Baralong affair.
 It is a lame and halt excuse that and even Germans will realize it. Far better would it be to wipe out this nonsense from mems minds that war is anyway kindly or humane, or that it can be kindly or humane, or that the non-combatants who urge it's sue cessful pro ecution, who cheer the trampling feet of the soldiery, who aid directly or indirectly in the sup port of armies are in any sense to be immune from it's horrors.
