MAY-DAY

May-Day is now accepted by the
slaves of capital as an occasion upon
which they can celebrate the growing
solidarity of labor.
1t may seem futile to some to cele-
brate International Labor Day when
shot and shell is screaming over the
fields of two continents and blotting
out the lives of workers, but we must
remember that the workers have been
fooled into this slaughter and that it
is our duty to continue the work of
education that will end war for all
time.
May-Day celebrations are not to the
liking of the powers that be. Their
exclusive class character, the monster
gatherings, the sentiment of the
speeches make combination which is
little to the liking of those whose
only hope of continued mastership lies
in the division and ignorance of their
slaves. When crowd" of men and
women assemble in one place, ami
mated by a class motive, and imbued
with class spirit, some glimmering
of their possible power cannot fail to
penetrate the minds of even the dull
est and least imaginative. This fact
alone justifies the effort to make May
Day working class celebration.
The confidence which comes from
the knowledge of power, added to the
education impaired by the written
and spoken words, will immensely
benefit the working class movement.
The aim of those who gather in these
meetings is not hidden nor even OBJ
scured. Differences as to means may
be heard, but the end is the abolition
of slavery, total and complete. Au-
thority stands helpless, Attempts
have been made to stamp out May-Day
by force as in France, by persuasion
in offering labor-day in September, as
on this continent, but the first of May
is becoming the day upon which labor
is pleased to display its vast numbers,
its class interests and its power of re-
bellion. We are not numerous enough
yet to make May the first working
class holiday by refusing to work on
that day, but by celebrating as near
as possible to that day we are pre-
pairing ourselves for the time when the
first of May will see a stoppage of
industry. In Europe it is an accom-
plished fact, mainly because organized
labor is behind the move, but in this
country organized labor is not yet
with US.
May-Day will, in spite of the war,
be celebrated in every country of Eu-
rope. Internationalism is not dead,
even though some of its parts may
have gone astray. 1t will have a
firmer grip on the toilers after the
war than it ever had before. The
Third international is now being
shaped. Let US hope that it
will be the one by which the workers
of the world will gain control of the
governments and industries of the
world.
So let May-Day continue; further it
by every means possible; we need it
in our business. In the great struggle
which is yet to be waged for the cap
ture of the powers Of the state, May
Day will have it's uses and May-Day
will assist in concentrating that end.
Join US in celebrating it this year.
Help swell the ranks of the Interna-
tional Revolutionary proletariat.

GRAVE CONCERN rs
SHOWN AT CAPITAL

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE sinking

er Columbian. with Americans in the
crew, If officially confirmed, may
greatly aggravate the submarine con-
troversy with Germany, officials said
tonight. No information regarding the
Columbian has yet been received at
the state department.
The department already has under
investigation the sinking of the British
horse ship Marina, and the British
steamer Rowanmore. both with Ameri-
cans on board: the British steamer
Arabia and the supposedly American
steamer Lanao. Department officials
admitted that should the additional in
formation on these cases necessitate
presenting them to the German gov
ernment for an explanation, the set
tlement of the Lusitania case would
again be postponed and the whole
question of submarine warfare might
have to be reopened.

Hughes visited California, not only is
sued public ultimatum that Mr..
Hughes would "have nothing to do with
Progressives in California" but Gre

the candidate. He asserted "Californ-

them to the disgraceful conditions from
which, after tremendous struggle and
sacrifice, they had finally emerged, sur
rounding with an impossible barrier
the presidential candidate and openly
proclaiming that none should be per-
mitted near who believed in the newly
won political freedom. 1t was the

EXPLAINS
SLUMP IN PARTY VOTE

Chicago, Nov. 11.-A last minute fear
among many Socialists that unless they
voted for President Wilson, Charles e.
Hughes would win and throw the ma
ton into war, is the explanation given
for the slump in the Socialist vote by
Adolph Germer. national secretary of
the Socialist party here today. The
popular vote cast for Benson is esti-
mated at 100000, the same as in 1912,
by Germer. A heavier poll was ex-
pected, he admitted.
The election of one congressman
Meyer London-of New York, and
Thomas Van Lear as mayor of Mime
apolis, are the outstanding victories of
the Socialists. Morris Hillquit of New
York may contest for the place in con-
gress from the Twentieth district. Vic
tor Berger lost in his congressional
race in Milwaukee by 1000 votes. In
