United Mine Workers biennial con-
vention were the hearty approval Civ.
en- President John Whites declaration
that miners should share in the pres
ent prosperity and Secretary VIM.
Green's declaration that working men
will oppose the preparedness agita-

White stated that the country is
entering upon an unprecedented
era of prosperity" and the conven-
ton should urge such improvements
in the wage scale as the conditions
warrant Whites denunciation of war
and his opposition to preparedness on
large scale brought the first real
applause. He is fully convinced that
labor is unalterably opposed to the
whole preparedness scheme. He earn

country an armed camp which may
be used to extend commercialism

be $1S,711.1S. This report includes

nominal.
1t was further stated that all the
printed evidence, without the exhibits,

Progress

A very encouraging evidence of the
growing intelligence and greater solid
arity of the working class in general,
and of organized labor in particular,
is the multitude of resolutions against
preparedness" and war, passed by
labor bodies and conventions through
out the United States.
The resolutions adopted, and sent
to the labor press for publication, are
far from being urged merely on the
ground that war is cruel, wasteful, or
even, to quote general Sherman's ia
nous definition, hell" The really
encouraging feature of the situation
shown by the wording of these anti
military resolutions that they, the
wealth-producers of the country, can
not be made fools of by the exploiting
capitalist class
The resolution adopted at North
Yakima last week by the delegates of
the Washington State Federation of
Labor relative to preparedness" and
war is destined to become a historic
document. 1t evidences, unmistak
ably a clear conception on the part
of organized labor of what prepared.
ness on the part of the capitalist
class really means to the workers. 1t
shows plainly that the American wage
used as a mere cats paw to pull
chestnuts out of the fire for his in
dustrial masters. These resolutions
are a challenge to the ruling-class to
show wherein the worker is under
obligations to give up his life, or lose
his limbs, his means of subsistence,
| leaving him not only manned and
| poverty stricken ruined" as the
] bosses would consider themselves in
similar situation, while those who
really own the country and its re-
sources, it's land and machinery, etc,
utilize the occasion for profit-monger-
ing, and give up nothing but a few
pence in the form of war taxes"
The Yakima resolution demands
that the wealthy, if they will not give
up their precious lives for their coun-
try, and their country's flag as they
insist that the common Wealth-pro-
ducers do, under CONSUMPTION if need
be. that they shall at least give up,
like real patriots" their superfluous
wealth. all bank accounts in excess
of $4,000 being appropriated by the
government for protection Of the
flag" and "the lives of American citi-
zens," etc eve dislike to mention
in this connection so sordid a consid-
GRAFTON as protection of American
profits.O
TO the very patriotic gentlemen
who are not willing to give up life
limb or fortune in defense of THEIR
country, the foregoing proposal OF
the wealth-producers will appear to
be most unreasonable" as, indeed,
in a sense it is; for is not the very
object Of preparedness" and war an
INCREASE OF PROFITS? Why, then,
should the masterclass be called up
on to do something which the work
ing-cIass can be forced to do for
them?
Verify, ITO him that hath shall be
given in abundance, and to him that
hath NOT shall be taken away even
that which he hath
