HUGE NAVAL PROGRAM WOULD FORCE us INTO CT WITH MIAN

The United States is now facing the
most stupendous naval appropriation
bill ever proposed in the history of
the world.
If it is carried out, it will seriously
menace our relations with every other
great world power, especially Great
Britain who will have to redouble her
efforts to maintain her traditional
two-power standard. The chant of
the Democratic national convention
at st. Louis: HE kept us out of war;
he kept us out of war;" may be radio
ally received by history, G. Loves
Dickinson, the English publicist and
a man who weigh his words, has de-
clared in public his belief that huge
naval program would compel England
to go to war with us in five years. It
is only one mans opinion, perhaps,
but we give it for what 1t is worth.
The situation has many ramifica-
tions. but reduced to its very simplest
elements, it may be described as fol-
lows:
The house of representatives has
passed one naval appropriation bill
and the senate has passed another,
and much larger, one. A joint con-
ference committee is being appointed
today to reconcile the glaring differ
ences between the two bills. The
senate has selected three 'big navy
men for it's Representatives, Senator
TillmAn Of South Carolina. Senator
.Swanaon Sof Virginia and Senator

BARRIERS STOP SUNDAY
WORK IN PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA Aug. S.-There is
a law against barber shops operat-
ing on Sunday, but the law was OPEN
ly violated "for the convenience of
the public" despite protests by the
BARRIERS. AS the latter were unorean-
fzed' their individual claims were not.
considered. -
The BARRIERS union finally took
charge Of affairs and inaugurated an
organizing campaign. Several hum
dred shops were then struck. Muni-
cipal officials, sworn to uphold the
law. aided the employers and many
unionists were arrested in their effort
to abolish the seven-day work week.
The Master Barbers' association
now acknowledges it has been de-
feated and has written Mayor Smith
ito personally see' that violators of
the Sunday closing law are prose-
cuted.
AS 1t Is risky to call the attention
of workers to their power through
organization, the success of the Bar
bers' union has been given little pub
licity by many law-abiding citizens in
this vicinity.

$110,000,000 is for new construction.
And as if this were not enough to

senate bill authorizes appropriations
Tor the next three years amounting to
$5SS, 900.
Great Britain's expenditures for her
navy, under her two-power standard
are In the neighb0rhood of $256, ,O0O,-

goes through, Great Britain will have
to double her naval budget to keep
ahead of us. It Isl this which prompts
many to predict that she will be

Few years in order to prevent the
load from getting too heavy.
Its Imperialistic Character.
In it's emphasis upon dreadnaughts
and battleships. and its indifference to
submarines, the senate bill is thor
oughly imperialistic. The Deutsch-
land may be a nine-days' wonder and
the fighting submarine may, as it did
in the North Sea, drive the battles
ships in flight before 1t, but the sub
marine doesn't greatly interest the
senate. It is not aggressive enough.

ANTI -UNIoNIsTs ::
'D0WAR. DANCE

DETROIT, Mich.t Aug. s.-Every
anti-unionist in the state is doing q
war dance because Organized labor
proposes to amend tho state .constitu.
tton limiting the. issuance Of injunc-
tions inrlabor disputes.
Labor asks that hesprinciples EN-.
bodied in the Clayton law be placed
in the state constitution In reply to
this claim the. antis present 'argu-
ment" similar to the following from
city: - X
Take, the protection Of the law
away from the employers property!
Make it possible to destroy the en-
ployer's factory and his goods if he
does not accede to any demand made
upon him! Tie and gag the circuit
court Judge to prevent him from COM
ing to the assistance of workers upon
whom felonious assault is being made!
Mob the employer and intervene!
These are the preachments and the
demands OF organized labor in Mich.

This is the feature which most &C.
riously impeaches Mr.. Wilson's pro-
fessed pacifism. "Good heavens!"
the pacifist may we'll exclaim, 'it is
all very we'll to dissemble your love,
but why do you kick me down
stairs?" ).
This three year program means
that this congress is to dictate the
number of new ships to be laid down
within the next three years. Instead
of legislating for 1917, it legislates for
1917, 1918 and 1919. The next con.
gress will find it's hands tied. The
war in Europe may be over and pub
lie opinion may demand that all new
construction shall cease, but congress
will find itself morally and legally
bound to see through, with tho neces-
sary appropriations, the gigantic con-
tracts for which this administration
will have secured authority,
It may be urged that one congress
can not bind another. This is true,
in theory, but in practice each con-
gress is compelled to carry through
the new construction authorized by
Its predecessor. Mt to do 30 would
mean that millions Of dollars worth
sof new construction would 90 on tho

The house members will include three
big navy members, Padgett Of Ten
nessee, Talbot of Maryland, and But
Ter of Pennsylvania, the ranking Re-
publican mem ber who talks a. great
deal of "pacifism" for the benefit of
the Quakers and farmers in his dis
trict but always votes 'big navy"
When this committee has agreed on
bill, it will have to pass both
houses and be signed by the presi-
dent. Conference bills are frequently
r~'~c+~d d by one house or the other;
then another conference committee is
appointd, and so on until agreement
is reached.
The administration is putting tre-
mendous pressure on the lower house
to adopt the big senate program in
order that the Republicans may not
be able to charge the administration
with indifference to preparedness"
Nevertheless there is a strong pacifist
sentiment in the lower house and If
public opinion maks itself manifest,
the horse will insist on knocking off
some OF the more Objectionable feat
ures of the senate bill before agreeing

tempt a full five year program (that
is what this one was originally until
the house rebelled) and some day
they may emulate the German en-

Local Unions Would Show Re-

That Duluth union labor will have
the greatest labor day demonstration
in its history this. year ia the plan
Of the Duluth assembly. The matter
was discussed at the last meeting OF
the labor assembly: and tentative
plans made to arrange a program.
For the, last few:years union labor
in Duluth has elimination tho Labor
day parade, feeling that the money
necessary to stage such an event,
might better be used: for; some other
purpose. However, since the Labor
Forward Movement here last win

mented and fully. 1000 new members
enlisted. With the" various new un-
ions and the! increased numbers in
other unions. it u.s. expected that the
demonstration will be the greatest
ever staged in Duluth by union labor
Further plans will be discussed at

0RCAN|zAT|0NF FOR
WOMEN IS URGED
Changes In Factory System In
America Makes Unions Neces-
sary, Says Weber.

! 81 LAC, Wis, Aug. 3.-Or-
gan& ep ong women workers was
urged by NIX ]. Weber of Milwau-
kee, general organizer of the Wiscon-
sin state federation of labor, in his
report to the annual convention.
The modern factory SYSTEM he
said, "has brought great change
and the old law that the female must
honor and obey, because she was con-
sidered dependent, is no longer ap-
plicable to our present industrial sys-
tenn because the female has been COM
PEELED to become a part of our mod
ern factory system as wage Garner.
Since she has entered the field of
industry it is of the greatest impor-
tance to have her become a consti-
tuted part of the organized ablor
movement to better her condition as
SUCH"
The unionist recorded sharp criti-
cism of the practice of importing
armed men and giving them the au-
thority of peace officers in districts
Where strikes are in progress.
So-called scientific management, he
declared, would produce an army Of
mlddle-aged workers, crippled in
mind and body, unable to keep the
pace demanded by this system and
who would prove burden to society.
The convention voted a u -cent-a-
day tax on all members in the state
for the benefit Of Milwaukee machin-
lists now on strike for an eight-hour
day. Convict labor on roads was ia
vored, as was shorter night hours for
postal employees. Ashland was Sc
lected as the next convention city.

RUBBER WORKERS COMPROMISE

CHELSEA, Mass, Aug. 3.-Striking
rubber workers have voted to accept
a compromise offer by the Revere
Rubber company. All strikers are re-
employed and general advance of
81 a week is secured. The former
59-hour week for men is reduced to
54 hours, and 81 hours for women is
reduced to SO hours. Time and one
half for overtime will be paid, in
stead of straight time, as formerly.
These workers are affiliated to the
A. F. of L. The settlement affects
about 700 persons. They have been
on strike since the first of last month.

pattern makers have been enjoined
from publishing advertisements in

the unionists to cease Iepriving "the
Walbridge-A company Of the
free use and enjoyment Of its prop
erty." 80. ':
This statement by the honorable
court should remove any doubts from
those tho" people who insist that in}une- ups:

an Injunction Judge does not take this
position he cannot justify the fnjunc-
ton process In strike times.

RAILROADS FIGHT
TO DELAY DECISION
Vast Sums Are Being Spent to
Keep Back Eight Hour
Ruling.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. s.-Any.
thing for delay is the plan of the rail
roads in dealing with the demand OF
the employees for an eight-hour day
is charged in a statement issued by
the Transportation Brotherhoods.
Railroads are spending hundreds OF
thousands. of dollars to ask the public
for their support on a proposition tc
refer the controversy to the Inter.
state Commerce Commission.
The public should know that the
Interstate commerce commission
only very recently and; on two differ.
ent occasions, have reported at some
length and in considerable detail upor
this very question. It's reports com.
prehend two widespread investiga.
tons since 1910, and are the result o1
attempts on the part Of the railroads
to make use of increases in wages tc
induce the commission to give it's con.
sent to increases in freight rates.
The whole subject Of wages was
gone into by the commission with
much care and in great detail.
The railways were fully represented
by counsel and large numbers Of wit.
nesses testified IN their behalf. -.
Eminent counsel appeared in be.
half of the opposition to the roads.
The attorney Of the commission
also participated in the proceedings
and prepared and presented for" con.
sideration, a great mass of statistical
information.
After full hearing of. the investi.
cation upon all the facts and cir.
cumstances, the commission held that
there was no evidence before 1t which
established the necessity for high
rates.
And, again in 1914 the same elabor-
ate and thorough investigation into
the subject of wages as having a
bearing on the necessity for increased
rates, was held.
This federal tribunal said, 1T is in
teresting to note, that notwithstand-
ing wages constitute a large part OF
the transportation expense, this item
Of expense has shown a relatively
small advance as compared with other
groups"
!; The commission called attention to
the fact that efficiency Of operation
and management are the most I'M
portant things In the reduction OF
operating expenses, and, as an illus
tration, the commission cited the
statement of the general superintend-
ent of motive power Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad who 1essened the cost
of building locomotives between 1908
and 1913, although the rate of wages
increased nearly 40 per cent.
The official utterances of the in
terstate commerce commission answer
authoritatively, questions raised by
the railroads in their opposition to
the present movement Of the railway
brotherhoods for an eight hour work
day for employees in freight train
service.

that the excessive voltage of high
