WHAT WENDELL PHILLIPS
SAID IN 1870

We affirm as funda
mental principle that labor, the Gre
ator of wealth, is entitled to all it
creates.
Affirming this, we avow ourselves
willing to accept the final results of
the operation of a principle so radi-
cal; such as the overthrow of the
whole profit making system, the ex-
tinction of all monopolies, the aboli-
ton of privileged classes, universal
education and fraternity, perfect free
dom of exchange, and, best and grand
est of all, t he final obliteratiOn of
that foul stigma upon our so-called
civilization, the poverty of the masses.
1--WE declare war with the wage
system, which demoralizes alike the
hirer and the hired, cheats both, and
enslaves the workingman; war with
the present system of finance, which
robs labor, gorges capital, makes the
rich richer and the poor poorer and
turns a republic into an aristocracy
of capital.
"* If any man asks me what
value ! place upon this movement, |
say it is the movement of humanity
to protect itself; it is the grandest
and most comprehensive movement of
the age.
ct is a shame to our civilization
for our social system to provide and
expect that any man at seventy years
of age shall be lord of many thou
sands of dollars, while hundreds OF
other men, who have made as good
use of their talents and opportunities,
lean upon charity for their daily
bread.
"The best minds and hearts of the
land should give themselves to the
work of changing this gross injustice;
this appalling iniquity.
81 feel sure that the readiest way
TO turn public thought and effort into
his channel is for the workingman to
organize a political party"

belief that the end of the war will
see a tremendous influx of aliens.
Experts point out also that peace
will release scores of great ocean
liners which are now busy carrying
soldiers and munitions of war. To
the steamship companies the trans
portation of immigrants has been for
years one of the most profitable fea-
lures of their business. Their glow
ing circulars and glib tongued agents
have been responsible for much of
the more or less undesirable immigra-
ton in the past Free from war duty,
they will certainly start at once to
build up again thei immigration
business. No matter what the ma
lions of Europe may do to keep their
people at home, the steamship mana
gers will do their utmost to fill the
steerage of their ships with living
freight
Whatever the future may hold
and no man can be certaln-lS not
this the time while things are at a
standstill for the people of the United
States to take stock of the immigra-
ton situation?
rs the United States to remain an
open refuge for the poor and Cypress
ed of every nation-with the eXcep-
ton of the Chinese? Or does the
welfare of the people Of the United
demand that further restrictions be
placed on immigration?

TRIBUTE TO kerr HARDIE

(From B. c. FederationisD
A tribute to Mr.. Keir Hardie is
paid in the closing words of report
presented at the recent large and
momentous Labor conference in Great
Britain. His death, it says, marks the
closing of one of the most important
chapters in Labor's political history
His was the voice that on the floor
of the Trade Union Congress at Swan
sea, in 1887, first demanded independ-
ent labor representation in the house
of commons. His whole career was
dedicated to building up Labor move
ment on the lines he then laid down
and the propagation of the socialist
principles which inspired the whole
of his political life. His interest in
the promotion of international prin-
ciples," the report says later, "was
recognized throughout the Labor
movements of the world, and his
death, like that of Bebel and Jaures
before him, has been mourned by So
cialists and trade unionists every
where.
"The outbreak of war, coming so
suddenly upon his participation in the
peace demonstration at Brussels at
the end of July, 1914, depressed his
spirit beyond all description. With
an effort he gathered strength enough
to preside over the conference OF
delegates from the Socialist parties Of
the allied nations which was held in
London on February IA, 1915, but that
was the last international gathering
in which he took part, 1t is worthy
of note that his last sustained plea
in the house of commons was on be-
half of the children who were being
released from school at too early an
age to engage in manual work in the
fields and factories of the country"

MUST CHECK IMMIGRATION

Milwaukee, Wis.-"The situation
which formerly brought aliens to this
country in quest of political and rel
igious liberty has mostly disappeared
and the flow of immigrants has be-
come largely purely economN
phenomenon" declared Prof. E. A.
Ross, University of Wisconsin, in a
speech in this city. He said that those
who came to America without their
families and return after they have
enjoyed for a time the high wages
Of the American labor market, are con
tinually increasing.
The great influx of immigrants
from southern Europe, with tn IT
standards of lower living than those
who formerly constituted the bulk
of immigrants to this country, have
caused acute industrial, social and
political problems, particularly in
American cities" continued Prof e. A.
Ross. THE influence of immigrants
as a whole, in recent years, has
been to delay the advance toward the
best things of public life and in poll
tics has given the bosses a chance to
intrench. Whatever it may have been
in the past, immigration has grown to
be a problem affecting the very soul
and perpetuity of the American peo-
pie. No other problem before us COM
pares with this problem.
"Since the beginning of the century
immigrants have been coming at the
average rate of 100000 a year, and
at least 100000 of them have re-
manned. The sources of immigration
have greatly changed in the course of
Is years. Formerly the bulk of the
immigration that came from the Brit
ish. Scandinavian and Germanic
countries possessed much of the back
ground we possess and blended readi-

The American Federation of Labor
has just taken the most important
step of it's existence. 1t has given its
Official endorsement to a fundamental
remedy for labor troubles. The Elk
cutive Council has come out in favor
of the Peoples Land and Loan meas
ure to be submitted in Oregon to a
popular vote
This measure was drawn by the
Central Labor Council of Portland,
endorsed by the Oregon State Fedora
ton of Labor, and resolution giving
it national approval was introduced in
the convention at San Francisco in
December of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The convention,
pressed for time, referred the resolu-
ton to the Executive Council of the
Federation at Washington with power
to act. The Council met on February
81 and remained in session until the
Goth. Among other business trans
acted was the endorsement of this
measure.
If adopted, the measure will abolish
all taxes on labor and its products.
and put into the public treasury of
Oregon at least 80 per cent of the an
nual rental value of all land within
the state. Another provision creates
a loan fund to help home-seekers and
others to engage in productive work
There have hitherto been some who
criticized organized labor, for devot-
ing so much effort to strikes and palli-
atves, and so little to fundamentals.
The American Federation has now
taken a position that must do much
to silence such criticism. The stand
it has taken is one in the interest not
only of it's own members, but of hui
manity.

Writing in the Chicago
Tribune, Henry NJ. Hyde gives the
following estimate of conditions IN
America after the European war if
legislation restricting immigration is
not passed by the present congress;
Peace, prosperity, and high wages
while the dam of war holds back the
rising flood, then, when the war is
over, a ruinous rush of illiterate, pau
perized, and degraded peoples, com
ing from southern and eastern Eu'
rope and western Asia to clog the
slums of Chicago and other cities.
THAT is what many students of
immigration predict will be the eff
feet of the great war on the United
States.
"They foresee the coming of mil
lions of illiterate, unskilled, penniless
laborers, who will undercut wages,
lower the standard of living while in
creasing its cost, increase child la
Dor, lengthen the hours Of work, make
peonage more possible and postpone
for years the success of the woman's
movement in the United States.
"They shudder at what will happen
when the twentieth century is in
vaded by vast army of people who
have never risen above the standards
of the sixteenth century.
"They declare that now, while the
war is acting as a temporary barrier
to immigration, the people OF the
United States should take some steps

which will prevent the inundation Of
democratic institutions by an abject
and illiterate flood of feudal peasants
and oriental serfs.
with the coming of peace they be-
lieve that not only will immigration
from southern and eastern Europe be
renewed on a much greater scale, but
that new and swelling streams will

grants from Asiatic Turkey. Circassia,

Wisconsin, just before the war be-
gan. An immigration has started
up from Persia and conditions are
ripe for a heavy influx from western
Asia
There are in southern and east
ern Europe and western Asia says
DR.. Warne in the last Annals of the

ence, great reservoirs of races and
peoples only recently tapped by the
ocean steamship lines. No one can
conceive for these racial groups any

not better, and such as to increase

TO THE POINT

An anemic elderly woman, who
looked as if she might have as much
maternal affection as an incubator,
sized up a broad shouldered cockney
who was idly looking into window
on the Strand, and in a rasping voice
said to him:
MY good man, why aren't you in
the trenches? Aren't you willing to
do anything for your country"
Turning around slowly he looked
at her a second and replied con-
temptuously: Move on, you Stacker.
Where's your war baby?"
