The Peoples Dimes To Challenge

tspecial to The Majorltyl

Especial to The Majority0
CHICAGO; Mich. As = One hundred
and twenty thousand letters left Chi
cago today to go forth into that many
working class homes urging the work
ers to stake their dimes against Wall
Streets Millions in great challeng-
ing fight on milifarism and prepared
ness. The dimes sent in by the work
ers will be used in the coming cam
paign to cover the entire country with
literature and speakers. No town, no
matter what it's size, will be left un-
touched by this campaign.
Is The plan, in brief. is this: Every
person receiving letter is asked to
send in a dime There are alse five
letters, envelopes and coin cards in
closed which are to be sent on to FIVE

3sbine an e4klBss chain. Wy ~
This is asefitical year in America
and yet it presents one rare oQpor-
tunity to reach the masses on an is
sue that the economic rulers of this
country are trying to force down the
peoples throats. Preparedness, a
cloak beneath which miltafism is hid
den, is their issue. Maddened by the
taste of fabulous profits made out
of war orders, they want to provide
a home market for the instruments
of hell, when the orders cease to come
from Europe If we fall for ""prepar
edness" then this country is doomed
to repeat the bloody tragedy that Eu-
rope is Staging now. The future wei
fare of the people of this country IS
1in the greatest danger once Wall
street succeeds in putting a prepared
ness program over ON the people OF
this country. This is the Issue, and
our fight is on that. Our battle cry
must be mot a man and not a cent
for war" But the people whose minds
are daily being poisoned by. the pros
tituted press must be reached, and
we must reach them and open their
eyes so that they may see the truth
Resolve now to throw your dime.
YOUR time and your energy into this
supreme battle Of the hour If you
are not among the 10000 whom she
first letter reaches, then Just place
dime In an envelope with yOuIO maine
and address and state that you want

BY return mail set OF five letters
envelopes and coin cards viii be sent

Paul o. Reymanng and the Paul o.

clared unfair by the Ohio Valley

The action is the elimination of
two months efforts, following the end
ing of the Butchers strike, to induce
aim to permit the engineers and fire.
men to return to Work and to cease
discriminating against the union
butchers. &
At every meeting of the Assembly
/ e question has been up, and hours
Of discussion followed, but the dele
gates, 10th to take any drastic action
long as there was faint chance OF
inducing Reymann to act reasonably,
deferred this step, and kept the mat
er in the hands Of the Arbitration
Committee. The report Sunday show
ed that the. Arbitration Committee has
exhausted all efforts at inducing Rey-
mann to reinstate the men and re-
establish the conditions preceding the
strike, and the Executive Board, after
meeting and. canvassing the situation
made the report advising the above
action, which was taken.
Reymann's unfairness includes his

(From the Committee on Industrial
Relations.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16E
(Special) Endorsing the principle OF
the Crosser Bill, now pending in Con.
gress. for fostering, promoting ana
developing the welfare OF the wage
earners of the United States, by Great
ing new opportunities for permanent
and profitable employment" Frank T.
Walsh. chairman of the Committee on
Industrial Relations has issued the Tor
lowing statement:
1.-The bill invokes and applies to the
lands of the public domain the apso-
lutely right doctrine that the title TO
land shall depend on its productive
use.
THE Crosser bill is not only right
in itself. 1t points the way that legs
lation should go to prevent specuia.
zion and private monopoly in natural
resources. 1t recognizes as far as II
goes the inalienable right of the com.
munity to take for the welfare OF all
the values that the community Gre
ates; and it recognizes the equally

to get and keep that wealth winch MS
own labor has produced.
