H. Merrick were the victims of this
perversion of the due process Of ms
tice, whatever may have been its
standing in the due process of Penn
sylvania's trust-made criminal law.
John II. Hall had been one of the or
ganizers of and leaders in the "Amer-
lean Industrial Union" small and
loose federation of some hundreds of
the otherwise unorganized workers
within the Westinghouse plants. His
discharge for that activity had been
one of the immediate causes of the
strike. Anna Bell a young woman
who had worked nine and one quar-
ter hours day at the standard wage
of $1.10 a day, had led most of the
1000 to 5000 women and girl workers
out of the plant on the first day of
the strike. Fred Merrick had been
active for years in Pittsburgh as
Socialist speaker and writer and
newspaper man. At mass meeting
of the workers, the first day of the
strike, Merrick had shown a shot gun
and had spoken of the constitutional
right to bear arms. There was no adj
vice to use arms, and no other ref
erence to their possible use even in
defense at any of the public me tiags
l
at all the meetings that now, with an
absence of strike breakers and with
a greater labor demand than there
was labor supply among the skilled
workers, the workers had only to
stand together until the desire of the
mill owners for their abnormal quick
profits had forced them to grant the
eight hour day.
There can be no question whatever
in the mind of any investigator, that
it was to the interest of the workers
to continue peaceful and that the en-
ployers' interests were served by
bringing on crisis in the cover of
which they could call in their usual
police and military protection and if
possible drive the workers back into
the plants.

ArOuSes Patriotism

(From Chicago Evening PosD
The intention of this picture was
to portray the great need OF the pre-
paredness of peace spelled POW
Err" With that statement ]. Stuart
Blackton, author of the scenario The
Battle Cry of Peace" which opened
the keynote of the whole situation.
The Battle Cry of Peace" surely
fulfills the every intention of the au-
thor, for it portrays poignant truth
in a characteristic way that cannot
fail of appreciation. 1t is not exactly
a pretty thought to think of our great
big, splendid New York, with its
magnificent and imposing structures,
watching like Druids of old the equal
1y as splendid harbor, crumbling like
so much timber before the heavy on
slaught of the enemy; it is not pref
ty thought to think that the failure of
the men and women of our commune
ties to demand of our congressman
a vote for more appropriations for
our army, and more especially, per-
haps, the navy; it is not a pretty
thought to feel that the advocates of
peace are not exercising their very
best judgment in their nationwide
campaign for such; but ]. Stuart
Blackton, somehow, has struck
timely theme for his senorio that
brings home almost too yividly the
total inadequacy of our preparedness,
without which the nation can be as
sured of peace and plenty" and
peace with honor"
It stirs within one that inevitable
spirit of patriotism that is born with
in one, and while many in last nights
audience felt, perhaps, that the hor-
rors of "un9rcpsredness" were a bit
overdrawn, it inslilled into them
little germ of thought that will grad
TALLY assume proportions of magni-
tude. The photoplay of the play
is all that could be desired, and the
general effect is calculated to please
even the most exacting.
Some idea of the magnitude of the

fact that 25.000 National Guard

ployment You hear on all sides from
among the workers of Pittsburg the
expressed determination no longer to
permit their lives and their earning
power to be at the mercy of those
whose caprice or selfishness or inca
pacity had subjected them to such de-
graduation and misery.
The most studied effort has been
made by the employers of Pittsburgh
to give the impression that now ev-
cry worker in the district is getting
big wages. The fact is that the great
mass of unskilled workers are still
receiving an average of from s. 30
to $40 day, many of them less.
The fact is also that the comparative
few who are making the big wages in
the munitions factories of the West
inghouse plants and others are doing
so by the most eXhausting process of
speeding and overtime in long hours.
They were among the first to join
in the strike. The skilled machinists
who had been longer in service were
not generally employed in the shell
plant where the higher wages we're
paid. They were receiving wages of
from $3.50 to $3.50 a day. but they
were subject to the same speeding
process and the same long hours of
overtime Their demand for the eight
hour day was for themselves and for
the less fortunate unskilled workers.
The growing solidarity of the labor
movement was shown in the concert
ed action of all these classes of work
ers-- including as they did the wom-
en- workers. who, wholly unorganized,
were especially exploited in the Pitts
burgh plants.
The Westinghouse working week
for regular time was only 81 hours.
The demand of workers for the 4S
hour week would have meant an in
crease in pay for overtime of only
little less than per cent. Self in
terest would probably have induced
the Westinghouse people to grant the |
eight hour day and the forty eight
hour week.
But the industries of Pittsburgh |
were under the shadow of the Steel |
Corporation with its long work day
and its ferocious prohibition of orga- |
nization among its workers. 1t is es-
Eimated that about 20 per cent of the
workers for the Steel Corporation still |
have the straight II hour day. The |
banks, the politics and the general
Industrial life of Pittsburgh look to
he United States Steel Corporation
or their orders. An Employers AS
ISOLATION, succeeding an earlier Man
lfacturers' Association. was formed
within two days of the strike and
yalkout in the Westinghouse plants.
few of the smaller employing con
erns told representatives of the In

hat they would gladly grant the
light hour day, and some few already |
ad it, but they were afraid of the
over of the steel trust and the al
led big interests. The Employers

ST. ]. WOMAN'S CLUB
Hold October Meeting-Mrs. Laura
G. HeaId of Milford, N. H., De-
Describes World Trip.

The beautiful fall weather and the
splendid program prepared by the
travel and current events committee
drew out an unusually large attend
ance at the October meeting of the
st. Johnsbury Woman's club, held
Monday afternoon at Pythian hall.
The speaker was Mrs. Laura Goodell
Heald of Milford, N H., and her pa

young son, took with a party con-
Quoted by Albert L. Farwell, former
ly of st. Johnsbury. The party start
ed from Egypt where they spent some
delightful days, and from there jour
neyed to Ceylon, India, Sumatra,
Java, China and Japan. She not
only described graphically the inter
esting places visited, but gave some
of the impressions made upon her
and little personal touches which
make any talk so much more enter
tanning. She said that one of the
things which impressed her most was
the vast amount of water in the
world and the Hteralness of the
boast of England that Britannia
rules the waves" The speaker gave
no tiresome details but in the case of
each place visited told few interest
ing things of the sort that would re-
main in a tourists memory. She
brought with her many photographs
and souvenirs which were passed
around the audience or could be seen
after the meeting.
At the business meeting Mrs. Car
oline Taylor read resolutions of the
death of Mrs. Abbie Scott, prepared
by Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Henry Fairbanks
and Mrs. Annie P. Cary. The presi-
dent named Mrs. Nellie F. Bundy,
Mrs. Alice M. Ritchie and Mrs. Mar
tina S. Grint as a committee to pre-
pare a memorial for Miss Marion D.
Patterson. The programs for the
January and March meetings will be

ferS an earlier date. The speaker at
the November meeting will the new
commissioner of education, Milo b.
Hillegas. The executive board asked |
the support of the club in the lee
ture course, which is being arranged |
by the Commercial club.

sisted of two solos by Frank H. |

guest at the club meetings and has
been most generous with his music |

After the program the social com
