On Each of Two Charges
of Forgery.

LONDON. July 5.-A sentence of
three years penal servitude was i'm
posed upon Ignatius Tribich Lin
coin. the self styled German spy
who recently confessed to forgery
at his preliminary hearing on that
charge
4 verdict OF guilty was found
against Lincoln Immediately after
the jury received the case The
summing up of the court took less
than half an hour.
Lincoln was sentenced 10 three
years on each of the two charges
of forgery and the terms to run con-
currently.
In summing up the judge said he
was dealing with the prisoner
simply as a man convicted Of forg-
cry. whose conduct was the more
dangerous because he was well ed
ucated. No one in court would
have heard anything in regard TO
other aspects Of his case. the court
said, if the prisoner had not alluded
TO them.
On being arraigned in police
court Lincoln. who previously had
asserted the British authorities de-
sired TO punish him for espionage,
contended that the forgery charge
could not be proceeded with owing
10 the terms of the treaty be
tween the United States and Great
Britain.

DEPORTED.

Some twenty members of the In dustrial Workers of the World were deported from Everett because they agitated strike among the shingle weavers. All of which shows us what a joke laws and legal rights become in the hands of those who are in economic control. The men, because they endeayored to better their condition, are put out of the community because their acts threatened the profits of those who controlled the community.
 We often hear about the lawless acts of the I. w. w. men. But ther~ is never any denunciatlon O. ,aese lawless acts upon the part of orga- nized capital. There is certainly lots of freedom for the capitalist.

Mayor Blake was elected on a platform of his own selection pro- viding for municipal ownership Of pumping plant and coal yard One month at the most would have been sufficient for the Mayor and the Council to completely review the costs, the requirements and the pro- priety of such a municipal plant. It is now the latter end of August and as far as any actual work is con- cerned in the way of establishing anything, they are just as near as they were in the month of April. Efficiency?

A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT.

Probably it would be unfair to judge Judge Hughes mental caliber by the inanity of his remarks upon the labor question. His idea is that labor and capital should come to- gether and work together. That idea has been expressed by thou sands of others. but thousands also have very carefully avoided offering any plan whereby that could be brought about.
 It is only another form of non sense to indulge in such expressions as this, unless we know how that condition we say is desirable is to be brought about.
 But the trouble is that Hughes is in just exactly the same position as thousands of others who before him expressed the same thing in al most as many words, in that he does
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-08-24

not know how any such condition can be brought about. He believes it is possible to get capital and la bor closer together He has never seen it done. Unless he is blind as a bat and ignores the increasing number and violence of the struggle between capital and labor, he should know that instead of coming together they are drifting more re- lentlessly and gonistically. apart Instead of the differences being settled amicably they are settled by ultimatums and by open struggles.
 And there is not one of these po- liticians but know, if they are cap able of putting two and two to- gether, that at no time at any place was it possible to bring labor and capital together with any sort ot enduring settlement of their strife. They were fighting one hundred years ago. They are struggling against one another today, and that struggle is not going to be settled by politicians giving vent to mean ingless platitudes on campaign tOurc

POOR CONSOLATION.

The German Admiralty announces that the Central Powers sank seven- ty-two ships of the Entente Allies in the two years of war while the Ger man losses during that time were but twenty-five and the total tonn- age seventy thousand.
 Certainly that is wonderful achievement. But at best Germany has been condemned to guerilla warfare at sea, has no ships on the ocean, and the Allies are stil! in command of the waves. The mere fact that the Germans have sunk so many with so little result in their favor is a poor consolation. It only means so many more men are dead on one side than the other, and there's little triumph in that if their own men, however, fewer, have died in vain.
