IN PRESERVING PEACE.
French Organization Wants Founda-
ton of a Society of Nations
to Check War.

PARIS. November IA lasting in

and not by force. declares a resolution
adopted by the congress of the League

The resolution, framed and approved
after lengthy discussion, says:
This society shall be based upon the
recommendation of the right of ma

conflicts. without exception and re-

germs of war or revenge. 1t shall con-
secrate the right of peoples to dispose
of their own destinies and shall not
provide for the dismemberment OF
states or annexations Of territory
against the will of the population. On
the contrary, 1t shall annul annexa-
tions imposed by force. such as that OF
Alsa Lorraine.
ut shall create an economic regime,
under which certain temporary meas
ures applied as penalties shall guaran-
tee to each people exercise of Its leg1t-
innate activities without permitting the
existence of any aggressive organiza-

Would Provide Punishment.
Justice requires that the future
peace treaty shall provide penalties
against the responsible authors of war
and punishment to those who wage a
war in defiance Of the law Of nations;
that states who are aggressors shall
make reparation proportionate to the
enormous damage done. and finally. a
system of guarantees which. without
infringing the principles enounced
above and notably without having re-
course to forcible annexation. shall
safeguard the world against further
aggression"
Finally. the congress, taking note Of
declarations made by entente states
men, expresses hope that to give the
allied governments will decide to sub
nit all their eventual conflicts to arbi-
tration and form a federation among
themselves as the first outline OF q
future society Of nations. welcoming
the adhesion thereto Of all states. small
and great. who remained outside the
struggle who shall bind themselves to
observe the conditions Of the pact and
guarantee the rights OF each by the
forces Of all.

Cause of Violent Attacks.

When Kitten Rockwell was killed in
September German newspapers printed
violent attacks upon the United States,
declaring that the presence of Ameri-
cans in the French army was proof
that this country's neutrality was van
ishing.
Later, however, the semi official
Overseas News Agency announced that
the imperial government did not con-
slider the volunteering Of Americans as
a breach of neutrality. Precedent for
action was set early in the war, when.
at the request of the Washington gov
eminent, Great Britain had the name

USUALLY THE WORST COLDS GO

TEEN MINUTES.

From the Kansas City Post-Last win
ter Vick's Vap-O-Rub SalVe was in
troduced in Kansas City, kas., for
the first time. In order that their
customers might try out this South
ern method of treating colds exter-
naIiy, the local druggists presented
a few of their customers with COM
pIimentary jars, requesting that this
preparation be given a thorough
trial, and the results reported. BY
kind permission, we give a few OF
these reports below.
In the South Vick's Vap-O-Rub Salve
is universally used in place of internal
medicines for all forms of cold
troubles, from head colds, catarrh and
asthmatic troubles, down to deep
chest colds, sore throat, bronchitis or
incipient pneumonia. You just apply
it over throat and chest and cover
with a warm flannel cloth. Leave the
covering loose around the neck, as
the body heat releases the ingredients
in the form of vapors. These vapors
are breathed in all night long, loosen
ing the phlegm and clearing the air
passages. In addition, Vap-O-RuD is
absorbed through and stimulates the
skin, aiding the vapors inhaled to re-
lieve the congestion.

ONE-CENT POSTAGE
ISPREDICTED SOON
Moon of Postal Committee to
Press the Measure
House Besieged by Petitions and In
dividual Letters Urging ReadjuSt-
ment Of Postal Rates
Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov 27.-The ways
are now being creased for the launching
of the movementfor the readjustment
of postal rates in the next session OF
congress. This problem was to have
been taken up in the last session but
had to be deferred on account of the
consideration required by railway mail
paw Since this has been disposed OF the
committees are prepared to take up the
matter of placing the various postal
rates on more equitable basis.
A zone system of rates for second
class matter is being prominently urged
to take the place of the present flat rate
which was adopted nearly forty years
ago. The present rate has for some time
been regarded as q discrimination
against the newspapers in favor OF the
great national magazines. Like the p ar
eel post the proposed zone would be
based on the length OF the haul.
One-Cent Postage Possible.
The postal committees have been be-
sieged by petitions bearing millions OF
names and several hundred thousand let
tiers from individuals urging readJust-
ment of postal rates with a view of
making one-cent letter postage. A sur
vey of the situation indicates that suffi-
cient changes will be made in the Vari-
Gus rates to permit the granting OF a
onec-ent rate on local delivery letters in
the next session OF congress.
Chairman Moon of the house postal
committee. today said: Il think that the
committee will take up this second-class
mail mater at the next session and press
it to a conclusion at once. While l can
not speak for the committee, this is my
desire i'm the matter ! do not know
what kind of bill we will pass, wheth-
er it will have a zone feature attached Il
it or not This view has been presented
frequently in years past, and sometimes
received favor and sometimes not. As
to what shape the legislation will be in
| am not able to say, but | am sure the
committee will give it the best possible
shape in the public interest"
Action Expected This Session.
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, says
that "history tells us that with every
reduction in the letter rate postage there
has Immediately followed a tremendous
increase in the volume of business and
revenue. During the first month or so
there might possibly be a slight falling
off in the revenues under the proposed
rate but by the end of one year after
its Inauguration 1 feel certain they
would total even more than under the
old rate However, in considering the
proposed reduction we should keep in
mind the enormous benefits that are to
be derived by every patron OF the pos
tai service.
Il introduced a bill proposing one
cent rate on local delivery letters. AS
vet the postal committee has not been
disposed to report it to the senate for
consideration. If the committee does
not feel disposed to report the bill az
an independent measure | hope to have
its provisions included in the next regu-
lar postal appropriation bill"

OUR MERCHANT MARINE
REGATNING ITS PRETIGE
SEAMEN'S LAW MAKES WAGES ON
AMERICAN SHIPS THE STANDARD.
Andrew Furuseth Tells A. F. of L. Con-
vention How Law Operates to Bene-
fit Men Employed on All Seas.

Andrew Furuseth, oi San Francisco,
president OF the International Seamen's
Union. and the father OF the seaman's
act, told the American Federation of
Labor convention in Baltimore of the
operation of the new law.
Thru the operation of the act, he said,
the American merchant marine was re-
gaining its former prestige. More than
700 vessels had entered under the Amer
lean flag, he pointed out, and he de-
clared that the cessation of the war
would show wide and plentiful diff
fusion of American merchantmen over
the seas
THE seaman's act" he said, ''is work
ing to bring up the wage standards for
seamen OF other countries to our stand
ard. For instance, a Norwegian ship
paying its men $50 month, is at one
side OF a dock, an American vessel is
at the other side, paying $45 a month,
The Norwegian sailor quits and ships
out on the American ship. Previously
he would be arrested as a deserter by a
government officer and returned TO his
ship. All such treaties with foreign ma
tions providing for the arrest OF desert
ers were abrogated by the seaman's act.
The seaman is free man now.
"Others follow the first man, until the
Norwegian captain must sign up more
men to take his ship out. To do that
he must pay his new men S45 a month,
the same as the American vessel pays,
and the American vessel is thus placed
on an equal plane with the Norwegian.
The Norwegian captain, in fact, pays
more; for in getting new men he must
pay the shipping or boarding agent SC
much per man. The seaman's act elimi'
mated all blood money and this com.
mission cannot be taken from the sea
man.
Even with the higher price paid fol
an American ship, our ship-owners arc
given a big advantage by the new law
az American built ships have the coast
wise trade exclusively. American ves
sells are also relieved of port duties il
home ports, and they can cram just as
much cargo into the hold as they like
and pile it on decks, while the ship Of
English registry cannot go beyond The
load line"

have also been present when mounted

Trained in Art of Rioting.
he Pennsylvania constabulary is
recruiting agency for the corporations.
Many of the strike breakers who came
here were kept on the Jobs by the steel
trust. and | know for q fact that some
were also sent to plants out of the state,
Tor instance, Struthers, Ohio where a
similar strike was on. They procured
what are known as pulls from the state
constabulary.
Il regard the Pennsylvania state con-
stabulary men as brutes in human form,
who are trained in the arts of rioting
and murder for the express purpose of
compelling the working class to humbly
submit TO the lowest condition of pow
erIy, misery and starvation that can be
imposed upon them by the heartless cor
porations. The working class should
never cease until the act creating the
state constabulary has been abolished,
rs that force is a menace and an eve
sore to every peaceable, aw-abiding in
dividual. The farmers in our community
have not been benefited in the least by
it. as politicians would have people be-
lievc. The claim that they have is but
veil thrown over these corporation
hirelings to blind the people to their
real mission"
Fight Dragon of Lawlessness.
The people of Minnesota face a situa-
tion similar to the one that prevails In
Pennsylvania if they permit the creation
OF a state constabulary in this state 1t
cannot be possible that they are willing
to take the risk of such condition OF
affairs, but the menace is forcblv be
fore them, and they cannot escape the
condition it cmbodies unless they rise
in their might and prevent the enuct-
meut of a state constabulary law. The
working people are more directly and
deeply interested in this issue than any
other class. and they should use every
means at their command to keep away
the dragon of irresponsible lawiessness
and brutality with which they are
threatened.

BONUS PAID cLAssED AS WAGES.

4 referee of the Pennsylvania work

a bonus to keep men on the job must
be included as wages when computing
benefits under the state compensation
law. A workman was killed in an eN-
plosion at the plant of the Aetna Chem
zeal company. The work is dangerous
and portion of the high wages paid to
hold men was referred to by the com
panv as n bonus"
The referee disregarded company
terms and ruled that benefits should be
based on wages received.
