POOR OUTLOOK IN REGARD
TO SUPPLY OF RAW COTTON
Serious I.osKex Face Lancashire Trade
Unless New Supplies In Other Parts
OF World Are Built Up.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND. July 30
The outlook in regard TO future supply
of raw cotton for the great Lam
cashire mills is serious. according TO
Chairman Hutton. OF the Council or
British Cotton Growing Associations.
MIR. Hutton says:
The demands of the world for cot
ton are going to increase. and particu-
larly in America. which country. thanks
to the war, Is now getting a very
strong hold on the export trade. This
means that every year when supplies
are short there is going to be n scram-
BILE for cotton and we can be sure that
America will not go short, and that
Great Britain as the next largest con-
sumner. will be the greatest sufferer.
The situation is one to cause the grav-
est anxiety. ! do not think one can
eXagSerate its seriousness. Unless we
can build up new supplies In other
parts Of the world ! can see most SER
ious losses facing the Lancashire cot
ton trade, and it may be that Lam
cashire will permanently lose very
large proportion OF our export trade.
II that should happen many of our
mills Will have to close and n large
proportion OF the population must mi
crate.
".rhe Lancashire cotton industry is
mainly dependent on the export trade,
probably to the extent Of four-fi this
Of the machinery employed. 1t has to
meet the competition OF the whole
world and in the past this has beer,
done by producing articles finer and
superior in quality than our compc-
titors can produce. For this we must
have ample supplies OF the longer,
finer and better qualities OF cotton.
Lancashire is dependent on Ameri-
en- for 1871 per cent OF the cotton re-
Gnired for the spindles which have In
creased to 60.000.000 and looms to $780,
600 and rs America consumes more
every year 1t means short time and
other difficulties for Lancashire mills
besides shrinkage in exports OF cot
ton goods"
Great Britain. according to Mr.. Hut
ton. Is not obtaining tho same pro-
portion OF the American crop as form
erly In tho period 189o-iS05 Great
Britain took 36.5 per cent OF the
American crop. but for tho period 1910

The short period while the trees are

the blight spreads. sometimes slightly
and sometimes rapidly, into the fruit
spurs and young twigs, oftcntimes not

At that time il has reached its maxi
mum usually. and oftentimes has
checked UP for the season. The blight
runs in twiGs and branches, at first
considerably ahead OF the dying leaves.
The leaves may remain green for sew
eral days, and even weeks. after the
bark on a branch is killed.
This uiG'h; is controllable by tho

with Bordeaux sometimes helps. Dur

the trees should be gone over and the

The trees should be examined on the

the cutting the cut surfaces and imple-

Senator Chamberlain said sentiment
in favor of universal training was

we don't have some legislation of this

The experience the country has had

GERMANY DEP0RTS
100000 BELGIANS
Vandervelde Sends Protests to Inter
national Socialist Bureau
Members

Emile Vandervelde, min
lister Of munitions in the Belgian cabi-
net and president of the international
Socialist bureau, has written to the
members of the committee concerning
the deportations of Belgian working
men to Germany, as follows:
1--WE might have believed that after
submitting to invasion with it's vio-
lences and occupation with its mis-
cries our people had suffered all that
people could suffer- but worse was
still to come. Despairing of being able
to keep that which il had taken in dis
regard of its faith and it's word, the
German government appears deter
mined to treat the Belgians as the
conquered were treated in the age of
Assyria and Babylon.
eve received every day at Havre
messages which make our hearts
bleed. The deportations in Flanders,
at Chareroi, at Mons and in the larg-
est part of the country are more nu-
merous and agonizing. The men are
of every age and condition but partic-
ularly youths and workingmen.
"They are gathered up, herded and
numbered like cattle and taken as
captives into other provinces, into
northern France and into Germany,
without their kindred knowing where
they are taken. They are forced to
make Notifications, to construct stra-
tegic railways, to make cement and
other materials used in building
trenches or to replace in other work
laborers who are being sent to the
front or into munition works."
Minister Vandervelde said that the
Belgian minister at The Hague tele-
graphed November II that more than
100000 Belgians had already been de-
ported and that the German authori-
ties had posted orders in Brussels an
nouncing that the deportation of men
from the capital would commence on
November Is. In his letter the Belgian
Socialist leader cites an article of The
Hague convention of 1907 prohibiting
belligerents from forcing enemy ma
tionals to participate in operations of
war against their country.

there be strife beteween the haves
and the have nots, Europe today is
rapidly doing away with private own
ership and government ownership is
taking its place. Government owner
ship can not however, solve the prob
lem unless the workers themselves
become the government. Government
ownership is the next step in the evo-
luton of Society. First we had chattel
slavery, then serfdom, now capitalism
and state capitalism about to emerge
and the next step in the evolution
must of necessity be Socialism, or in
other words, the Collective ownership
and democratic management of the
machinery of wealth production.

VAN LEAR ADVOCATES
PRACTICAL POLITICS
Socialist MayOr-Elect of Minneapolis
in Talk Gives Advice to
Party Members

Thomas Van Lear, Socialist mayor
elect of Minneapolis, delivered a mes
sage Of advice to the party in speech
at the Rand School of Social Science.
The affair was reception in honor of
Van Lear.
He was introduced by Algernon
Lee, Socialist candidate for governor
IN the recent election.
"What the Socialist Party needs
now" said Van Lear, "is school in
practical politics. A great many per-
sons object to the phrase practical
politics. However, if we don't find
some way to meet the old-time politi-
clans on their own battle ground and
overcome them, the Socialist Party
will never amount to very much.
Because Of this lack of knowledge
Of practical politics the party lost the
last two mayoralty elections preceding
my election. One was stolen. The
other was taken from US by piece of
political trickery.
eve knew SO little than that we
thought all we had to do was to con
vince the people that they ought to
vote for us, and then we could go
home and go to bed"
Van Lear bestowed high compli-
ments upon the Rand School, mention
ing that he had seen many brilliant
products of the school throughout the
country.

CLAIMS
FOR $l5O.0OO
Widows of Deputies Sue the City of
Seattle for Death of Husbands
in Everett.

Damage claims amounting to $3.50,
000 have been filed in Seattle against
that city by deputies and widows of
deputies as result of the battle here,
November 5, on the City Dock be-
tween |. w. WIS and deputies.
Mrs. Charles 0. Curtiss asks $780,
600 for the death of her husband who
was McRae's second in command at
the time of the battle. He was shot
/ through the neck and instantly killed.
Mrs. jefferson Beard demands $780,
600 for the death of her deputy hus-
band. He received bullet through
the lung and died several days after
the battle.
H. B. Blackburn, another deputy. is
sueing the city for $4,000 for having
to spend a few weeks in the hospital.
Elmer Buehrer, who was a special
deputy, got a piece of lead in his chest
and is sueing for $4,000.
Seattle is held responsible because
it allowed the boat load of |. w. W. s
/ to leave Seattle, with the object GU
of creating trouble.
Seattle's mayor and several of her
officials and thousands of citizens
have expressed themselves very forci-
bly, about the actions of the author
tiles of the city of Everett and this
move is for the purpose of having
Seattle hold its tongue.
The truth hurts and the Everett
authorities thought they were going
to get away with the lies they peddled
about the battle and the causes lead
ing thereto. But the truth got out, in
fact it had been out for some time,
and it was an easy matter to tell who
was to blame for the bloody battle.
Passenger Sues For $4,000
Carlson, one of the passengers on
the Verona started the ball rolling by
sueing several deputies, the City Dock
Co. and the owners of the Verona for
total of $4,000. Carlson was shot
nine times and still lives and he says
he was not an l. W. w. but passeng-
er on the Verona.
The deputies and their friends had
to retaliate somehow so they decided
to sue the city of Seattle as that was
the only place they could get money
from But we cannot see how they
have any thing coming. They were
there for trouble, they started the
trouble and it so happened that some
of them got little more than they
expected. They should now be behind
the bars, but justice is blind

figures in the annual report of w. H.

enue, issued recently.
The rate among multimillionaires
is even greater, amounting to nearly
so per cent.
The report shows that for the cal
endar year 1915, 1923 persons paid
taxes on net incomes of more than

New Jersey; six in Ohio and four
each in Illinois, Connecticut and Della

locations of the most extensive pro-
duction of war munitions.
In 1915 were reported 122 incomes
between 100000 and 100000, in
1914 only SO. A similar increase was
noted in the number of incomes rang
ing from $4,000 to 100000 year.
The total receipts of the Bureau of

EXPLORERS OF
LABOR GET SORE
Stop Printing Northwest
Worker

Governor Clough, president of the
Clough Hartley Lumber and Single
Co., along with other parasites in the
manufacturing and lumber business,
seem to have lost all respect for The
Northwest Worker.
This paper has been trying to tell
the truth about the recent troubles in
Everett, but it seems that the truth
is not to the liking of the honorable
gentlemen ca.
1t seems that printers have stom-
achs and that, like other human be-
ings, must eat to live and work to eat.
Knowing this, Gov. Clough decided to
give Kane & Harcus, who printed our
paper, chance to choose between do
ing work for The Northwest Worker
or for the Lumber and Single inter
ests, and the printers chose the lat
ter, and out we went.
Well, we are here, anyhow, and we
will continue to stay in the field as
long as we can get printer nearby
to do our work. The lumber barons
may lock horns with us, but we can
assure them that they will have to do
whole lot of tussling to get the bet
ter of us. The suppression of a news
paper does not suppress the news be-
cause our message" the message of
a rebellious working class, can travel
faster and further by word Of mouth
than can the printed word. The lum-
Der barons are playing losing game,
hence we can expect them to use des-
perate methods, but those same meth
DDS will only quicken their downfall.
The rebellious portion Of the working
class do not expect to break the
chains of wage slavery by means of
magic wand. They expect to have to
fight every inch of the way. They eX-
pect such obstacles as the above. They
expect to be dubbed, jailed, shot and
hung, but that does not deter them,
for they know that che who would be
free, himself must strike the blow"
and so after the parasitic plutocrats
have done their damndest, it will be
all the more humiliating to them to
see labor come out of the scrap tri-
umphant. So in the words of the
Scotch poet we say, clay on McDuff
and damned be he who first cries,
hold! enough"
