New OK, August IU-WlII the four
great railroad brOtherhoods call a gen
eraI strike affecting the railway trans
portatlon system throughout the ma
Glon to enforce their e1ght-houF day
demand?
Ihls question is beng asked every
where now. Inc vote count is beng

UNION Workers-the unions believing
tnaI these are enutled to vote as IN
case OF a strike they would be in
volved-Were cast in secret, those on
the inside predict that between 80 and
Us per cent OF all votes will favor
a general strike.
Inc brotherhoods are willing to ar
DitraGe the matter even now. Inc con-
ference their representatives held mere
with the railroad magnates represen-
LatlVes beginning June l lasted about
Two weeks, when it broke up because
the magnates absolutely refused to
consider the mems demand for the
elght-hour day and time and half
The managers did propose that the
matter be 'arbitrated'' by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. This
the workers refused as being unfair.
In explaining their position, union
leaders pointed out that the Interstate
Commerce Commission had no author
ity whatsoever to rule in matter as
tnat at dispute between the railroad
owners and the unions. The most the
commission could do, after taking per
haps three or five years for an in
vestigation," would be to make a
recommendation which in no sense
could bind either party.
| Should the strike vote favor walk
out, the union officials will probably
spend several weeks in conference
with the National Conference Commit
tee, composed of railroad heads, il
order to give the oWenrs another op
portunity to accede to the workers
demands. 1t is possible also that ne
gotiations may be started with Fed
eraI officials who are anxious to pre-
vent the biggest strike that the coun
try has ever been involved in.
No date is set by the strike vote al
to when the general strike shall bt
called. This is left entirely in thu
hands of the union officials.

much to allow. the victories. of peace
to be wrested from it. This peace
must endure.
The splendid movement that has
sprung out of this struggle, the move
ment for a great Pan-American Fed
Grafton of Labor, will go on and bring
TO the two continents of the Western
world the beautiful fruits of great
idealism put into deeds.
Labor has built for itself here rec
ord that must and will endure as long
as men read and glory in achievement.
Labor has written a story here that
men will never tire of telling. Labor
has put forth it's strength and COM
manded.
So as the stories come from Wash
ington now, telling of the naming Of
commissioners and the finishing of
plans of harmony between two ma
lions, remember that it was the great
strength of labor, the fine idealism
and the unflinching purpose of labor,
that furnished the foundation for it

has sent up howl Of indignation be-
cause it is frequently compelled to
pay out of its treasury for efficient"
men who can kill and slug and crush
the rising workers because not enough
BLACK Cossacks' are furnished the
employers for their savage purpose.
Here is circular which the league
has Just been spreading broadcast
through the State:
I'm the general apprehension for
greater preparedness to cope with for
eign nations, it is believed that, a ne
cessity fully as grave and serious is
being overlooked or at least greatly
minimized, and that is the need of an
adequate military establishment to act
as civil police force.
due to lack of sufficient militia,
business men in the United States
have frequently been placed under the
undue burden of having to engage and
pay for the services of men recruited
privately and to have them commits
stoned as deputies by the civil authori-
ties. In the nature of things these
private forces are without efficient
military training, as at Youngstown,
O., in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. In
the single month Of October in 1918,
the meager military force of four sep
arate States we're required in the field
against labor, in Calumet, Mich, in
Indianapolis and in Colorado and West
Virginia.
I'm view of these facts, we urge all
business men, whether affiliated with
this league or not, to spare no effort
, to further the idea of preparedness;
and it is doubly important that all en-
ployers take advantage of this oppor-
tune time to solicit personally their
loyal and dependable employees to join
the militia of their several States.
I'm this entire matter business men
should be sensible of the advantages
to be had from military training in
point of greater discipline and eff
cheney of the work people for their
ordinary civil employment. Every en-
ploye returning from training camp
or militia drill will forthwith show
himself more obedient and faithful,
and the trouble-maker will disappear"

(By Chester nj. Wrisht.)

Present indications are that the
Mexican crisis has passed finally into
history. All that remains is the WORK
ing out OF the settlement through. the
agency OF commission OF SIX, three
named by each nation.
The most important feature OF the
whole situation is, not that diplomats
have come together and agreed to do
certain things, but that they came to-
getner and agreed to do these things
after they we're given a compelling
demonstration of the power OF or
! ganlzed labor.
Let US look at few facts-facts
are not usually interesting, and these
surely are:
After the battle of Carrizal there
were some Americans in the hanus OF
the Mexican army. The TWO nations
were at gun points over this matter
OF prisoners. 1t was this thing that
drove the two nations to the very
point OF war.
Just when the clouds were blacklist,
wnen despair seemed deepest, tele-
gram was sent from the headquarters
of the American Federation OF Labor
in Washington by President Samuel
rama in Mexico City. This telegram
asked the release OF the American
prisoners. The answer came back,
granting the request. The answer
didn't go to the diplomats. It went
to the American labor movement
through it's president.
Then came the wonderful meeting
of authorized representatives OF the
1oI
ments. Here the workers OF 1.-THE two
nations joined hands in common cause
while the yellow press and the war
maniacs shouted their loudest Tor the
spilling of blood. Labor said, we
will not have war; fraternity is what
we want"
At that point the war fever began
p, to subside. From that moment the
drift was toward peace.
Mark well the facts in this case
Every step of the way, every lmpor
tant development, every vital fluctua
ton of the tide was marked by an &C
tion of the labor movement. You cal
search the record as closely as yol
will and you cannot find the influence
of diplomacy, but you cannot look
lit even specifically without finding
the tremendous influence of labor.
We have here what comes neare
to being a record of an organic pre-
cess than can be found in almost an,
other great international development
Usually it is the force of the maste
class that determines international il
sues. Usually it is the weight of do
lars that rules. Here it was the il
fluence of the working class tina
turned the scales. Here it was tn
weight of humanity's veal
Having come this far on the roat
it is not likely that there can be an
turning back toward the horribl
threat of war. Labor has won tc

Chamberlain Law Is
U. S. Consumption Club

The Chamberlain law, through a
Joker that appeared harmless enough
when the measure passed, is to the
nation what the Bloody Five" mill
tarist laws are to New York State. In
other words, it provides for national
compulsory CONSUMPTION in certain ext
gencies. That these may be, stretched
by advocates of militarism in the
United States need hardly be men
toned.
Here is the vicious clause: "lf for
any reason there shall not be enough
voluntary enlistments to keep the re-
serve battalions at the prescribed
strength, a sufficient number OF the
uno rQanized militia shall be drafted
into the United States service to main
tain each of such battaIions at the
proper strength. As vacancies occur
by death or other means, they shall
be filled from the reserve"
! The "unorganized'' or reserve mill
tia includes every able-bodied man be
tween the ages Of IL and 80.
A test case is likely to arise in Ohio
where, despite all the hullabaloo abou
preparedness, there have not beer
enough volunteer enlistments to make
a required battalion. The menace o
transcription is thus held, over thu
citizens Of that state.
Thus, the Congress of the United
| States has made provisions for forcing
linvoluntarily servitude upon the free
citizens of this nation.

IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTRIES
Arrangements, Which Reflect
the Peoples Ideas.

Throughout Cuba and Central Amer
lea, the presence of soldiers dignifies
the clumsy quaintness of the Easter
celebrations. Crowds gather early in
the plazas to watch the life-sized,
waxen image Of Jesus borne out Of the
cathedral on high-draped platform.
Acolytes, bearing censers, precede 1t,
and behind it trail clouds Of priests,
bands, and flags. The procession
moves slowly through a main thor.
oughfare until it meets second fig.
ure, respondent in blue paint, curls,
and finery. There is a pause as the
two figures confront each other. Then
the second-Mary Magdalene = is
turned laboriously about and gallops
away with its joyful news. 1t en-
counters third figure, painted yellow
and decked with gold, as BELTS the
Latin-American conception of the Vir-
gin Mary. With the gilded figure lead
ing, the two Marys trot back through
the crowded streets to the first image.
AS the three meet, their draped plat
forms tip forward in solemn, silent
bows, while thousands of awed be-
levers watch in silence. Forming into
line, the three images are borne back
to the cathedral, the troops fire .
salvo, and the Easter services begin.
