BATTLE LINE OF DEMOCRACY STRETCHES FROM FIELDS
OF 0FFLANDERS TO EVERY WORKNIANS HOME SAYS WILSON

just request advanced by you and your associates
in the name of the American workman.
mo one who is not blind fail to see that the
battle line of democracy for America stretches
today from the fields of Flanders to every house
and workshop where toling. upward-strivng men
and women are counting the treasury OF right and
justice and liberty which are being threatened by
present enemies.
1t has been a matter of surprise to me that
the leaders in certain groups have sought ignore
our grievances against the men who have equally
risled the American people. Their insistence that
nation whose rights have been grossly violated
whose citizens have been foully murdered under
their own flag, whose neighbors have been invited
to JOIN IN making conquest of its territory whose
patience IN pressing the claims of Justice and hu-
manity has been met with the most shameful policy
OF turbulence and treachery. their nsistence that
nation outraged does not know its own mind
that It has no comprehensive reason for defending
itself or for joining with all its might in maintain
ing free future for itself and its ideals. is of
piece with their deafness the oft-repeated state
ment OF our national purposes
1t IS perhaps that these forces of antagonisrn
have not yet learned to know the voice of that
America we love and 1t may well be that
those among US who stand ready forward the
plans OF aggression bred in secret. do not under
stand the language of democracy when it pro-
claims the purposes OF in terms of a peace for
the peoples that shall be untroubled by those to
whom are but the pawns in their struggle for
power and gain.
But true Americans those who toll here for
home and the people, of better things, whose lifted
eyes have caught the vision of a liberated world
have said that of the policy of blood and there
shsllhe end and that equal justice which is the
heart OF democracy shall rule in its stead.
May not those who toll and those who have
made common cause of the larger hope for the
masses of mankind take renewed heart as they
think those days when America has taken its
stand for the rights of humanity and the fellowship
Of social and international justice?
Sincerely yours

COLORADO SPRINGS, September
l2.-An acute labor trouble arose at
Broadmoor last week upon the new
hotel buildings, which threatened Sc
rious results, but was not mentioned
in the daily papers.
1t seems that the union carpenters
have a trade regulation which gives
to them the building up and tearing
down of all form work made from
lumber when the structure is built of
concrete.
The management of the hotel COM
pany decided. on account of the scar
city of skilled union labor, TO employ
common laborers to do this work. and
began the importation of negroes from
the levees about East St. Louis
The carpenters protested, but were
met with the statement that if they
could not furnish help enough to erect
the building on time, then the man.
agement would get help where and
when they could.
1t is reported that when the carload
of negroes arrived, in anticipation of
trouble, they were put to sleep on
shakedowns made from gunny sacks,
and were improperly housed and cared
for.
a meeting of the union men of all
trades was held and it was put up TO
the hotel people that if this unskilled
labor was used in form building and
wrecking. the union men would quit
work. This they did at 1 p. m, Tues
day. and on Wednesday morning not
an electrician, plumber, carpenter or
building laborer was at work.
The strike lasted but one day. when
the hotel management acceded TO the
union demands. 1t is said one feature
of the strike was the importation of
several white men from Pueblo be
longing to the l. W W, as strike
breakers, but these men refused TO go
to work on the job.
From the number of men involved
this is believed to be the largest and
most successful strike that has taken
place in this vicinity for years.
