CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL WARNS
US. THAT WAR FOES ARE MENACE TO
RUSSIA GAINING COMPLETE FREEDOM

ally, altho ! know enormously, viewed
as fighting only for Thentino and
Trieste; but the first proposition that
the Russians heard in regard TO the
United States and the war was that
the United States had come in for dis
interested purposes.
This thought made at first pc
culiar appeal to many a Russian al
TRUST. The German propaganda was
able to create some impression that
the United States was really as selfish
and materialistic in its aims as any
other country, yet the fact remains
that the United States is essentially
in a better position in Russia than any
other country.
Now, then. when il is made TO ap-
pear TO the average, intelligent Rus
sian that the United States is giving
up the war, he jumps at once to the
conclusion that there is nothing to
fight about and that the United States
will swiftly lead the rest Of the allies
to conclude peace.
"Of course, this is utterly fatal to
the fighting spirit. Equally, of course.
| II is utterly preposterous, because the
United States cannot by any possibil-
ity back out of this war and Great
Britain and France have not the slight
est intention of making peace until
ineir oDJtCNs nave Deen attained 90
the net result of the peace propaganda
in America is to strike down the arm
of Russia and leave her unprotected
against sweeping German victory
that would leave the allies and the
1 United States in n most painful posi-
ton.
But the Americans. ought to under
stand that the real issue of this war
has nothing to do with commerce or
trade or territorial additions by any
nation. The real issue of the war is
whether the world from this time forth
shall be democratic or autocratic. II
that can become the firm abiding faith
of every American, and If it can be
impressed clearly from America to
Russia. Germany will never break thru
that line; democracy will never fail in
Russia and the freedom and progress
of the human race are secured"

PATRONIZE THE UNION LABEL
AND SHOW YOUR FAITH in 1T

A man who patronizes the union
label is the highest type of trade un-
ionist. All other acts. with the possi-
BILE exception of self education. are
secondary. A union label on your col
lar is proof positive that your sympa-
thics are with the members of that
union. When you smoke n union made
cigar you know that n union cigar
maker will make another cigar Just
like the one you smoked, and he will
receive union wages for making it.
When you buy shirt with the
union label sewed in il you can say:
"A member of the Garment Workers
Union made this shirt and know it
was made with clean hands. There is
no child blood on it" Even when YOU
are buried, il you are laid to rest in
union made coffin. your last thought
can be comforting because your ashes
will mix with the ashes of the work
of n union carpenter.
Paying your dues does not fulfill
your obligations to your union. Your
union is only n small part of that
great army of organized workers who
are fighting for justice. Permanent
justice cannot come to one union. II
must come to all when it does come.
And it will be because of the united
strength of every organized worker in
America that it comes.
Every worker, either directly or
indirectly can patronizc practically
every industry in America where union
men and women are employed. When
you ride on n street car union men
should be operating that car. The
coal you burn should be mined by
union coal miners. and it should be
hauled by union teamsters. The stove
or furnace you burn it in should be
constructed by union workmen. The
union label of the horseshoers should
be on the horse that does your haul
ing, and the chauffeur who delivers
your household goods or groceries
should be union man.
The merchant you deal with knows
whether you are n union man or not,
and he knows how loyal you are to
unionism when he notes your attitude
toward union made goods. Your mcr-
chant is in position to inform your

THE UNION.

United we stand and our freedom COM
mand.
Divided we fall by the way,
And factional strife is the danger so
rife
That adds to our doom and dismay.
Be brothers, be men. Do you realize
when
We were slaves to the masters Of
gold,
Deprived Of our rights and the worlds
sweet delights,
Enslaved in the dark days of old?
Then pause and reflect and the Union
respect.
Let nothing detract from its aim:
Let jealousy's dart and all malice de
part;
Be tardy to censure or blame.
Be true to the cause and abide by its
laws,
And cherish its blessings, l pray;
Revere it and love it, no cause is above
it

Charles Edward Russell, one of the
clearest thinkers in America, member
of the American commission TO Russia,
has come back with a message that
ought to sink into the heart Of every
lover Of liberty and make every Amer
lean more firm in the resolve that this
nation must win a glorious victory for
democracy before the sword is
sheathcd
Russell, thrown out Of the Socialist
party because he insisted upon think
ing and acting as an American. gave to
the New York Times Of August u a
comprehensive interview concerning
Russia. His discussion Of the effect
of pacitist and pro-German propa-
ganda here upon the Russian democ-
racy is particularly worth study. Rus
sell maintains that every such activity
in America opens the way by that
much for the German soldiers to
march into the heart of Russia and
that one of the essentials of Russian
strength is unity in America TO fight
solidly and vigorously for democracy.
Here are the two most important
questions asked of Russell and his an
swcrs TO them:
Are any of the resentments of the
Russian government against this or
that European nation growing out of
the wars and treaties and the terri
torial partitions, and 80 on, Of the
nineteenth century still prevailing in
Russia as n republic
THE whole outfit Of inherited ira
dition on this subject has gone to the
junk pile. Russia today is singularly
free from any of these old cobwebs.
II cares nothing whatever about the
congress of Vienna or the treaty of
Berlin. II cares about nothing, as n
matter of fact, except the realization
of its dreams, of the cooperative
commonwealth. universal brotherhood,
and universal goodwill. and the main
reason why the element in favor of
the war grows daily is because more
men perceive that these dreams can
never be realized until the earth has
been freed from the menace Of Ger
man militarism and autocracy."
"To come back TO the matter of
pernicious peace talk in the American
congress, why is that any worse to the
general cause of all the allies than is
the demand of Russia for peace and
no annexation" Mr.. Russell was
asked
"You must understand that the
United States stands in relation to
Russia different from that of any 9th
er country. The activity of Great Bri-
tain in the war is to Russian eyes of
obvious origin. Russians also under
stand that, while France is fighting
for democracy, il is also fighting for
Alsace and Lorraine. Italy is gener-

employers as to your makeup as a
union man, and the employer knows
how far you will go in an industrial
conflict If he is Informed that you
buy non-union goods he knows. too.
that you will be weak in real battle
for your rights, and if he can find
enough of your kind in your union he
knows he has got you licked before
the battle starts.
Remember, il you buy scab hat
that the union halter is justified in
refusing to patronize the goods that
you turn out He is not justified
really. but he will feel that way about
it il he sees You make the purchase.
And remember, the honest merchant
who sells union made hats, suits, etc,
is not being treated right when You
go out of your way to buy the non
union article.
The complete organization and ANAL
gamation of every worker on this con-
tinent is the goal toward which we
are striving, and it is only thru the
purchase of union made goods that
our ideals can ever be realized. Now
is the time to start.

HANDING JOE A JOLT.

Joe wouldn't join the union, and he
swore he would be free;
To any walkin' delegate he'd never
bow his knee.
He settled his own wages and he said
he'd go alone
He swore he'd tend his business and
let others tend their own.
And Joe swelled up right chesty, and
said he'd make bold to state
He'd never be hornswoggled by a
walkin' delegate.
A comrade told Joe capital was organ
lied for greed,
But Joe just laughed and hooted and
he didn't give it heed.
He reckoned he was smart enough for
holding up his end
Against all schemes of grindin' down
that capital could send.
So with a merry "ha! haw Joe kept
toilin' until late,
And said he'd stand no bossin' from a
walkin' delegate.
The bosses cut down wages and the
union men all struck;
But Joe just knuckled under, and tight
to his job he stuck
And when the employers cheered him

Joe thought he was one surely, and
felt proud as he could be.
And then they cut his wages nearer
to starvation's rate
But Joe said. "I'll keep on workin'
spite the walkin' delegate.
Then work stopped because the bosses
couldn't scare up scabs enough,
And then Joe was on his uppers and
was feeling mighty tough.
Then, when union men were sent for,
cause they knew their chosen
trade,
An agreement with the union and a
higher wage was made.
But Joe found himself at leisure to sit
down and contemplate
The freedom he was proud of from the
walkin' delegate.
