 The whole matter ends in a manner which is satisfactory to the employees and at the same time the railroads gave evidence of their high sense of obligation and their unwillingness to permit any embarrassment to the country at this time of extreme strain because of their own persistence in a policy which they did not like to break down, but which they were willing to give.'

CALOMEL TODAY,
 SICK TOMORROW Dose of nasty calomel makes you sick and you lose a
 days work

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Cal omel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver When calomel comes into con tact with sour bile it crashes into it. causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headaci,y, consti- pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dan gerous calomol Take a spoonful and if 1t doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty ca1omel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If you take calome1 today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides. it may salivate you, while if you take Dodsons Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleas ant and safe to give to children; they like it.-Ady.

Berlin, March 14-CWednesday, via Say the lower house of the Prussian Diet, pr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, speaking as Prussian prime minister, after alluding to the gigantic internal task the nation would have to face after the war and the strong foreign policy. it would be neces- sary for it to pursue is quoted in the summary of the address issued by the Overseas News Agency (the official Ger man news bureau) as declaring:
 Such a strong policy internal and ex- ternal will only be possible if the political rights of the community are such as to make possible to the whole nation, in all it's ranks, including the great masses, equal and cheerful cooperation of all.
 Every son of the nation, in courage ous struggle, has given his last and best poor and rich. low born and high born. No one can claim that he did more or better than another. If only one link in the chain fails, can we then gain? And can we live after this war if, while peace prevails, one part of the body of our na- tion fails?
 Before the war the interests of the working classes frequently were opposed to the interests of the state and of the employers, as if there were irreconcilable opposition. I hope that the war has cured us of this error. For, if it were so, if it were not determined to accept the lessons taught by the vast experiences of this war as affecting all questions of political life, in the regulation of the laws regarding employment, in regulation of the electoral franchise in Prussia, in regulation of the whole Parliament-if it were not decided

MODELLING OUR
INDUSTRIAL ARMY

That the mobilization of a great
army of men and women in the in
dustries to serve the nation in war
requires efficient machinery and
proper standards, is the declaration
made in the second Special Bulletin
on Labor Laws in War Time" just
suised by the American Association
for Labor Legislation.
GAS men go to the front from in
dustrial pursuits, those remaining
must be kept fit to meet the in
creased demand for materials" the
bulletin states. "And as women en-
ter industry in rapidly increasing
numbers, the need becomes even
more pressing for protective meas
ures."
Equal pay for equal work without
discrimination as to sex is urged.
Women who really take the places
of men should receive the pay of
men," according to the bulletin. "Ac-
copied wage standards, built up
through years of struggle, should
not be undermined under cover of
war necessity No such necessity
has appeared"
Labor placement should be under
public control, according to the AS
ISOLATION, and the whole system ex-
banded around federal, state, and
city public employment bureaus.
Safety First and Health First
good business always-are pressing
requirements now that production has
to be increased and workers are pour
ing into employments new to them"
the bulletin states. vigilance, too,
must be exercised to protect women
entering industries from bad sur
roundings, injurious tasks and ex-
ploitation-moral or physical Com
plete protection of working men and
women in the pressure of war-and
the guarding of the children-cannot
be secured without strict administra-
ton of labor laws"
Officials entrusted with the ad-
ministraton of labor laws in prac-
tically all the states, reports the
bulletin, have indicated their inten-
SION to MAINTAIN rigldIy the protec-
tive measures for labor during the
war. ATTACKS upon labor laws have
been checked by overwhelming evil
dence that prevention of speeding
up and overstrain is true war ne
cessity. Practical tests have shown
that maximum production of mater
aIa depend upon protection of
workers"

AN INQUIRY

When did England fight for free
dom?
Did she ever stand before
On the side of smaller. nations,
Or keep hunger from their door?
History's pages cen though CEN
- sored,
Cannot hide the bloody trail
She has made wherere she wan
dered,
Human misery tells the tale.
Piece by piece her mighty empire
By theft and rapine has been built;
Smaller peoples she has throttled,
Can she now be free from guilt?
En- at home her sons are plundered,
Those who toll for idle lords
Weep in vain for life's enjoyment,
While the mighty gather boards.
Starving India, Scuttled Erin,
Monuments to heartless greed
Haunt her statesmen; prove that
justice,
Never was in England's creed.
Now that foreign foes beset her,
Tear the mask off from her face;
Quaking knees are quickly Bonded,
Toward the west for saving grace.
Toward that west, where thrice re-
peated, AZ
Freedoms light she tried to dim,
Jealous of that western progress,
Fearful Of its battle hymn
Western men have you forgotten
Men, whove drank of freedom mine,
Will you save this dying harlot;
Will you call foul things divine?

COUNTY ORGANIZER
IN THE FIELD

The newly elected County Execu-
tive Committee which held it's first
meeting Sunday, June "a, was i'm
bued with feeling of optimism and
enthusiasm.
The members were UNANIMOUS
in the belief that now was the best
time in the history of the Socialist
movement for the carrying on of our
propa ganda, and that the 1918 cam
paign so far as Snohomish county
was concerned should begin now.
Accordingly Comrade J. NJ Salter
was authorized to act as a county
organizer. Comrade Salter knows
every highway and by-way of the
county and expects to cover the ter
ritory by auto. He is under no
guarantee from the organization and
expects to be compensated from COL
lections, donations and literature
sales.
Contributions and pledges to a
permanent organization fund to con-
tinue the work of organization after
Comrade Salter resumes his school
duties is desired by the County Exec
utive Committee.
The Committee feels that the sue
cess of the movement now lies with
the membership Comrade Salter is
a hard and enthusiastic worker in
the cause of Socialism and enjoys
the confidence of the membership.
His work will entirely depend upon
the support and cooperation given
him by the Comrades and sympa-
thizers. Comrade Salter will start
out next week. Locals wishing dates
should apply to j. M. Salter, 1901

KATE RICHARDS O'HARE
MAKES HIT

We are not going to say that a
large audience turned out to hear
Kate Richards O'Hare, for it was
not nearly large enough. 1t was
an appreciative and responsive audi
ence, however, which made up for
the seats that were left empty on
account of the heavy downpour of
rain
1t was speech that Socialists all
needed to hear. 1t would have STIR
red the good red blood in your
veins to action against the monster
of militarism that is creeping up
on this nation.
She told of the charges once made
against Socialists. We were blood
thirsty, wanted to stir up strife and
hatred, break up the family and
destroy religion, upset all moral
codes, divide up the wealth, ETC.,
and now we are being put in prison
for standing for peace on earth, good
will toward all men. And strange
to say all the people who charged
Socialists with these things are now
standing for them, for they are all
done by the war lords of Europe.
Women are practically made to
breed and the soldiers are conscript-
ed and then told to breed before they
die.

(By ID. G.. McKenzie)

Historic materialism, or the Ma
terialist Conception of History is
that conception which arises from the
examination Of historical facts in
the light of the determinist princi-
pie. History is the story of the
human race, or of portion of it.
Consequently it is in the nature
of a landscape painting in that it
necessarily confines itself to the
prominent features, rather than to
detail. What are the really prom
inent features of history depends of
course on whether history is view
ed from the classical or the material
list standpoint. The main difference
between the classical and the mater
ialist conception of history is that
one deals with deeds, and the other
with happenings, as will appear.
The histories eXtant, belong, al
most exclusively, to the former
school, and naturally so because
their writers have been taught, and
have accepted as matter of course,
that man is free agent more or less
the master of his own destiny. From
which it follows that peoples, and
the human race generally, are also
free agents and their histories con-
sist of their actions. Of these &C.
lions, the most spectacular appear
to the classical historians as the
most important.
So we find the classical histories
devoted almost exclusively to chron-
icalling wars, rebellions, and the
Innlv onI ,,,iclnaIc af ,-,,1a,,c
conquerors, with a marked tendency
in the modern histories to extol the
virtues, real or suppositous, of their
monarchs and great men" gener-
ally, particularly those more recent,
and to conceal their faults and fail
ings. Further the charge is fire.
qucntly levelled at their authors Of
seeking to glorify rulership and class
institutions for the purpose of blind
ing the ruled to their real interests.
We are, however, disinclined to credit
them with so much ill-disposed acu-
men, and are of opinion that the ap-
pearance of doing so arises not from
any design on the part as from the
fact that they themselves are i'm
bued with the class ideas which they
promulgate as matter of course.
On the other hand, history of the
materialist school is the very re-
verse of the above. It's basis is that
man is not a free agent but a
creature of circumstance. That he
has not been created but grown, and
is growing. That environment has
moulded him to his present form and
characteristics upon a base deter
mined by heredity, which itself, again
is but the effect Of the environment
of his progenitors. That his &C
