fasI3, clative to placing team here
Mr. Apologize stated that AS soon as
the weather gets warmer he is coming
to Paris to see what can be done. He
said further that it seemed to be the
general plan to organize league tc
play Sunday ball only, but that several

game every day. Mr. Apologize was
of the opinion that a good paying club

LABOR AS | SAW 1T in RUSSIA
By JAMES DUNCAN.

The revolution was truly tremen-
dous event. Immediately it was sue
cessful, the revolutionists declared for
woman suffrage coequal with men; for
an eight-hour workday; for better con-
ditions of employment for men and
women; for earlier closing of stores,
and liberation from employment on
Sundays.
In addition to these advance steps it
was my privilege to recommend to
them the elimination of the employ
ment of boys and girls in factories,
mills, ETC., and the introduction, as
soon as their constitutional govern
ment should be elected and assembled,
of compulsory free education laws and
free text books. In short, l recon-
mended all the advantageous legisla-
ton we have in this country, including
protection to both men and women in
their several employments, and recog
milton of workmen's compensation for
all employment injuries.
The women of Russia are as mill
tant for democracy as the men. When
/ was there they had even gone SO far
as to volunteer to go to the front in
soldier uniforms to fight for their
country and their new democracy
against Prussian militarism, as they
have since done. l had the honor of
seeing regiment of "Amazons" hav-
ing their flags and accoutrements
blessed by their bishop in front of st.
Isaac's cathedral, Petrograd, the night
before they left for the front. Their
most ardent admirers were soldiers,
crippled and MANNED for life, grouped
near them, who indicated by words and
actions that, altho crippled, they
would have rejoiced to bear them COM
pany in their heroism.
Judging from the dark past Of old
Russia and the dawning light of new
Russia, my message is that the pros
poets for the future are bright with
promise.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-10-13

Note.-Mr. Duncan was appointed
by President Wilson to represent la
Dor on the Root commission to Russia.
For over twenty years first vice pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, and also international presi-
dent of the Granite Cutters Interna-
tional Association of America, Jim"
Duncan, as his friends affectionately
call him, has long stood out strong
and prominent figure among the lead
ers of organized labor.
Russian life and labor, as l saw it
recently, impressed me as being dis
tinctively in a formative stage.
Workmen's councils in the industrial
centers of Russia, more so than IN
Siberia, had really been the militant
power which brought about the great
est human revolution in history. The
revolution, however, had taken place
so suddenly, and without the essential
executive preparation, that voluntary
ascent to civil order and domestic dec
Drum were more in evidence than COM
pliance with any fixed system of gov
ernment or new constitutional regu-
lations.
The dark forces of the old regime
had not permitted education even OF
a primary nature to the masses, nor
opportunities for the common people
to demonstrate capabilities for the ad-
ministration of local or of representa-.
tive government Consequently, until
they have a constitutional convention
and an authorized election following IT,,
they are doing the very best they can
do, in a voluntary and formative way,
to conduct local and national govern
ment
The workmen's councils during the
past twelve years, since abrogatlon OF
the 1905 duma, had disseminated ht-
erature and information wherever pos
sible to the young peasants who short
ly would be drafted into the army,
showing that the army should be with
the industrial workers in favor OF
democracy instead of supporting the
czar or any form of autocracy. This
was good constructive work, for the
army was the deciding force. If 1t
was with the car, he won. If 1t went
with the common people, they would
win.
MANY of those who wrote or who
explained these glad tidings to the
illiterate peasants paid for it by long
terms in Siberian prisons, but as ten
of these apostles of the good cause
were thus put away, twelve others
took their places and thereby kept up
the vital and essentially revolutionary
propaganda. Therefore, when the
duma, at the ides of March, 1917, re-
piled to the czar that notwithstanding
his command abrogating the sittings,
it would not dissolve, the workmen's
councils having in these past twelve
years secured an understanding with
the peasants, who in the meantime had
constituted the army, the two infiu-
ences combined and declared the revo-
luton. This was done suddenly, SO
that the duma might not have the op-
portunity to change its position and
to dissolve in accordance with the
czar's instructions.
These activities of the workers in
New Russia are, consequently, what
brought about the great revolution,
revolution which will establish pow
erful and permanent democracy.

WHY WE SAVE

Our allies depend on America
for food. They are our compan-
ions in the great war for democ-
racy and liberty. They are doing
the fighting, suffering and dying
in our war Their food produc-
tion has been greatly decreased.
They can have food enough only
if America provides it. We save
a little every day out of our
abundance SO that they may be
kept on the fighting line and in
the -well-nourished to
continue the war until we our
selves can actively participate.
