WASH. NOTES

A Local with seven members was
organized at Entiat last week and
the Local at Cashmere was re-or-
ganzied. In addition to this we re-
ceived request from two other
points for information ON how to
organize into the Socialist Party.
This indicates that unafliated So
cialists are at last waking up to the
seriousness of the situation ahead
of us and that they recognize the
power of organization.
Comrade H. II. Stallard informs
us that on May 25th a young preach
er (who takes the Christian religion
seriously invaded a "war booster"
meeting at Nampa, Idaho, carrying a
picture of Christ, with the inscrip-
ton thereon Thou shalt not kill"
and was mobbed. How about it
"Ye vipers and hypocrits" who pre-
tend to preach and practice the
Christianity taught by Jesus Christ
On May both four thousand people
paraded the streets of Ottawa, Can
ada shouting Down with Conscrip-
ton" Canada forever, CONSUMPTION
never" etc. Such is the sentiment
as voiced by the PEOPLE in all of
the beligerent misunderstanding our
own.
Comrade Carl Ulonska addressed
an anti-war meeting at Mount Yer
non on Saturday evening, May 26.
He reports the meeting we'll attend
ed and much interest manifested.
Resolved BY the State Executive
Committee Of the Socialist Party of
Washington in Session June Bird,
1917:
First-We are poposed to involun-
tary servitude as being contrary to
the 18th amendment of the u. S.
Constitution which reads: Neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude, eX-
cept as a punishment for crime
whereof the party shall have been
duly convicted, shall exist within the
United States, or any place subject
to their jurisdiction.
Second-Therefore we are opposed
to Consumption.
Third-We refuse to sanction the
mass murder of the worker in the
interest of the capitalist class.
Fourth-We pledge ourselves to
continued efforts for the repeal of
the conscription law and pending such
repeal will support all mass move
ments to that end.

A wIiter of German birth writes to
the Chicago Tribune a very loyal SEN

1t sickens my soul to think OF this
nation going forth 10 help destroy
people many OF whom are bound TO
me By ties OF blood and friendship.
But II must be So 1t Is like q dread

tic. undemocratic demon which rules
Germany must be cast out. II IL for
US to do it-NOW.

our affair. that we should content our
selves with measures of defense and
armed neutrality. hut know that It
is not so.
The mailed fist has been shaken
under our nose before. II Prussianism
triumphs in this war the FIST will con
tinue 10 shake. We shall be in real
peril and those ideals for which so
much OF the worlds best blood has
been spilled through the centuries
will be in danger OF extinction. II
seems to me common sense that we
begin our defense by immediate at
tack. when the demon is occupied
and when we can command assist.

There Is much talk Of what people
like me will do. and fear Of the by

and vacillation shows that he doubts
the solidarity OF the nation.
But I think tie nation is only crop

action be could bring all the people

that We enter the struggle to save

which our State is built. would~ at
once bring all the conflicting emotions
Of our people into patriotic unity.
Then all foolish notions of copper
heads and traitors would seem mere

INTERESTING ADDRESS
ON STEEL INDUSTRY

Vigor, vim. terseness information
and inspiration, characterized the
lecture on THE Age of Steel given
by DIR. Vosburgh of the University OF
Denver at the Methodist church Mon.
day night. Another large audience
completely filed the church.
During The past 80 years. he
said. civilization has reached the
age of scientific invention and great
industrialism and in these lines re-
suits have been produced far beyond
anything the human race has ever
bewildering results have ushered in
the new era of modern life. The ori
gin and development of the Steel in
dustry. which began after the mid
die of the last century. has been mar
velous beyond belief. There has
been no advance Like 1t in the history
of the world"
In 1875 this country produced $50.
600 tons of steel and in 1916 we pro
duced 10000. GOO tons. In this indus
try We hold the Overwhelming leader
ship of the world. It employs hun
dreds of thousands OF men and pays
out hundreds of millions of dollars IL
wages. Steel is our largest export.
DIR. Vosburgh took his hearers thru
the great iron ore mines about Lake
Superior, which he said are the lar
gest mines in TIE world. They pro
duce one third of the iron ore of the
United States and onesixth of the
world output.
He took his hearers on a journey
thru tie c. F. and l. Plant at Pue
bio. showing the process of the max
ing of steel. by many most interest
ing views.
The sociological work at Pueblo
and thruout the United States was
splendidly illustrated. TIE care OF
tie workmen and welfare work was
closely shown. formerly" he said
these great corporations realized Il
was their duty to see that the share
holders had Just dividend. in add
ton tc this they now have an ethical
vision of their duty to their workmen
which they are fulfilling"
The close OF the lecture dealt with
the uses to which steel is put. 1T
is" DR.. vosburgh said. "the structur
al metal of modern times. 1t has in
fiuenced architecture. industrialism,
shop and the farm more widely than
any other industry. We ride on steel
rails on steel cars ard sail on steel
steamers over the seas.
The views shown covered a wide
range and were clear-cut and very
beautiful; giving the audience a splen
did idea OF the age Of steel.
Tonight the subject will be The
Petroleum Industry"
