MADE in GERMANY

1t would give economic equality"
to Southern Slavs, but would not
free them from Austria
1t would give political independence
to Ireland-though the Irish ques-
ton probably will be settled long
before the war ends.
Eastern Macedonia as far as the
Vardar to go to Bulgaria.
Territorial autonomy to Russian
nationalities, which would mean the
division of Russia, devoutely desir-
ed by Germany.
The whole program is German
program, designed to strengthen
Germany at every point and to levy
tribute on all the other nations so
that Germany may emerge from
her mad orgy ready for another
slash at the world
1t is a program to make the
world safe for autocracy; a program
inspired in Berlin and given to the
world via Stockholm.
The world will not be hoodwinked
by such a program.
America will not be hoodwinked
by such program.
1t is clear now that the nations
did well in refusing passports to
delegates TO attend the conference
called to act on this farcial "inter-
national program"
There are persons in America and
organizations that support this in
famous program.
The so-called peoples council is
one of the organizations that sup
ports this "made in Germany" pro-
gram. Morris Hillquit, sponsor-in-
chief for this so-called council, is
one of the leading individual sup
porters. He was selected as an
american" delegate to attend this
conference.
The Socialist party, which selected
MIN, is anOther american" Organl-
cation that supports the Stockholm"
plan.
But this German trick is doomed
to fail. 1t is doomed to fail be-
cause the world knows Germany
and it knows Germany's tricks and
Germany's treacherous plans.
The world has been betrayed once
by this infamous autocracy - and
NEVER AGAIN!
When the world is SAFE FOR
DEMOCRACY the guns guns will
be silent. Until then arbiters of
the worlds destiny will speak from
the battle front with their message
o fdemocracy's determination to con-
quer!

OLD AGE RETIREMENT
PENSIONS ENDANGERED

Many old employees who have been
counting upon retirement pensions
promised by their employers at the
end of long service are now in
danger of losing this privilege. The
Engineer Journal" reports that the
New York Central railroad plans to
hold all employees possible at work
by Withholding their right to retire
on pension at 70 years of age, unless
physically unfit. Such arbitrary
denial of pensions at the will of
private employers, for whatever pur-
pose, it is being pointed out, makes
the enactment of legislation to pro-
vide definite social insurance an i'm
mediate necessity, and emphasizes
the war time request of trade union
declarations of England, France, Bel
GUM, and Italy that all countries
not yet having health insurance laws
pass them within the shortest per-
iOd."

STATE FUNDS ARE
LESS COSTLY THAN
PRIVATE COMPANIES

MADISON, Wis. Especially Fire
insurance companies that have been
making d desperate but apparently
losing fight to abolish the Wiscon-
sin fund in which the state insures
It's own buildings, have been con-
fronted with a significant COMPARE
son of costs.
The fund has been in existence
since 1903. In the fourteen years
ending January l last, the fund
collected premiums totalling $685.
1876, and paid out in losses on state
property $532,930.
The premiums We're collected on a
rate which was 60 per cent of that
charged by private companies, max
ing a saving to the state in premi-
ums of over 100000 in addition to
the surplus of $26,100 now at hand.
The expense of administering the
fund for the IA years was but SILL
4G7, or less than 2 per cent of the
premiums collected.
The expenses and profits of pri-
vate insurance companies on the
fire insurance business of the whole
state of Wisconsin for the last 10
years is shown to have been ap-
proximately So per cent of the
premiums collected.
Advocates of workmen's health in
surance who insist that private prof
its must be prohibited in any sue
cesstul plan are making active use
Of this striking difference between
: per cent and Sc per cent in cost
OF operation. What is true of fire
insurance in this respect, they con-
tend, is similarly true in casualty
and health insurance. The legisla-
tive investigating commission in
Massachusetts,, they are pointing out.
recently reported that it cost 66
ID cents to carry a dollar through
the stock company system from en-
ployer to employee, while the cost
under the state mutual system is but
IA cents. In any form of public
insurance, mutual health and COM
pensation as well as state fire in
surance on public buildings, it is
claimed, the social purpose is best
served in the degree to which ex-
cesslve and burdensome costs and
private profits are eliminated.

Must be, in the interest of common
veal, ended.
That means your extortions are to
stop
Despite your porcine squeals.
1t means your encouragement OF
anarchy must cease,
And this also pretty doggone pronto
1t means that your profiteering
Will soon be at an end.
1t means that there will be
More half thousand-a-m month work.
And fewer half -billion-a-year en-
ployers.
1t is necessary, for human happiness,
To spread the sugar around more
generally.
If every workman got a thousand
month,
And there could be found
Nary a Carnegie, nor Morgan, nor
Griggs,
Existed outside of perdition,
Why, plutocrat, old top, you simple
Sour, pot-bellied, jealous old union
hater, you,
Not so many children would starve
And even you, if you had to eat
soldiers chow,
Or your own wife's cooking,
Do workman's work instead of pos
ing golf sticks,
Would be healthier and happier,
And perhaps, mind, l say, perhaps
You might again be human.
Let the plumber and other work.
Have all the high wages they can
get.
While and when they get them
donchersknaw,
Whining philanthropists will not be
wheedling
You for aims to run souphouses.
Then that flag that we both love
And both would die for,
Will no longer cover Dives anC
Lazarus,
Riches and rags,
But we can truly believe these is q
heaven
Because we have it here on earth

ENLISTED MEN MUST
APPLY FOR INSURANCE

Now that the government is ready
to insure the lives of enlisted men
under the new soldiers and sailors
insurance law, efforts are being
made to acquaint every man in the
service with the advantages of max
ing early application to Uncle Sam.
Since this insurance is voluntary. it
is pointed out, steps must be taken
to inform all "the boys in khaki"
who might otherwise overlook tbie
opportunity to secure, at very mod
crate cost, generous protection for
themselves and their dependents
Frinds and relatives it is hoped will
urge the soldiers and sailors to ap-
ply at once for this government in
surance.

ARE YOU DOING
PART TO WIN WAR

President Wilson recently said, "In
no direction can American women so
greatly assist in the winning of the
war as by enlisting in the service of
the Food Administration and cheer
fully accepting its direction and adj
vice" Have you signed the Pledge
Card yet? Are you fighting for
America or helping Prussia? If
you are economizing in your use of
wheat, meat, butter and sugar you
are fighting with America, but if
you are wasting food you are help
ing the Kaiser.
We should eat all we need. but
should eat wisely and without waste.
We can do this by using less, by
buying seasonable supplies, by serv-
ing smaller portions, by using poul-
try, game and fish in place of beef,
mutton and pork, by using less
sugar. To keep our own soldiers
and those of our allies in fighting
trim by furnishing them the neces-
sary food is our duty. Herbert Hoov-
er says that is duty of necessity,
humanity and honor. AS a free
people we have elected to discharge
this duty, not under autocratic de-
cree, but without other restraint
than the guidance of individual con-
science.
Are you doing your part to help
win the war.

SPIRIT ROUSERS
BY CHARLES PERRY TAYLOR
Secretary Washington State
Federation of Labor

Two days last week
One of the Tacoma evening papers
Contained four-column advertise
ment
Of some union-bursting organization
of Capital,
Filled with a TRADE against labor
unions
Because men constructing barracks
Had been we'll paid by the Govern
ment,
In the screed the charge was made
That union men were paid extor-
tionate wages.
In holy horror these industrial hogs
Bewaied the fact that men with skill
And strength and craftsmanship
Had been we'll rewarded for honest
toll,
Because overtime was time and a
half,
Or double time, or else because
Sunday work was higher paid,
These pharisees of Capital
Bawled Labor out to beat the band.
Ever heard the story of the hoggish
boy,
Who. having the largest piece of
pie,
Cried because he did not get it
all?
These plutocrats of Capital,
With their half million dollars raised
To wreck Timber Workers Unions
And defeat the eight-hour day
In the lumber industry, are sorely
peeved.
What if men who work are well
paid?
SO much the better.
Have they always had steady work
Or always had high wages?
Your backbone, Capitalist, never
scratched
Your belly for lack of beefsteak.
Since when has it been the lot
Of union plumbers, or other union
lists,
To keep several motor cars,
A steam yacht, own a million in
bonds,
Have a locker at the Country Club,
Own several mills, or newspapers, or
railroads ?
Who among their wives has French
maid
And a Pekinese pup?
A scented bath and manicured toe
nails?
Since when have a union workman
and his wife
Been able to settle themselves
Among the cushions and yawp:
''Home, James ?"
Some people make me ALFRED sick,
and you,
Mr.. Union Halter, are one of them,
And not the least of them by darn
sight.
Last night you prayed to God
To make you good man, and He
didn't do it.
Chief among these who nauseate
Are those who, from time immem-
orial,
Have exploited their fellow men who
labor,
Now bellyaching because workmen
at last,
At the hands of good old Uncle
Sam,
Are being we'll paid
My Gawd, what long tail our cat
has.
How sour the grapes on plutocracy's
table,
All because a monkey wrench would
eat.
Some of the porcine gentlemen
Get that cognomen, gentlemen ?"-
Who never yet realized that any
other human
Than themselves had rights;
Some of the stuffed aristocrats
Who have raised millions to break
Union Labor by pouring money into
The notorious activities of traitor
Gus
And seditious revolutionary lunacy
aggregations,
Will have need ere long to realize
That the world is moving onward,
That unless they wake up,
And wake damn quick,
They will find their castles shat
tered.
The day of Kaisers is about over.
The world, our Government not ex-
