CONSUMPTION: WHAT 1T
MEANS TO DEMOCRACY

(By George W. Nasmyth, Phi. d.
"A much deeper principle is in
volved than is usually discussed in
connection with universal military
service; What kind Of society do
we wish to live in? For, if the prin-
ciple of compulsion is accepted in
the case of military service, it must
be logically accepted for service in
munition factories, on the railroads,
in coal mines and in all industrial
and economic life upon which modern
wars depend. In other words, once
having granted the principle Of COM
pulsicn on the ground Of military
necessity, al! the fundamental prin-
ciples Of democracy must be sscri-
feed and our country must be "Prus-
sisni1ed" from within. Freedom OF
speech. freedom Of assembly and free.
dom Of the press are all opposed
to military effectiveness and must
disappear step by step if freedom Ot
conscience, the advance trench OF
democracy. is carried by the mill
taFists; for in the lasE analysis uni
versal eiiitssB service sReRns eas-
sc3ip2Ion Of conscience.

BIG VICTORY FOR
CULINARY WORKERS

After weeks of negotiation which
at times appeared to have reached a
deadlock and after attempts of the
restaurant keepers association to
question the patriotism of the organ
lied culinary workers who demanded
an eight hour day with some slight
increases in wages, the principle de-
mands were granted just prior to a
threatened strike May l, and another
bloodless victory is chalked up to or
ganized labor.
Seattle is the only city in the coun-
try--yes. in the world--having an
eight hour day. and a six day week
for culinary workers, and this applies
to cooks and assistants, mattresses
and walters without exception. Dish
washers and yardmen, who have been
working twelve and thirteen hours
per day will work hereafter but ten
hours with promise Of further
shortening Of the day later on.

PLANS FOR FIRST
DRAFT ON WAY
100000 To BE CalIed-POlice To
Watch Failures to Register.
Heavy Penalty.

Machinery for drafting into the
service the first levy Of 500, 900 men
is being worked out by the war
department. The local electoral sys-
TENS of the townships and precincts
will be utilized for the task of regis
tering and sitting out the exemptions.
Although the details are far from
completion, the system in general
will be as follows:
On day designated by proclama-
ton, probably before September 1. all
the men in the nation between the
ages to be set in the CONSUMPTION bill
will be ordered to visit the polls and
register. Upon registration they
will be given cards designating the
number of the class in which they
will be called for examination.
1t is planned to use the local police
facilities of the townships, villages
and cities to seek out persons who
fail or refuse to register. Under the
bill heavy penalty will be imposed
for failure to register.
Then calls by classes will follow.
AS each class reports the men sub
ject to exemption under the bill
munitions workers, men with depend
ents, men engaged in industries vital
to the military machine and other
classes, such as agricultural workers,
to be fixed by the president-will be
weeded out.
After that the remainder will be
again sifted by physical test and the
unfit rejected. Then another class for
examination will be summoned, and
the process repeated until all the men
of the nation physically fit and sub
Ject to no exemption are determined.
To Choose by Jury Wheel.
1t is believed the jury wheel sys-
tenn to determine the first levy by lot
will be used. The men chosen from
the ranks subject to service will COM
prise the first levy. They will then
await the order to go to the training
camps.
An army of 100000 will eat every
day 100000 pounds of food, $4,000
tons of food per month and every
80 days its own weight in food.

SOCIALIST
SLOGAN. ON EX-
CARS PALACE
May Day in Russia Marks Be-
ginning OF New Era For
the Workers

From the cars winter palace, I'M
til recently the seat of the most auto
cratic of modern governments, a
high sign claims the raising tide of
world democracy.
On the eve of May day, Minister
of War Gutchoff issued an order
striking the last bonds from the army
of new Russia. 1t is with this new
spirit of freedom that Russia will
celebrate Tuesday. The keynote of
the day is struck by the sign strtch-
ing across the front of the palace,
fashioned by the hand of workmen
now knowing the meaning of liberty.
1t reads:
"The Proletariat of All Countries,
Unite"
All Soldiers Citizens.
The orders Used by Minister
Gutchkoff were put forth at the sug-
gestion of the private soldiers them
selves. They provide:
hereafter all soldiers are to be
considered citizens of Russia. (Un-
der autocracy's rule they were not
supposed even to be units of the ma
tion they were supposed to die for.)
Complete religious freedom.
Free speech guaranteed
Attendance at church services not
compulsory.
Mail from trenches shall not be
censored.
All manufacturing pamphlets
shall be delivered to soldiers at the
front.
The servile "sir" abolished in re-
plies by private soldiers to officers.
Hereafter privates shall say merely
Eyes" or mo" in answering officers.
Also, soldiers hereafter need not sa-
lutte their officers unless the soldier
wishes" Privates, however, must
come to attention" when COM
manded to do so.
Corporal punishment in the army
completely abolished.

eous that it must live until this
country will have reached industrial
democracy"
At the conclusion of his talk he
made passionate appeal for acquit-
tai, saying that he had confidence in
the righteousness and the integrity
of the jurors.
Attorney Fred Moore followed as
the second defense speaker. He
stated that the first shot did not
stand any examination at all-that
there were sufficient witnesses who
were not l. w. WIS who testified re-
garding the first shot as coming
from the dock He went into the his
tory of the conspiracy charge, stat
ing that it originated in the Middle
Ages, and that it was always used
against the interests of those who
dared to question the power of the
so-called superior class. 1t was on
ly during the Victorian age that la
Dor wrested from the exploiters the
right to organize, and only within
recent American court decisions la
Dor organizations have been largely
taken out of the purvue of conspir-
acy. He appealed to the jury that
they should not allow themselves to
be persuaded by the literature intro
duced by the state, as its only object
was to prejudice their minds, and
thus get an unjust verdict. He gave
general outline of the case, and
took up point after point showing
where violence was committed at the
instigation and aggression of the
sheriff. He charged the sheriff as
| the aggressor in the entire trouble
and the shooting.
Wants Incorporating Verdict
He hoped that the testimony of
the Pinkerton detectives would not
be relied upon nor taken in good
faith. He stated to the jury that
their verdict would either be an ap.
proval of official violation of human
rights or else it will be the endorse
ment of the right Of the workers to
organize. In his concluding remarks
he begged Of the jury to render an
Incorporating verdict.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Cooley made the closing argument &c
the jury. He dwelt very largely up
on the alleged methods Of the 7. W
VS. and paraded the kilograms thai
were sent by the !. ". W. during ths
free sneech fight. He made an ap
peal for conviction for the sake Oi
the state.

THE RED FLAG FLIES
IN NO MANS LAND

Strange stories are told by the
Russian soldiers from the front of
how the Germans received the news
of Russia's overthrow of autocracy.
One soldier told me of the strang-
est sight he ever saw.
eve have discovered now that the
Germans on our front don't like to
attack u.s." he said. "Under a red
flag last Monday, German officers
climbed out of their trenches. The
German soldiers followed. We didn't
fire. But we likewise hoisted our
red flag. When the Germans saw we
were deliberately withholding our
fire, the soldiers themselves stopped
still and turned back to their own
trenches. They abandonded their Of
ficers. The officers stood there in
No Mans land alone, urging them
to attack, but without avail. Fin
ally they, too, went back-disgusted-
ly. Not a shot had been fired; not
a German soldier harmed in that
death territory. However, we mis-
trust red flags borne by Germans
and Austrians. Now we fire with
all our strength on such approach
ing enemy forces.
ave have proved our right to the
red flag-now let the Germans and
the Austrians prove their right to
it,"

CENSOR MAY BAN
SOCIALIST BOOK
"War-What FOr?" BY Kirk
patrick, Under Fire in House
MAY Come Under
Spy Bill

George Il. Kirkpatrick's anti-mili-
tarist book, "War-What For?" will
be excluded from the United States
mails because Of it's alleged treason
able declarations, according to a
statement made to the House OF
Representatives by Representative
Walsh of Massachusetts, member of
the House committee on the judc-
larry, which is responsible for the Spy
bill.
Representative Walsh announced
the fate of Kirkpatrick's book in
response to question propounded
by Johnson, of Washington, if there
is anything in the world that John
son detests it is Socialist. And If
there is any kind of Socialist that
throws him into frenzy it is the
anti-war Socialist.
Johnson told the house that he
wishes to see treason suppressed in
peace times as well as war times. 81
do not believe" he said, "that man
like Bill Haywood should be permit
ted to stand up in Carnegie Hall in
New York city alongside of Lincoln
Steffens and preach treason or near
treason, as / heard them when it
looked like war with Mexico"
Neither do think the book of
this Indiana Socialist, Kirkpatrick, or
whatever his name, should be per-
mitted to circulate at ALL" The book
has already run into several editions
of over 100000 copies"
Whereupon Representative Walsh,
supposedly speaking for the judiciary
committee, declared:
at will not be circulated through
the mails if this bill becomes a law"
Kirkpatrick's book is an argument
against war in general, and is not
directed against the German war at
all, having been written years before
the present war was declared. There
fore, the statement of member of
the House judiciary committee that
when the press censorship bill be-
comes the law the book will be ex-
cluded from the mails is regarded by
defenders of the rights of freedom
of the press as significant of the
of personal liberty that
the Democratic oligarchs running the
government intend to impose upon
the people.

SECRET SERVICE MEN TAR
HEARINGS MOVEMENTS

CHICAGO.-Spying upon Prof.
Scott Nearing, whose radical views
caused him to be dropped from the
faculty of Toledo university recent
ly, is taking up much of the time
of federal secret service operators
here.
A little while ago, in an address
at the University of Chicago, Near
ing said that following the presi-
dent now would lead to the ruin of
the republic" To the official noses
of the government agents this savors
of sedition. A close tab is being kept
on Professor Meanings movements
and speeches.
