HE MUST NOT HANG

The convictions of Billings and
Mooney are now acknowledged to be
the first step in a huge movement to
wipe out the labor movements Of
America. We have proven both these
brothers to be innocent, but evidence,
facts and lawyers of national reputa-
ton don't count. The business and
professional juries ask, "Have these
men been active in labor organization
and so interfered with legitimate
business ?" Business is always 'legi-
innate and any obstruction to it's
profits always "illegitimate." The
district attorney shouts, labor union
conspiracy" a few times, and the jury
gets its cue. They sit abstractedly
through the trial, and then shout in
unison, "Hang HIM"
We are facing two appeals and
three more trials. Money and pub
licity are badly needed. Coldblooded
murder will be done here in a few
weeks, unless you make emphatic
protest. Tom Mooney is within the
walls Of the death house-that is a
physical fact-and you can stop his
murder The Industrial Relations
Committee reports, in no uncertain
terms; tom Moneys fight, in the
wrongful shadow of the gallows, is
labor's fight, Labor cannot afford to
shirk the duty now facing it. Ii
must demand that the Federal Gov
eminent make a full investigation of
the whole facts of the case. The
people must be informed of the al
most incrediable lengths to which the
enemies Of labor will 20 in order to
beat down labor unioui-m and perse-
cute labor men,"
We cannot afford to see our innno-
cent brothers and sister murdered in
cold blood. If we initiate the solid
arity Of our enemies, we can win.
We must not lose. Can we count on
you? Send a protest to President
Wilson and another to your congress
man and senator. Address them at

SITER IFF CALLED
TO QUELL RIOTS
ON MILK PRICES
Roads Leading Into StOughton,
Wis, Are Blockaded by
Striking Farmers

STOUGHTON, Wis.-Sheriff Ire
land and his deputies are patrolling
the roads about this city to prevent
a renewal Of the war which started
when drivers blockaded the roads
with wagons and ropes and spilled
the contents Of milk cans to stop
shipments to the plants of the Wis
consin Dairy Products company,
Pickets were posted by the local
members Of the Chicago Milk Pro
ducers' association on roads leading
into the city from all directions. They
were blocked so that the normal re
ceipts Of about 10000 pounds were
cut down to 500 or 600 pounds.
One Driver Escapes
One Of the regular drivers sent out
by the milk company escaped the
farmers by flashing his horses and
forcing his way through a crowd of
pickets.
Officers Of the company who went
out through the country in an auto
at one of the crossroads were forced
to speed their car and were followed
by a volley of stones and rifle shots.
1t is understood that evidence was
secured against offending farmers and
they will be prosecuted

REAL PATRIOTS

Following are the list of Senators
and Congressman who are honorabIy
mentioned by this paper for opposing
the United States government war
resolution.
These men and women are the only
real patriots in Washington. They
refused TO plunge fhis country into
war at the behest OF the American
patriots for profit. They refused to
sanction the bloody slaughter. They
refused to be war maniacs. They
refused to trick the American work
ers to the trenches.
Only one among Dem is a Social
list, but we take OIL our hats TO the
whole bunch. They refused to act
blindly even though the workers
elected them blindly Their other
actions in the house may not be in
the interests of the working class but
this one particular action will stand
out in our eyes as the noblest deed
performed by capitalist politicians on
behalf of the working class
Six dissenting Stpators-Ia Fol
lette of Wisconsin, Gronna of North
Dakota, Norris of Nebraska, Lane of
Oregon Stone of Missouri and Vorda-
man Of Mississippi-all of the will

SOCIALISTS WIN
SEVERAL SEATS
Citizens All Over the Country
Endorse Socialists Anti
War Stand

Rolling up more votes
than his three opponents combined
John c. Kennedy, Socialist, was
elected alderman by a plurality Of g.
1877. Charles V. Johnson, Socialist
was elected from the Ninth ward by
a plurality Of 151.
"The increase of more than 20 per
cent in the Socialist vote in Chicago
proves there is a reaction against
war" said Adolph Germer, national
secretary of the Socialist party.
"The old party leaders made it an
issue in this municipal campaign and
the result proves the people are not
war mad.

RALLY ROUND
OLD GLORY
Workers Must Prevent Germany
From Destroying Our
Export Trade

Following is a list of the value of
goods sent abroad from the United
States during the past two and a
half years. Germany's sub warfare
has put slight crimp in this bust
ness so the working class who has
produced this wealth is now requested
to shoulder gun and drive Germany
off the earth, in order that we may
continue the expectation.
1t is n heinious crime to suggest
that this exported wealth should be
kept ut home to feed the American
citizens, As long as we advise the
workers to rally round the dollar
sign of the American Capitalists
everything is O. X
Out Of the ten billion dollars worth
of goods sent abroad from the com
mencement of the war only ABOUT
three billion dollars worth of the
value went into the pockets of the
workers. The other seven billion
dollars worth went into the pockets
Of the capitalists. That being the
case we think it only fair for the
capitalists to do the biggest share of
the fighting. Therefore we suggest
that the workers stay at home and
let the capitalists do the fighting and
when they are all wiped out the
workers can carry on industry and
get the full value of the wealth they
create.

King in Capital

An industrial. depression of great
severity exists in the Argentine Re
public. Over 100000 workingmen are
unemployed and there is wide
spread suffering, which is greatly ia-
tensifed by the unusually high prices
for the ordinary necessaries of life.
In Buenos Aires alone $4,000 build
ing mechanics are out of work, while
thousands of dock workers, farm la
borers and other toilers are also idle

SPAIN SQUELCEIES
WIDE MOVEMENT
BY UNION CHIEFS
Sixteen Labor Leaders Who
Signed Manifesto Are
Placed in Jail

MADRlD-S Strong measures adopt
ed by the Spanish government
checked a widespread agitation which
assumed revolutionary aspect al
though Premier Romanones in a
formal statement declares the gov
eminent refuses to treat with the
movement as revolutionary.
The trouble last week was based
on manifesto signed by 26 heads of
labor organizations reciting griev-
ances of the worEmen, attacking the
government and announcing a general
strike would be inaugurated.
Government Took Fright
The demands for a change in the
form of government was regarded
more serious than the threat of a
strike and the government decided on
drastic measures.
Sixteen of the leaders who signed
the manifesto We're arrested, the labor
exchanges in Madrid and the prov
lnceS were closed and n royal decree
was issued placing the country virtu-
ally under martial law.
King in Capital
At the outset there was much ap-
prehension of eventualities, but it is
now believed the movement has been
entirely broken up.
King Alphonso remained in the
capital throughout the agitation and
is reported to have told his advisers
there would be no repetition of the
experience of his cousin Nicholas in
Russia, as he would go to the head of
the troops if necessary and share fate
with them.

RABBITS FOR MEAT SUPPL !

Rabbits. which have proved q yalu- abe source of food in Europe during the present war. may well be raised more extensively in America by way Of reducing the drain on the ordinary meat supply. according to biologists Of the United States Department of Agri. culture The business of growing rab- bits, the specialists point out, can be carried on by youths and adults not engaged in military or other national service or in regular industrial en- ployment The animals may be rais- ed in back yards or cities and towns as we'll on farms.
 The Belgian hare. says a statement by the department, breeds rapidly. ma lures quickly, and produces palatahle and highly nutritious meat. The cost of production is less than that of any other meat, not excepting poultry
 The department has published a bull letin on raising rabbits which will be helpful to those who wish to engage in this pursuit.
