tion from Birmingham Union No. 1O4,
and Otto F. Thum, father of the Den

the best joy-ride of our more or less
eventful career, and not a single point
of interest along the 75-mile route
was overlooked, all being appropriately
described at length by our good friend
Otto In the evening this party formed

had something to do with expediting

and the delegates thousands of dol

fit condition. There have been more
and better national conventions in
Colorado since the state went dry"
than before during like period. Every
hotel in the state has been crowded to
capacity this summer, and the old cry
that "lick-up bars" were the magnet
for conventions has proven quite the
contrary. Convention delegates prefer
to go where they can meet up with
decent people under decent conditions.

WI L. MORRISSEY, deputy state
w. labor commissioner, will be in
Galesburg, Ill, Labor Day, when
monument commemorating the life
and service to labor of his late dis
tinguished brother, p H. Morrissey,
is to be unveiled. The monument is
being erected by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, of which the de-
ceased was the founder and chief for
so many years. Tho for three years
previous to his death, p H. Morrissey
held a high official position with the
railroad companies, the boys on the
line remembered him as the man who
built up the great brotherhood, and
have testified to this fond remem-
brance by erecting over his grave
shaft of unperishable marble.

WORKERS ARE DEMANDING DIRECT
REPRESENTATION IN WAR INDUSTRIES
CONTINUED From Page one)

with the president would be only
natural.
Senator King of Utah, corporation
lawyer who has succeeded former Sen
ator Sutherland, one of the promoters
of the seamen's act, has introduced a
bill proposing to make 1t illegal to
"advise, counsel, persuade, or incite,
or utter words or statements which
shall tend to persuade or incite any
person to break any contract with the
government of the United States, or
to break any contract which has to
do with the production, fabrication,
manufacture, or transportation of any
article, commodity, or thing for the
United States"
That language seems to forbid every
kind of strike, or preparation for
strike, in the war industries. King
claims that it will affect only the
l. w. w.
War On the Wabblies.
S -nator Myers of Montana has in
troduced bill almost as badly anti
labor in character, and Senator Walsh
of the same state is also trying to
draft a bill which will "stamp out the
l. w. W." Labor officials insist that
no legislation be passed which will
infringe the right to strike, and to
agitate for better conditions in in
dustry.
Senator Hollis, who will run for re-
election in New Hampshire next year
as a pro-labor Democrat, has joined
in the war on the l. w. w, by prom
Using to draft bill which will make
their activities impossible. At the
same time he gives his pledge that he
will Introduce no measure on this
subject with which the regular trade
union men are not in harmony" With
that end in view, he is to consult with
Mr.. Gompers. Probably the latter
will tell him, as he has told President
Wilson, that the way to stamp out the
|. w. w. is to raise the standards of
labor in the war industries. If war
were given only to firms pay
ing living wage and holding to the
eight-hour day, there would be no
/. w. w. panic.
Labor Crisis in England.
Diplomats in Washington, and all of
the government officials and members
of congress who take any interest in
the prospect of an ending of the war,
are worried over the labor crisis in
England with reference to the Stock
holm labor conference. Samuel Com
pers is in constant correspondence, by
letter and cable, with General Secre-
tary Appleton of the British Fedora
ton of Trades Unions, and with the
labor officials of France. He shares
with the diplomats and congressman
the anxiety of the time.
Two principal questions are to be
answered.: Will this conference, under
the Craftsmanship of the president of
the Russian council of workmen's and
soldiers delegates, create a new world
wide grouping of the forces of the
wage workers? Will it, regardless of
the creation of such working class

ARE WOMEN DELIGHTED?

A Philadelphia newspaper prints a
first-page story, embellished with
large pictures, of 200 women employ
ed in the machine shops of the Gen
eral Electric company.
This is how the newspaper attempts
to make the public forget its former
preachments that "women's place is in
the homes:
ALREADY pretty girls and capable
matrons are at work on the spacious
floors of the General Electric com
pany, operating lathes, running the
drill punches with a will, all of them
neat and trim in the new masculine
uniforms, all feminine in spite of the
trousered legs.
"Blue chambray is the chosen ma
terial; little Dutch caps keep back fly
ing hair from the whirring wheels;
white feet and ankles showing beneath
the full gathered trousers complete
the effect of the woman there for
business, but still very much
woman"
Company officials are quoted as say
ing that women will be employed en-
tirely, "except for such machine work
that is too heavy for any except
man."
1t is intended that the public will
accept new conditions because the
women are pictured as being "per-
fectly delighted" with their new over
alls. This uniform, the newspaper as
sures us, "retains woman's femininity"
in the greasy, thunderous machine
shop.

WHEN in Washington few weeks

WHEN in Washington a few weeks
w ago the o. p called on his young
friend and former colleague in
the Georgia legislature, Congressman
William Schley Howard, who now SO
efficiently represents the Atlanta dis
trict in the lower house of the greatest
legislative body in the world. Howard
nifty, that of mayor of the District of
Columbia" As chairman of the Dis
trict subcommittee of the house ap-
preparations committee he will control
all federal appropriations for the mu-
nicipal government of Washington,
and is the big man there so far as To-
cal interests are concerned. Among
the things Congressman Howard told
the o. P. he intended to do was raise
the wages of the poorer paid municipal
employees, and abolish some of the pol
itical sinecures. Howard is consist
ent friend of the laboring man, and
his vote on labor measures is always
on the right side, tho not laboring
man himself in the accepted sense.
While in his office a constituent
brought in two Georgia watermelons,
which were Immediately converted
into feast. This was treat, indeed,
and one of the most enjoyable Incl
dents of our visit to the national
capital.
CLARENCE DARROW of Chicago,
the noted labor attorney, was a
Denver visitor this week. For
some time he was one of the most
pronounced pacifists in the country,
and opposed everything that smacked
of war. But Darrow has severed his
relations with the pacifist crowd and
now declares himself for war until the
kaiser is driven off the map. "When
the kaiser is beaten, then is the time
to talk peace, and not before. / found
my pacifst theories did not fit with
the facts, so unlike most pacifists, |
have decided to accept the facts and
modify my theories. l will be for
peace again-after the kaiser is licked
This war" he continued, "has become
war for preserving civilization. 1t
is a war against the most medieval
autocratic government on the face OF
the globe"

ments to adopt the Russian peace
terms?
Everyone in England, outside of la
Dor circles, apparently, was surprised
when the British labor party voted to
send delegates to Stockholm, and when
Arthur Henderson left the cabinet.
Word reaching Washington is that
Henderson is more popular since his
Russian governments statement, re-
futing the Lloyd George claim that
Kerensky was opposed to the Stock
holm conference, has made the Labor
party more confident This incident
raises question as to what the COM
