al this moment preparing 10 launch
against the Allies the sublest. but at

ning Of the downward swing. The col
lapse of Russia leaves the way clear
Only by the cleverest work on the part

blow he parried for il is now practical
Is certain that what Wilhelm H. and
his junkers aim at is nothing less than
enlisting by a crafty stroke. the public
opinion in Allied nations to bring about
what they desire.
And what they desire. in one word
is Peace
such is the meaning of the Russian
debacle
on its face the proposition appears
not only supremely impudent but i'm
possible. In reality it may be very
simple The IntAlectuaIs in Russia

ment il seemed that the new Democ-
racy might ward off the danger then
chaos came and opened wide the door
leaving the great emperor Republic
absolutely at the mercy Of her enemies
and incidentally brought to the Allies
as a whole the greatest danger they
have had to face since the start Of the
war
Before Christmas the Kaiser is al
most sure to pose again as the One
Great Apostle Of Peace He Will try to
bring about the end Of the war at the
expense Of Russia and the Balkans. or
that I am convinced after what
heard in Russia and amongst Scandin-
avian neutrals His offer Of Peace will
be the most velvety thing ever seen. the
cunningest piece OF Machiavelism that
was ever put forth to trap less vary

she has been preparing intensively for

LABOR QUESTION
AROUSES A STIR

The statements made from the plat
form and in the press in regard to the
relations OF w J. Murray to labor in
East Chicago have stirred up consider
able discussion and have induced rep
resentatives Of labor organizations to
take stand ia the matter in order
10 clear themselves from being in any
way involved in the municipal cam
paign.
1t is the desire Of the labor inter
ests to be in perfect harmony with the
incoming administration whatever it
may be. and to that end they wish to
see exact justice done 70 all parties
concerned.
While. according to statements Of
these leaders. is true that the gem
eral contractor who built the Murray
houses is now on the unfair list with
labor and while it is true that all Of
the wiring that has been done on
those houses was done NY a workman
not a union man. yet the explanation
Is made that ct the time the contract
was let with that general contractor
and during the time the houses We're
under construction he was rated fair"
and that as soon as tt was discovered
that non-union man was doing the
wiring he was ordered off the job and
that in consequence only one of those
houses is wired at the present time
and the work on that house is really
unfinished
Mr.. Murray is not blamed by labor
organizations for any conditions that
have developed in connection with the
construction OF his houses. as IS evil
denoed by the signed statement issued
IN the newspapers Of SATURDAY.
