face of all mother countries, or coun-
tries which call themselves mothers,

and she was always most liberal with

Labor has made wonderful progress
the last year. Women especially are
becoming more prominent on the in
dustrial field. They have been placed
in shops and factories where men
have left to enlist in the army. II is
to be hoped that these women taking
the places of the men will demand
equal pay for equal work Let us
teach them from our experience the
value of organization and collective
action. in order that n standard wage
may be maintained. And il is not only
necessary to educate these women en-
ployed in the shops and factories, but
auSiliaries to every craft should be
formed in order that the mother, wife,
daughter and sister of every union
man will cooperate in boosting and
patronizing union labeled products,
the stamp that proves beyond doubt
that the article has been manufactured
under fair conditions to organized
labor.
Statistics prove that eighty-five per
cent of the commodities sold at retail
are purchased by women. And only
ten per cent of the goods manufactured
are produced under conditions that
are favorable to organized labor. Do
you not think there is n lot of val
liable material going to waste when
the women are not given the oppor-
tunity of education which an auxiliary
would supply, and that they could and
would be of valuable assistance in
boosting and demanding union labeled
commodities if they only understood
that il meant better conditions and n
better wage for all who labor?
Women as rule are enthusiastic
boosters, and an auxiliary to your
craft would prove beneficial in many
ways. Not only the social side which
they would promote, of bringing your
members together and creating
closer fellowship, and greater frater-

way to abolish it is by making the
present scheme of classes untenable
by making it Improbable. For this
reason they preach sabotage.
Their opposition to the government
arises from their doctrine of direct
rather than political action. They
would not seek labor reforms, or the
abolition of capital, by the slow and
conservative method of legislation, but
instead look forward to the day
when levee en- masse, or universal
uprising of labor will overthrow the
constituted government and enthrone
the laboring classes. And it is be-
cause they believe that the present
crisis of our government furnishes the
psychological moment for this uni
versal uprising that the recent wide
spread disorders, and the talk of a
revolution of labor, have some to pass.
In short, the /. W. W. feels that the
time is now ripe for the overthrow of
the government, and simultaneously
the abolition of capitalism and the
paramounting of labor. 1t is felt that
with the dissensions and the troubles
inevitably incident to the waging of
war by a democracy the government
is now weaker than it has been at any
time since the inception of the l. w.
w, and that, hence, there can be no
more opportune time to be selected for
its overthrow. For this reason, re-
sistance to the draft is being preached
and strikes and revolutions are being
fomented.
In effect, this is anarchy; and it is
to be hoped that the government, sup
ported by the overwhelming majority
of the people, and by the loyal labor of
the country, headed by Mr.. Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor,
which has already pledged its CO.
operation to the nation, will not toier-
ate it. We must not be misled by our
veneration of freedom of speech into
such toleration. There is room for
constructive criticism always, and in
peace times there is perhaps some
gain to be extracted even from de-
structive criticism. But that this same
condition prevails in war times is,
or should be, an egregious misassump-
ton. Particularly does this apply to

The Russian council of workmen's
and soldiers deputies gives prominent
place in its widely published peace
program to the demand that the allied
nations shall require from the enemy
nations neither "'indemnities" nor IAN
nexations of territory"
The phrase, mo indemnities and no
anneNations" has been seized upon by
all the peace-at-any-price pacifists,
German sympathizers, anarchists, syn
dicalists, and other opponents of the
nations war policy and made the basis
of a very plausible appeal to the DEM
ocratic sentiments of the American
people.
Wisely relying upon the generous
impulses of the laboring masses, the
leaders of this propaganda have ad-
dressed themselves to the sympathy
of the toilers for the toilers of the
enemy countries, saying:
If indemnities are imposed upon
Germany the burden will fall on the
German working people, who did not
make the war. 1t will not fall upon
the capitalists and military masters
of Germany. Moreover, no advan-
tage will accrue to the toilers of any
of the allied nations, not even of
Belgium. Only the capitalists of the
conquering nations will gain any
thing"
Use the Same Terms.
Sometimes the phrase is qualified
as though its users were ashamed of
the original formulation, and we are
told that there must be mo punitive
indemnities and no forcible annex
ations." Close observation soon re-
veals the fact that the change in

The Argument For Liberal Purchas

The Argument For Liberal Purchases.
To the Editor of the Herald:
Various persons actuated by the best of
motives are advising their fellow-citizens
to change their ordinary course of life and
to practice rigorous economy. For exam
pie, it is suggested that women should
should in other ways curtail their normal
expenditure. The result is felt at every
store in Boston. Is this advice sound?
A leading manufacturer of New England
said some years ago that if every woman
in the United States were to buy one less
calico dress a year than usual it would
stop every print works in the country.
Such economy as is proposed must result
in throwing out of work operatives in
mills, clerks in department stores and
large numbers of other men, women and
children who are engaged in making and
distributing the goods for which it is pro-
posed to destroy or very much curtail the
market. Such policy of retrenchment
will create artificial hard times with all
their consequent unemployment and add
enormously and unnecessarily to the diff
ficulties of our situation.
Many think that handsome lace is an
unjustifiable extravaganza, but if they
were to see how many poor women earn
their living in Italy, in Belgium, in Ire
land and elsewhere by making it and that
to destroy the market for it would result
in turning many self-supporting and self
respecting persons into objects of charity,
their view would be changed. These lace
workers have a right to live and since
they must receive money enough to sup
port them, is it not better to take for that
money what they can offer in return than
to give it as aims? There are plenty of
persons now needing clothes in every
war-stricken country. Would it not be
better for our women to give them the
old clothes and buy new ones rather than
stop the industries of our country?
The income of a nation is not money.
1t is what the people produce, the wheat,
the corn, the coal, the manufactured
goods. The money is merely the meas
ure of value, the tool which makes the
ton is prosperous when everyone is en-
ployed and money circulates freely. We
only create adversely when we stop this
circulation and throw our fellow-citizens
out of work. We do not economic, we
simply reduce the national income and
change producers into beggars.
We are about to face tremendous de-
mand on this income, with curtailment
of producers due to our proposed large
army. All the forces of the nation should
be bent now toward increasing this in
come. We should increase efficiency in
the production and distribution of food,
coal and goods and avoid waste, but as
nearly as possible carry on our lives as
usual, sure that the gradual demand for
the new commodities of war and the con-
sequent shifting of hands from one work
to another will 60 on without the newt
able hardship which must be produced if
the expenditure of the nation is suddenly
curtailed. -Moorfield Storey in Boston

Aircraft Con truction.

The Council of National Defense has
announced the creation of an aircraft pro-
ductlon board, to be headed by Howard E.
Coffin.
This step, according to Mr.. Coffin,
marks the completion of plans to turn
out IN American factories about 8, 500 air
machines this year and double the output
next year. They will include both train
ing and battle types. The establishment
OF schools and training fields is also plan
ned, with sufficient capacity not only to
man these machines, but to supply a
constant stream of aviators and mechan-
les to the American forces in Europe.
This means the education of 5000 avi-
ators this year.
Under the auspices of six of the ma
tons leading engineering schools cadets
are already under preliminary training
for the American military air service, and
negotiations for three of the nine training
field now contemplated have been ap-
proved by the war department. Their
preparation will begin Immediately.
