A WEEK OF DEBATE.
The demand for a Senate debate TO

oepftated by Senator Cummins. OF
Iowa. Soon after the Senate met he
aa3ked Immediate consideration for a
resolution which would authorize dis
custom beginning next Monday, each
Senator TO be limited to one hour.
Senator Stone, chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee, objected
vigorously, declaring that the pres
sure OF business in the Senate pre-
cluded a week OF debate on the peace
situation" He sought 20 have the
resolution referred to his committee,
but 1t was put over for consideration
tomorrow. The resolution after re-
citing the Presidents statement as to
his reasons for addressing the Senate
on the peace subject said:
Whereas, it is impossible for the
senate to take official action upon
these grave matters until the treaties
new plan have been made by the
President and submitted to the SEN
ate for ratification or rejection. and
Whereas, 1t was the obvious OBJ
1ect of the address 10 invite a free
and frank expression from the mem
beers of the Senate for guidance IN
his ariuous work; and.
whereas. the proposals presented
to this body involve the Integrity Of
the nation and the peace of the world.
and II is our hounden duty to advise
the President OF our individual opjn-
ions concerning the undertaking upon
which the country Is asked to embark.
Therefore he II resolved that on
Monday. the twenty ninth day ~ Jan
nary, the said address OF the President
shall he laid before the Senate for
discussion and it's consideration shall
continue 10 the exclusion OF all other
business until each senator shall have
had an opportunity - speak thereon,
but no Senator shall speak more than
once nor more than one hour"
Administration leaders in the Sen
ate declare today that no action by
the Senate in the peace situation was
or desired at this time.

DEAN BELL QUITS
SOCIALIST PARTY
SAYS 1T is TREASONABLE
TO UNITED STATES.
Party Now Under the Leadership of
Misguided Persons Whose German
Nationalism Bulks Larger Than
Worldwide Democracy.

Dean Bell of the Episcopal church,
Fon du Lac. Wis, and n leader in the
Socialist party for many years, has
issued the following statement accom-
panying his resignation from the
party:
My reason for this step is that the
party stands today committed to poll
cies in relation to the war which seem
to me to be not merely reasonable to
the United States, but deadly to the
very thing which all Socialists hope
may come upon this earth-industrial
democracy and internationalism.
"None of these can come until the
present power of the German-Aus-
trian- Turkish confcderacy is humbled
in war which. whatever may have
been the motives of those who i'm
PEELED our country into the conflict,
cannot but bring about, il we are vic
torious, an international situation help
full TO the spread of Socialism for
try and her allies are engaged.
"1n the midst of this war. the So
cialist party, under the leadership of
misguided persons whose German ma
tionalism bulks larger in their minds
and hearts than the international and
democratic ideals of Socialism. has
made such uttcrances as are intoler-
able to me and TO many others who
are Socialists.
"Comrade Gaylord and Simons, two
of Socialism's greatest exponents in
this country, have been expelled from
the party for daring to denounce these
partisan utterances and to protest
against them.
81 wish to join myself to them and
to scores of the Socialists, who, since
the st. Louis manifesto, have with
drawn from the party. I am still n
Socialist, convinced that the capitalist
system of running our common affairs
is unscientifc. foolish and destruc-
tive. / shall still do whatever / can
to forward the cooperative common
wealth. With the Socialist party as
Mt present organized and controlled,
l can have nothing further to do.
Socialism will come, but not thru
the spread Of Hapsburg or Hohenzol-
lcrn kultur."

mittee from Division 662, Street and

an ordinance to the city commissioners
to compel all men who work on the
street cars to have seven days instruc-
ton under competent motorman or

nance and we are waiting to see what
action will be taken on it. This move
was made as safety first precaution
and should be passed by the commits
sioners.

sumed work Monday, June 25, with a
signed contract and all their demands.
These men had been on strike for 252
days, almost nine months. Last

blame it on some of the strikers, how
ever, two of the scabs were arrested
for the act. Now the leader Of the

We hope that we will be able to set a
better example in regard to the rate

Of the three bakeries mentioned. They
referred him TO Stephen Knight, who
has the controlling power over the
bakeries where the men are out on

As in past years their promises to

workers together for conference
but was refused by the firms. Mr.
knight is also president of the Eagle

When the firms refused to meet
them, the striking bakers were COM

is to supply the restaurant trade, for
the cooks and walters are rendering

taken care of, as soon as the necessary

After this there will be no excuse for
