ITALY REPORTS FOE IS UNABLE

Rome, November 19-"The enemy
is unable to advance anywhere" was
the report issued from the war office
today.
"On the palms." the statement con-
tinued, "our vigilance stopped the
enemy from renewing his attempt to
cross the Piave.
Around Mts. Tonberecar and Ba-
denesche violent concentrations of ar
tillery prevent our counter-attacks.
Around Asiago, in new offensives,
we occupied advanced enemy trench
es, taking 60 officers and POP men
prisoners.
"Southward of Quero numerous
enemy forces are attacking Mts. Mon
ifenera and Tomba."
( Battle front descriptions thrilled
Rome today with heroic narratives
, of the Italian defense. In the noun
,ains the fighting is over slippery
! snow-covered rocks and crags or cen
rering about the peaks of the Alps.
Along the river Piave the stream
itself has been dyed in the blood OF
lighting men. The enemy's losses
have been staggering.

MIGHTY INTERESTIN' READIN'.

If you have not read the booklet issued by the
Legislative Board Of the Railroad Brotherhoods COW
crng the work Of the recent legislature get COPY
at once.
The booklet offers some valuable information as
to how business is done in legislative halls also how
some things done outside and in the obbies that
the general public does not hear about It is issued un-
der the direction of W. w. Royster representing the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; c.. f. Fitz-
gerald, Order Of Railway Conductors r. E. Till
quist, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firenien and En-
gincmen, and P. j. Collins, Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen
''When consider the records from session to
session, says the report of the Railroad men, land
how little is accomplished in the interest of or
ganized labor, it is somewhat disheartening and SO
it will always remain until labor realizes the
sity for concerted action on a definite program AS
long as the workers are satisfied with the struggle
on the industrial field and their gains thwarted
state, they will remain where they are. They must
understand that laws must of necessity reflect
mic Interest,"
Then follows interesting review of what the
farmers in North Dakota have been able to accom-
plish since the organization of the Non-partisan
League and urges the workers of Minnesota to study
the work of the farmers with view to emulating
their example in matters of legislation.
'Then,' the report continues, ''labor will not
have to petition for the passage of such laws as they
desire.
Capitalists know no party They get what they
want from Democrats and Republicans alike. They

WOMEN AT WORK.

A countrywide campai gn for industrial safety
IN war time is being conducted part Of the war
service program Of the National American Woman
Suffrage association In letter to the chamber Of
commerce Of 500 cities Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait,
president of the national association, who is also
member of the newly appointed woman's advisory
committee Of the council of national defense, has
asked for the cooperation of the trade bodies to
secure reasonable working hours and equal pay for
equal work for the women who take mems places
in business Offices factories and other occupations
The letter urges that "the work performed not the
sex Of the worker, should determine the pay,' and
states that We recognize also the unfairness to NEIL
and the injury to industrial standards in general
sultng from the competition of low-paid women

take men places III the emergency have like
wise to bear men burdens in the support of their
families
The association is calling upon it's state and local
branches all over the country, with membership
of 100000 women to take up this form of national
defense in addition to the rest of their war SERVICE
Vigilance committees Of suffra gists are to be ap-
pointed in every industrial locality to inform them
selves to the working conditions in local plants

THE SINGLE TAX.

TO the Editor OF the Labor World:
Henry George said: Poverty is
deel est where wealth most abounds,"
also, mo man, I think, ever saw
herd of buffalo, Of which a few were
fat and the great majority lean. No
man ever saw a flock of birds, Of
which two or three were swimming in
grease, and the others all skin and
bone. Nor in savage life is there any,
thing like the poverty that testers in
our civilization
The foregoing is very significant.
The nearer one gets to the domination
of selfish man the fewer we'll condi-
toned, and the more poorly condi-
toned individuals will be found. The
rich and their tools in legislative halls
have gradually taken the opportuni-
ties from the poor by legal means.
One evil has brought on another till
the weaker's power has become we'll
nigh useless thru diffusion.
The oppressed must combine and
regain their rights. Perhaps no one
thing has been more productive of evil
to the great majority than the present
method of distributing public burdens,
and to correct this great wrong is the
object of the single tax
If anyone does not understand the
economic value Of the single tax, he
should not condemn it. On the con-
trary, he should hear someone explain
it, then study it himself and discuss
it with others. He will soon realize
the vast benefits it's realization will
bring.
The Single Tax League of Duluth
stands ready at all times to furnish
free literature to anyone for the ask
ing, and speakers free of charge to
address meetings when distance will
permit. Ask for information.

HOW LABOR CONTRIBUTES
TO THE COMMON GOOD
BY REV. CHARLES sTELZLE.

What should be our relationship to
the other fellow?
This is the sum and substance of
the social question. There was time
when some men--the so-called privi-
legged classes-believed that the rest
of the world was created for their spe-
cial benefit. All others were made
soft and easy.
But even most Of these have seen a
great light. They discovered that the
"clods" were capable of better things,
so they began to "help" them on to
the higher things of life. Amazing
was the degree to which 'the man
with the hoe" could attain, when he
was given half a chance. That he
could hold his own with the best of
those who formerly regarded them-
selves as of superior clay, of ''bluer''
blood, of finer grain, was discovery
which came as a great surprise.
Be it said to the credit of most of
the helpers" they welcomed the reve-
lation that the common people were
made of the same material that they
were-that their ideals OF life, their
heart-hungers, their sorrows and their
griefs, their loves and their joys, were
very much like their own. All the
more willing were they to give their
lives in service in behalf of their
more unfortunately situated neigh
bors.
But now we're ready for another
step in advance. It was fine thing.
to help the man who was so ready to
help himself, or even the chap who
didn't. It was aeChrist-like thing to
bear the burdens of those who were
heavy laden. There will always be
such in the world. Misfortune and
accident, the lack Of opportunity on
account of physical disability or ILL
ness, and a. good many other things,
will always leave in our midst those
who should be given a helping hand.
However, the normal man, be he
rich or poor, educated through books
or through experience, be he black or
white, yellow or red, no matter what
his circumstances-sol long as he's a
man who is doing a mans job in the
world, is "helping'' the other fellow in
a way which is rarely appreciated.
The poorest man in the world, who is
doing his best, is rendering a real
service to the richest man in the
world. He is making a contribution
to the worlds work which mere wages
do not repay.
Even the despised immigrant who
doesn't understand word Of English,
but who is contributing his share to
the common good by shovelling dirt in
a construction camp, is making a
debtor of the man who will later ride
over that railroad track in his COM
Portable Pullman, made smoth-run-
ming because that italian made a good
job of his shovelling. But everywhere
in human life, in the lowliest places,
in shop and factory, on the street and
on the road, everywhere-men and
women and even little children are
bringing their contribution to the
great treasure-house to which we all
come and freely draw-some more,
some less; but he who draws most, be-
coming the greatest debtor to all man.
| kind.
Therefore, let's talk less about
| "helping," about SERVICE and let's
| think more about "exchange"-for
that's what it is-the exchange OF the
| service that each renders for the
| other.
