A FREE COUNTRY

Racial discrimination reported to
be practised in the hiring of work
man for any camps and similar
construction jobs is described as
little short of treason to the ideals
upon which the republic is founded"
in letter sent to the secretaries of
the war and navy departments yes
terday by Louis 2. Lochner, execu-
tive secretary of the Peoples Coun-
ell of America. The reported dis
elimination was said by newspaper
reports to have been aimed largely
at Jews. The letter does not pro-
test against distinction between
friendly" and enemy" nationalities.
November 10, 1917"
"Sirs:
81 am directed by the Executive
Committee of the Peoples Council of
America, in monthly meeting as
sembled, to protest against the re-
ported discrimination on racial
grounds of carpenters and other
laborers applying for soldier camp
jobs.
at is a cardinal tenet in the
creed of the Peoples Council of
America that equal treatment and
equal opportunity be accorded all
who live under the Stars and
Stripes. To make invidious dis
elimination at this time, when
Americans of every race are called
upon to die for the sake of making
the world safe for democracy, is
little short of treason to the ideals
upon which this Republic was found
en-.
"On behalf of the members of
the Peoples Council, recruited for
the most part from the ranks of
the toilers, we nemand that the dis
elimination cease"

INTOLERANCE

AS in all ages the predatory in
terests of today seek to destroy ev-
cry agency that tends to enlighten
the people, and tyrany takes the
place of justice. In this age of
marvellous inventions the greatest
genius is devoted to creating more
deadly instruments of murder, and
more fiendish methods for destruc-
ton of life and property. Men are
imprisoned for daring to express
determination to resist being forced
into war, and heralded as traitors
if the question the acts of AFRO
giant rulers. Political mercenaries
hound citizens who demand the right
to regulate their own lives in accord
ance with what they consider right
and proper. Religious hypocrites
whine about their duty to God and
seek the downfall of commercial
rivals. Preachers provide funds with
which to further corrupt weakmind-
ed perverts. Priests continue to
sell absolution from sin, and the
dupes continue to slave for a pit
lance and suffer the pangs of priva-
ton and hunger And still we
brag about our wonderful era of
civilization!

WOMEN IN MACHINE SHOP

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-The Fulton
company has placed more than a
score of women CARRIED in regulation
overalls in its machine shop, and
claims this is necessary because of
the labor shortage. This claim is
undoubtedly true as the company
pays the women Is cents an hour
for a 81 hour week. They are OPP
Grating drill presses and lathes,
while some are learning metal pol
ishing.
Editor Keith, of the Knoxville
Plain Dealer, makes this comment
on the Fulton company's move.
"Much has been said for and
against the feminist movement in
this city. Anti-suffragists and suf-
fragists have talked and written
much about woman's place and mis-
sion in the world, but no one has
seemed to notice this vital move
to the detriment to woman-hood that
has taken place in their own city.
"Who is caring for the little child
rem at home while the mothers are
toiling 10 hours, away from home
in the machine shop for a pittance?
What for the future of these
young girls toiling at a mans task;
why don't some of the talkative re-
formers of this city say something
in behalf of ''These little mothers of
mon to be ?"-W Workers Chronicle.

THE LEGEND OF
PATRIOTISM

A mans patriotism is always
commensurate with the development
of his social consciousness. The
patriarchal household was the first
object of patriotism. Thereby pa
triarchal government, such at it was,
became possible. Men nicked each
guments as to which family was
the best or strongest. But men be-
gan to realize that this resulted in
needless strife and bloodshed; so
the wiser ones began to agitate for
the formation of a tribal organiza
ton embracing all the families in
the neighborhod; these We're, of
course, called "unpatriotic" by the
lesser developed hatchet-men, be-
cause they wanted to subordinate
the family to a larger unit, because
they had vision of a system of
family government that would do
away with strife and bloodshed due
to patriotic family wars. But the
wiser ones prevailed in spite of the
ridicule of the family patriots. The
tribal government was to set up,
and the people developed their pa
triotism to the extent that they APP
piled it to the new system and
and squelched the family spirit.
Those families that could not see
the advantages of the new system
and could n lot lay aside family pride
were easily subjugated or extermin
ated by the larger and stronger
tribes. Thus persisted family pa
triotism. 1t had outlived its use
fullness. Those who still adhered
to it were the atavistic renegades.
But evolution is never at rest.
The now tribal patriots began to
shoot arrows at the men that be-
longed to other tribes, to show their
superiority, and their contempt, or
to voice their patriotic hatred; and
tribal wars followed, one after
the other, because one tribe en-
croached on the hunting grounds Of
another, or because their chiefs were
jealous of each other. Now wise
men came forth again and talked
against making wars on neighbor-
ing tribes because they were brother
men and that it would be better
to unite with them and form a larger
organization. They made little head
way as the tribesmen were tribe
patriotic and called the agitators
"unpatriotic" because they would
subordinate the tribe to bigger and
larger organization. But the wise
ones had a vision of a condition
where may tribes would unite to-
gether and live in peace and har-
mony without wars and bloodshed.
They saw that it was the tribal pa
triotism of their tribesmen that pre-
vented them from accepting the
new idea, so they put aside their
own narrower patriotism and trans
ferred it to the new ideal, the ma
ton including many tribes. For this
they were prosecuted and called I'M
patriotic; but they stood firm, and
continued to agitate until finally the
idea of the nation of many related
tribes took root among the people.
When tribal patriotism was suf-
ficiently broken down, so as to give
room for the new idea to grow, the
first nation was established among
men, to the relief of suffering tribes.
