CHICKENS COME
HOME TO BOOST

.
A few short months ago the chiefs
of the railroad Brotherhoods marked
time while the President of the Unit
ed States persuaded the Congress of
the United States to grant certain
demands. The threat that failure to
comply with the Brotherhood de-
mands meant a country wide strike.
President Wilson, the election pend
ing, feared the Brotherhoods and
feared . strike. Within the time lin
tied he secured the legislation de-
handed.
Tuesday, william D. Haywood
secretary of the Industrial Workers
of the World. known to fame as a
ruffian and murderer. warned the
same President Of the United States
that unless certain things were done
Immediately a general strike would
occur throughout the middle west.
The surrender Of the President on a
former occasion undoubtedly eneour-
aged Haywood to make his threat.
Thus chickens come home TO roost
We are not much frightened BY
Haywood's threat. We do not believe
that his particular kind Of workers

/ would never have thought Of making
such a threat IL the former threa

 in the Face.
TALKS ON PEACE TERMS

BERLIN, Sept. 22-Editor Max milan Harden, featuring here, said that peace was attainable this year if Germany promised to waive the right to rule Belgium.

Practically Asserts the Nation Ready for Peace but Germany Must
 Be Dictator.
ARBITRATION IS NEEDED
Imperial Government Is Cognizant of Moral
 Power of Right
 Versus Arms.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 22-Accord- ing to official advices received here, Germany and Austria have replied to the peace proposals recently made by the Pope.
 The German reply to the propos- als declares that special measures have been taken by the Imperial government to get in closest con- tact with the representatives of the German people to discuss and an swer suitably the various proposed terms. This proves how earnestly Germany desires to find a practical basis, a just and lasting peace, continues the reply.
 The reply states that Germany fully recognizes the high effects of arbitration to decide the interna- tional differences and opines that Germany is ready to support every proposal compatible with the ivtal interests of the German Empire and her people,
 The people of Germany, says the reply, greets with special sympa- thy the leading idea wherein the Pope expresses and convinces that the future material power of arms must be superseded by the moral power of right.
 Austria's Reply.
 Emperor Charles, of Austria, is sanguine of a peace provided the belligerents would get together and then discuss the Pope's proposals The most startling suggestion in the Emperor's reply is that the free- dom of the seas must be establish ed, he coinciding emphatically on that point with President Wilson of the United States.
