THE PEOPLES COUNCIL

"a Movement Mothered By Amer
lean Common Sense by Max East
man, editor of The Masses.)
The Peoples Council bodies the
anti-war movement in the United
States, and that is destined to be
the biggest anti-war movement that
ever arose in war time in any coun-
try in the worlds history.
The Peoples Council will not be
composed of pacifists or Socialists, or
any other special kind of people. 1t
will be composed of all those clear
headed common sense American, who,
while they are ready to defend their
homes from attack, arenet, and new
er have been, and never will be in
favor of shipping our healthiest boys
across the ocean to be slaughtered in
European battles whose outcome they
have nothing to do with.
There is no Pro-Germanism in this.
There is no ro-Britishism either, and
that is more than some Of the war
shouters can say. 1t is American
common sense.
And if there is a strong slant to-
wards InternatiOnalism in it - the
kind of internationalism, Woodrow
Wilson himself was preaching last
January-that too is only American
common sense applied to world prob
lens.
The Peoples Council is going to
be the popular movement among the
plain people-the working people, the
farmers, the tradesmen who sweat at
their own trade. The only class that
will really like this war after it gets
going, is the leisure class to whom
war is a form Of sport. They are so
hard up for something to do, some
thing to cOnsecrate themselves to,
without soiling their hands in use
full labor, that they are perfectly
willing to do murder on a grand scale
for purposes that cannot be explain
ed. and it is favor of a democracy
that is about all. And that is the
mood Of the main body Of the Amer
lean people.
Watch our membership grow for
one day, and you will be convinced
of the truth Of this statemeilt,"'"
Note-Any organization endorsing
the platform Of the Peoples Council
| is entitled to representation iii the
| Constituent Assembly Of that cOun-
ell which is to be formed at a meet
ing to be held in Minneapolis, Sep
TENDER 10 The platform demands,
among other things an early, general
and democratic peace according to
the Russian formula justice for con
scientious DIRECTORS the extension OF
democracy at home, repeal of the
conscription law and maintenance OF
labor standards during war time.

SUCH 4 LOT OF DEVILS

Tune-Portland County Jail
Fifty thousand lumberjacks, fifty
thousand packs,
Fifty thousand dirty rolls of blankets
on their backs,
Fifty thousand minds made up to
strike and strike like men;
For fifty years they've packed" a
bed, but never will again.
Fifty thousand wooden hunks full of
things that crawl;
Fifty thousand restless men have left
them once for all.
One byf~one they dared not say, Fat,
lhe hours are long"
If they did they'd hike-but now
they're fifty thousand strong.
Fatty Rich, we know you're game,
know your pride is pricked.
Say-but why not be man, and
own when you are licked?
They've joined the One Big Union
Gee. For goodness sake, "get
WISE"
The more you try to buck them now
the more they organize.
Take a tip and start right in-plan
some cozy rooms,
Six or eight spring beds in each,
with towels, sheets and
brooms;
Shower baths for men who work
keeps them well and fit.
A laundry, too, and drying room,
would help little bit.
Get some dishes, white and clean;
good pure food to eat.
See that cook has help enough to
keep the table neat
Tap the bell for eight hours work;
treat the boys like men.
And fifty thousand lumberjacks may
come to work again.
Men who work should be we'll paid
A mans a man for a that
Many a man has home to keep,
same as yourself, Old Fat.
Mothers, sisters, sweethearts, wives,
children, too, galore,
Stand behind the men to win this
bread and butter war.
Chorus:
"Such lot of DEVILS" that's what
the papers say
They've gone on strike for shorter
hours and some increase in
pay,
They left the camps, the lazy tramps,
they all walked out as one;
They say they'll win the strike or
put the bosses on the bum"
