serve the greatest possession of any
nation, its men and women workers.
An Intelligent Protest.
AS an example of the intelligent pro-
test of labor unions against breaking
down safe and sane standards in
America at this time, the following is
quoted from recent statement of the
executive board of the United Mine
Workers of America:
1--WE hold that greater efficiency will
prevail among the workers if the
standards of life and labor desired by
the workers are both established and
maintained. Any lowering of these
standards means reduction in the
productive capacity of the workers
both individually and collectively"
When American workers have been
asked to Sacrifice" the degree of in
dustrial rights which they have so far
attained, they have been asked to sac
rifice something which the nation it
self could not spare. The labor un-
ions, for instance, are trustees of the
welfare and strength of the working
men and women of this nation and of
their children.
Debt to Manual Workers.
They might as well be asked to sac
rifice their health, their honesty, and
their virtue as to be asked to sacri-
fee such economic conditions as con-
serve health and make honesty and
virtue the order of the national life.
This ought to be so plain to every
body that it seems that the super
serviceable servants of big interests,
in and out Of the legislatures, who
have so many times proposed breaking
down these standards have simply got
tho habit Anparant1v thav have
no other idea of self-assertion or of
activity except to pluck something
more from the men and women whose
work supports them. There ought to
be the sharpest kind of scorn, on the
part of the workers with their hands
and of all others who properly ac-
knowledge their debt to manual work
ers, for these short-sighted enemies of
their own countrymen.

RECALL AFFIRMED LW.W. DISTURBERS
AGAIN BUSY IN BUTTE WITH
OUTLAW UNION PLAN.
Bona Eide Organizations Decline to
Recognize Disrupters; Lord and
Walker Try Untangling Mess.

Press reports. from Butte, Mont, in
dicate that the I. w. w. are again be-
coming a disturbing element in the
labor movement there. They have or
ganized what they call the Butte Metal
Miners Union and issued orders for
a strike in the copper mines. Some
three thousand men apparently have
responded to this order.
The trade unions of Butte have re-
fused to recognize the so-called Metal
Mine Workers Union. Joseph Shan
non and William Winchester, who were
prominent in the /. w. w. movement
there three years ago when "Muckie"
Mcdonald and his associates raided the
union hall and later blew it up with
dynamite, have been arrested and are
in jail.
James Lord president of the mining
department of the A. F. of L., and
John Walker, Of the Illinois district,
United Mine Workers of America, and
former president of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor, are in Butte en-
deavoring to untangle the mess. An
effort will be made to rehabilitate the
Butte Miners Union No. / and have
it affiliate with the International Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers Union, for
merly the Western Federation of Min
ers.

By DANTE BARTON.

NEW YORK, June 1s.-Suppose the
United States could legislate for its
enemy during this war, or suppose
American financiers could impose do
mestic policies affecting the people OF
the enemy countries. If the United
States law makers and the United
States financiers felt particularly cruel
and vindictive, their legislation and
their policies in such case, would be
directed against the great body of the
enemy people.
They would try to make the enemy
workers work such long hours and at
such exhausting toll and with such
little leisure that those workers would
be inefficient either for working or for
fighting. They would impose such
conditions upon the women of the
enemy country that those women could
not be strong and capable mothers,
that they could not give the care and
attention to their children which would
make the children the best citizens
and that permanent injury to the en-
emy race would be done thru the tenn
porary injury to the mothers and IA
theirs of the Immediate generation.
Uphold Labor Safeguards.
Such a case is supposed in order to
drive home the wrong and the absurd
ity of all the propositions that have
been advanced by law makers and by
moneyed interests of the United States
to break down the safeguards of the
efficiency and rightful happiness of
American workers, men and women.
If ever there was time when such
safeguards should be upheld and ex..
tended, it is naturally in a time of
national peril and stress.
England, for example, could pos
sibly afford, so far as national exist
ence was concerned, to adopt devil
he-hindermost policy toward the
great mass of the workers when the
English national life was unassailed
from outside. But instantly that Eng
land was assailed from the outside,
she had to amend that careless and alb
solutely undemocratic policy and con-

SOCIALISTS EXPELL RUSSELL
Aliens in Party Rapidly Plunging Or
ganization into Deep Abyss.

Two of the greatest intellectuals in
the Socialist party are out of the or
ganization. John Spargo rendered his
resignation last week, and it was ac-
cepted. He recently visited Denver
and lectured in interest of the Social
ist party.
Charles Edward Russell, who is now
in Russia as a member of the Root
commission, was expelled from the
Socialist party at meeting last Sat
urday night of the central committee
of local New York, which comprises
Manhattan. The vote was AZ to 13.
The technical charge against Mr..
Russell was that he had accepted a
place on the commission without hav-
ing obtained the consent of his party.
The emergency committee of the ma
tional executive committee in session
at Chicago last month sent Mr.. Russell
a communication asking him to decline
President Wilson's appointment. The
committee also repudiated Mr.. Russell
as representing American Socialists.

DECLINE PROFFER
TRAMWAY TRAINMEN REFUSE
MANAGERS PROPOSITION.
Refuse to Attend Meeting Called for
Purpose of Agreeing to New Wage
Scale of 10 Per Cent Increase.

Last week Manager Hid of the Dem
yer Tramway company announced a
10 per cent raise in wages for the
1 800 employees of the company. AS
previously reported in The Bulletin,
the movement of the men to organize
under the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
of America failed when the committee
"fuked" and repudiated it's own call
for meeting. 1t seems, however,
that the employees are not satisfied
with the 10 per cent wage increase
promised, which would amount to
about 3 cents per hour more for the
trainmen. While the barn and shop
men are reported to have accepted the
proposed increase, some 300 trainmen
have refused to do so. Meetings of the
"Tramway Brotherhood" called for the
purpose of having the men register
their approval of the proposed scale
have been failure because the train
men would not attend.
In the meantime Manager Hid has
gone East and the question held in
allegiance until his return. Eventual
ly the Tramway men must realize that
their only safe and sure plan Of secur-
ing and maintaining betterments is
thru bona fide labor union affiliated
with the national association.

JURY SITS
SAN FRANCISCO TRIAL JUDGE
RECOGNIZES NOVEL FEATURE.
Chosen From Various Organizations
to Hear and Weigh Evidence in
the Rena Mooney Trial.
Especial Correspondence.)

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-Tak-
ing of evidence in the trial Of Rena
Mooney, wife of Tom Mooney, indicted
for murder in the preparedness parade
bomb explosion in this city a year
ago when ten lives were lost began
Monday. Mrs. Mooney is charged
specifically with the killing of Mrs.
Myrtle Irene Van Loo. Tom Mooney
is in Jail here under a life sentence,
pending a hearing on appeal to the
supreme court for a new trial.
A novel feature of the present trial
is the sitting of voluntary "labor
jury" in addition to the regular jury
impaneled by the court.
To weigh the evidence fairly and
impartially, to follow the instructions
of the court, and to render a verdict
in strict accordance with the law and
evidence" was the sworn duty of the
"labor jury" which will sit informally
in the case of Mrs. Rena Mooney, on
trial on charge of completely in the
preparedness parade dynamiting. TAX

jury in the case began Monday. Judge

EXTEND TO RAILROAD MEN

The United States supreme court
has extended the operation of the fed
eral hours-of-service act as it affects
railroad trainmen. In the govern
ment's suit to recover penalties from
the Santa Fe railroad because it
worked employees long hours, in vio-
lation of this act, the court ruled that
unavoidable accidents cannot be used
as an excuse by n railroad to ignore
this law where it is possible to relieve
train crew from duty before the end
of the customary run is reached.

WOMEN DEMANDING FREEDOM

"No cause of liberty in foreign lands
is worth the sacrifice of freedom at
home" declared the convention at the
National Women's Trade Union
League, held in Kansas City, in it's
demand that there be no abolition of
free speech, free press and free as
semblage because of the war. The
women insist that no labor standards
in force before the war shall be abro-
gated.

EXCITED JUMPS IN
VALUES OF CORN

CHICAGO, Dec 20.-Excited Jumps
in the value Of corn resulted today
from the lifting Of an embargo on east
bound shipments and because OF ru-
mors that the maximum limit on pri-
ces would be raised with the approval
of the Food Administration. The mar
ket advance. which was accompanied
by a notable broadening out Of trade.
amounted at one time to % bushel
for May delivery. as compared with
yesterdays finnish. Opening quota
lions, which ranged from q to SIC
higher. with January, $1.231s to 1.27&
and May $1.205 to 1926, was followed
by moderate further gains before a
reaction set in. Both December and
January rose to within nc Of the ex-
listing maximum limit.
Oats duplicated the action Of corn.
The greatest upturn, however was
21ac.
Provisions sympathized with the
strength OF cereals. The resulting
gains, though, were not of sweeping
character.
