interesting metieng Tuesday evening at
Aakers hall. Mrs. o. s. Hadefand led
the devotional service, after which Rev.
Mr.. Ford spoke on Our Duty AS Chris
tian Citizens, advocating q balanced
life for both the individual and the
community. Mrs. r. NJ. Pollock, one of
the most ardent peace advocates here

and said that the w. G. r. u. had al
ways stood for peace and arbitration;

with prayer. Hostesses were Mrs. o. J.

ITALIANS TIRED OF WAR;
TOSEEK PEOPLES PEACE

That the present war is unpopular
in Italy and that peace cannot be
long delayed are among the most
salient statements made in a joint
proclamation issued in Rome by
three of the most important Social
list groups of Italy. Despite the rigid
strongly anti-militaristic and de-
mands disarmament, has been
struggled through and was received
The board of directors of the Ital-
ian Socialist party, the Socialist Par
liamentary group and the General
Federation Of Labor issued the man
ifesto. 1t follows in substance:
Peace is inevitably coming, after
the long, terrible struggle which for
more than tire years, has been hold
ing civilization back and sealed the
fate of the political regimes that
caused it, The hour is coming in
which the whole responsibility will
be laid before the high court of
history. After the long and cruel
devastation, period Of readjustment
of social life is unavoidable, and
the introduction of new social and
political conditions is predicted.
Feeling Is Widespread
The feeling has spread beyond our
own party that it is absolutely nee
essary that the terrific experience
we have had will bring US at least
the firm will to prevent the scourage
from breaking out again in the near
future. The magnificent advent of
the Russian revolution, added to all
these facts, shows the Socialist par
ties in general-especially for the
Italian Socialist party-that, even
in these troubled times, they should
be faithful to the great principle of
class struggle and international SOL
idarity on the part of the proletarat;
they should reaffirm and put for
ward such plans, out of their pro-
gram, that are Immediately needed,
in view of the fact that peace is
coming, and also to attend to such
measures as are to be adopted i'm
mediately after war is ended.
Since peace is coming, the Italian
Socialist Party must reaffirm its i'm

mutable and basic principles in the
matter of international policy, prin-
ciples which were reasserted in the
middle Of the war-and in spite of 1t
at the historic convention of Zim-
merwald.
That is why our party proclaims
the necessity of peace not only
without forcible annexation, but also
respectful Of autonomy for all,
which leaves to each people the Sc
lection of it's own grouping, which,
together with international control
of the channels and all other points
of confidence of human races, and
with the most absolute freedom of
the seas, will suppress the most i'm
mediate causes Of conflict in the
future.
Taking into account, furthermore,
that the existence of various kinds
Of militarism, protectionism, the lack
of a stable organization for the rap
proachment of nations-facts which,
besides impoverishing the masses for
the benefit of privileged classes and
artificially created parasites help to
a great extent to separate the peo-
pies from each other-make the con-
trasts between countries more mark
ed, and prevent reasonable adjust
ment of their differences. 1t is,
therefore, necessary to take action
as to the following points:
(a) The immediate and simultan-
eous disarmament of every state.
(b) The suppression of barriers
created by customs house duties.
(c) The establishment of judi
cial federation, formed by all civil
lied countries.
Proletariat Must Dominate
Such aims, however, without which
no durable, real and just peace can
be expected, will not be attained, or
if attained, will soon be misapplied
and frustrated if the proletariat -
which is the only class truly and
deeply interested in the suppression
of all cause for armed conflicts be-
tween countries have not the
strength, ability and will to make
them effective and put them actually
in force.

FEELING AGAINST DRAFT
BECOMING BITTER

MONTREAL-Sig multiply that
the struggle here against conscrip-
ton will be bitter. Tuesday over
$4,000 people who had assembled to
hear the mayor reiterate his views
against CONSUMPTION turned and
mobbed Colonel Rexford when he de-
nounced as false allegations made
by Alphonse Serville, the Labor M.
p, reflecting unpleasantly upon the
Canadian soldiers now in England
While this demonstration was in
progress in Montreal, P. E. Blondin
who recently resigned as postmaster
general and enlisted to form a
French Canadian brigade, was the
object of an attack on a ferry boat
below Quebec City. The steamboat
officials had to protect him from the
mob abroad, and on landing, it was
with difficulty that he escaped from
thee rowd.
Make Fight on Draft
Mederic Martin, Montreal, and
Armand Lavergne, Quebec, are both
making continuous appeal to the
public to resist service abroad. La
vergne told a Quebec crowd that
theb est way to fight the government
and prevent CONSUMPTION was to
withdraw their savings from the
banks. Many acted on the sug-
gestion with the result that there
was steady drain on the banks in
the country districts, people with
drawing in many instances the saw
ings of years.

WE'LL STICK

"Well stick" seems to be the
motto of the single and lumber
workers now on strike in the Paci-
fic Northwest. Seventy-five per cent
of the camps and mills are closed
down and the balance are either
running in a crippled condition or
have granted the eight hours. The
British Columbia workers have join
ed in the strike for the eight hour
day, and among these are a great
number of Hindus and Chinese, and
they say they'll stick also.
There is hardly a square mile of
territory in the lumber districts of
the Coast that is not affected. Re-
markedly big meetings are being
held all over the territory and there
is not enough speakers to supply
the needs.
The |. w. w. who are handling
the lumber strike have the situa-
ton well in hand. The Single
Weavers' Union, who are handling
the single weavers' strike, seems
to have been captured by the |. w.
w. and the two organizations have
many wordy scraps
The bosses are trying to smile
away the gloomy feeling that they
have but the odds against them are
too great and it cannot be but a
short time ere rhey will capitulate.

NASSAU COUNTY
FLUTES FEAR A
PROPERTY INVASION

In Nassau County, N. Y, the rich
men are banding together to preserve
their property against invasion and
riots under the protection of Phineas
A. Seamen, sheriff.
In all the rich villas and clubs
of that section the nightly CONVEX
sations of the men of wealth is on
how best to protect their riches.
One of the proclamations which they
have issued reads as follows:
A Proclamation of Law and Order
The sheriff's reserves of Nassau
county have been formed for the
preservation of law and order.
Prominent men in all localities
have been sworn in as special dep
uties, fully armed, equipped and
drilled, to suppress disturbances of
any kind.
In case of emergency the entire
force of Nassau county will be mob
ilized by motor cars at any given
point.
All persons are expected to give
their cooperation in this work to
preserve law and order
If they had the organization and
funds similar organization of work
ingmen on foot might be formed also
to preserve the law and order, al
thought they might have some diff
ficulty in finding the motor cars to
take them around. Anyway, the
only workinmen to be found in Mas
sau seem to be too busy waiting on
tables, cooking, gardening and clean
ig the shoes of the protectors of the
nation.

Military despotsm has been es-
tablished in the Yakima Valley, al
though martial law has not been
declared. 1t has been proven so
often that the business cass are law
less, and will resort to any high
handed and reasonable act that be-
comes necessary to defeat the aims
of labor who ask to better the
standard of life. Treason is not
confinable to the popularity con-
strued meaning. The worst and
most despicable form is treason to
trust; treason to the trust placed
in the officials, by the people.
However, when reduced to its log
zeal conclusion we cannot accuse the
officials here of treason, since they
have faithfully performed the duties
they were expected to do by those
who saw to their election. They
have ruthlessly destroyed the things
our progenitors sacrificed so much
to give US. The right of free
speech and assemblage has become
a memory. While the anarchists
who rule by military power can give
expressions to violent and threat
ening utterances. We do not dare
to express openly an opinion about
the damnable Carbon that now
exists in Free and Independent
America" yet they were elected to
serve the business class and hence
have been true to the trust and
true to their masters.

SOCIALIST POLL BIG
VOTE IN PORTO RICO

SAN JUAN, Porto Riho-Social-
lists at yesterdays election, while
failing to elect Santiago Iglesias,
their candidate for senator at-large,
received 23,487 votes, while at the
last election in 1914 they polled but
4,300 votes. This tremendous in
crease in the Socialist vote, it is be-
lieved, is due largely to the oppres-
sive methods used when the sugar
cane workers and dock laborers
went on strike. The brutal repressive
measures aroused much opposition
to the old system.
