MT. VERNON SENDS
WORD TO CONGRESS

Mt. Vernon, Wash, Feb. 5, 1917.
Mr.. L. H. Hadley, Congressman,
Dear Sir:
We, the Socialist Party of Mt. Yer
non, WASH, desire to make known to
you our opposition to the Presidents
action in severing diplomatic rela-
tons with Germany and his interpre-
tation of international law.
Should these acts lead to war, the
numbering of the credulous young
men of the nationwide will be easily
misled into thinking they are fight
ing in noble cause, when in fact they
will be fighting to make good the
loans made by American capitalists
to the Allies-is a crime for which
we will hold Congress and the Pres
ident accountable.
A government which regards with
complacency the murder of it's work
ing-class citizens at Paint Creek, Calu-
met, Ludlow, and Everett, to name a
few conspicuous cases, is hardly iusti-
fled in taking such lofty attitude
regarding the rights of Americans on
the high seas" The hypocrisy is too
apparent. Our captains of industry
may risk their merchandise and occas-
ionally their own precious skins in
the danger zone if they wish to. We
deny their right to involve the people
of this country in their quarrel.
We look to you, Mr.. Hadley, to do
what lies in your power to keep this
nation sane in the midst of this gen
eral reversion to savagery.
We know that the advocates of mill
tarism will take advantage of the
present situation to attempt the pas
sage of compulsory service law and
we wish to make plain to you our
determination to oppose any such at
tempt to Prussianize this country.
We workers have no quarrel with
the workingclass of any other country
and we cannot be hoodwinked by spec
lous appeals to "Patroitism," which
IN the last analysis means fidelity to
our economic masters-our masters,
but we hope not yours, Mr.. Hadley.
Sincerely,
J. S. G. AUBURY,
W. E. ELBE,
Committee.

ORGANIZE YOUR FORCES
FOR SCHOOL CAMPAIGN

On Saturday, March Bird, school di-
rectors will be elected in all second
and third class School Districts in the
State. This date Is fast approaching,
therefore candidates should be nomin-
ated at once. It you happen to be n
member at large in District where
there is no Local you are requested
to place yourself in nomination.
After you have nominated, draft
your platform, and proceed to put
forth your best efforts to elect.
A Socialist Board can render valu-
able and important service to the So
cialist Party and the working-class
by employing teachers who know how
to, and WILL teach the TRUTH.
With Socialist teacher in charge
of the School the plactic minds of the
children can be developed and domin-
ated with true working-class ideals
by the simple and easy method of
teaching facts. In the study of his
tory all stories and statements tend
ing toward hero worship can be pas
sed over lightly or entirely eliminated,
while the part played by the working
class in the development of the
country can be clearly and effectively
shown.
Geography can be made far more
interesting and USEFUL by touching
somewhat upon evolution, and by
giving short, graphic accounts Of how
certain National boundaries can be
fixed, and in what way and for what
reasons they have been changed from
time to time.
In arithmetic, the study of profit
and loss offers an excellent opportun-
ity for the teacher to point out the
absurdity and injustice of system
wherein PROFITS and EXPLOITA-
TION go hand in hand.
The above are merely few sugges-
tions pointing out the possibilities for
working-class propaganda in the
| Schools when we make it possible to
employ teachers who have the courage
intelligence and ability to teach the
TRUTH.

CANDIDATES. DRAFT YOUR
PLATFORM. BEGIN AT ONCE. IF

COLVILLE ACTS

A mass meeting was held in the
court house in Colyille on Tuesday ev-
ening, Feb. 9Th, under the Socialist
Party auspices, for the purpose Of
protesting against a possible declara-
ton Of war against Germany. The
meeting was called to order by John
M. Powers. Mr.. Powers was elected
chairman, and b. M. Carbaugh was

Resolutions.
Whereas, The United States and
Germany have severed diplomatic re-
lations and great danger of war ex-
lists between them, and
Whereas, 1t is the unanimous SEN
timent of this meeting, that a great
sacrifice Of lives and wealth would
needlessly result from such action,
on account of the high cost of living,
adding to the distress already existing
and underpaid labor, and believing
that the interests of the people can
best be served by keeping our men,
ships, produce and money at home,
and
Whereas, We are convinced there is
no question of human rights involved,
but on the contrary the privileges of
our commercial pirates are endanger-
ed, thus resulting in this grave danger
to the American people; therefore be

Resolved, That we are absolutely
opposed to a declaration of war, un-
less the question is first submitted to
a referendum of the people in which
every citizen, male and female, is free
to participate without restrictions,
and be it further
Resolved, That the President be re-
quested to warn all American citizens
and shippers that if they insist on
travelling in the war zone, they shall
do SO at their own risks. Be it fur

The above resolutions were written

whore that the men have been sum-
moned forth to die.
These women have left the petty
psychology of personal interests, they
have entered into the completely of
human relations outside of sex rela-
tons. they have learned to think for
themselves and do for themselves,
and have their pay for themselves
and they have developed a new indie
dependence and psychology.
Great numbers of them will never
go back to the old way They could
not go back if they wanted TO. Their
men arc either dead or incapacitated.
They must and will continue to be
workers and bread-winners.
| When the Men Come Home
The war scarcity of labor has caus-
ed the government to employ every
means to supply the need. The con-
scription bill in England was really
an industrial CONSUMPTION instead of
military CONSUMPTION. Philip Snow
den, member of Parliament, made the
charge openly although others had
been imprisoned for making it. When
the fruits and harvests were wasting
companies were sent home to save
the crops, and they did industrial
work under military orders.
The close of the war will release
upwards of twenty million men to re-
turn to the employment Of peace. The
munitions industry with its vast body
| of employees will close down. Some
of these men will be needed in the re-
constructive processes of land and
cities devastated but that reconstruc-
ton goes on now almost as rapidly as
the armies pass.
New Alignment
The class struggle between the
owners of the means of production
and the users of these means, for
more profit on one side and more life
on the other, has been temporarily
obliterated while the national strug-
gle goes on. Trades unions have
yielded their demands voluntarily. All
have worked to a common end, the
welfare of the nation. The CONNER
cial class has been saying, "This labor
trouble has gone never to return; we
all have the same interests now"
But peace will find commercial
class with greater solidarity and COM
mercial interests than ever, a work
ing class more intelligent, better
trained, accustomed to better treat
ment, knowing how to read, more ag-
gressive, feeling that they deserve
some consideration for the sacrifices
they have made, and in more homo
geneous mass. And between these a
small middle class as buffer.
a renewed struggle of classes is in
evitable. The old labor union move
ment has broken down, but new ones
will form on lines of the new con-
struct:on of the working class, and as
Vi duS lIlItS nave DCe1 So largely 3D.
liberated the new unions will have a
greater tendency to follow industrial
organization.
Women will be an integral part of
these new unions also, and they make
better strikers than men.
There will be new political forma-
ton also. The reorganized parties of
labor will be less doctrinaire, more
practical, more concerned with how to
get direct living benefits for labor,
with a folloW-uI of the methods that
have been good for war that will be
equally good fo. peace.
Thus an accentuated class struggle
will haste the day when there will
be no more class struggle and no
more classes, but an enlightened and
well maintained humanity.
