RUSSIAN LABOR
DEMANDS PEACE
WITH GERMANY
Strong Faction, With peace

Peace propagandists, backed by the
masses in the big cities, where the
food shortage is growing worse daily,
and led by the labor deputies in the
Duma, are striving to gain the up

Everywhere agitators are at work.
In the remotest corners of the vast
Muscovite realm, where the "moujiks"
are just learning of the overthrow Of
the Little Father" they are preach
ing peace at any price.
Among the troops at the front they
are trying to stir up discomfort and
organize movements with the motto,

The Labor deputies in the Duma
urging immediate peace even at the
cost of a disastrous Russian defeat
These resolutions urge the send
ing of delegates to Stockholm to ne

control of the Petrograd Telegraph
Agency and the appointment of sold
Ter committees to direct military OPP
erations.
Up to date the provisional govern
ment has succeeded in beating off the
attacks, but it is freely admitted that
stormy days are ahead.

DEMOCRACY
IN THE MAKING
British Seize Russian Socialists
and Inferno Them in Prison
Camp

Leo Trotzky and eight other Rus
sian Socialists of the group which
sailed for Russia from New York,
March 81. to answer the call of the
Russian revolution, We're forcibly
seized, taken from ship at Halifax
and put in a Nova Scotia detention
camp by the British military authori-
ties.
A letter received by the Novy Mir,
Russian Socialist paper by several
of the seized men, told the story of
the arrests. The Canadian censor
passed the letter through, but tele-
grams to The Call have not reached
it.
THE British military authorities
found that we, a group of Russian
Socialists, are very dangerous for
the cause of the allies" the letter
stated.
"They took us off the ship and
sent us to the internment camp at
Arlhert, Nova Scotia, where war
prisoners are held. We protested
and refused to leave the ship, but
they carried us out by force. We
sent kilograms to the Russian con-
suls at Halifax and Montreal to the
Russian minister of foreign affairs
at Petrograd, to Comrade Tcheidze
in the Duma, and to a few other
prominent persons"
The communications sent out were
evidently appeals for immediate re-
lief, as well as for aid in securing
the prisoners release, for the letter
states that all their baggage was
taken away and part of their clothes
confscated, they being left without
underwear.
About 5000 Russian rebels have
left or are about to leave this coun-
try for Russia. Nicholas Conieff, a
Russian who was on the Verona has
also left for Russia. Some of the
men who have left have been con-
nected with some of the big strikes
in this country in which the militia
and armed guards were used and
many lives lost. Just think of the
story that these men will be able to
tell of the American system of Re-
publicanism. Let's hope however,
that they all arrive safely in Russia
so that they can help direct the New
Russia to the New Era.

WORKERS ARE FORCED
TO SIGN WAR PLEDGE

DETROIT,-Union officials here
charge that in many factories, par
ticularly in the automobile industry,
workers are being coerced and bull
lied into signing the loyalty pledges"
which petty bosses are circulating
among employees for signatures.
In most cases the men are told
if they appear unwilling to sign the
petitions-and many are that the
bosses want them to sign the paper.
Threats are made frequently that
the worker will lose his job if he
persists in his refusal to sign.

concerned with the industrial side of

"The one solid foundation upon

FINNISH CITIZENS
REJOICE AT FALL
OF RUSSIAN CAR
Social Democratic Party Is the
Strongest Organization in
the Land.
By HENRY ASKELI)


If any nationality has reason to be
glad about the downfall of Russian
autocracy, the Finnish people GER
tainly have.
According to the latest news dis
patches from Helsingfors, Finland, it
now has a new senate, which is Fin
lands supreme executive body. This
was agreed on after prolonged nego-
tiations by all political parties.
Half Are Socialists
The new senate consists of IL mem
bers and is chosen according to
party divisions in parliment Six of
these II are Socialists, and the head
of the government is a Socialist, M.
Tokoi, some years past a miner in
the United States and member of the
Western Federation of Miners.
The Social-Democratic party is the
largest party in Finland at present.
1t now has a majority on the diet
and control Of the senate. Other
parties represented in the new gov
eminent are; Old Finnish party,
young Finnish party and Swedish
Popular party.
This composition government has
already organized a new judicial de-
partment excluding the former reac-
tionary officials, and appointing in
stead the country's best jurists in
their place.
viii Have Free Hand
And when it it is considered that
the new government in Russia has
given constitutional autonomy to Fin
land. the new Finnish government
will have free hand to work. And
they will work in the right direction.
For more than 100 years Finland
has been part of the Russian en-
pire; grand duchy, so-called, and
in the past 20 years the Russian
ization" of Finland has proceeded re-
lentlessly. And yet, in spite of this
aggression and oppression Finland
has taken her place as one of the
most progressive nations in the whole
world.
The world already knows that in
Finland every man and woman has
voice; that they have proportional
representation; women representation
in the diet and many other radical
measureres. All these they got by
fighting for them. They got then
when conditions were most oppressive
What will they do now, when they
have constitutional liberty?
