RUSSIA MAKES 4 CHANGE

Of government, A starving nation
had been rioting for four days. The
Gar ordered the Duma to adjourn.
The Duma refused and turned upon
the officials and threw them into

wanted a change so took sides with
the Duma and the soldiers and sail
ors followed suit. The Car abdicat-
ed and now Russia is laying the
foundation for y republic. The new
republic will be modelled after the
United States. They will become a
free people, just as we are here.
They will have to retain their jails
in order to place therein all who OPP
pose the new change for better con-
ditionS. Yes, Russia has made a
change but the same old class war
will continue. Labor power will still
be commodity and all the boosted
freedom will be but on paper.

"UNREST' RIFE AMONG
MEN IN BUFFALO SHOPS

BUFFALO,, N. Y.-"Unrest," as
the Chamber Of Commerce members
term it, is rife in many shops and
factories of Buffalo. The discomfort
is most prevalent among unorganized
workers, though union men are also
talking of more pay, as the skyrocket-
ing prices of food have lowered the
better paid union mems standard of
living to an alarming extent.
In addition to strikes in several ma
chine shops, the awning makers of
the city are out. And there is a
strike Of $4,000 men in the New York
Central yards and shops.
A large number of unions have
made demands for increased wages
and shorter hours. Everywhere the
unorganized men are talking strike.
This condition is most marked in
the mammoth Pierce Arrow plant, in
the Buffalo Copper and Brass Rolling
Mill, in the three plants of the Cur
tiss Aeroplane Company and at the
Sterling Engine Works.

POLICE AND FIRE
MEN ORGANIZE
UNION IN NY. STATE
(By Call News Service)

SCHENECTADY, N. Y.-As a re-
suit of the refusal Of the City Board
Of Estimate to grant a sufficient wage
increase to the firemen and police
men, the members of the police and
fire departments have organized la
Dor union, to be affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. APP
plication for charter was sent to the
A. f. of L. Executive Council in Wash
ington.
In view of the high cost of living,
the policemen and fremen asked an
increase in wages and $3.50 a year.
Public Safety Commissioner Cole rec
commended that an increase of SIS per
man be given and that amount was
placed in the tentative budget. The
Board Of Estimate finally allowed a
general increase Of only $50 a year, to
apply to all men in both departments,
from the lowest paid patrolmen and
firemen to and including the chiefs.
President Steinmetz, Socialist Of the
Common Council, made a strenuous
fight to get at least a $75 increase for
the men, but his efforts were nullifed
by majority of the Board of EST
mate.
Labor men are delighted that the
police and fremen are organized.
They think that from now on it will
be impossible for any one in auth
GRITTY to force the police or fremcn
to aid the corporations and employers
in putting down strike by clubbing
the workers into submission.
The men Of the two departments
are said to be 100 per cent organized.

of ex-Sheriff McRae, one evening last

seemed proud to show that McRae
does not represent the better class of

the meeting there was a social dance
held in hall in Marysville, and Nc
Rae left his auto standing in front of
the hall entrance. The town marshall
came along and made McRae move his
auto. When he went into the hall he
had two body guards with him, and
most of the ladies there refused to
dance with him. 1t is also reported
that McRae has his summer clothes

10 KEEP JOBS
FOR MILITIAMEN

SYRACUSE, N. N.-This city had
many self styled patriotic employ
crs Of labor, who secured much free
advertising by telling how well they
were going to care for their employees
who enlisted in the National Guard
and helped Uncle Sam and his army
"Gct Villa"
But many returning Guardsmen
who did their "bit" on the border,
have found out that employers 'pa-
triotism" was pretty lukewarm senti-
mcnt, and that they were not paid by
their employers while ON the border
Several came back to find even their
jobs gone
This fact was revealed when sew
eral members of the Fourth Ambul-
ance Corps which did service for
nine months ON the border, appealed
to the local branch of the State EN-
ployment Bureau to find jobs for
them. In one day three men applied
for jobs, saying that when they re-
turned to their old places they found
other men filling their jobs.
One of the Guardsmen stated that
he could have had his old position
back again, but the employer had so
boastcd of the fact that he was going
to pay the man while in the service
of the country and hadn't kept his
promise, that he'd sooner work some
where else than for this concern. He
didn't have to tell the boss twice and
now he's looking for position.
The Chamber of Commerce, the
city and county officials and several
civic bodies turned out en- masse to
greet the Ambulance men when they
came back. There were dinners, fetes
and social invitations of all kinds,
but the fact that while the breadwin-
ners had been on the border their
families We're starving, or living on
charity, was furthest from the
thoughts of the patriot" officials.

SYDNEY. New South Wales. It
seems as il the government OF New
Zealand has started out ON a cam
paigu to shut the mouths of the work
crs' representatives by charging
them with "scdition' and throwing
them into Jail.
Robert Sample, n leader of the
men in that country, who came across
to Australia to assist in the defeat
of CONSUMPTION, did not have his
freedom long after returning to his
own land. lie was speedily seized
and thrown into Jail for making n
seditious uttcrance His "crimc'
was that he urged the repeal of the
New Zealand Consumption Act. He
was arrested an hour before he was
to address his second meeting in New
Zealand after returning there from
Australia. He was tried and sen
fenced to twelve months imprison-
ment.
AS soon as he was arrested, the
office of the Maroiland Worker was
raided, and all literature appcrtain-
ing to CONSUMPTION seized In add
ton, the sub-editor Mr., James Thorn,
was arrested for "scdition," and he,
too, got twelve months in Jail. a
third arrest soon followed, when MIR.

rested and sentenced to twelve months
in Jail for Expressing a seditious in

nounced the Consumption Act Of New

Nor was it to end here, for shortly

for "sedition." He, too, got twelve
months. In addition to the above.

HOW WASTEFUL DIS
TRIBUTION HELPS TO
MAKE HIGH PRICES

TORONTO, Canada.-An illustra-
ton of one cause of high prices-the
wasteful system of distribution under
the capitalist system of production
and distributions given by the
Canadian Grocer. The Grocer relates
the following incident:
sin the columns Of the Weekly On
tario, of Belleville, Ontario, appeared
recently an interesting item relative
to a shipment of fish from that sec
ton that is an Illuminating comment
airy on present high prices.
ga catch of whitefsh was made at
Bath, some forty miles from Belle
vile. From Bath the fish were ship
ped to Kingston; from there they
were sent across the lake in bond to
Cape Vincent, where they were froz-
en- in the public refrigerators. They
were then returned to Kingston, and
from there shipped to a dealer in
Toronto. From Toronto they return
ed to Belleville to fill an order from
a local merchant. In the interval
this one shipment had travelled 400
miles to arrive at final destination
just forty miles from the originat-
ing point.
at is noted that the fish that
brought the fishermen 7 cents a
pound cost the consumer II to 10
cents. There you have one of the
causes of high prices-wasteful sys
tenn of distribution"
