these same papers which refuse to recognize the rights of workers to strike, to quit their work and to agi- tate for better wages.
 There is nothing secret about the reason for these arrests. The Citi- zen quite candidly and sympatheti- cally declares That the government officials are completely in control of the strike situation at Nenana and that the backbone of the strike was broken by the arrest Of the strike leaders, is the opinion ex- pressed by Marshal Erwin who le- turned to Fairbanks last night.
 Here is the milk in the cocoanut. Here is the explanation of the ale ged Germanism, here the facts con cerning the I W. Wism. the strike was broken by the arrest of the leaders.
 This insClent attempt upon the part ot those proftting from the labor activities to make any labor activity for better conditions a matter ot sedition, prC-Ger- man, anarchistic and what not by any means confined to the Nenana country. It Is only because this occurrence was especially in- famous that it is here referred to and particularized.
 When the men started the strike | for better conditions Commissioner | Riggs the nan Grigsby, Donahue ct a are trying to foist upon the people as Governor, read a telegram iron Edes announcing that if the mer struck to be prepared to shut dowr the work.
 That was more than the business men, the officials Who acted for then could stand. Then followed the ra. pid action, then followed the arrests then followed the talk of pro-Ger- manism, sedition, and so forth wher the facts were that the entire mat. ter was purely economic, purely q friction between the employers and employed over the wage question purely from the parasitic interests point of view a matter whether the workers in Lettering their condition would endanger teh distribution oi the luscious, juicy, succulent strips of pork that they are now absorbing thanks to the bunk peddled about railroad from nowhere to no where.

would prevent the war being fought 1 to finish, even though it end on the ruins of our civilization would | be a disaster And we know that 1 it. would be especially disastrous 1 to Russia. Why cannot the Amer | ican comrades, who for the most part never sacrificed a single iota for any cause, accept the determin- ation of the Russians as worthy of emulation In point of fact we can not but admire the policy of the industrialists who refuse point blank to be turned aside from their eco homie movement by any such thing as a poor antiwar agitation. They have gotten down to fundamentals. They realize conditions as they are, and they prepare to meet them. They are not mussing and fussing with sticky sentimentality that is only the grimy mask for another sentiment altogether than that of the proletarian interests.
 The political socialists are most successfully diverting the workers from the urgent need of economic solidarity. They are beating the winds with reeds, vain impotent and deceiving
 They live upon a propaganda that ,n,, op1,- ba cuccaccfIii where thprp is economic solidarity and that solidarity they are actually aidirg in it's dissipation. They are constant lv wrangling about rights, when the patent fact is that to lave rights and to hold rights, to maintain them intact. not only is eternal vii gilance needed but solil )rganiza- tion.
 When the columns are filled with denunciation of rights shorn of this class or that class it may be taken for granted that they are so shorn because that class was not organized to prevent such a condition. When a condition that is unpleasant 10 the masses is forced upon the mas ses it is not because of perverted political ingenuity or perverted po-
 itical energy, but because of the lack of economic organization.
 We have referred elsewhere to the recent events in the Nenana country; had there been one sound, solid labor organization in that section of Alaska this could never have been perpetrated. They have had socialists galore, with all kinds of fads and fanCies but the econo- mic organization the source of the real strength of the workers was lacking and hence everything was possible. It is because they have no case for their pure and simple poli- ties, with their Bergers and their government ownership, ice company owning Hillquits that the socialist party is in the mess it IS today. The workers have passed it long ago.

Russian legions of social revolution ists to throw themselves forward upon the worlds enenl" and men ace to their own newly won demo- cracy, to know that the American social reyolutionists are opposing to their utmost the part the United States is taking to tighten Russia S burden! What glorious allies to have, Of course, Russia is under tremendous obligations to the Am erican Socialist party and should be only too glad to repay us in small way by interceding with our govern ment in our behalf that we may continue to make her task more difficult one.
 Comrade Editor are you equal to the task of explaining and justifying your attitude and the stand of the party as set forth in the majority report with the seeming acquies- cence in and evident satisfied ac- ceptance of the part revolutionary Russia has chosen to pursue? You captioned a letter of mine some weeks ago With the Tide Be cause of that left-handed compl ment 1 feel that you should at tempt an answer to by query. Frat eranlly yours, ROSS HASBROUCK."
 That letter unquestionably reveals the utter vanity of the socialist anti-war agitation. No matter whether one agrees with the atti- tude assumed by Hasbrouck or not, it is certainly matter of interna- tional importance that no nation can stand aloof from what has become a great struggle upon the part of Russia for it's economic as well as political freedom.
 1t is most absurd to enthuse over the Russian victories" in Russia and to pass resolutions of denuncia- tion Of the war simply because of natural sympathy with the other side.
 American socialists have been af- fecting an ostrich like policy over the whole war. They have been either pro-German or pro-Ally and they stuck their heads in the ground as a whole lot of others did and affected to be neutral. Neutrality was regarded as the one sure type of internationalism although it is quite apparent that there was no such thing as internationlism. And so far have they been carried away by their ostrich like affection that they have gone to the length of making gods of their pro-German bourgeois minded Milwaukeeites, while they expelled those who af- fected similar candor about their sympathies for America and the war.
 We know nothing more tellingly misleading than this whole antiwar agitation. It is the red herring that the socialists are dragging across the trail of the labor move ment and they are doing the very same work as the capitalists and their cock roach henchmen are dO- ing, making political or economic capital out of the war, that withal is not a bit worse than the industri- al system that has created it, that fostered it and which has for it's end and aim further expansion.
 We say that this policy which

Ross Hasbrouck writing to the New York Call quite appropriately calls attention to the inconsistency of the socialist press and the social ist party in the matter of it's war. policy. That letter is worth re printing:
 An Editorial Criticism.
 Editor of The Call:
 You make d suggestion in today's issue. You ask, Shall we not make an appeal to the Russian people to order their government to use its influence upon our government to the end that Socialist meetings shall not be broken up. that free speech shall not be denied us9 You make this claim anent the Russians They are our allies in every sense.' '
 did not know that the Socialist party recognized any allies. I was under the impression that the party had repudiated the part the Amer ican people were taking in the world war. l supposed that that logically carried with it the repu- diation of the aims of all the allies of course, including Russia. Poss- ibly I am mistaken. Perhaps, by some strange hocus pocus of logic Russia is expected from the general party curse. Certainly, in your edi- torial, you seem to claim her as an ally. Of course, it is impossible that you could be guilty of an in- consistency, but I am in a quan- dary. Can you explain the riddle?
 Russia must value very greatly the part played in Americas ally ship by the Socialist party. It is such an unselfish. sacrificing part, So brotherly and helpful! What a beneficent assistance it must be to Kercnski, when he is urging the
