reason why they should not, but
there have been times when the

The famous sweater story III
connection with the Red Cross,
continues to show up once in a
while, and it was particularly busy
circulating itself last week while
the big drive was on. The COM
munity that escaped hearing that
Mrs. So and Sos niece knit a
sweater that was afterwards
found on the back of a person that
paid somebody $3.50 for it," is in
deed to be congratulated. They
even had it over at Gilman, Iowa,
where in the face of it the loyal
American citizens of that little
community raised over $1,000 for
the Red Cross. The Gilman Dis
patch prints a letter from David
Paul, Sammy in Camp Merritt.
N. j., i'll which is found this state
ment: Tell these good-for-noth-
ing folks back there that every
thing that is meant for the Red
Gross goes where 1t Is meant to
go. for we have sweaters, socks.
helmets, wristlets, and lots of
other things that will keep US
warm. And if they don't think
that this is so, tell them to come
and look the 18th over" Natur-
ally while the drive was on it was
up to the kaiser's spy to get busy
and spread his propaganda, using
American citizens as far as pos
siblc to spread it by telling them
the barc-faccd lie that Mrs. So

referred to. Surely it is time our

OLD Glory Calls.

\Dy 1lClSH LouuJ
Now once again Old Glory calls,
And bids US all to do and dare;
To stand or fall in far off lands.
And go at Uncle Sans commands
And as they come, with fife and
drum,
So proudly marching down the.
street;
The bugle sounds, again we see.
The spirit of Sherman, Grant and
Chorus:
So we will rally once again, boys,
AS they did in. days of old;
Let's rally round Old Glory,
And fight beneath her folds.
Fight, as did our fathers,
in the days of sixty-one,
Fight, like them, until we conquer
For God, humanity and home.
So they're marching to he fray.
AS they.did that other day;
All side by side, true and tried.
Fighting in a Nations pride.
Onward marching, without pause.
Fighting for the same old cause;
Columbia has crossed the sea.
To plant the flag of Liberty.
Unfurl the sacred Stars and
Stripes, - 4
And fling them out upon the .
breeze;
Forever may they proudly float.
Upon home lands and foreign
seas,
Long may that glorious banner
wave.
Though it should shroud our

Proud emblem of sweet Liberty.

Protect Labor
After the War,
Asks A. F. of L.
Resolution Favoring Indus
trial Preparedness Passed
Without Dissenting Vote

BUFFALO, Nov. 2l.-Without debate
and without a single vote in opposition
the American Federation of Labor to-
day declared for the protection OF
American industries and for a policy
of '-ational preparedness against the
competition of foreign manufacturers
after the war.
Here is the declarations:
Resolved, That this convention go
On record in favor OF a policy Of in.
fiustrial preparedness and the enact
Iment of laws by Congress that will
adequately protect all wage-earners CT
our country against loss OF employ
ment through any invasion of the prod
ucts of any other nation"
Previously the convention had en-
phatically declared for the conscrip-
ton or deportation of all aliens in the
United States of military age. 1t re-
jected a rule that membership in con-
stituent unions be restricted TO citizens
or those who have declared their ir-
tention of becoming citizens.
Veteran Offers Resolution
The CONSUMPTION resolution, offered
by Edward F. McGrady, Boston
printer, provoked the only serious clash
of the day. McGrady, the son of a
veteran, and himself veteran of the
h. ttnn
up standing with his description OF the
departure of troops from Boston, his
own boy among them, and his denun-
citation Of system that permits aliens
who have waxed fat and prosperous
under our institutions to dodge all re-
sponsibility to their own country, TO
this country, to God and to humanity"
Thomas j. Black, delegate from
Toronto, Canada, jumped to his feet
and said:
"This is a most Gastardly outrage.
Why should you prompt Congress to
sentence men to death {? In Canada they
would serve if they were -.yen the
same rate Of pay given them at their
trades"
Kisses and boos greeted this asser-
ton. these changing to cheers when
Daniel A. Carey, also a Canadian, de-
nounced Blacks statements as "an in
suit 70 the men of Canada, who have
given their lives on every battlefield
of Europe"
The vote on the resolution was pa
for and 20 against, the minority COM
ing from the Socialist element.
Despite the efforts Of Vice-President
James Duncan and other Federation
leaders to prevent its passage, postal
employees succeeded in getting through
q resolution denouncing Postmaster
General Burleson for his alleged "Guto-
cratic policy toward the postal en-
ployes."
The convention settled the long
standing jurisdictional dispute between
the United Hatters and the Capmakers,
the latter an East Side organization, by
giving the Capmakers until April |
to withdraw from the making Of straw
and felt hats.
