sion, is expected to ask congress, when
he returns from England, to mobilize
farming force thruout the country
and to cultivate all unused agricultural
lands.
Now the farmers are complaining
that farm labor is scarce. Millions of
acres of good land are untitled be-
cause the farm labor is lacking. Men
have gone to the factories. Now they
will be going into the army and navy.
The government must provide an army
of agriculture, to plow and harrow and
plant and cultivate and harvest the
crops this year, if the great food short
age is to be met.
Conscription For Farm Work.
Actual compulsion of enlistment of
farm hands for this work is being con-
sidered. Men will not volunteer to
work the land unless they are well
paid, and trade union standards have
in past years made the long hours and
low pay of the average farm hand
look mighty unattractive. So Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston has come
out with a proposal that 100000
boys between the ages Of Is and 10,
and men who for reason Of being. past
military age or for physical disability
are not to enter the armed forces,
shall be enlisted for equally indis-
pensable services in the production of
food, supplies and munitions"

IF THIS BE TREASON,
MAKE THE MOST OF IT."
BY SAMUEL GOMPERS
In April American Federntionist.

At a recent meeting of Typograph-
ical Union No. 40, Denver, Colo, the
following resolution was adopted:
That it is the sense of the union that
the committee drafting a new scale
of prices for book and job branch, to-
gether with the officers of the union,
should pursue the usual course of
dealing directly with the printing en-
ployers of the country.
In Colorado this declaration is un-
lawful.
In practically every city and town
outside Colorado such resolution
would be regarded as a commendable
effort to adjust industrial relations
without interruption of industry-an
intelligent effort of those primarily
interested to manage their own af-
fairs.
In order to facilitate the making of
agreements and to protect their inter-
ests, organized printers delegate to
responsible officials the authority to
meet with employers and to agree
upon terms and conditions of work.
The arrangement is thoroly democrat
ic and safeguarded by the responsible
relation which the officials bear to the
rank and file. Yet Colorado printers
may be sent to prison for following
that course.
In Colorado, state which has long
been notorious for subversion of re-
publican government and for the ir-
responsible domination of mining cor
porations, the law of the state makes
the action taken by Typographical
Union No. 40 illegal. The law would
deny the union the right to present the
scale drawn up by committee until
it has first been submitted to polit-
ical commission composed of three
men who know nothing of the print
ing industry.
Evidence abounds of great wrong
and irreparable injury committed by
those who attempt to apply fads and
theories where practical technical in
formation of the job is necessary. Or
ganized workers have demonstrated
their ability to take care of their own
problems; all that is necessary is OPP
portunity.
Why should free workers who have
demonstrated their ability to meet
with employers and to secure increas-
ingly better conditions and higher
wages, delegate to an irresponsible
political agency the authority to fix
conditions upon which they shall give
their labor? Why should those ex-
perienced in collective bargaining be-
stow upon novices opportunity to de-
stroy what has been secured by years
of struggle and sacrifice?
The course of the Denver printers
is justified by the rights assured them
by the constitution of the country
and is in complete accord with the in
stitutions and the ideals of this re-
public. 1t demonstrates the injustice
and the un-American character of the
Colorado commission law, whose re-
peal is demanded by the Colorado la
Dor movement.
Compulsory labor must not be main
tanned under a free government.
"If this be treason, make the most
of it."

The reason for anti-strike legislation
is shown in report by the federal
bureau of labor statistics, which states
that of 1889 strikes last year the en-
ployers won but All. The workers
won 706 strikes, 70 were arbitrated
and 542 were compromised. This
in 1913 strikes and failed in one
fourth of their efforts to better con-
ditions.

John Wannamaker, the leading de-
partment store merchant of Philadel-
phia and New York, has voluntarily
established "union rules" nj his big
stores. "In token of good will to labor
organizations" the Wannamaker
stores will operate under the eight
hour day system, two weeks vacation
with pay, full Saturday holidays dur
ing July and August with pay. This
pleasing news came in an announce
ment issued in Philadelphia last week.

1t has been agreed that Representa-
the first woman to win a seat in the
United States congress, shall be
granted the privilege of introducing
the bill providing for the submission
of suffrage amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States. This
action will mark the fortieth intro
duction of the measure, and there is
some reason for the hope entertained
in suffrage circles that it may be the
last, for the sixty-fifth congress, so
far as is known, contains larger
number of members favorable to the
granting to women of equal political
rights with men than has any of its
predecessors.

Samuel S. Schmidt, superintendent
of the Jewish settlement of Cincinnati,
Ohio, advises that surveys of the rich
be made and that settlements be estab-
lished where they can reside and be
taught how to live moderately. The
suggestion has shocked "uplifters" and
idle rich who devote their lives to
advising the poor.

Prophecies are usually shrewu
gucss,s or ambiguous statements IN
terprcted after the event. What gem
orally happens Is that when something
forctold comes TO pass II Is seized
upon as marvellous, while the thous-
ands OF prophecies that do nos mater

1914. many such prophecies have been
made public, some OF them foretellinS
the world d-catastrophe with consider
able definiteness. The spirit or mys-
tcism that has spread over Europe as
ono of the psychological reactions OF
the war has caused some OF these TO
be regarded as supernatural revela- =
tions. The scientific and sNeptical
mind finds itself challenged by facts
that seem TO defy explanation.
The most remarkable OF all these
forctellirgs is the prophecy OF Broth

OF bombs, to the election OF Pope
Benedict, and to the death of Francis
Joseph, are simply astounding. Some
points in the prophecy have been full
filled even since its publications in
English two and a half years ago. The
reference to the white eagle is inter-
esting because If the manuscript really
dates from the sixteenth or seven
teenth century, this would in the mind
OF the monk apply TO Poland, whose
arms include the whito eagle. But
above all what holds the attention is
the prediction, already fulfilled, of a
combat of dimension in armies en-
ployed, of losses incurred, OF atrocities
INDUCED in by the Germans, that n
few years ago would have marked
the author for a padded cell in an
asylum for the insane.

Honolulu, T. H., Jan. 25.-Consterna-
tion prevails in the ranks of the Ha-
waiian National guard because OF the
United States district judge, that Fill
pinos are not eligible as citizens OF the

Territorial officials and heads of the ma
tionaI guard that the decision will an
initiate the guard as possible hgnting

A large part of the national guard Of

some of the companies made up wholly
of Filipinos are accounted the crack

Judge Vaughn's ruling is upheld, IL Will
mean these companies will have to be
disbanded and all Filipinos discharged.
The national guard of Hawaii is the
second largest national guard organiz.
alton in the United States, the guard or
New York state only exceeding 1t in
numbers. The guard, here has been
built up within the last year and from
an almost negligible organisation 70
and equipped. for the most part, and
exceptionally well drilled. Its head Is
Brig.-Gen. Samuel ]. Johnson, adJutant-
general of the territory.
The welfare of the guard and its up
building has been fostered by Gov. Luz

officers stationed in Hawaii, who point

quired that every available man should
be instructed in the art of war and that
there should be maintained the largest

guard possible.
When the work Of reorganizing and
enlarging the guard here was begun

in the territory, evidenced especial In
terest and made application to join. I'M
der the laws of the territory and those
OF the United States, only citizens or
aliens eligible to citizenship and who
have taken out their first papers, may

Several Filipinos accordingly filed
application for citizenship papers, The
matter came before Charles r. Glenn

district court, who held on March 26
last that Filipinos were eligible to be-
come citizens. This ruling was follow

their first papers, and within short
time more than 700 had been granted
them.

said an appeal would be taken to the
