 The prisoners were removed to the Ellis Island immigrant station. They are described as Carl Haynen, Ger man organizer, and an authority ol Mexican affairs, and F. A.

 Nothing Sensational.
 Washington, July 6.-Although of- ficials here take little stock in the more sensational spy rumors that have followed the submarine attack on the American expedltionary forces it is not unlikely tSat the agitation may result in more stringent reguIa- tions, particularly with regard to outgoing mails and cables.
 No general realignment of the spy detection machinery O; the govern ment is contemplated, it was said to- day, because officials consider that re- suits of the present system have dem- onstrated it's efficiency
 !. It has been declared authoritatiyaly that startling revelations of what has been accomplished might be made, if it were considered in the public interest.

ana Lnat contribute 70 the eApi0i,t4s
forces. We have been content with
names rather than with realities
There have been many virile. essential
agencies evolved out Of fundamental
needs of society that have not been
recognized as a part of the political
machinery. These forces are economic
In nature. The real life and the real
power of the nation are not political;
they are economic.
Because our political institutions and
theories have not been formulated with
regard to the real power of the nation
we have often been beguiled into be-
Ieving that a democracy existed when
Ia truth the political forms were dem
ocratic in nature, but the actual con
troll was exercised through economic
instrumentaHtes, organized on an au-
tocratic basis and contributing to the
building up Of exploiting and often cor
rupting forces.
The forceful democraCziug agency
that has been operating in the ecouom-
ic world has been the trade union
movement
AS we go forward into the world war
we need more than ever the trade un-
ion movement II has been needed in
the initial work Of preparing the ma
ton for conflict When demands came
for an immediate vastly increased sup
ply of munitions. government depart
ments and agents have depended upon
trade union officials for information of
sources Of workers and to assist the
government in securing and maintain
ing the good win of workers. The gov
eminent could not deal with individ-
uals. 1t had to work through some
organized agency. That agency exist
ed In the trade unions.
Many government officials handling
Industrial problems have been trained
for other work and do not understand
economic conditions or how to deal
with workers as workers The gov
eminent has found that it can facili-
tate it's work by having trade union
officials represent the workers, present
their grievances and endeavor TO reach
an adjustment, because the trade un-
ion movement represents an effort to
meet real industrial necessity by Sc
curing working agreements between
employers and employees.
No government can be maintained
without mobilizing the good will Of
the masses. The trade union move
ment is constituted agency by which
this can be accomplished. In order to
accomplish the work which it must
perform the government must deal
with workers as human beings-loyal.
intelligent patriots The trade union
movement is an agency by which JUS
tice can be established, which is the
only basis for cooperation and service.
