DEMANDS 6-HOUR
DAY AND RAISE

Anarchy is not taking it's course
in Russia, as was reported by the
press.
A general strike, tying up prac-
tically every industry in Russia, is
now in progress. The said killing
that is going on there has not hap
pened. Demonstrations have been
held, but no serious trouble has
taken place. The strikers are said
to be very peaceable and no dis
order is in sight. Strikebreakers,
who are in very limited numbers,
have been handled roughly at times,
but no bloodshed has been caused
The labor movement of Russia has
struck and everything is at a stand
still. A 6-hour day and a rise in
wages is the demand.
This is the substance of a cable
that was received by the Jewish
Daily Forward from their Petrograd
correspondent. The cable reads:
"Organized strikes throughout the
entire country is now in progress.
The strike fever is gaining strength
from day to day, and the workers
are confident of victory The chief
demands of labor is that 6-hour
day be established in all of Rus
STA for all industries, and that q
reasonable raise in wages is granted.
"The workingmen are demanding
one, two and 800 per cent increases
and are driving capital so frantic
that in some instances capital has
said: Take over the factories your
selves
Sixty per cent of the storekeepers
in Petrograd have granted the de
mands of their striking clerks for a
100 per cent increase in wages, re-
troative from the start of the war.
In many cases some of the clerks
affected will receive from 10000 to
15o0orubles (from $4,000 to $4,000
in back pay.
The Threatened strike in 40 fac
tories in Petrograd engaged in men
tel manufactures and other war work,
which was fixed for Wadneedo-.
last, has been averted. The strik-
es' claims were granted, including
the six-hour day.

THOUSANDS OF DOPE
FiENDS ARE BEING
MADE BY WAR

Mr.. Chas. B. Towns, of New York,
who is an expert on the phenomena
and alienation Of the drug habits
says that in Europe it had been
found that morphine was the only
thing that would relieve a sufferer
from the effects of gas. He says
that the men who are "gased" are
taken to the army hospital and i'm
mediately placed under the influ-
ence of morphin.
GAS soon as the patients were able
to help themselves and to use a
hypodermic a mixture of this NOR
phin solution was put on table
within their reach, and they were
allowed to use it as they felt in
clined.
30 far as his observations went,
each of the gas victims who entered
the hospital for treatment left it a
confirmed drug-user ...
1t is the firm conviction Of this
man that all those who have been
through the war from the first and
have oeen 'gassed are takers of the
drug.

at is in no sense a conservation
of the unwilling. president Wood
row Wilson in the draft proclamation.
What will the administration do
about the conscientious objector ?"
Are President Wilson's words sin
cere? Does the administration
mean what it says? Or is this
merely a pious expression, sus-
ceptible of being explained away
when it comes to the pinch?
These are the questions which are
being asked everywhere in Washing
ton and to the solution of which the
American Union Against Militarism
is devoting it's energies.
To this end the organization is
working along two lines. 1t has
been laboring with the administra-
ton of the War Department to es-
tablish in the regulations, which are
shortly to be sent out to eXemp-
ton boards, definite provisions pro-
tecting the conscientious Objectors.'
Under the rulings made by Provost
Marshal H. E. Crowder, it doesn't
matter whether the conscientious OBJ
iectors so recorded themselves on
registration day or not. If their
names are drawn in the draft, they
will be summoned before the regis
tration boards to show cause, if any
Thy they should not serve. At that
time and place they can state their
conscientious objection to bearing
arms and the board will be bound to
pass upon it.

CHILDREN GO HUNGRY
AS VEGETABLES, KEPT
FOR HIGH PRICES, ROT

NEW YORK.-While thousands of
school children here were going to
school with pangs of hunger in their
stomachs, 100000 pounds of spring
vegetables rotted at the wharves
along the Hudson river.
This vast quantity of cauliflower,
cabbage, spinach, onions, squash, let
tuce and radishes, fresh from south
ern farms, was condemned by the
health authorities because it was al
lowed to spoil by commission men
who were desirious of keeping up
prices.
"Not only were the people of New
York city the victims of such a
market SYSTEM said Commissioner
Of Foods and Markets John j. Dill
son, "but farmers of the south who
sent the vegetables here lost many
thousands of dollars in freight
charges and lost labor and money
spent to produce the vegetables"

WAR TO PROTECT
MORGAN AND ALLIES

The American farmers are re-
quested to produce abondantly so
Il at this and other nations may live,
and which they all will do, provided
the elements permit it, but friends,
the government has taken no action
except talk to stop food gambling
and specializing. The politicians that
occupy the positions of congressman
and senators are shouting robber
and thief at the food gamblers, coal
barons, meat trusts and the like,
but beyond just shouting nothing
has been done. Those people that
have been placed on councils for
the proper distribution Of food prod
ucts are about as well fitted for the
task as the average congressman for
the position he holds.
Until we can be shown that we
are entering into this war for the
principles Of democracy and the prin-
ciple of unfolding real liberty or for
defense Of our country, we must lOoE
upon it as a war to protect the
gambling investments Of Morgan and
his allies in belligerent countries

GRAB AND PELLAGE
RULE OF CAPITAL
Joseph Bristow States Moneyed In
terests Lobby to Put War
Taxes on People

A bhstering article by Joseph l..
Rlistow, former United States SEN
ator, addressed to Congressman Guy
L. Helvering, anu making speci tic
charges of graft IL the war depart
ment and lobbying by capitalist inter
ests to escape war taxation, is re-
ceiVing the attention Of the whole
country.
The article read:
It is a common rumor in Wash
ington that congressman and other
influential men have obtained com
missions in the army for relatives;
SAID commissions have been dated be-
fore the parties were sent to the
training camps or had taken any
examination.
Al hearings of the house ard sem
ate committees charges have been
made that contractors are being paid
a per cent of the cost for construc-
ton Of army environments.
It is openly alleged that such
methods and blunderings have result
ed in an increase in the estimated
cost of these environments from $75.-
100000 to $3.50, 900, 900
The lobby of the munitions MAX
ers was strong enough with the SEN
ate committee on finance to have the
tax on munitions removed.
The lobbyists that now swarm the
corridors of the capitol have induced
the senate committee on finance to
remove from the revenue bill the in
creased surtax on excessive incomes
of more than $4,000 a var.
Corporations Dodge Tax
Under pressure from innumerable
lobbyists this revenue bill is being
so shaped that great corporations
with watered stock will practically
escape taxation.
Thousands of men have flocked tc
Washington and are using every de-
vice known to the ingenuity of man
to obtain and are obtaining soft
berths for themselves, their relatives
and political friends.
''You may think it patriotic tc
draw the youth Of this land to die
in the trenches Of Europe and to per-
nit the bloated munitions maker to
escape proper taxation and keep his
blood stained gold, but we do not
And regardless Of the brazen eff
frontery with which you seek to in
ti1nidate men from the expression of
facts, we propose to continue to por-
tray The conditions as they are Not

MARRIED MEN
DRAFTED NEXT

SYDNEY. N. S. Wy the time
this news is being read by readers
in the United States, the supply of
single men in New Zealand will have
come to an end, and the military
will be drawing on the married men
for re-enforcements for the army at
the front Already the arrangements
have been made for the drawing of
married men. and they will be taken
in the following order.
l. All men between 20 and 46
without children.
2. All men between 20 and "a
with not more than two children.
3. All men between So and 46
with not more than two children.
A. All men between 20 and "a with
not more than four children.
5. All men between 35 and 46
with not more than four children.
6. All men between 20 and 46
with more than four children.
What they intend to do when these
men are out of the way remains to
be seen. It is thought that they will
then begin to comb the country for
men already in what is known as
eSSeQJl&l JFGQCS, OF UcSlu W Jake
men who are over the age Of 46-
though it can not be assumed that
men Of this age can be Of much use
to the military forces.
Plan Industrial Draft
But the worst feature is the i'm
pending industrial CONSUMPTION that
is almost sure TO come within a very
short time. There is no doubt that
the recent strike in that country
against CONSUMPTION has FASTENED
this feature of military domination.
Recently the miners of New Zea-
land had a combined strike all
through country against conscription,
It failed, mainly because several of
the mine unions were induced to
go back to work and extreme laws
were put into action by the govern
ment. Under the law anybody wish
ing to institute a strike is liable to
a penalty of $4,000, while any in
dividual miner going out on strike
will be sent to the firing line by
the first transport At the present
time the miners are exempt as long
as they continue at their work in
the mines, but once they leave this
Shey become eligible to go to the
front.
