to aspire to something better. In
deed, 1t would be deplorable if that
desire could be killed. When EN-
ployers seek to prevent a natural
outlet for this desire they provoke
violence and disruption. The l.
w. w movement is a creation of
economic despots and financial an
archists who oppose constructive
organization of economic relations.
After the copper kings of the south
west have created and fostered the
l. w. w. movement they now seek
to use 1t as a cloak to disguise its
attack upon the trade union move

profits on war contracts. To en-
trench their power they began a
campaign of victimizing active un-

UNION men and union women
should be very careful as to what
they do and what they say at the
present time. Private detectives
and private police by the score are
trying their best to get the goods
on somebody in order to make
themselves stout with their EN-
ployers. The hotels and bar rooms
are honey combed with these men
and If given half a chance will ar
rest somebody for the goat.
1t would not surprise us one bit
to hear of Mooney case in Ham
ilton. These men are not working
for their health ano in order to
keep a good thing going they must
do something to make showing.
We want to warn the trades un-

an arrest. Be on your guard and

Pay Women Mems Wages.

Thermepolis, Wyo. Oct. 19.-
Pay women mems wages where
they do mems work summarizes
one section of the report of Mrs. R.
A. Morton, president of the Wyom-
ing state federation of women's
clubs, to the annual convention.
Women who are replacing men
called to the colors, = she said,
should receive equal pay for equal
work, not only because that would
be just, but also because that would
be the emily way in which the men
returning after the war would re-
ceive their former employment at
their former salaries. -
Mrs. Morton opposed lowering
ths workers standards, and IN urg-
ing continuance of social reforms
during the war period, said:
"Can you resist the appeal of
hungry child easier now? Does
war justify the labor of little chill
dren who SO soon must take up the
burden Of Teconstrrction Do not
our schools need our support just
the same Are our laws SO perfect
that they cannot be improved {
For so years the best people OF our
land have urged every effort for

ilance for a moment, for upon the

pends the success of our army

WELL, did We have it right when
we said In our last week. issue
that the home guards would be
sadly needed soon to watch over
a certain bunch of outside bulls
imported here, not for the purpose
as their employers try to make IT
appear, of guarding their employees
against workingmen of this city
but for the purpose of beating these
workingmen into submission on tie
slightest pr textf On the very
day of the issue containing our pre-
diction two of these same bulls
were arrested for fighting on one
of our most prominent thorough
fares in the heart of the city. Upon
their appearance before Judge
Shank they pleaded guilty and
were fined fifty dollars each. They
were we'll healed" however with
money and paid up without mur
mur. No doubt there was plenty
more where those same hfties came
from.
On the same day there was an
other one of this same breed ar
rested for drunkenness and insult
ing people on High street 1t is
said that this big loafer staggered
up and down High street, between
Front and Second streets pushing
men, women and children off the
sidewalk. He also pleaded guilty
before Judge Shank and was fined
$4,000.
The foregoing took place just
about as we predicted it would,
now here's another. We predict
that the time isn't very far distant
when the authorities of our city
will declare certain hotel a nui-
sance and order 1t closed, and that
certain bunch of outside men
brought here by one Of the factor
les to take the places of a lot of our
decent citizens, will be ordered to
leave the city, bag and baggage.
These men are now prowling about
the city and striking fear into the
hearts of our wOmen and children
with their dark looks, not in the
hearts of our men, mind you, be-
cause they re not built that way.
These fellows have been kept with
in the bounds of decency just about

THE strikebreaker answers but
one good purpose, and that is to
furnish an object lesson in depravi-
ty. Too vicious and too lazy to
work, he acts the part Of the human
buzzard and lives upon the miser-
les of his fellows. To satiate his
lustful passions, and to crafty his
deceased appstites are the highest
and most ambitious aims of his life.

can destroyers to the war zone was
made public by Secretary Daniels. II
was contained in a letter to the Navy
Department, the Secretary said, and
was as follows:
"An interesting feature in connec-

peared in Berlin newspapers. about
four days before their arrival, and also
that a field of mines was planted i'm
mediately off the entrance of the port
at which they arrived the day before
the arrival took place. These were
the first mines planted in that vicinity
during the previous three months"
In giving out the extent, Mr.. Daniels
said that the letter made no further
reference to the matter, and the Vice
Admiral did not give any statement
or speculation as to how Berlin OBJ

following additional extract from the
letter:

the excellent impression given by our
officers, ships and crew under their
command. Our ships made no de-

ties offered here in spite of the length
of their passage under adverse condi-
tions.
"The commander, when questioned
by the admiral as to when his vessels
would be ready for duty, reported that
he should be ready that night, as soon
as the ships were refueled. This was
apparently a considerable surprise to
the admiralty, who then gave them
four days before taking up active
work. The vessels themselves caused
a great deal of complimentary COM
ment, and were found to be well equip.

Speaking generally, the impression
made by our officers and our ships has

tackled Ojinaga, Mexico, opposite here,
surprising the Mexican Government
soldiers in the garrison there and
causing them to fee to the American

attack started.
Customs officials who arrived from

Washington. - The Administration
Food Survey bill, first Of the food-con

House without a record vote. 1t ap
propriates $14.770,OOO for an imme

weeks after the bill is signed by the
President, Secretary Houston an
nounced. AS soon as the measure be
comes law the department will start
its 1900 employees and the 100000 vol

investigation. The preliminary report

ton as soon as the pending regulatory
food measure becomes law.
congresswoman Takes Hand.
The Survey bill passed virtually as
it came from the committee. Miss
Rankin, the woman Representative
from Montana, inserted an amendment
which would require the Department
of Agriculture to use women in the
survey work whenever practicable.
An amendment by Representative
Mckenzie, of Illinois, would make all
persons employed under the bill liable
to military service, and another would
permit citizens to refuse to go more
than 300 miles from their homes or
places of business to testify in food
inquiry.
AS originally drawn, the bill carried
more than s1S,O0O,OOO, but committee
changes reduced the total. These are
the principal amounts appropriated:
For seeds, $5,77S,OOO; education for
increasing production by waste elm
ination and conservation, $4,S4S,400;
general survey, s2;522,O00; eradication
of live stock diseases and live stock
improvement work. sSS5,0O0 miscella-
neous items, s547,4OO. and eradication
of plant diseases and insects, SAL 900.
