Boycott Against Germany After
War Planned by British Seamen
Director OF Publicity for American Labor Alliance Tell
Fiow English Union Put Ban on Teuton Goods
for Crimes at Sea

The American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy last night made
public the folloaUing cable messdqe
received from Chester NJ. Wrioht.
director of publicity for the alliance
and member of the American
Federation of Labor Mission to
England and France:
By Chester M. Wright
Member of the American Federation
Of Labor Mission to England and
France
LONDON, April 80 delayed why
the Seamen's Union of Great Britain
VIII permit no pacifists to leave the
British Isles to attend an international
peace conference was learned to-day
IN detail by the American Trade Union
Mission from J. Havelock Wilson
president of the Seamens Union.
1T was the seamen who prevented the
British delegates from going to Stock
holm and who more recently prevented
British delegates suspected of Dacifst
tendencies from leaving for the United
States to propagate the idea of co.
belligerent conference. While the sea
men adhere to their determination to
transport no pacifists, no pacifist can
sail
Wilson came to the Grosvenor Hotel
where he remained in conference with
the Americans for several hours, during
which he talked almost continuously
revealing to them the history and rela-
tlons between the British and German
seamen. Few men are more intimate
ly familiar with the workers than
Havelock Wilson. He was one of the
organizers on the first pure trade union
to be organized in Germany.
In addition to the seamen's position
regarding the pacifists, Wilson in
formed the American mission Of an.
other decision reached by the seamen
of which little, if anything, has been
heard previously.
Boycott on Germany Planned
"On September 21, 1917" said Will
son, 1--WE formed what we call Mer.
chants Seamen's League, and declared
that it German terrorism on the sea
continued we would enforce boycott
against Germany for two years after
the war and that for every new crime
from that time on we would add one
month to the length of the boycott
The length of the boycott now stands
at five years, seven months. We have
reliable information that this action is
making a very profound impression or
German manufacturers and shippers"
The British seamcn got their first
intimation of German treachery when
the international transport strike was
first proposed by German delegates
ostensbly to pledge support. But the
British learned later that the German
delegates had in their pockets as they
talked contracts signed with en-
ployers.
"After that" said Wilson, "we
watched the German Social-Democrats
in the Socialists International. But
we never could get the Germans to
face the issue. Always they had ex-
cuses and evasions. We never had con-
fidence in them. When war came we
felt it our duty to take care of the
men on our ships who could no longer
sail, and also to set a good example.
"There were Germans on our ships
who had been in England so long that
they had forgotten their language

On August 20, 1914,-you see we acted
qulckly-we bought an estate of thirty
nine acres and built the model intern
ment camp of Great Britain. We asked
the government to give us charge of
all interned German sailors, and let it
be known to the credit of Great
Britain, that was done.
The government allowed us also ten
shlllings per week per man for upkeep.
The camp became great success.
, There were 1000 German sailors in
termed in it.
"Until May, 1916, all went we'll. On
May l. the interned men celebrated
May day, their international revolu-
tionary holiday. They had their BAN
ners Workers of the World Unite,
World Brotherhood and so on. The
explanation was that we hao planned
q great fete and had secured the con-
sent of several well-known persons to
attend and help make it a success. On
May the Lusitania was sunk.
II called the Germans in camp to-
that had happened. l told them they
were not to blame, but that the cele-
bration could not be held. And they
made no protest to me. Now here
were 1000 Germans not under control
of the Kaiser. Some of them had been
among us twenty or thirty years.
"As soon as | had got out of the place
they sang and cheered and rejoiced
over the Lusitania disaster. They kept
this up for four hours. That made me
conclude that the camp must be handed
over to the military as soon as possible
and this was done within six months
After that came the U-boat campaign
and what made that worse was the fact
that U-boats always turned their guns
on open boats.
Calls Kaiser Responsible
81 have cot hundreds of cases of boys
whose arms and legs have been blown
off by U-boats' guns while trying to get
away from sinking ships in open boats
wrote the secretary of the Interna-
tional Transport Workers Union, pro-
testing against these crimes. His reply
attempted to justify every crime. That
showed us that not only was the Kaiser
responsible, but that the organized
trade union movement of Germany was
also responsible.
Con June i, 1917, Socialist congress
was convened at Leeds. 1t was adver-
tlsed as the greatest conference eve,
held. We sent two men there to tell
our story. Our men found that small
bodies of only handful of members
had delegates who could get the floor
easily for pacifst cause Our men
could not secure anything like a fair
chance.
"In this conference Macdonald, Fair.
child and Jowett were elected delegates
to Stockholm. We at once resolved
that no delegates should leave this
country. None did"
That is the history of the seamen's
determin nation to bottle I'M such Rriti h
pacifists as may desire to go abroad
spreading their doctrine. Mingled with
it is the grim, sad story of 10000 mem
bers Of the Seamen's Union who have
lost their lives on merchant ships
through Germany's criminal conduct or
the seas.
While there is here and there one in
England who resembles leader OF
labor who is pacifst, the determine
tion of the British seamcn to &c
through with the war to the finish is
scarcely more than a reflection of the
rank-and-tile spirit that is to be found
throughout the whole Of British labor.

States went to war to serve. But from
six to nine months was wasted in
squabbling in the Shipping Board row.
Both the French and British warned
us of the necessity of moving more
troops. to, Europe before the German
offensive began. American newspapers
printed so much about the coming
offensive that it was referred by edi-
torial paragraphers as the "much ad
vertised" offensive. But the rushing
of American troops over was not be-
gun until the drive had begun to smash
back the British lines and threaten
the Channel ports.
So to the minds of those who are
weary of delays in our war prepara
tions it is no detraction to say that
Mr.. McAdoo is merely doing the SIM
pie, obvious, and common sense things.

A group of men who were ct loan

'FOntOard, Christian Soldiers"
Suggested AS America s Battle Hymn

What do you think OF Onward,
Christian Soldiers" as America S bat
tie hymn?
A corporal in the Headquarters
Troop of the 101st U. S. Cavalry has
suggested this stirring hymn as the
battle song of Americas fighting men.
Trench and Camp is DESTROYS OF as
containing the opinions of as many
2oldiers as possible on the adoption
cast your ballot.
In making his suggestion the cor
poral wrote the following:
Our great President has outlined
Americas policy and declared to the
Teutonic powers that we seek moth
ing but justice to the oppressed and
an. assurance OF Everlasting Peace,
with the downfall of Autocracy. Can
those words mean anything but that
we have a righteous cause-,-that we
are the inspiration of our allies
that we are in q war for world free
dom-that we are the reserve forces
OF the Almighty sent forth to struggle
for weary brothers in arms, who for
over three years have stayed the on
rush OF the diaboIical, God-forsaken
foe? Can those words mean anything
but that we are the last, final, mighty
blow, called on by the very God Him
self to bring inspiration and new
courage to the battle-wOrn hosts of
Righteousness?
do we not, therefore, need d bat
tie hymn that characterizes the cause
for which we fight and give our very
lives and fortunes for its victory i?
Can it better be expressed than by
that old familiar marching hymn of:
Onward, Christian Soldiers
Marching as to war,
With the Cross of Jesus
Going on BEFORE etc?
Have you ever heard that won
derful hymn blared forth by massed
bands? Have you ever listened to
your regimental band play it on their
way to or from Sunday church serv-
ice? Have you ever felt the thrill
the cold chill creep up your back
until it came with rush to the very
roots of your hair, when you heard
it as you marched on parade in the
old home town? Is there anything
more inspiring in it's marching
Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1918-01-23

rhythm-its words and simplicity Of
meaning? Has Ii mot been the old
reliable of band leaders for years to
bring applause from an unresponsive
audience? Does it not appeal to you
as the battle hymn of the hour-the
very thing we need-that extra
something not expressed by bayonets
or bursting shells, but the human dy-
manic force back of them inspired to
an overwhelming victorious strength?
I'VE will not have time to sing it
IN the trenches nor going over the
top, but we can sing it and have our
bands play it as they march through
the streets of America, England,
France, Italy and Russia, on our way
to the front 1t will proclaim to
nations everywhere that America has
a divine objective
LET us then sing it everywhere,
on the march, in the divine service
in our hearts Let it grow and kim
die within US. Let us thoroughly
understand our objective in that
song, so that no matter what the
experience or sacrifice may be we will
stick to our task with that tenacity
which has ever marked American VIC
tory. Therefore let the bands sound
off-The Battle Hymn of America:
Onward, Christian Soldiers! 4.
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus I
Going on before,
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe,
Forward into battle
See His banners CO."
Commenting on the suggestion, the
Camp Hancock edition of Trench and
Camp, published at Augusta, Ga.
says
Ills suggestion is an excellent one.
No hymn is more universally sung.
No hymn rings with the martial spirit
as does Onward, Christian Soldiers
There is a dignity, a sweep of ma
jesty in the setting that enraptures
and ennobles any soul the least bit
responsive to emotion. We have
heard it sung by 10000 people and
the effect was tremendous 1t has
been sung in our hearing by small
gatherings and never does it fail to
impart virility and challenge to the
hottest impulses We heartily en-
dorse the suggestion"
