instrument for creating confidence in
the Governments war policies and for
inspiring others with the detcrmina-
tion To see the war through at any
cost.
1t is of the utmost importance
therefore that the American business
letter breathe confidence i'm every
line. If the manufacturer or exporter
feels that he has Just grievance
against restrictions imposed ON his
trade. by all means let him go right
to headquarters and register as en-
phatic complaint as he feels is justi-
fled. But he certainly should not
carry the matter into his business let
tcrs. 1t is sure 10 create an entirely
erroneous impression in some minds.
Let the American business man
make known To the whole world that
he is for this war and that he is going
to see il through. regardless of ncon-
Ncnicncc, loss of trade. loss of money,
or anything else. Every manufacture
er ought to be fearless in expressing
his sentiments even though he may be
writing to a concern whose sympa-
thics he may suspect are not wholly
with Us. Don't give foreign con-
Germ the idea that YOU are apoloEizing
for your Governments restrictions or
that YOU are chafing under them.
Spread the impression, the absolutely
correct impression, that over here we
are backing this war unqualifiedly."
1t should be added that bus
inessmen should put the win
the-war" spirit into letters to
manufacturers and dealers in
this country as we'll as in letters
that go abroad. No one knows
what use may be made of a let
ter these days. Give the enemy
no chance to use your words to
further his cause.

WIN-THE-WAR LETTERS

n T is being generally accept
ed that this war is not
merely struggle between
armies. The people of the ma

Russia the people, not the army
brought disaster upon the ma

The American people being
in the war it is therefore incum-
bent on everyone to put war

is one suggestion:

COSTLY CHILD LABOR

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 5-The State
Industrial Commission has ordered
the Invincible Metal Furniture Com
pany, of Monroe, to pay boy ST.
041.30 compensation for the loss of
parts of three fingers while en-
ployed on punching shears. This
is nearly $500 more than the COM
pany would have to pay if it obeyed
the State law prohibiting the en-
ployment of children under Is. For
this reason the award was trebled
and the company will have to pay
two-thirds of the award and the in
snranee company pays only the reg
ular amount.
The commission stated that sit is
finding altogether too many acci-
dents resulting to children working
without permits or working at pro-
hibited employments. When we con-
slider that there is comparatively
small percentage of employees who
sustain compensate injuries, it is
made apparent that there is a pro-
nounced disregard of the laws gov
erning child employment"

CELEBRATE
LIBERTY DAY

Saturday, October IL, is the four
hundred and twenty-sixth annivers
ary of the discovery of America.
President Wilson mas proclaimed it
Liberty Day and requests the citizens
of every community in the United
States-city, town and countryside
to celebrate the day.
The President, in his proclamation.
says:
Every day the great principles
for which we are fighting take fresh
hold upon our thought and purposes
and make it clearer what the end
must be and what we must do to
achieve it.
I'VE now know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great Nation and Gov
ernment we love into existence, be-
cause it grows clearer and clearer
what supreme service it is to be
Americas privilege to render to the
world"

(By w. M .Short)

The bare dispatches coming from
London lately telling the world that
the recent Inter-Allied Labor Con-
ference had adopted as their war
programme the fourteen points laid
down by President Wilson, only tell
half the story.
The full story reveals something
unprecedented in the whole history
of the labor movement of the world,
and its full truth should be presented
now. There has been much said and
written by the self constituted
friends, advisors and saviors of our
labor movement, that have done as
much injustice to the lobor move
ments of the other Allied countries,
as they had hoped to do to ours.
The verdict rendered by Allied labor
at London, two weeks ago is the
greatest tribute to the unquestioned
logic and far-sightedness of the
policy of American labor, ever paid
to any labor organization, and
complete reputation of the defeatist
who, during the last
eight months have insidiously at
tempted to misinterpret and misrep-
resent our position. The story briefly
is as follows:
The Blackpool convention of the
British Trade Union Congress, held
a little over year ago, had, in form
ulating its war policy, provided for
the holding of an International La
Dor and Socialist Conference, at |
which delegates from the Central
Empires would be present. This was
purely the business of British labor,
by their own congress
or their own guidance. The mo-
ives that actuated them in their
policy were of the highest order, and
lad their reasoning proven as sound
is their motives were pure, the
American labor movement would
AVE given unqualified support to it.

'ress by the proponents of this
'olicy were in substance: THAT ]

WILSON TURNS
COLD SHOULDER

The matter stands about this way;
The German Chancellor, Prince Max
imilian of Baden, asked President
Wilson if the Allies would confer
with the Central powers on peace
terms, as set forth in the President s
fourteen points.
The President answered the
Princes question by asking three,
in substance as follows:
/. Does Germany accept Wilson's
fourteen peace terms or does the
Chancellor merely want to discuss
them?
2. Will Germany evacuate all in
vaded territory before armistice is
declared?
3. Is the Chancellor talking mere
ly for those who have so far con-
Quoted the war?
The consolation the German mill
tary power sought to draw from the
President wasn't much.
1t brings to mind an old adage that
"a Yankee always answers a ques-
tion by asking one"
Meanwhile the war goes on, but
it will not go on much longer if the
present speed is maintained.

PROPHETS FOOLED
BY SAM'L GOMPERS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-President
Gompers fooled the prophets who as
sured the world that he was going
to England to split the British La
Dor party" ETC., etc.
President Gompers ignored the
prophets. He announced the purpose
of the A. F. of L. special mission to
Europe and started on his way. That
he has been successful in presenting
to British and French workers the
war program of President Wilson,
which American trade unionists ac-
cept, is nowhere denied
English and Scottish newspapers
received at A. F. of L. headquarters
make the prophets claim look ridic-
ulous.
At Glasgow, Scotland, newspaper
men interviewed President Gompers.
He said he was not going to criti-
else the labor movement of Great
Britain" and clearly intimated that
the workers of Great Britain-and
elsewhere-are competent to handle
their internal affairs.
In reply to question relative to
details in connection with the solu-
ton of an after-t -the-war question,
President Gompers said:
81 have no right to speak in the
name of the government and the
President of the United States. When
the President has something to say,
he finds means of communicating
it."

MORE ROCKEFELLERISM

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The Midvale
Steel and Ordnance Company invites
employees to meet with officers of
the company to consider plans of
mutual cooperation. Hereafter these
workers will have representation in
all matters governing their relations
with the corporation.
Eastern newspapers are delighted
with this Concession" which one
editor declares "is in line with the
spirit of the age" but which is only
an extension of the Rockefeller plan
in Colorado, which gives the work
ers the shadow of collective bargain
ing while the company holds fast to
the substance.
