There is a great demand for young
girls between IL and % to work in

experience Unnecessary and girls with
grammar school education are eleg-

Socialists Hope to
Send London and
z More to Congress
Leaders Say Hillquit and
Shiplacof Have Good
Chance to Win

Julius Gerber, treasurer of the New
York County Socialist organization,
yesterday predicted that the Socialists
will realect Meyer London to Congress,
probably elect Morris Hillquit to Con-
gress from the Goth district, and
Abroham l. Shiplacoff from the 10th
district in Brooklyn, elect Joseph B.
Cannon as Senator from The Bronx,
and elect at least ten Assemblymen
from New York City, this being the
number they had last year.
"The Socialists are in good shape
for the campaign" said Mr.. Gerber.
"The fact that the war fever is on
and that thousands of our political
members are in the army or getting
ready to go will make no relative diff
ference to our party vote in the fall
election. We stand to reelect Mr.. Lon
don. Fusion cannot beat him. ! am
inclined to think that Morris Hillquit
lr the goth and Shiplacoff in Brooklyn
will pull through for Congress, al
though they are fighting against odds.
We expect to elect Joseph 3. Cannon
in the 18th Senate District. He's go
ing strong, like his name, and the
people there seem to be with him.
The Democrats made the greatest
mistake in their lives when they went
into the fusion pact with the Repub-
licans. koenig put it all over Senator
Wagner in that deal. Take the 18th
Congress District, where LaGuardia,
the Italian officer, is the fusion candi-
date. The figures show that the Re-
rublicans had 5,553 votes in the dis
trict, and the Democrats 6,2O6, and yet
the Democrats lay down and gave it
to the Republicans. the minority party.
In the goth, where the fusionists are
bent on beating HillQuit, it is worse
yet for the Democrats. There the Re-
publicans had 2,401 votes, while the
Democrats polled 4,463. The Democrats
gave way ard indorsed Sicgel. This
kind of politics will destroy their party
organizations. In the two districts
where the Republicans indorsed the
Democratic candidates they didn't have
any votes, anyway, and so they lost
nothing. The Tammany people got all
the worst of it in the swap. Another
thing is that the Socialists, knowing
that the old parties had to combine
to light them, are greatly encouraged
and Will show gains
While Mr.. Gerber, as one of the
leaders of the Socialists, is in a posi-
ton to speak with emphasis, both
County Chairman Koenig and Senator
Wagner are confident that the old
parties Will cut heavily into the Social
lists this fall
The vote last year against Mitchell
New-York tribune., 1918-09-16

was very considerably protest vote,
many Republicans voting the Socialist
ticket, to rebuke the Mitchell man
ayers" said Chairman Koenig. "The
war is on and a great wave of patriot
ism swept thousands of the Social
lists into line with the old parties and
in support of Wilson and Whitman.
We fully expect to cut down the
Socialist vote in November"
The Socialists \, the 18th and 2Otn
Assembly districts, which take in the
greater portion of the goth Congress
District, where Hil)quit is the Socialist
candidate for Congress, are strenu-
ously working to elect Hillquit over
Siegel, the fusion candidate.
The week of September II has been
designated as "Red Week." in this sec
ton, and during next week open air
meetings will be held on almost every
street corner, and all the Socialist
candidates will be heard
The Socialists are not alone in
thinking it was a good thing for the
Republicans and Democrats to fuse on
Congress nominations in four districts.
At the meeting of the Republican
County Committee on Friday night
Frederick c. Tanner praised County
Chairman Koenig for fusing with the
Democrats with the idea of beating
Hillquit, London and Nearing.
The fusion is almost certain to re-
suit in the reelection of Captain
La Guardia in the 14th and Siegel in
the goth.

IHIpL
To the Chairman of the Council
of Peoples Commissars:
My Dear Mr. Chairman: The in
dustral and commercial organiza-
tions in Germany interested in trade
relations with Russia have addressed
themselves to me in q letter, includ-
ing several guiding indications. Per-
NIT me 10 bring them to your atten-
ton.
/. The conflict of the Russian rev.
olution with the Russian capital
lists absolutely does not interest Ger
man manufacturing circles, ;n so far
as the question does not concern in
dustry as such. You can destroy the
Russian capitalists as far as YOU
please, but it would by no means be
possible to permit the destruction OF
Russian enterprises. Such q situa-
ton would produce constant fer
ment IN the country, supported by
famine OF materials and in consc-
qucnce of that, of products also. The
English, American and French CAPT
talists take advantage Of this disor-
der and understand how to estab-
lish here corps of their commercial
agents. It is necessary 70 remember
that German industry IN the first
years after the general peace viii
not be in a position to satisfy the
purchasing demand of the Russian
market, having broad similar paral-
lei tasks in the Near East, in Persia
in China and in Africa.
3 1t is essential, therefore, to con-
duct a canvass and gather statistical
information with regard to the con-
dtion of industry, and, III view of
the absence Of money in Russia, to
address in business conversations
whichever is desired of the groups
of German commercial banks.
8. Trade with Germany may be in
the first period almost exclusively
exchange for wheat and for any re-
naming products to receive house
hold necessities. Everything which
exceeds the limits of such trade
should be paid for in advance to the
amount of rs per cent Of the market
value, with the payment of the re-
naming quarter in q six months
period. In place of such an arr nge-
ment. probably, it would seem 20 be
possible to permit, privately, the
taking of German dividend shares
on the Russian financial market, or
solidly guaranteed industrial and
railroad loans.
In view of the indicated interest OF
German manufacturers and mer-
chants in trade relations in Russia, |
cordially beg you, Mr.. Chairman. to
inform we of the v.crs tf the govern
mcnt regarding the questions touched
upon. and to receive the assurances
