"WORLD'S BIGGEST
SCAB, THE KAISER

Were striking against the big
gest scab in the world-the Kaiser"
was view of the war expressed by
young American soldier to Floyd
Gibbons, the famous war correspond
ent, when they met on a train in
France few weeks ago. The story
of workingman's view of the great
struggle is thus told by Mr.. Glib
bons:
"He was a little fellow | met in
the dining cara mighty clean lit
tie fellow, dressed in the American
uniform. He didn't drink the wine
which is invariably served there in
lieu of water; he didn't smoke, he
didn't even drink coffee. He said
that his mother didn't want to have
him drink coffee. This was a new
type of soldier to me, and l got very
much interested in him.
"He and his father had been min
ers-up in Calumet. They'd lust
been through a big strike in the
copper mines.
THAT was quite a struggle you
had up there in Calumet, remark
ed in the course of our conversation.
Yes he replied, but this is a
whole lot bigger struggle that I'm in

er-and we've got to win this strike.

it my duty to my union up in Cal
umet, to fight this strike out to

Next Wednesday, at Laredo, Texas,
representatives of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and representatives
of organized labor of Mexico, Cen
tral and South America will meet in
conference and discuss their common
interests with the view of effecting
an international labor organization.
Governors of American border

MEXICAN GOVERNORS
COMMEND CONFERENCE

Governors of the Mexican States
are sending highly commendatory
letters to labor headquarters regard
ing the proposal for an international
labor conference at Laredo, Tex,
from November 13 to 16 1t is ex-
pected that a majority of the Mex
lean governors may attend the con-
ference, and the executives of Amer
lean border States will probably also
be present.
President Wilson and President
Carranza have been invited to the
conference, and, if they can be pres
ent, will meet at the international
boundary.
The proposed labor meeting has
attracted much interest throughout
Latin America, and it is< considered
highly probable that many South
labor organizations will be
represented at Laredo.

ELECTION DAY
CAME AND WENT

The elections resulted unsatisfac-
torily to labor. In some cities and
some states the working classes saw
their way clear to retaining in power
men who have done real constructive
political work in the interest of the
great majority who toll and heark-
ened not to the seductive songs of
special interest sirens whose head
harem is in Wall Street. But in
most of the cities and states the
great wealth-producing majority
cling to their political fetch of
long ago, forgot their own interests
and voted to place in power the
wealth monopolizing minority.
The common people don't know
when they are doing well.
The national administration finds
itself up against hostile majority
which may try to undo all the good
which has been done.
The people did this job and they
will have to suffer it's consequences.
The Republicans have captured the
House in our National Legislature
and may have also secured the SEN

MOONEY CASE BEFORE
u. S. SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, November .. -
The case of Thomas j. Mooney, SEN
fenced to death for the part he is
alleged to have played in the San
Francisco preparedness day bomb
outrage, was placed before the su-
preme court of the United States
today by a petition of his attorneys
for a writ of certiorari. Mooney
has been granted stay of execu-
tion unit December 3, but is now
in the death house.
Moneys principal attorney, Max
we'll McNutt, asked the supreme
court to review the case on two
grounds:
First, that the present detention
of the prisoner is in violation of the
fourteenth amendment of the con-
stitution of the United States, a
fact the California courts failed to
take into consideration and second,
that, contrary to precedent, Mooney
has not been granted new trial "in
spite of the fact that the defense
was able to establish that his convic-
lion was secured on perjured evil
ience."

INFLUENZA HAS
BEGUN DECLINE

The "flu" epidemic appears to have
reached its height and begun to de-
cline. There were fewer deaths and
new cases reported from Seattle and
other cities, though the precautionary
measures of the health authorities
were increased and made more dras-
tic.
On Wednesday morning all per-
sons in Everett were required to
wear masks when entering street
cars, railway trains, steamboats,,
places of business, etc, but pedes-
trians were not required to wear their
muzzles in the oren air.
The Steamer Victoria from Alaska
docked at Seattle Wednesday with
700 passengers, forty-seven of whom
were affected by the "flu,' one of
whom died The Seattle doctors
feared this influx of patients might
cause the spread of the disease
again.
Seattle doctors have commented ia
vorably on the use of the anti-influ-
enza serum, declaring that no deaths
have occurred in cases where the
serum has been used, and that even
If the person vacinated does contract
the "flu" it is only in a light form.
The doctors are also warning peo-
Pile to wear their "flu" masks prop
erly. The masks can become worse
than nothing at all, they say. The
1abit which the doctors condemn
most strongly is the common one of
wearing the mask as a chest pro-
,ector. This exposes the moist inner
side of the mask, which furnishes
he finest possible breeding place for
germs. "Sterilize your mask every
hight" is the doctors warning.

its purposes and effectiveness are
beyond question.
"The American mind is interna-
tional 1t is not bounded by the
Atlantic, the Pacific, the Gulf and
the Great Lakes. The present war
testifies to the Americans longing
for a democra tized world. His fear
of autocracy has been continuous.
The Monroe Doctrine is an express
sion of this fear.
"Signs are appearing that certain
influences are preparing to forget
their complete adherence to the pres
ident's war policy and will oppose
his plan to create machinery that
will eventually end wars and aid in
the establishment of new orders. If
the present world upheaval is to
be the last it is necessary for every
advocate of right relations between
nations to stand behind the presi-
dent and aid in the development of a
sound public opinion favorable to a
League to Enforce Peace.
"When old land marks are being
abandoned America must not be eau
tious. She must have confidence
in herself to launch the League to
Enforce Peace and then hold this
new venture to its announced course,
that militarism, wars and imperial
ism in all forms may no longer oc-

WHY NOT MAKE ALL
WEAR THEIR MASKS

There are people riding on Inter-
urban cars who refuse to wear masks
because they think it's foolish or un-
necessary and Josh" others who are
observing the sanitary regulations.
Smart Alecks," so to speak. Many
such have been seen on the Snoho-
mish lnterurban. Men congregate in
hotel lobbies without masks. There
are other instances of "wise guys"
ignoring the health boards order.
There are lot of wise people in
this world of the kind who employ
physician and then do the opposite
of what the doctor orders.
If there is anybody who is unable
to buy or otherwise obtain a mask
he should be given one, and if he
can buy and wear mask and doesn't
do it he should be compelled to take
a walk with a policeman.

THE GERMANS HAVE
CHANGED THEIR MIND

Among other humorous twists of
the efficient" German mind was the
belief that the war for which prepa-
rations had been made for decades
could be carried on at a profit"
"Six weeks to Paris and a billion
dollars indemnity" said the Kaiser,
"and half the north of France an
neXed."
Then not more than three months

lars indemnity, with most of South
western Russia added to our soil"

what few billions he will accumu-

German bankers, wont to discourse
profoundly of victories of profit"
rated 1871 as reasonably profit
able" adventure.
In August, 1914, they doubtless ex-
pected a return for Germany of at
least 1000 per cent. In June, 1918,
they rubbed their hands delightedly
over equally bright prospects.
Then, such was the fickleness of
fate, they were talking with infan-
tile seriousness of a victory "at
par"
What Germany will get is becom-
ing more clear every day.
When the full tide of Americas
war strength set toward France earlv
last summer, German hopes began
their last ebb.
Now, since Germany's allies, Tur-
key, Bulgaria and Austria have
;apitulated, the Germans are figur-
