operated by and for the benefit
Of labor. So successful have they
become in England that in the
year 1917, their sales totaled
over seven hundreds of millions,
their profits on this immense sum
was ninety millions OF dollars,
hey divided amongst their mem
b"rs on purchases seventy mill
lions and put twenty millions in
their reserve funds, they own
fifty Of the largest factories in
the world. besides tea and coffee
plantations and thousands of acres
Of wheat lands, and when one
considers that this immense
amount Of wealth and property
is owned and controlled by the
organized workers of Great Brit
ain, we think il about time that
organized labor in the u. S. start
in business for themselves and
emulate the example of our En-
glish brothers, and we suggest
that every union man, in this city
and vicinity do all their trading
at organized labor's first store
in Everett st 1888 Broadway.
We sincerely hope that Brother
Worswick's efforts will be crown
ed with absolute success, for we
know that the cooperative move
ment is the bulwark of labor, for
there the Union Label is univer-
sal.

HOAN'S ELECTION

Hoan, the Socialist Mayor of

Of election; ut least the OPP

i, such thorn in the side Of
the p'a.ocratic. profiteering poll
t4c,ans that in their first out
bust of rage they threatened to
have Hoan indicted to prevent
tin FROM being re-seatet, or to
tavc the city placed under mar

The statement may be taken
with considerable salt. II can
safely be put down as an out
burst Of bluffing impotence. for
several reasons. First, they
broke into print with their plan
before there could have been any
concerted scheme or plot worked
OUT. Second, if they had actually
planned TO "frame-up" on Hoan,
they would not have made the mat

the fiyst blow without warning

ample warning has been given.

POISONED WELLS
(By Robert Whitakcr)

charged against the Germans a
charge which has not been press
ed because it is too vllainous to
believe even about the Germans,
is that they have poisoned the
wells in some sections where they
could not otherwise make sue
cessful war.
Yet the American people are
drinking from poisoned wells
every day. One of our recent
writers has said, mot even in
darkest Russia, while the Gear
still held sway, report the sailors
of the Shilka, did the workers
consume such poison as the work
ers daily consume in America
through those journals which are
retained to uphold the profit
system" And young Russian
woman in Los Angeles bore re-
cent testimony that one of the
fortunate factors in the Russian
Revolution was the fact that
that most of the workers could
not read. and therefore their
minds were not filled with the
poison doped out regularly to the
American workingman thru the
American press.
This may sound harsh, but it is
no harsher than the facts. as ev-
cry social worker well knows
Morning and evening the Ameri-
can public is Systematically pois-
oned by drinking at the drugged
wells Of the prostitute press.
But it is of little use to say
this unless we are ready 10 point
out some way of relief. There
is but one way which can bring
relief on large scale, and that
is thru the destruction of the
capitalistic system. AS long as
We have great masses of capital
in private hands it will be TO the
immediate interest of the masters
Of such monopolies to corrup pub
lie opinion. and under capitalism
monopoly Of the livelihood of the
people means, of necessity, mon
opoly also Of the press through
which the people are controlled.
II is to the advantage Of mon
opoly to keep the price of print
ing high, TO hold the news serv-
ice of the world in few hands,
and to consolidate the expendi-
lures for advertising and see that
such expenditures are used not
only TO sell goods but to shape
opinions. And real relief on n
scale proportionate with the pub
lie need can only come when there
is relief from monopoly of land,
monopoly Of tools, and monopoly
of labor, that is from the pres
ent profit system ms a whole.
Yet there are measures OF re-
lief which are open now TO those
who see and feel the need Three
things radicals can do, and ought
to do at once, and continuously,
to help on the day of larger
relief
First. HOOvERIZE ON THE
CAPITALIST PRESS. II you
think you MUST have a DAILY
MORNING LIAR don't take a
DAILY EVENING LIAR too.
Get along with one daily, or less.
Double up with your neighbors,
and make one daily do for two
or three or even four families.
Cut out the weeklics altogether,
and the popular magazines, and
If you must read them now and
then use the free reading rooms
Hooverize on fats. and sugars,
and wheat all you will, for so
runs the cry, Help win the war"
But II you want TO win a might
Ter war. the war Of the common
people in all lands for that which
belongs or ought to belong to the
common people everywhere then
Hooverize with all seriousness and
to the point II real self sacrifice

Dear Harry:
Your welcome letter arrived o. K.
I was surprised to learn that my let
ter have not arrived there, for sent

still alive and quite o. X. although
living in these extraordinary times
amid scenes not always peaceful, etc.
What with explosions, bombs, she'll

sort of "enue" as it were only
short time ago burning "Gotha" just
dropped beside house in which
certain lady friend of mine lives,
rather exciting, eh, to run out of the
door and see tremendous, plane on

said, the U. S. A. is in it,, Good, we
are aware of the fact as we see in
Vulnerable Stetsons' in the streets, and
l"up to date, they have been seen in
certain German trenches to advantage
Of the occupier but not the late own
ers. The people here, as body, arc
tremendously enthusiastic over them,
and Londoners (7,500,000) you know
will never forget the official entry into
the city. Hardly dry eye anywhere
and the crowds were swayed with
emotion as they saw "the Uniting Of
the Family" for it was history with
big H. All the old time-worn
grievances are wiped out forever, and
as long as the English language is
spoken, they will be defenders of Lib
erty, United and Fast. l saw car
toon awhile ago, "The Kaiser, view
ing vast U. S. Army asks Nemesis
"and what big ship brought these
crowds here? Nemesis answering
"The Lusitania." Ito the point eh?)

be tardy or unknown as to the exact
