Hearings Platform
Rouses Socialists
To Frenzied Yells

Scott Nearing, nominee for Congress
on the Socialist ticket and under indict-
ment by q Federal Grand Jury, pre-
sented his platform last night at a So
clallst ratlilcation meeting al Webster

Among the propositions which would

Of banks. mines, railroads, factories
and all industries and resources by
workmen, with the slogan. "Sef gov
ernment for the producers, a steady lob
for the parasites" and promise of
opposition to the administration.
his avowal Of his principles created
the greatest enthusiasm. There was a
crowd of at least 700 or 500 men and
women in the hall. They leapcd to
their feet with yells and stamping
when Nearing demanded recognition
for the Trotzky government. For sew
eral minutes the speaker was unable
to continue, while his audience madly
cheered the Red regime.
There was a repetition of the uproar
when Nearing revealed his plan for i'm
mediate peace negotiations, which he
elaborated by demanding passports for
American Socialists who might de
eide to go TO one of the hostile coun-
tries and start the negotiations. The
applause was not quite so vociferous as
the tribute to Trotzky, but it was large
and sustained.
Nearing pledged himself to oppose
the Administration because Of the use
of the campaign slogan Gle kept us
cut of war; because Of the passage of
the espionage act, because of the CON
viction of |. W W leaders, to whom
he referred as the radical wing Of
American labor; because the govern
ment had "sided with Russian business
against Russian workers." and because,
he said. after declaring for "open di-
plomacy' the government had resorted
to secret diplomacy in the negotia-
tons leading up to the "invasion of
Russia"

Women Entitled
To Mems Wages,
Says B. M. Baruch
Must Fill Soldiers Places
in Industry and Should
Get Same Pay
Special Dispatch 70 The T,ibane

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL. "Woman
power will have to be used more and
more to take up the slack in industry
by the new man-power act to make it
possible for the nation to fulfil its war
programme" said Bernard NJ. Baruch.
chairman of the War Industries Board,
to-day.
The tendency in all lines of work
is to throw down the bars and to urge
women TO take employment wherever
the opportunity exists. This tendency
has been growing III the last few
months to such an extent that it was
practically universal even before the
rev selectve draft law was passed.
'No formula has yet been devised for
the influx of women into industry. The
direct plan hes with the Employment
Bureau of tho Labor Department. All
the essential economic elements in
Nolved in our wartime needs are CO.
crdinated and looked out for in their
respective departments. OF these essen
ual elements capital, labor fuel, trans
rortation. material and facilities. the
greatest pressure is in man power"
Mr. Batuch estimates that there are
rom seven 20 ten million workers in
industry IN this country. These figures
ncINde those engaged in factory
WORK, oy tar the greater part of them
neing men. Consequently the drain
upon industry viii be severe to supply
the required draft quota
At the same time the load on in
GrstrN has been increased by Americas
war programme and the cessation of
the industries Of Americas associates.
America Is called upon to supply,
through lis industries, its own civilian
needs It's way reeds, and the needs of
the Allies.
"S~ea q large programme demands
increased man power Mr.. Baruch
continued. and the man power viii be
largely woman power. The slogan of
al departments 10 encouraging this
woman power is equal pay lei equal
worA. 1t is aXiomatic that women
have high potentiaiity in patriotic
work. How lar they may go I cannot
say But Judging by the women Of
Great Britain and the way in which
they have taken UP the industrial work
great things may be expected of Ameri-
can women.
a system Of tuition for the new
employees is being worked out. Men
and women will both be taught new
trades. for in this new draft men will
be transferred from non-essental in
dustries to essential industries.
The key men in essential industries
will be spared. And the method Of
working out the system OF tuition will
be something like this: Say a factory
employs 1000 men. About 400 of these
will be left TO carry on the she'll Of
the business, 400 Of those who are most
necessary. They are the key men.
They Will hold the important positions
in the factory, and it Will be their
business 10 help instruct the new en-
ployes.
The naticn is dependent upon
women - be these new employees and
conduct the industries while the men
are in the army. From the very nature
OF American women we know that they
will go far. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the number of women who VIII
go into industry when the new man
power bill goes into effect. But as
President Wilson said about the army
Why limit it,"

Drama
Maid Of the Mountains
Seen at the Casino
Theatre
By Haywood Broun

THE Maid of the Mountains" which
was produced at the Casino Theatre
last night. has been running in London
for more than a year, but it harks back
to even earlier days. 1t is frankly a
musical play of type which was much
more familiar half q generation ayo
Modernlty is denied by the presence of
brgands. These gentlemen remain lust
outside the door of the theatres where
the present. day type of musical comedy
plays. There are reminders of other
days also in red scarfs and tuneful
music and Il plot. "The Maid of the
Mountalhs' actually possesses dramatic
interest. We found ourself excited in

That there Is commercial value in
