the various other stunts and field
sports projected for the summer.
The clubrooms have been repaired
and re-painted, and tonight will be
given the first big dance and enter
tainment. The rooms are on Column

be get-together, get-acquainted at

good times to come.
The shipyard band is being aug
mented every day by the addition Of
good musical talent, and the prac-
tice at the noon hour is greatly en-
joyed by the men.
The athletic club will be exclusive
in that no one but employees of the
shipyards are privileged to join.
Under the present management It
is a pleasure to count oneself as Of

our friend, the editor of the daily

F. E. Waters, one of the old ship

misfortune to fall from one staging

died from his injuries.

eventually engage every Olympian.

NOT IN PROPER BALANCE.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
says that there should be "equipoise"
between the two methods of financing
the war-bonds and taxation; that
this "equipoise" is not in effect at
this time. because there are too
many bonds and too little taxation;
and that there must be more taxa
ton.
No doubt Mr.. McAdoo is correct
but it will be necessary to use
stronger term than 'equipoise" If he
expects a rise from our lawmakers.
Likewise, the average well-to-do cit
izen would rather give up a gill of
his own blood than to let loose of
dollar in taxes. He knows, of course,
that each bond must eventually be
liquidated through taxation, yet the
promises to pay are much more sat
isfying. because Jim hopes, by some
turn of fortune. to shift the burden
of payment to James and vice versa

challenge of this character will de-
stroy the cooperative spirit of the
workmen of our country and thus re-
tard rather than accelerate our nee
essary industrial activities in the con-
duct of a successful war.
"Depriving workmen of their in
herent and constitutional rights can
have no other effect than to create
in intensified form the spirit engen-
dered and developed by those who
covertly desire to see the issues of
this war result in failure. 1t is my
earnest hope that no legislation will
be enacted that will retard the sue
cessful prosecution of the undertake
ing in which we are now engaged.
and I sincerely trust that in the final
determination of this bill either it
will remain in the form reported by
the conferees, or that both the Can
non amendment and section be
stricken from It,"

PRESIDENT CHECKS OUR MILITIA
RISTIC FRIENDS.

Reactionaries in congress were
given a severe jolt last week, when
President Wilson served notice upon
them that he would not approve the
Chamberlain bill to transfer to the
army jurisdiction over prosecutions
of persons arrested for sedition. Pres
dent Wilson said that the proposed
law would be unconstitutional and
would place this country on a par
with its enemies.
It is apparent to everyone that an
attempt is being made, under the
cloak of patriotism, to fasten upon
the United States policy of govern
ment akin to that Of Germany. The
kept press and reactionary politicians
are working overtime to create a
reign of terror in order that vicious
legislation may be put over under
the claim of government necessity.
Unless the progressives Of this state
wake up, legislation along the lines
of the Chamberlain bill will be enact
ed into law by the legislature which
convenes this coming winter. Sec
rotary of State Howell has received
a copy of a Texas law, according to
newspapers reports, and this law will
be used as the groundwork OF bill
to curb free speech and pernicious
activity by labor unions. There Is
but one way to head the program now
being prepared-the electors must
lay lot of crooked politicians In the
political boneyard.

PAUL, JUNE 10.

Secretary Morrison, of the Ameri

out the call for the 1918 Federation
convention, which will be held in St.
Paul, beginning Monday, June 10.
The Federation executive council
says:
1T is, of course, entirely unneces-
sary here to enumerate all the impor-
tant subjects with which our forth
coming. convention will concern
itself, but the reminder is not at all
amiss that every effort must be made
to broaden the field and means for
the organization of the yet morgan
lied workers, to strive to bring about
more effectually than ever better
day in the lives and homes of the
toilers, to defend and maintain by
every honorable means in our power
the right to organize for our common
defense and advancement, for the ex-
ercise of our normal and constitu-
tional activities to protect and pro-
mote the rights and interests of the
workers; to assert at any risk the
equal rights before the law of every
worker with every other citizen; to
aid our fellow-workers against the
effort to entangle the workers in the
meshes of litigation before the courts
in the several states; to make effect
i've in our every day lives the prin-
ciple declared the law of our Re-
public (the Clayton law. That the
labor of human being is not a COM
modify or article of commerce; to
arouse our fellow-workers and fellow
citizens to the danger which threat
ems to curb or take away their guar
anteed rights and freedom; the tre-
mendous world conflict now being
waged and into which our Republic
was ruthlessly dragged; to meet the
new problems arising out of the war,
and while serving. struggling and
sacrificing for justice and freedom
abroad, to safeguard these priceless
heritages in our own beloved land;
the maintenance of decent standards
of life. work and home in war or in
peace times; to help bring about an
early yet desirable and permanent
peace; how that peace can be secured
with the establishment and mainte-
nance of justice. freedom, and broth
erhood The world over. These and
other great questions of equal impor-
lance will. of necessity, occupy the
attention of the St. Paul convention"

sLACKERs AMONG BUSINESS MEN

Last week the kept press chided
the business men for refusing to sub

that it will be necessary for the orig

However, you have not noticed,

SHIPYARDS.

DR.. Charles Eaton of New York
and Lieut.-Col. Gray of the English
army addressed the employees of the
Sloan shipyards Saturday, and were
given a most cordial reception by the
men.
DR.. Eaton's theme was the neces-

sembled and presented in such clear
and eloquent way as to make deep
and lasting impression upon the hear

Lieutenant Gray is veteran of the

Hun atrocities, learned through per-

while not possessed of the eloquence

what happens to Alice Brady in her
first Select picture shown at the

row, which is entitled Her Silent
Sacrifices" This is a gripping story
of heart throbs, and as the little
country bred maid who rises 20
heights OF remuneration and sacri-
flee in her love, Miss Brady gives to
the screen a character that will en-
6ure. The elimination OF this re-
markable story is dramatically real

ing, and its element of happiness.
