workmen, into the army and will take
several million more. Will they con-
tinue to keep them after the war?
Not very likely.
Unless it can be shown that our
present high demand will remain for
long time after the war, labor is
losing time by hoping. Beware, fel-
low workers, normal business condi-
tions will be upon US before we know
it, and if we are not prepared to meet
them wages might drop and hours
might increase, and this due mainly
to the iron law of wages, demand and
America will be compelled to drive
the wolf of want to the door of his
neighbor, to be driven back again.
What are we going to do about it
We will, we must, continue to or
ganize and educate, so we can stand
together, one for all and all for one,
in peace as in war. Fellow workers,
do you wish to have word in shaping
the laws under which we must live
and obey as to our government? Do
you wish to have word in the shop
as to the conditions under which you
are expected to work, as to the hours
of service, as well as to the share you
receive, commonly called wages? If
you wish this, organize, educate, fight
if necessary, for behold, fellow work
ers, this is democracy.
Monopoly is the twin brother of
autocracy, both believe in the doc
trine, at the expense of the many
for the benefit of the few, and the
fewer the better, and finally we must
favor autocracy or democracy. There
is no middle ground.
Yours with respect,
R. E. PLASS.

COBBLER TO HEAD
SWEDEN FINANCES
NEW MINISTER WAS ONCE
SOLD IN BONDAGE.
One of the Remarkable Changes
Brought About by the War in Eu-
rope; Continues to Mend His
Shoes, Says Report.

From a bondsman to the finance
minister of kingdom, whose money
stands the highest in the world, would
be remarkable career in the new
America, while in the old Europe it is
unprecedented
Forty-three years ago the services
of Sweden's new finance minister, F.
V. Thorsson, were sold by the COM
munity at public auction to a peasant
in the village of Koepinge, near the
seaport town of Yslad.
The farmer whose bond servant the
9-year-old orphan became made him
a cowherd. After this bondage the
future socialist leader and finance
minister learned cobbling, wandering
from town to town, living a prole-
tarian's life and, as unfriendly biog-
raphers used to say, sucking in the
poison of socialism"
Was Master Cobbler.
His youthful wanderings over, he
established himself at Yslad as
master cobbler, but Yslad declared
him "a dangerous enemy of society"
and did not like to give him cobbling.
In 1891, when he acted the part of
the clergyman in an amateur perform
ance of play satirizing clerical big
OlTy, he was Uleu oOO CTO"HS LOT
blasphemy, but the verdict only helped
the cause Thorsson represented. The
higher court repealed the verdict.
Thorsson constantly developed as a
socialistic organizer and helped to es-
tablish the Kingdoms first peoples
party. He was elected to parliament
despite the conservative newspaper
sneers, "Who is this vagabond ?" Ulti-
mately an authority on finance, he be-
came bank director, and the people
who once sneered were compelled to
bring strong pressure to persuade him
to accept the position of finance min
lister following the retirement of so
cialism's old lion, Branting.
Hates Only Humbug.
Now, instead of the old abuse, the
newspaper comment is "His political
career always has been characterized
by his manly openness and healthy
straight t-forwardness."
Thorsson has humor He hates only
humbug and calls it humbug no mat
ter what exalted personages are guilty
of it. He never plays with words.
Some declare he still cobbles his own
shoes-a no trivial saving in time
when halfsoling costs the Swedes SO.

TURN CASH INTO GUNFIRE.
BY Frank A. Vanderlip.

We fought and won the Spanish
war with 10000 soldiers and $780,
100000 bond issue. In men under
arms we now have ten times that num-
Der. We issued ten times that amount
of bonds in the first liberty loan. We
are proposing to spend and loan to
the allies in the first fiscal year of
the war 9,000,000,0
From now until the end of this
fiscal year the treasury anticipates
needing 100000 a week-that is,
the treasury has got to fight finan-
cially Spanish war every four days.
That indicates a money measure of
the size of this work, but that is not
the real measure. We have just seen
that one might have plenty of money,
but an empty coal bin. In just the
same way the government can have
plenty of money, but an unequipped
army.
This army cannot be equipped as
modern warfare demands if the man
power of the country is at the same
time called upon to produce all of our
ordinary comforts and luxuries. 1t
is as plain as two and two that all of
us must make personal sacrifices, must
give up comforts and luxuries, even
necessary expenditures that can be
postponed, if there is to be labor
and material enough to equip the
army in time for it to fight while it
will do some good to have it fight.
In war the only effort that is of
any value is that which is ultimately
translated into gunire on the field
of battle. The gunfre that will win
this war cannot be delivered until all
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-02-02

America recognizes individual respon-
sibility, until the whole people join in
the effort by giving up things that
they can do without, so that the labor
that would have been employed in
making those things can do work that
will ultimately result in gunfire.
The government has offered the op-
portunity to translate at once every
ones personal patriotism into the sort
of help that will win the war. Forego

STEFANSSON FINDS COAL
IN FAR NORTHERN REGION

VANCOUVER, B. c., April Is
Coal deposits have been discovered
in the far northern Arctic regions by
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic ex.
plorer, who is now wintering in the
frozen North, according to a letter he
wrote to Mr.. Johansen of the Geo
logical Survey of Ottawa, a copy OF
which has been received here.
Stefansson in the letter told of his
plans to return to the outside world
in the fall of 1918, and then go north
again at the head of a new expedition
in 1920. Stefansson has been expIor-
ing Arctic regions since 1913, when
he was sent north by the Canadian
government.
Il am afraid that by now my Arctic
work is the only work | am good for, -
Stefansson wrote, "or at least | am
less fit for any other work. 1t is my
desire and my dream to continue it.
If we get home in the fall of 1918
| hope to come forth again in the
spring of 1920 at the latest. | have
several alternate plans, one or an
other of which l hope to put through
Each of my plans contemplates a base
from which journeys can be made and
in the vicinity of which detailed sci
entifc work can be done by short ex-
cursions, as well as by work at the
base itself.
I'VE found a coal mine in what we
call Third Land near latitude n
degrees SO minutes north longitude
107 degrees west. One of m! ideas
is for a three or four years expedi
ton, in the first year of which our
base would be on Melville islaed OF
some other point attained by ship, and
after that our coal mine, $50 miles
! farther north, or at a still more north
erly point, perhaps on Ringess isle
for we found coal on the benches
there, though we never had time tc
trace it to its sources"

EXPORTS DURING MARCH
SHOW DECIDED DECREASE

The exports from Alaska for the
month of March reached a grand to-

low monthly report. March, however,

is always one of the smallest months
in the year on account of but few
boats carrying copper ore, and also
due to the fact that canned salmon
has practically been cleaned out dur
ing previous months. The gold pro-
duction of the territory is also very
low during March, depending entirely
on the lode mines of the coastal sec
ton.

HAUBER THEATRE TO-DAY.

A stirring play of Russia today will be shown at the Hauber theatre on Thursday. It is called "The F ire brand" and has as it's star Miss Vir- ginia Pearson. the noted William Fox actress. It shows the inner workings of the true and untrue Russians. It gives an idea of how Russia has been betrayed and how her real people are working to save her from the clutches of her enemies. Miss Pearson as the Princess Natalya is a real aristocrat but when she learns that her brother has been killed in battle through the treachery of some of her relatives she joins the revolutionists and fights valiantly for her country's freedom
 She falls in love with an American writer of Russian family. He is a revolutionists. Then she hates him because he kills her uncle but when he proves to her that her uncle was the arch traitor who caused the death of her brother by furnishing the troops with bullets that did not fit the guns, she becomes a veritaible fire brand of the revolt against these de- spicable traitors. And in the end she marries revolutionist.

BEST THEATRE TODAY.

In the Paramount picture, "The Family Skeleton" Charles Ray plays the part of a spoiled young million aire who is convinced by his own so, licitous guardian that he has inherited his fathers craving for drink, while, as matter of fact, finer, more wholesome chap never existed.
 During one of his reckless spells he falls desperately in love with a cho7 rus girl who seems to him to be diff ferent from others of her class. and in order to appear in her eyes as a man of the world, he drinks reckless ly, trying to prove to himself that 1t will never "get him" as it did his father. He goes from bad to worse, however, when his sweetheart, who really loves him, becomes so alarmed that she appeals to his family phys ician, who tells her to go ahead in any way she can to make him forget his imaginary struggles.
 The way she accomplishes this is a scream from beginning to end, and will teach many girl lesson in the fine art of diverting a mans atten- tion.. It also proves the fact, fully established by sociological statistics that it is lack of suitable diversion that is the chief cause of the bodily indulgences such as the excessive use of liquor. An ex-prize fighter also adds also much comedy to this un usual picture, which will be presented at the Best theatre today.

Only Two of U-BOat'S Crew
 of 40 Escape
Narrowing Details of Des. truction of German Sub.
 Told by Survivors.

London, June 18.-Harrowing de- tails of the destruction of one of the largest and more recently constructed German submarines are given in a dispatch from a neutral correspindent.
 This submarine was one of the last to leave Zeebruggee before the en- trance to the harbor was blocked by British forces April "A. The u-boat struck mine and out of crew of 40 only two survived. On reaching the surface after terrible fight with death for an hour and half 20 fath- oms below the surface. Some of the crew committed suicide. having lost all hope of leaving the boat alive.
 The only chance of escape was to force open the coming tower and the forward matches and trust to the com pression of air to force each man like
 torpedo to the surface. The air pressure in the submarine had be- come so high that the majority of the Germans could not keep their mouths closed. The compressed air shot them to the surface and hardly had they reached the sea level when the air pressure broke their lungs.

 Off The Coast Of Venezuela
Pro Ally Editor Says Gov ernment Is Pro-
 German.

An Atlantic Port, June 18.-Inti- nation that enemy submarines are lurking in the coastal waters off Ven ezuela and confirmation of reports that the Venezuelan government had adopted a pro-German attitude was given here today by Dr. Carlo Lopez Buslamanti, editor of Ell Fonograph, formerly published at Caracas. Dr. Bulslamanti asserted that the govern ment of Venezuela, at the investiga- ton of pro- German interests, is sup. pressing broadly newspapers and throwing their editors in jail. His own paper was suppressed and he esrved eight months in prison.
 German money is being spent freely in Venezuela" Dr. Buslamanti said. "The government is pro-Ger- man and does not attempt to conceal the fact. The people, however, are for the allies and resent the stand the government has taken.
 "I have documents which will present to the proper government of- ficials at Washington which will show many German intrigues against this country. E
 "I will not deny that there are German u-boat bases in Venezuelan waters" :. The editor asserted that when he had refused to sell his paper. it was suppressed and he was thrown into prison and chained hand and foot, His cell mate, receiving food intend ed for him, died of poisoning, he said. Aided by friends, he escaped and was smuggled on board the steamship on which he came to this port.

Declare Bremen and Ham. burg Will be Ruined by
 Economic War.

Amsterdam, June 18.-The visit of 165 members Of the German reichstag ao Hamburg to discuss rebuilding and the economic system after the war appears to have resolved iself on the part of the Hamburg shipping world into a demonstration in favor of free as against state controlled trade and shipping.
 In his address to the reichstag dep- uties yesterday Herr Wighoef com plained, that everything was placed under the tutelage of Berlin and con ducted in Berlin.
 The continuation of the war system after the war, he declared, amid ap- plause, would mean ruin of German trade, which rested on the basis of supply and demand. could not bear such bonds.
 Prince von Buelow attended the sub sequent banquet at which Albert Bal lin. director general Of the Hamburg American steamship line, said it was his firm conviction that the policy de- veloped under the title of "transi- tional economic system" was wiring as by 1t ground was being prepared for an economic war after the war.
 "We cannot fight for freedom of the seas and simultaneously place a barrier before central Europe" Herr Ballin added.
