THERE'S A REASON

The Journal has contended that the
co-defendants in the bomb cases,
growing out of the explosion in the
preparedness day parade in July,
1916, in San Francisco, killed all
the ten victims if they killed any of
them, for the one act did the whole
dastardly job, and now it appears
the State Supreme Court holds the
same opinion as shown by the re-
marks of the presiding Judge when
he admitted Israel Weinberg to bail.
The court said:
more persuasive, though still not
controlling, is the acquittal of the
prisoner on one of the several in
dictments where, as is conceded to
be the case here, all are founded upon
a single transaction"

OUR SECOND
YEAR OF WAR
By SAMUEL GOMPERS.
in the American Federationist


A year ago, April 6, our Re-
public realized that war raging in
Europe had grown into something
vastly bigger than European ques-
ton. 1t had become conflict be
tween fundamental principles of ma
tional nization-Prussian mill
tarism was seeking to establish
world domination. That could be
accomplished only by crushing the
power of those countries with demo-
cratic institutions.
The ambition of Prussian militar-
ism has brought about world sit
uation which made it plain that au-
tocracy and democracy could not eX-
list together. Those countries which
had a history and tradition Of free
dom which recounted struggles for
freedom were allied against the eff
fort to establish a system of force.
So closely have the interests Of
the countries Of the world become
identified that no nation could re-
main disinterested in the world con-
flict. The fate of the war will de-
termine the future lives and oppor-
tunites of the citizens of all coun-
tries.
Whether there shall be freedom, op-
portunity and progress, or repres-
sion and autocratic control rests
with the conflict now raging. Ev-
cry nation has something vital at
stake.
Our own country is fighting for
the principles and the institutions
which our fathers expressed in the
Declaration of independence, the
Constitution of the United States,
the Monroe Doctrine, the Emanci-
patton Proclamation, that the labor
of human being is not a conmod-
ity or article of commerce, and ev-
cry other issue that has reached the
fundamentals of human relationship.
The tremendous principle at stake
is reflected in the tremendous fcrons
on the field of battle and the organ
ization necessary to maintain them
AS has been well said, it is not suf-
ficient for the nations to maintain
armies, the whole nation must be
the army, each citizen with his spe-
cific duty to perform. Some will
serve in the trenches, others in ships.
and others in the air, and the great
masses must cooperate to connect
the advance guard of the nation
with the sources of supplies and mu-
nitions and to supply necessaries to
the civilian and military forces.
Every national activity has bear
ing upon success or failure in the mil
itary field Every business. pro-
posal, every industrial activity must
be designed with full understanding
that our young men are now facing
German guns. Tits is a time of
grave responsibility when nothing is

The fundamental demand which
Labor makes at the beginning of the
second year of the war is that work
ers be accorded power in propor-
ton to their responsibility. Wher-
ever production has been organized
on the human as we'll as the material
side, and where there are main
tanned well-established principles of
industrial justice and human we'll
being, wage-earners have rendered
splendid service in the war for hui
man freedom. Wherever their ex-
perience and their position is not
considered production has not been
organized in way to secure the
fullest output, and workers, although
without power to act, have been un-
justly held in a large degree re-
sponsible for any failure.
The struggle for democracy and
institutions of freedom is being
waged by our whole nation on the
battlefield as well as in our inter
nal relationships. Labor is stand
ing loyalty by that cause wherever
the issue is raised.

who are expected to work six hours
day while others work eight and
who are constantly shivering in fear
lest another half -hour be added. Just
now they are in a state of excite
ment because under the approaching
daylight saving change they will be
required to work eight hours just as
other people do all over the country.
Of course, along with this goes 10
per cent increase of pay, but some
of the statisticians among them have
discovered that with this 10 per cent
increase goes IA per cent of work.
Despite the heavy burdens they are
bearing it can be said of them, as
of other office holders, that they
never resign and seldom die. 1t is
difficult to believe that they have
suffered grievously or are liable to
under the proposed conditions. In
their present emergency they will
have to shed their own tears"
Observe the false statement con-
tanned in the very first sentence
that Washington Government clerks
are at present expected to work six
hours a day. The fact is that they,
in common with Government clerks
all over the United States, are re-
quired by law to work not less than
seven hours day, exclusive of their
meager half-hour lunch period, and
as much more as the heads of their
respective departments may pre-
scribe without any additional pay,
and that since the beginning of the
war overtime in the Government de-
partments has been almost contin
uous. The daylight saving law is
entirely unconnected with the Bor-
land eight-hour law, which we sur
mise is the real though considerably
disguised theme of the editorial.
Note also the delicate satire of the
following sentence, and its untruth:
Despite the heavy burdens they
are bearing it can be said of them,
as of other office holders, that they
never resign and seldom die"

WOMEN TO THE FORE
Wives and Mothers Know Value
of Liberty Bonds.
War Behind the Lines Is Being Prose-
cuted on Tremendous Scale
Every Woman Can Help
Do Something.

(By ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
Writer for the Saturday Evening
Post.)
The day seems to have passed when
woman's education consisted of piano
lessons and a little polite French.
Now she studies biology, Psychology,
and all the other ologies. In this
great and radical change in the posi-
ton of woman it will not do to over
look the change in her relation to
money matters. 1t is no longer I'M
womanly to know something about
money. Feminine charm is not d.
minished by knowing the difference
between a bond and a share of stock.
Millions of women earn their living
today. Hundreds of thousands have
Independent means and must decide
for themselves in affairs financial.
More and more of the wives. mothers,
and sisters not only spend the house
hold money, but are consulted by the
men when an investment is to be
made. 1t matters not whether the
investment consists of a vtctrola, an
automobile, or a bond. 1t is said men
do not take their wives into their con-
fidence when they gamble or take a
flyer, but 1t is also said that deception
in these matters does not pay.
So there is every material reason
why women should do their part and
more in floating the Liberty bonds.
Indeed a woman recognizes a gold
dollar just as quick as a man, and
when 1t pays good interest in addition
she is not going to turn it down. But
there is more than a purely bust
ness and selfish side to the women of
this country. They have surprised
even themselves with their executive
ability and powers of business organ
ization. The Red Cross and every
other variety of relief work has been
in its detail largely the result OF
woman's effort.
Behind the lines women are prose-
cutting the war on a tremendous scale
There are millions of men as well as
women who cannot fight in the
trenches, who cannot even drive mo-
tortrucks or work in munition fac
tories. There are some people who can
not even successfully raise vegetable
garden, but there is not an adult man
or woman outside the poorhouse and
the hospital who cannot either buy or
help to sell a Liberty bond. 1t is the
least they can do
