TO OUTLAW l. w. WIS

The senate has passed bill which
is frankly aimed at the l. w. WIS.
The act outlaws any organization
which favors the use of physical force
to bring about "any government,
social, industrial or economic change" "
Membership in any such organiza-
tion is penalized by a fine of $4,000
and Imprisonment for 10 years.
The owner or agent of any build
ing that permits a meeting of such
organization in his premises shall be
imprisoned not more than zone year
and fined not more than $500.
The act will apply during the term
of the war. The senate rejected an
amendment to have the act apply
after the war, as it was shown that
1--WE have no power to pass such a
law except the war power" and that
the various states have jurisdiction
in peace times.
In voting for the bill Senator Borah
said it was necessary for the govern
ment at this time to take such strong
action, but that this did not commit
him to dealing with this problem as
a permanent proposition.
"The disease must have a broader,
more humane and patient treatment" 4"
he said. "We must remove some of
the causes before we expect the trou7
BILE to disappear"

CAN'T SEND TELEGRAMS
A. F. of L. Organizer in Porto Rico
Denied Use of Wire

Documentary evidence in posses
sion of Santiago .Iglesias, A. F. of L.
organizer in Porto Rico, shows that
Porto Rico trade unionists have been
denied the use Of the telegraph lines.
The censorship extends between
Washington and Porto Rico. To
prove that the island is controlled by
the sugar and tobacco trusts, rather
than by law, Iglesias shows a receipt
for $4.25 in payment for a cable to
Porto Rico on April "a last. This
message was not delivered. On April
% Secretary Alonzo of the Porto Rico
Federation of Labor forwarded lyle
sias a cable to Washington, care of
A. F. of L. building, but this has not
been delivered.
Under the law, Iglesias, who is
senator in Porto Rico, has the right to
frank kilograms of public or legis
lative interest. In his effort to ad-
just wage differences between the
sugar trust and 10000 striking en-
ployes, he has been refused the use
of the insular telegraph lines, which
are controlled by the government:
The commissioner has notified him
that this action is "in accordance
with instructions from the honorable
governor (Yager)."
The Porto Rico sugar cane workers
are demanding wage increases. They
now receive 60 or 65 cents for a 10
hour day, and in an effort to break
the strike every form of coercion has
been used by the government, which
is ignoring rights guaranteed by the
Porto Rico organic law.
The United States government has
failed to adjust these differences, as
is shown by this statement by Con-
ciliator F. c. Roberts in his report
to the department of labor:
"With one exception, as far as |
was able to learn, the employers have
not accepted any offer, whether COM
ing from the governor or labor or
ganizations, for mediation-while on
the other hand the workers have
shown their willingness to accept me-
diation in every instance"

WHO FAvORS CONSUMPTION?

These are gloomy days for cOnscrip-
tion-of-labor advocates who were hop
ing that this principle could be estab-
lshed during the first days of war
hysteria for use when peace returns.
The United States emergency fleet
corporation reports that another re-
cord had been made by American
ship yards during the week ending
May A. In the seven days 10 steel
ships, aggregating $4,000 tons, were
completed and 16 hulls, representing
79,195 tons, put into the water. If
this schedule were maintained during
a month of 80 days, the deliveries
would be brought up to 473,14 tons
for the month and the launchings to
328,093 tons. Officials declare that
the record for launchings for May
will exceed even that mark and that
there will be steady increase each
month from this time.

WHEN PEACE COMES

Some day peace will come. Thou
sands-millions of men-will sudden
ly be thrown back again into civil life.
Consider the vastness Of the read
justment that will be necessary. Look
back at the period of reconstruction
after our own Civil War. Prepare
for this new period of reconstruction.
The day of reckoning is bound to
come. Begin to save now. Thrift is
the need of the present, the hope of
the future.
Liberty Loan Bonds, War Savings,
the safest securities in the world, are
a wise provision for the day peace
comes,

United States Navy,
Recruiting Station,

Calumet Building, st. Louis, Mo.
r. P. Prayer: l am sorry that the
rigid physical requirements make it
impossible for you to serve your
country in the navy iR time of war.
There is good reason for such rigid
requirements, so you should not
worry about not passing.
l feel, since you have been patriotic
enough to volunteer, you should have
something to show for it, and so that
no one will have the right to call you
"a Stacker" am writing you this
letter of appreciation. If anyone
ever questions your patriotism show
him this letter. 1t is proof that you
have honestly tried to do your duty
by your country.
Respectfully,
E. D. Longworthy,
Lieutenant (jg) U. S. Navy, Recruit
ing Officer.

Weak nerves rob men and women of

majority Of cases. and the poor sufferer
fails to realize what is wrong until faulty

the big mistake of resorting to the use
of so-called nerve tonics, alcoholic stimu--

harmful or more dangerous. The nerves
are weak and exhausted; they need food
