MASS MEETING
OF WORKINCMEN
IS POSTPONED

A mass meeting Of workngmen OF
Richmond, set for Thursday night at
the Coliseum, has been postponed 1t
was announced Wednesday by Rob-
ert E.. Graham, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge OF arrangements for
the meeting. The following state
ment was issued by Mr.. Graham:
Having been appointed chairman
of q committee from the worktngmen
OF the city Of Richmond to arrange a
meeting where the workers might
have opportunity to discuss ways and
means OF lettering our condition and
also aid our government in winning
the war, I desire to state that, after
much consideration, we have decided
to postpone the proposed meeting for
the present.
"One of the main reasons for this Is
that the United States government has
very recently appointed man in this
city to look after the labor situation
In this locality, and we could not per-
feet any plans until we ascertain just
what his powers will be and how much
power will be invested in him by the
government to aid us.
II desire to make it plain that, un-
der no circumstances. Is the matter to
be dropped without some action to
gain corresponding conditions which
exist in our neighboring cities. If, up
on investigation 1t Is found that the
workingmen Of this city are being i'm
posed upon in the slightest degree
through poor housing, undertaking
or being insufficiently clothed as COM
pared with other communities, and it
Is clearly within the jurisdiction of the
working class Of our city for consider
alton, action will be taken to bring
the full power OF all workers immedi-
ately to bear on the situation In order
to bring about a readjustment that, in
our estimation, would be deemed
necessary, in a legal and business-like
manner.
your committee will inform you of
any facts that may be available
through the news channels of the
public press as developments occurr."
(Signed) ROBERT E. GRAHAM,
Chairman.

PRUSSIA CONVICTED
Autocracy Admitted In Old Missouri
Court Record.

Henry A. Forster, the well known
constitutional lawyer of New York
City, believes that he has definitely
disposed of the question of whether or
not Prussia is an autocracy He gives
the following evidence on his findings
In letter to the National Security
League:
American law reports contain cyl
dence that as late as 1856 (six years
after the proclamation of it's constitu-
ion in 1850 Prussia frankly recog-
nized that it was an autocracy or alb
solute monarchy.
"In King of Prussia v. Kuepper's
Admir-, % Missouri, 551, tie King OF
Prussia prevailed during the year 1856
against the administrator of one of his
former officials on a petition which al
legged:
The plaintiff states tnat he IS alb
solute monarch of the kingdom of Prus-
STA, and as king thereof is the sole
government of that country; that he
Is unrestrained by any constitution or
law, anu that his will, expressed in
due form, is the only law of that coun-
try. and is the only legal power there
known to exist as law"
