 NEW YORK. Oct. 3L-Narning that the critical moment in the war is yet to come, was given here tonight by Sir Henry Babingtou Smith, acting Brit ish high commissioner to the United States, at a banquet which closed the convention of the American Manufac- turers Export association, called to dis cuss after -the-war problems.
 "Nictory is in our grasp the commis- sioner said. Central Europe is crumb- ling, but the word I would like to speak, is not a word of eXultation, but sf warning"
 Concerning peace problems, Sir Hen ry said, one of the first steps should be the perfectiug of an economic associa- ton" of the A allied nations. which in effect already is in existence and an agreement on economic principles, to be applied in the relations Of such an | association.
 Frank A. Nanderlip, president of the National City bank, who also spoke, concluded with a solemn warning of the danger of political controversy in this time of crisis
 Believes in Peoples Voice "I believe the voice of the people should be heard in these days, when the questions are of such vast concern, ? he said. "I believe, too. that public | servants who have done a great task well. should be trusted. A great task has been well done. Two million men are in France and have turned the tide of battle. Some mistakes have been made, but so far as they were honest mistakes they can be forgiven"

THREATEN ROCK
COUNTY
WITH MANDATE ] / "A
Nonpartisan League Members
"Must" Renounce Mfi|iation
Or Leave State.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June Pip. J.
Connell, city marshal, Luverne, Rock
county, and c.. O. Wright, mayor of
that city, Monday prepared to en-
force a recent order that each of the
3S2 members of the National Nom
partisan league in the county must
register and renounce their affiliation
with that organization or be deported
from Minnesota.
simultaneously, league officials
here prepared, they said, to ask for
federal troops to prevent any such
deportation.
Wright and Connell both confirmed
the posting of the order, which de-
manded that every farmer member
of the political organization in the
county must register, renounce the
league or get out Of the state, leav-
ing his property. Twelve farmers had
refused to renounce their organiza
ton when the time limit expired Sat-
urday at midnight.
John Meintz, one of them, was
taken to the Iowa state line. His
property was seized. He was told
never to return to Minnesota.
W.. w. Latta, editor of The Luverne
Leader, a weekly. newspaper owned
by farmers cooperative company,
and his wife were deported. w. T.
Coates, organizer for the league, and
his wife and two children are here
after evading armed guards. They
were ordered out of the county.
Wright said the order for deporta-
tions was issued by the Luverne 10y

mitted they were not sure as to what
law the deportations came under, but
added that it would be "all right"
Nonpartisan league officials, on the
other hand, said the deportations
paralleled the >Bisbee, Ariz., affair and
said they would prevent them on the
ground that deportations at this time
would seriously hamper, war time ag-

East St. Louis Labor Men, in
Practical Way, Show Their
Interest in War.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 27.-In East
st. Louis has just been opened SOL
diers' club which is probably unique
among the hundreds of such institu-
tions now operating in the United
States. This club is a novelty, net be.
cause Of location, service or equip
ment, but because. it shows concretely
and undeniably labor's interest in the
war.
The East St. Louis Soldiers and
Sailors club was conceived and made
a reality by the labor unions of East
St. Louis, working in cooperation
with the War Camp Community Serv-
ice. The union label might fittingly
be placed on the club and everything
therein. The management is entirely
in the hands of organized labor,
under the craftsmanship Of Earl w.
painting was done by the Painters
union; the building was repapered by
the Paperhangers' union, the baths
and other plumbing were put in by
the Plumbers union; the furniture
and equipment were donated by other
la abor organizations of East St. Louis.
There are three comm odious rooms
in the Club, provided with comfortable
furniture, shower baths, pool tables,
player piano, two monographs, lib
rary of 1000 volumes, an electric
clothes pressing machine and many
other things which will contribute to
the comfort and convenience of the
enlisted men at Scott Field and the
thousands who pass through East st.
Louis.
The union committee in charge of
the club is represented on the St.
Louis board of the War Community
Service, which supplied the library
and records for the piano player and
the monographs from it's recreational
supplies depot.

ELIMINATION OF
.WAGESYSTEM|N
UNITED STATES
Is Prediction Of Manufacturer,
Who Says a Change IS
Inevitable,

NEW YORK, June 27.-Discussing
the inevitable effect of present la
Dor strikes in America, yet conced-
ing to the trade unions the fact that
they must act collectively for their
existence, one Of the most prominent
textile manufa cturers predicts that
the United States would lose her COM
mercial Importance unless steps were
taken to reduce the friction between
labor, employers and profiteering
merchants.
1T is usual for many people to rail
at labor when a strike is inaugurated
to force employers to pay higher
wages. Believing in working along
the line of least resistance, those who
would avoid the loss and suffering
that accompany strikes have hereto
fore centered their efforts on labor
which is usually the weaker side, as
the easiest method to prevent or end
the struggle.
Numerically, labor is the great
majority element in our civilization,
and organization and intelligence will
make it the dominant power in the
world.
Changes Taking Place.
"Changes are taking place in the
United States that will have far
reaching effects in the years to come.
Economists are studying the labor
question from a more humane point of
view than ever. The Bolsheviki in
Russia furnishes food for thought.
Capitalists, political economists, and
yUnr1xorc roo1izo that
ent system bitter struggles between
capital and labor are bound to be-
frequent occurrence:
"As the system of slavery was grad
ually abolished and the wage system
inaugurated in one country after an
other, so will the wage system be sup
planted by some other that will make
for Industrial peace and harmony
The sytem that will dominate the fu-
ture for many long years will prob
ably be determined by the direction
of our efforts now and during the
near future.
Labor Gets Poor Deal.
Under our present system, labor is
the last commodity to advance in
price in times of expansion and the
first to decline when contraction
starts. In times of prosperity, the
cost of living is generally lap ahea,>
of the earnings of the wage worker
and in the case of the salaried and
unorganized employees it is generally
a. couple of laps ahead. Distributors
of goods are always keenly alive to
any opportunity to increase their
profits and hint of currency infla-
ton or of probable prosperity of the
| masses is always sufficient incentive
for them to advance price.
The time has long passed when
shelter, fuel, food and clothing SUI.
ficient to sustain life satisfy the aver
age mans desire; but there is no
| surer way to make him demand more
wages than to advance the price of
foodstuffs.''

FEDERAL CONTROL
OF sTocKYARDS
Provided for in Proclamation by
. President; May Take Over
Packing Plants.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The an
nouncement that the government has
taken over the management of the
stockyards of the country is being
hailed as one of the most significant
steps in establishing war efficiency
that has been adopted by the govern
ment. The president issued his pro-
clamation under power granted him
by congress last August to control
food products in the interest of ma
tional security and defense. Under
the new order the secretary of agri-
culture is given control of the stock
yards much as Mr.. McAdoo now has
charge of the railroads.
demands of the Nonpartisan league,
which has maintained that it was nee
essary for war efficiency that not
only the stockyards, but the packing
plants, as we'll, should be taken over
and operated by the government
There has been considera BILE agitation
for the latter, and whether it will fol-
low is a question which time alone
will determine.
Recent government Investigations
disclosed that the largest of the stock
yards we're under the same ownership
as the packing plants, which gave to
large buyers undue influence in the
market. One fact which shows how
arbitrary their rule has been is the
action of the commission merchants
who declared in favor of government
operation of the stockyards at their
recent convention.

Crowley is now serving nine years
for completely in the plot to blow up
ships of the allies, as well as railroad
bridges in Canada. The letters he
carried, declared to have been signed
by Fickert, were addressed to officials
throughout the United States and Can
ada, recommending him as special
agent Of Fickert and of the justice de-
partment of San Francisco.
Blames 1t On Germans.
Fickert admitted on the witness
stand, while testifying for Crowley,
who is now in prison on McNeils
Island, that he gave Crowley the let
ter, knowing that he was employed by
Consul Bopp. In a brief filed with
Governor Stephens, Fickert said that
the bomb explosion of which Thomas
Mooney, the convicted labor leader is
accused, was paid for by Germany.
That German agents. and not
Mooney, should be accused seems rea-
sonable to the Mooney Defense and
they are cooperating with federal
officials who have been following GER
tain clues leading to Germany's 'impli-
cation in the plot. A certain Ger
man is being sought throughout the
world in this connection.
The exposure has caused much ex-
element in San Francisco. No reply
has yet been received from the dis
trict attorney. He is closely identified
with the chamber of commerce and
the Manufacturers association.
For MONEYS Defense.
The organized labor movement of
the entire world has united for the
defense of Tom Mooney.
During the past week messages of
encouragement have reached the In
ternational Workers Defense league
of San Francisco, including a few
from Dublin, Ireland; Sydney, New
South Wales; London, Eng; Anchor
age, Alaska and from Joseph F. VAL
.entine, president of the Molders' In
ternational union Of which Tom
Mooney has been a member for al
most a score of years.

"An we need to do" he contin-

PRIORITY RULE
War Industries Board NAV ADOPT
Plan to Safeguard
Government.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-As a
sort of corollary to the official state
ment by President Wilson directing
that the recruiting of labor after Aug.
l be done only through the United
States employment service of the de-
partment of labor, is the proposition
that the priorities committee of the
war industries board may deal with
labor as it does with other commodi-
ties and establish priority for govern
ment workers over that of private en-
ployers, as it has done in the mat
ter of steel, for instance.
While this has not been officially
announced, it is under consideration,
and as soon as the details are COM
pleted and the needs of the govern
ment determined, this important part
Of the war labor program will be
made public More and more all de-
partments of the government con-
cerned in war production are coming
to consider labor as the central ia ctor.
Fuel, food and raw materials pre-
sent problems of difficulty, but they
are easily solved in comparison with
labor, which is related to all the
others, but has it's own peculiar
phases to be reckoned with.
AS the draft removes more and
more of the working men, and the de-
velopment of war machinery demands
more workers. the adjustment be-
comes increasingly difficult and i'm
portant.
It is because of these conditions
that in the near future every en-
ployer in the country will have to
wait upon the governments needs
and be satisfied with the men that it
does not require, this to be deter
mined by the War Industries board.

United States Will
Determine Course in
Russia By Next Fall

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The
coming fall will see the United
States and the allies determine on
their course in Russia.
President Wilson is determined to
save Russia from Germany. He is
equally committed to hold up any
action until the allied powers have
determined on policy of aid which
will stick. He will not be hurried
into sending American troops or
money into the country, nor will he
sanction Japanese intervention
until a careful program has been
mapped out.
President Wilson is reported to
believe that upon the settlement of
the Russian problem as much as on
a military triumph on the western
front depends American and allied
victory in the war.
But the president believes the
final formation of Russian tlicy
must await the end of the present
west front drive.
One plan considered in connec-
ton with proposed help embraces
generous mixture of military.
economic and psychological aid.
This would include a small force of
troops for Russian service. to be
allowed closely by il commission
which would assist the Russians in
stabilizing their government. Sim
ultaneously, large number of
Americans would go to Russia to
enter business and agricultural life
to spend money freely and to spread
the doctrine of American friendship
among the people.
