CAPITALIST ETHICS

Behind the Fresno indictments
against the L. W. w. is the Raisin
Growers Association, of which
Wylie NJ Griffin is the head. One
Of the things alleged" against the
/. w. w. is that the union has "de-
frauded" employers of labor, par
ticularly the raisin growers. by
striking, and also that Sabotage"
was used to destroy raisin growers
property.
Now we find that on January "a
members Of the Raisin Growers
Association burned up 5000 trays

cause he had not joined their zone

MS week we are celebrating the
eighth birthday of The Co-opera-
tive News and we think il proper
to give little history of the life
of the paper.
The paper was started Febru-
airy, 1911, by a group of Socialists
IN the city of Everett under the
name of The Commonwealth. 1t
made great Roadway from the
start and became quite power
in the city Of Everett and was
principally the means of electing
three Socialists to the city council
before the year was out. The
next year commission form of
government was sprung on the
city and in the elections following
the Socialists were defeated but
with an increased vote.
0. L. Anderson acted as editor
for the first few months but the
income of the paper was not suf-
ficient to pay the salary desired
by the editor and his place was
filled by j. NJ. Salter, who later
was elected Commissioner of Pub
lie Works, of Everett, on the So
cialist ticket. Before the first
year Of the existence of the paper
was out another editor took hold
OF the editorial pen in the person
of Anna a. Naley. who is now
working for the Milwaukee city
council in the office Of Socialist
Mayor Hoan. Comrade Maley
struggled along on the meager
salary that the papers income al
lowed until February, 1913,
when she could stand the strain
no longer. Comrade Joseph Haz-
ard was the next to take hold Of
the job but by May he found out
that the job Of trying to curtail
the growing indebtedness was
more than he could do, so he quit
in June and the paper was placed
in the hands Of II. A. Livermore,
who held onto the job for one
month and then threw it up. Al
fred Wagenknecht, now serving
one year in prison for obstructing
the draft law in Ohio, was the
next to fill the editorial chair and
made a big splurge for one month
and then packed up and departed
FOR new pastures. James Salter
stepped into the breech again in
August, 1913, and kept the paper
going for couple of weeks until
Maynard Shipley, now editor of
Public Ownership" of Baltimore,
Maryland. and formerly editor of
"The World" Oakland, Cal, was
roDed in 70 fill the job.
On January /, 1914. Katherine
n. Hodgins took over the business
management Of the paper without
pay but the printers and other
debtors were tired Of waiting for
their money and in March the
paper was placed in the receivers
hands with the result that the pa
per was buried and so were the
$4,000 Of debts. A few days
later new paper was born,
known as THE Washington So
cialist" and Maynard Shipley was
elected editor. Katherine II. Hold
gins, business manager and +. G..
Crosby, advertising manager Aft
or thirteen months Of struggle,
Comfade Hodgins resigned as bus
mess manager. Although the
paper at this time was practically
free from debt, the strenuous
work was telling on the health Of
the business manager, and there

REVOLT FEARED
in ENGLAND

LONDON-The Times points out
the danger Of an industrial revo-
luton in England similar TO that
in Russia.
The paper declares that there is
a definite movement on the part
of the rank and file of British
labor TO break the leash OF trade
union rule and overturn the gov
ernment.
IL enjoins the public TO watch
the workingman.
The Co-operative news. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1917-1918, 1918-02-14

Thus we see the good work
going on. The Finnlanders took
courage from the Bolsheviki and
are in their turn throwing off their
parasitic master. With the aid
sent them by the Russians there
is little doubt but that they will
succeed in establishing a real de
mocracy, where man will get the
full product Of his toll, and where
there will be no industrial mas
ters, as well as no political mas
ters.
The Co-operative news. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1917-1918, 1918-02-14

Well now, isn't it about time :?
II can't be denied that the upper
classes have brought about this
horrible war They have ruled
every nation in Europe; they have
made and shaped the policies of
the governments and directed the
industrial Development and compe-
tition Of the world. 1t is no ex-
cuse that the war is or was an
unintentional result, on the part
of some. 1t is the direct off
spring of their rule, or misrule
and they cannot now disown it.
Since England's ruling classes
have played a dominant part in
the world politics leading up to
the war, they bear a proportionate
~ larger share Of the blame. This
must be evident to the working
class Of England. The workers
know that the ruling and capital
list classes Of England if allowed
to continue in control will bring
them to other wars. which will be
equally or more atrocious. In
order that the war system of So
ciety may be put to stop it will
be necessary, either now or at
the end of this war, for the work
crs of England to overthrow the
present government and establish
a more just and equitable system
by the ballot if possible, by
force if necessary.

make her . study in exquisite simplic-

AIys
I This Is the sort Of simplicity that is
far from cheap. however. After all,
real simplicity Is usually expensive. If
thing has nothing but Its cut or its
coloring to depend upon, cut and color
ing must be supremely perfect: the first
takes skill-always highly paid COM
something of a rarity.
The directoire ladies started q move
ment toward simplicity. Every one
was to be Greek and artless, and very
inexpensive; but the simple muslin
gowns soon took unto themselves thou
sands and thousands of francs worth Of
embroidery, and first empire husbands
found that dressmaking bills were
heavier than ever. The Bourbon bro
cades had at least been durable!
The astute makers of cheap clothing
realize that they must make up for
lack OF perfection in cut. and Of custom
make. by catchy elaboration to trick
the eye OF the purchaser. That is why
cheap suits are covered with buttons
and buttonholes which are never sup
posed to meet; with braiding put on by
machinery in the very place from which
taste would eliminate it; and with 9TH
er camoufiage Of ineff1ciency. Those are
the things that sell the good to the un-
thinking.
But mistakes in taste are fortunately
growing less frequent In many quar-
ters. for. with all our artistic faults,
the average of good and tasteful dress
ing is higher in this country than in
any other in the world-except perhaps
Japan before her women adopted occi-
dental apparel.

Republican Course in Future.

"I can speak only for myself. but I
believe republicans will hereafter sup
port all war measures necessary, but
will question further extraordinary and
unprecedented grants of power. There
will be criticism, not partisan, but pa
triotic. Inef1ciency and incapacity will
be pointed out and correction sought.
No public official will dwell in sanctity
hereafter because he is a part of the
administration. Country first! Win
the war! Save the republic! Repub-
licans will consecrate themselves to
such a public service and criticise, op-
pose or support, as their patriotic con-
yictions impel. This is not a one-party
or a one-man war. This is the supreme
trial of American people.

lain and the President? Well, Senator
Chamberlain has been the stalwart
spokesman of the administration, with
which he had been in political and pa
triotic sympathy. He commands high

WORSE

Senator Harding Says Mr.. Stones
Speech Rends Unity Which Has
Met Presidents War Requests.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 23-The
violent partisan attack rends that
unity which has made possible every
thing the President has asked; it will
not be SO from now on" declared
United States Senator Warren @. Har-
ding, referring to Senator Stones po-
litica1 speech Monday, in a statement
given out here at a meeting Of the re-
publican state central and advisory
committees.
Senator Harding's statement follows:
About Senator Stone? His is worse
than a tactical blunder. He opposed
armed shipping legislation and was
hardly in position to raise question
Of opposition. From a patriotic view
point think he has made sorry mis-
take From partisan viewpoint I
welcome the assault. He has uttered
his alleged indictment. Nobody can
deny the republicans a defense. Up to
Monday republicans in the Senate-in-
deed in both branches sub
merged partisan views and surrendered
well cherished ideals Of legislation to
support the administration In order to
most fully support the nation. The
violent partisan attack rends that
unity which has made possible everv-
thing the President has asked. It will
not be SO from this time on.

Cruel.

Tommy Tit the Chickadee and Farmer
Browns Boy are almost chums. At
least. it seems that way. You see. Tom
my has a shrewd little head, despite
his small size, and he long ago found
out that friendliness makes friendli-
ness. For this reason he has been will
ing to meet others half way. Having
found out that he could trust Farmer
Browns Boy, he does trust him, and he
does it in a whole-hearted way de-
lightful to see. Some of the other
feathered folk are trustful to certain
degree, but still hold little suspicion.
So. while they envy Tommy Tit when
he flies down and sits on the hand or
shoulder or head of Farmer Browns
Boy they cannot quite bring themselves
to do it. too.
When Farmer Browns Boy ap-
preached the place where the birds
were so thankfully getting the break
fast he had put out for them Tommy
Tit at once flew to meet him. Welcome

They thought he must be crazy. They
couldn't imagine doing such a thing
themselves. You see. having been
away from the Old Orchard and out of
sight Of Farmer Browns Boy for so
long. they were very shy. In the spring
and summer they were not afraid to sit
within a few feet OF him, because then
they were quite used to him. But it
was very different now
So. in spite Of their hunger and of the
example set by Tommy Tit. they flew
away as Farmer Browns Boy drew
near. Just as he hoped they would do,
and planned for them to do, they flew
over to the big tree near the barnyard.
