SOCIALISTS RECONSTRUCTION
PROGRAM Is AID TO AUTOCRACY
Puppets Document Which for Measures
Clearly % Protect Pan-Germanism, While
Provides Typical
Reform" Proposals

In matters of commerce and indus
try, the program differs but little
from the typical German Socialist pro-
gram. It calls for state ownership
of monopolies and for supervision and
regulation of industries that remain
under private ownership. This, it is
declared, is for the purpose of pre-
venting unwholesome competition.
In connection with peace negotia-
tons it is set forth that action must
be taken for immediate discontinue
ance of economic warfare, doubtless
with the idea in mind that economic
warfare can be discontinued by the
adoption of resolutions. Theaters are
asked which would make impossible
the "blockading and isolating" of Ger
man inland commerce thru high tar
ifs.
The program contains series OF
social and political recommendations
which have no international bearing
and demands increased taxation on in
heritances and tares on incomes grad
uated according to the size of the in
come and according to earning ca
pacity, including what is described as
a tax on nourishing foods.
The whole program is a rambling,
disconnected collection of more or less
unclassified proposals, none of which
even approaches the heart of the great
international situation. 1t is called a
program by the German government
Socialists, but those here who have
read it declare it by no means merits
the dignity of being called a program.
Many of the proposed measures are
of the shallowest reform type, while
nearly all of the remaining ones are
clearly designed as a protection to
German government designs after the
war. The whole document bears the
clear imprint of government sanction,
if not government inspiration and is
not a document which, by the widest
fight of imagination, can be expected
to create the slightest confidence in
the German Socialists outside of Ger
many. 1t is the kind of side-stepping
hypocrisy that burns the brand of
kaiserism deeper, in the opinion of
those here who have studied the trans
lation so far available.
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-07-20

NEW YORK, July 15.-The "re-
construction" program of the German
majority or government Socialists has
reached this city and is here made
public in substance for the first time
outside a section of the German Ian
guage press.
The Program, virtually a rehash
of the Erfurt program, and no more
in keeping with the spirit of the civil
lized world, is only what has previous
ly been put forth by the government
political demands for domestic use,
coupled with typically German ar
ray of provisions for the protection of
pam Germanism after the war.
The principal demands are for fran
chise reform, including equal suffrage
for both sexes, a parliamentary sys-
tenn of government, war to be declared
by the reichstag, ratification of trea-
ties, abolition of secret diplomacy and
creation of an international court of
arbitration-all of them measures of
kind that, in modern civilized society
appear almost primitive.
The program was drafted by COM
mission appointed by the government
Socialists in convention at Nuertz-
burg a year ago. The commission
local note. Its report was made pub
lie originally thru the Berlin Vor-
waerts.
The program for the transition pc
riod from war to peace contains pro-
visions recommending temporary con-
tinuance of food regulations, at least
so far as the poorer classes are con-
cerned, regulations for food transpor-
tation and for the distribution and
export of raw materials, and for SUI
pervision of the entire German trans
portation system, including land and
water transit.
Government regulation of the labor
market after the war is recommended
to prevent congestion of labor in any
given industry or in any given point.
1t is recommended that soldiers and
their families receive compensation
for at least a month after demobili-
cation and for longer period if en-
ployment cannot be found.

Whereas, 1t is the bounden and sa-

governor of the state of Colorado, do

A thousand factories running night
and day, making great guns and small
guns and middle-sized guns.
A Thousand factories running night
and day making high xplosives-mys-
terious stuff that looks soft and pale
and harmless, but that has in it the
kick of the devil; dark stuff in strings
that look deceptive, and black stuff
that looks glossy and pretty enough
to weave into bead-strings for wom-
ems necks.
A thousand factories making swift
scouts of the air, and numbering
tanks, and rumbling automobiles.
All of these going at top speed,
fiinging out their all to the men at
the front.
Populations working in all the null
titude of moods of populations, all
driving along at the same business.
Huge trucks chugging along high
ways. Swift motorcycles, fitting
here and there on errands and with
messages from important men to
other important men.
Men naked to the waist in front
of FORCES and standing alert around
pits where the red hot jackets are
put on big guns.
Women trying to solve the problem
of hungry stomachs and little food:
Women, too, in the workshops, with
their hands on levers that start and
stop powerful machines; women
swinging hammers and using delicate
instruments that measure down to
the thousandth part of an inch.
Great fields where the machinery
of war is tested; fields where fleets
of tanks lumber around in the mud
before being sent to lumber over No
Mans Land; fields where mammoth
hangers shelter airplanes that come
out like bees to go tumbling thru the
skies and off to Picardy and Flanders.
Huge sheds where mountains OF
food are piled in orderly arrange
ment, food gathered from all cor
ners of the world to be brought here
on it's way to the ultimate consumer
in khaki.
Railroads, swept clear of most Of
their peace-time traffic, burdened now
with the stuff of armies-food and
clothing and guns and trucks and ex-
plosives and all the multitude of trifles
that chink in between these major
articles out of which war is made.
People everywhere bent upon trav-
cling in little inches and doing little
things that Jumped together make
great national machines doing great
World-JoD.
Men in hospital blue, limping along
and being wheeled along-men back
from the front; the front which is the
peak Of everything and the hope Of
everything-men in faded hospital
blue, slouchy and baggy, but a uni
form of service performed.
Men with arms and legs gone, and
with eyes gone, learning to do new
things that come within their strange,
new limitations; men doing these new
things with cheer and satisfaction.
Men everywhere driving their brains
to new thoughts that will make ar
mics gain more ground with smaller
loss.
People at home divided into two
classes-those who can work and
those who cannot work.
Men at the front divided into two
classes-effectives and casualties.

CUT LIVING COST
ELIMINATE COMMISSION MEN
AND TRAVELLING Statesmen.
Rock Springs Labor Unions Petition
President Wilson to Inaugurate a
Direct Purchasing System.
Especial Correspondence


ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., July 10
The Sweetwater County Federated
Trades and Labor Council has petit
toned President Wilson to have COM
mission men and travelling statesmen
declared an economic waste during the
period of the war. It is asserted that
the cost of living could be materially
reduced by establishing a direct pur-
chasing system, thereby eliminating
the profit which now goes to the mid
die man.
Following is a copy of a resolu-
ton adopted at recent session of the
council:
Whereas, It being the sense Of the
delegates of the Sweetwater County
Federated Trades and Labor Council,
in meeting assembled on Sunday, June
8, 1918, that the present system Of
middlemen, commission houses and
travelling statesmen in the distribution
Of the necessities Of life is an economic
waste and a useless burden carried
by the workers and producers Of the
country on account Of the large per-
centage of commission paid, thereby
increasing the cost Of living and with
drawing able bodied men from pro-
ductive pursuits; therefore be it
Resolved, That we petition the
President and Congress Of the United
States to place all men engaged in
the above occupations in Class la
under the selective service act, and
to do away as far as possible with
the commission houses and establish
direct purchasing system between
the producer and the consumer; and be
it further
Resolved, That we request the A.
Of K a FL snd do ,on state th and
out the United States and Canada to
use their best endeavors to bring
about the above results by adopting
the above resolution and urging their
congressman to use their influence in
passing the necessary law to place
these men in the loafer class and force

THE CRUCIBLE OF WAR Is
MELTING EVERYTHING

By CHESTER NJ. WRIGHT

Denver labor bulletin., 1918-07-20

So they make war yonder where
our ships unload the youth of our land
to push forward the line Newton
Baker calls the frontier of democ-
racy.
So they have been making war for
months and months. With weary
bodies but steadfast and determined
peoples united in the universal work
of making war-of making it as
powerful and as terrible as flaming
hearts and straining muscles can
make war when liberty and safety
are at stake.
And today, as they work and fight
in those countries over there they see
a marvel that gives them new hope
to strive on, confident Of victory, con-
fident as they never were before, and
SO, cheered on for the cause in which
they have never lost their faith and
to which they have dedicated their
lives.
They see the men Of America tumb-
ling out of huge transports that go
across the ocean in masquerade cos
tunes of camuofage; men in thou
sands from a land that is filled with
thousands and millions likewise dedi-
Gated to the great cause. They see
this wonder of all time and high hope
and surety buoys them up and on in
the labor that has borne upon them
for so long.
Men picture war as an armed fight
between two lines Of men. That is
not the picture Of war today. The
fight is at the front-the war is every
where.
War ramifies its imperious way into
the last hooks and corners Of nations,
making it's demands upon all, giving
each part, demanding of each a
service. The peoples of Britain and
France are wrapped in the tolls of
war.
Their service to humanity has been
their best and their noblest. Their
conservation to the common cause has
been of the truest and finest.
Their sacrifice is a call to America
"a call that America is answering
nobly and greatly. And here let US
pause between ticks Of the clock to
pledge each of us his utmost to the
end-to pledge without reservation
and without qualification his whole
endeavor in this highest service to
mankind, this crusade that we must
carry on for freedoms sake.
We face foe common to all free
people; we face a common destiny.
And we have before each individual
one Of us an opportunity to do serv-
ice to the great collective hope and
aspiration and trust Of the world in
the supreme hour Of its most CO.
lossal need.

travail Of war. bring you a true
