Long -winded resolutions and humble
petitions to corporation tools in pub
lie office and corrupt politicians are
worse than useless. Mooney is inno-
cent and the whole world knows it.
The convention can do no less than
demand his unconditional release and
issue an ultimatum to that effect,
giving due notice that if that fails, a
general strike will follow at a speci-
fled time and industry paralyzed

labor be opened on their profits.
There is no halfway ground. Every
possible expedient has been tried and
failed, and now the working class
must coura geously proclaim it's pur-
poses and assert its power if the
American labor movement is not to
stand convicted of cowardice and
treason before the world.

Situation.

Washington jan. iT---"When the
men in the army are demobilzed,"
said Frank Morrison, secretary of
the American Federation of Labor,
yesterday before the house immigra-
ton committee, "wo are going to
have bread lines in every Industrial
center" /"
Millions of men were unemployed
before the war, Mr.. Morrison said,
and the demand did not equal the
supply until 100000 had been
called into the army. Steel compa-
MES and packers, he declared, caused
the oversupply by importing men to
get cheap labor.
Mr.. Morrison urged that congress
pay soldiers until they get work and
that provision be made by work on
public buildings.
A few years ago government
survey of unemploy tnent was made
at the request of the federation, Mr..
Morrison said, and it was of such a
nature that "the republicans then in
power did not dare publish it, and
the democrats, coming in power, re-
allied the situation and did not dare
to publish it.
Referring to employers refusing
to deal with employees in wage dis
putes, he said Postmaster General
Burleson had refused to meet with
representatives of the telegraphers'
union.
Here is the steel trust and even
a part of the government refusing to
enter into collective bargaining with
the employees" he said. "These are
the things that are going to cause
unrest. Congress must see that laws
are enacted protecting government
employees from any autocrat."

WORLD WOULD BE CLEANER
Excellent Thing II the Profession oi
the Spy" Can Be Altogether
Eliminated.

We pray God that the next bis
thing the world win do win be to
eliminate forever FROM the face OF the
earth that unspeakable creature
known as the "spy."
In war 1t has sometimes become
necessary for a good man to be q spy,
but it was the dlrest necessity and
nothing else that could induce him.
Nathan Hale was spy, but he was
such only to save the liberty OF his
country. His last words when he
died were that he regretted that he
had only one life to give in that holy
cause.
But, there are spies who are such by
profession as well as BY nature. And
that kind OF man is creature so low
I'm the scale OF humanity that pole.
cat Is res ectable compared TO him.
The spy is person who will break
bread with you. eat your salt, accept
the kindly and hospitable shelter of
your roof, worm himself into your af'
fections, and then betray you. He
wfll bite the hand that feeds him as a
dog would do. He will send to death
those who have taken him to the
household of their hearts.
A sublime effort is being made In
the worlds affairs now to let the light
In on all the dark corners. The win
dows are TO be flung open and the sun
light let in at the door. And, when
this is done, the spy will disappear.
He cannot endure In the light OF day.
His world is the world Of the shadows.
He must have the cover Of darkness
or he cannot work.
or all crawling vermin that infest
the earth the spy Is the most detesta-
BILE. He Is the most poisonous OF rep
tiles. The rattIesnake and Sidewinder
are scholars and gentlemen compared
to him.
Civilization will have taken almost
its longest stride forward when the spy
Is removed from the scene Of earth
which he Testers BY his corruptinE
