DEFINA ALTON OF ASCAB.

(Given to the writer by Brother
Jack Barrett.)
After God had finished the rattle
snake, the toad and the vampire, he
had some awful substances" left with
which He made a scab A scab is a
two-legged animal with a cork-screw
soul, water-sogged brain and COM
hination backbone made of jelly and
glue. Where other people have their
hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten
principles. When a scab comes down
the street, honest men turn their
backs, the angels weep tears in heaven
and the devil shuts the gates to hell
to keep him out
No man has right to scab as long
as there is a pool of water deep enough
to drown his body in or a rope long
enough to hang his carcass with.
Judas Iscariot was a gentleman
compared to a scab, for after betray-
ing his master, he had enough char
acter to hang himself, and scab has

Have We not heard of the union

II have that. I've heard nothin'
else fer tn last two months. But by
the same token, what is this union

"what the polytishuns put on their
cards at election time to catch tn

what gives the citizens beliance people
lydrophoby; It's what gives tn scab

"And who invinted it, Dooley?"
Sure, the labor unions invinted tn
thing, tn same as tn chinamin in

since enough to use it after they made

Alliance Asks Members Write
To Congress For League
OF Nations.

New York, The American Alliance
for Labor and Democracy has sent to
al of its branches the following letter
THE League of Nations issue now
before the world is an issue in which
the voice of every lover of freedom
and democracy should be heard.
Certain persons are taking it up
en- themselves to claim that in oppos-
ing the League of Nations they are
expressing the will of the people.
The voice of the American people,
as expressed in the great war, should
be sufficient answer to this, but as
so often happens, reactionary poll
ticians must be spoken to with great
emphasis and with great frequency.
1T is our firm conviction that the
American people want the best as
surance possible that lasting peace
will be one of the fruits of the war
Our nation had nothing to gain
in a material way by entering the
war. Nothing of material nature
could have induced us to go to war.
We went to war for principles alone.
"We fought a great war to help
make the world safe for democracy
THAT job will not be finished until
the menace of militarist and mater
is list intrigue is removed
IF nations are to go on in the old
way, each guarding itself against the
others, each arming to the teeth, each
looking for what it can get out of the
others, then we have lost that which
we most desired and we have NOT
made the world safe for democracy
because democracy functions only in
freedom.
Americans also must bear in mind
the fact that European civilization
demands some way out of the race
for ornaments The great war has
laid a heavy burden on every Euro
pean nation There must be way
out for them if humanity is to have
the remotest chance for development.
"The League of Nations covenant is
rot perfect, but it is the best thing
in sight. 1t is the best that can be
had at the outset. Machinery for
change and Improvement is provided
and the world will have to work out
thole changes and Improvements as
time goes on.
"The important point is that the
League of Nations OPENS THE
WAY to world peace and makes that
, possible, while anything else makes
more wars almost mathematically
sure.
eve ask you to write TO your con.
gressman and TO your senator II
possible let every member write anc
urge support of the League of Ma,

TEN WAYS TO KILL A UNION
Don't come to meetings
= "a "a

Don't come to meetings.
But if you do come, come late
If the weather doesn't suit you,
don't think of coming
If you. do attend meeting, find
fault with the work of the officers
and other members.
Never accept an office, as it is easier
to criticise than to do things.
Nevertheless, get sore if you are
not appointed on committee, but if
you are appointed do not attend the
committee meetings.
Asked by the president to give an
opinion on an important matter, tell
him you have nothing to say After
the meeting tell everyone how it ought
to be done.
Do nothing more than is absolutely
necessary, but when the other mem
bers roll up their sleeves and do il
all, howl about the union being run
by clique
Hold back your dues as long as
possible, or don't pay at all.
Don't bother about getting new
members. Let George do it"

President Wilson Sends Greetings From France

that they be Owned, operated or reg

The following message was receiv-
ed from President Wilson:
May not send my warm greetings
tt the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and express
my deep qualification that the inter
national conferences which have gone
out of discussions of peace have led
to much fuller and more adequate
comprehension of the questions of
labor to which statesmen throughout
the world must direct their most
thoughtful attention? 1t has been a
real happiness to me to be of little
service in these great matters.
cannot Justly refrain when send
ing this message from expressing in
very warm terms the appreciation
felt by all who have been dealing with
labor matters of the invaluable service
rendered by Mr. Gompers. He has
won universal confidence and has firm
ly established in the international
articles as well as at home, the repu-
tation of the American Federation of
Labor for sane and helpful counsel. F"
The political issue also offers an
opportunity for dispute in the con
vention. The Executive Council re-
commends continuance of the policy
of partisan political action in the
national field which would close the
door, as it has been closed, to advo-
Gates of national labor party A
strenuous fight on this issue has been
promised and is generally expected to

concept of old, the concept that every
forwardlooking person hoped was
killed forever when the German ar
mics gave up in defeat.
Write today, keep on writing, get
your friends to write.
Hold public meetings if possible.
Make known the will of the people
n this great issue
The Alliance declares its intention
to continue support of the League of
Nations in most vigorous fashion The
Alliance declares that organized labor
throughout America is overwhelming

LOOK s. OR
TROUBLE
Does James Lobitz And Finds
1t, To His Sorrow

Let man go out and look for
trouble and as a rule he will find it.
If you don't believe it, ask one James
Lobitz. Lobitz is employed at the
Hamilton Machine Tool company
where the machinists are on strike at
the present time From the evidence
heard in Judge Kautz's court Wednes-
day morning it seems that Lobitz
started out Monday for the purpose
of stirring up something and from
the looks of Lobitz' eye as he appeared
before his honor Lobitz succeeded.
and it looks as if it must have been
hornets nest.
In trying to start something Lobitz
appeared at the restaurant of John F.
Reeves, 901 Fairview Ave, and when
refused bottle of milk began to
abuse Mr. Reeves and used a lot OF
improper language before the ladies
present, winding up with daring Mr.
Reeves outside Mr. Reeves being a
small man and not of pugilistic ten
denotes, and Lobitz one of those eat
EN- live, dray horse brand, Reeves re
fused. This seemed to anger Mister
Lobitz who went outside and saying
he included all those present, used
language that no red -blooded Ameri-
can allows to be used in the presence
of ladies'. And there were some of
that brand of Americans in that crowd
not the kind mind you that take the
jobs of decent, honest workman, with
the result that Mister" Lobitz has
one of the most beautiful decorated
optics imaginable.
The color scheme is most beauti-
full 1t has a background of black
with beautiful stripes of green, blue,
yellow, purple and red radiating from
the center. 1t is truly work of art.
The artist who did the work proudly
acknowledged it before the court and
when he explained and told of the
language used by Lobitz his honor
seemed to think it was the only course
a man with red blood in him could
have taken.
After hearing all the evidence Judge
Kautz fined Lobitz SO for disorderly
conduct and bound him over to the
grand jury in the sum of $500 for
using obscene language and dismss-
ed Mr.. Reeves on the grounds that
Lobitz provoked all the trouble

Atlantic City, ~ J-Never has a
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor been so deeply engross-
ed in questions of great international
moment. Not even the war drew the

problems of world interest than face

nearly $50 delegates representing
3,262, 900 members.

that American proposals submitted

Council. The central body takes the
stand that until the firms referred to
do display the card they will not be
considered fair by organized labor and
therefor not deserving of the patron
age of union men.
The clerks at their meeting Monday
night instructed their secretary to
notify the merchants of the action of
Trades Council and it is hoped that
the merchants will not stand in their
own way and win sign up with the
organization and conduct their stores
under union conditions.
Two candidates were initiated and
several new applications for member
ship were read and referred to inves-
t;gating committees.

Machinists On The
Increase.

From all reports the members of Ma
chinists Local PAL, are paying very
little attention to the hot weather
Wednesday night was a scorcher
but the hall was jammed with machin-
lists. A large class was initiated into
the organization and many new appli-
cations were received The rein
statement fee has been reduced from
$500 to $3.50 until Labor Day
After that time the fee will again be
$500. There are few machinists
who should be re-instated and this is
their opportunity to do so.

WILSON ExPOUNDS VIRTUES
 OF LEAGUE AND TREATY

San Francisco. Sept 1s-Acceptance Of the peace treaty as a good business proposition was urged by President Wilson today in an. address to San Francisco business men.
 He asserted that to refuse mem bership in the League of Nations would be to isolate the United States and to build up distrust abroad which would be detrimental alike to the nations political and commercial interests.
 Making his third and last speech in San Francisco for the peace treaty. My. Wilson spoke al a luncheon given by the city's commercial organizations and attended by more than 1-500 men who cheered the president and Mrs. Wilson when they entered and many times interrupted the address to ap- plaud. tI -
 , What the As world demanded the president said. was not only peace. but "a settled peace" which would give the opportdnity for the. indust- rial rehabilitation. of the eastern hem isphere. Should the United States stand apart and decline to give aid in guaranteeing such a peace. he as serted, there would be a reaction di- rectly detrimental 10 American infu- ;i1e world settlement, he declared, was the of1ly practical decision if the United States was to play her proper role in the future.
 .. 1e men WHO QO IIOI tOOh lOI"dTu now" he added. ''a-e of no further service to the country"
 MT. Wilson also discussed at length the arbitration and boycott provisions ef the leag que covenant. declaring that had tere been anything approaching such an arrangement in 1924 Germany never would have begun the war. The boycott. he asserted, was "an eXclu sion from civilized society" which no European nation could endure for six months. He empha sized that the boy cote was an automatic step short of war and that under the covenant all actual questions of war or peace would be reserved for decision by congress
 The president declared that while the United States formerly was look ed upon abroad as a selfish nation, that opinion had been "absoiutey re- versed." It now was Americas privi- lege, he said, to lead the world "unless the cynical counseIs of some of our acquaintances prevailed"
