The Labor Uprising

There was an interesting side-show in
the Chicago election which has not at
tracted the attention it deserved. That
was the candidacy of John Fitzpatrick.
labor leader, for the mayoralty. An
energetic campaign was made in his be-
half A radical weekly, The Neav Major
aty, was started to advance the cause of
the new labor party, and organized labor
all over the country had it's eyes on the
Fitzpatrick poll. 1t was the first con-
crete effort Of the political actionists in
the labor ranks to demonstrate that the
time had come for the organization of 2
separate class party. There were even
optlmlsts who saw in the many-sided con-
fusion CT the Chicago contest q real
chance for labor to steal march ON it's
rival parties and elect it's first candidate
The result has disappointed the opti-
mlsts and left the new movement about
where the oldtimers among the labor
leaders expected it to land One of the
"lsest OF these men, himself opposed to
separate political action, but consentinp
TO the attempt since the more radical
leaders wished it, predicted that the Fitz-
patrick vote would not exceed 6O.O0O. #
reached only $4,000, in fact This is not q
Dad showing IN comparison with similar
eHorts IN the past. But neither can it
give the labor leaders who pin their faith
to class party action much encourage
ment. The history of all such movements
IN the past has been that of a brief flare
up, with gradual decline after the first
burst Of enthusiasm and failure to elect.
10 say that the Chicago figures parallel
similar movements of the past is to say
that inc movement gives small promise
OF appealing to the great body of Amcri
can labor.
The local conventions thus far held
make IT certain that national party will
soon pc organized. 1t will unquestion.

The 77th Parade

New York wants to see the 77th Divi-
sion parade. 1t is keen to honor it in
the same measure in which it honored
the 9th Division. If the men are as
anxious to receive the city's tribute as it
is to pay it there will be a parade, no
matter whether the War Department
discharges them first or not.
1t would add greatly to the dramatic
quality and significance of the review if
the returning troops carried muskets
and full equipment. All that lies with
the government. But they will be well
coined however they are turned out
They are the real show. Our hearts are
with them We want them to know it.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-05

Brest-Litovsk treaty gave to her, and is
now in fair way toward realizing her
ambitions, thus winning the war.
The future will be safe for sno coun-
try if Russia and Germany emerge from
the war as partners-one furnishing
organizing ability and the other popula-
ton and raw materials. Consider the
weight of the great region from the
Rhine to the Pacific Ocean, with irritated
Japan perhaps joining and bringing in
the labor masses of China!
Yet the news from Paris reads as if
it is the deliberate plan to establish such
coalition. 1t is proposed to leave un-
repentant Germany strong and to make
her union with Russia practically a GER
tainty. We mediate abandoning our
natural allies in Russia and our allies
in Poland and Czecho- Slovakia. No pro-
phetic power is needed to foresee the
consequences of such a policy.

For Returned Soldiers

Among miscellaneous legislation may be
listed state hail Insurance. state fire in
surance, state bonding of public officials,
new grain grading SCALE the fixing of fair
profits for the handling of grain in eleva-
tors and the addition of TAX of half mill
on the dollar to provide returned soldier
fund.- out of which each man will receive
S25 for every month of service, to be used
either for land purchase and home building
or for education.
With the labor laws the newspaper bill
and the act consolidating schools, prisons
and charities under one board this mass of
new North Dakota law is varied in applica-
ton, yet consistent in purpose 1t all builds
for one end the use of the state to try to
correct what the farmers or their leaders
feel to be abuses. Frequently it is con-
ceived with ingenious cleverness to secure
the ends of the league by the most effective
machine methods. Almost all of it is based
on similar legislation in other states and
countries. But never before has it all been
assembled in a single state.

A Call to the Colors
tor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The 9th Division is being mustered
out this week. In q few days it will be
nothing but memory-a glorious memory,
nothing more. Who, then, will take the
places Of these veteran National Guards
men? They have done their duty. Who
will take up their work where they leave
it of?
few of these men will come back to
their old organizations. The city regiments
the 69th, 7th, 18th, the list and 22d and
the other units-all expect to get some of
their old members back. But these will
not be enough The Guard must recruit
many more. Young men with good Amer-
can fight in them are needed-men ready to
do or die if need be for home and country
men TO carry on the work and live up to
the traditions of the famous old regiments
That supplied the men for the 9th Divi-
sion.
The list Regiment is recruiting now. 1t
wants clean-cut, clear-headed young Ameri-
cans, full of pep" and patriotism, to drill
and train and learn to shoot-to prepare
themselves for any emergency A few
hours week are all that will be required;
minimum age is eighteen years; plenty of
chance for promotion; famous athic.:-
trainers and directors care for the physical
welfare of ali men under their training
man will get more out of this than he re-
alizes-confidence knowledge correct bear
ing, physical strength, ability to shoot
straight and other benefits
If any reader of this letter would like
more information I'll be very glad to talk it
over with him in L Company room, fist
Regiment Armory, Thirty-fourth Street and
Park Avenue, on THURSDAY or Friday night.

ably make close working alliance with
the Nonpartisan League But as the
situation stands at present the labor ele-
ments have not much spontaneous upris-
ing to build on. The idea of a separate
labor party, imported from Great Brit
ain, has developed no more response
among American workmen than has the
British labor programme, promulgated
with much ability and generously adver-
tised in this country by the radical press.
