Socialist Attitude.

Deputy Turati, the official leader of
the socialist party declared that the
socialists would not only be defenders
of the sacred right of self-determina-
tion in the case of Fiume, but also OF
the equally sacred right of revolu-
tionary Russia.
A message from the British labor
party to the Italian intransigeant So
cialists, urging them to uphold Presi-
dent wilson's fourteen points, has
been received.
Thirteen intransigeant socialist dep
uties. representing their group met in
the chamber today to discuss what at
titude should be adopted regarding
the situation which has arisen through
President Wilson's message. This at
titude was summarized in the reply to
the British labor party. in which the
Italian socialists say:
The Wilsonian ideals are daily
spoiled by capitalistic governments
which, including the English and
American governments. vie in being
Wilsonians in the affairs of other
countries. but imperialistic in the af-
fairs of their own country"
The reply ends:
I'VE condemn the policy of all capi-
talistic governments and urge the
proletariat world to follow the princi-
pies proclaimed at Zimmerwald."

give some articles for the fish pond
at a fair which my church is giving.
Can you suggest few things land how

CONSTANT READER.
You might make some tiny pin
cushions with your bits of ribbon or
bags to hold thimbes. Sachet bags
would be nice, too. Simply make
squares for all these articles, sewing Yp
three sides, making castings for ribbons
on the fourth side of. the bags, and fas-
tening the fourth side OF the pincushion
with small stitch on the outside after
it is filled with sawdust.

Dear Madam--Please advise me IL It
is proper for a maid of honor and only
attendant to wear gold colored slippers
with a lavender georgette dress when
the wedding is to be held at church at

Il is perfectly proper TO wear the
gold slippers with the lavender dress,
but it might be good idea to add Just
a tiny touch Of gold on the dress-a
narrow ribbon sash with long ends, or
n gilt rose at the fastening Of the girdle,
or a tiny bow of gold ribbon on the
skirt or at the neck. This is not nee
essary, but it would make the costume
more complete.

Tan spats would look we'll with this
coat, or, IL you want them for dressy
occasions, a pair of those very light
tan, biscuit colored ones. These would
not be practical for everyday wear, as
they are too easily soiled. Try putting
salt on the places in the carpet where
the worms appear. If this does not kill
them, get an INSECT powder. There
are a number of very good ones on the
market.

Union labor is well represented in
West Duluth. Several locals hold
their meetings there, chief Of which
is Longshoremen's union No. II,
composed wholly Of lumber leaders.
The history of this labor organization
would fill a good sized book. It has
frequently been stated by those OPP
posed to the trade union movement
that the American Federation of
Labor offers little hope to the un-
skilled workers or to the men who

dores hired them to load boats, paid
them off in saloons where most of
their, wages were previously mort

ously from the time d boat locked
until she was loaded. Then there
was a general loafing period about
the saloon owned by the stevedore
where all of their earnings were spent
and their prospective earnings were
mortgaged for drinks The men
lived in shacks on the water front
and were pal dat the rate of 20 cents

One day an organizer arrived in
Duluth. It was Frank Weber of Mil
waukee, still in the harness, although
we'll advanced in years. He spent
considerable time in an effort to bring
the lumber showers together. The
stevedore saw his finish the moment
a union was organized and he left no
stone unturned to prevent it. He
bought off some of the leaders with
booze; they knocked Weber, called
him a CRATER and did everything
within their power to prevent him
from unionizing the men. Weber,
however, plugged away, got enough
members to apply for charter and
then put behind the weak union the
support of the organized labor move

what the union men were getting they
demanded more from the stevedore.

controlled the situation in Duluth.
Wages went up year by year from 20

workday was limited to 10 hours.
Overtime pay was gained, and Sum
