CONGRESS PULLS MASK
FROM SECURITY LEAGUE.

The congressional probe now being
conducted at Washington is tearing
the mask from the National Security
League. Its president. Colonel COT
militia) Lydecker admitted at the
first hearing, that the Carnegie
Foundation, through it's holding con-
Germ, the Carnegie corporation, gave
the Security league $4,000 for
"educational'' work, including univer-
sal military instruction and training.
1t is said that a state constabulary
system was also on the. Carnegie
"educationaI' program. Old John D.
Rockefeller liked THE idea, too. SO
he let 30 of $4,000.
Lydecker explained to the COM
mittee the importance Of this plank
in the Security league program:
creating greater regard for repre-
sentative government as distinguished
from mass administration; protecting
our national legislature from danger
Gus proletarians,"
; I'VE are doing everything in our
power" Lydecker said, Ito educate
the people by our public speakers and
our Literature, that a republic Of a
hundred million can be governed
wisely through wise representatives
ana not by mass rule or mob, and we
believe that our people should be
taught to have the greatest respect
for Their representatives,
Let me ask YOU" said congress-
man Caraway Of Arkansas, what do
YOU understand proletarian ISL"
WELL" replied Lydecker. with
Jasmine solemnity, II don't know
exactly what proletarian is, but a
dangerous proletarian is an ignorant
demagogue."
He also remarked that his league
was not opposed to 1.-THE class that
needs help and uplifting education
the poorer class ~ p. :,,~
AS the result Of the first two days
of investigation, the congressional
| committee found, that the Security
| league had spent only something

WILSON HOLDS THE SACK.

Premier Clemenceau Of France has
spilled the beans. He does not favor
League of Nations. but wants the
world organized on the Balance OF
! Power" basis. This will be coed
news to the worlds Tories, and they
will support him to a man on such a
proposition.
The National Security league, the
special privilege seekers the world
over, the militarists, the advocates of
compulsory military service, and tho
reactionaries of every shade and color
will now rush to the support OF Glenn
enceau. He has given them the Que.
1t is the thing they wanted. L. will
permit them to openly oppose the
program of Pre- sident Wilson, which
they did not dare to do before.
BY his speech Clemenceau has
openly placed himself on the side Of
fToryism. The hope of the masses is
in President Wilson, and his program
for organized JUSTICE If the BAL
ance of Power" view wins al the
peace congress it will be necessary
for every nation to concentrate it's
efforts on preparedness, with the
usual apology Of course, Ito preserve
peace" The whole world will be a
military camp.
If President Wilson's view pre-
walls no nation would require any
army, except nominal military force
for police purposes. England could
have her navy, but under the rules Of
the league of nations, it would be
about as useful as her toy king
just something to talk about and to
look upon ON dress parade.
! The Clemenceau plan would con-
tinue to burden the people with
| taxes and debt. Huge appropriations
would be made for armies and nayies.
and little for education and social
advancement. If Woodrow Wilson's
program of world organization pre-
walls the money now expended for
purposes would be used to pre-
pare men and women for the full
| enjoyment of the liberties secured
| for them by their soldiers and Sail
! Ors
: But as President Wilson carries
| the meal ticket to feed the world
we haven't any doubt about the out
come of the peace congress. The
, other nations must come to his
terms. Their people will support
| them.

men in this factory voted to make
an employe at 500 roub1es a month,
and made one Of the loudest talking
workmen (who was also president Of
the Soviet) Director of the factory
They voted themselves salary increa-
ses Of from 500 to 1000 per cent.
every day the workmen held
meetings, sometimes lasting several
hourss,in the factory. There they dis
cussed their rights and privileges but
the words duties ands obligations
were unknown to them. They also
voted themselves the right as an in
tellectual necessity to read newspa-
pers during supposed working hours
Nominally they worked eight hours,
but literally not more than four and
half day. But they paid them
selves for all time spent in meetings,
reading newspapers and loafing. The
funds they obtained by rifling the
factory vaults, and when they were
empty, they went to Hoops house
and to the banks where he kept his
private account, and under threat Of
using arms, they seized about 1000
900 roubles.
''This is typical instance of what
has happened everywhere in Russia
Under Bolshevik power. Many OF the
technical staff Of the factories were
killed on the charge Of their being
'bourgeoisie.' Many other admins
traitors, experts. foremen and others
fled Still others of the technical

to go to the factories. and if they re-
fused were shot on the spot. Hun
dreds upon hundreds. yes thousands
have been shot without trial.
Leaders Don't Lead.
ITO the outside world the DEGREES
issued by Lenine and Trotzky may
seem to represent something. They
don't. The workmen don't recognize
Lenine and TrotzKy unless they want
to They are not sure Of Lenine and
Trotzky. They recognize only their
Soviet, and If they don't like it they
set up another. 1t is armed anarchy
There is less freedom of speech
than under the car. Only Bolshevik
papers are allowed. There is no free
dom of assemblage whatever. Mere
ly suspicion brings death at once"
OF the results of Bolshevik con-
troll in the large industrial plants in
Petrograd and Moscow, Lieutenant
Boris Brasol' of ths Russian army.
and now connected with the u. S.
War Trade board at New York City,
gave these facts:
"The Oboukhovsky Steel works
near Petrograd were owned by the
Russian government. and run by the
navy department. This plant manu-
featured guns, .armor~and munitions,
and covered about 500 acres. Before
the war it employed 1000 men. After

700 to 500 roubles month for an
to h-hour day. With few excep-
lions the members of the technical
staff were paid lower salaries than
the average mechanics wages.
In the Oboukhovsky steel plant
each of about 20 shops elected their
own delegates. There was no sys
tenn at all about it. Representation
was not based upon the number OF
men in each shop. A small shop
would have a larger representation
than a large shop, and elections were
disorderly. Only in exceptional cases
were actual workingmen elected.
Technicians Ridiculed.
The immediate result was thai
when the technical staff gave in
structlons as to how to produce the
pest steel or pointe out how some
other improvement could be made,
the workmen replied that they would
hold a meeting and decide as to
whether instructions as to the method
OF work were right. If the technical
engineer pointed out that by holding
meetings IN work hours the workmen
were delaying output, they would
exclaim, Look how he is asitatina
against u.s. At once work would be
abandoned and a noisy meeting begun.
After a long discussion the meeting
would decide that the orders given
py the technical staff didn't agree
with the interests Of the workers and
should be refused. The same thing
happened in every shop
within four months the workers
In the Oboukhovsky plant alone had
received, under different titles, from
the navy department an increase in
their pay Of 100000 roubles. Dur
ing these same four months their
efficiency was, at very conserva-
tive estimate, cut down 80 per cent.
Their endless discussions, meetings
ana professions were partly one
cause. Drunkenness was another,
Tor Notwithstanding the prohibition
or vodka. that fiery liquor is being
privately manufactured, and is all the
more effective because Of the scar
city Of food. And Of course, by refus-
ing to follow the Instructions of the
technical staff the machinery fast
went to pieces.
Since November, 1917. a large
number of the technical staffs of all
factories have been imprisoned or
murdered. Others fled. Thousands
upon thousands We're put in prison
or slain. On the one day that the
Bolsheviki murdered $500 intellect
>uals,' many Of whom were members
of industrial technical staffs. In Dec
ember, 1917, all operations at the
Oboukhovsky steel works were dis
continued. But the Bolshevik govern
ment still kept paying the workmen's
wages, and it has supplied them with
foodstuffs. The men refused to work
on the ground that the war was
