WORKERS MUST HAVE VOICE
Reconstruction as Pictured in
 MT. Gompers s New Book.

American Labor and the War" is the title of a volume just issued by George H. Dorar Company of New York and it is by Samuel Gompers president of the American Federation of Labor It includes some of the more important addresses delivered by MT. Gompers in this country and during his visits to London, Paris and Rome. We make a pertinent extract:
 Picture land. 2Jit!i her industry and commerce destroyed and the flower of her young manhood slain i'll a needless and nu1rderous war; Think of the starved minds and bodies of the women and children and old men-think of the natures warped and enbittered by suf- fering and injustice. For decades and decades the blight of this war will cast it's shadow upon that lard. <-.
 "In the general reorganization that will follow, the. workers must have voice and influence. That voice and that influence have ever been used for liberty, justice and humanity. Though the workers have again and again sui fered from the mistakes and the wrong doings of others, whenever the oppor- tt1nity has been offered they have ever evolved something for the betterment of humanity and the establishment of justice"

So far as I know not a single man identified with it had any connec- tion with any trade union move ment. What was my experience of that? In the trade union un- dertaking provision was made whereby any grievance could be brought forward and carried right to the very top for the purpose of adjustment. It frequently came to my notice, as manager of that undertaking, that grievances on the part of the men had a real, genuine foundation. It frequently

BORAH DENOUNCES.,
 BOLSHEVIK CREED
United States Senator From Idaho Argues Against Trotzky's
 and Praises Roosevelt. @

William E. Borah, United States Sen ator from Idaho, has sent to The Con- neCtiCut Labor Press the speech in full that he made in the Senate on Febru- ary 21, on "Americanism." Extracts of this famous speech were sent all over the world. We quote from one part of it:
 May I call attention to a statement from perhaps the most famous interna- entitled The Bolsheviki and World Peace,' by Trotzky He says:
 z" The present war Is at bottom re- volt of the forces of production against the political form of nation and state. It means the collapse of the national state as an Independent economic unit
 Tn another paragraph: "'The war proclairhs the downfall of the national state. * * We Russian Socialists stand firmly on the ground of internationalism. * The German social democracy was to us not only party of the internationa1-it was the party par excellence.
 Again he declares:
 The present war signa1izes the col lapse of the national states
 He proceeds to argue that the only thing which can take the place of the national state Is internationalism, to in ternatlOnalize our governments, inter natiOnalize our power, internationalize production internationalize our econom- ic capacity, and become an international state the world over. That Is at the bottom of this entire procedure, whether consciously or unconsciously, upon the part of those who are advocating it. It will be the fruit of this effort if 1t succeeds-the dead sea fruit for the common people everywhere. It Is distinct announcement that the intense nationa1ism of. Washington, the intense nationalism of Lincoln, can no longer serve the cause of the American people, and that we must international1ze and place the sovereign powers of this gov ernmenf, to make war and control our economic forces in an international tribunal
 "A few days ago one of the bo1dest and most brilliant internationa1ists of this country-a man, no doubt, who be- Geves in 1t as firmly as 1 believe i'll na- tionalism-wrote this paragraph:
 The death of Col. Roosevelt was shock, 1 think, to everybody who loves life. No man ever lived who had more fun in 6l years; and yet his death with that last frantic reiteration of Amer icarisrn and nothing but Anericanism, fresh from his pen. was like a symbol of the. progress of life. The boyish mag netisn is all gone out of those words. They die in the dawn of revolutionary internationalism
 T sometimes wonder, Can it be true? Are we, indeed, yielding our American ism before the onrushing tide of revolu- tionary internationalism? Did the death of this undaunted advocate of American nationalism mark an epoch in the fear full, dannablc, downward trend p

TELLS OF ADVANTAGES
 OF UNION LABOR

The advantages of trades unions are set forth by Sir Albert Stan ley, president of the Board of Trade in Great Britain, in the fol- lowing interview:
 Whether my experience in America has been an advantage or otherwise, my conduct and actions must be the outcome of it, and I especially recall one experience which l had there. I was identi- fled with two separate undertak- ings one rapidly succeeding the other. Each of these undertak- ings had in it's employ practically the same number of men roughly speaking, about 30,000. One of

with Nicolaisen, at whose home she
was rooming and he declares that he
saw Nicolaisen kiss her. This he
said angered him and securing a shot
gun, he pointed it up into the air to
frighten the man. He declares that he
was close enough to Nicolaisen that if
he had intended to harm him, he could
have done an effective job. Beltz is

W. c. Davis, who left his position

naming street in the city of Langres,
France, which is now occupied by the
army of occupation. Of course, he
named the street "Minot." Why not

and is proud Of doing his share in
placing the name of the famous North

He has sent printed copy of the map
of Langres, showing the location OF

that it is one of the best streets in
the entire city. The name of Minot
avenue also appears in the Travel.

MinOt Normal School

The Americanizaton section of the
National Council of Defense has is
sued as cne of the publications the
War Work Bulletin of the State Nor
NAL school at Minot, Ever since the
bulletin was issued the Normal school
has had frequent calls for it--from
schools throughout the country, and
from the government. 1t appears that
this bulletin is the only one of the
kind that has been issued by normal
school, hence the unusual interest the
issue has aroused. In referring TO
this War Work number, the Butler
Indiana J Quarterly quotes from the
bulletin: "To Acting President VIM.
+. Clarke belong the credit of carry
ing the work of the Normal school
forward with marked success from
the time of his appointment. Stu
dents and faculty alike, have given
him unstinted loyalty and support in
all measures viii he initiated for the
good of the school He has been fore
most in all plans and policies of the
school where patriotic service could
be rendered. It is altogether fitting
therefore, that this issue of the Bull
letin with it's resume Of the various
war activities of The school be dedi-
Gated to him."
