"Give Me My Beer!" Cries Labor

eral strike" The Central Federated
Union of New York has decided to put
the dry question to a referendum vote
of the various locals, which are said to
represent 100000 workers. According
to various labor leaders the aim is to
make the beer strike movement general
throughout the country, and pit the
power of complete industrial tieup
against the latest amendment to the
Federal Constitution.
Morris Braun, delegate of the Cigar
makers, and also treasurer of the Cen
trail Federated Labor Union, discussed
the question Of prohibition before the
latter body in the following terms:
"Our previous methods of opposing pro-
hibition by humbly petitioning our legis-
lators have been wrong. There is only one
way to oppose it, and that is to take direct
action.
at is time that the Central Federated
Union did something, but do not wish to
see hurried action, and think it should be
by the whole membership, and not by the
delegates here. I move that we submit to
our offiliated organization the question of
strike unless the government and the states
change their policies"
Henry F. Hilfers, secretary of the
New Jersey State Federation of Labor,
has declared that the workingmen of the
country will not stand for bone dry
prohibition.

father taught US in broken English what
great country this was. He was a true
American, a true man. My mother loved
this country. All my brothers and sisters
felt the way I do. I have nine children
and during all this trouble we did not even
lock the doors Of our home. They were all
unafraid because this is the United States
of America and the percentage of traitors
is very small.
"Fear would have brought disaster.
Seattle, after reading my proclamation,
responded as though it was a fire alarm.
I am proud to be Mayor of Seattle; l am
prouder to be citizen of the United States.

Of unreason, Of illogic, of cruel unfairness,

But "The New York Call'' (Socialist)
explains the cause of the unrest, con-
ceding at first that cit will give an op-
portunity for some pompous asses to ad-
vertise their ignorance, and not all of
them will be found in the United States

"rhis is an opportunity for the editors
to thrust the ghost of 'Bolshevism' forward
as explanation of the strike. If it
breaks out in other cities, as it is likely,
they will be busy hunting this phantom
there also. We regard it as logical ex-
preston of the Indifference of the city.

turned over to the tender mercies of the
initiative of the business man. and the
economic laws of capitalist society Mean
time plenty of time and energy have been
consumed to plan for the needs of traders
and investors abroad. Between zeal for the
latter and neglect of the unemployed and
the slowing down of industry, we have an
excellent economic medium for struggles
such that now going on in Seattle and

The Man Who Would Danish Fear

Of the city police, Ole Hanson laid his
cards on the table.
Anyone who attempts to take over
government functions here will be shot
on sight,
Conformity with this announcement
n organized 1000 extra police, armed
with rifles and shotguns. The War De-
partment dispatched military assistance.
AS "The New York Times" saws. "manv
mayors have talked - Mayor Hanson
acted"
Mayor Hanson addressed the follow
ing proclamation to the people of
Seattle:
"By virtue of the authority vested in me
as mayor, hereby guarantee to all people
of Seattle absolute and complete protec-
ton.
They should go about their daily work
and business in perfect security. We have
1900 police officers, 1900 regulars from
Camp Lewis, and can and will get the
services, if necessary, of every soldier in
the Pacific Northwest, to protect life, bust
ness and property.
The time has come for every person in
Seattle to show his Americanism. Go about
your daily duties without fear. We will see
to it that you have food, transportation.
water, light and gas, and all the necessities
THE anarchists in this community shall
not rule its affairs. All persons violating
the laws will be dealt with summarily."

able US to drink our glass of beer with
out fear of imprisonment
Notwithstanding the records of police
stations, police courts, prisons, hospitals
and asylums, extending over period of
half century at least, the old fiction
that beer and ale are not intoxicating, de-
moraliing and degrading in their effects,
still persists. 1t has long since ceased to
be taken seriously by people who know the
facts. The people who know the facts best
are the men and the wives and children
OF the men who have suffered from the
delusion that malt liquors are 'harmless' -"
Not only should there be no beer,
but this journal also points an accusing
finger at substitutes:
Near beers are not necessary to the
comfort of the public. There is no demand
for them normally. What is sought by the
people who think they must be making and
selling some kind of attractive beverages
is to introduce a stimuant that will au-
tomatically create demand for itself
These people are dangerous, and should
not be encouraged even by a hope that
they ever get their products on the
market"
In the meanwhile, buttons bearing
the device, "No Beer-No Work" al
ready are being worn by trades union
lists. Other buttons, worn principally by
stevedores on the docks, indicate that
not only labor, but money, may be with
held in the possible dawning conflict.
These buttons are inscribed: ''No Beer

shoot to kill" This drastic mandate
came as the result of gunbattle re-
suting in the killing of city detective
and in the death of a gunman who had
held up numerous groceries and meat
markets. Says "The Philadelphia Press"'
I'VE do not wonder that Police Headquar-

Writing on February 8, Mayor Han
son says:
we had already had trouble in two in
stances heretofore, and had completely
whipped the Bolsheviki. They knew we
meant business and they started no
trouble.
i issued proclamation that all life and
property would be protected; that all bust
ness should go on usual, and this morn
ing all our municipal street cars. light.
power plants, water, ETC., were running full
blast.
This was an attempted revolution, which
they expected to spread all over the United
States. 1t never got to first base, and it
never will if the men in control of affairs
will tell all traitors and anarchists that
death will be their portion if they start
anything. Law and order are supreme in
our city.
1.-THE labor unions must now cleanse
themselves of their anarchistic element or
the labor unions must fall. They are on
trial before the people of this country, I
take the position that our duty as citizens
stands ahead of the demand of any oreani
cation the face of the earth. The union
men, the business men, the church men,
must first of all be citizens. ANY man who
owes higher allegiance to any organia-
cation than he does to the government
should be sent to a Federal prison or de-
