The Demand for q Roundup

Here are the steps which THE
Boston Transcript declares should
be undertaken:
what in view of these facts and
indications. is the duty of the public
authcriticso 1t is to make the utmost
possible use, and immediately of the
reprcssive powers that exist in the
laws new and old; to round up at
once all the known Bolshevsts; to
hold them where ground of suspicion
exists; to investigate the occurrences
TO the very bottom; and promptly to
lepovt all men and women whose ut
tcrances and acts point them out as
capable CT either committing, encour-
aging or executing such crimes. 1t is
evident. in the exceeding little that
has been done toward apprehending
the authors of the mail bomb plot
OF April so, that the national au-
thorities are weak along this line
The Department of Justice has accom-
plished nothing, apparently, except to
attract the cnnity Of the anarchists
TO its head. and this enmity may rest
partly on German grounds.
But if the federal authorities are
deficient, that is no sign that the state
authorities should be- The attempts
were committed under their jursdic-
ton. The local police know the re-
sorts OF these disturbers. These peo-
pie hold their meetings and dcnounce
the law almost every night. They have
public meeting scheduled at this mo-
ment. Let our locoal authorities take
instant advantage of the law anow on
the status books. The stream Of dis
order should be checked at its very
source. If few "parlor' Bolshevists
a*o caught, so much the better.

The Vancouver Sun" observes:
Senator Gideon Robertson is a man
whose sympathies with the cause of
organized labor are beyond question.
For that reason his condemnation of
those responsible for the Winnipeg
strike comes with great force When
he declares the outbreak to be without
justification, the argument IS closed.

~ raQlcal forces have met
some severe setbacks dur
ing the week and the effort to unite
labor into Zone Big Union" has
largely failed.
Canadian opinion has come gen
orally to the view that the whole
effort, however lacking in disorder
as compared with many previous
strikes, is a demonstration of the
Red forces seeking to undermine
union labor in the Dominion.
While the strikes in some of the
affected centres, especially Winni-
peg, continue in desperation, the
movement has lost much of its first
enthusiasm. In Toronto the strik-
ing labor unions have accepted the
proposal of the Metal Trades Coun-
Gil to return to work. The strike
movement never was as extensive
there as at Winnipeg, and the soil
darity relied upon by the leaders
proved to be non-existent
The outstanding events of the
week are:
The Toronto strike has ended.
1T Winnipeg
Premier Norris of Manitoba and
his Cabinet were requested to re-
sign by speakers of the delegation
Of returned soldiers, strikers and
strike sympathizers, who took pos
session Of the Provincial Legislative
Chamber at Winnipeg for the third
time. Premier Norris told the
crowd that he would not give up
the office, but that he would use
every effort to obtain legislation
which might tend to improve indus
trial conditions in Manitoba.
Hundreds of strike sympathizers
and strikers, parading the down
town streets of Winnipeg. tore q
sign placed by the citizens com
mittee from the Board of Trade
building. Policemen and detectives
prevented the crowd from forcing
its way into the building
Executives of the three war vet
erars' associations issued state
ments, "deploring, repudiating and
condemning' the acts Of returned
! soldiers who participated in parades
OH two days previous, and who fig
ured in demonstrations in the Pro
: vincial Parliament and the City
Council Chamber. The soldier
marchers were referred to as 'eX-
tremists Of the minority, who un-
successfully attempted to have the
war veterans associations indorse
the sympathetic walk-out"
PostoHce Normal
Mail wagons IN Winnipeg carried
mounted police guards. The post
Office there has recruited volun-
teer force and is functioning almost
normally.
Some of the commercial teleg-
raphers who have been on strike in
Winnipeg, returned to work without
sanction Of their union.
Outnumbering the soldiers in a
parade and demonstration at Winri-
peg on Tuesday were the alien and
obviously foreign element Of the
city, but they were less demonsrra-
tive than the men Of English and
Canadian origin.
The Winnipeg police voted unani-
mously to sign the modified terms
contained in the ultimatum pre-
sented to the Police Commission
providing that the police must not
participate in the sympathetic
strike. A resolution was passed to
support constituted authority at all
times in maintaining law and order

to strike, but only a third of the

''Cleor the Decks

The conservative forces in the
Socialist party, represented by THE
New York Call accuse the left
wingers of apng the Russians. In
an article in "The CALI by Morris
Hillquit declaring the Socialists
must "clear the decks,' the issue
was thus defined:
THE Left Wing movement. as see
it, is a purely emotional reflex of the
situation in Russia. The cardinal vice
Of the movement is that it started as
wing i. c., as a schismatic and dis
intcgrating movement. The Left
Wing movement is a sort of burlesque
Oh the Russian revolution. Its leaders
do not want to convert their COM
rades in the party. They must capt
ure' and establish a sort of Dictator
ship Of the proletariat % within the
party. Hence the creation of their
dual organization as kind Of Soviet
and their refusal to cooperate with the
aforesaid stage 'Centralists' and Right
WinRcrs.'
"But the performance is too sad to
be amusing. 1t seems perfectly clear
that, so long aS this movement per-
sists in the party, the latter's activity
will be wholly taken up by mutual
quarrcls and rccrmnations. Neither
wing will have any time for the propa-
ganda Of Socialism. There is, as far as
can see, but one remedy. 1t would

Eight days ago the general strike

to be growing and the secretary of

as saying: Il think we Will spring a

danger seems to be passing. If the

the utter collapse of the effort and
humiliation for the participants are
expected.

"Canadian labor alone is falling in
