MACHINISTS' STRIKE
STILL ON.

The strike of the machinists at the
Hamilton Machine Tool Company's
plant is still on and there is no change
in the situation. The company has
employed few men from Cincinnati
but the machinists say that they are
not enough to break the strike. Some
of the machinists who live in Ham
ilton and did not strike have quit their
jobs. What caused them to quit has
not been learned but its safe to say
that dissatisfaction has been brew
ing between the men.
The machinists say that some of
the machine shops in the city have
their agents in other cities and they
are trying to employ men while ma
chinists who live here with their fami-
lies are walking the streets. There is
nothing fair about this method, and
we believe the machine shops are MAX
ing a grand mistake by refusing to
give Hamilton men jobs.
The machinists' union is in a splen-
did condition and large meetings are
held weekly.

Quick Action Necessary If We Would
Hope To Abolish War, Says

Powers Behind the Scenes.
1t would be easier to talk about
this if the peace treaty were signed.
About all that can be said now is
that there are in Europe distinct
end well recognized elements not yet
ready to accept the idea of abolish
ing war, and determined to upset the
Wilson program if they can And
they are not those that have talked
in favor of the balance of power sys-
tom, either. That is another mistake
of ours They are elements far back
&C the scene but closely wired to it.
Some are perfectly conscientious
about it and don't want to abolish
war because they hope for more ISL
ahds, more hinterlands and more
glory.
Some honestly believe il war be-
cause their skin-clad ancestors be-
lieved in it and shall they be better
than their ancestors?
Some believe in it because it has
made their country great and if we
have another chance at it will make
their country greater, and what is
all the world compared to their coun-
try?
Some believe in it because they ac-
tually and honestly believe this rub
tish about man as a fighting animal
He always has fought, therefore he
always will, and why be sentimental
about it?
Then there are the others that feel
the abolition of war would be too
dangerous an experiment for modern
commerce and business to undertake,
at least for the present.
None of these,you will observe, be-
longs to the producers nor has any re-
ference to them.
The Danger Point Reached.
The producers of Europe are sol
idly for the League of Nations ex-
cept where they believe the time has
gene by for any such device and the
only thing now to be done is to
smash up the existing order and scrap
it.
The danger point about all this is
that all the elements that hope the
League plan can be beaten look to the
United States to beat it.
There is not a European govern
ment that would dare to refuse to
ratify treaty containing such plan.
But in Europe, under the old sys-
tenn still maintained in most coun-
tries, treaties are ratified by foreign
ministers or cabinets.
In the United States they are de-
bated and ratified by the Senate. The
Senate, three or four thousand miles
away, meeting in an entirely differ

Written Especially for the

Democracy
Article 6.

Article 6.
If the League of Nations could
be adopted promptly and the well-fed
part of the world could show some
interest in the starving part of the
world it might still be possible to
avoid smash in Europe.
People will pull in their belts and
feed upon scraps if they can see some
object ahead Germany stood for
ss.wdust bread so long as sawdust
seemed to be means to victory.
When there was nothing left but des-
pair, behold the Spartacans growing
more formidable every hour
The thing that seems the hardest
for US of the well-fed contingent to
understand is the intense disgust and
loathing with which the producers
cf Europe regard the whole ancient
raraphernalia with which wars were
made.
The non-producers are not partic-
ularly sick Of it. 1t didn't lay hold OF
them in the same way.
Difference in Viewpoint.
The fact is the war to family
with a landed estate or a good fat
business and war to family that
has nothing on earth but it's mem
bers are two different propositions.
Probably few Of the well-to-do per-
sons of Europe are restlessly yearn-
ing at present for more war, but they
cont have the same feeling about it
that the producers have and they
don't have the same feeling about the
system that made it.
Therefore the well-to-do generally
feel that there is plenty of time for
the League of Nations or any other
old thing, and the producers get more
impatient every minute as gray fam
inc treading on their heels gets closer.
If they are going to starve they
want something to starve for or, be-
heye me, they will not starve long.
The worst of this thing is that at
the time when the safety of the world
may depend upon some such action
as the adoption of the League of Ma
tions various high places are out
with stilettoes to do it to death.
There is far more opposition to the
League of Nations than appears on
the surface. To proposal of such
nature a public man could not very

way He would be obliged to give il

The Stove Mounters' strike at four
of the big stove plants in Detroit is

of the restless spirit that is moving
r.ore and more in Europe, might very
easily find flaws and faults in it, de-
bate the life out of it, or demand an
other plan ostensibly for the same
object.
If the Senate does anything of that

A Now or Never" Situation
Because it is now or never, this

regions, is down to the last notch

The whole situation therefore rests
with US, just as the ending of the war
rested with us and the preserving of

that we shall deny ourselves some

at Detroit have done everything with
in their power to bring about an
amicable adjustment, even to the ex-
tent of having a conciliator of the
United States Department of Labor
try to effect an adjustment. which the
above named firms have refused to
consider; therefore be it
Resolved, that this, the Thirty
eighth Convention of the American
Federation Of Labor, declare that the
action of the stove manufacturers of
the city of Detroit, Michigan, is not
in accord with the spirit of the times
when all fair minded concerns are con-
ceding the right of workmen to or
ganize, and are recognizing the jus
tice Of paying wage increases equal
to advances granted by competitors;
and, be it further
Resolved, that the American FEEDER

the Detroit Stove Works, all of which
plants are located at Detroit, Mich
The committee recommends that
the above resolution be referred to the
Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor with instructions
that it be taken up at the earliest
opportunity, and an effort made to
adjust, and should these efforts fail
that the request contained in the re-
solution be complied with and the
