~ NE result Of the upheaval in
Russia holds alarming posi-

ions Of children in their i'm
questionable years have been wan
derins the streets Of Russian cities,
gaining their idea of life and gov
ernmctt from the outrages and vio-
lence perpetrated upon themselves
and their parents. Lack Of educa-
ton in the past has been largely re-
sponsible for the present state of
affairs. and what schools there are
have been thrown into chaos. In
many cases the Bolsheviki are teach
ing the children their own doctrines
and little else.
Nine. Catherine Breshkovsky, the
Little Grandmother Of the Revolt
tion," known throughout the world
because Of her gallant efforts to edu-
cate the Russian peasants, has just
started back to Russia.
The Catherine Breshkovsky Rus
sian Relief Fund, 3Sl Fourth Ave-
nue., New York City, is collecting
funds for the building Of schools
One shipment Of clothes, including
garments for babies, already has
left for Russia.
The fund has the support Of many
prominent Americans, including ex-
Governor Hughes and Henry Nor
genthau. It's president is Lawrence
F. Abbott, president Of the Outlook
Company. The members Of the COM
mittee feel that Americans can do
much toward encouraging the more
stable elements of the Russian peo-
ple By taking care Of the young and
helpless. Justice Hughes, who is one
Of those supporting Nine. Breshkov-
sky's work, was asked why he was
interested in Russian Relief. He

i'm Thomas Wants to Make Industry Safe for Democracy

tons is Of more than academic in
terest, because of his dominant posi-
ton in the trade union movement.
Just as labor equally has power as
result Of numbers, so equally 1t
has responsibilities and it appears to
me that these factors can only be
determined by a frank recognition
Of the facts by both sides. The only
adequate expression can be given
through the organized bodies on
both sides.
collective bargaining in our
country to-day is not only recog-
nized, but is the accepted medium Of
dealing with industrial matters, and
! cannot conceive of any other
method more adaptable to any coun-
try.
an my judgment. collective bar
gaining is the only antidote to Boil
shevism, which is the forerunner Of
revolution. We believe that in any
civilized community and any we'll
organized state Of society the great
est power lies in an educated democ-
racy which gives expression to its
thoughts and aspirations through its
collective machinery il. the indus
trial world and by the intelligence
it displays at the ballot box.
"And in graphing with the cur
rent problems of the world, which
are more precarious than generally
anticipated, It is the duty Of the best
elements on all sides to recognize
this fact. Revolutions, If not bred,
are certainly fed by injustice and
starvation, and the economic condi-
tons of Europe to-day are such as
have all the germs of a very grave
upheaval in them. How far we will
be able to check a bloody war will
depend upon a recognition Of the
factors | have mentioned"
Mr.. Thomas is one of the idoll
Of the workingmen Of Britain. His
origin was humble and his rise was
retarded by innumerable obstacles.
1.-THE life of ]. II. Thomas has been
outlined from his early days as a
chemists errand boy in Newport to
his election as the representative
of Derby in Parliament" j. F. Moir
Busy, his official biographer and
personal friend, says in a sketch Of
his career, thence to his rise to the
position of general secretary Of the
National Union of Railwaymen and,
onward, to a period at which he
was able to refuse a seat in the
present Cabinet-a decision taken
with rare independence and in the
belief that he would be able to serve
the working classes Zone Of whose
champions he is) much better as
an independent member Of Parlia-
ment than if trammelled by Office.

The Trend to Labor

The labor leader was requested
to say whether he thought the next
government Of Great Britain would
be a labor government Many peo-
pie" he answered, "look with con-
fidence on the prospect that a labor
government will succeed the coali-
ton government. l would hardly
care to dogmatize about that, how
ever, inasmuch as I might be con-
sidered a BIASED witness. All / can
saw is that the signs point in that
direction.
"There seems 70 be far more ap-
prehension in this country than at
home of the probable results OF a
labor government in Great Britain.
I suppose the explanation is that the
British people know US best We
are neither bandits nor robbers, anx-
ious to confscate property and pull
down the old bases Of society. Our
party is made up Of men trained 10
face responsibilities, who recognize
that justice is an essential feature
of any political programme. No
party can exist unless actuated by
and Influenced in all its decisions by
the high moral principle Of justice
and equity to all"
The discussion then turned to The
particular phase Of the British labor
situation about which Mr.. Thomas is
most concerned. He was asked what
changes in the status Of the British
railway workers have been made
since the signing Of the arnistice,
and also to clarity the present state
Of affairs, which some weeks ago
seemed likely TO bring on a general
strike.

He refused the Great Western

do more good TO the men in the
ranks. Money was not his ambi-

We Are HOnored

I Mr.. Thomas from the outset Of
the war struggled to harness the
full energy Of labor behind the war
machine Of Britain. and now, in the
wake Of military victory, the whole
nation is ready to listen attentively
to his proposals for the building OF
abetter state. For a man who has
dedicated his career to the working
cass movement Mr.. Thomas has
already made great progress, but
few who know him well believe that
he has yet attained the peak. Some
well informed people feel that the
next government of Great Britain
will be labor government. II it is,
in the opinion of one of Americas
foremost fnanciers who has been
studying the British situation in
tensively, jim Thomas will be the
next Prime Minister. He turned
down an offer to be Minister Of
Labor at a salary Of $1,000 a year
b the Lloyd George coalition Cabi-
knet, on the ground that he would be
more helpful to the people ne rep
resented as member Of the Opposi-
ton.
