A Victory for Free Labor

The Commission on International Labor
Legislation closed it's labor discussion at
Paris by accepting the American conten-
tion that each country should settle it's
internal labor problems without invoking
the aid of the league of nations.
Congratulations to clear-headed and
stout-hearted Samuel Gompers! This bull
wark against Bolshevism has not fallen.
This upholder of the principle that free
men of labor shall come together in free
unions lowers not his arm. He knows the
practices of the philosophy he opposes,
and, understanding it fully, he opposes it,
No autocrat for him, for he knows
enough history to know autocracy means
slavery. Other peoples may do as they
like, but he has confidence enough in
himself and his co-workers to feel thew
are intelligent enough and powerful
enough TO take care of their own. He is
not aware of anything European labor,
with all the theorizing of it's parlorites,
has done for American labor. The more
the revolutionaries agitate the greater
the number who seek to escape to Amer
lea. This fact has significance. When
the gates of Ellis Island swing out
ward rather than inward he may deem
European methods better, but not now
He IS for liberty, full measure of demo-
cratic liberty, as the greatest asset labor
possesses, and beneath the blows Of his
common sense the artificial structures of
theorizing Bolshevists quickly fall

there may be a yearly interchange of art

The Price of Bolsheuisn

By Stanley Frost

wv WASHINGTON, March 20.-Out of the
hearings on the subject Of Bolshe-
vism there developed practical agreement,
even among the pro Bolshevik witnesses, as
to the FACTS in Russia
Strip off the softening words used by the
defenders of the Soviets, strip off the ex-
plantations and the apologies and the psyche
logical, metaphysical, sociological fog in
which they. cnveloped their testimony, and
there will be left, on their own evidence,
substantially all the things charged by
their bitterest opponents.
They will deny it, of course, and yet it is
true.
Those Who See Not
Some, with self-blnded eyes, testified by
faith-a faith like that of the pagan
mothers who threw their babies into the
belching furnace of Moloch.
Some who had left Russia months before
the Red Terror began made general denals
principle.
All quarrelled with the accusers on the
ground that there had been exaggeration.
But creeping in through all their faith
and all their chickering's were the same
facts. ~~ -s
One or two Of the mentally honest pro-
Bolshevsts consciously admitted the facts
but argued the question of value. They
thought the revolution was worth the blood
shed. In some way bloodshed did not seem
a very serious thing to them. Their testi-
mony was full of remarks about the usual
events [they avoid the word murdersl of
civil war and revolution" They spoke of
the smallness of the bourgeoisie class, and
tried to give the impression that this class
alone suffered, though when pinned down
they admitted that the Bolsheviki define
bourgeois" to include far more than the 7
per cent of-their defensive statistics.
Call 1t a s'Holy'' Thing
Always they ignored or denied the rule
of terror, even insisting that terror cannot
rule so large a country, though they had
but few moments before been declaiming
about the centuries of terrorism under the
Gar And, finally, they would come back
to the impregnable catchword of "self-de-
termination" and declare that "Russia
wants it.
But whether the horrors in their mind
were great small, the revolution WIS
something sacred, worthy of almost any
suffering and sacrifice, especially if the
suffering be inflicted on those who have
risen above the common level. They hold
that there is unique virtue in lowliness
There seems real faith-almost re-
ligion-in this worship Of revolution as
such, faith based on sympathy with GER
tain self-chosen kinds of suffering and a
desire for a better world 1t is the faith to
believe that in some vague way a better
time is coming out of the bloody welter in
Russia. 1t cannot be explained except by
the will to believe.
There is, too, the creed of good inten-
New-York tribune., 1919-03-21

to be to extinguish masculine singleness
by taxes and nothing more. The an
cient world is rich in precedents. In
Sparta, for example, unmarried men
could not witness the athletic exercises
OF the maldens, and in the winter non
Benedicks were compelled to march dis
robed about the market place, singing
song in condemnation of their Stacker
attitude toward Sparta. Athens, as
might be expected, was more refined in
its punishment, but even there the un
married man was under the shadow of
official and popular disapproval. Rome,
too, passed laws penalizing this class of
citizens. From 1896 to 1706 there was
law in effect in England imposing a
tax on bachelors, ranging from IL
shilling for common" person. Later
unmarried men were compelled to pay
special tax for the privilege of en-
ploying servants.
These penalties, while frankly i'm
posed for the "offence" Of being a bach
elor, do not differ in principle from the
present practice, for bachelors are ex-
tra-taxed at present, both in England
and the United States In proof of this
one has only to refer to the clause in the
income tax law which gives the married
man double the exemption allowed the
unmarried, with an additional exemption
for children.

In a prosecution for violation of a

An action brought by widow whose
husband committed suicide while intoxi-
Gated. The proof showed that Blatz drank
two or three glasses of beer at the de-
tendant's saloon and the court charged the
jury that he drank intoxicating liquors.
The upper court held that this charge was
IN error in that the term "beer," in the
absence of evidence as to it's quality and
effect does not necessarily mean an in
toxicating liquor. The term "beer" in
cludes both intoxicating and non-intoxi-
eating liquors, said the court. 1t added:
ut plainly was not the intention of the
Legislature to prohibit the sale of the
numerous kinds of mild drink sold under
the name of beer, and | think it may be
affirmed that the term, as now used, is
generally understood to refer to lager"

"Under Favorable Conditions"

DIR. Won kuehlmann, the former Lib
eral" Foreign Minister of Germany,
says that "under favorable conditions
the Germans will be in Paris before
1926"
What would be the favorable condi-
tions which Won Kuehlmann anticipates?
A peace which leaves the nations now
allied more or less at odds with one an
other. German diplomacy may not be
intelligent in the highest sense, but it
is often skilful up to a certain point,
and sowing distrust between America
and England, or America and France,
let us say, would be we'll within its
powers. Nor would it be safe to rely
on league of nations as the infallible
antidote for this poison. Its possibilities
as source of discord have already be-
come obvious.
A closer and closer union of the free
and faith keeping nations furnishes the
only reasonable assurance against the
appearance of the Favorable conditions"
Won Kuehlmann longs for. Here is a
centre of peace. There is none other.
Germany, even though her leaders so
wished, of which there is no evidence
cannot be made over in few days. The
wars event has temporarily modified the
brutal belligerent ardor of the Teutons,
but let chance of success show itself,
and Thor will again shoulder his ham
mer to smash Gothic cathedrals.
L.. 49,
Russia, now ruled by Bolshevists, who
make no secret of a purpose to smash
democracy if they can. In Southern
Europe are new nations whose spirit and
policy cannot be foreseen, and who may
turn on the nations creating them, even
as Bulgaria turned on Russia Further
atield are the awakening millions of
Asia, who, under Prussian drillmasters,
may become most formidable in power.
But one peak of peace rises from the
waters. 1t is a union among the demo-
cratic peoples Call it league, call it
coalition, or call it alliance (names
do not matter), the essential thing is to
stay together. AS corollary it is neces-
sary to allow something to the views of
our present and future friends.
Those who essay the direction of our
national policy are blind They wish
for permanent peace, but they do not
know the way. They are bitten now
with the same intellectual and moral
insuficiency which afflicted them when
they prolonged the war by opposing
Americas entry and by preventing pre-
paredness. Such are not competent to
manage the affsirs with which they are
intrusted. That they mean we'll is of no
consequence. An idealist is valueless
who does not contribute to the realiza
tion of his IDEAL

The Excuse for Murder

There even seems to be a curious belief
that progress can come only by murders.
Every great advance has been by BLOODY
revolution" said John Reed. 81 do not know
why this should be so, but it is So"
"This is bloody revolution" seems to
run the Bolshevik mind; therefore, this IS
progress.
Most of these pro- -Bolshevik pleaders are
writing and speaking daily for the cause.
All deny that they want Bolshevism in
America
But all do want revolution here. No
one of them, though, could be brought to
name the price that they thought their rev.
olution in America would be worth.
That would bring them too near to resl-
tiles.

When Is Beer Intoxicating?

The Lager Beer Brewers Board of
Trade of this city has decided to resume
the brewing of beer containing 2.75 per
cent of alcohol by weight and 3.3 per
cent by volume. 1t holds that beer of
this strength is not an Intoxicating
liquor.
The United States Internal Revenue
Bureau has ruled that beer containing
one-half of l per cent of alcohol comes
under the ban of the war prohibition act.
The courts will now have to decide
where the twilight zone between intoxi-
eating beer and Notwithstanding beer
starts and finishes.
Many court decisions impinge on the
present dispute. These show marked
dlvergences of opinion, some giving
strict and the other rather broad in
depreciation Of the statutes dealing with
beer as an intoxicant. Here are some of
the first class:
Estes y. State, 1G6 Pacific (Okl. Or.

tory liquor statutes, denotes an alcoholic

Under Code Section 1882, DECLARING that

The Argument From Hearst

Sir: The Tribune editorials on the pro-

there is one argument in favor of this pro-

that the Hearst papers oppose is good
