ers Industrial Union of Australia,
West Australian Section", with the
head office situated at the Trades
Hall, Perth The objective of the O.
B. U. was set out as follows:-"To
unite the workers of Australia in one
organization, to replace the present
competitive system by one of social
ownership of the means of production,
distribution and exchange, and to ad-
vocate the formation of One Big Union
of workers in Australia" The scheme
was drafted under the following six
departments: Building and Contruc-
ton; Manufacture and General Pro
duction; transportation and Communi
cation; Agricultural, Land and Fisher

Rank -and-file movement

The Berlin correspondent Of the Lon

ment among the coal miners in the
Ruhr region. The officials of the Ger
man Miners Union have adopted such
a wavering policy that the members
Of the organization are showing a
strong tendency to override them
and to take matters into their own
hands. The "mine committees, which
are somewhat similar to the British
shop stewards, are being federated in
to sort of unofficial economic soviet.
One hundred and ten delegates of the
rank and file, in conference, decided
to refuse all overtime work, unless the
right of control over production, distri-
button and price of coal is given to
the miners in cooperation with the con-
sumers.

That the capitalists feel much closer
iinship with the capitalists of Allied
countries than with the workers of
Germany is plainly indicated by the
recent declaration Of Hugo SHINES,
the great Westphaian coal magnate.
He announced himself in favor of
Allied occupation of the Ruhr district
because the Allied troops would force
the miners to work longer hours.

British Labor Talks Rough.

bIltlSH 1dDOI dlhS nOuSu'
In striking contrast to the officials
of American labor organizations, who
are bold only when ordering strikers
back to work, and pusillanimous in
their dealings with the bosses, is the
attitude of the leaders of British
labor Speaking at the annual meeting
of the Northumberland miners, "Bob"
Smillie said the Federation would re;
fuse to work under the Mines Bill, now
before Parliament, which is aimed at
its destruction. Smillie scoffed at re-
ports in the press that naturalization
is dead, saying that naturalization
might come in another way than
through government elected for that
purpose "The miners of this country
may make up their minds to refuse to
produce coal any longer for the main
tainence of private interests" he said.
Frank Hodges said that unless some
great transformation took place the
economic well-being of the miners and
others dependent upon them would be
seriously prejudiced. The determination
of the miners that the people of the
country should not pay the las, I'd,
increase was, he said, the greatest ex-
ample of their moral relationship to
the country.
"Be prepared for the hardest fight
in your history" continued Hodges.
"Be prepared in your organization;
be prepared with your commissariat
and your cooperative movements; be
prepared financially; be prepared for
anything that may happen in the near
future. / feel sure that the forces that
are at work are such that we are IN
for the gravest period in our history.

CHARGES ATTEMPT To

NEW YORK, June 15.--Charoeq

sons seized upon so good a man as
General Wood and with reckless an
daeity started out to buy for him the
presidential nomination. were made
IN the statement ~iven out here last
night by Nicholas Murray Butler. an
unsuccessful candidate for the Re
publican nomination.
1t was cause of the genuine sor-
row TO me as to many others of Gem
eral Woods personal friends" he
SAID, to see him put nthis unhap-
nv position. There was nothing to
DO IN order to save the Republican
party but to defeat the band of men
that were behind him with their bank
accounts and their great financial in
huence. This meant that we had
to defeat General Wood himself"
The forces that were defeated in
their lnsolent attempt to buv the
nomination" he added, represent ali
that is worst in American business
and American political life. 1t is
really too bad that they hit upon
General Wood as their choice. They
should have found someone to sup
port Tor whom the county has less
respect and less regard"
The chief task of the conven-
ton" the statement said, was ia
prevent the sale of presidential nom
nations at auction to the highest
bidder. Had this not been done, the
party faced not only certain defeat
buC crushing dishonor. The sixty
eIght New York delegates who voted
Tor me on the first ballot were the
chief factor in stopping the Hinden-
burg drive to overwhelm the conven-
tion by the power Of unlimited money
and by strong-arm methods in prefer
entail primaries"
The story of New York's sixtv-
eight votes for Butler shows, the
statement said, how General Wood
was defeated. 1t points out that the
first ballot gave General Wood a subj
stantial lead and that ''the first task.
therefore, was to bring the vote of
his nearest rival, Governor Lowden.
at least up to Woods vote"
1T was this New York vote for
LoWden, taken from the sixty eight
votes that had been cast for me, that
gave Lowden his lead on the fifth
ballot and that enabled him substan-
tally to equal the Wood vote on the
ballot Immediately following. When.
after the seventh ballot, it was clear
that Lowden could not be nominat-
ed, we helped the drift toward Hard.

ton that might conceivably plunge
the world again into the turmoil of
war.
And in the solution of these prob
lens Japan must, whatever may be
the prejudice or opposition of other
peoples, play an important role.
In one of the first days of the con-
ference, Mr.. Fujiyama, President of
the Toxic Chamber of Commerce, a
tall, dignified figure told the story of
Japan's economic situation today with
such clarity and compelling force
that | believe no better picture can
be given in brief compass; and true
understanding of this situation will
form background essential to an in
telligent consideration of Japan's pol
icies and ambitions in the Far East.
THE position of Japan is a very
delicate one," said Mr.. Fujiyama.
"She stands between the East and the
West. She must find some relief fJr
her tremendous growing population.
If we are prevented from expanding
in America or China, how are we 60
ing to live?
Can't Raise Enough Rice
Japan is not a self-supporting ma
ton. She is compelled to import mucn
industrial raw material. We cannot
raise enough food-stuffs. The terri
tory of Japan is very limited, with
population increasing at the rate of
about 100000 a year. There is the
problem today.
"China is vast and rich in raw ma
terials. We can get our raw materials
from that country, but to do that we
must have the sympathy of both Chi
ma and America. Japan has never
been able to produce enough rice
during the best harvests to supply
her own people. 1t has been necessary
to import from other Countries
Here the tall, gaunt man paused.
His next words were prophetic, and
he asked question that America and
other nations cannot ignore. Japan is
entitled to an answer, whatever that
answer may be. In a few brief SEN
tences the question of the future of
the japanese people was laid before

Wcrthily Honored.

America has produced more than one
very famous cobbler. One of these
was Noah Worcester, known as the
first great Apostle of Peace" He it
was who founded the first great
peace Society of Massachusetts,
Born In 1853, he went into the war
against Great Britain when about 1S
years of age, and fought at the battle
of Bunker Hill. He became SO dis
gusted with the vices of the soldiers
life and the horrors of the battlefield
that he became hater of war and adj
vocate of peace. He worked in the
field all day and made shoes at night,
besides studying as much as he could.
He became a minister before 80. con-
tinuing TO do farm work and cobble
shoes so as TO exc out an existence.
He even taught the children of his
parishioners for no pay, conducting
a school in his study. 1t was in 1914,
after he had written urging Christian
unity, that he published his famous
pamphlet, ga Solemn Review of the
Custom of War;" advocating the abol-
ishment of war, interpreting literally
the New Testament doctrine. Resist
not evil" In line with the teaching of
the Society of Friends. Dying in his
S0th year he asked to have inscribed
upon his tombstone: "He Wrote the
Friend Of Peace"
