William ]. Bryan. at the Jackson
Day dinner. last night. said
Seldom has such an opportunity
for great service come to any party
as now presents itself to our party.
But opportunity brings responsible
ity. Much is required of those to
whom much is given. A soldier is a
soldier until his day of opportunity
comes. after that, he is either a
hero or a coward. So with the par
ty. opportunities improved become
stepping-stones to success; oppor-
tunities neglected are millstones
about the party's neck.
The opportunities now offered are
as large as the nation and as wide
as the world. In this hour when
We take council together for the
coming campaign. it is the duty of
each member of the party. as i take
it. to present the situation as he
sees it. without stopping to inquire
whether his views are shared by
others. One cannot call a mass
meeting to determine what to think;
the theory of democracy is that all
think and give expression to their
thought and then conclusions are
reached by comparison of views.
Permit me. therefore. to present
the more important of these oppor-
tunities as i see them. The ma
tions are entering upon a new era;
old systems are passing away;
democracy is dawning everywhere.
Our nation is the only great ma
tion in a position to furnish the
moral leadership required. The
nations of Europe are busy with
their own problems; our people
are the only snes disinterested
enough to be trusted by all. and
the Democratic party is the party
whose ideas best fit it for the task
of leadership in such a work.
A Democratic President was the
spokesman of the United States in
holding out to a war-worn world
the hope of universal peace, and he
brought back from Paris the COW
enant of a league of nations that
provides means for settling inter-
national disputes without a resort
to force. He did the best he could,
and succeeded better than we had
any right to expect, when we re-
member that he fought single
handed against the selfish interests
of the world.

Bryan Urges Ratification
Of Suffrage Amendment

William Jennings Bryan yester-
day issued a strong plea for the
Immediate ratification Of the suf-
frage amendment by the Democratic
legislatures now in session, and the
call of special sessions in other
states.
He said: II hope that all legisIa-
lures that are now meeting will
aeal Immediately with the suffrage
mendment so that the amendment
will be ratified in time to give the
women a voice in nominations as
well as in the election. No time
ought to be lost in settling this
question on the side of suffrage"

Personally. / do not accept the
action of the Senate as the de-
cision of the nation. I have as
serted from the first that the
overwhelming majority of the
people of this country desire the
raification' of the treaty.
/ have endeavored to make II
plain that IL the Senate wishes
to say what the undoubted
meaning of the league is. I shall
have no objection But
when the treaty Is acted upon,
1 must know whether 1t means
that we have ratified or rejected
II. We cannot rewrfte this
treaty. We must take Il with
but changes which alter its
meaning, or leave II. and then
face the unthinkable task of
making another and separate
kind of treaty with Germany.
II there is any doubt
as to what the people of the
country think on this vital mat
ter. the clear and single way out
is to submit it for determine
ton at the next election to the
voters of the nation, to give the

our plan has been rejected and
we must face the situation as
1t Is. We must either secure such

or present the issue to the coun-
try. The latter course would
mean a delay of at least fourteen
months and then success only in

not afford. either as citizens or
As members of the party to share

sponsibility for further delay;
we cannot 20 before the country

Washington merchants who refuse
to sell sugar unless the customer
purchases other articles at the same

displeasure of the Federal trade COM

yesterday that 1t would no longer

recognition of the Soviet system and the dictator
ship Of the proletariat.
Zone cannot conceive Of a greater mistake, 2
greater wrong done to the revolution by the
revoutonares of the left. Indeed, if even in Rus
sa, after two years and half of victories without
precedent over the Russian and Allied bourgeoisie,
we should insist upon as conditions for member
ship in the unions the recognition of the dictator
ship Of the proletariat, we would make mistake,
we would diminish our influence with the masses,
we would play the game of the Mensheviks. For
all the task of the Communists is to CONVINCE
the other workers, to know how to work AMONG
them and not to seperate themselves from them
by infantile "left' inventions.
"There can be no doubt of it. Messrs Gompers,
Henderson, Jouhaux, I.egien are very much
obliged to those revolutionsts of the 'left" who
preach the quitting of the unions and who refuse
to work in them"

Scandinavian Labor Troubles
Special correspondence to The Toiler.

Unemployment is on the increase in Sweden,
affecting all industries. The hardest hit are the
textile, match, and metal and machinery in
dustries. Labor is being laid off everywhere.
Those that remain are working only part-tme.
The lockout in the building industry is still on.
There are several small strikes going on in diff
ferent parts of the country Another fight is being
staged in the field of transportation. All the work.
ers employed on the private railroads are being
forced out on strike for higher wages because the
employers refused to consider their demands. This
will affect about 10000 workers. However, the
workers on the State-owned railroads, who re-
ceived an increase some time ago, are not affect
ed, hence the strike will not disturb the larger
state railroads.
The craft-unions in the Marine Transport in
dustry, who demand small increase in wages
and other minor economic demands, have submit
ted all their demands to arbitration. They have
been at it for six weeks and are still arbtratng.
Their agreement expires in January 1st, 1920.
In Norway, the situation threatens trouble in
the very near future. All the railroad-workers,
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-12-11

even the office force, are goin out about the 1st
of December, for higher wages They are most
ly employed on the State-owned roads.
In Kristiana, the capital of Norway, all the
city employees are out on strike. The strike be-
gan with the Hospital-workers, who were denied
an increase. AS result all the other principal
workers went out in sympathy In Norway, the
unemployment situation is practically the same
as it is in Sweden.
In Denmark, according to the latest accounts,
unemployment is even greater than in either
Norway or Sweden. (The latest figures for Copen-
hagen alone are $4,000 out of work. Some big
strikes may be expected in the near future. The
time agreements for some 100000 workers will
expire on the 1st of February, the 1st Of March
and the 1st of April Practically all the workers
are putting up demands for increase in wages,
but in view of the economic situation as it is to-
day, it does not seem likely that the employers are
going to yield to demands. To sum up, the work.
ers in Scandinavia, Qike the workers everywhere
else), will have their hands full in the next few
months in the battle to hold the social and econ
omic position which they occupy at present.
