seeking admission into the United States" says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
"For clean, wholesome, industrious immi-

country needs plenty of labor for the construc-
ton of railroads, the draining of swamps, the
reclamation of arid lands-common labor of
every description, and farm labor in particular.

Admits Germans and Austrlsns.

The International labor conference,
called under the peace treaty, voted 10
admit to membership the German and
Austrian delegates. The vote was al
most unanimods--it stood II to l.
The solitary negative vote was cast
by Louis Guerin of France. The argu-
ment that won the admission Of the
delegates was "One question we are
going to discuss is the eight-hour day.
II would be entirely impossible to i'm
pose the application of the principles
that might here be adopted on Ger
many and Austria, If they are not al
lowed TO participate. And we read
daily that in Germany worknen are
busy nine and ten hours a day."

merely upon the date of the elections,

The course of labor in England will

other activities socialized. The Lloyd

indeed. toward meeting these demands,
but II has not satisfied labor and must
stand aside for n government that
will unhesItatingly adopt Specialization
on a decisive scale. Where Will the
experiment lend? Where will the
vested interests try to call halt?
When and how will the British classes
be broken up, If they are to be broken

Trade unionism has been Carried
much further In England than in the
United States. While the industrial
conference In Washington splits on
