the war after the world war which
is being waged by organized capital
against both organized and morgan
lied labor, have proved that the l.
w. W. cannot accomplish what its
deluded rank and file members had
been led to believe" Klopeck said.
"Those experiences have proved that
this organization had been used by
tn 'one big union of employers to
aid in wrecking the only organiza-
tion that offered labor practical
means of preserving all the advan-
tages gained after more than 80
years of hard work, the one affil-

The speaker advised the workers
to cease fighting among themselves
and scabbire on each other, to get
together and protect themselves from
further assaults by the well organ
lied and unscrupulous employers.
Replying to an inquiry, KlOpeck
said that during the past sixteen
months the international had not
been financially able to maintain or
ganizers on the Pacific coast, yet
since he became president the dis
trict had been paid 70 per cent more
by the international than the latter
had received from the district; that
membership had fallen off more than
half. He said efforts will be con

Million Dollars
Raised by Typos

Last month the Richmond Typo
graphical union, a local with only
twelve members. paid $254.10 to
their international union.
Receipts of the International Typo
graphical union for the month of
September 20 to October 20, totaled
81, ,047, ,526.61. OF this vast amount
$SS3,057.47 was for the 44-hour
week assessment, $54,345.S0 for the
mortuary fund and $50,71S.42 for
the old age assessment.
With more than a million a month
pouring into the treasury of this
union employers who believed they
could "get away" with their con-
tract-breaking policy are beginning
to wonder how they are going to
make it.
Two years ago these employers
agreed with the union to install the
44-hour week on May /, 1921. They
have violated this agreement and their
action is approved by every anti
unionist in the country, who lectures
organized labor on the sacredness of
contracts.

Gompers Says Don't Stop at Cutting Navies
WILLIAM BOUCK
HIS PURPOSES

Nov. 28, 1921-We are often asked,
"What arc your purposes ?" or
What do you hope to do in and with
the new oranization ?"
First, let me say, we purpose to
have absolutely free expression. No
one shall be chided with dabbling in
politics or of injecting politics into
the organization if he or she discuss
any situation of interest to those
associated in this organization, and
the presiding officer will protect all
in this right. If we are out to learn,
and that is the greatest job any of
US have on our hands, the only way
we can do is by and through the
freest discussions.
There will be no republican party
tyrant in the shape of National
Grange official to break in and say,
cts politics"
Second, We purpose to engage in
and develop to the utmost, cooper
ative stores, factories, direct trading
and selling agencies and finance in
Stitutions among our members, and
between them and the city con-
sumer.
Third, We purpose to investigate
thoroughly, through competent COM
mittees, the standing of candidates
for office in the districts and states
where we are organized. Also the
purpose of the different political
parties and to support such candi-
dates and parties as have the inter
est of the producers at heart.
Fourth, To adopt form of group
life insurance for all our members
at very low cost
Fifth, To furnish fire insurance to
our members at cost.
And sixth, To form social and
fraternal nucleus through the vari-
Gus local organizations which shall
form a uniting bond among our
members.
Most, if not all, the above func-
tions are now forbidden in the Pat
rons of Husbandry.- and it is high
time that a new organization func-
tioning as above was organized. 1t
is now a fact, and organizations by
the dozens are now with us. 1t is
time you came, reader.

the deepest fervor that the confer
ence will go beyond naval limitation
and strike hard and true at the
causes Of war.
"To destroy sixty-six ships and to
fail on the Far Eastern and Pacific
problem would be a transient victory
in the shadow of disaster.
THE conference must go on to the
deeper questions upon which the
issue of continued peace really hangs,
1t is the duty of the American peo-
pie to register their conviction and
to repeat it over and over again.
"The people Of America-particu-
larly the working people-have made
known to their representatives in
Washington their views, their de-
sires, their demands; they will con-
tinue to do so. This is a great, dra
matte hour in the history Of the

immeasurable triumph for humanity.
If their will does not prevail we shall
