tie absolutely nothing. In nearly
every district, wage strikes are
threatening and any one Of these
may be the spark that is thrown into
the, open powder barrel. For when
the Gewerkschaften (labor unions)
went over the heads of the political
labor organizations and demanded,
as they did the other day, the adop-
ton OF emergency measures, the
head Of the political powder barrel
was knocked in Given an unsatis-
factory compromise on the emer-
gency bills, most any strike could
have spread into general strike
through an appeal to the fear Of re-
action. That fear is exceedingly live
ly in these days, having been care
fully nurtured by the political lead
ers of the two Social Democratic fac
tons for purely partisan purposes.
1t is not wholly unfounded.
Royalist Tendencies.
There are, in the first place, nu-
merous societies and secret organ
izations with ramifications through
out the country that are suspected
of royalist tendencies and that are
quite active enough to arouse exag-
gerated feare without the assassina-
ton or attempted assassination Of
responsible champions of the cause
of democracy.
There are, in the second place,
tens of thousands of civil servants
who are. to say the least, lukewarm
in their republicanism and in whose
midst the rabid royalistH and bureau
Gratis do not hesitate to bewail the
passing of the old order. There are,
in the third place, thousands of
teachers and hundreds of univer-
sity professors whose sentiments are
either monarchistic, deutschvolkisch
(the German equivalent Of our old
"know-nothing" movement), or Pan
German. It is difficult to say which
of the three elements is the worst.
And lastly, there is that gradual
~ increasing tenseness of the ma
tionalistic spirit in the burgher
classes, which the working people
have good cause to fear. For If it
results in a consolidation of the mid
die class and some such political
program as the one-time powerful
Fortschritts partei progressive par
ty) put forward in Bismarck's day,
the present influence of the working
people in the government will most
certainly be placed in jeopardy.

Berlin-Events Of the past two
months show that the overwhelming
majority of the industrial workers
Will listen to nothing short of relent-
less suppression Of all reactionary
intrigues. Unhapplly relations OF
workers and employers are being Sc
verely strained by the economic un-
certainty.
It is not possible to remain nor
NAL under conditions that force up
on both parties continual wage dis
putes and at the same time menace
them with common industrial ca
tastrophe. Take for example, the
situation with which all employers
(private and public) and all en-
now confronted in consequence of
the extraordinary depreciation Of the
mark.
At the close of June and early in
July the various boards of adjust
ment (known as the Zentral-Arbeits-
gemeinschaften) fixed the July wage
scales in the several industries on
the basis Of the exchange value of
the mark. Wages were raised for the
month, and adjusted on the basis of
800 marks to the dollar. No sooner
was the accord put into effect than
the dollar rose in value until it
passed the 500 mark line. It is now
fluctuating around $50 marks. This
rise meant an immediate increase of
0f Ia
namely staple foods and will result
in a further increase during the
present month of 25 to 80 per cent.
Temporary Compromise.
Consequently the workers are fl
nancially in a worse position than
they were before the July advance
in wages was granted. Now, wage
givers and wage takers cannot re-
main cool-headed under conditions
that pervert every computation into
a gamble. Both sides Of every wage
dispute know they are apt to be
mired in the 'valuta bog Exchange
fluctuation) and each side insists on
playing safe by making speculative
demands. Add to this the menace of
an industrial .stagnation, which is
felt by all, and it is not difficult to
foresee serious labor troubles and to
understand the present labor unrest.
The settlement of the printers
strike and the adjustment of the la
Dor difficulties in the Ruhr district
(thanks to the hard work Of the
minister Of labor, Herr Braun) are
merely temporary compromises un-
der economic conditions that are
quite beyond the control of employ
ers or employees. They are compro-
misses that provide a breathing spell
for anxious statesmen, but that set

Tuesday evening, Dec. S. Following

Rotary to bring about closer friend
ship between the residents of the city
and the rural districts and the even-
ing is certain to be very enjoyable.
The entire South Prairie commun-
