ows which portend dangers of many
kinds" writes the man who command
ed the ship of state during the world
war, 1T is only common prudence that
we should look about us and attempt
to assess the causes of distress and
the most likely means of removing
them"
Avoiding any partisan views, Mr..
Wilson goes to the root Of the mat
ter by making essentially what is a
religious appeal for a better under
standing between the "haves" and the
''have nots."
Real ground for the universal un-
rest" he asserts, lies deep at the
sources Of the spiritual life of our
time, and leads to revolution"
The cause of the Russian revolution
which Mr. Wilson calls the "outstand-
ing event of its kind in our age" was,
he says, "a systematic denial to the
great body of Russian people Of the
rights and privileges which all normal
men desire and must have If they are
to be contented and within reach of
happiness"

it declares that a plan of succ essful
relations can not be permanent If

comes from mutual exchange of ideas

"A One-man policy Is generally au-

The committee which conducted the
investigation for the league says tnat
the term industrial democracy" is
misleading and should be Abandoned;
that employees, as a whole are not in
terested in assuming the responsible
ties Of management, and they should
be given the opportunity to have a

The shop craft employees of the

rendering their membership in the

One of the principal clauses in the
strike settlement of last January pro-
vided that the men upon their re-
turn to work would not be required to
join any company union," and had
the company not acceded to this pro-
vision there would have ben no set

shopmen started to report than they
were confronted with the demand on
the part of local officials at nearly
every point on the line that they must
become members of the "company un-

STRIKING MINER
DENIED PAPERS

BALTIMORE, Aug. 15.-Judge VAL
.entine of Parsons, W Va, will not
grant citizenship papers to a striking
member of the United Mine Workers.
according to President Drum, district
No. 16, United Mine Workers, in a
letter to a local trade unionist.
Dan Spolarich asked for citizenship
papers, and presented his honorable
discharge from the United States
army, where he served nine months.
The court took an unusual and un-
necessary interest in the applicants
private affairs. The young alien was
asked why he was not working and
If he were a member OF the United
Mine Workers.
o. B. Anderson, government repre-
sentative, told the court, according
to President Drum, that Spolarich had
no right to be admitted to citizenship;
that he was striker and a member
of the United Mine Workers. An at
torney representing the Davis Coal
and Coke company also informed the
court that Spolarich "is follower of
James ]. Hogan who is interested in
the miners strike in the Thomas
fields"
''The final outcome of the hearing, +"
said President Drum, was that the
court refused Spolarich citizenship
papers, because he was a member OF
the United Nine Workers, and so
stated.
This judge used to be a local at
torney of the Western Maryland rail-
way in that county, whose craftsmen
have been on strike for over a year.
This shows you what we have to fight
against in district No. Is. 1t shows
you the prejudices against our cause"
