Threat to Draft
Labor in Next Var
ROuSeS Sam GOnlpers

WARRINGTON, April I'm a
formal statement of its current legis-
lative program of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor denounces the pro-
posal for CONSUMPTION of labor in
case of national emergency as being
"a more inimical piece of legislation
than was ever before considered by
congress" It demands exclusion of
Japanese by law rather than by the
gentlemen's agreement, and appeals
for the soldier bonus.
Discussing the proposed conscrip-
tion of labor, the report says it is
being advocated in radio propaganda
talks, and its essence is the plan of
paying to conscripted labor the same
pittance allowed to soldiers. The A.
F. Of L. would be willing, it says, to
agree to this if the members of the
U. S. supreme court, of congress, the
cabinet and the president would take
the same $33-a-month allowance as
salary, and would put all military Off
GERS likewise on this rate of pay.
The labor CONSUMPTION radio speech
of Major General Hanson E. Ely,
commandant of the war college, sent
out March 10 from here, said that
this draft would dispose of labor
troubles in time of war. The labor
elements that were disposed to make
trouble would simply be transferred
to the trenchesl
On the other hand, the owners of
resources would be requested"
merely, to furnish at fair profit the
things the government might need.
If shipments were refused, the gov
eminent could decline priority in
freight movements to the business Of
the unwilling firms.

"Then they could nominate La Fol

All this is, of course, nonsense.
The call for the st. Paul convention
was signed by representatives of

times is for "Third Party" and
sometimes for rewarding the friends

to kill the real convention of the

The opening of this attack means
that the forces behind the June 18th

German BGyOnets
Are Running Only
Against Workers
(By The Federated Press)

BERLIN, April 2.-Some weeks
ago differences arose between the
Berlin flour mill workers and the
owners. When the mill workers
obeyed the ministry of labor and sent
a delegation to deal with the minis
try, they were suddenly arrested by
the military forces and held until
they promised that in so essential an
industry as milling there would be no
strike pending the settlement.
Now new situation has devel-
oped. Again there are differences be-
tween the bosses and the workers,
and the ministry of labor has put
into play its machinery Of arbitra-
ton. The mill owners refuse to
come. They declare they have fred
all their workers and there is moth
ing to arbitrate.
In other words, the Essential" in
dustry of milling has stopped by ac-
ton of the mill owners. But no
military is at hand to arrest these
gentlemen and to compel them to
run their mills. Germany bayonets
run one way only.

Approximately $50 theological
students Of the university have
signed pledges dedicating their lives
to the abolition of war by means
of "my personal refusal to sanction
any future war, or to any form Of
military service" The pledge cards
were signed at a meeting in a class
room at the university.
During the meeting a telegram
said to be from a pacifst group at
Yale arrived, pledging support to
the "world movement for peace"
Want MiItarism Canned.
Students at the college favor the
stand taken by the university men
and a movement is under way to
discontinue the reserve officers train
ing corps system at the school.
Bishop Nicholson declared emphat-
ically that the stand of the students
was not the stand of the church.
Makes Quiet Investigation.
''If the flag is fired on will be
in the forefront of those demanding
it's Defense" the bishop declared.
Bishop Nicholson is making a
quiet investigation Of pacifst activ-
tiles at both schools, it was learned,
and strong steps are anticipated.
The present agitation started on
Sunday night when an Epworth
league meeting in a Methodist
church in Evanston was turned into
pacifist demonstration.

POLITICALS DIE
SLOW DEATHS IN
GERMAN CAMPS
Gen. Seeckt's Barbed
Wire Prisons Described

BERLIN, April 2.-The following
protest, describing the conditions in
the German concentration camps for
political prisoners, was addressed to
General Seeckt by Ivan Katz, a
member of the Prussian Landtag.
He describes the camp at Munster,
particularly:
'The prisoners are confined be-
hind barbed wire and twice a day
for an hour are allowed to take a
walk between the wire fences. Since
their shoes are not in wearable con-
dition, and the ground around the
barracks is soaked with slush and
snow, the prisoners are exposed to
colds, typhus, and certain death.
"The French themselves have
never treated German prisoners so
UNANIMOUSLY as the German military
are treating German citizens.
"Since neither the Reischwehr, the
security police, nor the Department
of Justice provide for the prisoners,
and their maintenance is left to
their relatives, who themselves are
absolutely without means in every
case, the prisoners have no soap, no
tooth brushes, no tooth powder, no
no clothing, and no foot
wear. The prisoners are certain
to succumb helplessly thru cold,
dampness, and dirt. Il is scandal
GUS that an administration ventures
to arrest citizens who have COM
mitted no punishable crime and drag
them to an uninhabitable wilderness,
without at least providing the neces-
sites Of life for these innocent pris-
oners.
"The fact that Germany has sent
her political prisoners to concentra-
ton camps has aroused the atten-
ton Of the whole civilized world
and has exposed Germany to con-
tempt. But when it is known that
the military power does not even
provide for these prisoners. but is
allowing them to perish,
the scorn of the world will doubtless
increase in the face of such baroar-
GUS methods, the desires of other
countries to help Germany in its
distress will subside, and the return
OF the Ruhr prisoners from France
will be made impossible"

Southern Chinese ports are overrun

lean and smaller fry.
The reason for this display of
force is a threat by DR.. Sun Vat Sen

apply any surplus which may be left,
after some demands of the foreign
financiers have been met, to the

kin that they had got their claws
well into the prize by occupying the

Meanwhile, Sun Vat Sen cour-

the guns of the foreign war vessels

people have arranged huge protests
against foreign Intervention. No
fewer than $50 guilds and unions
have announced their determination
to support Sun Vat Sen.
On top Of this, the Association of
Chambers of Commerce in the Kwan-
tung province decided to throw in
their lot with guilds and unions and,
If necessary, to organize a general
strike and boycott against all for
eigners in South China. If such an
anti-foreign campaign starts in the
south it may extend to the whole of
