ID Glass War Prisoners. In many
states militants of the working class
are held in Jail because Of their ac-
tive fight on behalf OF their class.
Tom Mooney, Warren X. Billings,
Richard Ford and Herman Suhr, in
California, Rangel and Cline in Texas.
Sacco and Vanzetti in Massachusetts,,
and scores of others are languishing
in the jails of capitalism. We demand
their unconditional release, and to
this end insist that our International
Union develop an active campaign ON
their behalf.
81 Child Labor. The shame and
curse of child labor still weighs upon
the working class. The rejection of
the recently proposed amendment to
the federal constitution shows the de-
termination of the capitalists to per-
petuate this outrage. We demand that
an aggressive campaign be carried on
by the union against child labor.
y AntI-syndlcatsm Laws. In many
states turnout the United States there
are on the statute books so-calIed anti
syndicalism laws, which deny the
workers the fundamental rights OF
free speech, free press, and free
assembly, and which are used to Jail
hundreds OF militant fighters in the
cause Of labor. We condemn these
anti-syndicalism laws as invasions OF
the rights of the workers and as be-
ing calculated to stifle and choke out
every branch of the labor movement.
81 lmperialsm-The Dawes Plan.
The Progressive Miners condemn the
imperiaistic policy Of the capitalist
class, as being carried out in China,
Persia, Central and South America,
and various other countries, as lead
ing to the enslavement Of the work
ers at home and the development of
wars abroad. We especially condemn
the Dawes plan, which means the
enslavement of the German workers
and the consequent reduction of the
standards of living Of the working
class all over the world. We condemn
the tendency of labor leaders to sup
port the imperialism Of the en-
ployers.
HI Citizens military Trailing
Camps. AS part Of their general
scheme to militarize and subjugate
the working class, the open shop
employers, in cooperation with the
war department, have launched the
so-called Citizens Military Training
Camps. These institutions. under the
guise of giving the young workers
months vacation on full pay, induct
them into the most intensive military
training and do their best to turn
these workers out as scabs and strike
breakers. We condemn this scheme
which is calculated on the one hand
to further the open shop" plans of
the employers at home and their i'm
perialistic adventures abroad.

FRENCH DRAW ANALOGY.
Compare Berlin Situation With
Marshal MacMahon.

PARIS, April 2s.-Germany's presi-
Dental election continues to occupy
the French public to the exclusion of
all else, and the newspapers today
print columns about it, with long ex-
tracts of editorial comment from the
press of the world.
An analogy is drawn in some politi-
cal quarters between the choice of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg as
President of the German republic and
that of Marshal MacMahon as first
President of the French third republic.
Like MacMahon, Won Hindenburg is
credited with royalist leanings, and the
problem of the new flag against the
old is expected to occupy him as 1t did
the Frenchman.
The fact that MacMahon succunbed
after forcing the issue to a point re-
quiring new parliamentary elections is
pointed to in Socialist and radical cir
cles as giving hope that Sundays cleo
ton may turn out less disastrously
for peace" than they expected.
