when will the next one begin? and will or can
our nation remain out of it?
The fuse already is lighted in Spain and the
bomb is ready to be set off in China. In fact
a formal declaration is all that is lacking in
Europe where it is definitely known that Russia
and France are secretly aiding the Spanish gov
eminent and it is just as definitely known that
Portugal, Italy and Germany are backing the
Spanish rebels.
If this formal declaration can be avoided and
the present conflict segregated in Spain, the
real murder and bloodshed may be averted for
a short period, but apparently not for long
for 8,000,0 900 men have not been trained in the
art of mass-murder for the purpose of parades
and show.
Likely there is not single nation in Europe
and, perhaps, Asia that will be able to avoid
participation in the coming holocaust, but there
is no necessity for the United States to become
embroiled. Only greed, avarice and stupidity,
as in the last war, will or can cause this country
to become a party in this next war.
No matter how a~ltruistic and plausible may
seem the excuse and pretext of those who urge
it, all efforts to get this nation to affiliate with
world courts or councils, leagues of nations, or
peace movements in the old countries should
be carefully analysed and then scrupulously
left alone-for we can expect such overtures
at any time now; there will be an attempt to
make the United States the catspaw again.
individuals, manufacturing concerns, go-be-
tweens for the furnishing of food, clothing and
munitions, and financial firms who desire to
participate in the unholy profits of mass-murder
should be told to do so at their own risk, and
that under no circumstances to expect the pro-
lection or succor of this government if they get
in bad. In short, the United States must keep
clear of all potential entanglements which are
certain or will probably enmesh it in the foolish
spilling of blood and the wanton destruction
of wealth.
Some great nation will be needed to retain a
nucleus of civilization after the next war to
prevent the world from passing into darkness
and despair. Why cannot the United States
be that nation? We are in a favorable position
and condition to do so.
The emissaries of both parties to the coming
conflict are in our midst counting our favor.
We should steer a neutral course between them;
but it will require vigilance and good common
sense to do so.

The Bay Bridge Opens

Among the many wonders of the world within
the borders of California, another takes its place
this week-a new, man-made colossus of steel
and concrete that brings realization, at last, to
a dream decades old.
1t is the bridge that spans San Francisco Bay,
the greatest bridge in the world. What a bridge
this is! For centuries it will stand as a tesla
ment to the genius and determination of man,
and as another of CALIFORNIA; wonders of the
world.
Its towers of steel surpass the height of sky
scrapers. It's sweeping cables gracefully sus-
pend a roadbed 200 feet above the surface of
the largest navigable body of water yet
Spanned. In it there is enough concrete and
steel to rebuild all the large office buildings
Of downtown San Francisco, or thirty-five Los
Angeles city halls, and the wire in its cables
alone would encircle the earth three times. It's
eight and one-quarter mile length is three times
that of famed Firth of Forth bridge in Scotland,
and it dwarfs such other engineering triumphs
as the George Washington and Brooklyn
bridges across the Hudson, and the Ambassador
Bridge in Detroit.
The rest of the world, outdone, looks on as
the Bay Bridge opens. So, perhaps, does the
astonished ghost of Don Gaspar de Portola, who
discovered the bay in 1869; and perhaps look
ing on also are the ghosts of those dreamers
who first envisioned such a bridge more than
half hundred years ago, and were laughed at
for their dreams.

The Next World War

The League Of Nations has announced that
100000 men are permanently under arms
throughout the world. The League report says
there were 5,900,000 men under arms just previ-
GUS to the outbreak of the World War in 1914;
that since 1882 world armies have been in
creased by 100000 men.
The Leagues figures include only perma-
nently armed forces and do not include semi
permanent military organizations which no
doubt run into many more millions.
There is no question that many of those
including President Wilson-who declared that
the World War would be the war that would
end all wars, were sincere and honest, but it
is just as certain that many, including the pro-
f~essional ~war-makers and profiteers, were in
sincere and hypocritical when they urged the
participation Of this nation in that conflict.
No one need doubt any longer that world
wars are not ended. The only questions are:

west COAST Strike
SPREADS TO YARDS
By Federated Press

oy CQCi dtIQ ANSS
SAN FRANCISCO. - (FP) = The
west coast maritime strike gained
5000 recruits when workers in the
bay district plants of the Bethlehem
Shipbuilding Corp. walked out. The
machinists refused to pass picket
lines, and said they were going
down the line with the other crafts
to get them the conditions which we
have enjoyed" Eleven crafts were
affected.
Striking warehousemen are under
taking negotiations with cold storage
and milling warehouse employers.
They r continuing to release per-
ishable fruits and vegetables from
cold storage. Union officials stated
that the negotiations would take up
no other subject.
Western strikers at San Francisco
and other ports have voted to I'M
load perishable cargoes, but at San
Pedro longshoremn were resisting
an order from Federal Judge j. Nc
Cormick authorizing the federal
marshal to unload a cargo of ba-
nanas by enlisting "any and all"
assistance.
The Federal Maritime Commits
sion's investigation of west coast
conditions was to be resumed. Union
representatives were willing to at
tend provided a clear understanding
exists that rights of unionization are
unchallenged.
Striking unionists appeared ready
to make exceptions to permit
stranded passengers at Honolulu to
get home. Asst. Sec. of Labor Ed
ward F. McGrady was hopeful of
resumption of negotiations between
strikers and shippers.
AT New York, a weekend confer
ence of rank-and-file delegates, rep
resenting Atlantic and gulf ports,
voted to make the sympathetic sit
down protest a general walkout with
wages and conditions on a parity
with the west coast as their de-
mands. The Seamen's Defense Com
mittee, headed by Joseph Curran,
was transformed into a Strike
Strategy Committee. East coast
shipping continued crippled. Some
ships were cancelling sailings, others
were going with cargo and mail but
no passengers, and some were get
ting away only after taking part of
their crew of non-strikers aboard by
launch after casting anchor off the
Statue of Liberty. Strikers claimed
virtually unanimous support of I'M
ion seamen, with IS vessels tied up
at New York alone, while old-time
officers continued trying to man
ships with non-strikers. Strike lead
ers claimed shipowners were inject

The Presidents Thanksgiving
Proclamation

President Roosevelt last week proclaimed
Thursday, November 26, as "a day of national
Thanksgiving " and asserted America stood
ready to promote international friendship and,
by the avoidance Of discord, to further world
peace, prosperity and happiness"
The text of the proclamation follows:
81, Franklin q. Roosevelt, president of the
United States Of America, hereby designate
Thursday, the 18th day Of November, 1886, as
a day of national Thanksgiving.
"The observance of a day Of general thanks
giving by all the people is a practice peculiarly
our own, hallowed by usage in the days before
we were a nation and sanctioned through sue
ceeding years.
Having safely passed through troubled
waters, it is our right to express our gratitude
that divine providence has vouchsafed us wis
dom and courage to overcome adversely. Our
free institutions have been maintained with no
abatement of our faith in them.
"In our relations with other peoples we stand
not aloof but make resolute effort to promote
international friendship and, by the avoidance
of discord, to further world peace, prosperity
and happiness.
coupled with our grateful acknowledgment
of the blessings it has been our privilege to en-
joy, we have a deepening sense of our solemn
responsibility to assure for ourselves and our
descendants a future more abundant in faith
and in security.
"Let us, therefore, on the day appointed, each
in his own way, but together as a whole people,
make due expression of our thanksgiving and
humbly endeavor to follow in the footsteps of
Almighty God.
"In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal Of the United States
of America to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington this 18th
day of November, in the year of our Lord 1886,
and of the independence Of the United States
of America the 161st.

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Events
moved swiftly here making the eve
of the American Federation of La

tentous than at any time in labor's
history.
The Is unions affiliated with the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-

Industrial Union of Marine and
Shipbuilding Workers and the
United Electrical and Radio Work
ers, making a total number of is
unions affiliated and swelling the
number of members to close to L.
500, 900.
Significance was seen in the addi-
ton of these two members for it
marks the first time that the c. I. O.
has admitted to its ranks unions not
affiliated with the A. F. Of L Previ-
ously, the c. l. 0. policy was to shun
such attachments for it was felt such
action would brand the c. I. o. as a
competitive organization.

are reported producing members for
their unions. According to the cur
rent journal of the l. A.. M, 81 agree
ments have been negotiated during
the last month, providing in most
cases for pay boosts.
With this battle, backed by all the
forces of organized labor, for better
working conditions in full swing, it
will be up to the A. F. of L. conven-

all but three of the c. l. 0. unions,
International Typographical Union,
the United Hatters, Cap and Millin-
cry Workers, and American News
paper Guild, will not be present at
the convention.
The international Ladies Garment
Workers, also a c. I. o. affiliate, is
undecided as to its course of action
but the prevailing opinion is that
the union will at least have 'unoffi-
cial Observers at the conclave.
At the same time the general ex-
ecutive board of the I. l.. G. W. u.
announced an initial appropriation
of $500,000 for an organizing drive.
The Amalgamated Clothing Workers
executive board meeting here also
announced they will attempt to
unionize $4,000 eligible workers in
the industry. Thos. F. Mcmahon,
president of the United Textile
Workers, issued a statement calling
upon all textile workers to prepare
their lines and organize their forces
in the demand for wage increases,
reduction of hours and improved
conditions of employment"
These drives will be in full force,

Der, and automobile industries by
the time the A. F. of L. convention
closes. These organization efforts
