will and cooperation which exists be-
tween people of different religious and
cultural backgrounds unless prejudice
and discord are stirred up by forces
making appeal to the lowest rather
than the best elements in human ma
ture. The propaganda of prejudice is
subtle, penetrating, and likely to ap-
proach us when we are least aware
of it.
The American labor movement has
been a generous contributor to the re.
lief of the victims of war and perse-
cution, both in Europe and the East.
Many of the trade unions have ear
marked their contributions, as was
natural, for the use of families of
workers, and to be distributed with
the cooperation of local trade union
lists where possible. Fortunately, they
have also specified that their funds
should be distributed without regard
to race, creed, or color
This is important in marking the
determination of the American work
ers that they will not succumb to anti
Semitism and will stand with the de-
cent people of the whole world in pre-
venting inhumanities and prosecutions
of human beings.

terment and protection of our nation
in the years of '39, 40 and Al; by
his repeated mo" to every bill that
would have made us better prepared
for the war that was inevitable; by
his deliberately allowing his frank en-
velOpes used to further the cause OF
the Steuben society and other nazi
organizations; by his Cant Happen
Here" attitude which he carried up to
the time of our Pearl Harbor attack;
by his continued difference, even aft
er war was declared with the admin
istration in the time in our history
when unity was so necessary for ulti-
mate victory and peace-by these and
many other charges, it is my opinion
that he should be on trial as Ameri-
cas- best contribution to naziism and
fascism.
In Mr. Unruh's letter he speaks of
Wheeler's aid in the drive for box.
cars and his fight for co-ops. Not
having been back here for some time,
| wouldn't know what his stand on
internal issues are but | would be in
clined to think that his fight for CO.
operatives is overstated. Surely Mr..
Unruh being the church member and
American Citizen as he states in his
letter to you, wouldn't consider these
stands as offsetting Wheeler's undo
ings.
OF course, even the wrong at times,
he ,.sr, T hof
has promised to fight against the Mt
EA but this is just one issue that
to all the matters in his po-
litical life is small indeed. His fight
against the MVA and his joining the
Southern bloc in the FEPC (Which
ultimately killed this bill) shows that
he is NOT backing the democratic
legislation. If Mr.. Unruh is interested
in some real facts and good reading,
l would suggest that he read "Under
Cover" and "Black Mail"
Quoting from Unruh's letter and ad.
dressing hint would advise you
rather to go slow and better think
twice."

place, the police were in the hall and
on the platform ready to arrest the
speaker if any attack was made on
war. Kerr Hardie made his address
which was a master effort. Rosa Lux
emburg translated to the audience
what Hardie was saying He talked
against the horrors of war and its
sufferings and how unnecessary 1t
was. The police were very much in
terested. At times Hardie's remarks
brought tears to the eyes of his listen
ers. even the police were seen to take
their handkerchiefs and wipe their
eyes. If the police had orders to ar
rest Kerr Hardie that night, they for
got their orders.
Regardless of all the fraternalizing
by the workers of the various coun-
tries of Western Europe, war broke
out. The workers of Europe were
thrown at each other as savage beasts
by masters and ruling classes of Eu-
rope.
When war was started, Jaure was
promptly assassinated by a fanatical
tool of the militarists of France, while
he was trying to arrange peace before
the war got too great a start.
Kerr Hardie went to his home in
Scotland and went to bed for about
a week and died. The grand old man
of the British Miners died of a broken
heart. The horrors of human beings
was too much for him.

l
The death of Will Thorne. British
Socialist recalls the work which was
done in Western Europe prior tc
World War | in an effort to prevent
that war taking place.
In September 1907, British Foreign
Secretary Earl Gray attended the an
nual maneuvers of the German army
as the guest of the late Kaiser Will
helm II. When this became public,
Kerr Hardie, the veteran Socialist in
the house of commons rose and asked
the speaker by what authority had
Secretary Gray attended the army
maneuvers in Germany as guest of
royalty? Gray replied that he went
as private citizen.
Kerr Hardie made a great speech
in the house of commons against war
charged Gray with being a party by
giving moral sanction to Germany
starting a war in Europe. At this
time it was not generally thought in
Britain that England and Germany
would fight each other
The result of the speech by Kerr
Hardie opened up a lot of things that
showed the British and Continental
workers that general war was APP
preaching. The British workers or
gained travel clubs and made small
weekly payments to the club whereby
when the summer holidays came they
could travel in groups to Germany and
other countries on the Continent. The
German Socialist workers followed
and prepared to travel in groups to
holiday in Britain. These tours of
the workers of Britain and Germany
were very popular The Co-opera-
tives and unions of both countries
made arrangements to entertain the
to show them around and
give them picnics etc.
Speakers were exchanged between
the two countries. In 1909 great mass
meetings were held in England, Scot
land, Wales and Belfast, Ireland, at |
which prominent Germans addressed
The audience. One series of meetings
were addressed by Jaure of France,
Otto Bauer and Rosa Luxembourg of
Germany, Walter Thomas Mills and
J. Stitt Wilson of this country along
with British speaker. British speak
ers went to Germany but were not
allowed to speak. They could travel
anywhere in that country, visit with
Socialists but when they tried to adj
lress an audience they were arrested
md taken to Bremen, or Hamburg and
placed on a British steamer bound for
England. The British Socialists were
lever put in Jail, while under escort
4 the police they were treated cour-
eously and told they had to go home
s they were not wanted. Later some
f these visitors to Germany were al
owed to speak but when they men,

DEMOCRACY AND RECONVERSION
DEFEATED In THE i. S. SENATE

United States of America because six
senators say they are going to rule,
and they are making good their boast.
Is that what our Fighting Men are
coming home to?
Is that why the workers in facto-
ries, in mines, mills, and in the for
ests should not ask for and receive
better returns for their labor?
The people of the United States
do not need congressional probers,
nor the Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
ton, to tell them who is holding up
reconversion to a peacetime economy
commensurate with the sacrifices of
the people of the whole nation.
And majority in the United States

Mr. " Hubert Johnson
Clay County
Edgar, Nebraska
Dear Sir:
I read in the papers, how you are
trying to organize a Nation Wide
Farmers Strike against strike. Name
ly to help organize Capitalists to de
stroy Labor Unions-the only weapon
the working man has to force the
favored few-to give them a sem
blance of a decent standard of living.
What surprises me, is that there can
be gathered together so many ignor-
ant farmers in so small a place as 1t
appears to be in your locality.
am farmer and have farmed for
80 years, but thank God, he gave me
few brains to think with-so | am
not blinded by the False Propaganda
in the Associated Press that is written
for and by the Capitalists of this
country
am enclosing clipping from The
Peoples Voice, that | hope you will
study and after doing so, | believe you
will do some thinking and change your
mind a lot.
From your name I take it you are
a Scandinavian, and they are not as
rule a stupid race. When they get
facts they usually fight for what is
right
| want to ask you question. Did
you ever stop to think, who are the
customers of the farmer? And what
makes them able to buy your meat,
milk, butter and wheat? The G. M.
and other corporation heads do not
eat as much food as a man at labor,
and perhaps they have one child
or two. Most of them have lap
dog. If labor gets living wage, suffi-
cient for an American Standard of
Living, we hear so much about-but
millions have not food, clothing, or
decent shelter and education. We as
farmers in turn would get and be able
to pay for the oyeralls and machinery
you mention you cannot get.
The farmer and laborer is in the
same boat-if labor cannot buy the |
products the farmer produces, the
farmer has no income. The only way
The farmer can get a decent price for
what he produces, is when labor is
able to buy and pay for the things he
needs. 1t does not matter to labor if
4 loaf of bread is nickel, if he has
not the nickel.
Yours truly,

is estimated at 2OO,O0O,OO0 bushels.
The income tax trouble is that il
farmers sell their wheat holdings now
and then under later pressure from
the government should sell their new
1916 crop before January 1, it would
concentrate the income from two crops
in one year.
That would run the farmers income
taxes up into the surtax brackets
AS a result, some would have virtual
ly to give away the return on con-
siderable part of the two crops. But
by choosing just when to take repay
ment in cash on the loan of wheat,
the farmers could take it at such a
time as to assure that they would
pay taxes on income from only one
crop of wheat in one year.
For illustration, the farmers in the
20 per cent income bracket would be
paying tax of 80 cents on every bush
ell of wheat, those in the 80 per cent
income tax bracket would be paying
As cents on every bushel, and those
in the 40 per cent bracket would be
paying an income tax of so cents
bushel
The farmers also have been educat-
ed in the Northwest, Thatcher said,
to hold back a years crop. 1t has
served both as an ever-normal gran
airy against a short crop season and
as a hedge against fears of initiation.
In an effort to crack loose the
dammed-up supply of wheat on farms
and at the same time ''give the farm
er the same parity of treatment that
congress has accorded to business,
Thatcher proposed his novel plan of
asking farmers to lend their wheat
to the government.
Thatcher stated that approximate
ly $3,200,0 100000 has been set aside
as refundable to business by congress
under the excess profits law. Business
that does not make as much in this |
or the following year as it did in a
fixed prewar period is entitled to re-
bates. "But, not cent is refundable |
to the farmer" Thatcher said "If the
farmer has crop failure there is no
excess profits refund allowed him on
ais tax returns"

In these momentuous and tumultu
Gus early weeks of 1916, when eacl
days recordings, by newspaper ant
radio, is topped by news of controver
sizes between management and labor
by strikes and the threat of more
strikes, involving thousands and hun
dreds of thousands, the most impor
tant of all strikes, in its effect on
contemporary history and its impact
on the worlds future, is given almost
no attention.
We refer to the strike of the minor
ity against the majority taking place
in the United States senate.
This strike is being staged by six
men who, in effect and in fact, say
that the will Of the majority shall not
prevail. /.
These six men say that the Civil
War. was fought in vain. They say
that the recent wars with Germany
and Japan to establish democracy for
the entire world were just two more
bloody and greater human shambles
which establishes nothing at all so
far as the United States senate is con-
cerned.
And the majority in that supposed
ly august and upper legislative body
has admitted that it is helpless-con-
quered.
They admit that Senator Bilbo and
his small band of reactionaries are
in control of the highest legislative
body in a nation which proclaims to
the world it's championship of de-
mocracy.
That is the spectacle of democracy
defeated presented by the members
of the United States senate, who are
paid by the taxpayers of the entire
country to serve the entire country.
This country, the United States of
America, is impotent to establish and
record the will of the majority because
a majority of senators, in cloakrooms,
on junkets, and on campaign tours, |
declare that they are powerless to
legislate so long as six senators say
they shall not
That is the picture presented to the
whole world--democracy in reverse as
practiced in the United States senate |
No 'fact-finding" committees are
needed
No "cooling-off'' periods are needed.
The press and radio have recorded
the facts and they are not denied.
The six senators boast of their pow
er to enforce their will on the entire
country because of hoary rule called
'cloture," a majority of the senators
shamelessly admit their impotence

Mr.. ]. o. Barnard
Poison, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Barnard:
Senator Murray has referred to me
your letter of January 1, 1916, and re-
quested that write you directly rela-
tive to the sale of Fort Peck power
to the Montana-D Dakota Utilities com
pany and the sale of power to the
Southern California Edison company.
Under provisions of the Fort Peck
act of May Is, 1888, the bureau of
reclamation has been charged with the
responsibility of marketing Fort Peck
power and the congress provided
therein that in order to insure that
the facilities for the generation of
electric energy at the Fort Peck prof.
ect shall be operated for the benefit
Of the general public, and particular
ly of the domestic and rural consum-
ers, the bureau shall at all times, in
disposing of electric energy generated
at said project, give preference and
priority to public bodies and cooper
atives.
In order to carry out the provisions
Of the Fort Peck act, to make power
as widely available as possible at an
early date in addition, to conserve
critical materials and natural gas, ne
gotiations were entered into with the
Northumberland Utilities company for
the use of it's existing transmission
facilities. These negotiations result
ed in a contract which became effec-
tive April IL, 1915. The rate sched-
ules were approved by the Federal
Power commission in accordance with
provisions of the Fort Peck act, Sec
lions and of which are quoted for
your information:
"Sec. 5. Schedules of rates and
charges for electric energy produced
at the Fort Peck project and sold to
purchasers as in this act provided
shall be prepared by the bureau and
become effective upon confirmation |
and approval by the Federal Power
such rate schedules may
be modified from time to time by the |
bureau and shall be fixed and estab-
lished with a view to encouraging the
widest possible diversified use of cleo
trio energy. The said rate schedules
may provide for uniform rate or rates
uniform throughout prescribed trans
mission areas in order to extend the
benefits-of an integrated transmission
system and encourage the equitable
distribution Of the electric energy de-
veloped at the Fort Peck project.
"Sec. g. 1t is the intent of congress
