Seddon and Albert Bellamy Visited, the City Last Week Both Believe the War Was Forced by German Military Class James A. Seddon, president of the British Trades Union Congress, and Al- )ert Bellamy, president of the British National Union of Railwaymen, were irisitorB to Vancouver last Friday and Saturday. They had attended tye resent convention of the American Fed- Bration of Labor in Philadelphia, Their mission at that gathering was to urge that the Federation take action to call convention of representatives of labor unions of aU countries, to meet in the [same place at the same time as tho national delegates wbo attend the peace KWerence, which it is presumed will ) ake place at the end of the war. The plan has the further object of trying to Secure direct representation of labor at that conference by one or more delegates from labor organizations. The Lbject of that Ib to prevent the machinations and expose the scheming of secret diplomacy which is held to be largely responsible for the causes which fed to the war. During the course of an interview lth the Federatlonist, both the visitors made it plain that in .their estimation the labor movement of Britain :ould adopt no other course than that if supporting the war. . Mr. Seddon's View. * Hr. Seddon said: "The British trades Jmionists are unanimously in support of Rhe government. They issued a mani- Ijesto pointing out that they were up Against militarism in the worst form Knd that the struggle waB between de- *tocrncy and militarism. The manifesto was not opposed by a single member, fhe tradea unionists' second manifesto .ailing on ex-soldiers to rejoin the inks has been largely responded to by rganized workers. ''' There are between 25,000 and ! , EQ0 members of the National Union of Jailwaymen who have joined the colors. Ve had nn apeal from the Belgian rorkers for help, and thought of taking yer our contributions in hard coin, but •■lth the scarcity of food there, it is Irobable we shall adopt the same course is in the Dublin strike, and purchase [ood Buplies. Aid for the Belgians The British trades unionists have lade a levy of, two cents per member ') aid Belgian workers, and have raised early half a million dollara. The tex- le unionists have voted $10,000 out of ie international fund and the Miners' nion aro making a levy of 25 cents a ember for the same object. German Junkers. Continuing, Mr. Seddon said: "No te regrets .more than I do the terrible Uastrophe which has fallen upon us. I'have been an advocate of peace all }y life, and I think I know as well fca .out people what jingoism and mill- iriam mean. But I am firmly con- inced that there was an element in the ermnn governing class which had de- Ifermlned to crush every tendency to Khnocrncy in its desire to maintain con I'rol. That element was the military nker class. It did not represent the (ommerclnl class and certainly not tbe -orking cIubs. It had a proud con- Impt for both, and scared the German 'orkers into its war policy by preach- lg tlie danger of Russian conquest." Situation In Germany. Speaking of the situation in Germany t the outbreak of the war, Mr. Seddon Jaid: "It is my firm opinion that the nilitnrist party in Germany realized hat if it ever hoped to strike a blow :or its own preservation, it had to do t now. Tbe rapid growth of working ■lass representation in the Reichstag, where tho social democrats «nd cap* fcured 111 seats, one of which represented the very division of Potsdam in which the Kaiser himself lived, coupled with the exposures of warmongering made by Leibknccht last summer, convinced tbe militarist party that the moment had come when they had to make k fight against democracy in their own bountry, and for which they had been preparing just as much as they hnd Keen preparing to fight for increased territory. They had built up a war machine of amazing strength and perfection, with the deliberate intention k making their class masters both in [heir own country and outside of it. In Britain the political power and material [ondition of tho workers is limited and miserable enough, but I could not see, Ond cannot now see, that the efforts of British workers to improve their condi- jon would be furthered by the success w. the German militarist clasB in thiB par That is my firm conviction, and kht is why I have supported the policy 'jf the workera going into the war." i The viewa expressed by Mr. Seddon gere fully.endorsed by his colleague, irhey left Vancouver last Saturday ion for Victoria, where thoy wero met • Alex. Watchman, president of the C. Federation of Labor. From there Key nrer going back to England through Tan Francisco. P. M. Draper and Others Chosen to Contest for Board of Control. Convention Selects Four Candidates for the School Board. Forty labor unions in Ottawa held a convention last week, at which 100 del- egates were present. The meeting was called to consider what should be done about the coming civic elections. It was made plain in the course of I the meeting that organized labor does not intend to endorse any candidates outside its own ranks, the opinion that the convention adhere to its form-' er policy in this direction being supported unanimously. A good deal of time was taken up dls- cuBsing the advisability of running a candidate for the mayoralty. P. M. Draper, the well-known secretary-treasurer of the TradeB' and Labov Congress of Canada, was freely spoken of as a suitable candidate, but after going over all the pros add cons of the qufstion, it was decided not to contest ihe may- oralty. * Four nominees for board of control, aldermanlc candidates in six wards, and public school trustee candidates in four city wards, were named. For controllers the following were nominated: P. M. Draper, J. Ussher, W. Dewar and J. Maloney. Aldermanic lahor candidates were nominated for six wards aB follows: St. George ward—W. J. Devee, Street Railwaymen. By ward—J. Seguin, bricklayer; E. Belair, Carpenters., Victoria ward—A. McGuire, Carpenters; C. Stinson, Carpenters. Wellington ward—i). J. Pearce, Printing Pressmen; W. Fogarty, Plumbers and Steamfltters. Dalhousie ward—A. E. Neumann, Machinists. Capital ward—Alec Campbell, B. of L. E. Nominated as school trustees: Wellington ward—W. L. Beat, Canadian Legislative Representative of B. of U E. nnd F, Rideau ward—A, E, Sheppard, Typos. Victoria word—J. Cameron, Stonemasons. Dalhousie—J. Patterson, Machinists. The wisdom of endorsing any candidate outside the ranks of organized labor was questioned and it was unanimously agreed that the former policy of the labor movement of tho city as expressed at other conventions should be upheld and only bona fide members of labors own ranks be supported.

Rosa Luxembourg's appeal against the sentence of a year's imprisonment for urging German workmen not to shoot on their French comrades has been dismissed, and she is now in prison The speeches for which the socialist leader was prosecuted were delivered, of courBe, prior to the war. It will be recalled that the sentence provoked huge demonstrations throughout Germany. The trial of the appeal was postponed in consequence of the military scandal which was likely to be {trovoked by the testimony of the very arge number of witnesses to be called by the defence. Since the war broke out Rosa Luxembourg has been one of the few German socialists who have remained faithful to the professions of the international, and the confirmation of the sentence may be attributed to that fact. The event, however, cannot fail to impress the great body of German socialists, among whom Mme. Luxembourg lias enormous influence. Labor Olub Billiards. Tho Lnbor Templo club billiard tournament was concluded this week the winners being: Fred. Sayers, first; John Patterson, second; and Dave Somerville, high break. The prizes were, $10 and $5 medals. A great deal of interest was shown in the competition, owing to the various trades represented among tho competitor. The carpenters, despite the strenuous efforts of the other trades, carry off all the prizes, although Sayers is not nt present working at the trade. Another tournament is to bo arranged in the near future. Ono of tho moat interested features was the confidence of Mr. David Hood, of the Pnintors' union, in his ability to capture the first prize. So enthusiastic did he become that he sold the medal for $5 and afterwords had to return the money because of his inability to make good hia high estimate of his powers aB a billiard player. Building Decreases Heavily. Building permits in Vancouver for November numbered 40, valued at $1,- 584,475. Novombor, 1013, they were 101 nt 4300,565. The difference this yoar ia chiefly due to the new government elevator which is to cost well over $1,000,000. For the 11 months ending November 30th, thiB year, 1,201 permits were issued, valued at $4,444,711. For the corresponding period last year there were 1,032 permits at $10,248,802, Tho decrease for this year compared with laat is bo far $5,804,001. Parker Williams to Speak. Parker Williams, M. P.

According to now«p»j»r caMoo received lut Tuesday,-* new bill, providing for national defence ln the face of the war situation, la now before the Brltlih parliament and will become law. It la known aa tha Defence of the Realm Consolidation Act. It gives the Admiralty and the Army Council full power over private property and individuals, if in the opinion of the authorities national safety retuires such action, Unlimited power of search and arrest is given. This action has probably been deolded upon aa the result of the authorities besoming aware that certain persona have betrayed naval and military secrets to Germany. . From British papers, lt Is evident that fOr some Ume the search powers of the police and Investigation department have been considerably enlarged. Business ftrms known to have Ween engaged In trade with Germany before the war, are stated to have had their books closely scrutinised by expert book-keepers on behalf of the state, to see if they wen engaged In any transactions with the enemy whereby the safety of the state waa endangered. * If any person or company of persons should be found to be supplying Germany with munitions of war they will doubtless be arraigned on a charge of treason. To those charged with the defence of Britain this new Act will be a great aid, Now it waa proved long before the war started, that a gigantic International armament trust consisting of the chief armament manufacturers of Europe was in existence. Bri tish money was alleged to be invested in German concerns of that kind, agreements and understandings were alleged to exist between firms representative of the two nations, and there seemed to be the very beet of reasons to suspect that Brltlih Investors were deriving proflt from the sale of arms and ammunition to Germany, and vice versa. That feeling hat never been allayed, and this new act la the very thing needed to give the authorities power to Investigate the Investments of thoie holding financial interest In armament firms.. By doing so lt could be found ont If any of thoae people are now actually deriving profit from the sale of armaments to Germany, It would have the double effect of serving the state and satisfying the well- grounded suspicions of thousands of thinking people who have sot forgotten the ominous statements about the armament trust made ln both Great Britain and Germany only a month or two before war broke ont, As far back as June 12, 1913, the Labor Leader published a list of politicians, clergymen, peers, banks, financiers, newspaper ownen and others having financial intensts in the shape of shares and holdings ln armament manufacturing firms. Ths Federatlonist la republishing the list below does so with the reaueat that the British government will use its powers under the new Act to find out If any of thoie mentioned an now deriving flnanclal benefit from the lale of armaments to Germany or Austria. The list was as follows: WORK OF WOMEN'S L Store Will Be Opened Saturday Near Loew's Theatre. Has Tremendous Number of Women on Its List The result of the work' of the Women'a Employment League bo far aB the manufacture of toys and dolls are concerned will be soon on Saturday next, in the store of tho White Sewing Machine Co., Granville street, neur Loew's theatre. Dolls representative of every nation will be on sale, dolls of every possible kind, clowns, punches, red cross nurses in several sizes, military dolls of every kind, French, Russian, English, Belginn, Japanese, to say nothing of the Kilties in several sizes. Black cats or "Hoo- Hoo" Cats side by side with dainty fairies in muslin and silver tinsel, Belgian carts drawn by dogs. Little Boy Blue, side by aide with Little Bo Peep. Toy cannon and wiggle woggles, all will be on sale on Saturday next. All the toys are the work of the women who but for this would be out of work at the present time. It is the output of three week's labor and it must be remembered thnt it is unskilled labor. Every women had to be taught how to work at making dolls, and taking into consideration the difficulties of unskilled labor and lack of proper material to be obtained in Canada, the result of the last three weeks' work is very satisfactory.

Neither of the above events will reflect credit on the government, | thorefore unless something is very speedily dono besides investigating (aa proposed by Sir Richard McBride) the present provincial government will have to answer a very serioua charge. Meantime, the toys made by the women whom it has been possible to assist, will be ready for all to buy, and tho more bought, tho more women can be put to work. Come nnd buy! H, G. [Special to The Federationist.] EL PASO, Texas, Nov. 29.—The Zapata forces have taken Mexico City. Emiliano Zapata, personally, has made a atatement repudiating all the capitalist parties and factions of Mexico. All the churches have been confiscated nnd closed and nearly five hundred priests of the capital of the Republic expelled from the country. The plutocrats all have left the city for the coast and for the first time in five hundred years, the workers control Mexico City. It is probable that the Villa faction will attack Zapata in the near future. The workers are ready to repel tho attack although they are short of artillery. The Carranza bunch of grafters took away to Vera Cruz all the artillery and ammunition stored in the arsenals. Peace is far away yet in Mexico. Zapata and the workers are going to fight in order to put out of action the three different factions of the capitalist class that want the power, viz., Carranza, Villa and Felix Diaz, Zapata wants the complete elimination of the politicians, soldiers, priests nnd capitalists. One of the first acts of Zapata in Mexico City was to abolish the ao-called courta of juatice. He said that all the lawyers should go to work and produce something useful to the community. The workers of Mexico City are enjoying the entrance of the peons of Morelos who are tho real liberators of the people. Zapata refused to go to the National Palace and made headquarters in the humble house of a workingmnn. He wants the National Palace and the great cathedral converted into museums of science and art. The news of the capitalist papers about the union of Zapata with the murderer Villa, tool of United States corporations, aro lies, simply lies. Zapata and the workers will have nothing to do with any faction that ia opposed to tho abolition of privnto property in public necessities. District 28 Elects Officers. The following have been elected as officers of District 28, United Mine Workera of America, Vancouver Island, for the year 1915: President, Robert Foster; vice-president, J. J. Taylor; secretary-treasurer, J. McAllister; International Board-member, J. Naylor; District auditors, P. McNivon, G. Gold, W. Head. District executive board members will be elected from local unions this month. Building ln Victoria. • Building permits to the value of only $2,133,085 were issued in Victoria from January 1st to November 30th. These figures explain why nearly all building tradesmen in Victoria have been unemployed this year. 1889—1914 VANOOUVER TRADES AND LABOR OOUNOIL Requests the pleasure of your company at the CELEBRATION OF ITS 25th ANNIVERSARY ■ to be held in LABOR TEMPLE Saturday, December 6th, 1914 at 8 p.m. —:o:— Jos.

He also stated that the special committee entrusted with the preparations for the twenty-fifth anniversary meeting had made provision for an enjoyable evening for all who wish to attend the celebration in Labor Temple, Saturday, December 5th.

In view of that, it was decided to aak Mr. Mansell and Mr. Welsh to both appear before the next meeting of the parliamentary committee in order that the matter could be adjusted. The council voted $100 to defray the initial expenses of the campaign. It waB reported that the Board- of Trade was desirous of submitting a scheme for land settlement to the provincial government. The board wished to have the assistance of the council in this matter, and it was decided to comply with that wish.

Bartenders reported they .were holding a "smoker" on Decomber 15th. Electricnl workers again protested agninst the reduction of wages of their members employed in, tho police and fire department. A committeo of three consisting of Delegates Dunn, McVety and Pettipiece were selected to appear before the city council to protest against the reduction in wages of electrical workera and others in the employ of the city.

AU substitutes working three days or over per I week shall be assessed three per eent. of their total earning!. Members, If they so desire, in lieu of laying off, ahall give the day's pay to a substitute." " Accepts Arbitration After an extended discussion of the subject, whieh has been up for consideration off and on for the past three j years, it was decided to authorize the 1 officers to become parties to the American Newspaper Publishers' Association arbitration agreement, along with the local publishers*' association, Tha New Scale A proposed new scale of prices and working conditions was submitted by the local newspaper publishers' association, to take the place of the present agreement which expires at the end of | this month. A draft agreement, prepared by the scale committee, was also read and, with a few amendments, pro- vi-inx-ll-** mt.A * U_ At—. - • - BOY AND THE GANG. Professor Says Gregarious Instinct Is Keynote. Professor G. Walter Fiske, of Oberlln Theological seminary, has been making a special study of boys, which haB led him to certain conclusions. One of tbe most important of these is that tho boy is naturally a gangster. That is, that he is to be found with and part of "the gang." It is not his habit to travel alone, and, as a member of his gang, he develops a code of ethics all his own. In tho case of the average "gang," Professor Fiske figures that tho code consists of these nine underlying principles: Selfish interests are predominant, practically to the exclusion of all altruistic motives. Tho boy's only group ethics come from his relationships in tho "gang." The boy sincerely believes that might makea right, and that fighting ia tho juat way to settle quarrels. Property rights aro but little respected, and this respect depends largely upon the boy's experiences as an owner. Tho boy believes that common ownership exists in nil things not owned by individuals he knows. His distinctions between right and wrong aro based upon tho gang's customs, not on his reasoning. The boy haa a separate code for thoHo within the gang and another for outsiders. Thus he is a hero if he lies to save tho gang, but ho may not lio to a gang member. The boy demands fair play, knows what it is, will fight for it, and will share it. The public opinion of the gang, not of the family or achool, is the source and censor of his ethics. Tho subject is one that should greatly interest both parents and teachers, as should also tho professor's suggestion thnt if the boy is to be reached at all and influenced for good, it must bo from hia "gang" side. . .The report of the Dopartmcnt of La- bor, for November Bays of general conditions in the dominion:—"Owing to the fact that a great many of the loading trades havo agreements with employers in which a wngo Bcnlo is specifically sot, out, there waa but little in tho way of actual cutting of wage rates, but many industries adopted the short time policy or laid off a number of their employeea.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 4, 1914 TBOUBLE 18 BREWING for the Bowser-McBridt! government! if we read the signs of the times aright. It is not coming from the outside of the conservative party so much as from the inside. TOSOABB ' -A P°™r£ul influr* sent movement is THE LITE OUT a * ■"***■ v«* growing up and OT McBEIDE gaining Btreugth every day/ which in beginning to look decidedly ugly for the present government. It has for its objeot the question of land settlement in British Columbia. Down at the bottom, it really consists of a group of conservatives and liberals/ who are business men and investors, and who are just beginning to realize that, unless the land of the province is put into cultivation and made productive, they are in danger of seeing their real estate and other investments reduced to ruins, and themselves in the bankruptcy court. Their experiences of the past six months have taught them that, in the last analysis, any value which attaches to deeds or share script which they have eome to look up as representing wealth, really depends upon being able to lay claim to the products of labor from the natural resources of the province. But the province haB not been made productive at a rate to keep pace with the reckless speculation' of the last few years. And a condition haB arisen which anyone with a rudiment of knowledge of economics knew muBt come sooner or later. •» * » « The result is, that confronted by the threat of eommon disaster, liberals and conservatives alike, have east aside their make-believe and humbug about political difference between them, and have, for the time being, joined hands -and forces to rescue each other from the financial cataclysm which threatens both. So they are going to try to raise an agitation noisy and strong enough to force Bowser and McBride either into action or out of offlce. They say —and most likely in their muddle-headed way Borne of them really believe— that they are actuated solely by public spirit and altruistic motives to take thiB action for the general benefit of the whole of the people of British Columbia. That kind of deceit and illusion seems to be an indispensable part of such movements everywhere and at all times. But really and truly, they only want to get the working people aroused to a pitch of enthusiasm which will make their attitude genuinely alarming to Bowser and McBride, so that the latter will come out with a land policy which will satisfy the business element. Then the working-class, having again performed its time-honored mission on behalf of the bourgeois, will be silently told to go to the devil or anywhere else it choses, so long as it does not make a nuisance. PILE IT ON TO THE LABOB UNIONS AND LOAFING are two terms whieh mean the same thing in the opinion of the "British Columbian," a New Westminster newspaffcr which spends most of its editorial time trying to say nothing in the dullest possible way in or- UNION8 der not to em barrass the Mo- Bride-Bowser government. It all came up in an editorial dealing with the "Made in Canada" cry, wherein union workmen were told they, were not so commercially patriotic as, they ought to be, and as they would be if they had the welfare of their employers at heart, as all good workmen should have. Unfortunately, many of the labor unions aim not only to restrict output, but also to encourage indifference toward the quality of manufactured articles The closed shop advocates say: "Do not work too hard or too well; the skilful workman should not set the pace for the unskillful" The result, MUNICIPAL DEBENTURES OF B.C.

Now we know the unsuspected depths of infamy in the labor movement. And if we were not such hardened unbelievers we might accept this admonition with becoming humility and credence. * * » * Business is business, and no sentimental considerations can be taken into account nowaday when a matter of business is in question. That is the attitude of employers to workmen who adduce sentimental reasons for a rise in wages. Alright. The charge here is that workmen bind themselves together for the purpose of selling labor for as much money as possible. There are unions of employers also. Are they formed for the purpose of giving the purchasing public as much as possible for its money, or as little t Do they try to lower or raise the price of commodities? Are they desirous of Belling an article of good quality just for the sake of the moral satisfaction they get from it? Is it not true that the only urge they have to sell good quality goods is the fact that they want to keep their trade! If they could keep trade by selling goods of the worst quality, which would wear out quicker and thereby create a demand for more, would they not do so? The more they can sell the better living they make. It is just the same with workmen. The only thing between them and starvation is ability to sell their labor. We will be frank and honeBt and say that a man who works his very hardest one week with the result that he is out of a job and starving the next, is an ass. It isn't his fault, nor is it his employers. It is the fault of an industrial system based qn exploitation of man by man, and whieh turns life into a dog eat dog affair. « « ■ *. * As to labor unions encouraging indifference to the quality of manufactured goods, that is not true. It is not untrue because labor unionists feel any personal interest in the product of their labor. But it is true that a workman would rather make a good article than a bad one because it takes more time to make a good article and gives more employment. Workmen have every material reason for doing good work. They have no moral or ethical reason for doing good work. If the product of their labor waB theirs when complete, they would have a personal interest in the quality of it. The chief reason work' men have for doing good work, is not pride in the quality of it, but the desire to hold the job. But the policy of employers is '' get it done," " get away from it," "as long as it looks like what it is meant to be, let it go." Sham, shoddy, cheap, and make believe, are the keynote of industry carried to the point where custom is endangered but not actually sacrificed. Concrete minus cement, paint minus lead, adulteration, graft, fraud and corruption in every branch of commerce and industry. All for the sake of profit. Workmen have nothing to do with it. Their business is to do work in the way which those who employ them order it to be done. That means the cheapest way which can be devised without loss of trade. thoritieu would have hesitated one mo- obey, even though a few thousand might have been slaughtered that jway! The argument would have been between armed iron discipline, and unarmed moral protest. The only result would have been instant death to the latter. There is not the slightest reason to believe that the military authorities of Germany would have hesitated one moment to take the bull by the hornB and drown any incipient revolt in its own blood. It may be depended upon that all that had been carefully thought out long before, like many more things, and a line of action decided upon. The academic reasoner, miles away from the factual circumstances will probably say thnt the social democrats might just as well have taken a chance of being shut at home as go and run a similar risk on the battlefield, Such reasoning might seem very plausible to a group of experts sitting round a stove, but it wouldn't work out in tho highly charged atmosphere which must have attended the mobilization of the German army. Moreover the love of life is very deep, and mon in the mass do not, and never will, voluntarily surrender a chance of retaining it. How mnny of their critics would or could have done differently from these social democrats if they had been in their position. Any blatant hair-split: ter can be a heroe and a martyr by proxy, a thousand miles away from any danger of having to become one in reality. It does not cost such people anything to advise the other fellow to stand against a wall and be shot. But it will take more than mere blaming and criticism to shew him how to avoid such a dilemma in circumstances like those which confronted the social democrats in Germany when war broke out. WHAT WOULD TOU LONG DISTANCE PBITICS of the German Bocial democrats, almost all seem to be of the opinion that they, in responding to the call to armB shewed a particularly contemptible weakness. Some say they were merely fools, while others go the whole HAVE DONE hog and say that they Bhould have allowed themselveB to be shot rather than go to the war. Very little of thiB. criticism shews any charity, and most of it is lacking in imagination. The position of the social democrats when war broke wae, that some of them were already on the active list, and others were on the reserve. As far as those actually in the ranks at the time are concerned, it seems more than reasonable to assume that the same military system which has since then given such amazing proof of organization and perfection in detail, knew almost to a man which were the social democrats in the army, The position of those not in active service was that they were in ordinary civil Ufe. Thus some were in the ranks, some in the reserves, and others in the Landsturm which is composed of the older men, The only ones of these who had arms—and most likely no ammunition—were the men in the ranks who would be scattered and sprinkled among the various regiments. * « * » The first thing that would have been neceBBary to a mutiny or revolt, would have been to organize it by simultaneous communication with each unit. With all the Btate services—including the postal and telegraph systems—in the hands of the military junkers, how was that communication to be secured? Perhaps some critics will say that no such action should have been necessary, but that every social democrat should have refused individually to respond. If men were mathematics Instead of human that might have been the case. But they are not, and in circumstance like that there would have to be some central point of direction in perfect and speedy touch with every man in the scheme, otherwise nothing but muddle and failure could be expected. But even suppose they had acted spontaneously. The majority of them would have been without arms, and the balance probably without ammunition. What would have happened? Docs anyone suppose for a moment, after what we have learned of German military discipline during the last few months, that the military au- ment to shoot those who refused to ZAPATA THE LEADEB of the peons of Mexico is, in the opinion of the Daily Province, everything that is vile from a human standpoint. We are told he is "a notorious murderer whose ZAPATA cruelty iB a by-word from one end of THB BEAIi Mexico to the oth- PBOBLEM. , er." And that the "things he has done to some of his captives are un speakable. He and his brother for a long time have been the terror of the state of Morelos and the mountains lying between Mexico City and the west coast." Finally, we are assured that his idea of liberty is summed up in "a cigarette and no work.'' Comment of that kind, as a rule, is the flippant impudence which does duty as a substitute for truth with those newspapers which dare not tell the truth even if they knew it. This example is no exception. It is only part and parcel of a steady and studied policy which the ordinary press of this continent has adopted in dealing with all matters affecting the activities of the forces behind, Zapata. • *, * # « These people well know the difference between the revolution led by Zapata and the machinations of men like Huerta, Carranza, Villa et al. One represents the uprising of soil slaves held in economic bondage for centuries'by the great landed proprietors whose ancestors took the land, from the peons by force. The other represents the personal plottings and schemings of astute mea bent upon using the present condition of Mexico for their personal advantage and ambition. The peons behind Zapata stand for the abolition of private property in land. They have realized their object insofar as the state of Morelos is concerned, and they are' prepared to hold what they have by risking their lives if need be. And they will be a desperate quantity for anyone to conquer, now that they have once tasted the joy of their release from bond-slavery, and the full fruits of the land which they have bought with their blood and tilled with their hands. As to murderers, anyone that sets out to champion the' Diaz, Madero, Huortn, Villa, Carranza movements, and their methods during the past three years, should be quite an authority on murderers. The soil of Mexico for centuries has been stained by the blood of the common people deluded by such as these. And now that the peons have awakened to the realization that thu only friends they have are themselves, it is, little wonder that we see their agelong enemies striving with all the influence of venom nnd misrepresentation to bring discredit upon their efforts. old-fashioned and fumbling habits which prevailed in earlier days. * * * « Then came the war, and with its coming the capacity for keen and balanced judgment seemed to collapse Altogether,' or at least to become suspended for the time being.. Men of the keenest and most critical typos of mind, who formerly could see at first glance right into the heart of any big and complicated question, all at once became one-eyed and could not see straight even With that one. They seemed to stop thinking, to stop weighing facts/and to surrender their, judgment body, boots and breeches, to the absolutely unreasoning and prejudiced attitude of mind which war requires of men if they intend to follow its ways. Up to the beginning of war it was not so.' But after that, with a few rare and isolated exceptions, there has been no attempt' to scrutinize the issue with that analytical impartiality which iB necessary to separate facts and fiction, which the prejudice of all parties to the dispute must necessarily give rise to. This almost complete paralysis of the critical faculty is not by any means confined' to \ those whose opportunities of acquiring education and trained judgment have been limited. It pervades every strata of society, and in the minds of those who are hoping that out of the savagerey are hoping that out of the savagery sanity of the future, it bodes no good. When kings fall out common men fall in. Don't forget that twenty-fifth anniversary celebration to-morrow (Saturday) night. Joseph Messiah Martin is very busy these days searching the wilderness for the lost tribes of Liberalism. The Liberal party "unity" Bmoklng concert last Saturday consisted chiefly of a programme of pipe dreams. When the working class of British Columbia get enough sense to ignore Bowser and McBride as much as they ignore the workers there will be a different story to tell. It must surely have been some wag that called the present provincial government "conservative." That is about the last thing it is On the other hand it is one of the most liberal and prodigal aggregations any man might wish to see in action. It has given away the lands, the mines, the fisheries and the credit of the province as fast as it could do it. Nothing but the mania of men for names and symbols instead of facts and realities, could explain such a joke as calling the Bowsor-Mc- Bride combination "conservative." BEFORE THE WAB started, there was growing evidence that the world was gradually becoming filling to adopt the scientific spirit in matters of judgment, as against the old bat-blind preju- WAB AND diced way in which TJTT1WAW *** D6W thin* Wft8 human treated by the folk JUDGEMENT of a few generations ago. Intelligence and reason, in many departments of social and industrial life, had forced mere views and opinions with nothing more than personal feeling to back them, to the wall by sheer force of efficiency. Sanitation superseded incantation as a means of riddance from infectious disease. Steam and electrical power have been universally adopted, in spite of the woeful predictions of early Victorian ancients, that such things were devices of the devil and would bring disaster to all who used tbem. Common-sense, had laid fast hold on the fact that ignorance was destructive and wasteful. The material evolution of Bociety during the past fifty years, as expressed in the industrial development of that period, was forcing men to substitute intelligence for the Last Monday one hundred clerks employed in the provincial government offices in Victoria were fired. As they practically all got their jobs by "pull" for good and faithful service valiantly performed at election time, it means that their dismissal will be bad business for the Bowser-McBride machine.

He does not want to be reduced to, $4,200, but he is willing to go into private practice again and do tbe city job as a side line at $3,600 a year. Even at that he says he will be making a sacrifice. There are all kinds of briefless lawyers in Vancouver just now and this is a good place to work off .that "current rate of wages" clause. Dr. Fraser laBt Sunday night, speaking on the problem of unemployment, said: "I have not the faintest idea of a solution to this problem, not the remotest idea." Well, what about it? Did anyone expect he had? Why even Bill Taft when asked for a solution of the question said "God knows." He was only a politician, but if those who are supposed to be closer to the information bureau can't find out, then it seems a pretty bad outlook. When the News-Advertiser will*admit, as it did a week ago, that "every man who haB an office in the city is visited frequently by strangers asking for the price of a meal or a bed," it means that conservative slow-coach is at last beginning to suspect what other people have known for months. It is characteristic of the conservative disposition that it should not have any knowledge of something being wrong in its social surroundings until apprised of it through the medium of a "touch." It Bhould be called the "Snooze-Advertiser." Three boys, working as drivers in No. 1 shaft of the Western Fuel company, Nanaimo, appeared last' Saturday morning in the provincial court before Magistrate Simpson, charged by Provincial Mine Inspector Newton with having on November 18th committed an infraction of special rule 83, by riding on the trucks without permission. They were fined $10 each. If the inspectors would only be as strict with the mine owners as they are with these boys, the iniquitous conditions which led to the strike would not be tolerated. But it's another story altogether when it comes to getting after the owners. They have the protection of Bowser. The boys have not.

HALL, "The Mo4cm Pentist" Municipal Elections To Be Contested by Local Labor Unionists Al| Trades Report Most Members Are Unemployed. NEW WESTMINSTEB, B. 0., Nov. 25.—Regular meeting of New Westminster Trades and Labor council held this evening, President H. Knudsen in the chair. — Communications: From B. G. F. of lire Compensation act for province; filed. From city hall; Montreal, asking for wages paid tb workmen; received and secretary to comply with request. From Hon. J. W. Bowser, as to clearing public lands; -flled. From Col. J. D. Taylor, M. P., as to the clearing of dominion lands; filed. From J. B. Duncan, vice-president Manufacturers' association of B. C, inviting members of T. and L. council,to attend a meeting to promote purchase ofv made-in-B. C. goods; as the meeting was held the same evening as the T. and L. council meeting, the' secretary explained that he had written to Mr. Duncan stating that it might not be possible for a. delegation to attend, but extended the wishes of the couneil for the success of any movement looking to the prosperity of industries that employ white labor; received and action of the secretary concurred in. Reports, Delegate Stoney, on behalf of the joint campaign and entertainment committee, reported that at the first meeting 11 out of the 15 members attended. Various matters were referred to subcommittees, including candidates for aldermen and school trustees. The first week in December the regular public meeting would be held'for the nomination of candidates. It was proposed to hold a concert, not a smoker, which the ladies could attend. Delegate Jameson added that former President Cameron had been considered as an aldermanie candidate, but had not announced his decision; received1 and committee given more time. Reports of Unions. Typos.—About the same. Plumbers—Generally the same; work slack. Barbers—Pretty quiet. Bartenders—About the same; few men idle, few on half time, Cigarmakers—Only about seven men out of 19 working in town. Carpenters—No improvement. Musicians—Pretty quiet. Brewery Workera—Working two days a week. Painters—About the same; couple of men got some work on city barn. Timber WorkerB—Not much change; didn 't see anybody loafing, so they must be working. Engineers—No improvement. Electrical Workers—Same as at last meeting; mostly all working. Street Bailway Employees—Four men out of work on Sapperton-Edmonds line; couldn't be much worse. New Business. Statement by H. Knudsen, president, as to B. C. of Ij,, laid on table for one month. Amendment to constitution and bylaws carried by unanimous vote, but must come up at next meeting when it will have to be carried by at least two* thirds majority to become effective. Delegate Yates reported that baby bonds committee met, but took no definite action after two .and half hours discussion. A holding company was the favorite idea. Nothing doing until the city may use its sinking fund, Beceived and further time granted. A letter from an engineer called attention to the proposal to have men work for their board and bed in Van-' couver. As the council felt assured that the Vancouver Trades and Labor coun-: cil would be on the job and endeavor to see that a fair day's work received fair day's pay, on motion of Delegates Yates and Jardine, the secretary was instructed to convey to the Vancouver TradeB and Labor council assurances of hearty support from the New Westminster Trades -and Labor council in this matter. Delegate Lewis said that Barr & Anderson sent their foreman over from Vancouver to work on the steam heating plant at the Boyal City hospital, and there were no local men employed and it looked as if the foreman intended to do all the work all alone, which would keep local men out of work. Referred to the municipal committee. Delegate Yates said the city had reduced one class of men $1 per day, and might extend that policy unless protest were made. Teams were reduced from $7 tq $6 per day about a month ago and the team owner had to stand it, ns there was no reduction in the price of feed, etc. Referred to municipal commttieo to protest against reductions. Delegato Stoney brought up the matter of the city council buying electricity from the B. C. E. R., and then on motion of Aid. Goulet giving it to that concern free to demonstrate their cooking appliances at a made-in-B, C. boosters' meeting. Also that the Y. M. PAGE TOREK C. A. was not a charitable institution and should not get'a grant from the city. On his motion the council went on record as opposed to the free electricity idea ana protesting against it and any grant to the Y. M. C. A. Delegate Stoney announced that he had -copies of the report of the royal commission on labor for the use of the delegates, and they were quickly disposed of. Referring back to reports from unions, Delegate Cropley announced that there was no improvement so far as the molders were concerned, and the reason he was late was because of an accident in the shop, and not ft surplus of work. Oalgary Starts Relief Work. Calgary city council has opened np relief work for the unemployed on sewer- construction. Six hours .will be a days' work, and the wages will be 25 cents per hour.

EAST Pheae HliUud «•» sSl^iSSil^a Union MADE Jeer fwvBo Eleven men are to be hanged in public in the square of the capital city of Arizona on December 11. This will mark the revenge of the governor—as he thinks—upon the majority of Arizona voters, who pronounced against the abolition of the death penalty in that state last election. .The governor is a strenuous advocate of its abolition, and he expects to shame its opponents ,and bring home a sense of personal 'guilt to them by the exhibition, It may be tough—in theory—on the voters, but it wiU be still more so in actual practice for the doom'ed eleven. The Governor of Arizona is a poor sociologist if he imagines that the voters will be shamed by the spectacle, He doesn 't know it, of course, but the probabilities are that, on the contrary, he will please them immensely. For one thing, it will bring business to the town, and we have yet to see the moral tragedy that would offset that consideration, Many years ago, travelling on an agitation tour through Pennsylvania, we struck a small town in an out-of-the- way county, which seemed to be in an advanced stage, of despondency. On inquiry at the local newspaper office, it appeared that a neighboring community which had always been hostile to the interests of this one had pulled wires with some Harrisburg politicians and had thereby secured the hanging of a condemned murderer which the saddened community had beep almost certain of securing. The rival newspapers were slang- whanging each other vociferously over the matter, for it waB recognized that the ceremony would secure all sorts of local business to the place where it was, staged. The local journalistic palladium of liberty immediately started an extra Fourth of July celebration, In which there were to he innumerable attractions, one of which was "the reading of the Declaration of Independence in a loud and impressive voice" by a rising young lawyer of the community, who had political aspiration. But it was universally felt that this was but a sorry substitute for the original attraction and did little to dispel the gloom which had settled on the community. Punkville mourned as one who would not be comforted. Some years later in the same state the writer had the misfortune to adversely affect the business interests of another small city by delivering the first socialist open-air address which had ever been attempted there. We say "been attempted," for the address waB never delivered, the speaker being mobbed and driven out of the town by a committee of the most responsible citizens after—it Ib only fair t6 admit—they had given him due warning not to orate. The community recovered from the attack on local industries some time afterwards by publicly burning a "nigger^' in the market place, and thus restoring prosperity. This of course, says the New "York Call, is not possible in the Arizona case, but there is no reason why the hanging, as the governor desires to stage it, should not be utilized as a temporary reviver of local business. Tho railroads, we have no doubt, would do all in their power by running cheap special trains to the spectacle, as they did a short timo ugo on a similar occasion in Mississippi, to stimulate the influx of Btrangers with money to spend after beholding the great moral spectacle. • For that is what a hanging is in tho minds of those who appreciate it, and the mistake of the governor of Arizona and those like him consists in persistently denying it and imagining that the advocates of capital punishment are merely superficial people wbo delight in the spectacle of death agoniea without experiencing any deep moral satisfaction therefrom, though the most casual examination would show that capital punishment has the highest possible moral sanction. There's scripture for it, galore, while the other view has nothing but new-fangled humanitarian clap-trap behind it, in the minds of those who insist on the old law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. The governor of Arizona, if he really wants to discourage capital punishment, should go ahead and advertise the hanging widely und attractively as a public spectacle. Then, at the last moment, he should countermand it and have the executions in private. Such a course would do far more to abolish capital punishment than his original program. Let him disappoint the business expectations arising from the contemplated spectacle and he takes a long stop toward its abolition altogether. Since most executions become private, the demand for their abolition altogether haB proceeded by leaps and bounds, but absolutely the best way of restoring and strengthening the belief in capital punishment is as the governor proposes, to make the spectacle public and advertise it as such. Countless Ways in Which Labor Might Exert Its Influence Means of Doing Immediate Gpoi) and. Cementing • Base ■ Municipal bodies derive tbeir powers from legislatures and are always subject to control by the higher authority, says a writer in the Winnipeg Voice. Because of this some labor men think the working class should not bother with municipal politics till they control the superior oodles It is probably true that the workers will not be able to revolutionize their condition without first capturing the full.powers of the state.. Yet it is a poor imagination that cannot discern countless ways in which labor might exert a wholesome influence on society during the preliminary stages of the struggle. Municipalities control housing, sanitation, public 'health, parka, charity and other departments of public effort. What nonsense it is to say that labor could derive no benefit from participating in the control of these things. Most labor men think public ownership a good thing; it at least tends to raise the conditions of labor. By controlling municipal politics labor eould impart a great impetus to the movement for public ownership, and could exercise a useful influence on the management of municipally-owned utilities, Here, decidedly, advantage could be obtained. Ab cities grow larger, the municipal corporations tend to become the largest employers in the country. It would be a nice thing for labor to control its largest employers. Moreover, the spending powers of municipalities get greater every day. New avenues for municipal enterprise open up constantly; and it seems probable that some of the most important community work of the near future will be done in the municipal arena. It promises to be the experimental stage for the society of to-morrow. Labor men should therefore not neglect municipal politics, It is true they are handicapped by the property qualifications required for electors; but this difficulty could be removed by persistent pressure. Workingmen, even as it is, outnumber all other classes of voters, and could exert an influence that would surprise them did they oare to try. It is not for the purposes of the social revolution that workmen should enter municipal politics; that task must be achieved by an attack on the Central law-making bodies, But as a means of doing immediate good and cementing a base from which to make further Btrides, the municipal elections offer unrivalled opportunities. Begina Carmen Warned, One day last week Begina street railwaymen found notices posted In the barns, informing the employees that by taking an active part in the municipal campaign they would be in danger of summary dismissal. The announcement created quite a stir amongst some of the employees, who read into the notice a threat to dismiss any man who voted. It was believed that the notice wns poscted because of the labor candidates being in the field. It has never been posted in the car barns previous to this year. Street Carmen Want Eight Hours. The Street Car Men 'b union of Cleveland, Ohio, has asked the city council to authorize appropriations to mako possible an eight-hour minimum work day and to instruct the Cleveland Railway company to make tbe change. The city and company have a working agreement in the operation of the road. Ah! great is the nation whose mothers Have leisure to train and to plan. Ah! great is a mother's devotion And sacred the children of man. Oh God, how long will we watch her Falter and labor in vain Before we arise ond defend her And lighton her burden and pain - —Rose Henderson, The only mistake that Carnegie made I in erecting his peace palace was in not | having it fortified.

FIRST VOLLEY IN THE MUNICIPAL LABOR CAMPAIGN TO BE FIRED BT THE CANDIDATES. A SHORT ADDRESS BV MISS HELEN OUTTRIDOE ADMISSION FREE IN TEN STATES Twenty - two States Give Limited Franchise to Women. Association Believes the Influence of Women Surprised AIL Amcrit'iui women now have full suffrage in ten states and in tho territory of Ahukii, according to returna from the election, which apparently gave tbe franchise to women in Nevada and Mont ami. Lute tabulation of the vote on equal Buffruge in Nevada and Montana did not upset the lead previously recorded in favor of the women. These missing precincts might overturn the' 300 vote lead in Montana, but probably not the lead of ..,500 in Nevada. lu addition to the ten states now listed as granting full franchise to women, they have the right to vote for certain officers in 2 states. The ten woman suffrage states and the year of granting the franchise are: Wyoming, 1890; Colorado, 1893; Utah 1899; Washington, 1910; California, 1912; Arizona, 1912; Kansas, 1912; Oregon, 1912; Nevada, 1914; Montana, 1914. The 22 states allowing partial suffrage to women are: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Despite the claims of woman suffrage leaders that they won the vote in some of the other seven stateB which voted on the subject recently, late returns bear out early indications that the franchise wub denied women in Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota. Officers of the National Woman Suffrage association contend that the women were instrumental in California in passing the laws that drive out pugilism and segrated vice quarters and failed in driving out saloons only because of the too drastic provisions of the amendment. . The leaders also declare that women aided materially in voting prohibition for Washington, Oregon and Colorado. The vote on the ousting of Baloons is still in doubt in Colorado, however. WILL OOVERNMENT INVESTIGATE ARMAMENT TRUST IN BRITAIN? (Continued from page 1) PIONEER SOCIALIST DEAD. The secretary of Nanaimo branch of the Social Democratic Party of Canada writes as follows: Owing to the death on the 4th of October, 1914, of John Hough, the bo- cialist movement in British Columbia has lost one of its oldest pioneers and an active and sincere worker, who despite rebuffs, was never, discouraged. His strong and hearty voice was a source of encouragement and strength. In appearance he was short, stout and very broad;, with a round red clean shaved face. He looked more like a sea-faring man than a miner. Born in Wigan, England, 63 years ago, he had worked successively in Australia, the United States, and Canada. "Jackie" was a fearless and loyal comrade ever ready to help where he could. No matter the position an individual might fill, whether it waB king or president, Jackie could never be servile. His demise will be keenly felt in Nanaimo and district. In Ufe he scorned to act the servile tool,— ' ' "Salt of the earth," that man whose mind is free, Stern foe to all who crave the bended knee, And curb the soul of man, to stage the fool, Nature is all to him, rt is his school. Whore striving for the Truth, gains Liberty, Unmasking Cant, Deceit, Hypocrisy, Those mind entrenchments of Tyrannic- rule, And while the wide earth fight doth ebb and flow. Stern Justice Ib his theme, and Might his plan, For Freedom scorns Blind-faith, he lives to "know" Truth thrills the soul of all who Will, and Can,— He fought for Progress, dealing blow for blow, He was our Comrade, better still—'' a REAPING THE WHIRLWIND After Orgy of Oil and Land Paikirs, Oalgary Wakes up. Calgary newspapers are apparently just beginning to wake up to the fact that thore is an unemployed problem. The labor unions thore *have been forecasting it for three years at least. They were called knockers and blue-devils for their pains. The Herald of last Saturday says: "There is melancholy satisfaction to people of the west ikthe statement of dominion government labor investigators that so far is unemployment conditions go, the east is just about as badly off as we are. On the theory that misery loves company we Bhould, under the circumstances, feel pretty well satisfied. "But we don't feol satisfied and will not until in some' way the evil of unemployment Mn our midst' has been overcome. Whatever the causes may be for it, the situation is decidedly unhealthy, particularly in this part of the dominion, where there Ib so much room for individual effort and whero opportunity is, or Bhould be, waiting for everyone "Incidentally, although tho government investigators haven't said anything about it, it is a fact that through the western states in cities and towns conditions are even worse than here, and the United States is not at war." Posterity, condemned to pay the principal and interest on this year's riot in blood, will have a mighty poor opinion of the people who are now on earth. Ven.

MINARD'S LINIMENT CURES OAROET IN OOWS. DENVER, Col., Nov. 30.—Although the day on which it is said the federal troops would be removed has passed and Colorado seems aBsured of industrial peace for the near future, citizens of the state view with alarm the shipment of machine guns and high power rifles into the Btrike district by the coal companies. During the past week, large shipments are reported to have been made and the coal companies have asked permission to organize 78 imported gunmen into the militia at the Walsen mine, near Walacnburg, If this is allowed, and it undoubtedly will be, there will be 607 coal company thugs members of the militia in the strike zone, heavily armed with high powered rifles and twelve rapid-fire machine guns ready to start another Ludlow massacre as soon as the federal troops are taken out of the trouble zone. The coal operators are said to be ready to sign a new contract with the Baldwin-Feltz detective agency, although some citizens believe that the mine owners may be prevailed upon to refuse this bunch of hired assassins a renewal of their present agreement. This belief is founded on the published statements of the operators that they hope to prevent any future trouble although their large shipments of arms and thugs into the strike zone seems to prove the hypocrisy of this assertion. There iB no doubt in the mind of anyone in Colorado that if the mine owners were to-refuse this bunch of murderers a new agreement, it would do much to prevent future slaughters of the innocents in Colorado. Dissatisfaction among the scabs haB caused the coal companies mueh trouble in the southern coal fields within the past several weeks. Each night all the strike-breakers are forced to go through military drills for two hours after they come out of the mine where most of them are compelled to work ten and twelve hours. This, together with the fact that the wages have been reduced at many of the mines, making it impossible for the strike-breakers to earn moret han (1.40 to (1.60 a day, has caused many of them to lenv(? the state while local strikes of Btrike-breakers are common, Ahemtr The Aquitania was nearing port when a poor woman in the steerage gave birth to a little cherub boy. She was extremely indigent, and the ship's doctor happened to mention the fact, the saloon passengers collected a purse of some fifty sovereigns for the mother. Ana she in turn insisted on personally thanking her benefactors, on the day of landing she was carried on deck in a chair, when the ladies spoke kind words of comfort to her and she replied: "I must thank you from the bottom of my heart. It waB most kind of you to give me all this money for me and my baby; it will be a comfort to my husband, whom I'vo not seen for three years." Women's Wages in Washington. Eleven dollars for waitresses and nine dollars for other hotel or restaurant help, were the weekly minimum wage recommendations made last Wednesday by the conference called by the State Minimum Wage Commission. These recommendations include a provision that no employer Bhall deduct more tnan $3.50 a week for meals, two dollars for a room or five dollars for both room and board. These recommendations will go before the Industrial Welfare Commission for adoption or rejection nnd it is considered certain that they will be adopted.
