SOCIALISM AND TRADES UNIONS. ' As the Binoke of battle clears away it Is evident that the socialist forces, following their decent victories at the ballot box sustained decided re Versos In the encounter at Athinta, They went into the convention ot the American Federation of Labor in high spirits) - their opponent declare that the proceedings there "took the fight completely out of them." Peter W. Collins of Ohio, editor of an electrical trades union Journal, and evidently a live wire, was one of those who assisted in enabling the socialist to realize that they had been in a scrap. He quotes social ism against socialism in organized labor, and the documentary evidence he presents will no doubt prove en lightening to many. .. " He pointed out that -the New York Call: "the leading socialist daily in America," he calls the Call in its Issue ef April 17, 1910, has a full page article from Louis Duchez stating that the Btfuggi to uphold trades union ism ii n progrssiv Ibeciu'se ) trades unionism s out of datethat trades unionism ief bar Wociulism and therefore 'trades unionism must be done away with.' V He says radical capitalism on- the tme hand, is work lng for the same end. and these twe fbrewYromtrMv nature' ofthfngs will kill trades unionism. $ "W. B. Haywood oh December '16 110, noticeot which appeared Ju The 011 of Deters bjtr-, 20, says: 'No loctiil- tst can be a trades unionist. The ethics of socialism are absolutely op posed to the ethics of trade union ism. 1 am going to tell the truth even if what I say may cause hard feelings among many of my friends who are members of trades unions. I realize what I have said against the trades union is bitterly hostile.' "I also quote from Eugene V. Debs In the International Socialist Review of February, 1911, in his article on 'The Crime of Trades Unionism,' he says: .'Trades unions are a menace to the worker and are obsolete and must give way.' "Stronger than either of these is the following quotation from the New Tork Call of March 25, 1911, with reference to the scab and the strike breaker, which says: 'We (the so clalut party), have. th helpless scab, that pitiful specimen who through economic necessity; the' pressure of want, the appeal of starving. Wife and children, is forced to desert the rank of the striker. This class of men we cannot expel from our party without expelling a considerable part of oar membership.' "Permit me ta read - one further quotation from the Call. This is from the Issue of February SO, 1910. It says: The American Federation of Labor ha approved unanimously of the policies of Samuel Gompers. The socialists have disapproved of these policies unanimously In the past. Is this sot a tight to the finish?' "On Tuesday last w had the fight to a finish at the Atlanta convention, and the socialists were turned down by a majority of over 700 Ovotea out of a total vote of 11,000. "In the light of this decisive action we may see an answer to the article In the Call and the position of the socialists relative to the American Federation of Labor and Its officers. The Call said: You take the Individ ual. Gompers and Mitchell, too seri ously; also their form of organisa tion. "Why should the Call continue to bore them from within? Why not tell them that as an end, their trades unionism is selfish, almost worthless and a joke? Debb tell them so, and we nominate him for president Gompers and Mitchell could not serve the bosses much better If thsy were stool pigeons. Really, why should we not tell the trade unionists the truth with smoke on It? "Socialism could not, of Itself, win recruit, so It ha been trying to en graft Itself on trade unionism a a means of gaining followers. "The problem that today conf ntn the worker 1 not the matter of re construction of society, but rather the application ot good Judgment and commonsense to the remedying of both social, civic, and economic evils. As the workers constitute a large per cent of society, these remedies can be applied by co-operation with the ocher element of society, all working for the common good. "Many become socialists without knowing the doctrines of socialism, hut merely as an expression of their dlKontent and prnteat auainst eco. Jiortilc evil. Though calling them-.-h. sm-lellKt. they are soclallHis In nntv. ho trade union movement who were socialises .ffefore they became trade unionists, and simply joined the trade unions J!or the purpose of organising within and capturing the machinery of the movement , for the practical propaganda of socialism. ... .

In certain parts of the west, es pecially socialism has aparently made progress with Its program calling for . the disintegration of trades unionism; , one railway strike plan, an analysis of which we have recently studied somewhat, looks to us. like a strike of trade unionists for the purpose of de-1 stroylng their union that is -all we can make out of it. FEDERAL AID IN ROAD-BUILDING There ha been an impression, gen eral in newspaper offices, that the Congress of the American Association for Highway Improvement, held re cently at Richmond, split on the rock of federal aid and instead of making progress really retarded the good roads cause. 1 ' . Dr. M. W. Twitchell of the Univer sity of South Carolina, who was a delegate to the congress, has publish ed a report In which he declares the Idea that there was a "great fight" jn the convenlon on his issue is erro nious. Says he: Throughout the sessions of the congress the least mention of the sub ject of federal aid for good roads brought forth such enthusiastic ap plause that it was evident to all that the majority of the delegate present heartily favored such legislation. Sen ator Bankhead of Alabama, Senator Martin of Virginia and Senator Claude Swanson of Virginia made ringing ap peals to the congress to Indorse the movement for national aid. Senator Swanson Is the author of a bill .on this subject now before congress, ahi provisions of which he explained In detail. This bill provides for an np propriatton of $100,000,000, of which $20,000,000 shall be available annual' ly ,to be apportioned among the sev eral States. The apportionment shall be on the basis of population, and only States co-operating with the federal government by a State appropriation dollar for dollar, are to receive this federal aid. The law also provides for joint action by the director of the of fice of public roads and the State au thorities (having charge ; of highway Work, in the making of surveys, plans, specifications, etc., for the proposed roads and In the supervision over the construction. Improvement and mtain tenance o fall roads constructed under the provisions ot the set." It I!al96;tintrue,!say pr. Twitchell Unit he. president of the congress, Lo gan .Waller. Pago, opposed the move- men for federal aid. Mr. Page; being a government official, refrained from showing either approval or' disapprov al; he thinks Mr. Page, as well as mont of his subordinates, would wel come federal aid, "as they would any. othen fofm of aid in the cause of good road f All the ghting" that oc curred' took place in the meetings of the committee on resolutions, and wa chiefly due to a difference of opinion as to the amount asked for. The res olution favoring federal aid was adopted with enthusiasm.' There seems to be a disposition, for the time being at least, to avoid academic discussion as to whether there Is only constitutional warrant for the general government building roads for the State. Money ha been expended, a vast sum of It, under the "'general welfare" clause of the con stitution to aid various projects In fa vored seclon tof the country, which expenditure had but little reference In fact to-the "general welfare'- and Is incomparable in that respect with the building of highway over which mall carriers will travel, there Is a fear. however, that people may come to rest content in the nation that th great government at Washington will take over the burden of road building, and that individuals and communities need no Inger concern themselves about it It Is an Immense project, even the construction of a few mile of road In ivll the States, and it may be that rtf. tional aid, on a scare large enough to be of any Importance, If It shall come at all. i for in the future. It will be great misfortune If this notion of federal aid causes any state or com munity to relax the effort being mad n the cause of road building. THOSE WHO FEAST AND THOSE WHO FAST. At .Thanksgiving and . Christmas time one feel a strong Impulse to turn red radical, help else all the creature comfort of the earth and di vide them equally to the people, re gardless of future consequences. The glorious democracy thus created prob ably would not continue for ten min ute, but would for the time being be a great relief all around. In more senses than one. As It is, tomorrow a great many people are going to gorge themselves fearfully, and a great many are going to oat the bread of humanity and drink the cup of sorrow because they haven't anything also to eat and drink. Many a person who sighs sadly over the plight of the homeless and din nerless will yet Injure himself by over eating. In the endeavor to cheer him self up. or drown his sorrow over the inequalities of life, to hi own serious hurt. The feastef and the feastsrs are agreed that It is a sad stats of affulrs. There Is nothing that ths. lat ter, who feel H the worst, can do a II I ( ( . f.,r.. . r , n . . thing:. He can effect something of a division, so far as his own possessions , .., . ."" .-. ... , collections In the, churches, for the ' orphans, and other causes; he can )8end food to the hospital; he can give . hi. h .'comfort of some unfortunate family - Unless one does, something of this sort, unless he makes some real sac rifices. It Is hard 'to see how he can eat his thanksgiving dinner with good grace or real gratitude. - And It is a terrible thing to feast, In" the name of Thanksgiving, without gratitude in the heart for the blessings of Divine Proy- idence. , . Manager Bailey of the Auditorium says he Is sure, from the information he has, that The Gazette-News is mis taken in saying that the price for The Girl of the Golden West" are too high. The traveling expense, for rail road fare alone. Is I a mile, and ev erything computed the attraction will hp.ve to piny to $3000 to break even. It is a play that costs a great deal of money, and has to scale Its prices ac cordingly. "The Girl of the Golden West" Is raid to be . the most mag nificent production Henry W. Savage has ever sent out. The luery' for the American people today is:, who Is Mr. Barker? What is his history ? What 1 his reputation for veracity and honesty In Philadel phia, his home? Is he In his dotage? lias his ox been gored, If so, under what circumstances? If Barker' tale is established, he has transformed our most conspicuous dragon, fighter Into a monkey on a stick. : i: I i i Ii I . , i i i i If you have In your popncsslon any Information that ought ' to be given to the world tomorrow, through the columns of The Gazette-News, please attend to it early in the morning, as there will be but one edition publish ed at 2 o'clock "unless something happens."
