LETTERS FROM JOURNAL READERS Comment and Opinion Expressed on a Variety of Subjects That Are Undergoing Dis cussion at Home and Abroad. Calls It a Bondholders' War. i Estacada, Or- Jan. 15. To the Edi tor of The Journal When the war broke out there were held by British bondholders 20 billions ln foreign se curities; which means that the world was paying to the vampire nation Interest on that vast amount of fic titious debt. The average person who works for a living has no conception of how much a billion dollars is. By pennies and dimes he counts his miserly savings, if he ever savea anything. The Income of this 20 billions had to be Invested somewhere to create more debt. Russian war loans were floated ln France but there was noth ing to exclude English money. The money was used to mobilize an im mense army on tne borders of Ger many. That was what started the war. which was the outcome of a poker game in high finance in which the stakes were empires and king- j doms. : When the German government in quired of the French government what France would do ln case of war between uermany ana itussia, the reply came back, "France will do what her Interests dictate." That explains the cause of the war. The interest on bonds and securities dic tates the policy of capitalist governments. The interests of English lords. French bankers, Russian grand 'dukes and certain American money kings are interlocked and identical. These interests are the enemies of human ity, working behind the scenes. We can see the awful results, but the wire pullers work by intrigue and se cret diplomacy. These Interests, through control of news associations, have made the peo ple believe that Germany started the war. The press, all over the British dominions, has been filled with grue some details of German atrocities, in order to inflame the people to fight. Even If these tales were true, what do they amount to? The war itself Is the great atrocity, a carnival of slaughter for the benefit of bond holders and commercial profiters. The people ln ail the countries are be wildered and bedeviled, kept ln ignor ance of the real Inwardness of the matter, by the newspapers which are supposed to keep them enlightened. The German word for enemy is "feind," which is very appropriate. Could anything be more fiendish than to plunder the world by interest on bonds and then invest the income, thus extorted from the toil of slaves, to start a war to create more bonds? This accounts for the sobs and slurs about spineless diplomacy. We are not getting into the war fast enough to please certain Interests. The Idle money flooding the banks here should be given an opportunity to invest ln war bonds or munition stocks. For this good purpose the war should be encouraged and we should have di plomacy with spines on it as terrible as the quills on a porcupine. And we should remember that these 20 billions of securities held by Brit ish capitalists are owned by a few thousand people. The great masses of the people of Britain have no property at all. and no securities, not even the certainty of employ ment after the war stops. I don't know how bad the German govern ment is, but I do know it cannot be rt n P TlT a.

I deny that I am an anti-tobacco and an anti-coffee fa natic. I am a tobacco user myself to a limited extent, and I was a coffee user for many years, but never a smoker of cigarettes.

Lotta's Fountain Is To Be Illuminated More Answers on I. W. V. Portland, Jan. 1J. To the Editor of The Journal If you will allow me space I will answer the tjuestioris of Mabel Rundall in regard to the I. W. W. 1. The I. W. W. was organized ln Chicago in 1905. It has a membership of approximately half a million, on a conservative estimate. It has a formal organization, with a preamble, consti tution, by-laws, officers, etc. 2. The aims and purposes of the I. W. W. are three-fold: First, to organ ize the working class on the industrial field so that we can shorten the hours, raise the wages and improve the con ditions under capitalism; second, to abolish the capitalist system; third, to carry on production after the capital ist system has been overthrown. We Intend to accomplish these ends by organizing the workers into one big industrial union which takes in all those who work for wages, and only those who work for wages. As this union Increases in power It exercises more and more control over the Job. Hours are cut down and wages in creased and consequently the profits of the capitalist diminish. Finally a point is reached where, the control of the union becomes so complete mat nrofits disappear altogether. The capitalist then finds himself minus dividends and he has no choice left but to Join the workers on the Job and be satisfied with the full product of his labor and no more. The I. W. W. differs from the Amer ican Federation of Labor on the fol lowing rjolnts: First, the American Federation of Labor Is reactionary. It teaches that "the interests of labor and capital are Identical." It stands for flrie perpetua tion of wage slavery. It holds out no higher ideal to the workers than that of "a fair day's pay for a fair day's work." The I. W. W. Is revolutionary It holds that the interests of labor and capital are diametrically opposed; that labor is entitled to all It produces It stands for the abolition of wage slavery and the establishment of in dustrial freedom, which la the only system under which ndrfstrlal peace will ever be possible. i Second, the-American Federation of Labor splits the workers up according to craft. Each trade has a separate union and each union has a separate contract with the boss, which makes united action impossible. When one trade is on strike other trades ln the same Industry remain at work, thus helping to break the strike. The I. W. W. unites the workers according to Industry, in one big union, which takes in all workers employed in that in dustry, regardless of craft, race, creed or color. Hence the name "Industrial Unionism," Then when there is a strike the tie-up is completed and there la no such thing as one craft scabbing on another, as ln the Amer ican Federation of Labor. Third, the American Federation of Labor is narrow in its outlook. It does not try to organize the whole working clasp but only the so-called "aristocracy of labor." It charges high initiation fees and endeavors to limit the membership of the unions accord ing to the supply of Jobs. It pays its officers large salaries and Invests them with arbitrary power over the rank and file. The I. W. W. aims to unite the entire working class into one solid union having for its motto, 'An injury to one is an Injury to all." The I. W. W. is democratically managed. ' being run by the rank and file. We have no high salaried officers, as their pay is determined by the aver age pay of the membership. The most highly paid official ln the I. W. W. does not receive over $3 per day. 3. The I. W. W. does not preach violence and has never practiced It in the past except in self-defense. How ever, If the capitalist class see fit to resort to violence in their efforts to suppress the labor movement, and the workers can get no protection from the law of the land, there is only orle an swer possible and that is the old law of"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." 4. "Sabotage" means a slowing up on the job, or returning poor work for poor pay. 6. Besides North America, the I. W. W. has a strong hold in England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and all other English speaking coun tries. It also has branches in South America and Japen. ' Besides its actual membership, ln the words of the Industrial Relations commission. "Its spirit and vocabu lary permeate enormous masses of the workers." On the continent of Europe the syndicalist movement is the coun terpart of the I. W. W. I have been a member of the I. W. W. for five years, before that I was a member of the American Federation of Labor for over 10 years. I have made a close study of both these or ganizations, so I am in a position to write as one having- authority." JAMES ROWAN Mr. Louden to Mr. Glbney. Vancouver, Wash.. Jan. 19. To the Editor of The Journal Mr. Gibney seems to think this prosperity of the past four years hasn't struck Vancou ver yet. but he said he is wised hp. I'll leave that to Journal readera to decide. Does Mr. Gibney remember just 10 years ago. under that great Roosevelt, the prosperity that struck the tall timber where he was? All of trie logging camps and saw mills In the country were closed down for the want of the proper man In the White House, like Woodrow Wilson. In 1907 a man couldn't get a day's work at any price. Wheat was 60 cents per bushel, potatoes 40 cents per -sack and no sale for them. The country was doing business on Roose velt and Morgan rurrency in other words, clearing house certificates. ' Let us go back to Roosevelt's first term to the big coal strike ln Pennsyl vania. It went on for more than five months. Then poor people appealed to Roosevelt several times. Finally he went to their aid. And what did he do? Put it to arbitration, and the coal barons and Roosevelt beat them to it. That was one time the Amer ican working man had what Mr. Gib ney calls "his own right, to strike." He had another right at that time to starve to death and he came mighty near doing it, too. Woodrow Wilson, the great progres sive president, said, "You can not ar bitrate a man's labor, as it is not a commodity." Mr. Gibney asks me what would be the conditions ln the United States today if it were not for the dreadful war now going on in Europe. He says instead of the 4.000,000 out of employ ment in 1914, there would be 8.000.000, or maybe more, out of employment. My honest opinion Is that if Roosevelt. lart or Hughes had been president since 1914, there wouldn't have been any men out of employment; they would have been In uniform before now and our little contented farmers would all be little contended soldiers. I am still a Progressive. a W. LOUDEN. Denounces Conscription. Bay City (near Marshfleld), Or. Jan. 16. To the Editor of The Jour nal I have read the statement of Mr. Saltzman and I must say I am op posed to conscription. Does Mr. Salts man long to have hell here in this country, by wanting conscription, and, in case of war. every citizen to go with him through living hell? Well, he is welcome to it. I for my part, will Keep out of it. I've been through war and I got enough of it. Mr. Salts man would speak entirely different if the war should take place ln the part of the eountry he was living in. Sup posing" he lost his wife and children through war. also his house, home and everything that was dear to him. then he himself be wounded and lie ln the hospital for months. At the end of 1 they dids, not like the Idea. It seems to me there could be a law made that would protect a faithful wife, or man either, for that matter. If a law could be made that Would cause all property acquired after mar- rlage to automatically revert to thej I Injured one. or the one who has cus tody of the children, it wouldn't be so hard Xo get alon. A man can go 1 on with his business and make a llv- j ing, but not so the abused wife. Many a wife suffers in silence, knowing that a divorce will bring her little else than publicity. MM RE CHAMBER PRESIDENTADVOCATES BULK HANDLING GRAIN If our iplendld body of women, the , Federated clubs, or the Congress of Mothers would take this up I know j sometnibg would be done. WOMAN. , The Nameless Child's Rights. j Portland. Jan. 17. To the Editor of j ine journal i wisn to say a lew words ln reply to "An 0, M. Clark Believes in One Respect Portland Is Half Century Behind the Times, O. M. Clark, president of the Port- Interested land Chamber of Commerce, stfys t hat- Wife." who wrote on the bill to make in a sense. Portland is half a century illegitimate children legitimate. I consider the bill a good one and her point of view rather lntolerane. She aays illegitimate children are not handicapped. That is not true, for even while they are too small to understand, they are laughed at and scorned for being fatherless. They have Just as much right to a father's name as any other child, for all chil dren are innocent and clean no matter what the circumstance of their birth. behind the times in not being pro vided with- facilities for handling in bulk the grain of the Inland empire. "When I was a boy it was the prac tice to ship grain in bulk." he related. "I have visited the east coast of both North and South America and find their cities all have excellent facili ties for bulk handling, ln strong con trast to our backwardness. No other method of grain handling, either from the producing districts or ln ships And they have lust as much right to . over . wouio re considered. tn'i leKal I 111 wum America, ouenos Aires, Montevideo and Santos they are far children ln case he has property. Why should she say a girl or woman is immoral and cannot be be lieved because she is the mother of a so-called nameless child.' Why should she be called low ln mind? Perhaps her ideals are as fine and her thoughts as holy in regard to the com ing of her child as a wife's could pos sibly be. We are told motherhood Is a woman's crown. Why should one woman be called blessed, and another cast out because of it? Are we any of us so free from stain that we may cast the first stone at a sister? Is it right for a woman to bear all the blame, to be made a social out cast, and the man go free, even be lionized socially? Is it a case of "the king can do no wrong?" If there is a legal provision by which he can be compelled to carry his share of the life which he has helped produce. Is ho not more likely to practice some of that self-restraint that Is supposed to be always a woman's duty? Is he not even more to blame then the woman? If his acts are likely to bring- shame to a loving wife, let him be made to consider before and not after it is too late. In foreign coun tries where such laws are in force it has not tended to increase illegiti macy. Quite the contrary. Instead of throwing mud or stones at these poor unfortunates, let us reach out our hands to help raise them up.' Let us encourage the legis lature to pass laws that will protect these women and children. Who knows when those who are dear to us. our own sister or daughter, may need this ' protection? And above all. let us be tolerant and more able to understand those about us, as Jesus himself would have had us do. ANOTHER WIFE. From the Laundry. Portland. Or., Jan. 17. To the Editor of The Journal I have been reading ahead of us "Practically all the grain imported by Europe Is ln bulk cargoes. At Antwerp I found the most efficient machinery for moving bulk grain with a rapidity that would startle ua with our old faahioned methods of handling the grain In sacks principally by man power. Machinery Soes Work. "The ships with bulk rrain cargoes come to Antwerp and the wheat Is removed to scows by the use of won derful machinery, then floated in these scows to the flouring mills and unloaded again by machinery. we win make no mistake in Port land to spend some money for sn adequate bulk ra!n elevator. It will be a stroke of wise, economic policy for the city. In advertising- value alone the Installation would be prac tically worth the cost. If we pro ceed quickly to meet requirements that cannot be' deferred. If we are to. keep our grain export business, we might find that immediately upon completion wetiad a little more ca pacity than was Immediately Deeded. "We might be a little ahead of the times. But we would then be no prompter than Seattle In anticipating the bulk handling movement, the times would soon catch up with ua, and I should think it would be aa Inspiration to all of us to feel that In this respect, at least, our tors sight had put us a little ahead.

H. F. The Injured Wife Problem. Portland. Jan. 12. To the Editor of The Journal The domestic tragedies that have come to my notice recently, make me wonder if there can be some thing done or do the poor wives have to sit and take anything that is band ed them? For instance: Mr. X. gives his wife the munificent sum of 120 these hard 1 dries didn't give the men their lunch sure thing they won't tell you only the good. They will tell them they have girls with them that have worked for them for five or six years. How true it Is. Girls have to work, and one place now is about as good as another. If they should ask a girl about the work it is always before the boss, and she couldn't tell what she would like to for fear of losing her Job. They send ladles around to try to eatch the fortune tellers that are grafting from people. They had better send a lady ; and let her work in the laundries about ' town for at least two or three days. ! That would convince her how they i were grafting the lives of these girls.

Knowing that this could be accomplished only through extensive diamond purchases and the right connections, and already having established ourselves in this respect, wo began telling the story of our SPECIAL $100 DIAMOND, with the result that it boars today an enviable reputation for quality and value, not alone in Portland and vicinity, but st distance of many hundreds of mile. Often imitated from the standpoint of price, but never equalled in worth, this remarkable DIAMOND stands apart today as tho gera pre-eminent. We will bo ae interested in showing it to you as wo have every reason to boliove you will be inter ested in seeing it. CLOSED SATURDAY EVENINGS JAEGER BROS.

(It is illegal to misrepresent real Advises Universal Service. Albany. Or., Jan. 16. To the Editor of The Journal "A Loving Wife and Mother" asas for an answer to her inquiry as to why we must have war end -why disputes cannot be peace ably settled. Fundamentally it is be cause men working together ln nv form of organization, whether partner ship, corporation or government, are not perfect- They are imperfect be cause individuals are not perfect. Some governments, like some corpora tions and individuals, regard might as ngnt, and only wait till they are 3trong enough to attack their neigh bors. This is the history of wars from the dawn of history. Until the human rece becomes perfect, we may expect the same outbreaks of war. The lady is opposed to military training in the public ischool and thinks "we would have enough of the norrors of war from the other sidi of the globe." Does she know what Armenia, Belgium, Poland and Russia are suffering because they were not prepared? Does she know that there would have been no war if England bad heeded Lord Roberts' advice years ago and had an efficient army as well as a navy? Does she know how the women and children of the unprepared countries have been treated in all wars that have ever happened, and in the present war? Does she know that Ar menian women and girls are now ln Turkish harems and brothels and their male relatives killed or impressed ln the Turkish army? Does she know the horrors ln Belgium and Poland? Does she know that any one of the great powers could invade America ln our present state of unpreparedness and tl..n KrvWA n n 9 T T A 1 Jt lahe like that nation to be Japan? Finally, does the lady know that all our military experts prescribe uni versal service as the best means of our protection? Does not she. think we had better follow that expert ad vice? Just as we have had riots, fires and wars In the past, so we will have them In the future and we should maintain fire departments, police de partments and armies and navies to control and subdue them. We simply have to take things as they are, not as we think they ought to he. I. M. times, too. to keep his little family of three on. The trustful wife does the beat she can. By accident ahe finds that he is keeping a woman down town. She feels trapped. Which way can she turn? She cannot divorce him and go to work, for soon there will be another litte one of .his to look after. No recourse. Who suffers? All know of any number of such cases. Take others. The wife has helped to ac quire the property and rear the fam ily. Perhaps has given all her youth and vitality to him and for him. Now things are easy, so he acquires an af finity to help him have a good time, and hla faded little wife can go bang. We do not have to go from our own doorsteps to see this, either. One day a clerk ln the suit depart ment in one of our department stores Btiiu n lie uau uecn imviu it nard lime j to keep a wife from meeting her hus- j band and his soulmate.' He was buying the other- woman an expensive suit, and the wife was trying to save by buying a cheap one. And this was a common occurrence. If a woman were not so handicapped by having a family or by having done housework so long that she cannot take her place ln the business world, it wouldn't be so. pitiful.
