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. " , ny worse than that of England or
UOnCGm 0l ri a-tlOIl of Russia, or of any of the countries
mat are iignung ior wnat tney er
roneously suppose to be civilization.

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.

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.

"When I was a boy it was the prac

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.

"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.

"The ships with bulk rrain cargoes
come to Antwerp and the wheat Is
removed to scows by the use of won

these scows to the flouring mills and
unloaded again by machinery.

In this respect, at least, our tors

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 ;

That would convince her how they i

SPECIAL $100 DIAMOND
A few years ago we conceived the idea that a distinct and
exceptional slue in a Diamond, at the price of 9100,
would not only meet with instant favor, but would create
for itself a name that would be far-reaching. 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.

inquiry as to why we must have war

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

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
