AD Hands Point to Our Want Ads as the Result Producer Everybody watdbe lieo Xhsi iferini.liaelj.rlu STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR ENDORSES THE BRITISH LABOR PLAN This Is First Labor Organiza tion la the West to Take Action Oa Matter . Acting upon the recommendation of the Salem Alliance for Labor and Democracy, the Executive board of the Oregon State Federation of Labor en dorsed the movement started by the British Labor party for an allied con ference on a world program of demo cracy. This the first state labor or ganization in the west to act in the matter, although several eastern 3tates have lined up behind the move. The action of the state board fol lowed a conference with a Salem com- mitteo composed of B. A. Harris of Salem, Professor J. K. Hart of Reed College, and W. C. Elwell of Salem, who met with the state officials at Portland yesterday. Tho local organ ization endorsed the British labor party's platform following an address by Professor Hart at the Willamette University chapel on March 6th. The following cablegram was sent yester day by the state board to Arthur Henderson of the British Labor Party: "Oregon Labor Federation approves British Labor reconstruction program. International action will rally people to world democracy and assure over throw of autocracy Urge allied cen fercnee for furtherance comprehensive plan." ' In addition, the state labor board is sending a letter to each state organ ization in the United States urging that similar action be taken by each state. The state board believes that the action of the British labor party is in keeping with the many utterances of President Wilson, and offers the greatest opportunity of the age to the common people of the world, this letter states. A list of prominent men in the United States has been made out, in cluding Secretary of Labor Wilson, Samuel Gompcrs, Babbi Stephen S. Wise, Archbishop Ireland, Senator Hiram Johnson, and Henry Ford, a let ter has been sent them asking their support- The platform of the British Labor party has been receiving favorable at tention over the entire United States, althiugh the Oregon organization ia the first in the west to officially endorse it. Four sectons of the plan constitute what is practically a revolution of the present world's system of social and political. These four points may be briefly summed up as follows: 1. The Universal Enforcement of a National Minimum, which will secure to everyone, in good times and bad alike, all tho requisites of a healthy life and worthy citizenship, as a mat ter of government regulation. 2. Tho Democratic Control of In dustrydemocracy in industry as well as in government; a genuinely scien tific reorganization of- the nation's in dustry, no longer deflected by in dividual profiteering, on the basis of common ownership of the means if pro duction and the equitable sharing of the proceeds among all who participate, and only among these. 3. A Revolution in National Finance, whereby the collossal expenditure lif volved in the present war, as well as future reconstruction and development, shall be paid by just taxation of the excess wealth of the nation wherever found, and without encroaching on the prescribed national minimum standard of life of any family whatsoever, with out hampering production or discourag ing useful iiersonal effort, and with the nearest possible approximation to equality of personal sacrifice. 4. The Surplus' Wealth for the Com mon Good, whereby, through national isation, municipalization and properly graduated taxation, all surplus wealth, beyond proper and reasonable needs, shall go to the public treasury and be owned and utilized, alike for all the people, in the extension of industry, scientific research, progress in art, literature, music arid ail that upon which the real development of civiliza tion go fundamentally depends. . The local men who are backing the movement siaieu max ine luoiviuuai project-, out mat no acuou nau Deen considered unil action was asked by the Solent committee. They believe, how ever, thot with the British platform adopted by labor bodies over the world, the fall of. autocracy is inevit able. The- Oregon Labor board urges the adoption of the resolution by every American organization of the people, the churches, farmers unions, granges, civir bodies, and labor organizations.

Leader Tells of War and Also How Germans Could Invade Coast A close-up view of the war ia Europe was presented by Colonel John Leader in his lecture last night at the armory to an audience that well filled the building. In opening his remarks, Col. Leader said that on the train coming down from Eugene he had written out a little introductory speech) like Lincolu on his way to Gettyhburg, but that when he got up and gazed on the nmltitule of faces and heard such a vast applause he forgot all he had written out. His address from first to lust gave evidence that he was not a speaker, i but a soldier and fighter. He re- regiment had encountered in the war and the scenes he' described of trench warfare, going over the top, barrage and shell fire, were about' as reulistic as it would be possible to get without the real thing. Colonel Leader stated he had been asked many times when the war would end. He said his reply would be that it would end when the United States visualized what it was up against and realised the magnitude of the task it bad undertaken. Speaking on the possibility of a Ger man invasion on the Pacific coast', he said such a thing could be easily done although it was uct probable it would be done and there was no occasion for alarm. He stated that an invasion of this coast, should such a thing happen, would be made by the GermanB, many of whom aro ex-soldiers, that are now in Brazil, Argontinia, Chile and other South and Central American provinces. He stated that from knowledge in tho ' possession of military authorities it was I known that it would be possible to get j up an armed force of 40,000 Germans; from these South and Central American j countries, that the Germans could quiet ly buy up all the fruit ships of these' countries, many of which they have already purchased ,that the armed fi-rce could embark in these Bhipb from vur ious places, jut out to sea n hundred miles or to from the west const of South Xmvrica. stean. north evading U, S. coast patrol boats and cruisers und effect a landing near Los Angelas or elsewhero slong the Americn coast. German tpisi and alien eneinijs.cn this coast coi'JJ worn in connection with the expedition and at a given time wreck all railroad tunnels and bridges over the mountains, thus shutting out the sending of American troops fioni the east, making it possible only for troops to be sent ' south from and through Oregon. This was the substance of the "Ger man Menace on the, Pacific Coast,'' as portrayed by Colonel Lead-r. Ue sUled, as before mentioned, that it was a pos sibility although hardly a probability. Colonel l eader has an fcxuo.uranco of optimistic spirit' in spite of some of the awful scenes he has passed through in France, and his address throughout was filled with humorous remarks, incidents and jokes which originated in the trenches. He was heartily applauded throughout and at the close of his ad dress. Court House News In the case of J. C. RhodeB against B. C. Bailey, to quiet title, a verdict was given yesterday in favor of tho plaintiff. A marriage license was issued yester day to James Ccdrick, aged 24, and Hobo Gallagher, aged 22, both of Salem.
