Militarism and the Labor Movement “A Great Game And Its Meaning,” Uuder the caption, the Chicago Tribune admits quite openly that the army-navy game was war department propaganda of a high-powered kind. In the words | of the eult of salesmanship it a gigantic “selling” scheme. The Hearst press echoes the Tribune. In a boldface box, headed | “Army-Navy Tie Brings Recruit Stampede Here,” the Herald- Heaminer says: Cadets and midshipmen parading and playing football here precipitated a stampede to recruiting offices. All yesterday Maj. A. E. Hawkins and his aids at 107 W. Van Buren street ewamined eager would-be rookies. Last night they sent fifty men to training. camps. This year the navy received only a beggarly $322,000,000 and the Tribune pleads piteously for the poverty-stricken militarists. It says: We here in Chicago and the middle west pledged ourselves | to a fresh effort to rescue the army and navy from its present state. We marked that pledge with a display of profound emo- | tion on the occasion of an event thet promises to become historic. | Chicago and the middle west will keep that pledge so that the young men in gray and the young men in blue shall come into an inheritance of an army and navy of the United States fully adequate to every need and emergency and maintained in the perfection of effectiveness.

ARTICLE IL LL over the town, workers were coming to those whom they knew to be on the C. O. A., asking for infor- mation. The feeling was abroad that the supreme authority locally during the strike was the ©. O. A. There again was a lesson to be learned. In the time of great crisis, the, workers for- got about the governmental authority their trust in their own representatives, The class war, which had been pointed out for years by the socialists was being made clear to the | masses and they were taking the side of their class.

The majority of delegates were favor- able to the idea but always pointed out the advice of the G. C. T. U. not} }to do anything likely to precipitate trouble. That was the commencement jof a manifestation that was predom- inant durjng the strike, namely: the faith in the leadership of the British working class which could be taken as the second lesson of the general strike.

What have the found? They have found that the rich soil they thought they were fighting so hard and so long for, is not theirs, and that they, the poor remain as before, simply owners. This, at bottom, is the main reason for the Yaqui’s rebellious spirit. T ‘may well be that the catholic church, De la Huerta’s agents or other political factions gathering funds for the next presidential cam- paign, have managed to incite the Yaquis to rebellion, but whatever other factors there are, they lack the force of the Yaquis own will to re- covet what they feel belongs to them as it belonged to their ancestors—the Yaqui lands.
