The bill, intro- duced by a member of the Fisher- man’s Union, which has become an important political factor, provides for the creation of a board of three men to fix what is known as the “Cur. rent pricé” on the basis of which contraets are formed between the merchants and the fishermen, Many of the fishermen have camplained that ‘under present methods the price has been fixed too low to afford them fair pay for their work.

Haywood, its secretary and treasurer. A werld in which labor, organized into a vast compact union, sheuld control all the means of production and in which there should be no such thing as “capital”. was held up by Haywood as his land of promise. He declared that only implacable war between labor and capital, ending Wwith a general strike and confiscation of the means of production, could bring the workers to their ideal ex- istence. Class Struggle Must Go on. “This is a class strugsle that must go on,” he told the commission. “There fan be no idéntity of interest between the workers, who have only their labor power, and such men as Rockefeller and Morgan and their stockholders, who contribute nething to production. Thé struggle will ga on déspite éverything this commission can do or can recommend to congres: The battlé is inevitable. Labor must fight fer what capital now ‘controls, the means.of production, tools, ma- chinery and all of those things which should be controlled by labor alone. “I have had a dream of a new so- ciety some time in which thére will be no struggle between capital and labor, in which every man will have free access to the land and the means of production and livelihoad. There will be no government, no states, as we know them now. Congress will be made up not of lawyers and preachsrs, but of experts from all branches of industry, come together for the good of all the people.” Commissioner Weinstock questioned Haywood as to what methods would be employed to bring about this change. Any Kind of Tactics. “I believe in any kind of tactics,” said the witness. “I don’t care if it means revalution. That's all.’ In réply to other questions Hay- wood said the I. W. W. differed from the trade unionists because it believed in the organization of a single great union instead of craft unions. Its ul- timate purpose, he said, différed little from socialism. “I might say it is socialism with its working clotheés on,” he added. No Great Cities. In the new era, Haywood ‘“there would be no great cities.” “What is to become of New York, Chicago and the other great cities?” asked Commissianer Weinstock. “There would be no idle brokers, lawyers and financiers to occupy sucn cities,”” replied the witness. #But what would you do with New York?” Monument to Foolishness, “Tear it down or leave it as a mon. ument té the foolishness of this age.” Haywaood sketchéd the stormy inci- dents of his past life télling of strikes in which ‘he had participated, from the early troubles in Colorado and Utah to thé recent outbreak of Law- rence and Patérson. . He will continue his testimony today. Police Commissioner Woads of New York discussed the use of New York gunmen in labor disputes and the protection accorded free speeches and free assembly in that city, Dr. H. R. Sgager of New York, the said, spoke of difficulties of labor ln the courts.

Cleveland, O., May 13.—Henry Clews, the principal speaker at this morning’s session of the World Court Congress praised President Wilson's effort in behalf of peace. Mr. Clews said he believed univer- sal peace, through the application of an international ' court of justice, would ultimately prevail. Views on War. Of the present war, Mr. Clews said: “After all is said as to the causes, of the war, the fact remains that mil- ftarism was its predominating motive, and back of that was the personal ambition of certain rulers and their immediate following.” The address of Emerson McMillin, of New York, dealt with a tentative plan for the formation .of the pro- posed world court, based upon the population and commerce of the na- tions. Nation’s Sovereignty Recognized. Mr. McMillin predisfed that in less than a generation after the Inaugura- tion of an international court, inter- national law will assume a stabi] lity to which it has not hitherto an\dh’led “And in the court we propose,” he sald, “the sovereignty of every nation will be recognized. The smallest na- tion will stand on a footing level with that of the greatest.” “The European war demand for an international court to a world-wide propa®anda, organized and reorganized,” said Danys 33 Meyers of Boston, a member of the board of directors of the World Peace Foundation, in an address following Mr. McMillin's. “If that world ery can be resisted by governments, the judgment of many people is sadly at fault. Court Cannot Fail. “I cannot believe that the court of arbitral justice, as now propesed, can fail. The world knows now as it never knew before its need for in- ternational justice.” [TALY HAS DECIDED TO INTERVENE IN WAR Austrian Ships in Halisn Waters Ordered to- Trieste or Pola. Geneva, via.

Paris, May 18, 5:20 a. m.—Every prepara- ticn has been made for the proclama- tlon of a state of siege in all the Aus- 1rian territory which borders on Ttaly. The government -already is in the rands of the police and military. Italians whose homes are in Aus- tria already have fled for safety across the frontier in great numbers. It is estimated that 40,000 have left Triest alone. while the total will aggregate 120,000.

[G 0. P. NEEDED HIM | T0 ATTACK WILSON Hulchinson Testifes Rosscvelt Made Remark i Havard Club. Syracuse, N, Y., May 13.—A witness { for William Barnes swore in the su. preme court here today that less than a year ago Theodore Roosevelt agreed that the republican party needed him and said that he would “go after President Wilson with his Pittsburg speech and on the foreign treaties and tear him to pieces.” Then, de- clared the witness, the former pres- ident asserted that after what had happened at Chicago in 1912, the re- publican party was not big enough to hold him and Mr. Barnes. The witness was John W. Hutchin- son, a New York lawyer, and chair- man of the speakers’ bureau of the republican state committee from 1906 until 1912, Contradicts Loeb's Statement. Mr. Hutchinson went upor the wit- ness stand after Willlam J. Wool- man, a New York broker, had con- tradicted the statements made last week by Wililam J. Loeb, private sec- retary to Colonel Rooseveit when he was president, and later collector of the port of New York. Mr. Loeb testified that he talked with Mr. Barnes at Mr. Woolman's office in 1911, when the state senate was dead. locked over the selection of a United States senator to succeed Chauncey M, Depew. Under oath heé said he had talked to Mr. Barnes about the deadlock and that Mr. Barnes said he could do nothing at that time to end it. Mr. Woolman said he had never seen Mr. Loeb until November, 1912, after Woodrow Wilson was elected president. The majority of the witnesses who preceded or followed Mr. Woolman and Mr. Hutchinson on the stand, gave testimony designed to show that Mr. Barnes and Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall were not political allies at the time of the deadlock in the state legislature, in contradic- tion to the witnesses who testified for Colonel Roosevelt. Benjamin B. Odell, former governor and repub- lican leader of New York, and at one time a member of congress, tes- tified principally about the early |po- litical career of Mr. Barnes and com- paign contributions.

There was a rumor that Colone! Roonsevelt was considering running for governor in the fall. That's what I wanted to find out about.
