From our present view- point these effects are primarily de- structive, Whatever of constructive value shall come out of it all, will depend upon the wisdom, the ability and the statesmanship of the real statesmen of the nations. But at present we see customs, institutions, and the relationship that ame the re- sult of years of struggle and persis- tent effort to realize ideals, swept away by the great tide of destruction and lost in the clash of arms, the smoke of the battlefield, and in the terrors of naval warfare.” Hits Belligerents Actions. Describing the effects of the war upon organized labor and American customs and institutions, the report deals at length with attempts by in- terests of belligerent European ma- tions “to interfere with the peaceful pursuit of American industries. “Some of these movements,” it says, ,‘‘have been genuine, others have been created by individuals and interests that were really unneutral. These movements have taken various forms; some have tried to influence the policies of the state and govern- mental authorities of our country; others have tried to work upon pub- lic opinion and still others have sought to use the good name of our labor movement to further the in- terests of some foreign country.” Lauds Working Men. “High tribute was paid the work- ing men of the nation through whose patriotism, the report says, these plans have perished and the move- ments so far have been futile. “The efforts. to use the working men of our country have been of iwo kinds,” the report continues, “one to get through them the en- THE CHARM OF MOTHERHOOD, Enhanced By Perfect Physi- cal Health. The experience of Motherhood isatry-| ing one to most women and marks dls- tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one | woman in a hundred is prepared or un- | derstands how to properly care for her- | self. Of course nearly every woman ' nowadays has medical treatment atsuch times, but many approach the experi- | ence with an organism unfitted for the | trial of strength, and when it is over! her system has received a shock fmmi which it is hard to recover. Following ' right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than & happy and healthy mother of children, | and mdeed child-birth under the right | conditions need be no hazard tohealth or | beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered | merves and broken health resu]tmgfrom an unprepared condition, and with am- | ple time in which to prepare, women | will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetabie Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

Y e e dorsement of the foreign policy tc place an embargo upon so-called mu- nitions of war, the other has been to stir up industrial contentions and disputes and thus interefere with the actual process of productfon so that products to be sent abroad may be stopped. Foreign agencies have been trying to corruptly reach some of the organizations of the workers but they have not succeeded. There is nothing touching the industrial and commercial life of America that is not of interest to the warring na- tions.” The holding of a World’s Labcr congress at the same time and place that peace delegates meet when the war is ended, is recommended in the report as ‘necessary in order to in- fuse the spirit of humanity and democracy into this political con- ference.” In order that the positicn of the United States working men in this regard may be fully representa- tive of the country’s unanimous voice of labor, the report recommends that all International Unions be urged to give the plan their support. Dick Military Law, The report covers the recent inves- tigation by labor leaders of the Dick 1ilitary law. In that connection, it says: “Up to the present we have receivéd no complaint nor have we learned of any act in which the military arm of the government had misused the Dick law to offset or curb the aspira- tions of the working people of the land. . . . . We refer particularly to the situation in Colorado last year. . . . . The corporations had practically coerced and intimidated the officials of the state and had over- ridden the laws of the state o There is not nearly so grave a danger in the Dick law as there is in the menace threatening our institutions through the private detective agencies and the private army of gun men.” Iabor Representatives Praised. Attention is also called in the re- port to the work of the United States Commission on Industrial Relations. Chairman Walsh and the labor repre- sentatives, Messrs. O’Connell, Lennon and Garretson, are praised for their “judgment and determination which brought to light many wrongs and ipjustices that might otherwise have teen concealed ot overlooked. The commission’s report is strongly cndorsed by the executive council, which recommends that the conven- tion urge the next congress to make the report and hearings of the com- raission public documents. “Because the commission did not follow conventional lines and so pre- sented facts and materials that are usuallygcarefully suppressed and not available to the masses of the people,” the report continues, “there was in- itiated against the commission a campalgn for the purpose of discredi | ing in advance the final report. How- ever, the labor movement as well as all citizens who have sympathy and understanding of the lives of the wage earners united in a determined effort to defeat this campaign and to make known their approval of the policy the commission followed.” Reviews Legislation. In reviewing legislation by the last congress, the report expresses the | executive council’'s approval of the | seamen’s bill. The law, it says, will afford a large measure of safety pro- visions for the general public who travel the high seas and, the report adds, “we feel confident in asserting that the passage of this legislation by the sixty-third congre&, was one of its distinctions.” Statistical reports were read show- ing the average membership for the American Federation of Labor for the year was 1,946,347, a- decrease of 74,324 members, the first decrease in total membership since 1908. While the average membership for the year shows a decrease of 74,324, the Sep- tember membership is 1,994,111, a decrease of only 26.560. A ‘steady growth in membership is predicted to follow the readjustment of con- citions affected by the European war. Expenditures for the year 1915 were $303,985.95 and receipts $271,625.43 as compared with $265,737.21 and $263,166.98 in 1914, NEWFOUNDLAND LOYAL.
