The raids which were conducted at
all the Indutriai Workers of the
World halls yesterday when papers,
hooks, documents. membership
cards and lists were seized, will
conclusively prove where the I. W.

that organization has come from.
Accompanying this statement
there is however nothing given out
as to the findings one way or an
other.
it lias been repeatedly hinted j
that the organization has been i
getting German money with which
to carry on its work. The first per
son to make this insinuation was i
Charles Moyer who asked where \
they got it from and declared he;
left every person to judge.
The officials cf the organization!
have not stated what they are go-j
ing to do about these raids.
CHICAGO, ePj.t. 6.—The mail
ing list of the Solidarity, he organ

RUSSIANS ALL SHOT
PETROGRAD. Sept: 6.—It is
semi-ofhciaiiy announced lhat the
German fleet has appeared off Riga
for the past two days. This has
not occasioned any concern for the
safety of Petrograd.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 6.—The fall
of Riga has been followed by the
complete breaking of the Russian
lines along a sixty verst front,
about forty miles. The Russians
have been withdrawing in s'onsider
able haste and lest many guns and
considerable supplies.
BERLIN, Sept; 6.—The German
forces continue o make gains along
the Riga front: Severely inclement
weather has not stopped their ad
vance because the Russians have
been offering rather a poor resist
ance.
LONDON, Sept. &.—Here as in
the other Allied capitals the fight
ing oil the East front is being fol
l lowed with a certain degree of
anxious interest.
: The failure of the Russian morale
' is admitted, but it is firmly be
lieved that a dogged resistance may
yet be made.
It is considered gratifying that
there is no sign of panic in Petrc
grad.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 6.—Exciting
internal affairs due to the uncover
ing of counter revolutionary plans
by the reactionists have somewhat
prevented the people realizing the
seriousness of the war situation.

CHICAGO, Sept. G -Today
everything is quiet upon the poli
tical surface after tli i anti-Thomp

It is not likely that anything will
be done in the matter.
Many papers endorse the action
taken against Thompson and his

The most startling play ever pre

the Dream tonight and tomorrow

most famous model will appear in
the 7 act photo-play ‘Purity” This
sensational picture has aroused
muqli criticism, because many be

in pictures. Why shouldn’t the
screen show what famous art
studios the world over display.
Paul the Apostle said ‘To the Pure
All Things are Pure”. The censors
throughout the states passed
“‘Purity” as a work of Art, and the
Dream presents with an absolute
guarantee of it being a clean play,
without a trace of vulgarity or sug
gestiveness. Shows will start 7,

ago by high officials ol the A. F.

Council was primarily to remove
the influence of the American
Federation of Labor or at leas;
that portion of its officials who
were regarded as conservative and
who were taking steps to back up
the war policies of President Wil

Gompers himself wrote a rebuke
against the People’s Council of
New York over the agitation which
th 3 Garment \V0rker3 originated
because of the fact that govern
ment contracts went to non union
firms and were alleged to have
been subbed out to sweat shops and
tenement workers.
The People’s Council thereupon
was charged with exciting this at
tack and Gompers openly charged
that it was pro-German. They
charged in turn that the Alliance
was formed to off-set the Council.

EXTREMISTS FAcL
HEADWAY AGAINST CABINET
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—An at
tempt by the extremists to create
feeling against the new ministry
at the last session of the Petrograd
Council of Workmen’s and Soldiers
had failed. The majority of the de
legates responded with enthusiasm j
to speeches favoring the new min- I
istry. This statement was cabled to J
the Jewish daily. Forward, yester- j
day by :ts Petrograd correspondent. j
The cable in parts reads:
"The maximalist tried in vain j
to create a feeling against the nev.
ministry in speeches made at tli— t
session of the Petrograd Council
of Workmen and Soldiers. They
were in the minority and most o£
lhe speakers who addressed the
council favored the new ministry.
“The speech of the ex-Minister ot
Post and Telegraph Tserzstelll drew
rounds of applause. The major
ity of the delegates responded en
thusiastically when he appealed to
thorn to unite in a supreme effort
lo save Russia from grave danger,
rite minister ended his speech
with the following words:
“ ‘Great free Russia shall not
perish.'
“The Socialist minuter. Tzcrnow.
who has been acquitted of charges
that he was working in ttiter
est of the German government, has
ordered the ex-minister of foreign
affairs and head of the constitu
tional democratic party to retract
his accusations.
“Elections were held in 2:1 of tho
largest cities of Russia. The So
| cialists made enormous gains and
I elected 74 per cent of their dele
! gates. Most of them are social
revolutionists.
“The congress of the ‘cadets’ has
gone cn record against uniting with
I the maximalists or omnarchists.
"M. Glassberg, a Jew, has been
^ appointed vice-minister of finance'
■in tic new Uusihui ministry."
LONDON, Sept. 6.—In every bel
ligerent country the Socialists are
gaining tremendously in power,
and they are infinitely stronger to
day than in August, 1914. They
are waging a campaign for peace
by negotiation. They argue that
they can make a good peace to
moirow, and they declare that every
day the war is prolonged the great
er will be the burden the people
must bear when it ends .
Americans must listen to the
utterances of European statesmen
with the same care with which <hev
watch developments in the battle
zones. They must remember that

Europe has had four years of war,
that millions of men have been
killed and wounded, that the mu
nitions workers, men and women,
have labored as never before, that
lite has be<-ome infinitely more com
plex, that few promises of 1014
have been fulfilled, even in 1917,
and that no government can long
survive unless it shows successes.
It would be wrong to believe
that the great body working in the
belligerent nations for peace is
composed of pacifists. The profes
sional pacifists are doing little
now. They think it unnecessary,
and that it would injure the move
ment if they identified themselves
prominently with it.
Every speech the European states
men are making these days shows
that they, too ,are modifying their
views, and that the leaders are lett
ing the people down by degrees.
This is apparent in the kaiser’s last
utterance and in Lloyd George's
anniversary speech, but events are
moving so rapidly that the leaders

fire finding it difficult to keep up
the pace.
Rut the great change in the last
two mouths does not mean peace
unless it is a peace which the
people consider honorable. There
are few quitters in Europe. The
people hate sacrifled too much to
fear sacrificii g more if they con
sider it necessaiy. It is not. be
cause Europe fears another winter
so greatly that it is rushing into
peace. The people that., is, the
Socialists, labor and a lot of others,
want to exhaust all the possibilities,
of negotiation before they decide
that they must tight further.
