FRANK LITTLE IS
BUTTK, Aug. 1.—Frank Little,
executive board member ol' the In
dustrial Workers of the World was
hanged this morning by a masked
mob of Amalgamated Copper Co.
gunmen. The atr< ' it was perpe
trated at three this tm ruing.
Little who recent!; arrived here
in the interests of the organization
work of tie ’dotal Miners Industrial
Union, was taken from his rooming
house by tin copper trust thugs
and liangt d to a bridge, a railway
trestle and left there by the murd
erers until eight this morning when
■ the body was found. Little was not
allowed time to dress by his as- ,
!sassh,s- , |
t)n th< body which was tied with
i ords were warnings reading |
'"Others will follow; (signed) Viyi- ;
lantes.
Bi'TTK, Aug. 1.—The press dis- I
patches sent out by the capitalist j
agencies are trying to connect Little |
with utterances against the govern-!
’incut in an effort to make his.
' lynching appear as oue to that
I ratln r than the murderous work of I
the copper trust tliuss.
The (lead man was one of the
ablest organizers in the 1. W. \\ .
and Little has carefully abstained
from letting an> other propaganda
interfere with bis organization work.
The claims as to the man's utter
ances on militarism are preposterous
but the copper trust is ready to
make tiiis American a German in
order to wipe its bloody band- in
the folds of patriotism, ile posses
sed considerable personal tn gneM mj
The I. W. W. is smarting foi
vengeance.
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 1.—The Gtr-,
man papers are all of them opening
up a quite extensive campaign for
separate peace with Russia. Some
of them are even falling in line for
the Russian slogan “no indemnities,
no annexations” as applied to the
settlement made under such a sepa
rate peace pact and as the papers
making this proposal are doing so
with much openess, it is quite clear
that it has the government ap
proval.
Almost all the Berlin papers
reaching here show that the govern
ment must have passed their ar
ticles and that the campaign is real
ly a semi-official one now carried
on through the press.
Even in some of the papers which
have been agitating reforms the re
form measures at home are forgot
ten in the zeal for the separate
peace propaganda.
The leading Berlin papers make
strong appeals to the Russians to
desert the Allies, declaring that the
republic has nothing in common
with their imperialist aims. The
policy of Kerensky is declared to be
mistaken, ruinous for the New Rus
sia. The Tageblatt believes that
peace is necessary to consummate
the revolution. The Vossiche Zeit
ung says that nothing but a peace
with the German people will con
solidate the progressive victories
within the domestic economy of
Russia. The Xachtrichten says that
the Russian nation and the Ger
manic have identical aims, identical
culture and identical ambitions and
identical ideals—peace would mean
a regenerated Russia, etc.

BONE DRY AMENDMENT
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 1.—
The first substantial victory the
national wets have gained from Con

hibition, was gained today when the
Senate adopted the resolution to
submit the question of nationwide

WASHINGTON, l). Aug. 1.—
A very important resolution from
tlit- point of view of international
law was passed by the Senate today
when President Wilson was author
ized to confer with the Allied pow

their citizens or subjects into tlu
American army.
This is an especially involved in

There is likely to he made specia

these in any such negotiations.

American ship, it is feared occurred
