AUSTRIAN CZECHS FOR PEACE
MANY U. S. TROOPS
ARRIVE IN EUROPE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—
Bofora tl'.a Military Affairs Ccm
mittoo today, Secretary Baker made
a brilliant spaoch in defence of his
department. He stated that tha
war department through its super
human efforts had mobilized,
equippod with tha very latest
equipments, thoroughly drilled and
iransported over half a million
mon to Europe prior to and during
-he first part • f this year.
Baker elaborately praised un
stiniiugly every member of the war
department as unceasingly doing
their very utmost to the best of
thoir ability in working for the best
interest of the country in carrying
or. this war against Germany. The
Secretary further stated that the
members of his Department had
done their duty well, and nobly by
honest hard work, and nit by talk
ing and exhausting a lot of hot air
like somo of their critic’s had done,
and he said he failed to conscitious
ly see any just cause, for such criti
cism against the members of his de
partment, or himself. He stated to
the committee that there will be at
least ore and a half million .-■ddi
tior.al troops fully equipped, and in
Europe ready for action before the
end of 1918.
The providing of equipment on
such a stupenduous scale the Secre
tary explained was an enormeus
strain on the ' industries of the
country who were dning thoir ut
most to supply the neceesary equip
ment. He said if any mistakes has
been made, ar.d it’s impossible that
all mistakes could be avoided, they
wor e such as could net be charged
to the war department as .to thSr
negligence in any manner, shape or
form. He intimated that American
soldiers would soon be fighting in
largo numbers on the Western
fr nt in Europe and he feels con
fidenl they will demonstrate to the
world the ability of Americans, to
not only take cr.re of themselves In
any kind of a situation, but to face
death as calmly as tho most season
ed veteran and that America had
entered thip war • w to win and
would never stop lighting until she
has obtained that end.
There are now thrity-two canton
ments declared Mr. Baker, contain
ing an aggregation of over one mil
lion men, most of whom ara now
leauy to take their departure when
called upon. There had bee;-, con
siderable difficulty in providing ail
of these men with trir.y clothing
^when first mobilized, most of these
difficulties has been overcome and
supplies are steadily arriving at the
various cantonments.
The Secretary's speech made
quite an impression upon the com
mittee.
GOVERNOR STEPHENS
WILL TAKE ACTION
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 28.—In re
ply to a lenghty telegam sent him
yesteray by President Wilson, Gov
ernor Stephens of California today
declared he would immediately
take action as soon as
the Supreme Court has
ruled on the appeal. Ho will
then institute proceedings for a
new trial for Thomas Mooney.
Thousands of telegrams have been
sent to the Governor from labor or
ganizations throughout the United
States, Canada, South America and
many European country's, pertain
ing to the Mooney case. The labor
ing people throughout the entire
country are greatly incensed at the
flagrant miscarriage of justice in
the San Francsco bomb trial. The
enfamous frame-up system institut
ed by the Commercial Club of San
Francisco is on a par with the cor
rupt activities of other such orga
nizations throughout the country.
Notably Butte, Mont, and Bisbee,
Arizona. It is confidently expect
ed that the action which has
recently been taken by President
Wilson and Governor Stephens,
will do much to pacify the restless
ness among the working class of
the country. The Presidents in
terceeding at this time has a tend
ency to show that Mooney will very
probably be granted a new trial in
the near future. It will also arouse
the spirit of justice inherent in
most Americans, and hereafter
cause the instigators of such gigan
tic frame-ups to be prosecuted.
COPENHAGEN CONFIRMS
REPORT FROM HAGUE
f'
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 28.—Re
ports of tremendous Industrial dis
turbances in Germany are continu
ously pouring into this city. It
comes from reliablo sources that
the turmoil within the Empire is
causing the government to look
upon it seriously. The German peo
pio are incensed over what they
consider a bluff on the part of
their Government in trying to
make them believe that they had
m iv u olno x thisas
been sincere in their offer of a
separate peace with Russia,. The
workers are satisfied they have
been fooled and are beginning to
try and better their conditions
themselves. They seem to realize at
last that they are being slaugther
ed for the benefit of Royalty and
the Groat Corporations, and thou
sands of thenj have came to tho
conclusion that if they must die
fighting, they can do so in no bet
ter cause than thoir own.

URGING FOR PEACE
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 28.—The ef
fect of the Bolshevik! propaganda
spread broadcast o.ver the whole of
Austria and Hungary is clearly
shown, by the new hope and encour
agement it has given all Czechs and
other foreign peoples undei the do
mination of Austria.
Inspired by the open support
given them by the Bolsheviki the
Czechs boldest leader has given
voice to the following speech in the
Austrian Rcichsrat: “Since the
Austrian political system is aimed
againcf the Czech people, it is but
natural that the Czechs refuse to
have their fate determined in this
parliament. The right to self-de
termination must be reserved to
every nation. The ten million
Czecholovaks claim it. Whatever
the Magyars may say, the Czechs
will not abandon the Slovaks after
their sacrifices. They will demand
for them also the right to a nation
al culture. It is true that the
Czechs would welcome peace with
open arms. But you must not for
get that bur epople did not shed
their blood for imperialism or
Germanism. When the millions of
men return from the front they
shall claim freedom and equal
rights for themselves and they
will demand that tho bloody bath
of the present war shall never oc
cur again. We yearn for speedy
peace, but an honorable peace of
men and n.-.tions with equal rights,
not a peace that would leave us in
fetters.” (He was here interrupted
with stormy applause from the
Czech benches.) “The situation to
day with regard to peace constitu
tes a satisfaction for the Bohemieu
people who felt anything but joy,
when war broke out.
Wo are sorry that the pope for
got us. He mentioned the Poles,
and now he has called Irish bishops
to Rome, but he soems to know
nothirg about our nation. We shall
get our rights without foreign as
sistance. Just ns the Germans
solemnly deelrred that they would
not give in to tho majority in Bo
hemia, so the Czechs will not bow
before the majority in the Reichs
rat. They will adhere to tho last
to '.heir declarations made here last
May. Tho(r program is tho same
as the demands made by the .Czech
Socialists representatives in Stock
holm. An independent Bohemian
Str.to with all the attributes of
soverignty. Tho Czechs '.re convin
ced that tho Bohemian problem is
far tc greet to be solved in Vienna.
It cannot disappear, it mr.st be
solved at the world congress.’
This is in harmony with tho op
inions of all the Radicals of differ
ent Universities scattered over the
whole of Austria-Hungary but
whoso faculty a-.d student body is
not, composed of either Austrians
or Hungarians.
Such be Id utierrnccs are looked
upon by the Gorman government
rs tpen treason.
INDUSTRIAL TROUBLES
IN GERMANY
THE HAGUE, Jan. 28..—Serious
disturbances have broken out in
the Roinish Industrial District in
Germany. The Gorman Socialists
and the working people in general
are v;ry much incensed at their
government tor failing to make any
concessions to the Bolshevik! gov
ernment of Russia t> bring about
peace. The supposition is that the
people of Germany cannot be much
longer restricted The Soldiers have
been dispatchod to many r.idusiral
centers to preserve order if pass
ible, they have teen on several oc
casions compelled to use machine
gut-s to suppress the disturbances.
The groit gun works of the Krupp
Co. are in the district where the
principal disturbances are and the
government is greatly worried over
the prospects of ag .in having the
plant abut down, i ad" are rushing
additional troops to the scat of dis
order. The Gorman Chancellor is at
present the center cf a storm of
protests, the people severely criti
cising him for the failure to bring
about a separate peace with the
Boielroviki government. The nation
is arousrd at what they terra the
apparent control of the government
by the Junker’s through the new
Chancellor Count von Hurtling
whom it is claimed is an annexa
tionist himself.
The military garrisons of Berlin
and all of the principal cnies of
Germany have been heavily rein
forced by troops and tho wildest
kind of peace talk prevails. The
Kaiser kin'self is being condemed
in no uncertain largage, and it is
openly charged that since ho has
remained siler.t that he is either in
sympathy with. or he is afraid to
openly oppose the annexationists,
sn (. lhel-rdh edp shrdlrshrh
Reports continue to came into
Berlin from all parts of the Umpire
confirming earlier reports, that the
people are sick and tired of the
wholesale slaugther, and bloodshed
which has been going on almost
continuously during the past forty
one months, and they want peace.
BILL IN CONGRESS TO DEVELOP
PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 28.—
A bill to crcato a public employ
ment service for the effective distri
bution of labor to meet the war’s
demand for increased output was
introduced in Congress today by
servo a term of two years each in
the penitentary. Emma Goldman
had begun to serve her sentence in
the Jefferson city penitentiary
whore she was employed in the
tailor shop at the time she was
released on bail.
Alexander Berkman commenced
to servo out his sentence in the
Atlanta penitentiary when admit
ted to bail. Both will be immediate
ly returned to complete their sen
tences in their respective peniten
tiaries.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Ar
kansas and Representative Edward
Keating of Colorado, as an emer
gency measure.
The bill extends and unifies all
labor exchange activities of the
government, placing them on an in
dependent basis in the Depart
ment of Labor in charge of a di
rector to be appointed by the Pre
sident. It also provides an induce
ment for improved service by
granting financial aid to state and
city employment bureaus co-ope
rating with the national service.
The war work of the govern
ment, it is pointed out, is being
seriously hampered because a com
prehensive system of labor distri
bution is lacking in this country.
The service proposed in tho bill is
ill accord with proposals for the
efficient organization and conduct
of labor placement on a nation
wide scale, but goes further to
ward meeting the situation by pro
viding for unified control and uni
formity of policy, specifying
cle'rly the functions of the new
service and giving direct financial
inducement to states and cities for
fitting into tbo eovarnraent’s
plan.
