BRITISH LABOR
IDEALS OUTLINED
Memorandum to Be Presented
to Socialist Congress En
dorses Reparation and Res
toration of Belgium.
London. Aug 10. A special sub
committee of the British labor party
executive committee has been pre
paring a nu'inorandui" upon the issues
raised in the 'vai and the ideas of
British labor in regard to peace pro
posals. This is printed in today's
Daily Telegraph and is presented to
the labor conference in London to
day, and further will be submitted to
, the special conference August 21,
prior to its proposed submission to
,thc alliedand international socialist
conferences.
Briefly the memorandum is a
strong endorsement of the demand
for the reparation and restoration in
behalf of Belgium and other invaded
countries; a declaration in favor of
the right of individual people to set
tle their own destinies; liberation of
oppressed peoples from Turkish mis
government and a demand for the cs-
tablishment of a league of nations for
the maintenance! of peace and the
elimination of war from the world. ,
Allies Must Win.
The meniorandum indicates that
Germany is threatening the very ex
istence of independent nationalities,
striking a blow at all faith in treaties,
and declares that the victory of Ger
many would be. the defeat and de
struction of democracy and liberty.
It disavow., the desire to crush Ger
many, politically or economically,
and declares that, while it is resolved
to fight until victory, it is equally
resolved to resist any attempt to
transform the war into a war of con
quest. '
The memorandum heartily congratu
lates the Russian people on the de
struction of czardom and warmly wel
comes "assistance to the cause of
human freedom in council no, less
than in the battlefield that is now be
ing accorded by the American peo
ple." .

Delegated the memorandum declares:
"Of all war aims none, is so impor
tant as that there should henceforth
on earth, be no' more war. Whoever
triumphs, the world will have lost un
less some effective method of pre
venting war can be found."
Responsible to People.
For this, reliance is largely placed
on the "complete democratization of
Germany and Austria-Hungary,
which now cannot fail to place them
selves in line with other civilized na
tions, on a frank abandonment of
every form of imperialism, on the
suppression of secret diplomacy, on
the placing of the foreign policy un
der the control of elected legislators,
on the absolute responsibility of the
foreign minister of each coiritr- toJ
the legislature; on concerted action
for Jhe limitation of armaments and
the abolition of profit-making of ar
mament firms."
It is further declared that the es
sential cdndition of a treaty of peace
will be the establishment of a "super
national authority, or league of na
tions, adhered to by all present bellig
erents, while every other independent
state in the world should be pressed
to join."
The memorandum reprobates "the
crime against the pee of the world"
whereby Alsace and Lorraine were
torn from France in 1871 and demands
their rstoration. .
It recognizes the necessity of safe
guarding the legitimate interests of
Italians in the Adriatic and the
Aegean; of a just settlement of the
question of Poland and other states
where independence has been tempo
rarily destroyed.
For the Jews equal citizen rights

freeing of Mesopotamia, Armenia and
Arabia from Turkish rule and placed
under the government of a league of
nations. All dream of an African
empire, the booty of any nation,
should be abandoned, the memoran
diftn asserts, and suggests that all
present colonies be transferred to the
proposed league of nations'.
An important conference of -the
labor par,ty will be held at West
minster today to decide whether
British labor shall be represented at
the International Socialist congress
at Stockholm injseptember. The con
ference will consist of delegates from,
all trades union and otheY labor so
cialist representatives ajid is expect
ed to have momentous consequences.
For days past there has been a
sharp division among labor men with
reference to going to Stockholm
and the newspapers have been filled
with rumors, predictions and inter
views. Henderson Undecided.
The division on the eve of the con
ference seems as complete as ever
and it is impossible to predict with
even an approach to esrtainty wheth
er those for the Stockholm confer
ence or those against it prevail. Tlje
main initiatory cause of .difference
was the conversion of Arthur Hend
erson, minister without portfolio, to
the view, while he was in Petrograd,
that it is desirable for British labor
men to go to Stockholm and share
in the deliberations of the interna
tional delegates, including the Ger
mans. It has been stated in the last twenty-four
hours that events in Russia
since his departure have caused a
change in Mr. Henderson's views and
that he would rccain at today's con
ference. There is no confirmation of
this report, which was both reaffirm
ed and denied in today's newspapers.
Jews of East Will Meet to
Offset Slacker Influence
New York, Aug. 10. The Ameri
can Alliance (or Labor and Democra
cy has sent out invitations to more
than one hundred prominent Jews in
Pennsylvania, New Jefsey, Rhode
Island and New York state to attend
a meeting here on Monday at which
pl;fns will be discussed to counteract
the influence of the anti-conscription
organizations throughout the United
States. The alliance, according, to
the secretary, Robert Maisee, will
work in co-operation with the Ameri
can Federation of Labor.
Six Sailors Arrested for
Smuggling Rubber to Germany
New York, Aug. 10. Six members
of a Belgian relief ship crew were ar
rested here today with, three other
men on a charge of smuggling rubber
and platinum into Germany by way of
Holland and Belgium. '
With Germany Eowerless
or Germany Free- Which?
As the War enters its fourth year, the German Emperor, proclaims that the thoughts of the
German people "stand resolute in the determination to prosecute this righteous war of defense to
a successful termination," and tells his .soldiers "we are' invincible. We shall be victorious.
The Lord God will be with us." But while the thunder of British guns in Flanders and the shout
of advancing German regiments in Russia seem to be the loud echoes of these confident asser
tions, representatives of both sides were at the same time contributing to a symposium of peace.
Mr. Balfour declares that Germany must be "either powerless or free" before peace can come.
German peace-hints are prefaced with assertions that German armies in Belgium and Rou
mania are fighting a purely defensive war. Chancellor Michaelis denies imputation of coldness
toward the Reichstag declaration for a peace without conquest, while Count Czernin,
Foreign Minister, of AustriaiHungary, admits that his country is quite ready for an "honorable
peace." While Austria's readiness for peace has long been evidenced by American editors, they
suspect that Germany's outgivings and the firm grip of the military regime conceal an almost
equal longing. v . , 1

Tucson, Ariz., Aug. 10. Long dis
tance telephone messages from Bis
bee this morning -say it was re
ported there lasr evening that Gov
ernor Campbell had asked that fed
eral troops be sent to the Warren
district, but the report was denied this
morning by Governor Campbell.
The governor said he had not yet
called for troops, that he would have
a full discussion with the sheriff of
the county and the mayor before tak
ing action, and that he hoped they
would take his advice and agree on t
course that would guarantee citizens
their constitutional rights, and at the
same tiine prevent a recurrence of
trouble in the Warren mining dis
trict. The following account of conditions
in Bisbee and ihe surrounding dis
trict is taken from reports and state
ments of Arizona officials.
The business men and other citi
zens of Bisbee tre standing behind
the Loyalty league and the vigilance
committee, which is, deporting all
persons believed connected with the
Industrial Worktrs of the World
from the Warren district. Wiley
Jones, attorney general, who has
been investigating conditions, found
the committee in full control, sup
ported by the county supervisors and
the sheriff. He came to the con
clusion proceedings in the county to
stop deportations would be futile.
The vigilance committee meets daily
and takes up the cases of men charg
ed with being sympathizers with the
Industrial Workers of the World. The
committee is composed of about twen
ty members, chosen by the Loyalty
league, and has a chairman andKa sec
retary, who keeps a record of the
proceedings. There also is a marshal,
who executes the judgments of the
committee, from which there is no ap
peal. "Jhe marshal is a deputy sheriff
and has a large posse at his command
to enforce the decrees of the com
mittee. Sheriff Wheeler sometimes
sits with the committee.
When a man is ordered deported
he is informed of the judgment of the
committee by two deputy sheriffs and
told that he is to leave the district
within a stated time. During that
period he is continually under sur
veillance, the deputies assigned to see
that he leaves the district accompany- s
ing him, assisting him in getting his
effects together and finally seeing that
he is put on a train at Osborn.
When they learned that the State
Federation of Labor was about to
send a committee to Bisbee to in
vestigate industrial relations, the vigi
lance committee met and took up the
question of whether they should be
admitted 'or turned back. The de
cision was practically unanimous to
turn back the committee and the mar
shal was ordered to see that they did
not enter the district. The judgment
of the committee was carried out.
While before the committee, Mr.
Jones pointed out that there was no
warrant of law for the existence of
the committee or its course in de
porting citizens from the community,
but the committeemen flatly told
Jones that they intended to continue
their sittings and ordering and exe
cuting deportations as long as the
Industrial Workers of the World ac
tivity continued, as to do otherwise
would clit off copper production there.
