Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter CAN WE FORGET? The recent appeal of the women of Germany to the women of America for food to prevent suffering and starvation in the late Kaiser’s dominions, is not meeting with much sympathy if expressions heard in Anaheim are indicative of the sentiments of all the people of this country. The women especially are bitter in their denunciation of the proposal to send foodstuffs from America to Germany. "With the atrocities committed by the Huns during the past four years still fresh in my memory," said one lady, "I will not consent to deny my family and myself necessaries in order to feed and keep alive people responsible for the unspeakable crimes against God and humanity that have been perpetrated during the progress of the war. I cannot forget so soon." Fourteen centuries have passed since Attila and his horde of Huns devastated Europe with fire and sword, and the world has not yet forgotten it. Attila and his Huns were amateurs compared to William Hohenzollern and his nineteenth century cut-throats, whose deeds will be remembered as long as the world exists. We cannot forget that for nearly memory a move to feed the German people by conservation at home will not be a popular move, but their ships will probably be released and permitted to go into neutral ports for food if anybody can be found who will accept German gold. WAGES, WORK-HOURS AND TARIFF The declaration by Samuel Gompers that organized labor will resist to the uttermost any attempt to reduce wartime wages or lengthen hours of labor is one that will be read with interest by all the people of the country, as also will any statement he has to make as to the means by which the present high wages and short hours are to be maintained. To the extent that maintenance of high standards of wages and of conditions of labor are possible, Mr. Gompers will have the co-operation of the republicans of the country. The republican party has always endeavored to maintain an economic policy which makes possible the payment of the highest wages, and the observance of the shortest hours, and we believe the records will show that in time of peace American labor has been better paid under republican politics than under those imposed by the democratic party. It is perhaps true that, on an average, hours of labor have been shortest under a democratic administration, for in 1893 and 1913-14 millions of American working men found their hours of labor cut to nothing at all. Having made his declaration regarding continued high wages and short hours, Mr. Gompers should explain specifically how he expects to secure and preserve a market for the product of high wages and short hours in competition with the product of low wages and long hours from Europe and Asia. Republicans hope to maintain the home market for American producers. They restraint.

While President derng over the main delegation it dev Fourteen centuries have passed since Attila and his horde of Huns devastated Europe with fire and sword, and the world has not yet forgotten it. Attila and his Huns were amateurs compared to William Hohenzollern and his nineteenth century cut-throats, whose deeds will be remembered as long as the world exists. We cannot forget that for nearly half a century the German people had been preparing for war, subordinating all other pursuits to it—not a defensive war but a war of conquest and plunder. When preparations were complete nothing but a provocation was needed, and the flimsiest excuse ever grasped by a nation offered. An Austrian prince was shot on Austrian soil by an Austrian subject. Austria pounced upon Serbia, and Germany sent three great armies toward France and another toward Russia. We cannot forget that German representatives signed the treaty of the Hague, guaranteeing the integrity of small neutral nations in case of war, but that three German armies invaded Belgium, Luxemburg and Switzerland, and that the German government, when remonstrated with, declared that a treaty was merely a scrap of paper if it interfered with Germany's plans for aggrandizement. We cannot forget that when the troops were leaving the women of Germany assembled at the stations, waving flags, singing songs, and going mad with joy because "der tag" had finally come, and the wealth of the world would shortly be pouring into the lap of Germany. We cannot forget that death, desolation and despair followed in the wake of the German army through Belgium, and that the Huns, insane with the lust for destruction, laid the country in waste and destroyed everything they could not send back to Germany. We cannot forget the thousands of women of Belgium and France outraged by the bestial Huns, the women with their breasts sliced off in order that they might not nurse another offspring, and the little children with their hands chopped off to prevent them becoming useful citizens. We cannot forget that the people of conquered Belgium and France were sent back to Germany to work as slaves in the mines and munition plants, and that they were starved and beaten to death by thousands. We cannot forget that defenseless humanity that have been perpetrated during the progress of the war. I cannot forget so soon." Having made his declaration regarding continued high wages and short hours, Mr. Gompers should explain specifically how he expects to secure and preserve a market for the product of high wages and short hours in competition with the product of low wages and long hours from Europe and Asia. Republicans hope to maintain the home market for American producers. They hope that we shall be able to sell our surplus in the market we have gained during the war. We hope to accomplish this through a protective tariff which will build up our home production to such a high quantitative basis that our unit cost of production will be low, thus enabling us to sell the surplus in competition with all the rest of the world. That is a specific statement of the methods by which republicans would maintain high wages and short hours for American labor. Now will Mr. Gompers state specifically his plan for enabling American labor to market its products in competition with the rest of the world, for we must have a market for our products or we can have no satisfactory standard of wages and conditions of labor. LABOR PUT TO THE TEST The adoption of the employees' representation plan by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, closely following such action by the Midvale Steel & Ordnance Company, is of more than passing significance. When two companies of such size and importance enter into so original a method of dealing with their employees and that probably not without deep study, it would seem to indicate that the principle embodied is likely to find a more widespread application. This much may be said for the plan at its inauguration; it is bringing capital and labor together in a more friendly spirit with a determination to reconcile their fundamental differences. Whatever makes for a better understanding between the employee and his employer, whatever contributes to making the employee satisfied and establishes mutual confidence will go a long way toward removing disorganizing influences which are ever at work to accomplish the opposite purpose. Will labor be satisfied with a fair recompense or will it seize the opportunities thus entrusted to it by this measure of self-government to force traction, for in 1893 and 1913-14 millions of American working men found their hours of labor cut to nothing at all.

MILLIONS ARE D Domination by Sec by Appropriation In passing out the army camps and Democratic admin 306,991.34 to sixteeth Mason and D $200,559,222.01 to The division of priations by states Alabama Arkansas Florida Georgia Kentucky Louisiana Maryland raged by the bestial Huns, the women with their breasts sliced off in order that they might not nurse another offspring, and the little children with their hands chopped off to prevent them becoming useful citizens. We cannot forget that the people of conquered Belgium and France were sent back to Germany to work as slaves in the mines and munition plants, and that they were starved and beaten to death by thousands. We cannot forget that defenseless towns were bombed by Zeppelins, hundreds of non-combatants being killed, and that merchant ships on the ocean, of both belligerent and neutral countries, were sunk by the undersea sharks, even lifeboats containing helpless people, being destroyed by the inhuman fiends with shell fire. We cannot forget the unspeakable cruelties practiced upon prisoners of war. Stories are told of these same women who are now beseeching us for aid, dangling glasses of water before English prisoners whose tongues were parched and swollen for want of a drink, pouring the water out on the ground, then spitting on the suffering men. We cannot forget that even now, after the signing of the armistice, allied prisoners are turned out of doors into the wintry weather, dressed in rags, without a crust of bread or a penny in money, and left to make their way a hundred miles through a hostile population to the allied lines or perish by the roadside—which many of them are doing. Lastly we never can forget that forty thousand of our bravest and best boys, representing every community in the nation, who went across the sea to check the Hun-in-his-mad race for plunder, are now sleeping their last sleep under the popples of France. With all these things green in our reconcile their fundamental differences. Whatever makes for a better understanding between the employee and his employer, whatever contributes to making the employee satisfied and establishes mutual confidence will go a long way toward removing disorganizing influences which are ever at work to accomplish the opposite purpose. Will labor be satisfied with a fair recompense or will it seize the opportunities thus entrusted to it by this measure of self-government to force unjust terms on capital. Stable government must be based on the qualifications of the individual for governing himself. This plan may be an instrument for sound construction or an agency for destruction. The responsibility rests on labor; it has been conceded every point making for just decision in every problem that may arise. The big question is whether labor will keep the faith. Employees are bound to agree to practically everything labor may decide as being fair, the only check against unwarranted demands being that provided by arbitration. If there is any plan based on broader, more democratic principles, more generous to labor it has not been brought forward to date. Certainly, the promises of the so-called labor organizers do not hold out better and surer prospects for the future of the working man. It is to the employees' best interests to accept the plan and enter into it in the same spirit with which it is being inaugurated by the employers; to turn their backs on the agitators and decide for themselves what their future shall be. The employees' representation plan reflects the spirit of the times. Self-determination may usher in a glorious era among our own industries as among the peoples of the world. But it must not be forgotten that the success of every republic is founded on Total ...

Let the meaning of that word sink into the breast of every man and there will be no more Bolshevism in labor but plenty of liberty of the kind that will make this land appear the land of opportunity which it, indeed, is for all men. G. O. P. WILL KEEP TAB Decisions of the forthcoming peace conference must be unanimous. There will be no majority rule. As a result preliminary conferences of the United States, England, France and Italy will be held at which the slate will be written and agreed upon and then when the fall peace table is assembled the ticket will be adopted—with perhaps some minor alterations. The "preliminaries" will get under way late next month or the first of January. In questions affecting the smaller submerged nations now rising to a place of their own it is likely that their wishes as to the future will be largely considered in dealing with the problems. One of the matters destined to occupy much time is that of "freedom of the seas." This doctrine is nebulous now. Paris press messages say one phase of this subject will deal with submarine warfare, proposing elimination of U-boat sinkings of all freight and passenger ships. While theoretically there will be no more wars, but this plan, if followed in a war, would materially shorten the war. If in the great war, for instance, had Germany refrained from the use of U-boats against anything but strictly naval boats, the problem of supply would have been in a position to end the conflict sooner than it was finished. While President Wilson is still pondering over the make-up of his peace delegation it developed that republic. Committee. Louisville got the $8,375,279 cantonment and Indianapolis, the choice of the military experts, got a $582,000 repair depot. On October 4, last, it was announced that Louisville was to get another cantonment, with an initial appropriation of $20,000,000. This gives Representative Sherley two cantonments in his district involving the expenditure of nearly $30,000,000 of the government's money. What Rest of Nation Got California $14,980,398.84 Illinois 11,878,150.11 Indiana 582,000.00 Iowa 8,518,975.38 Kansas 11,611,998.31 Massachusetts 11,480,837.87 Michigan 18,165,178.56 Nebraska 549,266.00 New Jersey 51,103,884.79 New York 17,818,965.30 Ohio 36,116,364.64 Pennsylvania 8,893,732.00 Vermont 108,823.13 Washington 8,750,647.68 Total $200,559,222.01 It will be noted that of the appropriations awarded states north of the Mason and Dixon line, New Jersey obtained over one-fourth of the total. It is a favorite argument of Southern Democrats, in excusing this discrimination, that the splendid climate of the Southern states accounts for the favoritism shown that section of the country. Unfortunately for this argument, the facts do not sustain it. For example, California's climate is quite as noted for its mildness in winter as is the climate of Alabama. California's climate is far more healthful than Alabama's, the latter being full of malaria. California received $14,980,398 in appropriations for army camps and other military works. Alabama received $61,386,145, or two-fifths as much as point for the military. They quickly staged an impromptu mass meeting at which speakers denounced the "Bolsheviks." They were cheered not only by the men in uniform, but by civilian sympathizers. When some one called upon "loyal Americans" to charge the garden and attack the internationalists, several hundred responded. They were driven back, however, by mounted police and men on foot who had surrounded the building. Realizing that they had failed in the first attack, the soldiers and sailors resumed their meeting and awaited the arrival of reinforcements. Probably 1000 men of both branches of the service had assembled by the time the meeting adjourned. The opening of the doors of the garden was the signal for a second charge which the police were unable to repel. The soldiers and sailors fought their way past swinging night sticks and attacked the Socialists, who had packed the big building. Almost instantly, the square was filled with yelling, running, fighting men. The screams of women, most of them wearing red roses or carnations in lieu of forbidden flags, rose above the din as they clawed and scratched the soldiers and sailors who were pummeling the male Socialists. Mounted police, reinforced by automobile loads of reserves rushed from every station house within a radius of miles, struggled vallantly to clear the square, but made little progress. Soldiers and sailors, thoroughly angered by what they considered an insidious attack on the flag they had sworn to defend, paid little attention to blows from night sticks. They were bent on getting revenge from the internationalists and many of them succeeded. The square was cleared of milling men only when Socialists by ones and twos and in groups broke and fled.

MILLIONS ARE DUMPED IN SOUTH Domination by South Clearly Shown by Appropriations for Cantonments In passing out the appropriations for army camps and cantonments the Democratic administration gave $490,306,991.34 to sixteen states south of the Mason and Dixon line and only $200,559,222.01 to all the other states. The division of the original appropriations by states was as follows: Alabama $61,386,145.36 Arkansas 15,409,572.56 Florida 7,278,201.24 Georgia 28,710,845.85 Kentucky 8,375,239.90 Louisiana 6,240,474.65 Maryland 39,187,441.87 BOLSHEVIK DOCTRINE UNPOPULAR IN AMERICA Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and marines broke through a cordon of police surrounding Madison Square Garden, New York, Monday night, and attacked International Socialists who had attended a mass meeting at which the favoritism shown that section of the country. Unfortunately for this argument, the facts do not sustain it. For example, California's climate is quite as noted for its mildness in winter as is the climate of Alabama. California's climate is far more healthful than Alabama's, the latter being full of malaria. California received $14,980,398 in appropriations for army camps and other military works. Alabama received $61,386,145, or two-fifths as much as the total appropriations given to northern and western states. California subscribed $358,194,200 to the Second and Third Liberty Loans, or 24 times what the government spent on camps in California. Alabama subscribed only $38,795,350 to those two loans, or less than two-thirds as much as the government had spent in that state. But Alabama is the home of Chairman Dent of the House Committee on Military Affairs. Texas the Prize Winner Then there is Texas. It is notorious for its "northers," the worst of blizzards, in winter. In summer it is the hottest state. Its Rio Grande border is a waste of sand. Malaria fever is the plague of every camp in Texas. All told, it has probably the most inapplicable assortment of weather of any state. Yet Texas was handed six army camps, eleven aviation camps, one concentration camp and one repair depot, with total appropriations of $32,652,744.11. These plums were generously passed around so that Waco, Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio and Wichita Falls each got a liberal bite. This is more than the total appropriations for cantonments and other military plans in the states of Massachusetts, Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana and Kansas. It is more than was appropriated for army camps in the two states of Illinois and New York. But, then, Texas is the home of Colonel House, the "unofficial president"; Postmaster General Burleson and Attorney General Gregory. BOLSHEVIK DOCTRINE UNPOPULAR IN AMERICA Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and marines broke through a cordon of police surrounding Madison Square Garden, New York, Monday night, and attacked International Socialists who had attended a mass meeting at which every station house within a radius of miles, struggled valiantly to clear the square, but made little progress. Soldiers and sailors, thoroughly angered by what they considered an insidious attack on the flag they had sworn to defend, paid little attention to blows from night sticks. They were bent on getting revenge from the internationalists and many of them succeeded. The square was cleared of milling men only when Socialists by ones and twos and in groups broke and fled. The scrimmage in the park then was transferred on a smaller scale into every neighboring street. Groups of Socialists soon were running along Fifth avenue, a half mile north and south of Twenty-sixth street, pursued by shouting uniformed men, most of them hatless and coatless. When they went to the meeting, the men, almost without exception, wore red neckties because red flags were under official ban. These red ties were the special mark of soldiers and sailors. After the fight they were cherished as souvenirs. Hundreds of the Socialists were beaten, but so far as learned, none was seriously hurt. IN HONOR OF THE BOYS The following resolution introduced by J. T. Ahlborn, was adopted by the Anaheim board of trade Monday night: To petition the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim to take immediate steps to provide for the City of Anaheim a suitable park and cause the planting of shade trees upon the streets of the City of Anaheim for the purpose of commemorating in a fitting manner the signing of peace and the victory of democracy—and to meet a long-felt desire of the citizens of this community. Whereas, It is customary to commemorate great events in history by creating lasting monuments, which suitably express and preserve for posterity the great deeds of the nation's heroes and serve as an inspiration to future generations, Whereas This great nation of ours has given to the world a new creed, founded upon the principles of democracy and the freedmon of all nations, and Whereas The United States of America not only proclaimed to the world those principles of democracy founded upon justice and liberty, but has also sacrificed its treasures and poured out its life blood in defense BOLSHEVIK DOCTRINE UNPOPULAR IN AMERICA Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and marines broke through a cordon of police surrounding Madison Square Garden, New York, Monday night, and attacked International Socialists who had attended a mass meeting at which Bolshevik doctrines were expounded. The men and women leaving the hall broke and fled as the men in uniform charged past the police, but were pursued into the side streets in all directions. The attack on the Socialists came at the close of a meeting which threatened from the moment it began to break into a riot. It was called ostensibly to protest against the execution of Thomas J. Mooney, but Scott Nearing, who presided, and the other speaker devoted most of their attention to pleas for the release of "political" offenders. Several men and women were arrested for displaying red flags smuggled into the garden in defiance of an edict by Mayor Hylan. Large numbers of men in uniform entered the building before the doors were locked, with the avowed intention of preventing attacks on the government. They were restrained with difficulty by police and detectives from making an assault on the stage. Scores of fights were interrupted by officers. Soldiers and sailors who were unable to get into the meeting, sent out patrols to round up all the men in uniform who could be found to join the charge on the Socialists which had been planned to take place when the oratory was ended and the internationalists started for their homes. Madison Square was the rallying hero and serve as an inspiration to future generations, and Whereas, This great nation of ours has given to the world a new creed, founded upon the principles of democracy and the freedmon of all nations, and Whereas, The United States of America not only proclaimed to the world those principles of democracy founded upon justice and liberty, but has also sacrificed its treasures and poured out its life blood in defense of those principles, and Whereas, The young men of this community have responded most freely to the call of the country and have gone forth with others from this nation to do battle in the name of democracy, and Whereas, It has come to pass that from among those, who went forth to do battle, there are some, who have made the supreme sacrifice, and Whereas, It behooves a nation, to keep in grateful remembrance forever, the heroes who died in order that the nation might live, and Whereas, The City of Anaheim has at-all times, proven itself patriotic and loyal to the principles of democracy, and Whereas, The City of Anaheim in accord with other communities throughout the nation feels grateful for the freedom and liberty it enjoys in common with the people of the United States of America, and Whereas, The people of the City of Anaheim desire to express in a suitable and lasting manner their appreciation of the victory and glorious peace achieved, be it therefore Resolved, That in the opinion of the Anaheim Board of Trade, an immediate effort should be made to meet the desire of the people of Anaheim to create a lasting monument, which suitably expresses and preserves in grate- They quickly mass meeting at announced the "Bolthe cheered not only form, but by civilian on some one called trans" to charge the international and responded.

Mr. Ford will undoubtedly prove a success as a country editor. He has one of the essentials of success to begin with—a bank account. It is believed he cached a stocking full of dough while engaged in manufacturing flivvers, and he will find this cache useful to him Saturday night when the boys are clamoring for their pay. It will also help to satisfy the voracious appetite of the wholesale paper man. Mr. Ford is well equipped for the business and will undoubtedly make a success so long as he eschews politics and doesn't attempt to get himself elected to congress as a democrat.
