HAYWOOD WANTS
A REVOLOTION
To Destroy the Capitalists of United
States and Wipe Out State
Governments.
WASHINGTON, May 13.—William
Haywood, the Socialist and I. W. W.
leader, today told the Industrial Re
lations commission that the I. W. W.
leaders advocated a revolution to de
stroy the present Industrial and po
litical systems, which made slaves of
the workingmen in order that capital
might be able to grind out every pen
ny from the toil and misery of the
poor of this country.
Haywood would also abolish state
governments and make one central
government witih the people ruling
and the capitalistic system forever
destroyed. The I. W. W. leader in
sisted that he cared not how his ob
ject was accomplished, either through
a peaceful revolution or by a civil
war, but come it must, he said, in
order to give the workingmen of the
United States a chance to profit by
their labor.

NOTSELECTED
The Valdez school board met last
night at the city hall but did not
select the staff of teachers for the
coming year. The members of the
board are endeavoring to secure an
expression of the desires of the par
ents of children attending the school.
Mrs. Albert White, treasurer of the
board, has made personal calls upon
the parents and will visit all the
families having children in the Valdez
schools. The board is determined to
secure the best teaching staff possible
and will not make the selections un
til next Friday evening, by which
time the canvass will be concluded.'
VALDEZ ARBOR Oil
NEXT_MDKDAY
'■'ho children of the Valdez public
schools are very enthusiastic over the
approach of Arbor Day, which will
be on Monday next, when the day
will be devoted to beautifying the
school grounds.
Fortunately the Civic League have
on hand a number of ornamental
trees which can be used for the oc
casion. The price of the trees is
75 cents each and anyone desirous
of donating a tree for this purpose
may do so by notifying any of the
high school students or Professor
Davis. Name tags will be attached
to all trees that are donated.
,Mr. Finical, of the Copper River
Lumber company, has donated the
necessary lumber to enclose the young
trees, and the hauling both of lum
ber and trees will be done without
any charge. As the time is short
no time should be lost in securing a
tree and helping this meritorious pro
ject.
