against Spokane and in favor of com
petitive points on the coast. To illus
trate:
Discrimination CHARGED.
The freight on window glass from
Indiana points to Spokane is S1.521a
per 100 pounds in carload lots From
the same points to the coast cities ii
is 80 cents per 100 pounds. From
these coast cities it is 6215 cents per
100, so that the coast shipper can
have his glass shipped to his factory
and resiipped to Spokane for the
same price that the Spokane manu-
facturer pays to have his car stoned
here. This is not the WORST feature
of the case, for the coast mill can put
the glass into sash and ship the
glazed sash into Spokane in carload
lots at a rate of 4012 cents per 100
pounds, so that the same glass on
which the Spokane manufacturer pays
a freight OF $1.52R per 100 pounds. is
shipped to the coast. there put into
windows and reshipped to Spokane
at rate Of $1.3O1a per 100 pounds. So
that % cents per 100 pounds is saved
in freight by shipping the glass to the
NooSL anu iSSuIppIHS IL W SpOhdle III
sash.
Take the matter of shipping stock
goods east, we are Informed there is
rate on fir and cedar doors from Ia
coma to Chicago of 60 cents per 100
pounds. A Spokane manufacturer was
quoted a rate of SO cents per 100
pounds on a car Of doors going from
Spokane to Dubuque. Iowa, showing
the same discrimination that we have
to contend with in shipments coming
to Spokane also exists in products
of our factories that we wish to shiL
east"

CHARGES OF JOBBERY MADE

Olympia.-The railway dominated
members of the last legislature will
be surprised to learn that through the
indirect agency of the Heinrich ar
bitration bill passed by them and now
a law, a sworn statement showing
the need Of a railway commission has
been placed in the hands Of the sup
porters Of Governor McBride's policy.
The Heinrich arbitration bill pro-
yides for a system of arbitration OF
difficulties between labor and en-
p.overs. 1t provides that where either
sI1e in the controversy refuses to ac-
cept the plan OF arbitration set forth
in the act. the state labor commits
sioner shall request a sworn state
ment from the side refusing to arbl-
trate, which statement shall give the
reasons for the refusal.
The Spokane Lumbermen's As5O-
citation, representing all sash and door
factories and planning mills in the city
Of Spokane, is now cOntending with
a demand on the part of the mill
workers for njne-hOur day. A large
number of men are out on strike and
there is a likelihood CT the strike eX
tending TO other branches Of labor and
affiliated labor organizations to the
detrimenJ Of business in the Inland
Empire city.

Arbitration Proposed.

The strikers have proposed arbitra-
ton under the provisions Of the Hem
rich act, but the Iumbermen's asso
citation has declined to arbitrate
State Labor Commissioner William
Blackman, in accordance with the d.
rections of the law, requested OF IT,
association a sworn statement Of its
reasons for declining to arbitrate
The sworn statement has been filed
in Mr.. Blackman's office and is now
made public by him.
In a minor degree the statement
Of the mill owners deals with local
conditions not OF interest on the
Sound, but the principal reason as
signed for refusal to arbitrate is that
a ninehOur day is equivalent to an
increase in wages for the mill work
ers, witch the mill owners claim they
actually cannot afford to pay.
The reason the Spvkane mills can
not pay larger wages through a re-
ductiOn of the working hours, is laid
directly at the door of the railroad
companies.
The statement in that particular is
as follows:
Can't Grant Advance
AS to granting increase of wages
While no increase Of wages per work
ing day is demanded the reduction of
the working hours per day of 10 per
cent. would mean an increase of II
per cent. in the cost Of labor for a
specified number of hours. TIE own
erS Of the woodworking establish
mentS in Spokane have been accus-
toned heretofore to regulate and in
crease the wages Of their employees
from time to time as conditions Or
the increased ability of the employees
warranted. Under these conditions
during the last twelve months the
wages Of wood workers in the Spo-
kane mills have been advanced con-
Siderably, so that present conditions
would not permit tie owners to grant
another advance Of II per cent at
this time
There are many factors which
make 1t impractical 10 change the
present basis of operation for the mills
in this city, but Will make reference
to only two or three. One of these is
the discrimination in the freight rates
