"uaug'" went the pistol, and the
air was filled with flying dirt.
For the first half day the darkes
whoopcd and hallaocd. They sang,
and laughed, and swoated. The dump.
cart men raced their mules up and
down the line. and by nightiall there
was work ready for some of the
track layers. Chester wrote a iubil.
ant letter TO Goldsmith that night.
But all OF his troubles were not yet
over. For the balance of the first
week the interest was milagging,
and the tirelcss worl,mcn sat up till
all hours of the night discussing
the progress of the competition. But
when the score was posted at the
Office. and ii was seen that Haydeps
vile was Il big leader, with Warsaw
proper second. and the others a long
distance behind. ambition and inter.
est began to flag in the other centers
involved in the competition. Monday
morning found Chester contemplate
ing his depleted payroll with a
mournful eye. 8ut he had not seen
the Yale football team coached for
nothing Monday afternoon found him
urging on a party of the laggards
with all the vim and energy which "A
two hundred pound coach puts into
his admonitions to hundred ana
fifty pound end.
Now then, all together" Chester
was shouting. "Heave no, Wen catch
them YET" And then he started a
song
BY devoting one day of the week to
each OF the six gangs which had
Jagged behind. and urging on them
the necessity of recruiting their

Chester managed to even up the

of the best interests of the women and
children as their hours and conditions
of labor are battles which must daily
be fought under our leadership as
against corporate greed
Many other subjects of interest and
needed relief will appeal to you, each
of Importance within itself, but let us
bear in mind that under present condi-
tions the concentration OF every effort
upon few of the most important and
fundamental principles is necessary if
we are to achieve any degree of success.
Labor Press.
Our labor press is constantly grow
ing factor in the upbuilding of the labor
movement, the value of which is ines.
Unable Space therein in behalf of the
work of the federation has at all times
been gratuitously and cheerfully given.
1t becomes us as trades unionists to give
them better support that they may en-
Joy greater prosperity and attain great
err efficiency in the struggle for Justice
and liberty.
Conclusion.
The years work has been accomplish
ed without meeting of the executive
board except one held yesterday. This
has deprived the members thereof of the
opportunity to become thoroughly ac-
quainted and enjoy the associations
resultant from such meetings. By cor
respondence, however, we have main
tanned the best possible effort and our
work has been harmonious from begin
ming to end.
The success of the year as shown by
our secretary-treasurer's report, has
been attained by the diligent efforts
of united board. Our secretary,
through devotion to the cause seconded
by an ability surpassed by none, has
by his persistency and capability sue
ceeded where others of us might have
failed We are nightly pleased as a
board to return to you the largest, most
united and consequently most influen-
tial organization the state has ever
known.

the work we are daily doing until he at
tempts to make complete and compre-
hensive report of the years achieve

every citizen of this state.
Our water power alone if developed
would exceed, it is claimed, all the
power now used in the industries of the
United States. Our timber interests are
the greatest of any state and our coal
and mineral deposits represent wealth
still unestimated.
The income from such assets if de-
veloped by the state or under lease,
should make us tax free people and
leave us ever in control of these wealth
producers.
Should we not, then, join in the move
ment for conservation and prevent fur
their ownership by corporate interests ?
Recommendations
| have called your attention to a num-
Der of things which should receive your
earnest consideration but | refrain from
making many recommendations PREFER
ing rather to depend upon the good
Judgment of the members of this con-
vention to thoroughly consider and act
according to their Judgment.
The one fundamental feature of the
vote much time until success is ours, is
that of direct legislation and the re-
call. Without them we are subject to
a continuation of money rule, with them
we ourselves will be the rulers. With
direct legislation the only limit in our
power is the will of the majority, with
out it that power is in the hands of
few shrewd, INSCRIPTIONS men.
We will make far greater progress if
we devote our entire energies to this
one issue until successful, rather than
by distributing our efforts upon minor
measures which may be more easily
secured under the initiative and referen-
dunn.
To secure satisfactory legislation at
one session after an expensive campaign,
only to have it amended to death at the
next, must be stopped and the only
method to successfully destroy the
power of money in legislative and other
governing bodies is direct legislation.
In behalf of liability legislation we
must continue our efforts. A study of
the subject convinces me that our goal
must eventually be workingmen's COM
pensation of some nature, yet it is
questionable whether we have advanced
far enough to strive to that end now.
fully realize that stipulated price for
life and limb is Objectionable, yet when
compared with present methods of as
certaining damages and degree of suf-
fering, is in many ways far preferable.
A compensation act should be so drawn
as to leave no loop holes for courts and
attorneys. It should provide for a
prompt payment to the injured or heirs
of the deceased of the amount specified.
This would result in workingmen and
their heirs receiving far greater net COM
pensation than under the liability sys-
tenn which invariably means suits in
our superior and supreme courts, the
payment of the costs of which, together
with the usual percentage to attorneys,
often times takes nearly all of the judg-
ment awarded.
We must forever ,remain watchful

attention to the affairs of our fellow
unionists If the workinmen could learn
to realize that they are the real en-
ployers of labor; if they will in their
every day life carry into effect their
open professions, it will not be long be-
fore every man and woman working for
wages will be a member of trade
union"
The same principle is involved in the
contest now going on in Spokane be-
tween the mayor and the organized In
dustrial Workers of the World.
While the latter are contending for
rights against which Spokane judge
advises no constitutional ordinance can
be prepared, i.e., the right of assembly
and free speech upon the streets, yet
they have been arrested by the humid
reds, fined and sent to Jail under a
charge of disorderly conduct, when to an
observing citizen about the only visible
disorderly act was performed by the
blue coat, who arrested them.
A point in this fight with which some
of you may not be familiar is that back
of it is the employment agency evil
These agencies are so corrupt in Spo-
kane that these men-the victims-de-
sired to denounce them from the street
corners.
Another phase of the same question
is before us in the case of H. M. Wells
of Seattle, editor of the Bundy Record
err paper printed in the interests of
the postoffice employees. Wells has
been dismissed from the service with no
charge against him other than that he
as editor mildly criticised the manage
ment in some minor details affecting
the local office.
Ninety per cent of the people would,
no doubt, express themselves in favor
of the rights demanded by these men,
yet under our system our courts in the
first instance will punish the so-called
offenders with jail sentence and the
government, in the latter will deprive
him of the right to earn livelihood.
Are we in Russia?
Was not Jefferson right when he
phophesied that the United States
courts would prove to be the "miners
and sappers" of the liberties of this
country?
Someone says: "Well, what are you
going to do about it?
Do-agitate, educate, organize, as
sociate with other agitators, organizers,
educators, see that the masses awaken
to the fact that there is no longer a
