THE PRESS ARTICLES ON WAR ON
LABOR; LOCAL CONDITIONS IMPROVE

min Spokane in the past year by
the Card and Label league, at the
head of which is Louis LIE Claire
In touching on the open shop fight
in the coast cities, Mr.. LIE Claire
said: II think thise movement is
dead in SO far as Spokane Is con.
cerned. The movers in the crusade
against union labor found the large
stores of this city handling big lines
of union made goods and feeling
kindly toward union labor. When
no support was foun din this quar-.
ter they gave up the effort and
quit. The Press articles are timely
and should be read by every mem
Der of organized labor"
Said Sam Evans, q member OF
the carpenters union: II don't be.
lieve our people have sufficiently
aroused themselves to the serious
ness Of this fight. While we are
moving along in apparent ease and
security, the other fellows may be
getting In their work in secret, and
the storm may thus break before we
realize it. However, l don't antici.
pate any trouble before the next
year, should there be any move
ment on foot. l think the articles
Of Mr.. Sleeth are fine and to the
point"
D. c. Coates Is of the opinion that
there was an effort made few
weeks ago to embroil Spokane en-
ployers into the fight Of Portland
and Los Angeles, but that not suffi-
cient encouragement was given.
Conditions between employer and
employee, with the exception of two
or three lines, are more satisfactory
here than on the coast, and l think
that Spokane was found to be poor
soil on which to sow the seed of
discord. However, it is well to be
and ready for the battle
should one come"

Probably the most direct effect
of the fight on union labor being
waged in the coast cities was felt
in Spokane in the machinists and
boilermakers' fight, when an effort
was made to have the Los Angeles
ordinance against picketing passed
by the city council here. Such a
storm of protest arose that the ordi-
nance was killed in the city by

Observations to Los An

F. w. Braun, a member of the first
harbor commission Of Los Angeles
who is touring Europe making a study
of harbor conditions with a view to
obtaining data which will be beneficial
to the officials in charge of the Los
Angeles harbor, has forwarded to A.
P. Fleming, secretary of the Los An
geles harbor commission. report on
British and continental harbors. Mr..
Fleming also received the following
letter from Mr.. Braun:
II have seen something of the LlY-
erpool harbor, as we'll as it's approach.
have also seen something of the
London harbor; but at neither point
have / undertaken to investigate de-
tails to an extent which will justify
my making a statement of fact other
than to say that what l have seen was
intensely interesting.
What l have seen and read of har-
bors since leaving Los Angeles, con-
firms me in the opinions expressed to
YOU on several occasions, to the et-
feet that the city of Los Angeles in
its large harbor undertaking can with
much profit to itself, before definite
plans are adopted for harbor develop
ment, send not only member of the
commission, but two or more members,
an engineer and a secretary 10 IN

formation which will permit of laying
a foundation for a harbor that will an
swer all the needs for enlargement, as
there is growth and development of
the country and the increase OF busl-
ness which is certain TO follow. l
strongly recommend that some steps
be taken for the securing of that in
formation that will permit OF making
the right start for the building and de-
velopment of the harbor that will be
a credit to the enterprise and public
spirit of our much beloved city.
"a reading of the printed matter
that I have already sent you very like
ly will strongly direct your attention
to one important feature. VIZ: The
control of all the waterfront by the
municipality. but which under present
conditions at Los Angeles probably
cannot be had Still, it is something
to think about, and the attorneys for
the commission may be in position to
offer a solution or suggestions for
solving the problem
partial control of the waterfront
means only a limited control Of the
harbor's business. and may bring
about serious complications in course
Of time in the matter of haroor con-
troll not only as TO construction, Dut
in the handling of the business of the
harbor, fixing charges and otherwise.
"It is not my intention to attempt to
indicate to the Los Angeles commission
what it shall do, and what I am writ
ing is merely suggestive and an express
sion of ideas of what occurs TO me
after some little observation and read
ing. I may have other matters to re-
fer to from time to time, and when
I have something that I think will be
of interest to yourself and the COM
mission 1 take the liberty of writing
you"
