EMPLOYMENT SHARKS MUST GO

Few people in Tacoma realize what great big
crying evil this employment business is.
If more did, we'd have had an adequate city bll-
reau long ago, and the sharks and crooks who prey
the ignorant and helpless would have been drv-
en- out of town before the lash of public opinion.
The city attorneys office knows something of the
conditions. The newspapers which take the side of
the under dog, know much.
Here's instance.
Labor men charge-and they say they can furnish
affidavits to support the charge-that the DUPONT
Powder works has standing contract with certain
employment bureau to supply 10 men every day.
THESE TEN MEN WORK ONE DAY, THEN
ARE FIRED. ON THE MORROW THE NEXT
TEN ARRIVE TO TAKE THEIR PLACES
The poor victims out their railroad fare to Du-
Pont, maybe board bill and hospital fee which is
charged III most OF these camps regardless of whether
the worker stays ten minutes a full month, and
maybe is even technically owing the company money
when he is let out.
The company profits by the work it gets done for
nothing
How the employment agency and foreman in
charge profit can be guessed
There are many such cases in and around Tacoma.
Usually they are safe from prosecution. The con-
tracts are so wOrded that the victim has little legal
redress, and can't afford to fight anyway
These sharks must be driven out of business The
big city bureau looks the best way to do it, 1t must
be built carefully and be above suspicion.

Unless an unlooked-for revolu-
tion occurs in New Mexico the new
state will enter the union with a
"heads you win tails I lose" out
look for the people against the
corporations.
New Mexico accepted" a con-
'stitution harder to amend than
the constitution of the United
States, through suppression of the
franchise at ratification. There Is
"a chance that under the Flood
amendment the constitution will
be changed in this respect-if the
bosses allow the peoples votes to
be counted. In other respects the
outlook is gloomy. The good
school lands will probably be
bought up for SO an acre by the
corporations. The referendum in
the constitution Is unavoidable, so
anything the bosses put over will
have to be swallowed.

Plan to Establish Hebrew Farm Colony in Wyom-

Certain Jewish peddlers of the
Ghetto of Chicago have started a
"back-to-the-soil" movement like
ly to develop into the biggest farm
colonization scheme ever launched
in this country.
One hundred and twenty fami-
lies - 500 people - have Joined
the movement already. There is
waiting list of 800 families. A
thorough organization has been
effected, tentative negotiations
have been opened with Wyoming
officials looking to the taking up
of a big tract of government land
in the central part of that state,
and wealthy Hebrew philan-
thropists have been interested in
the plan.
The movement Is NOT on a
charity basis, however. The Or

THE ANSWER

The essentials of success
full immigrant occupation are
a fairly compact settlement in
groups large enough to main
tain a church and perhaps a
school; land sufficiently fer
tile to produce the staple
crops; capital to purchase
minimum equipment for the
type of agriculture adopted;
day labor or some other i'm
mediately available form Of
income to enable the foreign
settler to support his family
until his farm becomes self
supporting. Let the foreigner
pay for his purchase not more
than 25 per cent above it's
productive value, and nine
times out of ten he will win
out on these terms.-The

With vigor grim.

On patient toll.
