DIRECT LEGISLATION IN OREGON.

Organized labor in Oregon was vitality concerned
in three affecting the labor that
submitted to the voters at the last election.
One of these bills proposed by the Central
Labor Council of Portland and vicinity. The other
two proposed by enemies of organized labor
The first proposition, which a bill making eight
hours days labor public work, where done directly
through agents contractors, was proposed by
initiative petition and carried by majority of
16,430 of the votes cast thereon.
The second bill, which proposed by enemies of
labor was designed to prohibit boycotting, picketing
enticing, persuading, etc., in connection labor
strikes This bill opposed by the Central Labor
Council and was defeated by vote of 1874.
The third bill evidently designed to prevent the
Socialists from holding street meetings was proposed
to prohibit the Of public Streets parks and play
grounds In any city town of 5000 population or
over for holding meetings for public discussion or
speechmaking purpose without written permit from
the mayor.
The Central Labor Council of Portland also opposed
this and it defeated by majority of
1855 votes.
The trade unions of Oregon conducted an active
campaign in behalf of their measure as they also did
in opposition to the two anti-labor bills It required
twenty years of energetic work on the part of the
pass the Federal Eght-Hour Law The workingmen

HURRAH! WE'RE OFF.

u EXPRESS managers are inclined
~ to smile at the parcels post.
They at least pretend to believe that
the new government service will fail,
that the people will not take to it
but will return to the pre- sent ex-
press system.
There are weaknesses in the par
GELS post law. Legislators seem never
willing to adopt the success of others
especially when q strong lobby is
opposed. Red tape must also be lib
orally wrapped about the laws oper-
ations by the administering officials
and fill the regulations they lay down.
Directions and simplicity never is
their way.
But the new parcels post Is not
likely to prove the failure the express
managers assert 1t will be. 1t has in
it many faults and starts in hampered
with red tape. But it also has great
possibilities, and improvements will
come in time. 1t can aid the people
in cheapening their living if they will
use it, and they will come to use it
as they discover its virtues and posi-
bll1ties. By it farm produce can
move directly from country producer
to city consumer; city purchases can
move directly to country consumer:
village stores can serve their farm
trade directly and without delay.
In Europe country people establish
postal trade routes, and regularly ad-
vertise their poultry, dairy products
and garden and orchard truck for de-
livery over the post routes. That can
be done here, especially within the
inner zones-and it is within the short
distances the bulk of such traffic will
move regardless Of rate extensions.
The express companies cannot
smile the law out of existence.

Tom Hamlin editor of Labor Review of Minneapolis
biting under the timely rebuke administered to him by
The Labor World and the Minnesota Union Advocate Of
st. Paul. for his treachery to the American Trade Union
movement attempts divert the issue by leading his
readers to believe he made the victim of 'vile
epthets' from the "prvately owned labor papers,
of the courage he displayed in exposng them
Mr.. Hamlin editorially states that 'the Minnesota
Union Advocate, The Labor World and 1.-THE Labor
Digest of Minneapolis columns space against
Labor Reviews defense of the rank and fe' of
gained labor Well admit that the two first bonafde
trade union papers did give Mr.. Hamn scoring, such
he richly deserved and his meek and evasive reply
would indicate that the scoring had its effect.
However, when he attempts to take refuge behind
the statement that 'The Labor Digest" devoted any
of it's space against him his publication he merely
did to appeal certain weknown prejudices among
his readers. There is not single word in the
rent issue of "The Labor Digest relating Labor
Reviews treachery to the labor movement. Why
then, did Tom Hamlin say that 1.-THE Labor Digest
devoted columns of space against Labor Reviews
defense G? of the rank and file of organized labor?
Oh no, THE Labor Digest" could not consistently
take issue with Editor Hamlin whose attack upon the
trade unions under the pretense that he striking

associations.
Now this is challenge to Tom Hamlin, editor of
Labor Review If you have anything on the editor of
any labor paper in Minnesota, if know of the
corruption of any labor leader, don't beat
bush but out like and tell what you know
you as good friend to the frank and fle'' as
you pretend to be, for their sake do not take the
towards course and resort to innuendo, but state
specifically who is corrupt and wherein corruption
any form of wrong doing, is being practiced.
Now this is challenge to you. If you make
good, is your time. If you can not then be

have the goods In any event, Tom Hamlin, it is up
you. Let see what you can do. Just give US a

COST OF woRK1NGMEN's COMPENSATION.

The Minnesota legislature is about to grapple with
the great problem Of workngmens compensation. The
main obstacle beyond the constitutional questions,
the passage of just and adequate compensation act
is presented by the employers who fear the additional
cost to them of carrying insurance Hereunder.
Some very interesting data is furnished by the
Blue book recently issued from the Bureau of Labor
of the British government The Blue book gives the
statistics of compensation and of proceedings under the
workngmens compensation act during the past year.
Inc returns have been gathered from the seven
great groups Of industries quarries railways
factories, harbors and DOCKS works and
shipping These industries embraced 134,S2O employers
and more than 100000 employees who within the
provisions Of the workmen's compensation act.
Compensation was paid in these Industries to 1913
cases Of death and 378,340 disablement The
average payment when death resulted was $744, and
in of disablement, $27
Taking the industries together, the annual charge
for compensation averaged $1.86 for person en-
ployed In the coal mining industry the annual charge
for compensation worked out at about 10 cents per
ton of coal raised.
The compensation paid in the industries enumerated
aggregated $13,141,131, compared with $11,O67579
in the preceding year. When the cost of management
and other included the total charge or
expense cost upon the industries enumerated in
the report aggregated about $19,46e,o00.
In these figures included, in addition to acct
dents cases of the Industrial Diseases "a in num-
compensation
Compensation paid in sc cases of death from
disease and in 4438 of disabemen from disease
OF the cases originating in industrial Diseases s.
occurred in the mining industry, and due prin-
cpally to nystagmus, bent hand bent knee and bent
elbow Of the remaining 519 were attributed to
lead poisoning.
SO general now the claims made under the
workmens compensation act that there only PIT
cases which the courts only 217 cases which the
courts called to pass upon under the EMPLOYERS
liability act.
Surely the above figures not startling to Mnne-
sofa employers Neither the railroads nor the steel
trust in Minnesota carry employers liability insurance.
Some of the Independent mining companies carry their
own insurance. OF the employers of labor in this
state carrying casualty insurance there was paid by
them during the 1911 to the employers liability
companies licensed to do business in Minnesota, a
sum closely approaching $1,000, 900.
we are morally certain that with all the elements
of waste which obtain under employers liability
completely eliminated this amount of money would
annually provide for the payment of compensation
to every man injured at his occupation the state

UNION SHOP, NOT CLOSED SHOP.

One OF the common errors committed by some very
we'll meaning trade that of using tmproper
terms in discussing activities of unions The term
closed shop is frequently used, but is misnomer
from a trade union standpoint.
The American Federation of Labor stands for the
union shop, not the "closed shop" The only closed
shops to be found the shops that are closed to
union men.
Union men do not ''close" union shops The doors
OF unions are always open TO all who are eligible
Any one discussing the ethics of labor unions doubt
desires to use the Technology discussion
The t:closed shop is not synonymous term with
the union Shop although used by many writer's to
convey similar meaning.
The term union shop" and not "closed shop" should
be applied to all shops where union men are EMPLOYED
