The Difference Between The international Union Of
Shingle WeaverS, Saw Mill Workers and WOodsmen
and The Industrial Workers Of the World.

ously small compared with the unor-
ganized lumber workers, they would
have taken such a suicidal step?
Such a thing seems very improbable.
In any event, if they had been con-
suited in the matter they would have
had a more intimate knowledge as to
what the issue was and should be.
This, in turn, would have enabled
them to act in greater harmony and
unison and thus, with greater assur-
ance of victory.
The point brought out in this illus
tration, the difference between bure-
aucratic administration and demo-
cratic administration, is the most vital
difference between the I. w. w. and
the l. U. of S. W. S. w. and w.
These differences point to the rea-
son why the shingle weavers have
been able to Withstand the merciless
onslaught of the lumber barrons,
while the loggers met with miserable
defeat
The difference between these two
organizations so far as achievements
are concerned are all in favor of the
I. U. of S. w. S. w. and w. 1t marks
the difference between the workers
who fight as they learn to fight, and
the workers who fight as they are
told to fight.
We expect that the I. w. w. will
endeavor to disprove these deduc-
tions made from actual living history
events that have occurred right under
our own noses. They will, no doubt,
cite what they are doing across the
continent. What concerns us most is
what they are doing on this side of
the continent, and in the Puget Sound
country in particular. They may try
to disprove our assertions by referring
to their constitution. But prudent
men will bear in mind that the con-
stitution as it is enforced, the living
constitution, is of greater Importance
than the constitution as it is written.
Achievements are what count, and
in turn, this accounts for the great in
flux of former members of the l. w
W. into the l. u. of S. w. S. w. of w.
The l. U. of S. w. S. w. and w. has,
within the last ten days, brought more
men within its fold than has the I.
W. w. with it's seven years of unmo-
Tested effort. In Snohomish county
alone the writer has secured approx

can be said of every numbering center

REPRESENTATIVE oVERMAN
Union Printer Legislator From
Snohomish Makes Good
Especial Correspondence


OLYMPIA, Wash, March 12-
Representative Fred Overmon, of Ev-
erett, who is one of the Snohomish
county members of the house, is a
prominent member of the typographi-
cal union, and has shown his union
training in his work as a law maker
Fred has a thorough understanding Of
the labor problem, and is man who
has the courage of his convictions,
something that he has shown in every
vote and action that he has recorded
in the house. 1t would be we'll If
the house of representatives had
more men like him. While he has
taken keen interest in all matters
that have been brought to the atten-
ton of the legislature, he has paid
particular attention to two bills that
have for their purpose the curbing Of
the employment agency evils. That
these bills have not become law Is
no fault of Fred's, but rather due to
the opposition of the large employing
class of the state which has had abso-
lutte control of the machinery of the
house, blocking all legislation in the
interest of the people. The first meas
ure introduced was a bill signed by
both himself and Representative A.
M. Bryant of Pierce county. This
bill provided for the establishment
of system of state free employment
offices under the jurisdiction of the
state commissioner of labor. The
second bill on the subject of employ
ment agencies he alone stood sponsor
for, and it proposed that it should be
unlawful for a private employment
agency to charge the worker a fee for
securing him employment Both oi
these bills should have been enacted
into law. Labor will be back In
Olympia two years from now to fight
for the enactment of these measures
and 1t is to be trusted that there will
be many more legislators like Fred
Overman here at that time to fight
for their adoption. In the meantime
union men can help along the good
fight by inculating into the minds o.
their fellow members the necessity o.
voting for good union men to come t.

Qulto's Water Porters.

Around fountain in one Of the
principal! squares Of Quito assemble
every morning the city's aquadores,
These water porters differ from the
less energetic ones Of some South
American cities in carrying their Jars
upon their back instead Of on the
backs of mules Their earthen Jars
are deep, have a wide mouth, and
hold about forty liters.
The porter carries 1t on his shoul-
der fastened with leather straps. He
never detaches himself from his jar
either to fill 1t or to transfer its con-
tents to that Of his customer.
He turns his back to the fountain
80 that the jar comes under one OF
the Jets OF water, listens to the sound
of the water in the Jar, and his ear
Is so we'll trained that he always
walks away at the exact moment
when it is filed to the brim.
Arriving at the house OF a Gus
toner, he goes to the household jar,
makes a deep bow. and disappears
behind a torrent Of water. Foreign
ers can never receive without laugh
ing the visit of their aguador, the
respectful little man who bows to
one behind q cataract Of water.-Ex'

AUTOS VALUE IN WARFARE
Recent Maneuvers Have Shown That
1t Is a Power That Must Be
Reckoned With.

In the interesting presidential ad-
dress before the Institution of Auto
mobile Engineers. at London, T. B.
Browne stated that in the recent army
maneuvers held on a large scale in
this country the automobile proved
itself of the greatest advantage. The
invaders and defenders. each consist
ing of one cavalry division and two
infantry divisions, were furnished
with approximately 10 petrol vehicles
and Sc steam vehicles. which, working
in conjunction with the railways. un-
dertook the whole of the supplies to
the armies. Where roads are avail
able the gain by the use of automo-
biles over horses for this purpose IS
enormous, as it can easily be seen
that where the latter cover 40 miles
in two days the same distance would
be covered in four hours by the for
mer. 1t takes four motor lorries to
carry one days supplies for brigade
OF about 1000 men. and each lorry
takes a three-ton load, which Is equiv
alent to three horse wagons. More
over, the motor vehicles take up only
two-thirds Of the road space required
for the horse vehicles.

Rubber Trees IN Hawaii.

It has been known that the rubber
tree grows in Hawaii, but 1t has not
been cultivated commercially. A new
and valuable industry Is likely tc de-
yelop from the reported discovery that
5000 acres Of native rubber forest ly-
ing on the Kona Kohala side OF Mauna
Kea's slopes yield rubber Of good quail
ity. The forest, which lies at a height
of from 1000 to 5000 feet, and which
Is somewhat inaccessible, being above
the lava flow Of 1901. Is on government
land, and the question has already
arisen whether the lessee for grazing
purposes has the right Of tapping the
trees. II the opinion Of experts as to
the quality Of the rubber is confirmed
this will prove a valuable find. but a
somewhat extended test Is needed, for
Mr.. Rock, territorial botanist OF the
College Of Hawaii, says that this spe-
cies is found nowhere else in the
world.

In trying to make the year 1913

we are unkind. We ought to obey
our parents and do as they command.

A Good Record.

But one passenger was killed by
the railroads in South Carolina in
1912, according to the report of the
State Railroad commission, which has
just been made public. This is a
marked improvement over former
years and is taken by the Commits
sion to indicate that the physical con-
dition of the railroads has been i'm
proved greatly. There were not
nearly so many wrecks or other kinds
of accidents during the year. 1t is
gratifying to note the great i'm
provement along this line in the
State, and it is believed that the time
is not far distant when the dangers
of travelling will be reduced to a
minimum.
