the |. w. w.

The l. W. w. organizers in Everett
are laughing at the Herald, which is
forever footing the capitalist whistle
and lieing about socialism. By getting
hold of verdant and gullible reporter
they were able to fill him with story
of an organization to fight the I. w. w.
and he filled the paper with boost
for the meeting. The meeting boosted
by the Herald proved to be a success
full I. w. w. gathering in which plans
were made for an active campaign in
Everett.
This easily bamboozled sheet is
filled with about as much truth as the
devils textbook OH religion. The
habit of printing false real estate
boosts and Misrepresentation of the
working class has made it an easy vic
tim of fake information of all kinds.
It is rumored that the reporter who
fell for the story has already been
called "on the carpet"

Throughout the land who make their

the hands of the manufacturer till

sumer.
Do you realize the great Importance
of the lumber industry? Do you know
that a man as we'll informed as Con-
gresham Humphrey has placed the
lumber industry as the second in this
country considering the number of
men employed? Certain it is that,
excepting farming and transportation,
no industry in the United States en-
ploys as great a number of men as
does the lumber industry.
In the Pacific Northwest the lum-
Der industry takes first place. Most
of the readers of this series of articles
live in this territory. For this rea-
son anything mentioned here pertains
to the Northwest unless otherwise
stated.
Nearly all of the 25O,O0O men are
unorganized. They are helpless in the
hands of their employers. They have
less power than if they were but ESQ
and organized.
All of the power contained in this
great mass of workers is held by a
small group of about $500 shingle
weavers. They control SOMETHING.
All the rest control NOTHING.
The fact remains that a quarter of
a million workers in the Pacific North
west are utterly helpless in the hands

MEXICO AND IT'S REVOLUTION

The following is translated from an
article sent from Coruna, Spain, un-
der date of September 80, 1912, by
J. f. Moncaleano, who was editor of
La Luz" Mexico City, and was ex-
PEELED recently from Mexico. 1t is
entitled to special weight because Mr.,
Moncaleano visited Mexico with the
express intention of discovering, for
himself and Spanish comrades, the
real truth as to the Mexican revolu-
ton, opinions in his home country
being somewhat divided. Having sat
isfled himself he started a revolution
airy paper in Mexico City. 1t was sup
pressed almost Immediately, he and
his assistants were thrown into prison
and ultimately he was banished. Hav-
ing explained that his main anxiety
was to get at the facts, in order that
the revolutionary movement might
not be deceived, he continues:
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1913-01-10

There are 10000 men employed in
the lumber industry in the state of
Washington. Ex-senator Sam Piles
has given these as correct figdres. The
late Congressman Cushman used the
same figure. Congressman Hum
phrey has corroborated them. They
all are or have been close to the lum-
Der interests of the Evergreen State.
About half this number, or about
$4,000, are working in Oregon's forests
and mills. At least $4,000 more are
engaged in California redwood region
while no less than 10000 are en-
ployed in the pine forests of Idaho
and Montana. If the number of men
employed in the lumber industry of
British Columbia be estimated at 20
OO0-and this is undoubtedly alto
gether too small an estimate-the fig
ures for the Pacific Northwest would
be conservatively placed at 100000
quarter Of a million men.
Multiply this number by six and
the result will approximate the num-
Der of men engaged in this industry
in the United States. One million
