made the subject of conferences be-
tween President Stevens Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and General Manager

The chief cause of complaint noted
by the clerks is their claim that the
company promised to reinstate all OF
the clerks, who walked out during the
recent strike, as fast as vacancies oc-
Cured in the office and that. although
several of the men have left recently,
only one of the clerks who struck has
been reinstated, the other places hav-
ing been filled with new men. 1t is
said that the other thirty eight or
thirty-nine men ara either idle or have
secured work elsewhere.
The company's alleged failure was
called to the attention of the Gem

But they all had the spirit of the

market of Seattle today is, to be
charitable and say the least no credit
to the state nor conducive to increas-
cd consumption of home manufacture
ed butter. If Dairymen's Co-opera-
tive Company handled its products
with the same ability and honesty as
the fruit growers association handle
theirs, or the grain growers handle
theirs, Washington creamery butter
would be in such demand and at such
prices as to stimulate all lines of the
dairy industry. The purchaser would
get what he was paying for and
entitled to, viz: grade of butter so
fine that neither California nor east
ern butter would appeal to him and
in few years by the very excellency
of it's quality, practically eliminated
the imported butter. The money now
sent out of the state would remain at
home to help develop the state and
it is my firm belief that in ten years
instead of being importers we would
be exporters of dairy products and
last and most important of all we
would by the constant increasing of
dairy herds steadily increase the fer
tility of our soil and leave to the
generation coming after us rich and
fertile commonwealth.

would it tend to undermine the pros

crease the potential food resources OF
the world.

DAIRYMEN FACE NEW CONDI-
TIONS.
We dairymen of Washington are
beginning to face new conditions.
California, owing to her extremely
mild climate, favorable to the rapid
growth OF alfalfa, the acreage of which
she is rapidly increasing is enabled
to produce butter at very low cost
and during the last ten years has
more than doubled her output, this
competition would have been felt far
more acutely save for the fact that
during the last two years high prices
for dairy products have prevailed in
the east and much of their surplus
has been diverted there. We can
reasonably expect to see this compet1-
ton become greater and greater and
must be prepared to meet it or be
eliminated for the law of unbampered
trade is memorable. We have the best
of the situation during the summer
months but their mild winters enables
them to dispense to a large extent
with expensive grain ratiOnS, thus
materially lessening the cost of pro-
duction. This competition I believe
can be successfully met in two ways,
viz: by increasing the producing ca
liabilities of our herds along the lines
have already indicated, and growing
roots, and oats and vetch for silage.
Our Western Washington lands will
grow as large. if not larger crops of
these than any other section. These
can IN a large measure take the place
of our grain ratiOns, and being cheap
er will assist in lessening the cost of
production.
NECESSITY OF BETTER ORGAN
ZAIlON.
now wish to call your attention
to matter that in my judgment is
of such Importance that all other
dairy questions are completely dwarf
ed and overshadowed by it, and
feel that [ would be derelict in my
duty ii did not call your attention
to it and most earnestly urge you
to give it your gravest consideration.
| allude to the necessity of organiza-
ton and cooperation in our business.
All other lines of business from the
very top to the bottom are organized
and their organizations have great
influence in not only securing just
and equitable laws for their members
but also in preventing the enactment
of unjust and pernicious ones. SO
utterly helpless are we to even defend
grocers association of our state at
their annual meeting a little more
than a year ago met and actually
dared to adopt resolutions to Con-
ress asking it to remove the tax on
colored oleomargarine, something If
done would paralyze the entire dairy
industry of the state. We need an
organization strong enough to protect
all ends of the dairy industry. We
want a cOoDarative mOVemant 60
