What's the matter here? We
thought that all we would have to do
to bring prosperity back to the state

what the large employing interests
told us? Something like that, any
how. And now comes the news that
the lumber and shingle market is in
precarious condition. Mills are
closing for an indefinite period and
more threaten to close. The problem
of dealing with the unemployed is al
ready acute in every coast city and

administrations are holding confer
ences to plan for tiding through the

A. F. OF L. CONVENTION DE-
CLARES FOR EIGHT HOUR
DAY BY LEGISLATION
Washington State Delegates Put Up
Fight for Endorsement of Shorter
Workday by Statute Enact
nent and Win.

Washington delegates to the con-
vention yesterday won their fight to
secure Endorsement by the convention
of eight-hour legislation in the various
states. A resolution introduced by J.
A. Taylor, of the Seattle machinists'
union; j. G. Brown, of the Interna-
tional Timberworkers, and Harley L.
Hughes, of Spokane, delegates from
the Washington State Federation of
Labor, was adopted.
The adoption of this resolution is a
reiteration Of declarations made at the
Seattle convention Because of the
fact that the testimony of President
Samuel Gompers before the federal
industrial relations committee, in
which he is alleged to have declared
his opposition to general eight-hour
day legislation for adult males, was
used extensively to defeat initiative
measures in Washington, Oregon and
California, delegates from the Pacific
coast united in demanding that the po-
sition of the federation with regard
this reform be made clear The
adoption of the resolution is regarded
as a distinct victory for the Pacific
coast delegates.

BOOST FRIENDS AND

Every time you get chance to
boost your friends, do it. When
boosting your friends means at the
same time hammering your enemies
then there is double reason for action.
This brings us to a consideration
of the case of our friend Gum, the
Golden Grain Granules" man. Gum
has been a staunch advocate of union
labor for many years. For long
time the owner of one of the largest
grocery stores in Tacoma, ha was of
the forefront for early closing and
for the organization of the grocery
clerks, going so far as to carry ban.

of the Post outfit at Battle Greek.

THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THESE
RESULTS WITH NO OTHER MACHINERY
EXCEPT THEIR ECONOMIC ORGANIZA-
TION-THEIR FEDERATION.


AS individuals, workers are unable to secure
any consideration from employers, law-making
bodies, or other government agencies, but by
means Of their organization for economic pur-
poses the workers take their rightful positions
as the most powerful, the most influential ele-
ment in society
For this reason the A. F. of L. has during
the past year extended its plans and efforts
for organization.
The special work has been among the I'M
skilled and the women workers.
Organization is like a structure-it must rest
upon firm, solid foundation to be of service
Practical operations proceed along the lines
Of least resistance the initial effort is directed
against strategic points.
When these are organized operations are ex-
tended to the associated opportunities.
There is nothing spectacular or extraordin-
airy, yet it attains results that last
Organization infuses into the industrial life
of community consideration for human well
fare. In time new conceptions Of the value
and the sacredness Of human life permeate the
industrial Organization and management and
extend out into the common life of the com
munity The little leaven Of humanity has
brought gentleness mercy, and justice into the
thoughts and manners of all the people
Labor organizations have been the most
potent force in democratizng humanity cul-
ture, and Justice, and thus bringing about a
cultural civilization that is expressed in the
daily thoughts and habits of Individuals
Economic organization is that upon which we
must concentrate our thought and effort
When economic organization is achieved, ev-
cry other good thing becomes possible for the
workers.
But because of the great power attached to
this agency, many other movements or forces
seek to destroy to use them. For this reason
the A. F. of l.. early adopted the policy of
avoiding entangling alliances. This policy has
been consistently pursued during all these
years But with great success and increased
growth comes additional power. Many and
tempting will be the avenues of activity and
the associations open to the A. F. of L. In
creasingly difficult will it be to distinguish the
things which are most important and vital for
the continuous development of the Federation
the things which make for life rather than
mere power. Ever must be held up the policy

Organization gives the workers freedom.
choice, individuality.
Organization enables them to protect them
selves, to solve their own difficulties and to
order their own lives.
With organization they can establish in in
dustry their own ideals of their own welfare
With organization they can do for them
selves without the assistance of benevolent
guardianship
Organization eliminates necessity for paternal
legislation by enabling employees and employers
to determine upon working conditions mutual

GOMPERS DEFENDS
POLICIES OF A. F. OF L.
If Foreigners Are Good Enough to Be
Brought Here Also Good Enough
to Be Organized.
BY C. D. STRATTON

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 13-Incens-
ed by the attack of Walter George
Smith, delegate of the Federation of
Catholic societies, upon the militant
activities of organized labor, Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, yesterday de-
1ivered from the floor of the conven-
ton a remarkable speech in defense
of labor's policies. The address is de-
clared to be the greatest convention
speech that Gompers has made in re-
cent years and it brought from the as
sembled delegates an ovation such as
has marked few of the federation's
gatherings.
The address of Smith SO aroused the
convention that tumult threatened and
hundreds of delegates rose from their
seats clamoring for recognition that
they might reply to Smiths attack.
Standing with upraised hand before
the impetuous delegates Gompers
quieted the impending revolt, and with
the voice which has championed Ia
boris cause for thirty years or more,
uttered a defense of labor militant
that brought the convention again to
its feet with ringing cheers of appro-
baton.
eve are here to voice the demands
30 tai1
for them the rights too long denied"
said Gompers. eve cannot always di-
rect their movements as some would
like. We cannot even choose our ma
terial We must handle our forces
as the majority demands, but if these
alien workers, which some affect to
despise, are good enough to be brought
here by capitalists seeking cheap Ia
Dor, they are good enough for us to
organize and educate to a higher
standard of citizenship.
1--WE aim to deserve the good will of
our fellows, but we have seen misery
and degradation existing in industry
too long with no word Of protest from
the public. Only through the organic
ed labor movement can these that are
oppressed and trodden under the heel
OF capital be learned of their wrongs
and the way to right them.
Fight II Necessary.
"They are Pharisees who walk about
on the other side. Though personally
| am for peace there comes a time
when to remain tranquil merely forges
to greater strength the enthralling
chains of slavery. We try to avoid
strikes but we will fight if strikes are
forced upon us. The angel of peace
has not yet descended upon this
earth"
In the address which prompted the
memorable speech by Gompers, Smith,
scathingly denounced socialism and
expressed the hope that labor would
turn the other cheek to the enemies
that attack it. Radical delegates to
the convention were reused to great
est antagonism by the utterances of
Smith. Gompers took the play from
the radicals by answering Smith him
self and his stirring defense of labor's
policies has brought him into greater
popularity with the rank and file of
the convention delegates than any ac-
ton he has taken in recent years.
