WASHINGTON. September 10
Abandoning the proposed per cent
tax on freight transportation. which
had aroused considerable opposition.

recting the ways and means commit
tee to draft bill along these lines.
President Wilson having approved the
plan at a conference with Majority
Leader Underwood and Senator Sim
mons. The committee was also given
authority to revise the details of the
Spanish war tax in its discretion.
The proposal to levy a 3 per cent
war tax on freight prompted the
Washington public service commits
sion, with the approval of Governor
Lister, to send a protest against the
tax to the states congressional dele
CATION, declaring that a fat percent
age tax would place an undue burden
on a section already handicapped by
distance from it's markets and that
the effect would be entirely dispro-

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE DODGE =?
THAT'S \ QUESTION MANY ARE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
COMING SOON.
What is the Dodge car?


That is the question a good many
people around Olympia have been
asking for the last two or three
weeks, ever since the appearance of
the first Observation-Disclosures for
the Dodge"-and it's the same Dues
ton autoists and near-autoists all
ing ever since the first rumor went
circulating from one to another that
Dodge Brothers of Detroit were 60
ing into the automobile manufacture
ing business. So far the only bit of
information the gossipers have been
able to get is the company's recent
laconic announcement: Dodge
Brothes Of Detroit, who have made
the parts for more than 100000 auto
mobiles, will this fall market a car
under their own name"
So the automobile world is looking
forward to the detailed announce
ment with considerable interest. Sell
new company proposed to enter the
automobile business aroused so much
talk, but without giving any details
of their forthcoming car, Dodge
Brothers have already become one of
the big factors in the 1915 popular
price car market. Why?
Here's the Answer.
The answer lies in Dodge Brothers
wonderful factory in Detroit and their
powerful success as makers of auto
mobile parts. Think of a plant that
turns out $4,000 gears day, employ
ing some 5000 men, it's labor-saving
machinery the most extensive in the
business, it's plant worth from $2,-
100000 to 100000, and you can
get some idea of the business they
have been doing. Now they are en-
larging that plant-have been ever
since July, when their existing con-
tracts expired one new
building which alone has between
five and six acres of floor space while
the others have ten acres or more.
and it's whole energies will be direct
ed to the production of this new car.
Great steel cranes, one of which
can do the work of 80 men, aid this
plants productive powers, and these
are indicative Of its efficient organi-
cation and labor-saving devices. Re-
Gently an important Industrial trade
paper. studying factory internal
transportation. presented q table Of
equipment used in So plants that In
the general character Of their ma
chine work resembled the Dodge
plant and 1t was shown that the 81
plants use total Of 1853 push plat
for mtrucks. Dodge Brothers have
more than 5000 in use in their plant
alone.
Who il the Local Agent?
Much could be said about their
great factory and their previous large
production, but people are not 80
much interested in that as they are
in the specification Of the forth-com-
ing car. These will be offered soon,
80 the local agent says. Who he IL
he will tell you then, but he's hust-
Ter and you can bank on knowing all
about the car and the agent when the
right time comes.

OPPOSE PROHIBITION BILL
Organized LabOr's Executive Board
Urges Members to Fight Measure.

Claiming that initiative measure
No. 3, the statewide prohibition bill,
is not temperance measure and that
it would throw out of employment in
this state $500 union men, the legis-
lative committee of the State Fedora
ton of Labor this week unanimously
adopted resolutions opposing the pas
sage of the measure, according to an
article in the Seattle Times.
The resolutions were as follows:
Whereas, said initiative measure
No. 8 is not temperance measure
and involves no issue Of morals or
temperance, for by it's terms it pro-
vides that by the mere payment of q
twenty-five cent fee any man or
woman can secure permit and have
shipped to him or her from without
the state of Washington one-half gall
Ion of whisky or twelve quarts or
twenty-four pints of beer every twen-
ty days, an amount of liquor equal to
double the per capita consumption in
the United States, and which liquor
may be shipped into the home or else
where, and which last while permit
ting the shipment as aforesaid from
without the state of Washington, pro-
hibits the manufacture or sale of in
toxicating liquors within the state of
Washington, thereby depriving $500
men of the state of Washington OF
employment, and
Whereas, organized labor has al
ways stood together. and.
Whereas, the brewery workers,
drivers, bottlers, engineers, bartend-
ers, coopers, icemen. cigarmakers,
yardmen. federal laborers and cult
nary crafts, as organizations and as
individuals. have always aided other
unions in time of stress and have al
ways been a part of organized labor.
both within the state of Washington
and in the United States, and
Whereas, said act would put
$500 members of the aforesaid labor
unions out of employment and would
thereby weaken organized labor to
that extent, and
Whereas, nothing is offered or can
be offered to take the place Of the
employment by which this vast army
now earns a living for themselves and
families, and
Whereas. the state of Washington
today has a good and sufficient local
option law, by which the majority OF
the people in any given community
can regulate the liquor question ac-
cording to the wishes of that major
ity. Therefore be it
Resolved by the executive board
Of the State Federation of Labor of
the state of Washington, that said
measure is an act of unjust legisla-
ton against organized labor Of the
state of Washington, and we do here
by advise and request the various or
ganizations affiliated with the Wash
ington State Federation of Labor to
do all in their power to oppose and
defeat initiative measure No. 3, and
do advise and request it's members
that they vote against the act"
