UNEMPLOYED
TN SPOKANE
ASK CITY COUNCIL TO AP-
PRoPRIATE $1O,OOO-LoCAL
IMPR OVEMENT WORK
COULD BE DONE AND RE
LIEVE SITUATION
Especial Correspondence

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 29.-By roll
call of the Spokane Sectional Central
Labor Council Monday night, practi.
cally 40 per cent of the members Of
organized labor in Spokane are shown
to be without employment at this time
The unions have been fairly able to
provide for all cases of actual distress
among their members. Not so with
unorganized and itinerant workers,
among whom there has been great
privation and distress,
Feeling that this situation could be
considerably relieved by the city hav-
ing some of the local improvement
work which will have to be done dur
ing the coming year commenced at
this time, a committee from the cen
tral body appeared before the city
commissioners today and urged that
this action be taken at once Former
City Commissioner D. c. Coates ac-
companied the committee and address
ed the council at considerable length
on the local unemployment situation.
He urged that an immediate appro-
priation of $4,000 be made for the
purpose Of furnishing work for all
heads of families suffering from un-
employment, this work to be done on
local streets and roads.
The city council after hearing the
committee, instructed the commits
sioner of public works to make an in
vestigation and report on what work
can be done at this time; also to re-
port on methods for distributing the
work where it will do the most good.
A so-called Christian Home is car
ing for about 200 itinerant workers on
the usual charity basis Much fault
is being found with the methods of
this institution as it is being conduct
ed in a way that where men are put
out to work they really displace other
men who were drawing a better rate
Of pay. Local unionists will interest
themselves in organizing a local of
the Ttinerant Workers Union as the
best means of solving this problem.
An organizer is expected here from
the coast to take up this work at an
early date.

of Labor. Geo. Burns, of the Willapa
Harbor Trades Council as a fraternal
delegate to the Oregon State Fedora
tion of Labor, and Jos. Hoskins, of
the Ronald Mine Workers, to the B.
c. Federation of Labor.
The abolishment of employment of
fices and first aid to injured workmen
received a great deal of consideration
at the hands of the convention.
]. G. Brown, president of the Tim
Der Workers, spoke on the abolish
ment of the employment agencies, de-
nouncing the system as a graft upon
the laboring man which was fostered
by the lumber interests.
John H. Wallace, senior member of
the industrial insurance commission,
spoke at length on the first aid clause
and declared that the greater the burd-
en- upon the employer was made by the
compensation act, the sooner would
they make greater effort to safeguard
the lives of their employees.
He gave statistics showing the loss
of life and injury sustained in the in
dustrial occupations of the state dur
ing the last two years and the
amount expended in compensation by
the state. He declared that the rates
would become higher and that the
only recourse to employers would be
to make employment safer. Mr.. wal
lace charged the other members of
the commission WIFI all dlISlllpt "
emasculate the law and that notwith-
standing many complaints made, he
was powerless to act At the conclu-
sion of his remarks on motion a COM

compensation law and was given such
an ovation as is seldom accorded a
public official addressing a labor con-
vention. His straight forward address
upon the working of the compensation
law his avowed realization of respon-
sibility to labor for his actions as a
member of the commission, touched a
responsive chord and, when later, he
was mentioned by Grant Hamilton
and other speakers as likely timber
for congress the idea took bold at
once.
The perfect understanding existing
between the officers of State Fedora
ton and farmers organizations was
evident in the joint program submitted
to the convention for approval. The
list of measures tentatively agreed
upon prior to the convention for ini-
tiative effort was submitted to the con-
vention and ratified without a dis
senting vote. A systematic campaign
for signatures for these measures and
placing before the voters necessary
information will be carried on from a
state headquarters established in Sc
attic which will be under the direction
of the Joint Legislative league. Trade
unions and farmers organizations will
be thoroughly organized to carry on
systematic campaign. The Labor
Journal, beginning with next weeks
issue, will print one bill in full in each
issue and explain it's provisions and
meaning.
Representative Kingery's universal
eight hour bill was endorsed by the
convention and the work of securing
signatures to the petitions will be par
ticipated in by the unions generally.
The determination of the timber work
ers to secure the eight hour day in
that industry was before the conven-
ton and approval given. President
Marsh was instructed by the conven-
ton to devote as much of his time as
he found possible to the work of or
ganizing the timber workers during
the next ninety days.
With changes in but three districts
the entire personnel of the executive
board from president down was re-
elected without opposition. The mat
ter of choosing officers of the fedora
ton by referendum vote rather than
in convention was left in the hands of
the president to appoint a committee
of seven to thoroughly investigate dur
ing the year and report to the next
convention some workable referendum
plan of election,
All officers were elected unanimous
with the one exception of the delegate
to the American Federation of Labor
which demanded roll call vote.
Those elected were as follows:
President, f. p Marsh of Everett
reelected; secretary and treasurer
Charles Perry Taylor, of Tacoma, re
elected, and vice presidents for the

The discussion e'icited many facts re- garding child labor. one of which was that in Norwich the laws regarding it have been violated.
