Everett Trades Council this year will
run a big excursion on the steamer
Chippewa through the beautiful San
Juan islands to East Sound on Orcas
island This is one of the most beau
tiful water trips on Puget Sound and
one, once taken, never to be forgotten.
There are excellent picnic and bathing
facilities and excursionists should take
we'll filled baskets. Several hours will
be spent on the island, returning to
Everett about ten in the evening.
Those planning to go on this trip will,
if they are wise, buy their tickets at
once as the capacity of the boat is
limited to twelve hundred and gov

JUMP FOR A LIVING.
Curious Form of Child Labor In the
Enuish Pottery Region.

From the English midlands comes
the report of still existing and re-
markable form Of child labor. 1t is
mentioned by DR.. A. A. Hill of Tun-
stall, Staffordshire, in the report of the
chief inspector Of factories and work
shops for 1918. Describing the work
Of children, who. working as handle
makers, earn living in the potteries
by jumping, he says:
Small and understood boys and girls
are usually engaged as handle makers
in fact, many have to reach the work
bench by standing on boxes or stools.
The strip of clay for the handle is
placed in the hollow space between the
halves Of the mold, which is then put
on the edge of the bench, and the
young worker, making short spring
or jump, presses with the full weight
of his body upon the top Of the mold,
repeating this process $50 to 200 times
per hour.
Great pain and tenderness" DR.. Hill
adds, "are thus induced, and many
young workers have to give up the oc-
cupation on account Of their suffering,
which could easily be prevented by a
little thought"

BRIEF REMARKS ON THE
LIFE OF CLINE AND
RANGEL.

Cline, who is an American, has been
an active member of the labor move
ment for years, having been a mem
Der of the Hotel and Restaurant EN-
ployes Union, member of the Inter
national Slate and Tile Workers Union
and a member of the National Indus
trial Union of Forest and Timberwork-
ers. and while a member of these
various unions has participated in six
labor struggles and is cordially hated
by the employing class for his ardent
support of the working class. Rangel
is also an effective worker for the
cause of labor and is very valuable by
reason of his being able to speak and
write fluently both the English and
Spanish languages. On two or three
different instances he served prison
sentences for alleged violation of the
neutrality law and pretext alone was
needed for the seizure of these men
ana their twelve comrades as the en-
blowing class was so anxious to get
rid Of them.

FAVOR CHILD LABOR BILL.
Many Organizations Working For
Measure Before Congress.

The house committee on labor has
voted to report favorably, with certain
minor amendments, on the Palmer
Owen bill prohibiting interstate com
merce in the products of child labor.
This measure is said to be the most
effective child labor bill ever presented
to congress. 1t prohibits the shipping
in interstate commerce of goods in the
production of which children under
fourteen have been employed in fac
tories, or under sixteen in mines or
quarries. or in the production of which
children under sixteen have worked
more than eight hours a day.
The national child labor committee
and many other organizations, among
them the American Medical associa-
ton, are working for the measure.

INDUSTRIES AWFUL TOLL.
Its Appalling Magnitude Just Begin
ming to Be Appreciated.


Since the workmen's compensation
law went into effect on July l more
than 1900 accidents have been re-
ported and claims to compensation
filed. They are now coming in at the
rate of over 1000 Il day, says the New
York World.
These are figures that will be apt to
strike most observers with something
like dismay. They seem to be of
magnitude calculated to overwhelm the
resources for compensation before the
new system is year old.
But they are open to no such inter
probation. Many of the accidents re-
ported will be found to come from en-
Payments not covered by the law. A
great many more will be found too
slight to claim compensation under the
requirement of disability extending be-
yond two weeks. Only about 30 per
cent OF the claims will prove to be
valid. according to present calculations.
What the figures do emphasize is the
great toll of life and limb eXacted in
our modern mechanical industries. 1t
existed before this law, but we saw ii
dimlv in scattered reports and suits fur
damages. 1t exists now. and we see 1t
all clearly in figures which are comrrr-
henHive of the state. The cost was
before uncertain and uniuStiY diStlln-
uted. 1t is no greater now. but It
has been made calculabIe and the m@ia
burden of it shifted from the Worlmen
to the whole industrial society.
Whether society will bear this bur-
den patiently is matter which is yet
to be determined.
What the laundryncn are said TO he
doing to recover the expense to which
they have been put by the compenSa-
ton law is what most employers Will
do presently. TO pass IA charge along to
the public is Il simple matter. Ghe
worst of it is that the increase in prices
will be much larger than the outlay
which it is designed to cover.
The simplest of all lessons in political
economy is the one that many people
never learn. A small tax may rest
lightly upon the one who pays it, but
by the time it reaches the consumer it
is a tax Of appreciate size A cent or
a fraction of a cent at the beginning
becomes an excuse for nickel or a
dime later on. Everything Of this kind
is passed on. so that as the complex
ties of government increase the cost of
living arises in a much greater ratio.
The fact that public regulation often
ends with the imposition of tax ac-
counts for a good many failures of re-
form which are not otherwise ex-
planned.
Already in cases where employers
cannot see their way clear to passing
the tax along they have begun to dis
eliminate against married men. If such
discrimination is permitted there will
soon be new economic problem in in
dustry so serious that it will affect the
whole public welfare.
There is nothing easier than to talk
about ''social justice" in platforms and
in stump speeches. There is nothing
more difficult in government than to
administer any kind of justice. social or
otherwise. In the case of the work
mems compensation law nothing will
do more to reconcile the public to new
burdens than the appalling statistics Of
industrial death and mutilation which
are now presented for the first time in
concrete form.

"My Dear Madam:
"Your communication of August 10,
1914, received Your request that I
pledge myself now in writing to sup
port and vote for the submission to
vote of the people the amendment set
out in your communication; this
amendment to be voted upon with
only such changes as may be accept
able to the Joint Legislative Commit
tee.
81 consider that your committee or
any other body of citizens has the
right to demand in advance a state
ment of position and views from can
didates but further than that I cannot
go. For candidate to absolutely bind
himself to a fixed program in all de-
tails is, I believe, contrary to our rep
resentative form of government. A
representative is elected to serve all
the people and also to exercise his
own judgment in disposing of the
problems that may come before the
legislature This he cannot do if in
order to secure election he has signed
away and surrendered his right on
certain questions to do anything but
the bidding of those to whom he has
pledged himself
Your action is being taken IN a
very worthy cause which makes it the
harder to refuse to comply with your
request. You will admit that should
I or any other candidate pledge to
some cause hostile to you that you
would complain and have just cause
to do so. In an event of that nature
it would be your privilege and duty to
publish such fact as evidence that we
were unfit to represent the whole peo-
pie.
Gas I said before you are entitled
to know how I stand on the question
submitted. One of the planks of the
Progressive party platform, adopted
at the state convention of that party
in Seattle, September 10, 1912, calls
for the submission of an amendment
to the state constitution such as you
now have under consideration. AS
candidate for nomination on the Pro-
gressive ticket subscribe to the Pro-
gressive party platform. I believe
that an easier and better method of
amending our constitution should be
provided and that some such method
as you propose should be submitted to
vote of the people. However, in &C.
cordance with my position as out
lined above I cannot subscribe to
