The speakers principal objection to

The revised fish code bill attacks
my particular industry said the
speaker, and one of his strong argu-
ments against it is that the four great
packing concerns on the Pacific coast
are owned by the meat trust. "If this
measure becomes law there will not
be n cannery left in Washington
they will all be removed to Oregon or
British Columbia. 1t would bring a
tax of $1,SO0,OO0 and who is going to
pay the bill-if it can be paid?"
Mr. Sims sees this niger in the
wodopile" of the bill abolishing the
state tax commission: 1T would make
the much abused public service cor
porations, and especially the railroads,
pay more taXes!"
Mr.. Sims sees in the proposed state
wide eight-hour law the coming of an
other great calamity, when someone
will have to pay tax of % to 80 per
cent. If this state gets the law, in
dustries here will be mill until other |
states are in the same predicament."
he said who's going to pay the bill? /
Take the case of the poor old sucker |
farmer who is standing behind this
Dill--it will make him lose thousands

In conclusion, the speaker urged
hat his hearers-most of them EN-
Dlyoers give the bills careful consid-
ration for they are going to cost you
money Times are hard and this is
he costiest way of getting laws en-
lcted."
All in all, Mr.. Sims meetings was
failure and his audience left without
moving any more of the bills than
hey did before going.

The principal objection to the "Sev

by opponents as voiced by Hon +. A
Sims of jefferson county in an ad
dress at the Commercial club Friday
night, is the great expense necessary
to get them on the ballot This eX-
peuse, he estimates, will add at least
$2,O00000 to the already too heavy
load carried by taxpayers of the state.
Mr. Sims is more or less eloquent
calamity bowler and advocate of pub
lie economy But he neglected
to inform his small audience how and
why the particular defects he pointed
out were permitted to be attached to
the bills

We credit you, governor, with a
law worked out in such a manner as
to reduce the preventible accidents in
this state. 1t is the workers who fur
! nish the victims of industrial acct
dents, not the employers, and there
have been far too many of them in this
state as the records compiled by the
commission will testify If compensa-
ton means only the payment of small
awards for accidents, we do not care
how soon the law is repealed. We
want accident prevention more than
we want compensation.
We regret exceedingly that you
have seen fit to remove Mr.. Wallace,
after he has served us well and faith
fully ever since the creation of the
commission and throughout sixteen
months of your own term of office.
We credit you with sincerity in the
matter of wishing the best results
from the operation of the law but be-
lieve you have made a grave mistake
from the standpoint of real efficiency
in the working out of the humane prin.
ciple involved in the removal of a man
who understands that principle as do
few men in this state and who is
possessed of the courage of his convic-
ions.

by riding with the big fellows, are
asleep at the switch while we are try

very much mistaken We are not so
sure that they are not working harder
to defeat our initiative program than
We are to win success with it, Nor
are the resources of our friends, the

have plenty of funds, daily papers
with large circulation in which to pub
lish their argument, trained newspa-

dress a story, to do their bidding And
all of their resources are being worked

Esteemed Sir-Everett Local No. .
OF TimberwOrkers, comprising ten
hundred and ninety shingle weavers
and sawmill workers, views with re-
greet your recent action in removing
from the industrial insurance commits
sion John H. Wallace. labor repre-
sentative thereon. You stated in your
letter of dismissal that friction had
developed upon the commission be-
tween Mr.. Wallace and the other mem
bers which made it necessary in the
interest of harmony to remove Messrs.
Ernst and Daggett or Mr.. Wallace;
that you were convinced that Mr.. Wal
lace was at fault and was the disturb
ing element upon the commission.
You are entitled to know our views
upon this mater. We do not believe
there is man in this state who under
stands the fundamental principles bet
ter than does MI Wallace. nor who
has been more active in defense of
the basic principle of workmen's COM
pensation. Mr.. Wallace has never
failed within our knowledge to uphold
the Law in its intent. II he has, how
ever, pointed out its weaknesses, it's

protection to workmen, that was his
duty and had he failed to do that, he
would have been unworthy place
upon the commission.
The members OF this union look
upon that law as being a measure de-
signed to furnish protection to the in
jured workman and his dependents in
line with the modern theory that in
dusrty should take care of its acct
dent cost. and was not designed to
give the employer cheap insurance.
If Mr.. Wallace is criticised by your
administration because he has cham
pioned, publicly and privately, an ade-
quate first aid" amendment, then let
us say that in our humble opinion he
has been unjustly criticised This
union believes the locals have been
twice duped by the employers in the
matter of amending the law to pro-
vide first aid" and further believes
that the members OF the industrial
commission must know that fact and
are not doing their duty if they do not
discuss that feature with the men who
are most vitality interested, ie., the
workers themselves.
1t has been publicly stated that you
demanded of Mr. Wallace that he ex.
plain in a letter to you what he meant
when, at the Raymond convention of
the State Federation of Labor, he
claimed that the other members of
the commission were "emasculating
the law" You stated, in effect, that
after reading Mr.. Wallace's reply and
letters from the other members in an.
swer to your request for statements,
that Wallace was in the wrong and
the other commissioners in the right.
VIII you give to the public press the
letter from Mr.. Wallace to you that

first two bills having the greatest APP
parent merit, the employment agency
bin and the first aid law There were
many points in connection with these
two which enabled him to rouse the
sympathies of his audience by painting
poor working men who had been
robbed by employment agents and
other poor working men minus arms,
legs. etc" You who have contributed
some of those arms and legs, or the
wives and mothers who have had the
remains of their husbands and sons
brought home to them from mine and
factory, will appreciate the subtle
humor of the quotation above.
For my own part I wouldn't help
to advertise this league but for the
necessity Of showing you that the OPP
position is on the job and intends if it
can to prevent these measures from
finding a place upon the ballot. The
high-handed manner in which the In
dustrial combines of this state nave

in plain terms that that contempt
