FROM THE SPOKANE LABOR
WORLD, JULY 8, 1914.

Senator ]. E. Campbell, of Everett,
is candidate for congress on the Bull
Moose ticket. Mr.. Campbell is a mem
Der of the Shingle Weavers' union, an
occupation he followed for many years,
and has been an active force in build
ing up the splendid organization of
that craft. Early in the history of the
organization he had charge of one of
the big strikes. At the same time he
was suffering from an injury to his
foot, as a result of which he lost his
leg just below the knee. In spite of
his physical suffering at the time,
Campbell took his very life in his
hands and kept right on with his
active work in connection with the
strike, saying that he could not leave
This is the kind of material that
Jack" Campbell has in him; the quail
tiles that have endeared him to all the
men and women of the entire labor
movement in the state. He has served
two terms in the house of representa-
tives of this state and is at present a
member of the state senate from Sno-
homish county. His record as a legis-
lator has been in keeping with his rec
ord in the labor movement-it has al
ways been effective and along the
right lines. He is a man who has
commanded respect among his fellow
Legislators at Olympia. He is the faith
er of our present eight-hour law for
women, and has had large part in
supporting all other labor and peoples
measures in the past three sessions of
the legislature. The people of his dis
trict could do no better than to elect
John f. Campbell to congress-the ma
ton needs men of his stamp in the ma
tional legislative body.

NO CUT IN WAGES IN EV
ERETT.

Everett Local No. 2, International
Union of Timberworkers, installed new
officers last Tuesday night and
squared away for the next terms work,
All reports indicate that the much her
aided reduction in wages of the shingle
weavers will not be attempted in Ev-
erett, local operators being satisfied
to pay the recognized union scale or
close when the margin of profit dis
appears rather than invite a strike or
lockout. Reports from around the
state show that scarcely any single
plants have attempted wage cut, de-
spite press reports that over hun
dred shingle manufacturers had agreed
to such a program. Perhaps it is
more than a coincidence that the
handful of manufacturers that loudly
advocated cutting the wages is the
same bunch that has fought the union
for years, regardless of market condi-
tions, the whole aim in life apparently
being to put the union out of commits
sion. The majority of manufacturers
realize that with the demand for a
better grade of singles to compete in
the market with the Canadian product,
highly skilled labor is vital necessity
and that this labor is mostly to be
found in the union ranks. Wage re-
duction could be of no lasting benefit
to the manufacturers. Decrease in
labor cost would be met by a decrease
in selling price and the decentralization
that would come to the working force
as result of whoresaIe walkouts
would put the industry in a much
worse predicament than it is at pres
ent A better grade of shingles and a
scientific curtailment of the output to
meet the demand, together with CO
operative selling agencies conducted
by the manufacturers, is the salvation
of the industry rather than wage re-
duction and the majority of the manu-
facturers are rapidly coming to that
view

UNION MEN OUT FOR CITY
POSITIONS.

Two prominent members of organ
lied labor are avowed candidates for
the positions vacted by Messrs. Thomp
son and Christianson. w. F. Melang

Bricklayers' Union and has a wide
acquaintance. He was candidate for
commissioner of public works at the
time the present charter was adopted
and has again entered the fight for
that position. From the standpoint of
practical experience he is as we'll quail.

young man but has an old head on
young shoulders. He is cool-headed,
resourceful and tenacious once he
makes up his mind to principle or
to a definite line of action. Everett
has been remarkably free from labor
troubles and much of the success of
the local union movement and the free
dom from petty difficulties as we'll as
serious disturbances, has been due to
his advice when wise counsel was
needed. He would make an ideal com
missioner of finance because of the
thoroughness with which he tackles
each problem that arises and his de-
termination to get to the bottom of
things.

theless, the moving Of the office from
Watertown to Redfeld, together with
all the paraphernalia belonging to the
state and federal government, was an
accomplishment in which Redfield
should take an active interest. We
have General Morris to thank for the
change.
But because the Office has been Sc
cured to Redfeld so easily is no guar
antee that it need be kept here. Wa
tertoWn Is putting up an awful howl
because Of its removal from Lake
Kampeska. Must General Morris re-
ceive the brunt of these attacks
alone? Certainly we should feel In
terested In keeping the headquarters
here and get behind the general in
his removal of the office and arsenal
to Redfeld.

now encamped near the city. Red
field needs their friendship, their ap-
probation. Redfeld should show the
officers that she is behind General
Morris and really is DESTROYS of keep
ing the office here. Lets do something

PROTECTION OF THE BIRDS.

Argus-Leader: A local observer
tells the Argus.Leader he counted
twenty-eight different species of birds
in one block in Sioux Falls and that In
fifteen minutes he saw a robin make
away with seven angleworms, five
| grub worms and two cut Worms--an
average of over fifty worms an hour!
| The federal law enacted for the
protection Of birds is being rigidly
enforced, and the result Is already q
very noticeable increase in the num-
Der of %songbirds. This will very soon
result in q corresponding decrease In
sects.
Some one has estimated that the
birds of the country are worth a bill.
lion dollars a year to the United
States in the crops they save, and
it is further declared that, without
the birds, the world would not be
long habitable, The present genera
ton, by discovering the diet of the
birds, has learned that they are a big
asset to the farmer and %orchardist
and garden owner, and hence have
come laws to protect them; better
yet. there has developed a public
sentiment for bird protection which
is fast spreading all over the land.
The boy of SO years ago counted 1t
no disgrace to rob a birds nest and
to destroy the eggs. Few boys of
this generation could be induced to
do such a thing. 1t isn't that the
boys of SO years ago were naturally
more incorrigible than those now but
simply that they had not been train.
ed to recognize the value of the bird.
Bird protection is a matter of educa-
ton. People now know how valuable
the bird is, and hence everybody from
the small boy up wants to see the
birds come and make themselves at
home; and as noted above, they are
coming.
Twenty-eight different varieties of
birds in one block! Compare this
with the almost birdless conditions
which prevailed here only one short
| generation ago.!

LABOR BOARD OPPOSED TO
WAR.

PASADENA, Cal, April 21-De-
as puerile the proposal to
wage war on Mexico, the Pasadena
board of labor is on record today as
urging working men to have no part
in such a war The board is made up
of Is local unions and three fedora
lions. The resolution recites alleged
wrongs of the miners in Michigan
and Colorado, and asserts that the ad-
has taken no notice of
these violations of rights of working
men, but now would precipitate war
with Mexico because the property
rights of Rockefeller are involved.
The resolution concludes
THE Pasadena board of labor calls
upon the workers in Pasadena and
elsewhere to refuse to become party
to the murder of the Mexicans for the
dollars that Standard Oil and others
hope to make from the Mexicans in
their helplessness."
