FAR WESTERN
UNIONISTS MEET.

Santa Rosa, Cal, Oct. 21.lOrgan
lied labor is in favor of the vocation
al school, but such schools must not
be used by industry for exploitation
purposes, declared President Hagger-
ty in his report to the state federation
of labor convention.
Referring to the commission on in
dustrial relations, Secretary Scharren-
berg said:
eff trade unionism needed vindica-
ton it was secured in full and plenty
in the reports issued by the commits
sion. And if some of US are inclined
to become complacent the big out
standing facts about industrial condi-
tons in our country ought to furnish
a rude awakening. It is the first time
that an official report has been made
to the United States government on
the labor question which does not
hesitate to present the real remedy
for economic evils"

Relief From
Unemployment
(Tariff Commission Leauue.)

(Tariff Commission League.)
Uncertainty of employment is the
bane of existence for the average
Workingman. So serious has the sub
iect grown in recent years. that it is
attracting the attention Of econom-
lists, philanthropists and statesmen.
Many conventions and conferences
have been held to discuss the sub
ject and various methods have been
suggested for the relief Of a condi-
ton which imperils the health and
standards of living of the laboring
masses.
Leading thinkers have pointed out
that one of the first requisites to
steadier employment is the regular
ization of industry. They have sug-
gested various ways through which
this might be accomplished in a
measure. Generally speaking, how
ever, they have overlooked the first
and most important point, which is
making the tariff question football
for politicians to be used by them
many times to further personal inter
ests to the detriment of the great
masses of the people. If industry is
to be regularized and stabilized the
I first step necessary is to take the i'm
portant subject of tariff-making out
of politics and place it on a sound,
economic basis.
Periods of industrial depression
occur in the United States with pain
full regularity. Such periods are &C
companied by lack Of employment and
all the attendant, evils which that
condition brings. And the causes are
purely artificial for periods of indus
trial stagnation come when Nature Is
most bountiful, when all the natural
conditions in our country are favor
able for prosperity.
Following each change In national
administration there comes period
of doubt and uncertainty which
makes it's influence felt throughout
the length and breadth of the coun-
try. What is the reason? Nature
recognizes no change in our national
Our natural resources
are not diminished by any such
change. Crops are more bountiful
each year, yet unemployment is on
the increase. We feel the effect but
we fail to look closely enough for the
acause in an eort to have it removed.
Opinions may differ on the desirz
ability of having a high protective
tariff or absolute free trade. Between
the two extremes probably lies the
solution of the problem. for revenue

penses Of government. But there can

THE NIGHT WATcHMAN

Alone by night, the year around,
While others enjoy their sleep;
The Waterman, he's duty bound;
That his vigil He must keep;
He's on the job from night till morn
And hears the least little knock;
Every hour, as the hour, is born,
He must go and punch the clock.
The clock will surely tell on him,
If he misses just one punch;
It will not stop, for Jack nor Jim,
Sure, the job is not bunch;
He must care for everything,
And dare not make a mock;
He always must be on the swing
And in time to punch the clock.
If he sits down to take a rest,
And think of else but to watch
And if he does. his very best,
To the clock he is no match.
The time goes on whole night long,
OF no one he takes any stock;
The Waterman huns his favorite song
81 must go and punch the clock"

There is no rest to the Waterman,
He. is always on the go;
When on his beat his eyes they scan
East. West, North and South; so
He can see what ever goes on.

laws of Illinois. Many of the leading
men and women of the country have
| Joined in the movement. Among
these are James J. Hill, Geo. w. Per
kins, Thomas A. Edison, ). M. Stude-
baker, F. D. Coburn, ex-Gov. w. D.
Hoard, Mrs. P. V. Pennypacker, Pres
ident General Federation Women
Clubs and others. The League has
the Endorsement Of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and on its advisory
committee are the names of John
Mitchell, former president of the
United Mine Workers, and Warren S.
Stone, Grand Chief Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers. The purpose
of the Tariff Commission League is
to arouse a sentiment in the country,
sufficiently strong to compel Congress
at it's next session to create perma
nent non partisan Tariff Commission
with powers broad enough to enable
it to fully inquire into tariff schedules
and make such recommendations to
Congress, based upon facts, as the
particular situation may seem to
warrant.
A tentative draft of bill has been
prepared by the Tariff Commission
League. The bill provides for the
creation of a permanent commission
of seven persons. No political party
can have a majority on the commits
sion. Labor, agriculture, manufact-
ures, trade and commerce and educa
ton are to have direct representa-
ton on the commission.
The movement to take the tariff
out of politics and place it on sound
basis, must appeal to every
person who has given the subject the
slightest thought It should be en-
couraged in every way and especially
by the working classes who are the
chief sufferers when industrial de-
pressions are brought on through |
tariff tinkering by the politicians.

Associated Press officials say they
