EASTLAND OWNERS
OPPOSE SAFETY LAW

Observation-Disclosures of the i'll

partment of commerce has made pub
Hull, who called on the former to
have the act either modified or en-
tirely cancelled" The cabinet official
answered that he had no such power
and in answer to his request for OBJ
lection to the law, Hull replied, in
substance:
That it would be physical impos-
sibility" to comply with the life saw
ing clauses of the law, and that ''if
it were possible to put this amount
of equipment on the Eastland the
weight that would be added to her up
per deck would make the boat diff
cult to handle"
That the provision increasing the
number of competent seamen would
afford an opportunity to able seamen
to fix an arbitrary wage and tie up
the boat without provocation."
There is no reason for an increase
in lfe-saving equipment on this run"
"The boat is constructed of steel
throughout. Her run between Chicago
and ST. Joseph is approximately sixty
miles. She is at no time in excess of
one hour and thirty-three minutes
from shore, and at all times on her
run is within ten to sixty minutes of
all steamers. Assistance in case of

other steamers and the ports of Chi.

LABOR HAS NO LEADERS

SYDNEY, New South Wales, Aus
tralia, July 31.-The Australian Work
er makes this spirited reply to the
charge by Premier Holman that a re-
cent labor conference was merely "a
voting machine"
THE labor movement is not clay in
premier. 1t is not a plastic lump, to
be pinched and squeezed into this
shape or that by a number of persons
posing as the molders of it's destiny
"The labor movement is a leader
less movement.
'It chooses certain individuals to
voice it's views and cast its votes, but
it gives no one whatsoever the right
or the power to impose his own per-
sonal ideas upon ito embody his
private opinions and prejudices and
fallacies in formal statements and de-
clare: Behold, the labor platform
"The labor movement is the biggest
thing on earth. 1t is so big that it
can't be packed into four walls or
crammed into the Uranium of any man
alive, be the size of his hat what it
may.
Nothing smaller than the whole
world will do for it. Though for prac-
tical purposes it divides itself in ac-
cordance with geographical boundaries
and racial characteristics, in spirit it
is cosmopolitan, and even mountains
and oceans cannot condition it.
"The labor movement represents the
spontaneous coming together of the
workers, goaded by common wrongs
into seeking a common remedy.
"In the ordinary meaning of the
term it has no leaders 1t neither
desires nor requires them.

DISASTER PREDICTED
BY CHICAGO UNIONISTS

CHICAGO.-In notifying President
Wilson of the Eastland disaster, which
resulted in the loss of approximately
1900 lives, Secretary Nockles, of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, inclosed
copy of resolutions forwarded to the
federal department of commerce June
%, 1914, in which an Eastland disaster
was predicted.
This resolution of protest against
the steamboat inspection service de-
clares:
I'VE believe the conditions of the
excursion passenger steamers are al
together too unsafe to be permitted to
continue without a most vigorous pro-
test from this federation as a matter
of record, in the event of any accident
in the future, that we, at least, had
registered a protest. The crowded
conditions allowed will result in the
loss of thousands Of lives even though
tied to the dock.
1--WE notice in press dispatches that
former President Mellen, of the New
Haven railroad, referred to the coast
steamers as 'tinder boxes The same
applies here because, as our commit
tee has said it seems that United
States inspectors are more concerned
with the vessel owners interest and
support than the protest of the pub
lic."

SANITARY SURROUNDINGS

Pure" food, with filthy surround
ings, may be worse than adulterated
food handled in sanitary manner" AS
sistant Commissioner J. j. Higgins
in charge of the pure food division OF
the state department of agriculture,
told the national convention of food,
drug and dairy officials, at Berkeley,
Cal, this week. Mr.. Higgins was in
charge of the discussion on present
Problems"
The battle for pure food in the
sense of unadulterated food, has made
gigantic progress in the last rs years.
said Mr.. Higgins, "but it's coordinate,
cleanly or sanitary food, has been
sadly neglected. The best and purest
products may become so contaminated
by filthy surroundings and handling
that they are more dangerous than the
vilest adulterations that prospered in
the balmy days of fraud prior to pure
food legislation"
Mr. Higgins also urged uniform ac-
ton to require manufacturers of can
ned foods to stamp on the can the
date of packing, to prevent imposition
upon retailers and consumers in pur
chase of deteriorated goods.

HOW UNIONS PROTECT PUB
Lie EXPLAINED BY
FRANK COTTERILL

The third speaker on the program
was Brother Frank w. Cotterill, of
the Seattle Building Trades Council
who spoke on the right OF an employ
er of a mechanic to know as to wheth-
er or not the workman is competent
No one employs a doctor or lawyer
unless a certificate of competency has
been secured from the proper authori-
ties as to the mans qualifications for
his work. In the same way. argued
Mr.. Cotterill, the public has a right To
know as to whether or not a man ap-
plying for work as a plumber for eX
ample, has had the proper training
and experience in that craft Human
lif els at stake in the case of insani
tary plumbing, and the only safeguard
the public can have is the union card
That union card is a certificate of
competency issued by craftsmen whc
are in a position to Judge of a work

the plumbers trade
Another and a very important point
made by Mr. Cotterill in his instruc
tive address was this: Union condi

something foreign" Nevertheless,
already in the eighties, organized la
Dor was powerful enough in some
states to cause the abolition of the poll
tax, as a prerequisite of voting. And
it was about this time that Representa-
tive Wilson, a labor official, forced
through a bill requiring the state to
furnish free text books for school chill
dren. Then came the enactment of
child labor laws, factory Inspection
and reductions in the hours of labor.
"As early as 1864" said Brother Pill
lar, "the Blue Label was placed on
union made cigars. In 1886, Califor-
MIA cigar makers adopted the white
label, as signifying white labor, as
against the unclean cigarmaking Of
the Chinese" Mr.. Pillar declared
that the union label and the right to
picket were two great forces for the
common good of any community

That the trades union movement in
Everett has taken a big step forward
as the result of the earnest efforts
Of Secretary Charles Perry Taylor's
Labor Forward" campaign, waged
persistently during the past two
weeks, was attested by the large and
sympathetic audience that assembled
last Thursday evening "a week ago.
in the high school auditorium. Elo-
quent and inspiring addresses were
made by Brother Taylor himself, who
acted as chairman, by E. P Marsh,
president of the State Federation of
Labor, by Brothers A. A Pillar and
Frank w Cotterill, of Seattle, and by
the Rev. E. E. Flint, of the Everett
Congregational church.
In a brief Introductory speech,
Brother Taylor set forth the value of
the union labor movement, not only
to the wage earners, but to society as
a whole. He told how the public
school system of this country were
established through the persistent eff
forts of organized labor; how the
suffrage for women was secured in
many states by aid of the union labor
forces. Among measures of more di-
rect benefit to labor, Mr. Taylor men,
70 hn Of
ganized labor, a continued decrease
in the hours of WOrk-day, along with
an increase in wages. "The indirect
results of these beneficient measures,
said the speaker, have left their i'm
preston on the character of the work
er, elevating his standard of living,
ennobling his ideals, and thus leading
to a general elevation of the workers
environment, both in the home and
in the shops and mills"
More vital yet to the general vel
| fare of the nation, Brother Taylor
showed how trades unionism tended to
protect childhood and make possible a
healthier race of men and women by
legislation against child labor and
sweat-shop conditions. I'VE are pass
| ing through an acute industrial de
preston, it is true," said Mr.. Taylor
"and this cannot but tend to adverse
ly affect the labor movement; but, on
the other hand, the fact that many
union men and women are at present
unemployed, or else employed only
part of the time, affords the true caro-
man or woman a splendid opportunity
for agitation and organization work
Employ your spare moments in try
ing to teach your fellow workmen the
benefits to be derived from organi2a
tion and mutual aid. Boost the unioT
label! 1t stands for better homes
more sanitary working conditions
the protection of childhood and WON
anhood and all those things whicl
are essential to the higher advance
ment of the nation"
