J. G. Baldus for some time past con-

with the Record Auto Company. He will
be in charge of the sale of Smith Form
trucks, for which this company are
distributors in this section.
The probabilities are that on Labor Dav
Washington will have an automobile ra ce
meet. Those behind the idea are now
making arrangements for a course on
which to conduct the event and if they
are successful the event is assured. Prom
ises have been received from some of
the motor circuit drivers that thev will
enter. This in itself should assure a
good afternoons sport, but In addition
to this they have in mind the running of
several events that will be open only

TO KNOW is TO FORGIVE

There is a French proverb which
tells us that to know everything is
to forgive everything: Tout savior,
cest tout pardonner" A few people
realize it. A few gracious souls look
for the lights and explain away the
shadows; most of us judge and con-
denim a dozen times a day There
are cables of heredty which drag
the kicking and struggling soul;
there are undertows of psychological
makeup, sweeping along the man
who does not know that he is swept;
there are secret tragedies which
have come to be commonplace to
the actors of them. That women
or men are cheerful citizens is more
likely to, be a sign of courageous
dignity than of unmitigated good
luck; it is probable that everybody
has a sore spot and something to
whine about, if whining seemed
fitting. Therefore it is well to re-
member and a thing always for
gotten, and if one could get the plot
of the intricate working by reason OF
which unpleasant people are not
angels of light, we should probably
at once forgive everybody every
thing. But it is all as tangled as
the monetary system, and only a few
strong and gentle ones remember
Tout savior, c'est tout par
donner." Even more likely is II
that to know everything is to fine
that there is nothing to forgive

Report of President E. P. Marsh
to State Federation of Labor

which exists is conditioned by the in
dustrial status of the citizens who
| form the majority of the community
Can there be found a stronger argu
ment for the necessity of aggressive
organization of wage workers? No
man may be politically free to express
through the ballot his desires and as.
pirations if he be indusrially a slave
though nominally possessing the in.
struments of self-goverument. He
who controls my job, who may in a
moment reduce me to penury and
want, by the same token controls my
vote through my economic fear.
The highest form of patriotism is
the willingness to sacrifice for high
ideals in life Not all the heroes in
storm-racked Europe wear their coun-
try's uniform. She who gave her hus-
band and sons to her country, going
forth meanwhile to mental labor to
keep the breath of life in the little
ones at home, inscribed her name in
fadeless letters upon the page of
heroism.
When upon a November day the
hills of Ravendale echoed the sullen
reverberations of that terrific eXplo-
sion, heroes went to their death. No
marble shaft may mark their last rest
ing place, their names be never known
outside the small circle of their
mourning friends and loved ones
They lived in simple fashion, their
tastes simple, their bodily wants few
But in their breasts burned the divine
spark of love. He who braves death s
ugliest form, far below Gods sun
light, that he may clothe and feed and
educate his loved ones is just as
worthy the plaudits of a nation as he
who faces the storm of shot and shell
on field of battle. Social evolution
is wrought by the man in overalls
the man who does well his daily task
the handspring of whose life is the
desire to lift his children to a higher
plane than he himself has occupied
The trade union movement, despite
its imperfections, it's stormy periods
is the economic expression of human
kind for better things. Give thai
movement your devotion, your sym
pathy, your liberation, that through
the process of class struggle higher
type of civilization may emerge.
Fraternally submitted

President

RETAIL PRICES OF FOOD
IN THE UNITED STATES

Bulletin No. 1874, showing the re-
tail prices of the principal articles of
food in each of As important indus
trial cities of the United States has
lust been issued by the U. S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics of the Department
of Labor This Bulletin, which is one
of a series on retail prices published
by the Bureau( shows actual prices
for January to June, 1914, and Janu-
airy to June, 1915 and also summar-
ICES retail prices for the period from
1907 to June, 1915.
Later figures showing the course OF
prices in the United States are now
available for September, 1915.
These figures show that prices, as
a whole. in September, 1915, were l
per cent. less than in January, 1918,
and were the same as for the year
1914. The lowest point in the nine
months of 1915 was reached in March
when prices were per cent. lower
than in September.
From July, 1915, to September, 1918
there was an increase of l per cent
in the price of all articles combined
although II of the II articles declln-
ed in price and remained the same
The 3 articles which increased in
price. however, made a marked ad
vance, particularly eggs, which jump
ed 25 per cent largely due to change
in season.
In September, 1915 however, prices
showed a decline from September
1914. of per cent. and were the
same as for September 1913.

CIGARMAKERS'
UNION ELECTION

Perhaps the most important cleo
ton in the labor movement during the
year is that for international officers
of the Cigarmakers' Union, which will
be held on Saturday, February 18th
1916
Every member of the union, except
those who are sick or travelling, are
compelled to vote, under penalty of a
fine.
This is the union to which Presi-
dent Gompers of the A. F. of L. be-
longs, and he is candidate for re-elec-
ion to two positions, namely, list Vice
President and Delegate to the A F.
of L.
All the present officers are candi-
dates for reelection. The main con-
test this time, however, as in the last
election, is for the position of presi-
dent between G. w. Perkins, present
incumbent of Chicago, H., and H. c.
Parker of Philadelphia. In the last
election, in a poll of 1,343 votes, the
change of less than 1000 votes would
have changed the result and elected
H. c. Parker president.
The Cigarmakers' Union members,
men and women, in the United States,
Canada, Porto Rico and Cuba, will
vote on the same dav
Four delegates are to be elected to
the American Federation of Labor and
there are 26 candidates. There is a
recognized anti-administration ticket
and much electioneering is being done
on both sides. flood of circulars
are being sent out by individual can
didates and various volunteer organi.

Altogether the cigarmakers are hav'

both sides concede that the result
may be determined by a few hundred
votes Meanwhile, as usual, all the
candidates are smiling and hopeful

SHE RECEIVED AN ANSWER

"A young lady in Vancouver, B. c.

camp stating that he had bought the

Iprobable that there has been no
agency to intelligently study cannery
conditions and furnish reliable help.
Surely the private employment agen-
cies did not. If men had dollar or
| two apiece and some cannery wanted
help, the job was done when the men
paid the dollar and departed for the
cannery, as far as the employment
agent knew or cared. And it should
be remembered that in normal indus
trial times the bulk of local white
male labor would have been cared for
in the lumber and single mills stead
lily and not available for briefly sea
sonal cannery employment,
The problem the federal employ
ment department has to work out is
to furnish a reliable, steady type of
white labor This last season without
doubt local white labor would have
gladly filled every cannery position.
Such might not be the case next year
should the lumber industry revive.
There is a splendid opportunity to
develop a corps of itinerant seasonal
workers, who would work in the can
neries during the fish canning season,
in the berry fields during the berry
season, etc, the labor flow directed
by the federal labor bureau after max
ing a study of industrial conditions
and needs. There are many men who
would buy small tracts of land and
help to develop this state, if they
part of the year, their earnings to go
into their land.
1t will take time to work out this
problem and it will require the co
operation of cannerymen with the la
Dor department. | shall be disappoint
ed if ultimately the Oriental be not
replaced entirely by white labor in
this and other industries, but l do not
expect to see the problem solved in
single season. Sometimes we have
to be Jared severely before we will
apply rational remedies to bad condi
tions. The demonstrations occurring
in Anacortes and Blaine, while un
/ pleasant, were perhaps needed to dis
turb our complacency and cause us
to put the intelligent reasoning part
of us at work.
