ANENT THE TRIBUNE

The snowstorm of papers that de-
scend upon the land each morning dis
appear as quickly as the snow. Be
cause of the ephemeral character of
their writings, newspaper writer's be-
come irresponsible, getting the daily
grind off their hands as soon as pos
sible and then forgetting it, The
Everett Tribune of Tuesday carried
an editorial of this stamp, called
Folly in Violence" Notice, even from
the pen of a workman, confers upon it
a greater dignity than the writer ever
expected it TO have, and he doubtless
wonders that anyone should take ac-
count OF this particular piece OF space
filling, more than another. Ignoring
line of seventeen men had been
beaten up by assailants composed of
the entire crew of the Jamison and
Cargo mills, the editorial laments that
instead OF calling it good, unionists
reappeared in numbers that made the
likelihood of repeating the success eX-
ceedingly improbable The Tribune is
singularly obtuse as TO which side is
in need of police protection on the
dock. The strike-breakers will be
amply taken care of by the private
army of gunner in the service OF the
mill owners. If the police need eXer-
else a protective function it most GER
tainly should be over those who,
facing gunner, are deprived of the
means of protecting themselves. We
heartily endorse the position of the
Tribune as to the fine intelligence of
the members of the Typographical
Union. Their success as a trade union
is not alone due to the intelligence of
themselves, but also to the intelli-
gence of the employers with whom
they have to deal The business of
newspaper prOprietOrs makes them
the broadest-minded employing class
in the United States. Intelligence on
both sides accomplishes the Typo
graphical Union. Trainmen, alluded
to in the editorial, have better condi-
tions. but make more demands than
almost any class of labor Their
economic power is such that even the
president can be reached by them.
The dread of a railroad strike pre-
vents a strike and complies a long
record of amiable adjustments and
granted demands. They are respected
because power is ever respected.

police, ten strong, at the county line,
wheeled with drawn revolvers, told us
to stand back and began to shoot.
About thirty shots were fired, Officer
Johnson shooting picket in the leg.
Not gun or weapon of any kind had
been flourished by our crowd, we
simply marching down the roadway
behind the strike-breakers. When the
officers started firing and one of our
men was shot, it enraged our men and
some of them broke through and
| fight was started. Lovelace, the
picket arrested, was arrested by the
city police on the county side of the
line. There were about thirty non
union men there.
The Morning Tribune states that
Commissioner Kelly was present dur
ing the morning fight, but an injured
| foot kept him out of it. Commissioner
Kelly was nowhere near the battle
that morning, but is said to have been
there at night.
The police claim they had no right
to interfere, as the trouble was out
side the city limits. The trouble at
might occurred over practically the
same territory and Lovelace was ar
rested by city policeman on county
territory. A fine discrimination. Our
policemen ought to be in the diplo-
matte service, they observe the imag-
mary boundaries of an imaginary line
so closely.
The police were content with ring
side seats during the morning seance.
Was it because we were outnumbered
two to one? The Tribune states that
there we're $50 of us Saturday night,
yet ten policemen were sufficient to
deal with the situation, it seems. Sat
urday morning there were but
eighteen of us, but five police thought
it wise not to interfere.

Brief for Health Insurance

Powerful arguments in support of
health insurance legislation in
America are assembled in the brief
which quotes government reports and
many leading health and insurance
authorities which appear to establish
the six following points:
/. High sickness and death rates
prevail among American wage
earners.
2. More extended provision for
medical care among wage earners is
necessary.
8. More effective methods are
needed for meeting the wage loss due
to illness.
4. Additional efforts to prevent
sickness are necessary.
5. Existing agencies cannot meet
these needs.
6. Compulsory contributory health
insurance providing medical care and
cash benefits is an appropriate method
of securing the desired results.
According to a recent bulletin of
the United States Public Health Ser
vice 100000, 10000 year is lost in
wages to the workers of the country
because of disablement through sick
ness. Recent investigations show
that about 25 per cent of the popula-
ton cannot afford to pay for a pri-
vate physician. Sickness is seven
times more frequently a cause of des
titution than industrial accident, yet
no American state has as yet legis-
lated to indemnify the worker for this
loss by insurance, or to provide him
with medical care. A death rate twice
as high among industrial workers as
among the professional classes indi-
Gates that industrial conditions are
the cause of much sickness and death.
The model health insurance bill
provides for the insurance of all
workers earning less than 500
month by joint contributions from
employers, employees and the state.
The funds are to be controlled by
mutual associations, and medical care
and treatment together with cash
benefits of two-thirds of wages will
be payable for a maximum of twenty
six weeks in a year. A small funeral
benefit, maternity benefit and medical
care for the insured workers family,
are also included in the plan.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1916-08-25

In the five years before the present
war not less than six European coun.
tries adopted compulsory health in
surance for wage earners. Thus pop
ulations totaling some two hundred
and thirty millions and including such
widely different peoples as Russians
and Dutch, British and Roumanians
Norwegians and Serbs, legislated for
health insurance after having seen it
in operation in Germany, Austria
Hungary and Luxembourg. State sup.
port is also given to health insurance
for workers in France, Sweden, Den.
mark and Switzerland.
These striking facts are made plain
in the summer number of the Ameri'
can Labor Legislation Review, pub
lished by the American Association
for Labor Legislation, in which, for
the first time in this country, is pre-
sented a health insurance map of
Europe with a carefully drafted bill
for American legislation and an elab-
crate brief in it's support. The map
shows that in the course of few
years this new type of social legisla-
ton has spread to every civilized, in
dustrial country in the old world, with
few exceptions, and there are indi-
cations that Canada will adopt a
ilnr ~ he nll tCin nf
the war.
In every case where health in
surance has once been tried it has
become firmly established, it's benefits
being extended to include all of the
low-paid workers. Would not Amer.
lea then also benefit by adopting the
system? To study this question, the
association, four years ago, appointed
special national committee including
among its members Miles M. Dawson,
leading actuary and lawyer; Pro.
fessor Henry R. Seager, of Columbia
University; DR.. Alexander Lambert,
chairman of the Judicial Council of
the American Medical Association !;
Miss Lillian D. Valid, president of the
National Organization for Public
Health Nursing, and DR.. Henry j.
Harris, of the Library of Congress.
AS a result of their work the COM
mittee has drafted the model health
insurance bill which, the secretary,
DR.. John B. Andrews, announces will
be introduced into more than twenty
state legislatures next year.

VALUE OF LABOR
DAY CELEBRATIONS

Many labor organizations have
Labor Day celebrations under con
sideration at the present time.
Through the efforts of the labor
movement the first Monday in Sep
TENDER has been generally set aside
as the distinctively Labor Day OF the
year and it is now practically a uni
versal holiday The purpose of the
day is TO direct general thought to-
ward the needs and aspirations of the
workers, and to afford the workers
themselves time and opportunity TO
consider those things which vitally
concern them and the labor organiza-
tion through which they are trying to
work out their ideals.
Wherever the workers have been
through some crisis which has stirred
them to particular effort and reused
them to renewed sense of apprecia-
tion of the meaning of the labor
movement, the celebration for the day
invariably has a peculiar significance
and arouses deepseated feeling and
enthusiasm
But, as in every other relationship,
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1916-08-25

where there is nothing that has par
ticularly stimulated to activity there
lis a tendency toward general
lethargy in the celebration of Labor
Day, anr it is permitted to degenerate
into a sort of social holiday unmarked
by anything distinctively labor.
This is a serious mistake. Labor
Day can have its fullest value only
when there is associated with the
celebration of the day efforts to call
attention to the purposes and the
causes of the labor movement 1t
should be a day for renewing devotion
to the cause of labor, for strengthen
ing ties of fraternity and for instilling
larger and broader ideals which lead
out to wider field of activity and a
fuller appreciation of the possibilities
/ of the labor movement.
I A Labor Day properly celebrated
does much for the organized labor
movement and gives that movement
a publicity that can rarely be secured
in any other way. When the holiday
is distinctively labor, labor news and
labor doings necessarily have first
place in all daily papers. The greater
the effort of the labor movement to
place emphasis and prominence upon
the dongs and activity of labor, the
greater will be the publicity we gain
and consequently there will result
better understanding of the power
and possibilities of the labor move
ment-an understanding that can be
utilized for practical purposes during
the whole year
1t is, therefore, urged that every
central body in the country plan for
distinctively labor celebration on
the coming Labor Day There ought
TO be a parade that will direct the
attention of the whole town to the
cause of labor, which is the cause OF
/ humanity, and in addition a general
gathering of the workers of the com
munity TO listen to labor addresses.
| The labor movement has made
tremendous progress during the past
year. On this coming Labor Day We
ought to make known the story OF
| that progress to the whole nation, and
plan for greater constructive work
during the next year. There are nc
| limitations to the work of the labor
movement, no limitations to its power
1 to bring betterment into the lives OF
the workers of this country or to
establish mutually helpful relations
with the workers Of all other
! countries.
The labor movement of the United
| States has reason to be proud of its
achievements, and to be gratified at
! the work that has been done for
! humanity and civilization during the
past year Let US express this
progress in an adequate way on Sep
! TENDER 4th

Editor Labor Journal
Through the courtesy of the Labor
Journal | would like to make state
ment to the public concerning the
trouble occurring last Saturday be-
tween union pickets and strike
breakers employed by the mill com
panies.
We have been maintaining ever
since the strike was called a picket
line to talk to the men who were
hired to take the places of striking
single weavers. We were within our
legal rights in so doing, peaceful
picketing having been sanctioned by
act of congress and by courts through
out the land This picket line has
naturally been source of annoyance
to the mill owners, as we have been
able to induce many men to quit when
they understood what this strike was
about
For weeks past the mill owners
have been assembling a small army
of professional fighting men, men who
were not shingle weavers and were
not hired to cut shingles, but to lead
an attack upon our forces whenever
the time seemed to them favorable.
We have known this for days, threats
having been freely made by the i'm
ported strike-breakers that they were
going to clean us up"
The Morning Tribune in it's lurid
account of the trouble states that
there were about twenty pickets" in
the morning trouble and "thirteen"
non-union men. The cold facts are
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1916-08-25

that there were thirteen hired fighters
brought here for that purpose and
nineteen other employees of the mill
companies in the crowd that mixed
with our pickets. There were eighteen
of our men on the line and two of
them were two blocks away.
We were down on the roadway at
$50 in the morning and talked to the
men as they went in to breakfast at
the c. B. mill. There were five police
men there, Officers Daniels, Fox,
Johnson, Ryan and Wildey. Daniels
walked down the roadway to the c. B.
mill, went in to the cook house and
talked for about ten minutes, turned
and came up the railroad track to
Jamison's and stopped at Jamison's
clubhouse for minute or two, came
out and went over to the city line and
stood looking over the fence. Downs,
Jamison's foreman, called to Officer
Ryan in the roadway. Ryan imme-
diately left for Fourteenth street and
three of the other officers imme-
diately left that vicinity.
The men came out from the c. B.
cook house up the roadway, They
had all passed Jamison's gateway
about twenty feet, when one of the
pickets spoke to one of the strike
breakers. He said to our picket, Get
back in your bunch" and struck him.
Meanwhile another gang had come out
from Jamison's and had our men be-
tween the two gangs. They rushed
us from both gangs. Orrin Baker and
others struck me and after | had
fallen Baker kicked me in the eye.
Utley held Bogans arms while Downs,
the foreman, beat him over the head
with sap.
While this was going on Neil Jami'
son stood urging the gang on and said
Get Mills, the -; get Began,
Paylor and Brunk." Apparently they
had picked us four out as the ring
leaders and wanted to put us out OF
business. After / partially came to
and started to get up, Downs and
Jamison yelled, Get him; don't let
him get away"
/ started towards Fourteenth and
passed Officer Daniels standing there
He said to me: you got what was
coming to you" There were five still
after me as | gained the Fourteenth
st. steps and turned where l could hold
my own. Orrin Baker called me every
vile name he could think Of The
police stood there in plain hearing
and did nothing. Officer Fox told an
other of our pickets, "You ought to
have got yours"
None of us we're armed. Thursday
night Sheriff McRae searched every
one of us for weapons and found none
for the very good reason that we
never allowed any of our men to carry
arms.
The news spread throughout the
day and the union men proposed ia
maintain their right of picketing and
gathered Saturday night to see that
we we're not again beaten up by this
bunch of hired thugs. We marched
down the roadway from Fourteenth
street to the city limits, when the

| would like to have some space in

pany and the Everett Tug & Barge
Company, who have business in our
City of Everett, but pay their taxes in
Port Townsend, Washington. Now if
you want evidence to show you so you
will know yourself, go down to the
City dock and look at the name on the
stern of the American Tug Boat Com
pany's tugs and you will see Port
Townsend, and that is where they are
registered and where their taxes are
paid for those boats, but the owners
expect you to pay taxes; then the
money to go toward paying salary to
police officers to sit around on the
docks and hear seafaring stories in
stead of being up town to protect
your property and the traffic on the
streets. But suppose you were one of
the men that has to earn living on
one of those boats and wanted money
enough to support your wife and chill
dren and keep them from going
hungry? Wouldn't you want fair
wages to live on? The salary that is
paid is about $45 a month, and how
far man can go on that small amount
when he has to pay rent and the cost
of living is going up? Can you blame
the poor father for wanting living
wages? You remember when you pay
that officer to stay there you are rails
ing your taxes and taking a certain
amount of bread and butter from the
mouths of some hungry children. Now
what ! think would be a good policy
for the taxpayers to do is to object to
such expenses and let Cap. Ramwell
and Cap. Pearson fight it out with the
honest laboring people. Then, if they
couldn't make a go in business, they
should quit and let people do business
that could pay living wages to their
employees and not starve them and
make criminals out of them like the
average business man is doing today.
