CHAPTER TX

It was just at that instant that the
thick set man in his berth not 10 feet
away became broadly conscious Of the
unWonted stiffness Of the train and
me cessation OF motion that had lulled
him to such sound repose. So does a
tiny. sharp sound strike upon our
senses and bring them into life again
from sleep, making us aware OF q state
OF things that has been going on for
some time perhaps without our reali-
zation. The sound that reused him

Another soft clicking OF the latch set
him to listening and his bristly
shocked head was stuck instantly out
between the curtains into the aisle,
eyes toward the stateroom door, just in
time to see that a mar was stealing
Quietly down the passageway out Of

and an umbrella. It was his q He

frantic with the thought. Almost he
had outdone himself through foolish

He half spranE from his berth. then
remembered that he was but partly

alton OF putting them on to yank up
his window shade with an impatient
click and flatten his face against the

is not IN any sense pollIlcal
machine.
Here and there arise
Partisans who would use
The union labor movement
For party purposes,
Forgetting that trades unionists
Are of all parties, and prejudiced too
Some intense partisans,
Others most intensely non-partisan.
Each objects to the other.
Beside them the pope's Irish
And the A. P. A. are bosom friends.
Completely and intensity
Of political belief and prejudice
Make political action impossible.
What's the answer?
Is there any use trying
To foist your political notions
Down the threats of others?
No use to try to rush political Utopia
Down the throat of Indifference.
Better wait.
Also, better remember
That a Federation of Labor
Mostly means
The last word of the three.
Perhaps, after all, the people enjoy
Partisan fights, and regard
Non-partisanship as a joke.
Perhaps they love nothing so much
AS the chance to be independent,
Or contrary.
Tie the union labor movement
To the Progressive, the Socialist,
The Republican, the Democratic,
Or even the narrow-gauge Prohibition
party,
Any one of them,
And there will issue forth a roar
That would make the battlefields of
Europe
Sound like a whisper
In the chambers of the dead
Try even to make the unions
Declare themselves non-partisan
And then watch initiative petition
No. 10
Fade into the cavern of lost hope.
Verify, it is to laugh.
Just now Americans mostly want
money,
Made out of war if need be.
War is hell, and we are sorry.
See our crocodile tears.
But money is more to us
Than lives of men and women abroad
Money made from blood shed afar off
Doesn't somehow seem tainted.
Perhaps it is washed
On the way over the big pond.
Aren't you patriotic
Don't you feel a thrill of pride
When you think of American
Labor and capital sitting down
To a commercial, industrial banquet
With bill of fare
Made of the blood and bones
OF men and women DER the water?
No wonder America is hated round
the world.
Now, then, wage-earners,
If you want something to fight for,
Something to save through battle,
Something you dare not lose,
Think of your freedom as workers,
Your liberty guaranteed by the con
stitution.
The anti-picketing bill
| Will take from you
What the Spirit of '76
Obtained for all Americans
| If you do not defeat that measure.
Bitter struggles in national congress
Have won for you freedom
Which you will lose
| When the anti-picketing bill
Becomes a law
1t is not yet too late
To save your industrial liberty,
| But if you go to sleep this fall,
Not all the powers of all your friends
Can save you from your own stupidity
That anti-picketing bill
Is intended for pust one thing,
To destroy unions in this state.
Without your union, where will yor
| be?
That bill means loss of freedom,
| No more, no less.
Now, then, where are you?
In whose army are you enrolled?
Are you ward heeler,
HIM o. for nOlitiaa1 fIpchnntc
Or are you a fighter for freedom
| For those who toll,
Free speech, free press, free unions
On guard, wage-earner,
Your liberty is in peril.
Under which flag?

UNCLE SAM PRINTS
INCOME TAX CHARGES

The hearings on Basil Manly
charges of income tax frauds before
the house committee on expenditures
in the treasury department have now
been printed in pamphlet form by the
government, and can be had for the
asking by addressing the chairman of
the committee, Hon. c. o. Lobeck,
House of Representatives, Washing
ton, d. c..
The pamphlet contains not only
Manly's testimony backing up his
charge that the treasury is being
robbed of $32O,OOO,OOO a year by in
come tax evasions, but also a com
plete reprint of the articles which he
wrote exposing the frauds. Manly
also put in the record the detailed
evidence upon which his charges are
based and the calculations which
show how the nations income of
$4,000, 100000 is created and who
gets it.

part of the laboring men would be
music to the soul of Colonel Hartley

But, by the powers of Moll Kelley,
Colonel, that plan has never worked
out to the advantage of the man who
works. 1t has always worked out to
the advantage of the man who appro-
PIRATES without rendering any ade-
quate service for what he gets-the
entrepreneur and Spectator
Now if Colonel Hartley and his sup
porters would just go down on the
docks and handle freight for a week
and then lie idle, say, two weeks as
the longshoremen haveto do, eating
up what they had earned in the mean
time, they would be ready to swear
that the service is worth S. an hour
insteadof 81.
But this will never happen. The
colonel does not like longshore work /;
it is SO undignified and exhausting.
Permit poor longshoreman to give
you a little bunch, Colonel:
You will never be governor of the
State of Washington. We do not
want prehistoric men in that job.
Your notion that labor leaders con-
troll unions is on a par with the rest
of your misinformation. There is no
class of men on earth who WELD less
authority over their constituency than
labor leaders. You can bet your
wooden head, Colonel, that when a
labor leader does anything it is be-
cause his union wants him to do it.
But, Colonel, dear, take a FOOLS ad-
vice and quit. You are doing yourself
no credit, and the world no good

be on the job long after such wind

WORKERS MUST KILL
ANTI-PICKET BILL
Notorious -Picketing Bill Is
Printed Below for the Aid
of Unionists

Below will be found the exact word
ing of the Anti-Picketing bill passed
by the 1915 Washington legislature:
AN ACT defining picketing, pro-
hibiting the same, and providing the
penalty for violation thereof.
BE 1T ENACTED BY THE LEGIsLA-
TURE OF THE STATE OF WASH
INGToN:
Section 1. Whoever shall, for the
purpose of carrying on, calling atten-
tion to, or advertising, directly or in
directly, any controversy, disagree
ment or dispute between any labor
union or organization, or members
thereof and any person engaged in
any lawful business, or his employe,
or for the purpose of hindering or
preventing such person from conduct
ing his business in any lawful way, or
employing or retaining in his employ
any person who may lawfully engage
in such business.
(D Stand or continuously move
back and forth, on the sidewalk,
street, public place or private prop
erty, in front of or within five hun
dred feet of, any place in which any
lawful business is conducted by such
other person. or home or place of
abode of such other person or his
employe, or
(2) Openly maintain, carry or trans
port on any sidewalk, street, public
place or private property, any BAN
ner, sign, transparency, writing or
printing, or
60 Cause any person to do any of
the foregoing acts for any of the fore
going purposes:
Shall be guilty of picketing.
Section 2. Any person who shall en-
gage in picketing shall be guilty of
misdemeanor.
Section 8. The singular number
when used in this act shall include the
plural, and the word person" shall
include individuals, firms, partner
ships, associations and corporations.
Section A. Any adjudication of in
validity of any part of this act shall
not affect the validity of the act as
whole or any part thereof.
Passed the senate March A, 1915.
Passed the house March 10, 1915.
Approved by the governor March 10,
1915.
This measure is more than an anti
picketing bill. 1t is bill intended to
destroy trades unions. 1t is an anti
publicity bill, an anti-free speech, anti
free press bill. 1t forbids men on a
strike for improved industrial condi-
tions from engaging in any kind of
publicity to let the public know the
cause of the trouble with their en-
ployers. They cannot tell the cause
Of the trouble in person, nor can they
tell it through the medium of news
paper. It's sponsors intend to kill off
the unions entirely by the drastic pro-
visions of this vindictive measure.
1t is referendum measure No. 6, and
by all manner of meaus YOU should
vote AGAINST it.

courts of this country the right to in
terfere with the lawmaking process.
Yet that is exactly what has been
done by the supreme court of the
State of Washington in its recent de-
cision reversing the lower court and
granting an injunction against two
of our initiative bills. Granted by
the constitution the power to inter
pref legislation, it has steadily
usurped administrative power through
the injunction writ and now it usurps
law-making power by granting the
courts the power to say to the people
what they shall or shall not incor-

REPUTATION OF
COL. HARTLEY
Typographical Union of Everett
Gives Some of the
"Kurnel s" Past
Everett, Wash, Aug. 5, 1915.

Everett, wash, Aug. ., lSlO'
To Organized Labor of the State of
hington-Greeting
It is a source of modification to
the members of Everett Typograph-
ical Union No. 410 that the City OF
Everett, home of an aggressive union
labor movement, should be the home
city of a candidate for the high and
honored office of governor of the
state, who is unfit by temperament as
viewed from his public utterances, for
that high position. In our opinion 1t
would be public calamity for Colonel
Roland Ii. Hartley to be elected gov
ernor, and in this letter we shall
briefly set forth the reasons why we
ask every laboring man to vote and
work against him.
Colonel Hartley is an avowed enemy
of trade unionism, by that fact alone
showing he is absolutely out of
touch with modern day life. He rare
ly makes a public speech or is quoted
in the public press that he does not
rave and rant on this subject SO in
furiated does he become at the mere
mention of trade unionism," he re-
fuses to have the union label upon
his campaign printing, and is attempt
ing to make political capital out of
this colossal exhibition of stupidity.
He was a member of the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, and was a
member of the reactionary crowd
which threatened to withhold ap-
preparations from our State Univer-
sity unless the faculty ceased teach
ing what it termed Socialism" and
anarchy" but which was nothing
more nor less than political economy
as taught in every university through
out the land.
A glance through the following list
of bills on which the colonel voted in
the legislature will throw a great
white light" on his attitude toward
our problems of government, and our
industrial and social problems.
He voted to amend the Eight-Hour
Law for women to allow girls work
ing in laundries to work ten hours.
He voted for the employers First
Aid" Law, known as the Kleeb bill.
He voted to repeal the Eight-Hour
Law on public works.
He voted to amend the initiative,
referendum and recall law thereby
making it nearly impossible of use.
He voted for the Whitney Election
Bill to restore the party nominating
caucus.
He voted for the infamous Anti
Picketing Bill.
He voted for all measures referred
to the people last fall by the joint
legislative committee; measures SO
vicious we were compelled to invoke
the referendum.
He was a good little machine man,
always playing the political game with
the employers and smooth politicians.
He is, at this writing, part owner in
an Everett single mill where the
men have been on strike to enforce
the union scale.
He is an unsafe man to be governor
of the great, progressive State of
Washington, viewed from any angle.
