ICE COVERS
 ENTIRE COAST

While speaking of the great pile of ice along the coast today. MT. Kinney of Council stated that friend inform ed him some time since, that there Is a Russian record, made before the Alaska purchase which Is now in the possession of the government, that the ice at one time came up during the Russian occupancy and covered the coast for a depth of five miles along the entire coast line.
 The friend asserted that he had seen a copy of the record in a government bulletin. The late Captain John Kelly also stated something of the same nature to friends in this city his in formation being drawn from the stories told him by some of the older natives at the time of his arrival In this sec ton in the early eighties.
 Kelly was told that within the life time of the grandfathers of his in formants, the ice had come up on shore along hundred of miles of coast line and practically every village was obliterated and the inhabitants com pelled to flee for their lives. So sud- den was the inruption of the Ice that the majority of the people lost practically all of their food and cloth ing and thousands perished of starva- ton and exposure before the arrival of spring.

reasonable and get their reward in
the knowledge that American business
is supreme. Incidentally they must
support a huge army and navy to pro.
tect foreign investments.
! That the Rockefeller interests and
the Morgan interests are working
hand in hand in their campaign for
foreign exploitation, is shown by the
Gary dinner to Theodore Roosevelt, at
which, according to Holland" the
well-known financial writer, foreign
trade was principally discussed. 1t is
shown also by the assertion of Geo
w. Perkins that the industry of this
country must be Germanized in order
to compete in the markets of the
world
The flaw in the Rockefeller Morgan
plan is its ignoring of the producer.
He is not to share in the benefits.
Instead, labor costs are to be kept
low, and therefore immigration is to
be encouraged.
Here is the banks new argument
for big army and navy:

course, the individual efficiency of

YOUR OPPORTUNITY
A LAUDABLE ENTERPRISE

One of the many laudable enter
prises launched by organized labor in
both Seattle and Tacoma last winter,
and continuing in Tacoma this win
ter, was the course Of lectures by
professors of the University of Wash
ineton, and other eminent scholars,
dealing with the history of labor or
ganIzations, with social progress in
general, and with various biological
problems in relation to human bet
terment.
The matter of having this course of
free lectures given in Everett was
brought before the Trades Council
last year. but not sufficient interest
was manifested to warrant inaugural
ing the course here under the aus
pices of organized labor.
However a number of unionists
have joined forces with an organiza-
ton of Everett students known as the
Social Science Study Club, most of
whose members are sons and daugh-
ters of working people. Under the
auspices of this association of serious
minded wage workers, the course of
lectures given before the Central La
hcr Council of Tacoma and Seattle
has been secured for Everett, and
arc being given each Sunday evening
at The Forum, 1912 California ST.,
between Colby and Wetmore.

delivered by Prof. J. N. Bowman, and

training as means of disciplinine
the workers and making them more
useful to the corporations is the lat
est idea put forward by the Nationa
City (Rocefeller) Bank in the publ
cations with which it is flooding the
country.
This is the bank whose president
F. A. Vanderlip, has organized fifty
million dollar corporation to exploit
foreign markets and the natural re.
sources of foreign lands.
The Committee on Industrial Rela-
tions already has called attention to
the campaign of the Rockefeller bank
for unrestricted immigration and low
wages, in order that American EN-.
ployers may undersell foreign com.
petitors in foreign markets and so
establish a commercial world en-
pire.

control, as the best means of coping
with European competition. The
bank says:
1T is hardly necessary for anybody
to advise that something of the idea
of the German super-organibation of
industry ought to be attempted here
since it seems to be coming along
naturally. There appears to be a
more liberal disposition, both official
and popular, toward cooperation in
business activities today than during
the time when discipline and tribula-
tiOn for corporations was the indis-
criminate order of the day. The fed

that they are not in full understand

was given last Sunday evening by
Prof. Trevor KinCaid, head of the de-
partment of biology in the State Uni
yersity, his subject being Economic
Evolution though the lecturer dealt
only with the arts and crafts of our
prehistoric ancestors. BY means of
numerous stereopticon views, Prof
Kincaid showed how primitive man
managed to wrest from a hostile en-
vironment food, clothing and shelter
though his original tools were but
Clipped stones and flint implements
of the simplest character. The evolu
tion of tools and utensils down to the
days of ancient Egypt and Assyria
were then followed and illustrated
interspersed with many witty obser-
vations in Prof Kincaids inimitable
manner.
Arrangements are under way to
have Prof Edward McMahon, of the
history department, speak this COM
ing Sunday.
AS these University Extension Lee
lures are free to the public, and all
deal most sympathetically with la
bor's struggles for a higher civiliza-
ton, it would seem but fitting that
members of organized labor and their
sympathizers not only take advant-
age Of this splendid course of lectures
for their educational value, but also
lend their presence and moral sup
port to an enterprise than can but re-
dound to the lasting advantage of the

SHINGLEWEAVERS ARE
AGAIN ORGANIZING G
CONDITIONS IMPROVING
Report of Sec.-Treas. Reid

Seattle, Wash.
To the Officers and Members of Lo-
cal Unions-Greeting:
The unusual severe winter weather
on the Pacific Coast during the past
five weeks, with the attending cessa-
tion of shingle manufacturing, has
necessitated an indefinite postpone
ment of the reorganization among the
shingleweavers, but it will be prose
cuted as soon as possible.
In a visit to Blaine, Wash, the lat
ter part of January, President Brown
signed a trade agreement with the
Blaine Manufacturing Co., the CO.
operative shingle mill of that city.
Also, the members of the crew are
members of the union and will have
their coats off to keep the Belling-
ham local, with which they are affili-
ated, pushing the work of the shingle-
weavers during the year.
On the 2Sth ult, reorganization
meeting was held in Marysville, the
second during the month. In spite
of the cold and snow, a good crowd
was in attendance. The local has Sc
cured the exclusive use of a store
building on the main street, to be
used for both a meeting place and a
rendezvous for the members when
not working. Chairs, tables and lit
erature have been provided. A live
committee, consisting of one member
from each mill in the town, has been
appointed to canvass their respective
working places. The local has de-
clared its intention of having every
shingle weaver in it's jurisdiction
"lined up" by March l.
International President Brown and
President Marsh of the Washington
State Federation of Labor are TINS
week working in Willapa and Grays
Harbor in the interests of the reor-
ganization campaign that is taking
F., shape in both those centers.
In addition to his duties at inter
national headquarters the undersigned
will devote as much time as possible
in the organization field until condi-
tions again become normal. This
will effect a considerable financial
saving to the organization. This plan'
of course, will necessitate the closing
of headquarters while the writer is
ON the road, but not more than two
or three days at time.
This office has been flooded with
letters from local unions and lay mem
hers strongly endorsing the reorgani
zation program. But one local reg

was offered under an misapprehen

for. The management of the Seattle
Union Record, the official organ of

tive proposal to combine the two
periodicals. The proposition will be
carefully considered. Until the mail

mills; *A* $1.35, Clears $780, with
the prospect further advances soon.
The Redwood shingle market also is
in a healthy condition. The mills in
Humbolt county, California, many of
which have been closed during the
past two years, are resuming opera
tions.
1t is the unanimous belief of the
manufacturers, wholesalers and re-
tailers that 1916 will be a banner year
in the shingle industry. Shingle mill
operatives can benefit by such condi-
tions only through organization.
Substantial wage increases have
been granted employees in other lines
of industry, in most cases without the
necessity of resorting to strikes. 1t
is not a coincidence that invariably
those who benefited were members of
organized labor, belonging to unions
of numerical and financial strength.
Last week the crew of the Allen
Shingle Co. mill, located near Port
land Ore, went on strike for a slight
increase of wages. AS was to be eX-
pected, within forty-eight hours their
places were filled by strike breakers.
Even yet the members of the old
crew see no benefits in organization.
Indeed, Consistency, thou art a jew
ell"
That possibilities also exist for the
organization of the other branches of
the timber industry on the craft basis
is evidenced by the interest manifest
in different localities, particularly at
Marinette, Wis; Menominee, Mich.
Braidwood, H., and Maben, w. Va.
Needless to say, this international
will render all possible assistance in
the organization of the loggers and
sawmill workers, either by organic
ing local unions with direct affilia-
ton with the American Federation of
Labor, or separate international char
ters from the parent body. Communi-
cations addressed to the undersigned
pertaining to the formation of local
unions of those branches will receive
careful attention.
