REPORT OF PRESIDENT E. P. MARSH
OF STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR

1t is the purpose of Mr.. Wood and
Of Mr.. White, Commissioner of Immi-
grafton, to eventually place in each
office in charge of employment work
the man most particularly fitted from
experience and choice to deal with it.
But little, if any, funds were available
at the commencement for this work.
Existing office equipment and the eX.
listing force had to be utilized. The
duties pertaining to proper enforce
ment of immigration laws are onerous
enough without adding other work
and it is the hope of the department
that adequate funds may be secured
that men may be detailed to exclu-
sive employment work
In several cities the offices have
mot been conveniently located. 1t is
Intended to relieve this condition, al
so, b. establishing quarters in those
parts of cities where men out of en-
ployment mostly congregate. Sepa-
rate quarters for women are also
necessary with adequate waiting
rooms.
The federal government is in a
splendid condition to be informed as
to industrial and agricultural POSSIBLE
titles. Through it's department of ag-
riculture its postoffice department, its
immigration service, it may know at
.all times the exact condition of the
crops. note a slackness in a certain
industry, unwonted activity in an
.other. Accurate information for the
prospective employee as to working
conditions is now possible as never
before.
No discrimination is made as be
tween union and non-union men In
furnishing employment, except that
strict orders have been given that
men are not to be sent into a strike
bound district for the express pur
pose of breaking strikes. We have
no quarrel with that policy, as it is
the only one under which a govern
ment bureau can be successfully op
Grated until the principle of collective
bargaining becomes firmly established
in American industrial life.

pationa can successfully claim the
same exemption. If all avocations
where mental labor equals to or ex
ceeds the manual labor performed be
classed as non-workers under the I'M
derstanding Of the decision, many
thousand employees in this state to
whom the law was originally intended
to apply will be subject to the private
employment agency system.
FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT
AGENCIES
Following out the plans of Secre-
tary of Labor, William b. Wilson, a
system of federal employment agen,
cies was established in this state
early in the year under the general
direction of Mr. Larry Wood of the
immigration service Headquarters
were established in Seattle and every
Immigration office, thirteen in num-
Der. was included in the plan. The
main offices, however, are in the larg-
err cities of Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane,
Walla Walla, North Yakima, Aber-
deem. Everett and Bellingham.
From March list, 1915, up to Deem,
Der list. 1915, total of 1887 positions
were filled. These were actual posi-
tons and represented that number of
men furnished with employment.
The most of the work was of a sea-
sonal nature, but it is intended to
cover basic industries just as fast as
it can be brought about This will
depend largely upon cooperation be
tween employers in the basic indus
tries and the federal department.
The office at North Yakima made
a remarkable record under the man
agement Of Mr.. Greenblatt, immi-
grafton officer in charge, and shows
what can be done by man with his
heart in the work. That office was
established the 18th OF last May and
during the remainder of that month
filled SO positions; in June, 2S5 posi-
tions were filled; in July, 259; in
August. 942; in September, 1146; in
october. $50. in November, 29o; a
total from May 18th to December LIST
of 3941.

U. S. HAS THE BLUES"
SCIENTISTS THINK
War, With Daily Slaughter of 10000,
Is Having Strange Effect on
Americans Minds

The red hand of Europe has cas-
it's dread shadow over the minds O
all America
Puzzled scientists observe an entire
nation of one hundred million persons
in the grip of the strange mental de
preston called 1.-The blues"
What is the matter with America
they ask, and the answer comes back
in the roar of the battlefields.
The whole nation literally is brood
ing over the terrible slaughter in Eu
rope. Across the Atlantic 10000 men
are dying every day, and here in
America 100,0O000O people are talking
about it every day. And it is having
an extraordinary effect on the minds
of all Americans.
That this is not mere theory of the
scientific dreamer is shown by the
government statistics of the last year.
The number Of suicides increased I'M
til they reached the unheard-of total
of 14,1SO
Ill health was given as the cause
in 1870 cases; insanity, $50; disap-
pointment in love, 536, and family
troubles in 965 cases.
Shooting was the most frequent
method of suicide; 1857 persons shot
themselves, 1882 took poison and .
063 killed themselves with gas,
Other methods mentioned in the
order of their frequency were drown.
ing, jumping from roofs, throat-cut
ting, jumping in front of trains, stab.
bling fire dynamite and starvation.
There We're thirty-two cases of sui
eide by pact and 258 cases of murder
and suicide
The worlds record for murders was
reached with a total of $3.50, and the
unhealthy mental condition OF the peo-
pie is shown by the fact that the vast
majority of the victims met their
deaths in quarrels.
Gustave lie Bon, the great French
psychologist, says: ideas, sentiments,

CAPITALIsM'S INCENTIVE

The warden of Sing Sing prison is
likely to lose his job. His crime con
sists of treating the convicts as
though they were human beings
Capitalism not only brutalizes the
race, and manufactures convicts
wholesale, but also denies them a
human existence when the clutch of
the law has fastened upon them.
There is not a scientific man of today
who if his mouth was not gagged,
would not unhesitatingly condemn
not only the conditions that are re-
sponsble for the making of criminals,
but the inhuman methods adopted to-
ward them when in captivity, Prison
reform is a neglected matter because
the criminals are not in a position to
demand reforms for themselves. Bet
ter conditions come only to those who
demand them.

The Value of
Human Life

Every time an American is killed
by the armed forces of another ma
ton there is a howl that can be heard
from the Battery to the Bronx and
points north. Today it is the slaugh-
ter Of seventeen Americans by Villa
soldiers that occasion the outburst.
One would think that human life
was so sacred that the American peo-
pie cannot brook the idea of Ameri-
can lives being taken. But it is not
so. Every week there is the wanton
legal taking of life somewhere in
Death House. Every day there is a
murder somewhere - 1920 was the
record last year Each day children
are run down on the streets by auto
mobiles and cars Each year ten
thousand people are killed by the rail
roads. mostly "tresspassers," as they
are euphemistically called by the com
panies in their statistical reports.
And, outside of a spasm of horror
at particular case, such as the Tri-
angle fire, they are considered merely
