THE LABOR PROBLEM

Labor in America is rapidly reaching
the point where there must be sharp
division in the ranks OF the unions.
The element that is attempting to use
the war as means OF enforcingthe closed
shop and other purely union demands
will soon find itself classed with the 1.
w. w. and the other enemies OF the
government. Loyal American labor is
beginning to assert itself and to sink
individualism and unionism in patriotic
service to the country and the cause oil
worldwide democracy. There is no
question that the great majority oil
American workmen are loyal to the
country. They have made the mistake
Of permitting agitators and sell
constituted labor leaders to speak for
the labor union movement, but as the
war issues are being brought closer
home to them they are awakening to a
sense Of duty that will eventually rid
the unions Of the disloyal agitators.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1917-12-21

The individual who goes into a
restaurant, orders a cup of coffee
and then throws four or five Jumps
of sugar into the cup is to have
some reformation introduced into
his life. Within few days Seattle
restaurants will remove the sugar
bowl from the table and when a per-
son orders coffee he will find two
small Jumps on his saucer. If he
wants more he will pay for it. This
reformation is to go still farther.
Three slices of bread will be allotted
to each patron; if more is wanted
the price will be from five to ten
cents additional. The food admins
tration has found that while thous-
ands of people are helping the gov
eminent to husband the wheat and
sugar resources of the country, the
human hog who refusese to have
his comforts interfered with is oper-
ating along the same old lines; He
eats just as much if not more thain
he ate before the war and he de-
mands the things that the govern
ment asks him to cut out or at
least aid in conserving. 1t has
therefore become necessary to adopt
a more stringent rule in order that
greater economy may be practiced.

WHAT AN ARMSTICE MEANS

/. 1t suspends military operations
Troops may withdraw, but are not
permitted to advance).
D. The armies can continue TO do
all things that would be legal in time
Of peace (they can raise and drill
troops, collect stores and munitions }.
8. All conditions in disputed ter
ritory must remain in the condition in
which they were when the armistice
was concluded.
a. A siege or blockade remains in
effect. lin case OF a general armistice
between the central powers and the
allies, the allied blockade would con-
tinue, but the German submarines
would have to cease operating.)
S. Any infringement Of the terms
enables the other side to resume hos
tilittes.
6. An armistice along small por-
ton on the front can be concluded BY
opposing commanders. A general
armistice must be approved by the
governments concerned.

AROuT ENLISTMENTS

The Echo is in receipt of the fol-
lowing from the Navy Department

tions, which went into effect at noon

INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION
LAW TO MAKE IDLE WORK
Governor Asked Convene Legisla-
ture to Pass Law and Follow
Lead of Other States

At the annual meeting OF the Wash
ington Industrial Association, held in
Seattle last Saturday night, the follow
ing resolutions were passed:
Whereas, The war needs Of the gov
eminent demand that production in
every line OF industry be speeded up
to provide munitions of war, food, and
clothing for the American army in
Europe: and
Whereas, The successful prosecution
of the war depends upon the con-
tinuous utilization o. all tie man power
of the country: and
Whereas, There are great many
wilfully idle men in the State Of Wash
ington who are failing to support the
Government or lending anything to the
productiveness OF the country, and are
consuming food needed for the pros
ecution OF the war: and
Whereas, Such idleness breeds dis
loyalty, treason, sedition, anarchy, and
vice: now. therefore. be it
Resolved, By the Employers Asso-
citation Of Washington and its members
in annual meeting assembled that we
petition the Governor of the state oil
Washington to call special session OF
the Legislature for the purpose OF enact
ing law making it criminal offense
during the continuance Of the present
war for any ablebodied man, having
attained his majority, to remain will
fully idle, as other states have already
done: and be it further
Resolved, That all commercial and
civic organizations in the state Of Wash
ington and all patriotic citizens be re-
quested to join in this petition to the
Governor.

To Buy Explosives You Must Have
a License

Magistrate Graham tells the Echo
that he has received his commission to
issue federal licenses to all who expect
to have to use explosives Of any kind.
Since the act Of congress in October
last, the making, .ale, use or having in
ones possession any explosive material
of any kind whatever is regulated by
federal statute. To make explosives oil
any kind one must have government
license. If you want to buy any kind
of explosive, the dealer, if he has been
authorized TO sell explosives, will first
ask you to exhibit your permit, falling
to show it he will refuse to sell you.
II you have the proper permit he will
ask you what you want il for, how much
YOU want and when and where you
intend to use it, and make record OIL
the transaction. This is all done to
prevent any dangerous explosive falling
into the hands of those who might use
it to injure the government or make
some other wrongful use OF it. - II is
well, too, to remember that il you
violate this law the United States
government will run afoul Of you. You
know what that means. Go to q
federal nenitentiary. That's all.

Made-in-Germany Goods

Der Popular Mechanics Magazine
When the time comes that merchant
ships can again sail the seas in safety,
and the several thousand vessels flying
the German flag seek foreign shores
loaded to the guards with goods Of
German manufacture-why then should
the nations Of the world buy the
German exports. One surely can moi
expect the mothers in England, France,
Australia and Canada to buy and veal
garments made by the very hands
which dropped bombs on the hospital
in which lay their wounded sons! To
do so would be sacrilege.
And why should we in this country,
whose women and helpless children
went down on the Lusitania, whose
sons and brothers and fathers are al
ready near or on the firing line-why
should we forget all these things in
days to come, and exchange our gold
for German-made goods merely be-
cause they are offered us for little
less money than the same articles can
be manufactured here?
And why should the South American
countries encourage imports of German
goods when by doing so, every dollar
serves to strengthen the arms OF a
nation which would crush them all in
its plan Of world dominion?
Why should India and Japan and
China, help rebuild an export trade,
the rapid growth Of which, and whose
enormous profits, fed the fires Of avarice
with the dream OF controlling the
factories and workshops OF the whole
world7
The very money which for years has
flowed into Germany from France, and
England. and Italy, is this very mo-
ment going back to them in the form
OF deadly gases and monster shells, and
all the hideous implements Of which
the Huns are proud.
Money which this country exchanged
for German goods is being spent on our
own soil in propaganda by which hate
distrust and righteousness are planted
and nurtured. Our own dollars were
and still are being spent to foment hate
between this country and Japan, and
Mexico; it was some OF our own money
which paid for dishonor OF the Bern
stroff type; which has blown up our
mills and ships and docks; which has
made the I. w. w. what it is.
Shall We then in time resume the ex-
change OF our money to a foe who will
ere long approach US with a smiling
face and explain no harm was meant
when he stopped at no barrier and rec
ognized no code Of faith or morality2
Will we be so craven as to forget all
this2 Or will we demand that con
gress pass law requiring that every
article imported into this country shall
(under penalty Of con6scation) be
plainly marked, showing the country Of
its e:igin7 And then may all good
Americans show their loyalty and never
hesitate one instant between going
without an article or buying one bear
ing that mark OF iniquity Made in
Germany"

Part-Seattlc Has New Chief

Probably never before in their
history have the people of the state
# Washington been called upon to
give so freely of their money for
public purposes as they are at the
present time. The Christmas Red
Cross drive is now receiving gen
eral attention turnout the state, the
effort to interest the people in Gov
eminent war stamps is just at its
zenith and in Seattle an Effort is be-
ing made to raise 100000 for a Red
Cross Hospital, thru the Girls Re-
lief Bazaar. The latter comes off
next week and will be the biggest
thing of its kind ever held in Sc
attic. Well to do men are contribu-
ting to this bazaar not alone by the
hundreds of dollars but by the thou
sands One family has given $10,-
900 to the affair, another man has
contributed a new $4,000 automobile
to be CHANGED off, the funds to go

Seattle has a new chief of police.
His name is Joe Warren and he will
have the backing of the United Sta
ties government in an effort to clean
up the city of its undesirables. He
was recommended to Mayor Gill by
a government official who enjoys
the confidence of the authorities at
Washington. Mayor Gill asked for
Chief Beckingham's resignation dur
ing the past week and the chief re-
signed under protest. The men and
women back of the movement to
have Gill impeached pushed their
fight in the hope of inducing the
council to GUST the present chief exc
cutive, but the council voted against
impeachment.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1917-12-21

1t is generally admitted that not
since the war started have the al
lies faced the serious situation that
now confronts them. With German
success in Italy and on the eastern
front, with the promise of a Ger
man drive on the western front, it
becomes more evident every day
that if the war is to be won every
American will be compelled to make
much more serious sacrifices than
he has done to date.

NAME ASSESSOR; PETITION FOR
 OPENING DENIED

Otto Poehlmann, clerk and mag istrate, was designated as assessor for this year at the regular meeting of the council held last night, at which Frank Cotter presided in the absence of Mayor Mcdonald.
 The question of allowing the Sew ard Light X Power company to sup ply power to the San Juan Fishing & Packing company through meter was referred to the light committee.
 Clerk Poehlmann reported the re- ceipt of $226.5O in fines and forfei- lures during the month of May.
 The petition for the opening, clear ing and grading of Seventh avenue was denied as the committee reported that this could not be done under the limit of $6 per lot provided in the pe- tition.
 The water committee was asked to confer with the water company in re- gard to a fire hydrant within work ing distance of the San Juan Fish ing & Packing company plant and also concerning four or five other hydrants which are needed.
 The ordinance ratifying the con demnation of lots in the vicinity of the depot was passed on it's first read ing. It is understood that Mayor Me Donald, now at Anchorage, will take this matter up with the land and in- dustrial department in an effort to have the government bear portion of this expense. His report is expect ed before the ordinance comes up for final passage.
