FIREMEN REPLY TO
MAYORS CHARGES

firemen are not asking for addi-
tional men or expense for the city,
merely shorter hours.
At the present time one-half of
the present crew are absent from
the fire house nine hours during
the day and at y time when most
fires occur; viz., meals hours.
With the two shifts the firemen
will carry their lunch and be on
duty at all times during the night
or day.
As to That Raise.
"As far as eliminating the horse
drawn equipment to relieve the
men of work is concerned, the mo-
tor equipment requires more atten-
ton is more hazardous to operate
while more efficiency Is attained.
1t is true the firemen received
salary raise recently, but not
$40 each. To explain, the first
year men received no raise, sec
ond-year men IS, and third-year
men $40. This is a small per-
centage of the raise in our living
expenses. Previously our salaries
amounted to IL cents an hour,
and now amounts to the immense
sum of II n cents an hour. We
might mention that the city of
Eveertt pays the same salaries
that Tacoma pays and has operat-
ed under the two-shift system for
the past year, which has proved
satisfactory.
Respectfully,
J. L. DIETRICH,

DAY OF
GUNNER
IS OVER
Especial to The Times.)

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. g.
The American public is thru with
the industrial gun-man.
1t will no longer tolerate the
professional thug whose business
it is to stir up violence in strikes
and who earns his pay during in
dustrial disputes with anything
from broken noses to murder.
The United Railroads of San
Francisco, whose history proves
it one of the most arrogant cor
porations in the United States
and whose disregard of public
duty has been fragrant, is today
having that lesson impressed up
on it.
Practically the entire city has
turned against 1t as result Of
the importation of gun-men from
New York and Chicago to break
the strike of platform men for
$3.50 wage and an eight-hour day.
Until these men were brought
in the strike here was progress
ing peaceably on the part of the
street car employees.
Shortly thereafter one killing
occurred, many heads were
smashed and a number of mep
have been arrested for murder
Discovery by federal Off
Gals that many of the inn
ported thugs were army
draft evaders, followed by
arrests, served to ALLEVIATE
whatever little sympathy .
might have been left for the
United Railroads.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3. - State
troops and federalized militia were
modified In Chicago today and its
mayor faced criminal prosecution
or Impeachment as result OF the
conference of the Peoples Council
of America for Democracy and
Terms of Peace, held here yester-
day afternoon.
The city was under martial law
90 far as pacifist meetings were
concerned.
The conference was made posi-
BILE thrue orders Of Mayor Thomp-
son, issued in defiance of Gov.
Lowden.
Troops Too Late
The governor had interrupted
Saturdays preliminary meeting by
ordering the Chicago police to dis
perse the pacifists.
Thompson was at his Lake For
est home at the time. He was
panied a. what he regarded as an
unwarra nted assumption OF his
own rights.
He not only countermanded
Lowden's orders yesterday, but
directed Police Chief Schuettler to
afford the conference every pro-
lection.
With the mayor and police on
their side, the pacifists began their
conference, which had been barred
from Minnesota, North Dakota.
Wisconsin, Utah and Illinois, at
ESQ.
The governor was appraised of
this. There we're no state troops
in Chicago and at 3 o'clock the
governor ordered four companies
of the Ninth Illinois infantry, sta
toned in Springfield, to this city.
They arrived at 9:20, but the meet
ing had adjourned at $3.50.
Some Leave City
Several of the pacifists "check-
ed out" at the Fort Dearborn
Hotel when they learned of the
troops arrival. 1t was said they
had left the city.
A majority of the delegates,
however. were still here and 1t is
believed an attempt would be made
to hold another public meeting.
Such meeting could only be
called by the councils executive
committee. 1t was announced that
this call may never be issued"
Authorities took the attitude that
this announcement was "for public
consumption" however, and we're
on the alert for any trouble that
may develop.
Besides the four companies OF
militia here, Gen. Carter, CON-
manding the central department OF
the United States army, has four
regiments of federalized militia
quartered at their armories fol
( any emergency, while Sheriff Trae'
ger has at his call several score
special deputies.
Trouble for Mayor
Mayor Thompson faces trouble
from several directions. The state

Eight-Hour Day Standard.
Among the great forward steps
of the past year is the general
recognition of the eight-hour day
as a correct standard. The I'M
RENTING agitation of unionism
for this change has at last been
productive of results that will be
permanent. Society will never
again tolerate the long day.
The past year, however, has
also brought labor face to face
with mighty problems the solu-
ton of which will call forth the
best that is in the movement.
The cost of living has mounted
to a point where grim disaster
stares the wage worker squarely
in the face. To live, he must
have more wages. And to get
more wages, he must frequently
strike.

at much faster ratio.

III this continues at the pres
ent rate.
Perhaps the most serious prob
lem which organized labor will
have to confront in this state is
the recent decision of the state
supreme court in the case of St
German against the Bakery and
Confectionery Workers union of
Seattle.
This case was decided July II,
1917, and virtually puts an end
to strike activities of unions.
The decision is so sweeping in
character that 1t denies strikers
the right to even hold CONVEX
sation with men taking their
places.
Just what organized labor will
do is doubtful, but it is a fore
gone conclusion that it will force
organized labor, with its great
strength, into the political field
to do battle with it's enemies at
the ballot box.

census of opinion among
union men is that this is the
next and most logical step.
With the great increase in
membership, the Tacoma Central
Labor Council is a scene of hustle
and activity.
Roy Harrison, the president,
and Joseph Lyons, the secretary,
are doing some strenuous work in
handling the increased business
of the council.
From the standpoint Of organi-
cation, it may safely be said that
Tacoma presents pleasing pic
ture to the loyal unionist, and this
years Labor day celebration finds
every union man filled with a de-
gree of enthusiasm that makes
his organization mean more to
him than it ever did before.

would be the highest delight
of labor's foes.
Labor knows today that the
highest allegiance to the noble
cause OF internationalism lies in
loyalty to the American republic
and its institutions of freedom
and democracy. Labor Is loyal to
this republic-intensely loyal and
Joyous in the opportunity to serve
1t and thus help extend the bless
ings or democracy and freedom to
other lands. Labor sees In that
way the realization of the hope
for internationalism.
Labor's stake in this war is the
stake of every free man and of
every lover of liberty. The whole
world history of labor has been a
history of bitter struggling for
freedom, justice. democracy and
humanity.
There is no better earnest of
the pure idealism of the American
government in this war than is
found in its relations with the
labor movement. The labor move
ments absolute devotion to the
cause of democracy and freedom
to the cause OF the people every
where's beyond all question. In
nearly all boards or commissions
In the governments machinery for
war the labor movement is repre-
sented by men of its own selection,
and its extension is assured.
Here We have a harmony of
aims. Here we have a unity Of
action.
AND so, BECAUSE THE
AMERICAN LABOR MOVEMENT
is so FILLED WITH THE SPIR-
1T OF FREEDOM, so FILLED
WITH THE CRAVING FOR
DEMOCRACY, POLITICAL AND
INDUSTRIAL, ITS AIMS IN THIS
WAR CAN BE FOR NOTHING
LESS THAN A WORLDWIDE
DEMOCRACY. 1T WILL NEVER
REST SATISFIED so LONG AS
A SINGLE AUTOCRACY EXISTS.
The labor movement, thro bit
ter historical experiences, we'll
knows the bitter enmity autocracy
bears toward the working people.
1t recognizes in the Teutonic alli-
ance the last stand of autocracy
and its tyrannous social concept.
Its aims of liberty, democracy
and internationalism have already
strengthened the hand of labor in
our own land during the war. And
be it remembered, we are only at
the threshold. The fundamental
vigor of our movement, the Or
ganic fitness of its structure, have
made 1t strong unto itself and
help beyond measure to our gov
ernment.
We have, moreover, helped our
republic to better conception of
the position of the workers within
our own borders, and in this we
shall go on and on and on; we
want the fullest measure of
democracy everywhere, and we are
no more blind to abuses of democ-
racy at home than abroad.
This is my message to the work
ers-to all the people of our re-
public on this Labor day, 1911
the day that sanctifies the great
cause in which we and all the
democracies of the world are en-
gagged:
The downfall of tyranny
and autocracy-the disen-
thralment of the peoples of
all nations from every Vestfge
Of injustice and unfreedom.
