in violation of the agreement en-
tered into between the men and the
company in August. Following the
receiyership proceedings of last week
troll of affairs by proclaiming abolish
ment of the weekly pay day and sus-
pension of the Saturday half-holiday
This program WAS promulgated with
out consultation with the employees
and in protest against it the entire
crew quit work.
1t will be remembered that in
August, when a settlement of the
strike was reached. the demands of
the men included the Saturday half
holiday with an overtime penalty in
the event that the company desired
the work to continue Saturday af-
ternOons. Fearful that the company
might be forced, upon final settle
ment to pay the overtime rate for
Saturday afternoon. il was mutually
agreed that the yards should go on
fiye-and-a-half day basis and this
has been the practice since the set
tlement. The new regulation pro-
vided for straight time only for Sat
urday afternoon, clear violation of
the agreement.
The other regulation. a semi
monthly payday, was a change from
the practice of the past, the Olympia
Shipbuilding company having paid
wages each week since establishment
here. In addition to the twice-a-
month appearance of the pay car, the
company proposed to hold back five
days pay, the plan being to pay on
the 9Th up to the first of the month
and the goth up to the 18th of the
month.
Just what the outcome will be no
one is prepared to say. The men,
however are determined that they
shall be consulted when radical
changes of working conditions are
deemed necessary by the manage
ment. The new management has pro-
ceeded on the theory that it is only
necessary to consider the wishes OF
the employer, theory that has been
thoroughly exploded by organizations
of workingmen. Had the manage
ment proceeded on basis of equity
it is not doubted that the matter
could have been arranged satisfac-
torily to all concerned. Concessions
would have been made by the en-
ployes upon showing that changes
were necessary, but it was put
squarely up to the men to crawl OF
quit, and they quit, conceding to the
company employment Of four men
as watchmen at the plant.

COERCION A FAILURE.

Penalties for violation of the Cana
dian cant strike" law, officially
known as the industrial disputes in
vestigation act, have failed to check
strikes and lockouts and whatever
success the law may have is because
of it's Cancellation features.
From March %, 1907, to December
81, 1916, there have been 204 strikes
in violation of this law, affecting SO.-
278 employees whose time loss was
3,015,84 days.
"Of this number" it is stated,
"two disputes, affecting 95 employees,
wose time loss was 800 days, may be
considered lockouts. Assuming the
minimum penalty of $40 per day per
striking employee, it will be seen that
more than $30,O00,OOO in uncollect-
cd fines have accumulated during the
period stated. If the maximum pen
atty is assumed, the amount exceeds
$3.50, 100000.
"In the face of this record of pros
ecutions and violations during q pc
Rod of nearly ten years it does not
seem probable that a wholesome re-
spect has been fostered for such pro-
visions, nor that a fear of the impo-
sition of penalties serves in any con-
iderable degree as restraining in
fluence. On the contrary, there is a
strong indication that whatever sue
cess has attended the administration
of the act has been due to the con-
ciliatory efforts of the department of
labor through it's fair-wage officers
and it's boards of Cancellation and in
vestigation: to the dislike for pub
licity rather than to the fear of fine;
to the existence of means of nego-
tiation rather than e means of re-
striction."

WAGES MUST ADVANCE.

The california state Council OF De
Tense has made public the report of
Prot. ". Z. Jaffa of the University OF
California on the need of readjust-
meut Of wages because OF the in
creased cost OF living.
It il stated that the increase III the
cost Of living is SO per cent during
the last two years and that the man
viii a wife and three children to sup
port. who receives S75 a month, will
have $3.50 left to pay for clothing.
insurance and other extras, after he
has paid for necessary food, rent and
shoes. Many families. in order to
make both ends meet, have largely
reduced their food consumption and
such reduction is at the expense of
proper growth and development of
children and impaired efficiency and
endurance of adults. says Professor
Jaffa.
Taking rent. which he figures at
SIS a month. and light and fuel at
$50 and SO respectively, as being
items which have not increased in
price during the last two years, Prof.
Jaffa shows that where the average
wage Garner expended S57.15 for
necessary living expenses a year ago,
the increases in food, clothing and
shoes now make it necessary for him
TO pay out $3.50 each month in or
der to properly nourish, house and
clothe himself and family.
Shoes in each family. that cost
S5.25 month during 1916, now cost
IS monthly, which is inclusive of re-
pair charges, made necessary by the
use of poorer materials.

The convention should have been
held earlier in the week, but certain
delays in getting the information 10
the proper ones have necessitated the
convention being held on Thursday
night. 1t is expected that there viii
be full house OF boys, just boys, with
messages and talks that appeal to
boys.
The boys are doing a great work
throughout the country along the line
of Y NJ c. A support. In Twin Falls
the boys OF the high school raised
over nine hundred dollars All over
the United States the boys are re
spending heartily to this great call.
The prominent feature OF the BOYS
work is that they are not encouraged
to give nor to pledge money that is
not theirs by the right of earning it.
Thus it is that heretofore the boys
have not been especially appealed to.

the first of March next, every single
man or woman who makes $25 per
week must appear at the office of the
internal revenue collector in their dis
trict and make out schedule.
If he or she owns real estate, an
equity in a house, or is paying inter
est on any form of indebtedness, eX-
emption may be claimed. For in
stance. if the $25-a-week man owns
an equity in a residence, paying $3.50
as interest on his mortgage, 800 in
taxes and $50 more in water rents,
he will not be required to pay the
government any tax whatever.
In other words, his exemptions
would cancel the amount of his tax.
Where a man owns rented property
he may even claim exemption for the
money spent in repairs.

must be figured in determining what
amount is due the government This

that he gets what is coming to him.

way of taxable income that will es-
cape their attention.
