INDUSTRIES WILL Be
GIVEN SQUARE DEAL
NO ELIMINATION OF BUSI-
NESS WITHOUT HEARING.
Garfield Hopes Voluntary Econ
Omy Will Be Sufficient For
Fuel Conservation.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Arbitrary
elimination of industries regarded as
non-essential to save coal and rail
transportation will be undertaken
by the government only after every
business threatened has been given
full hearing.
This was made clear by Robert S.
Lovett, director of priority of trans
portation, and Fuel Administrator
Garfield in statements replying to the
recommendation of the railroad war
board that coal and transportation
be denied Immediately to more than
500 commodities.
Mr.. Lovett declared he contem-
plated no early action designed to
cut off transportation to any indus
try. He added, however, that con-
ditions might change, and that if the
shortage requires that coal be de-
med some industries, he will issue
at the request of DR.. Garfield. or
ders shutting down on shipments to
/ any industries.
Mr.. Lovett issued this statement
Lovett's Statement.

plating any further action with re-
spect to transportation of non-essen-

to open-top cars went as far as il
seemed wise to go in dealing with
that problem by restricting the
transportation of on-essentials.
Conditions. however. will be con.
stantly observed. Whether the Goa
shortage requires restriction of the
coal supply OF non-essential indus
tries is question for the fuel ad.
ministrator.
Il feel safe in saying that tn,
board will take no action designed
to eliminate any non-essential indus
tries without reasonable notice anC
an opportunity to be heard"

GERMANS ALMOST GET
j. S. CONGRESSMEN
AMERICAN PARTY TARGET
FOR MACHINE GUN FIRE
Nobody Was Hit But 1t Was
Freak of Nature Which the
Soldiers Call Luck.

British Front in Belgium.
Nov. 19.-Five members of the par
ty of American congressman and
private citizens who spent Saturday
and part of Sunday visiting the Bel
gian war zone, had a narrow escape
from death or injury when
they were caught in sudden
burst of German machine gun fire
while inspecting the front line
trenches near Dexmude.
The Americans in danger were
Congressman c. c. Dill, of Spokane,
Wash; Congressman Charles b.
Timberlake. of Colorado; Congress-
man John F. Miller, of Seattle
Wash; Congressman Albert John
son, of Washington, and former Re-
preventative Stout, of Montana.
Nobody Hit.
Nobody was hit, but it was one OF
those peculiar freaks Of nature
which soldiers call luck, for the
shots came in a shower, so close tC
them it seemed almost certain some
one must be wounded, although the,
were exposed only for a brief time.
The other seven members of the
party were in another section of the
| trench. and were not disturbed b,
the fire. Later, however, when al
the Americans were together. tn,
! Germans dropped a big shell som,
ten yards away, seriously endan
gering every one. One member, il
describing the incident to the cor
respondent later, said he and hi
companion heard the shell coming
1T sounded like the roar of an air
plane" he said.
Again fortune favored them ant
no one was injured.
Visit to Trenches.
The visitors spent the night nea
the front, and rose early this morn
ing for trip to the trenches in tn
vicinity OF DiXmude. The Belgian
and German lines run within thirt,
yards Of each other at one point. AM
1t was there that the five men cam
into danger. At that distance it i
easy to see any one in the opposit
trench who raises his head above tn
top. Only the usual firing was un
der way when the party reached thi
place.
The Americans were having a,
excellent view of the lines when sew
eral of them got into an exposes
position and were seen by the Ger
mans. Suddenly the enemy ma
chine guns nearby began a viciou
chatter, and bullets came whizzin
across the narrow strip OF No Man
Land at the rate OF several hundre,
a minute.
Bullets Whizzing BY.
Before the visitors realized tn
situation bullets were whining al
about them, like a storm of hail. an,
dirt was being thrown into thei
faces, as some Of the steel pellet
strucK the top OF the trench The
all bent down for cover, but al
might easily have been caught. sine
IT does not take more than a small
fraction of minute for a machin
gun to account for a number of mel
If the shooting is accurate.
The Americans departed for Eng
land. On arriving at the por
whence they sailed they said thei
trip to the Belgian front had beer
most satisfactory. They were es
pecially pleased at the invitation o
King Albert to take tea with him
The King made them feel very wei
come. and chatted freely with then
for some time. The American min
lister, Brand Whitlock, also was pres
ent at the invitation Of the King.

CLARA HOLLCRAFT PASSES
AWAY.

Miss Clara Hollcraft died at a hos
pital ia Seattle last week, as the
result OF relapse from an operation
for appendicitis The remains we're
laid to rest in Odd Fellows cemetery
in this city Sunday last.
The chapel was crowded with
friends of the young woman, among
them being large number of men,
bers of organized labor. The floral
pieces were numerous and beauti-
full. Olympia Trades Council, OF
which Miss Hollcraft was formerly
secretary-treasurer. and Typograph-
ical Union, of which her father has
been an active member for 40 years,
sent floral remembrance.
Miss Hollcraft's generous nature
and sunny disposition caused her to
be loved by many people. There are
many sincere expressions of sorrow
over her untimely death. She ex-
hibited rare fidelity to the profession
and practice of the principles of the
Labor Movement. Reared in a home
atmosphere full of belief in the Just
ness of trades union fundamentals,
she was inspired by example and pre-
cept, and this seed fell in fruitful
soil. In all seasons she could be de-

aral mediation board. The federal
commission then proceeded to me-
diate afresh. The result of the sec
ond mediation is that the company
will re-employ its old operators
within 80 days. The operators and
the public are awaiting the end of
the 30-day period, curious to learn
what new sort of fraud the company
will attempt The clause III the
agreement which the company vio-
lated is as follows:
"'All employees now on strike, or
those who ceased to work for the
company, or whose services were dis
continued because of the strike, who
report for duty within seven days
after this agreement becomes effect
i've shall be employed without dis
elimination. All such employees shall
retain for all purposes, including the
company's benefit plan, their former
standing the same as if there had not
been any break in their employment
during the strike.'"
Business Agent Young made his
weekly report. He was credited
with IA applications for membership
in local unions, the adjustment of
the grievance of the Meat Cutters
against local market. and other or
ganization work with new unions in
view. The business agent suggested
that an executive committee, made
up of member from each union
contributing to the business agent
fund, be chosen, the duties of this
committee to be to give advice and
assistance to the agent in the con-
duct of his work. In line with the
last named suggestion a motion was
adopted providing for such a COM
mittee.
The sum Of $40 was appropriated
for the benefit of local striking tele-
phone operators.
A motion of appreciation of the
activity Of Joe Forstell in trades
union work was unanimously adopt
ed by rising vote.
