The conference which was called by the

resolved unanimously that imports should
be limited only as far lack of tonnage
and the state OF exchange rendered abso

]. W. Sullivan's Reply to Request for
Exemption From Military
Service.

Suggestion that it would be interesting
, to know what prompted the adoption of
resolution by the California; Fruit Ex-
change asking the exemption of farm
ers as a class from military service is
! made in a sharp letter written by ]. W.
sullivan of the food administration. In
reply to one received from J. L. Maggie.
general manager of the fruit exchange.
Mr.. Sullivan asserts that the produce
handled by the exchange Is not an es-
sential food. such as wheat corn or
| meat. and that large part of the labor
! in California is alien and not subject to
the draft.
Should Not Mislead Public.
Continuing. he says:
la'No one citizen among us has the
right at this hour to take a single step
| which in the least degree may weaken
the prosecution of the war. No body of
men should mislead the public or claim
an undue privilege. And 1t is to be said
to the credit of the farmers as a class
throughout the United States that they
are not complaining. They are doing
their duty periodically. They are not
! holding mass meetings of protest or
passing resolutions not based on pre-
cisely stated facts or thoughtful de-

LOCAL BOY SCOUTS GET
OOFOR BOND ISSUE
One of Workers. on First Day of Or
ganization's Campaign. Has Mr..
Daniels on His List.

The first day of the nationwide cam
paign for the second liberty loan bond
issue which was inaugurated yester-
day throughout the country by the
Boy Scouts of America, resulted in the
local scouts obtaining subscriptions
amounting TO s1o.5oo. Most of the city
was canvassed by the boys yesterday
and it kept them hustling all day.
1t was said at headquarters of the
local council last night that the tota
of S1o,500 had been reached at . O'CLOCK
yesterday afternoon. Two thousand
dollar subscriptions were obtained dur
ing the afternoon by members of Troop
80. These scouts were Herbert Sanford
and Hamilton Handy. These were the
largest individual subscriptions turned
in by any scout on the first day OF the
campaign.
Granville Dickey of Troop 80 had the
distinction of having Secretary of the
Navy Daniels as his subscriber. He
caught the Secretary and succeeded in
obtaining a subscription from him.

Reports Come In Rapidly.

The boys came in so fast yesterday
with subscriptions that they kept H.
l.. TAYLOR. deputy commissioner of the
local council, who is in charge of the
local campaign, very busy entering and
recording the pledges and giving due
credit to the scouts who obtained them.
Much enthusiasm has been shown by
the scouts throughout the city. and
they are expected to work hard to
make the campaign a big success and
to excel the mark reached by them in
the work in behalf of the first liberty
bond issue. Some incentives offered in
the form of prizes are expected to
stimulate interest among the scouts.

modus operandi, collective bargain
ing. For years the men had toiled
without complaint, with no voice as
to their conditions of employment as
to wages, hours orr other labor con-
ditions. They had seen in other
great industries the principle of col
lective bargaining become established;
had noted that improved conditions
had resulted to the men and greater
stability to the industries. AS the
principle of the eight-hour day
spread through American industry it
lifted the whole structure of society.
Like the old woman who tried to
sweep back the incoming tide with
broom, the lumbermen are trying to
stem the oncoming tide of collective
bargaining by age-old sophistries.
This is the day and age of organized
effort. Old orders are passing.
Beliefs and practices that have been
rooted through the centuries are be-
ing torn up bodily through unseen
but powerful agencies functioning
through world necessities. All the
gold of the Romanoffs could not
stem the Russian revolution, and the
most ruthless dynasty the world has
ever known gave way to a republic.
Gar Nicholas is now a humble citi-
zen of the republic, with no more
governmental power than has the
simplest peasant in the land. He
stood in the way of progress and
was swept aside by the resistless tide
of democracy. Lumber barons, kings
for day, will they too find them
selves swept aside by the rising tide
of democracy which is finding ex-
preston in the organized labor move
ment of America?
