FOR THE RED. WHITE AND BLUE

If citizen true you be.
Then you'll fight on land or sea
And risk your life your country to save:
For you'd rather see n fight
Led by folks with all their might
Than to see them try Old Glory to
slave.
In the ficrcest of the fight
You'li not stop to think who's right,
But VIII fight with courage, strong
and trueI
And when YOU see we've won
And your fighting days are done
Then you'll shout and cheer for the
Red. White and Blue.

The supreme court based its de-

contended, are prohibited. under the
decision. to blacklist employees. EN-

written by Judge Mount, therefore

"Mr. Franklin promised to fur

tho demand for arbitration was
withdrawn by the six men, and new
demands made by the 10 organiza-
lions representing all crafts en-
ldoyed by the company and at tho
same time expressing willingness
TO arbitrate.
Tacoma street car employees had
Joined the same organizations, and
as they were working for the
same corporation. It was under
stood that they would await the
outcome of arbitration In Seattle.
Forty men in Seattle and seven In
Tacoma were fired for joining
their respective unions.
Most OF these were put back TO
work in Seattle. but none in Ia
coma, and failure TO reinstate the
balance OF these men was thus
the sole cause of the strike. Tho

Bad Ammunition.

Our munitions scandal comes early in
the war. But it may turn out to be very
minor matter after ALL One-third of the
ammunition sent with the Pershing
forces to France proves defective and
must be replaced. Fortunately, the
American troops are not yet in action
and the ammunition on hand is presum-
ably sufficient for them when they get
TO the trenches, until a new supply can
be sent. The read importance Of the
matter lies in the fact that there was
any defective ammunition at all. There
must be no more bad powder or defec-
tive shells. 1t is distressing to find that
there has been any. OF course. an in
quiry Of the most searching character
will be set on foot-has probably al
ready been started The cause of the
blunder must be found and Immediately
remedied. Is il case of uncomfortable
chemical reaetion7 Or is it case of in
competence somewhere? Or is it case
OF mischievous manipulation at the rou-
milton plants! There should be no diff
tculty in aseertaining just what caused
this defect, and less difficulty in insnr-
ing against repetition

A Deserved Compliment.

A handsome and we'll deserved com
pliment is paid to Maj Oliver Newman
in his designation as marshal of the first
division Of tomorrow's parade in honor
Of the men chosen to represent the Dis
trict of Columbia in the National Army.
Maj. Newman demonstrated a fine spirit
of patriotism when he left civilian
office for the labors of an officers in
struction camp. He proved his worth
and won his commission in a severe com
petition. He is now on duty at camp
of instruction and will without doubt
demonstrate his high quality as com
mander of men and as a soldier in the
service that lies before him. His per-
sonal popularity has been enhanced by
his sacrifice of comfort and compensa-
ton in the country's cause. and this as
signment to command the division of
the parade comprising the President of
the United States, the national legisla-
ture and the citizen soldiers in embryo
in whose honor the parade has been or
ganized is a happy inspiration and will
be generally applauded by the COM
munity.
