Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1917-07-27

(From Washington Dispatch by W.
w. Jermane to the Seattle Times.)
Major General George w. Goethals,
prior to his resignation as general
manager Of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, wrote letter to j. E.
Barnes, representative of the Seattle
Chamber Of Commerce at Washing
ton, D. c., inclosing kilograms he has
received from Aberdeen and Raymond
telling of labor troubles and asking
for federal assistance. He suggests
that Barnes do what he can to bring
about through the chamber of COM
merce series of conferences between
laborers and employers, If such con-
ferences can be arranged in a spirit
of fair play all around. General Goe-
thals believes existing labor troubles
in Washington state will settle them
selves speedily.
There has been a similar arrange
ment among shipbuilders of the At
lantic coast, who had been greatly i'm
peded by labor disputes. A couple OF
weeks ago there was a meeting in
this city of the Eastern shipbuilders
called by Goethals. The meeting was
attended by representatives of the
department of labor and other gov
eminent officials and plan was
worked out whereby shipbuilders
were to abandon the program of deal
ing with their men as individuals and
adopt free conferences and collective
bargaining. Since then labor troubles
in Eastern yards have practically dis
appeared.
1t is the opinion Of the government
officials that there will be no indus
trial revival in Washington state un-
til an understanding can be reached
between labor and capital similar to
that reached on the Atlantic coast.
should Better Conditions.
Among other things 1t is the opin-
ion of the of{icials referred to that
labor has not been given all that ID
coming to them in Washington state
Tho living conditions Of men In the
lumber camps and saw mill districts
are not satisfactory. Wages also are
probably too low in q number Of
cases. These conditions, It is pointed
out, must be bettered II there is to
be an industrial revival, such a. thu
state desires.
General Cocktails. while maintain

hesitate to admit in the present case
that the laborers probably have some
grounds for the complaints they have
been making.

 Then Cut Off Their Heads.

Al the beginning of the Chino-Japa- nese war, says a contributor to the Washington Star, one of our military attaches saw Chinese regiment take the field at a review and go through a very curious performance.
 The soldiers carried long bamboo poles like fishing rods and with these they rushed at one another yelling wildly aud making very queer gestures aGd grimaces.
 Whats the game?' asked the Amer ican
 That regiment" a Chinese general answered, lis one of our very oldest. Il Is now practiclng a form of assault that dates from prehistoric times. The ldea Is to trip the enemy up with the long wand, throw water in his face and. in the midst of his bewilderment at this extraordinary treatment, to cut off his head. ."-Youth's Compan- ion.
