STATE FEDERATION EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE MEETS.

The executive committee of the
State Federation of Labor met in
Tacoma November 26, according to
program, and acted upon several
matters, one of the questions being
of particular interet to local trasdes
unionists.
As directly affecting local people
was the action pledging assistance
to the Shipyard Laborers in settle
ment of jurisdiction lines. President
C. B. Young of this city and w. T.
Morris of Seattle appeared before
the executive committee in behalf of
the Shipyard Laborers as representa-
tives of the district council Of that
union. The delegates went into the
matter of overlapping Of jurisdiction
as between the Laborers and other
unions In the shipbuilding industry.
The executive committee was favor
ably impressed with the showing
made by the delegates, and instruct
ed the Federation officials to render
such assistance as may be In their
power In adjustment of the questions
at issue.
Other motions adopted by the
committee were as follows:
A motion to heartily indorse the
efforts being put forth by the Seattle
Union Record to establish daily
newspaper and urging upon all or
ganized labor the fullest financial
support OF the project.
Adoption of resolution on the
subject OF Chinese labor.
The operation of the minimum
wage law. the inadequacy of the ex-
listing minimum wage for women and
girls, and the lack Of sufficient legis-
|lative appropriation, were discussed
with the state industrial welfare
commission. A motion was adopted
to hold further conferences with the
commission at later date, the COM
mission meantime to seek legal adj
vice on points OF the law. The as
|sistance and cooperation Of the ex-
|ecutive committee and local unions
was pledged.
The secretary read letters from
attorneys to the effect that there was
!no opportunity or prospect Of APP
|pealing state supreme court labor
Injunction decisions Of recent months
to the United States court. The attor-
neys gave 1t as their opinion it was
to get such cases before
the United States supreme court be-
lcause there had been no interstate
commerce involved, hence lack Of
jurisdiction. A motion was adopted
that the use of injunctions in labor
disputes. the usurpation of power by
the judiciary, etc., be made a prin-
cipal issue in the 1918 campaign,
and, II need be, legislation to remedy
existing injunction evils be initiated.
A motion was adopted to indorse
the attitude of the American Fedora
