Automobile Shop which has signed
with the Machinists.
Delegate Overman presented the
following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved, that more equable in
come and excess profits revenue bill
is possible than the present statute.
Therefore we urge our representa-
tives and senators in congress to
amend the present measure. We
believe that an so per cent tax
on all net revenues over and above
the pre- war average is desirable.
Example: Under the present pro-
visions, a married man without a
family who has a net income of
$4,000 a year, pays an income tax
of $3.50; he keeps the remaining
$44,820. Under its provisions a mil
lion dollar corporation which Melted
$4,000 a year before the war, and
which now nets 100000, pays tax
of 1854, 200, and keeps the remain
ing S345,S00. That means this
corporation makes almost 400 per
cent more than it did in normal
times.
as this bearing a fair share of
the wars privations and sufferings?
Compare the sacrifice made by the
$4,000 year man and the 100000
a year corporation with that of the
poor man. Already England has
tax of 80 per cent on all net profits
over and above the pre- war aver
age. In the case of the corpora
ton mentioned by me, the profits
tax in England would be $344,000
instead of the S154,20O collected by
our Revenue Bill (if, indeed, it can
be collected at ALL.
The Council adjourned.

hind it, and he added that labor
was prepared to go on with the war
until all the conditions insisted upon
for a permanent peace were met.
James Ramsay Macdonald, Social
ist member of parliament, said that
the next step of labor and Socialism
was to bring the matter before the
German and Austrian people.
The program as adopted CORE
spends in general to the declarations
of President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George. 1t has the support
of the Socialist and Labor, parties
of England, France, Italy, Belgium,
Portugal, Rumania and South Africa.
Russians Agreed
The Socialist revolutionary, or
Minimatist, Russians, telegraphed an
Endorsement of British labor's war
aims and added that they had tried
to send delegates to London, but
that Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik
foreign minister, had refused pass
ports.

SHIP
SITE SECURED
LAST MONDAY

The shipyard site contracted for
last Monday is something over 1000
feet south of the Junction which is
located a short distance below Wey-
erhaeuser Mill A. The Herald of
last Monday says:
The decision of the people behind
the concrete ship plant to locate in
Everett is the result of the efforts
of the Commercial Club, committee
of which was able to interest the
company in Everett and also arrang-
ed for a suitable site for the plant.
The site chosen comprises over a
thousand feet of deep-water front
age. Through the generosity Of the
owners an option has been obtained
on this frontage for less than 5000.
Messrs. Winter and Brodeck, who
were especially active in the matter,
relying on the patriotism of the
citizens to back them up, gave their
personal contract to the contract
ship people that a deed for this
property would be placed in escrow,
and delivered to the company, at
such a time as the company shall
have completed within two years,
two 5,000-ton vessels at a cost of
100000. 1t is expected that the
boats will be built in eight months.
1t is believed that the money to pay
for the site will readily be advanced
by the citizens, and Spear and his
associates agree, when they get their
deed to the land to pay for it, either
by turning over stock in their COM
pany of the par value of $4,000, or
by paying $4,000 in cash at their
option.
Concrete ships are a novelty in the
marine world, although they are in
use to some extent in Norway wa
tiers, and there are some concrete
bargcs in use at the Panama canal.
Several concrete ships are now being
built in California. The ships of
this class to be built in Everett
viii be 46G feet long. The walls of
these vessels alc built of concrete,
reinforced with steel on the same
plan as used in modern buildings,
the walls being eight inches thick al
the upper edge and IS inches thick
at the keel, They are said to be
lighter than steel ships of the same
capacity. If the side of a concrete
vessel is punctured from any cause it
is claimed that a clean-cut hole is
left which can be patched up with
out great difficulty, as contrasted
to the widespread wrenching to the
construction of a steel ship caused
by a similar mishap.
In order to secure better facilities
for pouring the concrete materials.
the hull Of the boat is built upside
down ana it rights itself when
launched

TOLERANCE
AND REASON

d. +. Skinner, of the Skinner &
Eddy Corporation spoke at the Hip
podrome in Seattle last Sunday, ad-
dressing the relatives of American
Soldiers and Aviators who were as
sembled there to dedicate them
selves to whole-hearted war service
of their country.
On the question of labor conscrip-
ton Mr.. Skinner said:
q am amazed to hear any talk
of conscription of labor. l tell you
the government had best conscript
US first.
There is no need for strikes, be
cause there is not a difference be-
tween employer and employee which
cannot be adjusted if tolerance is
shown"
The corporation of which Mr..
Skinner is the head employs 5000
men in Seattle in the construction
of steel ships for the government.
The Seattle star says:
because the Skinner & Eddy cor
poration has set a world record for
speed in construction of ships for
Uncle Sam, his advice on giving la
Dor a fair deal should be absorbed
by other employers in the North
west. The way to get fair treat
ment from labor is to give labor
fair treatment. Forward-seeing en-
pIoyers have learned that"
The Stars statement is full of
truth and reason. Skinner & Eddy
run a "closed shop" shipyard and
have exceeded the speed record for
steel shipbuilding Of any open shop
concern on this mundane sphere,
nutty statements regarding speed in
Oregon shipyards to the contrary

Right Kind.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-The interal-
lied labor and Socialist conference,
which ended its session here today,
has accepted the war aims program
as enunciated by British trades
unions December %, and the next
step probably will be the calling of
an international conference at an
early date, including both labor and
Socialism.
At luncheon given today in hon
or of the foreign delegates to the
conference, Arthur Henderson, for
mer member of the war cabinet and
a leader of the Independent Labor
party, described these aims as mean
ing the establishment of a league
of nations, involving international
cooperation for disarmament and
the prevention of warfare in the fu-
ture, the restoration of Belgium,
Serbia, Rumania and Montenegro
and only territorial changes in the
future based on justice and right.
Peace of People

Der, among the three departments

as requested, as nearly as possible,
assigning three cases to Judge Grif-
fin, three to Judge Dunno and two
to myself, which was as near an equal
distribution as could be made with
the number of indictments involved.
You will recall, Mr.. Ferrari, that |
said to you at that time that | did
not want to hear the first, because
was then engaged in a rather siren
uous political campaign, but | eX-
planned that | wanted to do my en-
tire share of the work and would
be ready to take my usual turn after
the campaign. The first case was
heard before Judge Dunno, the sec
ond in Judge Griffin's department,
and | fully expected that the third
trial would be heard in this depart
ment. 1t was not. Judge Sea-
well, sitting for Judge Dunno, pre-
sided at the third trial and also the
fourth, and there has never been one
case heard in this department. 1t has
come to me, Mr.. Ferrari, that there
is no desire on the part of the Dis
trict Attorney to have any of these
cases tried in this department. l
have also heard that there is an
opinion prevalent that | am against
capital punishment. But this is
not the fact, and there is no founda-
ton for such a belief"
As he concluded this statement,
Judge Cabaniss brought down his fist
heavily on his desk and looking at
Ferrari he said, SIS there any reason
why the prosecution doesn't want
me to try this case? If there is tell
me-
"There is nothing personal in it
ut ALL" answered Ferrari ut seems
hat there is a misunderstanding"
The judge pounded the desk again.
There is no possibility of a mis-
understanding, Mr.. Ferrari," he shot
back
Thus it appears the "Frame-up"
was not satisfied with any judge I'M
less he was hostile to the defend
ants and Judges Dunno and Sea-
well were certainly that
Ferrari persisted in making OBJ
lection to the starting of the trial.
He limited about a mysterious af-
fidavit he had and one he filed some
two months ago, and threw in an
other remark about his scattered
witnesses" AS a last resort he
dragged in the Mooney appeal.
at is useless to keep the defend
ants in jail waiting. for executive
action which might never be taken"
ruled the court, "and under the
circumstances the order of this court
is that the case be set down for

airy 25th, which will be the earliest
date we can hope to get a return

Attorneys Nate Coghlan, Thos M.
