LABOR PUTS ITSELF
IN WRONG LIGHT.

The labor leaders of this state are
placing organized labor in a bad light.
They openly uphold every criminal
who is indicted if he happens to be-
Icing to the ranks of organized labor,
placing themselves above the highest
courts of the country. The calling of
strikes in government war work with
out even giving chance for complete
negotiations shows how unpatriotic
these leaders are, and how indiFer-
ent they are to the welfare of the
country. These INSCRIPTIONS men
have nothing but sneers for govc m
ment requests and regulations. They
should be drafted into military SER
vice This would be balm to tie
worried spirits of all loyal citizens,
the majority of workingmen included.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-09-13
AMERICAN BOLSHENIkIS

Three hundred shipbuilders of the
Sommarstrom Shipbuilding Company
of St. Helens, Oregon, went out on a
strike because the company refused
to fire one of the owners and hire a
union man in his place. The man
they demanded be discharged is one
of the four brothers owning the
place, and who, because of the present
labor shortage was serving as fore
man. The yard is engaged on gov
eminent work. Such a strike as this
deserves no liberation on the part of
the government. The new work or
fight amendment, which provides that
men who go out on strike will not be
indicted into military service provid-
ed they return to work to await arhi-
tration, will compel such fellows to
return to their jobs or go to the front.
They should be given short shrift. So
far it has not been determined how
long these fellows may stay out.
There is no such thing as fair
strike in war times, but since strikes
have not been declared illegal during
the war, the next best thing is to
limit the time these men stay out to
Il very few hours.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-09-13

out the world still has to have a few
managers, bank presidents and gener-
al executives. They are even little
more important than the laboring
man. Turn the laboring men loose to
run things and see what happens
we have to do is to turn our eyes TO-
ward Russia.
Any workingman who has the true
ability and desire can soon work in
to a white-collar job if he wants it
though in these days of high wages
for labor, most laboring men are bet
ter off financially where they are.
1t it well to remember, however
that managers are as necessary tC
the winning Of the war as laborers.

DINNER BASKET JOBS.

So many sneers have lately been
cast at the "white-collar- lob" that
some people become obsessed with a
mild hysteria on the subject, and
shout that there should be only two
classes of men these days; those in
khaki and those we wear oveialls,
grease stains and carry dinner bask-
kets. All honor to the man with the
calloused hands of course, for he is
helping win the war by hard labor,
