In opening the recent convention OF
the United States chamber of COM
merce. President Rhett voiced warn
ing to business men that there is an
important part for them to play in
protecting America from foes that
threaten from within. Unrest has
arisen" he says, "by the distribution
of the great wealth that has come TO
the people of this country. 1t must
be reckoned with if industry and COM
merce are to go on under the private
initiation and leadership.
Otherwise the Bolsheyiki will appear
paralyZe all business. The
greed for wealth was rapidly creating
plutocracy as mighty and offensive
as any autocracy in history. To me
the highest mission of the chamber is
to put a soul into business. We no
longer see classes arrayed for conflict
but marching side by side in mutual
confidence to greater prosperity. :,
If social, economic and political
chambers of commerce and labor
unions begin to see the fact of the
existence of problems not mentioned
in their bylaws and constitutions. But
progress must be slow if they do not
dig beneath the surface and begin to

fore.
If social, economic and political con-
ditions were right there would be no
need of President Rhett's warning.
The real view when we look around
is not the classes that we see march
ing together, but the highest officers
of the government and the labor
unions and the business organizations
straining every nerve to pacify labor
and control business so the marching
may not interfere with the waging
of the war for the preservation of de-
mocracy.
We see business men puzZling their
best brains to make conditions safe for
private business; so safe that 80 per
cent of them shall not seek the bank
rupt court before they have fairly got
ten started in business. We see ex-
pensive and powerful and in some re-
spects vicious political organizations
fighting each other for the control of
government, each claiming their grand
and glorious machine to be the only
protection and salvation of the people
from restitution and disaster.
Business certainly needs soul, but
how can soul live in an organism
that worships business because it is
big and constantly reaching out for

A meeting being held by a newly
formed union of Smelter Workers,
affiliated with the International Union
of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers at
Florence, Colo, was broken up re-
Gently by the chief of police and a
committee claiming to represent the
"Home Defense League Association "
Later an attempt was made to break
up a similar meeting in Canon City.
Ben Goggin, general organizer for
the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers
Union, was in charge of both meet
ings. Most of the men are employed
in Empire and Ohio Smelling Com
pany plants at Canon City and River
Refining and Smelling Company at
Florence, the two towns being only
ten miles apart. Many of the en-
ployes are Mexicans, but all had ex-
pressed a desire to become members
of the union.
The reason given by the police off
cials and Defense League" for inter
fering was that they didn't want ANY
unions formed in Fremont county dur
| ing the war"
Organizer Goggin has written the
following statement of the Florence
affair:
editor Labor Bulletin, Denver, Colo.
Thursday, June 10, an open meet
| ing was called at the United Mine
Workers hall, Canon City, by giving
out hand bills with the following
words: Our boys are fighting in the
trenches across the sea for the world

trial democracy at home for the boys

"Now, brothers, read carefully the

yourself if there was any harsh in

the people of Canon City thought that

day, coming from the postoffice, the
secretary of the chamber of commerce
called at me and informed me that a
committee of citizens wanted to see
me. This committee was composed of
seven gentlemen, and the interview
took place at the chamber of COM
merce office, and the first question

other questions We're asked.
AT first | felt rather timid, but
only for few seconds, and when they
began to tell me that this is no time
to organize and why l should try to
organize at this time and why l did
not ask their permission to hold the
meeting, and many other stupid ques-
tions, my hair began to stick up and
my blood began to boil, and i asked
this committee under what law of rea-
son did they expect me to ask the
chamber of commerce or any other
association permission to hold a law
full and peaceable meeting? ! told
them that whenever lawyer, a doc
tor or any association saw fit to hold
meetings or to advance their fees,
they did so without consulting the
workers, and when the. Merchants
Association organize and hold meet
ings to advance the price of their mer-
chandise they never interview the
workers before advancing the price,

WAR LABOR BOARD
IT'S RELATION TO DEPARTMENT
OF LABOR
Secretary Wilson Issues Statement
Defining Duties as Judicial and
Court of Last Resort.

In view Of frequent inquiries con-
corning the official relation of the ma
tional war labor board to the depart
ment of labor, the following statement
is issued by the secretary of labor:
"The national war labor board is
an integral part of the department of
labor. 1t was appointed by the sec
rotary of labor in accordance with the
recommendation of the war labor con-
ference board, which drew up dec
laration of principles for industrial
operations in war industries. The
members of that commission were APP
pointed to membership on the present
war labor board. This action of the
secretary was confirmed and approved
by the President in proclamation on
April 8.
Duties Judicial
Briefly stated, the duties of the
board are judicial. Altho it is a part
of the department of labor, it's de-
Tcisions are uncontrolled. It is pri-
marily a court of last resort and does
not assume jurisdiction in any contro-
versy between employer and workers
in any field of industrial or other ac-
tivity where there is by agreement or
federal law means of settlement
Twelve Members.
"The board consists of twelve mem
bers, all of whom last month took the
oath of office. Five of its members
were appointed to represent the en-
ployers of the country and were origi-
nally nominated by the national indus
trial conference board. Five were ap-
pointed to represent employees and
were originally nominated to repre-
sent the American Federation of La
Dor. The other two members are for
mer President William H. Taft and
Frank P. Walsh, former chairman of
the federal industrial relations COM
mission. These latter act jointly as
chairmen to represent the public.
Employe and Employer.
"The. other members of the board
are:

"The present headquarters of the
board are in the main building of the
department of labor, 1712 G street,
Washington, d. C. w. Jet Lauck,
formerly of the bureau of labor sta
tistics, has been chosen the secretary
of the board. All inquiries concern
ing the work of the board should be
directed to him"

THE CONFLICT OF THE CLASSES
From the American Economic League.

something bigger? How can soul
remain alive under conditions where
business is viewed as conflict for the
control of the world by means of re-
strictive laws that give some men ad-
vantages over others? How can a
soul exist in a body that believes that
business is war to be carried on
with all the ruthless disregard for
justice and equity that characterizes
the war of the kaiser for conquest of
the world?
Greed for wealth is but the diseased
desire for something that is good and
necessary for the existence of man.
The disease is produced by privileges,
law created, that prevent the mass Of
mankind from access to the earth
from whence this wealth all comes.
Human institutions give power to
the few to take toll from the many
in a way that makes labor beggar
for the chance to work. Hence the
poverty which generates the greed
for wealth that creates the autocracy
that threatens.
Abolish the toll taking privileges
and the getting of wealth will be so
easy that greed would vanish and
there would be but one class in the
world-a class of free and equal men
and women, all finding such abund-
ant wealth coming to them from their
labor that the soul would revive in all
business, and all would cooperate to
do the things for the common good
that cannot be done by individual ac-
ton. But in such conditions all would
have to work and there would be no
class to look down upon another.

WAR is KILLING HUN UNIONS.

Recent information reaching this
country tells of the fearful inroads
being made on the German trade
unions. These details are furnished
by last reports: The number of labor
unions was reduced from TIL in 1918
to $50 in 1918. The membership of
the Berlin central labor body dropped
Hamburg's had $4,000 trade union
members in 1913, against $4,000 now;
Dresden's membership of 10000 was
cut in half. These figures will be food
for serious thought in the coming days
of peace, which may cause the ruling
classes of the kaiserland to think of
their own safety.

QUARANTINE LAWS

Inasmuch as no Lynden person, nc
matter how pocked or afflicted with
contagious disease ever pays the
slightest attention to quarantine laws
anyway, The Tribune this week takes
pleasure in quoting the statute with
the hope that perhaps some day q
few decent sanitary precautions may
be taken in the matter of spreading
disease through this district.
Here it is:
The following is from the code OF
public instruction, Title 3. Chapter
/, Sec. al, Contagious Diseases:
mo teacher, pupil or janitor shall
be permitted to attend school from
any house in which smallpox, vario-
loid, scarlet fever, diptheria, or any
other contagious or infectious dis
eases are prevalent. No teacher, pup

FREE TEXT BOOKS

The vote taken at the school ell
cotton Saturday on the question OF
free textbooks for the schools OF
Lynden, can hardly be considered sig,
nificant from any standpoint. The
question had not been discussed pub.
licly, little notice had been given OF
the proposal to ballot on the propos-
ition, and few had any definite in
formation about the matter.
With the present tax of the school
district at sixteen mills, an advance
this year of four mills, many thought
it unwise to saddle any more debt on
the district, irrespective of the mer-
it's of free text books.
The twenty-four votes cast against
the proposition should not be allow
ed to settle the question permanently
Rather it should be brought up again
shortly and given thorough public
hearing.

il or janitor shall be permitted to re-
turn to school from any house where
the above mentioned diseases, or any
form of them, have prevailed, until
three weeks shall have elapsed from
the beginning of the convalescence of
the patient, or upon the certificate of
a registered physician in good stand
ing that there is no danger of contag-
ion In case of whooping cough,
chicken pox and measles, certified by
physician to be not of malignant
character, this rule shall not apply
to teachers, pupils or janitors who
have had the diseases and have en-
tirely recovered from them:
Provided, that no teacher, pupil or
janitor can attend school or be en-
ployed who is afflicted with pulmon-
airy tuberculosis"
