These are men who realize that
the unlawful element is continu-
ally on the job to defeat the
plans of our country, and they
know that this element can be
handled better by the men they
work with day by day, when those
who are loyal to the country are
acting as a completely recognized
organization. There will be few
who will doubt this statement il
they will but look at what has
been done in the shipbuilding in

Union men.
AS an organization, these men
believe that the greatest efficien-

collectively; and they point out

There being no homes in Ia

especially soldiers wives with
children. is something that Taco
mans should be ashamed of.

ton IL children are out of style?
1t is my idea that something
should be done about this. How
much better it would look and
how much more patriotic it would
be to put Families with children

Is 1t right for men to fight for
the protection of people who con-
slider their property too good to
have the soldiers wife and babes
in?
These people who forbid fami-
lies with children to rent their
homes should be placed in the
same class with food profiteers,
and punished. They are helping to
run down our population and con-
sequently hurting our country.

their constitutional right to deal

They are asking for a privilege

the utter hopelessness of trying to

THE STATEMENT

At the present time many of
Tacoma s citizens are watching
the new smelter union, and they
are not alone In their watching,
for in fact the entire Northwest is
taking interest In the work of this
one of the newest organizations in
the state.
In the not far distant future,
on account of the industry that is
being organized to the highest
possible point, 1t Is not at all i'm
probable that the eyes of indus
try turnout the country will be
turned in this direction.
Perhaps a little information
would be appreciated at this time.

but there was every indication that
both officials, as We'll as President
Wilson, who has been consulted, feel
that the purpose sought can be ac-

embargoes now in force.
At the conclusion Of the conference
the following statement was issued
jointly by DR.. Garfield and Mr.. Nc

McAdoo.Garfield Statement.
I'VE have had under consideration
the question Of suspending the Mon
day closing order. We have not
reached final conclusion about it.
We shall have another conference
when the results Of the Monday
closings and Of the railroad embargoes
up to that time can be fully consider
ed, and shall be able TO make an an

Ten heatlcss Mondays were decreed
by the fuel administration January II
as measure to save coal and to re-
lieve railroad transportation. The
Monday holidays were preceded by a
fve-day industrial shut down at the
close Of which eastern railroads at the
direction Of Director McAdoo, put
on embargoes against tlRe movement
Of general freight.
The Monday closing has brought the
most vigorous opposition from com

too, have opposed it as have the own
