SUPREME SQUIRT
NULLIFIES LAWS

James McCabe, fraternal delegate
to the State Federation Convention
from the B. of L. f. of Seattle, in
a speech before that body last Tues
day, said that labor could elect all
the legislators of the state and pass
all the laws for the protection of
the workers that could be imagined
and they would come to naught be-
cause five men-"count them on the
fingers of one hand unless you are
shngleweaver'- absolute, au-
tocratic power, as majority of the
supreme court of the United States,
to interpret those laws as they see
fit.
Mr.. McCabe told of the passage
Of the Sherman antitrust law, and
pointed out that no one has gone to
jail under that law but workingmen.
lie told of the st. German case in
this state, in which the Supreme
Court Cf the state ruled against
picketing, though the vast body of
decisions in state courts are the 9TH
or way. And here he incidentally
touched on the fact that j. Stanley
Webster, one of the judges who
wrote the St. Germain decision, is
trying to make the world safe for
democracy by running for Congress
on the Republican ticket, and a
voice called from the floor-"with
his expenses paid by the employers
association" Many other cases which
proved the absolute necessity for
labor controlling the courts were
told by the Seattle engineer, who is
also an attorney, and he closed his
address with an eloquent plea for
joint, effective and united political
action on the part Of all organized
workers.

GARDEN CITY MONITOR
QUITS BUSINESS

The Garden City Monitor, official
organ of the Walla Walla Trades
and Labor Council, owned and pub
lished by Jesse Ferney, discontinued
publication last Friday. Bro. Fer
ney steps down gracefully and says
that he does it because eve real
ize that the paper could have been
improved in many ways, but have
never been able to see where enough
financial support could be secured
to warrant additional expenditure. y
Bro. Ferney will devote his whole
time in the future to the conduct
of his job printing business at the
"Quick Print" in which office the
Monitor was published.
We are sorry to lose the Monitor
from the field and hope it will not
be long until Walla WalIa labor will
have another mouthpiece in the
field.

THESE THREE GOOD
RESOLUTIONS PASS

The State Federation of Labor
adopted the following three resolu-
tons:
Resolutions urging the fullest pos
sible participation in political affairs
and irstructing the executive board
to appoint a woman organizer
matters which in previous conven-
tions have opened the floodgates of
oratory-were adopted without de-
bate or objection.
A resolution providing for uni
forms for high school children, in
troduced by the delegates from the
Everett Label League, was changed
by the committee to urge dress uni
formity, and after considerable de-
bate adopted
A resolution demanding that the
system Of insurance for soldiers and
sailors be extended during the war
to workers in essential war indus
tries was adopted after an unsuc-
cessful attempt on the part of Dele
gate Ed 7. Levi to have the words
Essential war industries" stricken,
so the measure would apply to all
workers.

SKAGIT POWER SITE

ABERDEEN, June 27-The Wash
ington State Federation Of Labor
will back up the city of Seattle in
its fight for the right to develop
the Skagit River power site and sell
the power generated there to com.
munities along the transmission line
The convention adopted the follow
ing resolution, introduced today by
Councilmen T. II. Bolton and Robert
b. Hesketh, of Seattle, both of whom
are delegates to the convention
The resolution was adopted with
out a dissenting vote and puts be
hind the Seattle project the strength
of the 100000 workers organized
into the State Federation:
Whereas, The private ownership of
public utilities has become a serious
menace to this state and nation;
and
Whereas, The present laws of our
state are such as to interfere with
the distribution of light and power
outside city limits of plants owned
and controlled by municipalities; and
Whereas, The city of Seattle is
now engaged in the development Of
the Skagit River power site, which
when completed will very material
ly help Skagit, Whatcom, Snohomish
and King Counties, as these coun-
ties are contiguous to the transmits
sion line; there be it
Resolved, By the Washington State
Federation Of Labor, in convention
assembled, representing over 100000
wol kers in our state, that we pledge
our hearty cooperation to the city
Of Seattle in demanding the pas
sage of such legislation as will en-
able municipality owned public utili-
ties to supply light and power in
any part Of the state; and be it
further
Resolved That it is the sense of
this convention that every effort be
made to secure the election of mem
| bers to the next legislature who will
! favor the enactment of such laws as
above mentioned.

THE FARMERS HAVE
SAY IN CONVENTION

William Bouck, master of the State
Grange, and George P. Hampton,
legislative, representative of the
grange at Washington, d. c., made
short addresses.
Hampton spoke first and paid a
glowing tribute to c. B. Kegley,
former master of the Washington
State Grange, who died since the
last convention of the federation,
declaring him to be one Of the
greatest democrats of the age.
Hampton said that the joint legis-
lative action between the organized
farmers and the organized wage
workers, worked out in Washington
largely by Kegley, was being ex-
tended to ether states and would
ultimately give the actual producers
control of the nation. He said the
Eastern coast had come to look
upon Washington as one of the
most forward looking states of the
nation, and was all the more
shocked on that account at the
treatment the Grange had received
at Walla Walla, when their conven-
ton had been driven out of that
city He said the farmers were
back Of Wilson in his fight for de-
mocracy, and urged still greater CO.
operation between labor and the
farmers.
William Bouck opened with the
statement that the farmers had
pledged to our president and our
country all that they have, both
in man power and in wealth, for
the purpose Of bringing democracy
into power not only across the
waters, but in this land Of ours as
well. He said the Walla Walla
outrage had been engineered by
the same forces that have been
variously known as the Stop-Look-
Listen League, Lock Box 40 of Sc
attic; Farmers Protective League;
Employers Association, and other
high sounding titles, all of which
mean opposition to the progress of
the producers. The joint legisla-
tive committee of the organized
farmers and the organized labor
movement had thrown great fear
into the hearts of these forces and
it was in an effort to drive a
wedge into the coalition that the
attack had been made. However,
they did not succeed, for there was
never a time in the history of the
Grange when it was in better shape
and more ready for fight to a
finish than now. This statement
brought forth prolonged applause.
Bouck went on to say the farm
ers merely desired to get for their
wives some of the things the wives
of the exploiters enjoyed, and be-
cause they wanted these things
they were called seditious and dis
loyal. He pointed out the need
OF the initiative measures, and closed
with the hope that the work the
producers had begun together
would be finished together.
President Short, in response, said
the greatest friend of the Kaiser in
America are those persons who in
stigated the outrage against the
farmers at Walla Walla. The bonds

LIVE AND LET LIVE

Labor's Emergency Liberty League
raises, in its advertisement else
whore in this issue, a question con-
corning the right to drink, or not
to drink, which appears to delve
deep. The point raised is, briefly,
that while the Prohibtionist scruples
not to deprive the workingman of
his glass of beer or wine, the work
ingman has no mind to retalate in
kind. Nor is this all. Should
it be proposed that abstainers be
compelled to quit their tea or coffee
for beer or wine, these same work
ingmen would be among the first
to defend them in their right to say
for themselves what shall be their
beverages.
This is the spirit of tolerance, the
spirit of good will, and being such
it is of the essence Of liberty Con-
cede that the motives of such alb
stainers as would by force of law,
rather than by precept and example,
make all others abstainers, are not
to be impeached; concede that their
prohibitory ideas are in themselves
good, and that men could be made
teetotalers by law; but is there not
something higher, something of
greater i'm Ortance to SOcietv2 As
suredly. And that something is
liberty, the right of every Individual
member of society, subject, however,
to its complete deprivation if in
grave measure he abuse it, to be
the captain of his own soul.
Better England free than England
sober, declared a famous English
Bishop; and who will not agree that
in so saying he plumbed the very
depths of the question?

SENATE is ON JOB
FIXING WHEAT PRICES

The question of wheat prices is
worrying the heads of our august
solons in the U. S. Senate. All
those senators who represent wheat
sections want the price raised to
help them politically; those repre-
senting the producers of other ne
cessities, such as war materials, etc,
want the price to remain stationary
or lowered; the few who represent
all the consumers want the price
lowered; the farmers and consum-
ers of their products are between the
devil and other devils and will have
to pay the freight"
The farmers are willing to take
less for their wheat if Congress will
choke off the profiteers in all com
modities. They are patriotic, but
object to being shouldered with more
than their share of the burdens Of
war. That's about how matters stand
with regard to the greatest food
essential.

WILSON HAS VETOED
ANOTHER BIG BILL

President Wilson last Monday We
toed the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill on &C
count of the rider increasing the
time of government clerks to eight
hours per day,
In his message he said that at
the beginning of the war the dec
laration was made that there should
be no change in conditions unfavor-
able to laborers and that ne did not
feel justified in asserting to a
measure in which the United States
made such change.
The House sustained the veto by
a vote Of more than two to one.
This is another argument against
attaching riders to appropriation or
any other bills.
Every proposed legislative meas
ure should stand on its own merits
or fall for the lack of them.
A constitutional measure prohibit
ing riders would be a good thing 1t
would enforce honest legislation and
gag to a great extent the congress
sional jawsmiths.

PLEA FOR EQUAL PAY
FOR EQUAL WORK

Last Tuesday Mrs. Frances King
Headlee, secretary Of the Industrial
Welfare Commission, was the first
speaker of the day to the Washington
State Federation of Labor conven-
ton and made an interesting adj
dress on the work of the state
body, answering many questions and
urging that all concerned get better
acquainted with the rulings of that
commission and the eight-hour and
other protective legislation for the
women and children of the state.
Mrs. Headlee made an eloquent plea
for equal pay for equal work" of
women with men, and said that the
silver lining in the war cloud, if
there is a silver lining, was the
fact that woman is coming into
her own as the respected helpmeet
of man and not as his despsed com
petition for a job. She declared the
present war to be a woman's war,
and that woman must do her own
work as well as a great deal of
mans work, and all must see to it
that in doing this she does not get
over-ambitious and attempt to do
more than she is physically able to
do, and still function BEAUTIFULLY as
the mother of the race.
Mrs. Hcadee asserted that the
commission needed more power and
more funds in order to do its work
properly and asked the aid of the
convention in making its work more

est employees until they have piled
up the damnedest mountain of legal
junk the world ever saw. And while
piling up this useless and harmful
product they have allowed the ju-
dicial and executive engineers to in
terfere with their work without even
making a weak protest. True the
Legislative engineers have sputtered
little and then settled back into
the habit of fixing things to suit
the executive and judicial engineers
and the privileged classes.
The owners of these engines should
seize their opportunity after the war
to make extensive repairs or build
new engines.

The judicial engine has been bat

O'SHAUGHNESSY
ENDORSES SEATTLE'S
SKAGIT POWER SITE

Seattle's efforts to free herself
from the grasp of private corpora
tons seem in a fair way to be
crowned by success. NJ. NJ. O'Shangh-
messy, the noted hydraulic engineer
and city engineer of San Francisco,
who recently examined the Skagit
River, power site, gave it his I'M
qualified endorsement. Mr. O'Shangh-
messy said:
81 would say the Skagit has more
than ten times the power of the
Cedar River. The water is there,
and the granite walls of the can
yons mean that water-tight dams
can be constructed. Its accessibility
is comparatively simple, and roads
could be built in for development
work within six months, compared
to the so miles of railroad we had
to build to develop the Hetch Hetchy
water power for San Francisco"
Let us hope that all Puget Sound
cities may congratulate one another
on their progress made ere many
years pass by and swell with civic
pride over their municipal achieve
ments in making desirable places for
all men to live and do business. A
town owned by all is better than a
town owned by few.
