AN UNJUSTIFIED STRIKE.

The business world. the professional world, the
everyday world has use for person who can
not keep agreement, and rightly 50. Of course
Those members of the local ship carpenters
and joiner> union responsible for the strike
which called at the Sloan Shpyard last Fri
day afternoon and which is still in progress have
put their union in the unfortunate position of
having violated two specific agreements, one
signed by their Pacific Coast representatives by
express authority with the Macy commission, the
other made directly by themselves last Thursday
evening at special meeting with Henry Mcbride,
the special representative of that commission in
this district They therefore being rightly sub
jected to the public censure of this commu-
nifty and We hope it has been sufficient to convince
them and all the other unions in Olympia if they
need it, that union has got to keep its word just
the same as individual.
The Imperative need for ships has become so
forcibly impressed upon the public mind and is so
vigorously expressed by our government, England
and France, that the public brooks no interior
ence with ship construction through strike over
a condition which is insignificant when
pared to the nations great necessity. And the
pubic is especially impatient when the procedure
for the settlement of any differences is set forth
so clearly as it is in the Macy decision and the
union as party to that document has agreed to
follow that course. Even if that did not operate,
as it does, the specific agreement made with Me-
diator Mcbride last Thursday night not to take
any hasty action or any action whatever until the
meeting set for Thursday night of this week, CIV
ing him an opportunity to consult the Macy COM
mission in the meantime certainly did cover the
situation and makes particularly discreditable the
position in which the union placed itself when the
men were called off the job last Friday afternoon,
hardly fifteen hours after that agreement had
been made
The trade union movement will swiftly lose
whatever measure of public sympathy it has now,
if such tactics as these continue. These United
States Of ours are bigger than any union, their
needs vastly superior to those Of any union, and
the public demands consideration for those needs
first.
The only manly thing, the only honest thing,
the only patriotic thing the ship carpenters can
/ do is to 60 back to work And they can't do it
too soon

OUR OPINIONS.

The mere fact that some article or story or
communication or resolution is published in the
news columns of this newspaper does not mean
that it expresses the opinion of this newspaper
on whatever subject it covers. Quite the con-
trary may be true - it frequently and naturally
is. 1t ought not to be necessary to say that, yet
there appear to be some here who are so narrow
or prejudiced in their views as to require its
repetition.
When we have any opinions to express on any
thing we put them here in big type in these two
columns ~ we don't try to hide or cover them up,
or to pervert our news columns with '.colored'
stories Of any happenings. What you here
are our comments on what is going on; what you
see in the news columns are reports of what is
going on And there's all the difference in the
world between them one is opinion, own
opinion; the other is news, and frequently as
news is somebody s else opinion.
And to make position as clear as we know
how to state it, by citing specific example the
news articles and discussions that appear in the
special labor department on the opposite page
have no bearing whatever upon the policy Of this
newspaper. They are published, as is plainly
stated, upon the authority Of the Olympia Trades
Council and report the activities and, we presume,
IA large measure represent the opinions Of the
6ight or nine hundred union men of this city.
That large proportion Of our population--and
he number il considerably larger when their fam
H. and friends are included-is entitled to a
special medium Of expression, place where they
- report their activities and present their side
~ my question, for the information of the whole
pubaic. And the public ought to have that infor-
Mn, = they will know oil that is going on.

WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT
: IN THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO !

'
From The Washington Standard for
Saturday Morning, February *,
1858. Vol. VIII. No. Is.
A private letter to friend in this
place, dated January End, brings
good news from the mines in Carl
boo. On Mosquito Gulch the claims
are yielding large dividends and a
strike has been made on Canadian
Greek which promises to make that
q paying creek.
There is considerable excitement
at Port Discovery over quartz lead
back Of Dungeness, the quartz from
which is said to yield 5000 per ton.
A large mail is. expected tonight,
the first instalment OF the accunu-
lation ofSnearly two. months at the
Portland Office.
The weather has been mild and
pleasant the past week. The snow
has disappeared.
Change of partnership--We learn
that, Messrs. Ward & Cooper of Tum-
water and VIM. Mitchell OF this place
have consolidated their business and
will hereafter be known under the
name Of Ward. Mitchell & Cooper.
This change affords new facilities to
these gentlemen for the accommoda-
ton OF their patrons.

At last something definite appears to be evolv-
ing out Of all the discussions and meetings and
arguments we have had over the road bond issue
at least something definite upon which we will
have an opportunity to express an opinion at
special election soon In view of the demand that
has come from many sides, the commissioners are
rightly presenting the six-hundred- thousand dol
lar plan for the consideration and decision Of the
voters of this county. Whether the plan itself
merits adoption, whether the voters will want
to adopt it, are points that remain to be devel-
oped Most Of us don't know anything about it.

How many Thrift Stamps or War Savings
Stamps have you bought9 Or your children
boughta While all the while we may be helping
the government, this ''baby bond" plan is an
ideal way in which to encourage the youngsters
to save Give them chance to do it-encourage
them and cooperate with them and show them
how they, too, can do their bt'' by saving their
pennies and nickels. And it's small savings-the
saving of nickels and dimes and quarters-that
the government seeks to encourage through the
sale Of Thrift Stamps. Apply the general plan to
yourself-convert your family into Thrift club
and save systematically.

SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE.

We haven't the slightest idea what it is but
there is something wrong at the Sloan Ship
yards They are not producing the results, and
haven't since they were established. The keel of
their first boat was laid last April. The follow
ing September, five or six months later, the keel
sof an exactly similar ship was laid in the Seaborn
yard in Tacoma The finished hull was launched
by Seaborn last Saturday--the Sloan yard hasn' t
launched any. On the face of things, there's
something wrong stgfs pa
~ Personally we don't know anything about ship
building about running plant like that. But
we do know this: That certainly yard twice
the size, with twice the crew, far better equip
ment and five or six months start, ought to be
able to do at least as much as yard in a nearby
city where practically the same working and
material conditions prevail. When it doesn't
there's something wrong somewhere
There ISM finer shipyard on the Pacific Coast
than the Sloan Shipyard. There isn't city that
is willing to do more to make that war indus
try success than Olympia. It's shame, cry
ing shame, that it isn't producing the results.
