UNIONS PREPARING FOR
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

At the request of the state organ
ization in charge of the industrial
division of the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign and alco according to the
desire of Thomas O'Leary. chairman
of the campaign for Thurston county,
the local trades unions have selected
committees to arrange for 100 per
cent participation in the forthcoming
sale Of Liberty Bonds, which starts
the goth of this month.
A general committee of five was
selected by the Trades Council at its
meeting two weeks ago. Upon the
suggestion of this general committee
the local unions have selected special
committees to cooperate with the
general committee. Three meetings
Of the committee have been held thus
far. The meeting Thursday evening,
August 20 was attended by 80 COM
mittee men. The problem of handling
the subscriptions of 1900 men in the
the labor unions was discussed and
partial plans outlined. Chairman
O'Leary addressed the meeting, CIV
ing information in detail of the rules
which govern the purchase of the
bonds. A committee of three has
been appointed and this committee
will reduce to writing the suggestions
made and any further devices which
may appeal to this committee as fea-
sible in promoting the fullest partic-
ipation in the drive.
1t was determined that efforts OF
the committee would be devoted
largely to emphasis Of the duty en-
cumbent upon all to buy bonds and
to the fact that in purchasing bonds
no sacrifice is entailed.
September 10, at an open meeting
of the Trades Council, which will be
attended by all the committeeman as
we'll as the general public. addresses
will be made by VIM. Ladd. of Seat
tie, chairman of the state industrial

TRADES COUNCIL.

While there was a full attendance
at the Trades Council meeting August
30, there was less of routine business
than Is usual and very little of new
matter came up for discussion. The
Labor Day committee made it's re-
port and the Council approved the
expenditures in connection with the
celebration.
Chairman Mohler of the Liberty
Loan committee, made report of
the proceedings of that body, and
urged all union people to begin at
once preparations to give financial
and moral support to the campaign.
The concurrence Of the Council in
grievance of the Engineers against
the contractor of the new high school
building entered ct the previous meet
ing, was reconsidercd and the matter
referred to the executive committee
for investigation.

But how shall We meet the stu
alton? There are three ways to meet
it, one by loans, the other by taxes,
and another by combination of
loans and taxes. The latter is. of
course, the one we will pursue. 1t is
extremely important to my mind.
however, that we make taxation the
fundamental principle of our reve-
INCREASING policy and loans the Incl
dent. We ought to have the courage
and the wisdom to raise all we can
possibly raise by taxes. We ought
to endeavor to pay as we go, in so
far as we can do so. That is bust
ness; that is just; that is wise. The
loan system is calculated to produce
imitation and to demoralize business.

TRADES COUNCIL MINUTES.

When the Council adjourned last
night it decided not to meet in formal
session until Thursday, September
26, the session of September 10 to be
given up to discussion of union par
ticipation in the Fourth Liberty Loan.
Taking up the matter of the griev-
ance of the Seam Engineers against
the high school contractor, the Coun-
Gil decided that the executive COM
mittee should summon the interested
parties before them, receive and con-
slider all the evidence available and
then report their findings to the
Trades Council This meeting will
probably occur next Wednesday even
ing, September IS.
The Labor Day committee report
cd that the work of the committee
was complete, and the committee
was given a blue ticket good until

EFFICIENCY AT BETHLEHEM.

Charles M. Schwab. director of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation and
chairman of the board of directors of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. in
an article in he American Magazine
for September entitled Charles M.
Schwab Takes Look Into the Flu
ture," written by B. c. Forbes, is
quoted rs follows:
ut is fit and proper that labor
should receive fair share of what it
helps to create.
"In our Bethlehem Steel plants we
have had very elaborate system foi
rewarding men according to their
deserts. We have a minimum wage
under which no mans pay can fall.
But at least 80 per cent of all our
workers participate in bonuses and
rewards according to their individual
results. At very great cost we insti-
tuted years ego system which stan
dardized almost every job and every
kind of work throughout the whole
establishment. We carefully arrived
at how much work of each kind
should be accomplished by normal
effort, and then we fixed generous
basis Of special compensation for
everything done over and above that
amount.
1.-THE whole thing has worked out
excellently for both the men and the
company. AS a matter of fact, the
average wages received by the work.
men at Bethlehem are greater than
those paid any other set of steel
workers in America. naturally am
r!'oud of this fact, because l want
every one of my men to have chance
- get ahead, 4 chance to earn every
dollar he is capable of earning"
The National War Labor Board, in
its finding in the Bethlehem Steel
case, dated July 81, 1918, said:
'It appears beyond doubt that the
dissatisfaction among the employees of
the company has had and is having a
seriously detrimental effect upon the
production of war materials abso-
lutely necessary to the success of the
American Expeditionary Forces. This
was clearly developed in the testi-
mony of the officials Of the Ordnance
Department.
THE main cause of the dissatisfac-
ton is a bonus system so complicated
and difficult to understand that almost
one-half of the time of the hearings
was consumed in efforts to secure a
clear idea of the system. The alb
sence of any method Of collective bar
gaining between the management and
the employees is another serious cause
Of unrest, as is also the lack of a
basic guaranteed minimum wage
rate.
"After having carefully reviewed
all the evidence in the case. the board
makes the following findings:

WOMEN's WAGE TO BE $500.
Formally Adopted Over OHtelmen's
PrOtest-Latter May Fight.

The $500 minimum weekly wage
for women of Washington during the
war, recommended by the recent war
emergency conference. was adopted
Tuesday by the industrial welfare
commission and will be effective No
vember 10.
Hotel men entered a protest and
indicated a possible legal fight, con-
tending that the wage should apply
to 7-day week.
The commission refused to recede
from its course established at its first
session four years ago of taking six
working days as the basis for all
weekly wage cmputations.
The commission also decided to
prohibit women from working as bell
hops, on section crews, and in other
occupations which 1t may be decided
are injurious to women.

SHORTS PLEA IGNORED.

According to the Seattle kept press
William Short, president of the State
Federation of Labor, took the Seattle
Central Labor Council down the line
at a recent meeting on account of tits
consideration of a resolution denounc-
ing an alleged conspiracy of the pred
atory interests and rebuking District
Aattorney Reames for pernicious ac-
tivity. But the press did not say that
Mr.. Short spoke in favor of tabling
the resolution indefinitely and that
the Central Council refused to table.
The resolution was sponsored by
delegates of the Shipyard Laborers.
