ADMIRAL WILSON
FAVORS PICKETING
AND BOYCOTTING

AND BO1COlI1NG
A story of the manner in which
French profiteers got taste of
American naval methods is told by
writer from French seaport, as
follows:
"The landlord of one of the prin-
cipal hotels, finding his rooms all
taken by American officers, consid-
cred that the law of supply and de-
mand justified in his case a con-
siderable increase in profits. The
price Of rooms doubled; meals and
drinks went up in proportion.
"Rear Admiral Wilson waited on
the mayor, who regretted the fact,
but found himself unable to inter
fere with the freedom of commerce.
admiral Wilson ordered the Of
ficers living there to move out and
placed sentries in front of the build
ing, with orders to keep every
American soldier away
"The argument was decisive The
landlord begged that the interdic-
tons be removed, but thus far Adj
miral Wilson is obdurate and the
house is almost empty"
1t will be noted that the admiral
first had recourse to the law-and
got nothing. Then he resorted to
the good American expedient of the
boycott-and got results.
The boycott time and again has
been decried by it's victims as I'M
fair, even though it usually is en-
ployed only against unfairness. Court
after court, in willing subservience
to capital, has forbidden it's use by
labor to enforce just. fair and rea-
sonable conditions, but no court
could ever make the workers will
ingly support an unfair concern.
Court mandates don't reach that far.
Admiral Wilson'S first thought,
when the law failed, was the boy
colt. Every one of fair mind and
normal thinking powers will ap-
pleaud his act, express satisfaction
at what he did, and say it was just
the right thing to stop profiteering
and punish greedy and unpatriotic
landlord.
But in America, were the admiral
the representative of a labor or
gani2ation and the landlord the rep
resentative of large employers, it
would have been easy to find
judge to declare the boycott unlaw-
full and issue an injunction against
it because it interfered with the
processes of private gain.
But where lies the moral difference
in boycotting this profiteering landlord
or taxicab company which opposes,
for its own profit, better standard
of living for the men who drive the
car? The landlord tried to take
advantage of the necessities of his
W owen his pTUlllS. Inc
taXlcab company tries to take adj
vantage of the necessities of the
drivers to compel them to work
cheaper than other drivers, thus en-
HANGING unfairly the profits of the
company, and keeping down unfair
ly the wages of the men who drive
the cars.
Where lies the difference between
the boycott established by the ad-
miral and a boycott, for instance,
against street car company which
has adopted policy of favoritism
toward few scabs, in the hope of
breaking the power of collective
bargaining, and keeping the manly
men in its employ from securing the
real wages which every American
worker should enjoy?
A boycott is a boycott. But it's
operation unimpeded of the law de-
bends upon who is exercising it

workingmen. - Bloomington Search

ONERSUBSCRIBED

The issue of $500,000,00O of Unit
ed States Treasury certificates, the
subscription to which closed March
5, was oversubscribed, the subscrip-
ton in every district, except one,
exceeding the quota assigned it.
The banks of the country in the
past two Liberty Loan campaigns
and in the purchase of Treasury GER
tificates issued before the loans re-
sponded to the demands of the coun-
try with inspiring loyalty and lib
erality. The faith they show in the
Government finances and the patrio-
tic response they give to the calls
of the Treasury are certain indica-
ton that their cooperation and as
sistance will help to insure the sue
cess of the Third Liberty Loan.

urge registration. Wage earners
are careless in this matter, those
who oppose them are not, they are
always on the job, always organized.
Organization is the thing that wins
and not for one single moment dare
we relax in effort to keep strong or
CARNATIONS SO that we may gain
the greatest good.
Until the workers of this state
make some effort to change the
complexion of our state legislature,
until we elect men who have at least
some of labor's view point we can
not hope for anything from that
body. We alone are to blame for
reactionary legislation. There is
good chance this year to put some
of our own people in the state leg
islature and we should not fail to
take advantage of our opportunities.
1t is also important that some
attention be paid to the Supreme
Court. There are three judges to
be elected this year. If our Initia-
tive Measures become law we want
a Supreme Court that will not de-
clare them unconstitutional as was
the case of the anti-employmen
agency measure passed by the In
itiative.
Every part of our government
shows some sign of progress along
broad lines except the judiciary. 1t
is not to be construed, however,
that all judges are reactionary and
hedged about by capital But in
the general court practice of the
state our judges have shown a mark
ed tendency to give labor the worst
of it.
Remember these important things.
1t is a duty you owe to the state,
the labor movement and to your
self.
REGISTER! Urge the voting mem
bers Of your families and all others
to register!
Sign and circulate Initiative Meas
ures 81, 32 and SO.

legislature and the Supreme Court.

Judge Dunno, one of the San Fran

takably shown himself hostile to the
four men and one woman charged
with the outrage of July %, 1916.
What does he care for the consti-

not he make law to suit his pleas

UNCLE SAM WILL
RUN MILLS AND
LOGGING CAMPS

Tired of waiting for an adequate
output of lumber to supply the war
needs of the country the government
is about to take over the mills
and logging camps.
The lumber manufacturers, like
the railroads, do not show the eff
ficiency or the desire to supply the
wants of the government.
The war department bill empow-
ering the President to requisition
timber and lumber and to conduct
logging operations for the army, the
navy and the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration was passed by the Senate.
Before its adoption the bill was
amended to enable the government
to take timber from forest reserves.
This action is not only expected
to bring the output of spruce and
other lumber up to war require
ments but will cheaper the product
probably.

FRYE & COMPANY
BELOW FOR HELP

Charging that the boycott placed
upon the products of their concern
has injured and is injuring their
business, Frye & Co. have secured
from Judge French's court re-
straining order prohibiting Local No.
81 Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen from picketing
the company's plant.
Frye & Co. started out in this
strike by declaring that it made no
difference to them what the butch
ers did, but now the company has
brought suit against the union to
recover damages amounting to $780,
000 The damages were inflicted
by loss of business and inability to
hold employees because of picketing
by the union during a strike, the
concern claims.

SHALL THE JAPS
GUARD SIBERIA

The question of Japanese interven-
ton in Siberia is a serious and per-
picking one. There seems some
fear exists that Japan means the
acquisition of Siberian territory.
Others hold the opinion that the
entry of Japan into Siberia is nee
essary for the protection of the in
terests of the Allies of which she
is one.
Then again, the Bolsheviki lead
ers having made a traitorous peace
treaty with the German autocracy
and having practically declared war
on all Russians who do not agree
with them, are now busily engaged
in doing pro-German work in ST.
IBERIA. German prisoners have been
released and with the Bolsheviki
are fighting General Seminoff's
forces. These forces are those who
will not lick the hand that smites
them; they will not bend the knee
to Germany.
Yes, by all means let Japan have a
free hand in Siberia. Even if she
anneXes a large portion of her ter
ritory, Siberians will be under a
better government than either au-
tocratic Germany or autocratic Rus
STA. The Allies can't keep Ger
many out of Siberia. Japan can
do it. Then in the name of rea-
son let her do it!
The traitorous Bolsheviki have de-
stroyed the defensive strength of
their country and actually invited the
unspeakable Huns to ravage it.
The Bolsheviki have as an excuse
that they expected the German pro-
letariat to revolt and force universal
peace. The Lenines and Trotskys
are either traitorous liars who con-
spired with German agents to sell
their country into political bondage
or they are credulous fools in be-
lieving that the German Socialists
are other than Germans. Scheideman
would grab a piece of his neigh
boris land as quick as would Won
Hlndenberg or any other hiped
swine
This Bolsheviki bunch have been
"bawling their heads off" for peace
and doing all they can to prolong
war.
The Russian people were in a fair
way to secure their freedom and a
lasting and honorable peace until
the Lenine-Trotsky combination of
conspirators got into the saddle.

HEALTH INSURANCE
DISCUSSED BY LABOR

ALBANY, N. Y, March 22.-How
workmer's health insurance will ben
eft labor is discussed in detail in a
second pamphlet report by the New
York State Federation of Labor just
printed for general distribution
among interested unions.
The report, issued by Secretary
Edward A. Bates from the Fedora
TONS headquarters here, urges the
immediate passage Of organized la
boris health insurance bill introduced
in the New York Legislature by
Senator Nicholl, and contains a re-
port of the questions and answers
at the special state conference at
Albany, February 6, when the bill
and report prepared by the commit
tee on health were unanimously
adopted by the 200 labor delegates.
1t is accepted as the best presenta-
ton of the provisions of public health
insurance for wage earners that has
yet appeared from the standpoint of
organized labor.
An Aid to Trade Unions
The conference agreed that the
proposed health insurance plan
would be a stimulus to the trade
union movement "The experience
IN other countries" declared Chair
man James M. Lynch of the COM
mittee on health, "has demonstrated
that bringing unorganized wage
earners together into the group, as
we proposed in the funds to which
they contribute, brings home to them
in the most emphatic way possible
what they might do if they were
organized industrially in the same
way as they. are organized in sick
funds. 1t must suggest that they
are able to be of the greatest power
and of the most benefit to them
selves if they will organize them
selves into trade unions. 1t en-
phasizes the benefits of mass ac-
ton" And DELEGATE Rander added:
"The very fact that the administra-
ton Of this sick fund will be through
local or trade organizations will have
a tendency to organize the workers
better in all the states"

The trades unionsist of Everett
will support Initiative Measure No.
81, 32 and 33. Vice-President Fran
co.'s, of the State Federation of La
Dor has submitted a plan of action
that has been accepted by the Ev-
erett Trades Council.
A circulator for the petitions will
be placed in charge of each voting
precinct in the city of which there
are 40. These circulators will be
held responsible for the entire pre-
cinct to which they are assigned.
They may call to their assistance as
many volunteers in each of their
respective precincts as they may feel
necessary to insure successful
campaign.
Different plans are being adopted
in the several cities in the state and
the workers in each city should put
forth their very best efforts to make
their plans successful. By trying
these different methods we may
gain valuable information as to the
best manner in which to conduct fu-
ture campaigns.
The Joint Legislative Committee
needs 37,761 valid signatures to
| place our measures on the ballot
to be voted upon at the fall election.
AS many names will no doubt be
stricken from the petitions we must
have considerably more than we
really need The petitions must
be signed up, checked by local reg
istration officers and turned into
headquarters at Seattle not later
than June 1.
The merits or dement's of the
measures are not matter fol-
debate at this time. If we secure
sufficient signatures to insure them
of place on the ballot, campaign
will be made by their proponents
urging their passage, and beyond g
doubt those who are opposed to them
will work equally as hard to accomp.
fish their defeat.
None but registered voters may
legally sign the petitions. An i'm.
portant thing at this time is tt
