Weighed in the balance by prac-
tical working test of more than six
months, the first aid amendment to
the state industrial insurance act
passed by the last Legislature has
been found wanting and sweeping
revision of the law or enactment of
an entirely new one will be demand
ed of the next Legislature by organ
lied labor
This was the verdict reached by
the Executive Council of the Wash
ington State Federation of Labor
last evening after devoting an entire
afternoon to hearing an indictment
of the first aid law and also of GER
tain features of the industrial in
surance act itself, presented by Sc
attic trade unionists.
The shortcomings of the law in
tended to protect victims of indus
trial accidents were laid before the
council, meeting in special session
at the Hotel New Richmond, by a
delegation headed by Frank w. Cot
terill and F. C. Millington, repre-
senting labor on two of the most
important of the six local first aid
boards created in the Seattle dis
trict under the first aid amendment.
Representing the building trades
and the waterfront trades, respect
lively, Cotterll and Millington and
their colleagues told the executive
officers of the State Federation that
the first aid law had failed of its
purpose even more sadly than lead
ers of organized labor had predic-
ted when it was enacted following
the defeat of the bill presented by
the law forces, and that abnormal
industrial expansion in Seattle,
created by war work, had gravelp
complicated the situation created by
the laws failure.

Marketing Bill Complete

The marketing bill to be presen-
ted to the voters at the November
election is one of the most compre-
hensive ever drafted by the farmers
and unionists. 1t goes further than
the direct marketing legislation
worked for in the last Legislature
and provides that any city, county
or other municipal corporation, in
cluding any port commission, may
engage in buying and selling farm
and other produce as middleman or
otherwise, and in transporting the
same, using for that purpose re-
volving fund to be created by tax
alton.
The municipality is authorized to
buy, lease or build for the conduct
Of such business any and all neces-
sary storage warehouses and other
facilities and to own, lease and op-
crate lines of transportation, such
as auto truck lines for the handling
of produce.
Picketing Bill
The picketing bill embraces the
principal provisions of the Clayton
law, passed by Congress few years
ago, which legalizes peaceful picket
ing and all other legitimate trade
union activities and prevents the
courts from interfering with such ac-
tivities by use of the injunction pow
er. The American Federation of La
Dor has for several years urged
trade unionists to have their state
Legislatures to pass such laws.
Minimum Wages Talked
This morning the Executive Coun-
Gil discussed at length the state min
imum wage law for women and had
before it Mrs. Frances King Head
lee, secretary of the State Welfare
Commission, and other members of
the commission, who explained what
the commission was doing to get en-
ployers to increase the wages of
women workers without compulsion

FRISCO FRAME-UP
MAY YET SUCCEED

| Ix1 Il - L oooOA4A<D
When the attempt of Oxman of
Oregon to secure wholesale perjury
in the attempt to lynch Tom Mooney
and his co-defendants was uncovered,
Labor lay back satisfied that the
victims of the San Francisco Cham
Der of Commerce were saved and
that no more effort was needed to
restore them to their wives and
families.
Again when Mrs. Mooney was ac-
quilted of completely in the bomb
massacre there was the same cock
sure feeling that the fight was over.
1t was somewhat dissipated when
| it was later announced that Fickert
would try her on indictment after
indictment till he got hanging ver
dict.
Next came Weinberg's trial. Af
| ter a three months trial and after
the prosecution put in its strongest
case the jury acquitted Weinberg
after twenty minutes deliberation.
eve actually decided the matter in
three or four minutes" said one of
the jurors. eve were all in tears
after we counted the ballots and we
wanted a little time to straighten
out. All of US agreed that we
would have acquitted Weinberg at
the conclusion of the states case
without a word of testimony from
the Defense" But Weinberg is still
in Jail.
Then came the sensational confess
sions of Mrs. Kidwell and Mrs. Es-
telle Smith These confessions prov
ed beyond the scintilla Of doubt
that the entire prosecutions were
gigantic frame-up.
Both Mrs. Mooney and Weinberg
fought hard to be admitted to bail,
but were unsuccessful. The District
Court of Appeals, in denying both
appeals, stated: at is to be pre-
sumed that the courts and the pro-
ceedings officials will perform their
duty promptly in presenting others
of their several causes for trial" In
other words "their honors" gave
District Attorney Fickert assurance,
as far as they were concerned, that
he could go ahead and carry out his
lynching program.
The defense has been sadly ham,
pered by the apathy of organized la
Dor following these developments.
The people of America seem to have
taken it for granted that the whole
fight is over. The fight is as crit
ical as ever. Tom Mooney is still
in the shadow of the gallows; Bill
ing is serving life term in Fol-
som prison and though acquitted by
their respective juries, Mrs. Mooney
and Israel Weinberg are still in Jail.
w. d. Patterson of the Berkeley
(Cal) Carpenters Union, will be in
this vicinity to arouse Labor to the
present critical phase of the Frisco
fight. Bro. Patterson bears creden-
tials from Weinberg's central organ
ization, the Bay Counties (San Fran
cisco, Alemeda, San Mateo, Marin
and Contra Costa) District Council
of Carpenters, The International
Workers Defense League of San
Francisco, and many other represen-
tative Californian Labor bodies. We
trust that local unions will make
Brother Pattersons visit a thorough
success.
Watch for His Coming
If you would hear the truth about
the most sensational criminal trials
of the century watch for the coming
of Patterson and fail not to hear
him. The people (all the people)
cannot afford to allow Fickert to ac-
complsh his frame-up judicial mur-
ders.

SUBS RIPTION RATE,
ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

That person who refuses to econ
omize to save food 10 save man
power and to save everything in
this crisis is not patriotic; is not q
good citizen. The hight OF mans
disposition should be in the conser-
walton of the earth's natural re-
sources, the saving of the soils fer
tility; the production Of everything
that makes man better and higher.
And to do everything in our power
to bring relief to the down-fallen,
the injured and the unfortunate.
We should not hoard wealth for our
personal selfish pleasures, but should
use it for the comfort and advance
ments of all.
There are hundreds in this land
to-day who disregard the Food Ad-
ninistration's appeal, because the
order is not so exacting as to catch
them, and as it is mere matter of
personal discretion where one has
enough money to take advantage
q the situation and is disposed to
do so. This throws the burden on
the poor and the loyal few who have
large sums of money.
We hope to see the law so changed
that every family must be issued
food tickets once year, alloting
them SO much food of the kind that
must be saved in proportion to the
number in the family, making an
equal division between rich and
poor alike, making it so years
supply may be laid in ahead by
those persons who are able to pay
for it, and at the same time leave
for those who are not able to buy
ahead their full quota. This would

save much time for the merchant
who can sell and deliver one years
supply Of -four, or sugar, or coffee
and many other articles as quickly
as he can the present limit Of "a
pounds of -four, 5 pounds Of sugar
etc. II would also save the time Of
the farmer in going to the store so
often TO get the same supplies.
An order to this effect should be
made at once, not only for the saw
ing OF time, but to insure an equal
distribution Of food. For there are
to-day hundreds of persons who go
to number Of different stores get
ting their quota of each article up
on which there are restrictions, UNI
til they have large quantities laid in
ahead. While the man who has not
the money to do this must have
his allotment cut less or 10 without
altogether. This is an unfair prop
osition.

Effect of War on Trade.

It would be impossible to give in de- tail the effect of the European war on American trade, but partial statements show the approximate effect on some branches of trade. Thus it appears that during the first 20 months of war our exports of articles used expressly for war purposes amounted to S1,092,- 5S2, ,249. The smallest shipments were in the opening month of the war, Aug ust, 1914, when such exports amount ed to only $S,551, OH and increased al- post steadily up to March, 1916, when the total was $114 432G, ,426. For the 20 months the exports of explosives amounted to $166 159,5 ,515 gunpowder, $104,605, 7S5; cartridges, $40.30S, GIT i; dynamite, $3,211,073; commercial au- tomobiles, $S2, scr. .125; mules $30,026,- 591; horses. $125,241 ,206; airplanes, $7,401, TOT; firearms. $20,140,9S1; mis- cellaneous iron and steel, including empty shells, Sill, ,603,3 3,316; rubber, in- cluding auto tires $3S,S5S, ,76S; barbed and plain wire $44, ,4S5. .385. According to statistics of the United States de- partment of commerce, more than three-quarters of the total export trade of the United States in 1916 went to the allied nations of Europe
 and this including only war exports, and not provisions or foodstuffs.
