ORGANIZE NOW
TO SOP RENT HOG

People in Seattle are organizing
to curb the rapacity of landlords.
They did not begin too soon for, as
seen by Seattle papers, even rental
agents are going so far as to refuse
to handle the property of profiteer-
ing house owners. The women of
Seattle are taking an active part in
their fight against the "ground
hogs" Judge Calvin Hall of the
King County superior court, after
declaring that the courts could Of
fer no relief, said:
Whenever you hear of a land
lord doubling or trebling the rent.
don't lose your sense of fairness and
justice. Above all don't call him
a rent hog-it is unfair to the
Eog. The American hog is going
the even tenor of his way. asking
nothing more now than before the
war He is going ahead putting
on fat and is the backbone of the
soldiers food across the ocean"
Isn't it time now to begin in
Everett to war on profiteering land
lords before they begin their grabit-
all campaign?

HURLEY TELLS THE TRUTH ABOUT
UNITED STATES SHIPBUILDING

over from foreign and domestic
owners, which are being completed
by the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton. These will average 1000 tons
each and aggregate a total dead
weight tonnage of $14,715,000.
This makes total of 2101 vessels
exclusive of tugs and barges which
are being built and will be put on
the seas by the Emergency Fleet
Corporation in the course of carry
ing out the present program, with
an aggregate deadweight tonnage
Of 14,715,000.
Five billion dollars will be re-
quired to finish our program for
1918, 1919 and 1920, but the ex-
penditure of this enormous sum will
give to the American people the
greatest merchant fleet ever assem-
bled in the history of the world
fleet which predict will serve
all humanity Loyalty and unselfishly
upon the same principles of liberty
and justice which brought about the
establishment of this free republic.
The expenditure of the enormous
sum will give America merchant
fleet aggregating 25,O0O,OOO tons of
shipping.
American workmen have made
the expansion of recent months pos
sible and they will make possible
the successful conclusion of the
whole program. On July 1, 1917,
there were in the United States not
quite $4,000 men engaged in the
yards. Today we have
a force of 100000 men in the yards,
and 100000 men engaged in allied
trades. This force will be continu-
'usly increased. From all present
expectations it is likely that by
1920 we shall have close to a mil
ion men working on American mer-
'hant ships and their equipment.

CHARLES M. FICkERT, FRIEND OF
BILL HOHENZOLLERN, IT SEEMS

The public knows that c. c.
Crowley, a citizen of the United
States, together with Franz Bopp,
German Consul at San Francisco;
Won Brinken, Won Schanck and others,
was convicted in the United States
court at San Francisco of cOnspir-
acy to dynamite and burn Canadian
bridges, tunnels, factories, etc, in
aid of the Imperial Government of
Germany, and that c. c. Crowley
was the paid "agent" of Franz Bopp,
German Consul, to direct the cam
paign of destruction in Canada in
the years 1914 and 1915.
But the general public does not
know that at the time above men
toned that C. C. Crowley was
employed by Charles NJ. Fickert,.
District Attorney of the city and
county of San Francisco, to investi-
gate illicit traffic in poisonous drugs
bewteen the City of San Francisco,
Canada and the Eastern States. car
rying credentials from Fickert as
"a special agent of this office and
connected with the Department of
Justice of the city and county of
San Francisco, state of California"
Nor does the general public in
the Northwest know that Fickert
knew early in 1915 that Crowley was
paid agent of Franz Bopp accord
ng to his testimony in Crowley's |
trial.

this story is taken said:

10th, with Governor Stevens, he said
"the Preparedness Day Crime was
paid for by German money" In
view of recent developments it seems
reasonable that Fickert knew this.
1t would have been interesting if
Franz Bopp had been fool enough
to give Crowley written credentials
on his Canadian mission, which might
have been printed with the Gre
dentials issued by Fickert.
Following is Charles NJ. Fickert's
letter of introduction for C. C.
Crowley, when Crowley went on his
dynamiting mission for Franz Bopp,
then German Consul in San Fran
cisco:
District Attorney
Hall of Justice,
San Francisco, Cal,
June IA, 1915.
"To the Officials and Officers
Throughout the United States and
Canada.
"The bearer of this note, Mr.. c.
C. Crowley, whose signature ap-
pears hereon, is special agent of
this office and connected with the
department of justice of the city and

California.
"At present and for some time
to come, he will be especially as
signed to the duty of investigating
the illicit drug and poison traffic
between this city, Canada, and the
eastern states, and particularly of
the shipment Of such articles from
Canada into the United States. A
number of officials here are under
investigation for their alleged con-
nection with the illicit traffic in
hese drugs. AS result Mr.. Crow

Crowley may present this letter will

No wonder c. c. Crowley is in

lry and falsehood.

WAR SAVINGSDAY
FRIDAY, JUNE 2S

June 28th has been announced by
President Wilson as War Savings
Day and the President has appealed
to every man, woman and child to
pledge themselves, on or before the
28th day of June, to save constantly
and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities of the Government.
War Savings Day, June 28th, has
been fixed as the end of the drive
or special period of enlistment as
the President says, "in the great
volunteer army of production and
saving here at home"
At this moment the Germans are
making another drive in France.
American blood is flowing. 1t is
claimed that upon us as nation
will depend the fate of the world
England and France, Belgium and
Italy need our help with all of our
strength. They have suffered tre-
mendous losses in man-power and
now we must step into the breach.
1t means millions of men must be
sent; more millions of workers must
be employed in supplying them, in
ships, in manning ships, in
5uilding railroad supplies, in run
ring railroads both here and in
France. to transport the men, the
munitions and the supplies.
All of these tremendous demands
can only be met by the united eff
forts of our people here at home
N saving every bit they can from
heir wages or income and buying
government securities, thus trans
terring their purchasing power from
to the Government, re-
,eiving in return Understanding Sc
the safest in the known
world.
We cannot as people continue
buy the foolish things of yore,
wasting our income, and at
he same time support the Govern
nent and win the war
Saving and lending to the Gov
rnment is not matter of personal
holce, but rather a national neces-
ity and duty. The issue is one of
elf-preservation to the nation and
@ the individual, and to no part of
ur citizenship is the issue more
ltal than to wage earners and to
rganized labor.
Organized labor needs to support
ne War Savings Campaign in or
er to help re-adjust the labor forces
the country to the gigantic tasks
the war. This means to turn
ii visible supply of essential labor
the support of the war.
1t is plainly evident that no ele-
lent in our citizenship has a larger
lterest in the success of the War
avings Campaign than the trade ,
mon movement, and for this rea-
OH, alone, as well as from general
lotives of patriotism, labor organ
'atlons and labor men are urged to .
