SEEING THE BIG THINGS
(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)

(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)
The microscope has it's uses. But
you cannot see the stars through a
microscope. You cannot get a broad
view of nature-the rivers. the noun
tains, the green earth-you cannot
see even a single tree through a
miscroscope.
There are men who always look at
life through this little instrument
They seem to take peculiar delight
in searching for the small things
in life-the petty, the mean things
in others lives.
They never have a vision. They
never take into the sweep of their
horizon the really great and good
things. If they were to be shown
beautiful painting, they would
search for fly-specks upon the frame.
And because their outlook is mar
row, they become pessimistic and
bitter and censorious.
Unfortunately, the labor movement
is sometimes retarted by these un-
happy individuals. Occasionally they
are found within the ranks of the
workers. They are the ones who
are dead weights to the really earn
est men who are bravely making a
fight for better things.
But they are also found outside the
labor movement. To them, the la
Dor movement consists of unreason-
able strikes and INSCRIPTIONS agi-
tators. They do not see the mil
lions of children in the mills and the
factories who should be at home and
in the schools, and for whom organ
lied labor is making a strong fight,
while the great mass of even intelli-
gent people are strangely Indifferent
to their struggles.
They seem to be ignorant of the
terrible sweat shop in which thou
sand of the toilers are wearing
out their lives in the hopelessness of
abject poverty, and for whom the
labor union almost single-handed is
battling, in what is bound to be a
winning fight.
Who is doing more for the wo-
man that tolls than the labor union
What institution stands more cour-
ageously for a squarer deal for our
sisters and mothers? Not in a
weak, sickly, sentimental way, but
with vigor and red-bloodedness
that is sometimes startling in its
persistency and in its effectiveness
Look through your telescope for
little while-and forget the fly
specks. Nobody like them. We
can't get rid of them altogether, but
there is something else on the hori-
zon.

Mobilization of 100000 workers
for agriculture, shipbuilding and war
contract plants was entrusted this
week to the United States employ
ment service by the Department of
Labor. Tremendous expansion of the
service is in progress in preparation
for recruiting men necessary to car
nv on the economic work in support
of the military forces in the war.
Solution of the labor shortage prob
lem by this means is confidently pro-
posed by the department and the CO.
operating labor organizations in an
swer to suggestions that conscription
of labor is necessary.
One early result is expected to be
the placing of 100000 mechanics in
shipbuilding plants to aid in hurry
ing to completion the merchant ma
rine program.
John B. Densmore Of Montana, So
licitor for the Department OF Labor,
will be national director Of the EN-
ployment service by appointment of
Secretary Wilson. He will have as
his assistant Robert Watson, Massa-
chusetts, and Charles T. Clayton,
Maryland. Samuel J. Gompers, New
York. son of the A. f. of L. head,
will succeed Watson as the depart
ment's chief clerk.
To Coordinate Labor Market
Organization plans of the new
service were described in an official
statement which said

service has been divorced from the
Bureau Of immigration, under whose
control it has been since its estab-
lishment, made a separate arm Of the
department and one of the largest
and most important war prosecuting
organizations Of the national govern
ment.
Through the utilization of exist
ing and projected federal, state and
municipal employment offices and the
labor supplying facilities Of the vari-
GUS state councils of defense, the
federal employment service will cover
the entire continent with a network
of interrelated labor exchanges. These
will recruit and transfer workers
from one section to another, and
eliminate the present chaotic situa-
ton Of surplus Of workers in one
region and a shortage in another.
A Labor Reservoir"
"Supplementing this labor distri-
button work, the expanded federal
service will create a vast reservoir of
labor to meet the increasing demands
of the various war industries by
means Of its two auxiliary bodies, the
United States Public Service Reserve
and the United States Boys Working
Reserve. The creation Of this labor
reservoir already is under way.
"The Public Service Reserve is eX-
pected by the Department of Labor
and the heads of organized labor to
solve the labor shortage problem and
to prove a conscription Of labor to be
unnecessary.

ROLLING MILL
PROPOSITION

An informal meeting at the Com
mercial club Monday evening passed
a resolution endorsing the steel roll
ing mill project which was brought
to the attention of the public through
the Riverside Commercial club.
Mr.. Blair, representing the people
who propose establishing the plant
here, says caitalization of $150,O0O
is needed and $4,000 of this is asked
of the citizens of Everett. 1t was
stated that contract for scrap iron
at $17.50 ton, laid down in Ev-
erett can be secured for a period
of two years, and it is thought a
lower rate can be gotten.

PORT DISTRICT
FOR EVERETT
IS PROPOSED

On Monday night number of
members of the Commercial Club
met in the Clubs quarters and disL
cussed the question of establish
ing a port district here, to include
within it's limits the city of Ev-
erett and parts of Snohomish county.
1t was an informal gathering for
the purpose of discussing the ques-
tion.
A. A. Brodeck was chosen chair
man and a general discussion of the
question took place. The chair ap-
pointed the following gentlemen on
committee to outline a port dis
trict, to investigate the workings of
the Seattle Port Commission and re-
port to the Executive Committee of
the Commercial club as soon as pos
sible: w. H. Clay, chairman; Halvor
Guam, Dan Currie, W. A. johnson
and John Sievers.
During the discussion Mr.. Guam
took occasion to thank the club for
it's endorsement of the Norway-Pa
cific Construction & Drydock Co.
There are incalculable benefits to
be derived from the work of an eff
cient (Non-Partisan) port commits
sion, as witness the great good that
came TO Seattle and Tacoma through
the establishment of port districts
managed by efficient commissions
with the interests of their cities at
heart.

IlINEMENI DEMAND
REAL DEMOCRACY
Start Campaign for Election of
Al international Union Of
ficiaIs by Initiative and Ref
erendum.

Demands for more democratic con-
troll Of international unions and the
American Federation Of Labor are
voiced in a resolution adopted by
Electrical Workers Local No. II of
Seattle at their meeting Of January
IT, and should the resolutions be
endorsed by the Seattle Central La
Dor Council when they are presented
one week hence, a nationwide cam
paign will be conducted by the Seat
lie labor movement looking toward
constitutional amendments of inter-
national unions and the American
Federation of Labor allowing for the
election of officers by direct vote
Of the rank and file rather than on
the floor of conventions. The resolu-
ton is self explanatory and follows;
Whereas, The peoples Of all civil
ized countries are involved in a great
struggle for democracy, and
Whereas. We, the rank and file Of
organized labor, should at this time
secure greater democracy in our 'own
organizations, and
Whereas, The membership of our
organizations has not direct control
of election Of our international Of
ficers, and
Whereas, Our international offic-
ars, instead of being our servants,
have been our masters, this con-
dition having been saddled on US by
electiug our international officers on
the convention floor, now therefore
be it
"Resolved, That we, the members
Of Local No. II. International Bro
therhood of Electrical Workers, go
on record at this time to have our
constitutions so amended that all in
ternational and American Federation
of Labor officers be elected to office
by direct vote of the membership,
and be it further

luton is adopted by the Central La
Dor Council and affiliated labor un-
ions, we have copies printed and

"HOW MUCH DOES IT COST
PRODUCE HUMAN LABOR?'

There is no paternalistic government
to tell him to produce his cost sheets,
and pay him all these costs, plus ten
per cent! He must sell it for the
best price it will bring him in the
open market. And the same thing
happens with the worker that has
happened with business and manufac-
ture under unrestricted competition
95 per cent fail! They fail in that
they cannot get the cost price for
the labor they have to sell, and they
go into financial, physical and spirit
ual bankruptcy. Some of them get
into the poorhouses, some of them
into asylums, some into the gutter.
And the best the most of them get is
to live the dreary, painwracked days
of their old age among their chill
dren-children already overburdened
with the living costs of themselves
and their own children.
Society will never be safe and
sane until it recognizes these costs
of producing human labor-the most
vital contributing factor to all our
processes of production and distribu-
tion Society may continue for
while to stand for profit in indus
try, but self-preservation will demand
the ultimate recognition of labor
power to at least the actual cost of
it's own production. Until then, the
least that we can do is to cease to
grumble when a labor union tries to
get few. cents more an hour for
it's members"

Mr.. Halvor Guam, one of the
trustees of the Norway-Pacific Con-
struction & Drydock Company, Wis
tied the Council and was invited to
address the delegates.
Mr.. Guam made an interesting and
instructive talk on the progress made
by his company. He brought with
him maps showing the location of
the plant to be, the many buildings,
the ship-ways for steel and wooden
ships and the large floating dry
dock. He showed these plans to the
Council delegates and visitors with
a short explanatory talk.
Buildings Planned
AS shown by the plans, the shore
line is to contain the following build
ings and other facilities: Two-story
administration building, 12-car gar
age, hospital, pattern shop, foundry,
erecting floor, lotion crane, 5O-ton
crane, boiler shop, machine and en-
gine shop, annealing shop, forges,
blacksmith shop, joiner shop, paint
shop, boiler house, power house, COM
pressors, steel fabricating shop, 240x
80 feet. Elsewhere about the yard
will be located two-story general
store, 14Ox60 feet; a commodious car
penter shop, etc. The sectional float
ing drydock is 4O0x110 feet in size,
capable of handling 10000 ton ships.
A hospital is located just within the
gate.
The mid-section of the yard has
facilities for simultaneously building
five steel ships, while on the north
west, extremely there are ways for
the construction of two wooden ships
at a time.
The floating drydock is shown at
the extreme southwest corner of the
yard, and directly north is wharf
400 feet long and 35 feet wide
where ship hulls are berthed while
receiving their equipmnt. Across the
yard to the north is another wharf,
4OOx35 feet. Two immense circu-
lar derricks on the south side will
handle all heavy materials. A GER
tain percentage of the site is to be
filled in from the shoreline west.
Thus far the company has figured
out four complete sets of ship plans
for the government, the largest type
being 10,000-ton steel vessels.
The authorized capitalization is
placed at $1,5OO,000, and the organ
ization meeting, held in Seattle jan
uary 23rd, elected the follow
ing officers: M. G. Thomle, presi-
dent; w. R. Stockbridge, DR.. E. Jan
son, Olaf Hertzwig,. vice-presidents;
J. L. Stixrud, secretary-treasurer.
Trustees of the Norway-Pacific Con-
struction & Dry Dock company are:
Captain Fritz Olson, Captain Eric
Thomle. w. w. Conner, Captain Harry
Ramwell, Halvor Guam and the pres
ident and vice presidents. The reg
ular stockholders meeting will be
held the first Monday in June and
the officers now named will hold
until that time.
