CONSUMPTION
RESTRICTIONS
DISCONTINUED

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 13.-
Charles Hebberd, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Washington, has re-
ceived the following statement from
the food administration at Wash
ington, D. c.:
"A careful analysis of the beef
situation here and abroad shows the
desirability of lifting present con-
sumption restrictions Immediately
rather than in September, as origi-
nally contemplated. Therefore, the
present restrictions of serving beef
in public eating houses only one meal
each day and the present voluntary
program for householders of pur-
chasing a pound and half of bone
beef and pound and a quarter of
clear beef should be discontinued.
But it is highly desirable that the
American public consume medium
and lighter grades of cattle, thus
conserving the heavier animals for
our own armed forces and those of
our allies.
Owing to the extreme drought
in the Southwest and other parts of
the country endangering herds, pro-
ducers are rushing light weight beef
to market, thus creating an unex-
peeted surplus of light cuts. All
heavy beef is, for the present, need
ed for war export.
1.-THE food administration requests
retail markets to handle cattle which
dress not more than ATS pounds. and
it urges public eating places and
the public in general to create a de-
mand for light cuts. The general
policy of conservation for all meat
is still encouraged as a measure to
safeguard the future"

SHALL WE PERMIT ENSLAVEMENT
OF PORTO RICO BY PROFTTEERS?
One Million Porto Rcans Ask President Wilson Select Good
Governor-They Say Conditions Are Unbearabe

are of the relatively fortunat
class in Porto Rico
"These things being so, and tn
appointment of a governor for tn
Island of Porto Rico by you bein,
called for by the Organic Act o
Porto Rico some time during tn
year of 1918, we do most respectful
ly petition you to appoint to th'
said office of governor the Honor
able Geo. w. p. Hunt, now governor
of the State of Arizona, whose rep
utation officially and unofficial,
for fair sympathetic relations with
the Spanish speaking peoples of his
state, and the English speaking
workers as we'll, is of the highest
at is our conviction that the crit
ical condition of affairs in the
Island of Porto Rico calls for the ap-
pointment by you of man who has
already made public record of
his friendly, fair and just dealings
with the working people and the
people in general in their longing
for justice and for social freedom
and for opportunity in the State
of Arizona
"The situation in Porto Rico is
being used to the discredit of our
Republic in Spanish speaking coun-
tries. The story of injustice in
Porto Rico has already been carried
to the Spanish speaking people of
North and South America, and even
to Europe.
"The United States government.
which is now in war against the
principles of autocracy and denial
of human rights, can not longer re-
main responsible for a condition in
territory over which it has juris-
diction, which is totally at variance
with the ideals and institutions for
which our government and our ma
tion have declared"
If the condition described above
exist in the Island of Porto Rico il
is shame to our country and should
be wiped out by the strong arm of
the government and those respon-
sible for it made to feel the weight
Of that strong arm in a way never
to be forgotten.
The United States took Porto Rico
away from Spain to set her free, but
f the exploitation of that helpless
people by trusts, corporations and
corrupt officials is longer permit
ed it should bring the blush of
shame to Americans when they
lain to be fighting for the liberty
# the world.
The trusts and corporations of |
Porto Rico are of the same ilk |
hat disgraced the country by their
awless acts as Bisbee and Miami,
arizona.
Let US have done with this foul
,ang of plutocrats, now and for
yer!

is with the organization and conduct
of that part your members and this
committee will have most to do.
The undersigned organization
committee is named by the Depart.
ment of Labor to form these Com
munity Boards in certain districts
of this state.
In districting the state, we pro-
pose, subject to the approval of the
Department of Labor, to establish
Community Labor Board in each

Gated a U. S. Employment Agency.
Such agencies are at present estab-
lished in the following cities:
Aberdeen, Bellingham, Centralia,
Everett, Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma,
Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Yakima.
The Community Board so formed
will be known by the name of the
city in which it is located, as for
instance, "The Aberdeen Communi-
ty Board," etc.
This is for the best interests of
the service as close cooperation
must be had between the Community
Board and the Employment Agency.
The Community Board, as you will
note, shall be of three members;
one of which shall be selected by
the employing interests, one a rep
resentative of the employe or work
ar, and the third member, who will
represent the Employment Service
and the public, will be appointed
by this committee and he will be the
Hartman of the Community Board.
This third member, as you will
readily understand, must be a man
of influence commanding the conf
dence of both labor and manage
ment.
The local officer in charge of the
Service or the County
Director of the Public Service Re-
rerve may or may not be chosen as
such chairman.
Now, therefore, carrying out in
received from the Di-
ector General of the Employment
Service, we request that your rep
