ing his hand madly "Its dad"
"Dad" ordinarily does lot of things, but he
doesn't do any more than plant that they raise
down South. This plant provides clothing for the
world, food for humans and food for cattle-and it
also supplies essential element for the deadliest
explosives that are being used in the present war
to kill and MAIN thousands.
This plant is cotton. The part of the plant that
is used for clothing is the fiber 1t is separated at
the cotton gin.
shell with yellow, oily kernel inside of it. Usually
after the cotton has been run through the gin,
enough fiber sticks to the seed to make it look
dirty white or gray instead of brown.
The cotton seed is sold to cotton oil mill. There
are thousands of these scattered through the South
While they try to keep it secret, the fact is we'll
known that a majority of these belong to the "Big
Five" packing concerns of Chicago and Kansas
City, Swift, Armour, Cudahy, Wilson and Morris.
The cotton oil mills have been buying seed this
year for approximately $40 per ton. Before the
war the price as low as $1S and $25.
The seed is first put through cleaner This
operates series of saws which scratch the lint
from the seed. The lint, which is extremely short
fbered, formerly was used for mattress padding,
collar pads, cotton batting, etc. Now it is used
almost exclusively for guncotton. The big pur-
chaser is the Dupont Powder company.
POWDER TRUST CLASHES
WITH MEAT TRUST W..
The cotton oil plants of the South, controlled by
the meat trust, have in the past been able to fix,
not only the price at which they bought cotton seed
from the farmers but also the price at which they
sell all their products
But peculiar thing has happened this year In
disposng of of their products, the lint cleaned
from the seed, the meat trust has up against
still stronger trust-the powder trust. In 1916
the Dupont Powder company paid 71s cents pound
for lint In 1907 they announced flatly price of
5k cents and refused to pay more-ths in spite Of
the fact that cotton has nearly doubled in price and
that the cotton lint, for guncotton manufacture, is
The nonpartisan leader., 1918-05-13

Investigation reveals that the meat
trust has seized hold of the manufac-
ture of cotton by-products. This at
time when cottonseed meal is coming
to the fore as meat substitute. South
ern farmers used to put cotton seed
upon the land as a fertilizer for the
growing of other crops. Then they be-
gan to feed it to stock, for the produc-
tion of meat. Now we are beginning
to consume it directly on our tables,
instead of using it in more roundabout
and wasteful methods of securing food.
The Nonpartisan league in Texas is
planning state-owned mills which will
destroy the monopoly on this
important article.

CATTLE or in the form of hardened cake, which
can be spread the ground and fed to range cat
tie. In either the price at the factory is $285
per 100 pounds. From $50 to 900 pounds of meal
are produced from each ton of cotton seed.
This cottonseed meal not only is good for cattle
but at a pinch can be used for human food. It is
being introduced in the South as flour substitute
One part of cotton meal mixed with four parts of
wheat flour corn meal makes the finest kind of
cakes or bread.
WORK LONG HOURS
AT LOW WAGES
The cottonseed mills make good profits. They
need only small amount of labor. They use negro
labor, pay small wage and work their men 12
hours Most of the mills operate for only three or
four months during the year, in the winter when
labor is cheapest.
But the mills are not making nearly the
profit that they did. The reason is that the food
administration has stepped in and fixed prices.
More than that, because of the shortage of cattle
feed, the food administration is telling the mills
where they must ship their meal and hulls. .-
The mills, however, are allowed to ship their oil
the most valuable product, where they please,
which means much to the packers that are their
owners, and here is where the real profit comes in
Figuring the maximum production of mill, this
is what they get out of a ton of cotton seed for
which they have paid $40: .s

THE MUTUAL LAUNDRY
SWAMPED WITH WORK

The second week in the life of the
Olympia Mutual Laundry finds the
establishment running to capacity
and yet unable to turn out on sched-
ule the large amount of work that
has been offered. The company has
ordered two additional washers and
these machines will be installed today
and tomorrow. 1t is found that the
patronage runs strong to fiat work,
and while the finishing machinery is
able to handle the laundry easily, the
three large washers were found to be
overloaded. The addition of the two
new washers will almost double the
capacity of the plant. A new and en-
larged boiler and engine alos have
been purchased and will be installed
as soon as possible. AS temporary
eXpedient large portable boiler and
engine has been installed.

OPERATORS TO
BE REINSTATED BY L. S.

Reinstatement of all locked out
union telegraphers is proposed by the
government as soon as the machinery
can be put in operation, according to
President Konenkamp, of the Teleg-
raphers' International union. The
message from Konenkamp said that
David J. Lewis. who will be in active
charge of the wire service Of the
country, under government control.
has assured Konenkamp that rein
statement of the operators would be
one of the first things to be taken up
by the government. Konenkamp has
been called to Washington, ID. c., fol-
a conference with Lewis, Secretary
OF Labor Wilson and Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson.

a result of actions of the trade unions
during this war, and that if the NUM-
ton workers in England who recently
went on strike had not been organ
lied there would not have been a

that the president had declared that
the right of workers to organize

they had great number of votes

Whereas, On July II, just 10 days
prior to the visit of Colonel Disque
when as he says he saw so per cent
of the workmen loafing on the job
Chas. NJ. Schwab, head of the United
States Emergency Fleet Corporation,
and others Of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, visited the same yards
on a tour OF investigation to ascertain
the secret of the wonderful output of
ships by the shipbuilderS of this coast
as compared with the Atlantic; and,
in REPUTATION of the statements made
by Colonel Disque, Mr.. Schwab and
his colleagues told the men that to
them was due the most wonderful
feats of shipbuilding ever known.
Therefore, be it
Resolved. That we brand as false
the statements of Colonel Disque
Disque make good his accusations or
stand branded as falsifier and dis
grace to the cause which he tries to
make believe he is so DESTROYS of pro-
noting.
BE it further resolved, That we
pledge our every effort in behalf of
the Union of Timberworkers in their
efforts to organize the workmen in
the woods and lumber mills, to the
end that the principles so dear to all
who toll, the right to organize and
bargain collectively shall not perish
We demand that unless Col. Disque
ceases his attempts to destroy the
right of the workmen in the lumber
industry to organize, and that unless
he either proves his statements as to
shipbulders idling on the job, or ac-
knowledges he falsified, that we pc
tition the secretary of war that, in the
interests of industrial peace. that Col.
Disque be removed from the most i'm
portant position he now holds and
that a man with more understanding
of what is necessary to create indus
trial peace be placed in his stead, one
who will not attempt to deny work

rights-the right to organize and bar
gain collectively"

changes in every country. If prole-

the working class in all advanced in
dustrial countries will speedily be-
come FESTIVE under the present social
system. After the war is over, i'm
patience with the anti-social philos-
ophy which protects the exaggerated

obvious explanation of the bitter

stroy the revolution under the pre-
text of defeating Germany in the

AS for the revolution itself, DR..
Ross is hopeful and fair without min
inning its excuses, its failures and
its dangers. In the end, the peasants
dispose. Even if this great jury OF
millions of peasant should after a
time condemn socialized factories as
inefficient. unprogreSsive and waste
full. it does not follow that the private
capitalist will have his innings again.
The Russians have a wonderful knack
for cooperation. Within few years

among the peasants great move
ment for cooperative production. If,
however. for the sake of his intelli-
gent initiative and managing ability,
the business man is let back again
under conditions of freedom of enter
prise and production for private
profit, we may be very sure that. so
long as the Soviets endure, he will
not be allowed to conduct himself as
we see him conducting himself under
anu sotVHiS VI 40 "
which his class secretly control. He
will be not master in the house, but
servant. He will not be allowed, as
unmitigated private capitalism re-
quires, to drive underpaid and over
worked human beings to the produc-
ton of fraudulent or adulterated
goods, to be unloaded upon the public
by means of the plausible putting and
convincing mendacity known as adj
vertising. At the point where clearly
he begins to harm rather than serve
society, no lawyerly or judicial pratt

ship industrial freedom or hurt
ing business will avert the salutary

l.. :. TO TAKE OVER ALL
WATERFRONT LABOR BUREAUS

Action of the employment service
of the United States Department of
Labor in taking over the hiring of all
labor on the waterfront on Puget
Sound is believed to offer possible
settlement of the disagreements be-
tween the Longshoremen's Union and
the Waterfront Employers Associa-
ton. Since the strike on the Seattle
waterfront, a year and half ago, the
Employers Association has attempt
ed to control the situation through
employment bureaus under control
of the employers, and these institu-
tons have been conducted in such
way as to create friction. 1t is the
purpose of the government to estab-
lish and control waterfront employ
ment bureaus, putting in charge OF
them men satisfactory to employees
and employers. According to c. b.
Young. organizer of the Internation-
al Longshoremen's Association and
district president of the shipyard
workers branch of the Longshore-
mems Association, who was in Olym-
pia over Sunday, the success of the
plan depends on the men appointed
by the government to administer it.
Information of the proposed action
came in a telegram from J. b. Dens-
more. head of the government en-
ployment service. The telegram was
as follows:
Employment service will take
over all hiring halls on Puget Sound
for employment of waterfront labor
in accordance with decision of Ma
tional Adjustment Commission. All
employees must be on our payroll and
appointed by this service. We Will
appoint only men satisfactory both
to Seattle Waterfront Employers AS
ISOLATION and International Long
shoremeus Association. AS full CO.
operation is essential to national in
terests in the war emergency, and
distrust by either laborers or en-
ployer can not render effective ma
tional service. will send representa-
tive from here this week to organize
the offices and inform all parties in
terestcd."

SAYS FELIX FRANkFCRTER

Replying to an attack upon the
Government Labor Adjustment Board
nv City Attorney Fickert of san Fran
cisco. Felix Frankfurter. secretary or
the board says, writing from wash
ington, ID. c.:
News associations here report the
filing of affidavit by District Attorney
Fickert, which in effect attributes 10
me a statement indicating belief IN
MONEYS guilt and urging executive
action in MONEYS behalf solely III
order to placate radical opinion here
and abroad.

an opinion in regard to Moneys guilt
or innocence. On innumerable occa-
sions l said that l neither had an
opinion on the merits as to Mooney
guilt or innocence.
"The sole task of the presidents
mediation commission In investigat-
ing the Mooney case was not 10 pass
upon his guilt or his innocence but
to consider whether the clrcum-
stances which developed at the MOON
ey trial were such as to impair the
full confidence ordinarily to be &C

1.-THE presidents commission as
you know, reached the same conciu-
sion on this narrow issue as thaI
reached by the attorney general OF
the state Of California and the Judge
before whom the case was tried. Inc
reason that the federal government
was involved was because the circum-
stances of the case widely attracted
attention, both in this country ana
among the peoples of the allied coun-
tries and therefore became matter
of nationwide and international con-
Germ.
"All this has been set forth WIN
unequivocal clearness by the report
of the presidents mediation commis-
sion on January 16. That report SET
forth the findings which the commis-
sion reached and also set forth the
reasons why the commission was
charged with making the inquiry ana
the basis of it's recommendations
ANY opinion or belief outside OF
the report itself attributed to me or
the commission has no foundation
whatever in fact.

attorney, who is judicial officer act
ing under one of the most solemn
oaths imposed upon any Official
should wilfully or recklessly charge
others with acts which he must kno"

Fickert is true, but burden you VIII
