WIN.THE-WAR SPIRIT
IN BUSINESS LETTERS

"See that a win-the-war spirit gets
into your business letters" is the
slogan of movement launched to-
day by the Department of Com
merce to remind business men that
the everyday business letter is =
most effective instrument for Great
ing confidence in the Governments
war policies and for inspiring others
with the determination to see the
war through at any cost. I Z
"The idea was first brought for
ward in connection with American
business letters to foreign coun-
tries," said Secretary Redfield to-
day. "The volume of our. foreign
business mail is very large. It
reaches firms in all but the enemy
countries. For the most part it is
read by those who are for US, but
you may be, sure that it reaches
many who doubt our success and
many who are at heart against us.
l am sure that every foreign busi-
ness man who opens an American
letter is quick to detect even the
slightest indication of the writer's
feelings on the conduct Of the war
and its outcome. ,,.. (:
at is of the utmost importance
therefore that the American busi-
ness letter breathe confidence in ev-
cry line. If the manufacturer or
exporter feels that he has just
grievance against restrictions i'm
posed on his trade, by all means let
him go right to headquarters and
register as emphatic complaint as
he feels is justified. But he GER
tainly should not carry the matter
into his business letters. It is
sure to create an entirely erroneous
impression in some minds.
"Let the American business man
make known to the whole world that
he is for this war and that he is
going to see it through, regardless
of inconvenience, loss of trade, loss
of money, or anything else. Every
manufacturer ought to be fearless
in expressing his sentiments even
though he may be writing to a con-
cern whose sympathies he may sus-
pect are not wholly with US. Don't
give foreign concern the idea that
you are apologizing for your Gov
ernment's restrictions or that you
are chatting under them. Spread
the impression, the absolute correct
impression, that over here we are
backing this war unqualifiedly."

COVERT CLEARS UP A
MISUNDERSTANDING
Seattle, Washington,
March 30th, 1918.


Col. Brice P. Disque,
Spruce Production Division, U. S.
Signal Corps. Yeon Bldg, Port
land, Ore.
Dear Sir: Some days ago l had
the honor of a conference with you
in Portland, where we went into the
labor situation In the lumber in
dustry to a considerable extent. You
mentioned at that time, that Gen
eral Organizer C. o. Young of the
American Federation of Labor had
been sent to this section by Mr..
Gompers, president of that organ
ization, to cooperate with you in
the production of spruce for the
airplane needs of the army, and as
YOU understood it not to extend the
organization Of the workers in the
lumber industry.
I did not at that time have full
information on the matter. but
since then | have taken the matter
up with Mr.. Young. and he advises
me that while he is under direction
from president Gompers and the
dictates of his own sentiments to
lend all possible assistance to your
department, as well as to the gen.
sral program of the government, he
is under no direction to suspend his
work of organizing the men employ
ed in the lumber industry.
Moreover, he and join in the view
that since the American Federation
of Labor has pledged its whole heart
ed support to the Government, there
can be no legitimate objections on
your part to the extension Of this
work on the part of Mr.. Young,
myself and others.
Mr.. Young was sent here by the
American Federation of Labor to
cooperate with you in the working
out of some program that would
help to meet the emergency exist
ing in the lumber industry. He
expresses the deepest regret that
| while he has been herefor months,
indeed, since you yourself arrived.
he has been invited only twice to
meet you, and then only for a very
brief interview. He asked and hoped
to be informed of your plans, and
understood that this was to be done,
but for some reason he has re-

LIBERTY LOAN
MASS MEETING

The mass meeting held under the
auspices of the Trades Council at
the High School Auditorium last
Tuesday night was interesting, but
in point of attendance it was not
what it should have been.
1t was what it was advertised to
be Liberty Loan meeting to stir
up little enthusiasm, but the
crowd was too small. Too many
people have been lulled into a sense
of security and it seems impossible
to even get them to think that their
liberties are in danger.
The meeting was called to order
by Vice-P President Francois of the
State Federation of Labor. The
speakers of the evening were Clay
ton M. Williams and C. o. Young,
General Organizer for the American
Federation of Labor
These gentlemen delivered short
but fervid addresses, which were well
received by the audience.
The Liberty Loan Committee were
fortunate in securing most excellent
music for this occasion. There was
a chorus of forty little school girls
which showed able and careful train
ing. They sang "Buy a Liberty
Bond for Freedom" in which the
audience was induced to join after
a little persuasion.
A double quartette of young Ia
dies and gentlemen was well rem
dered and encored.
Master Elliott Kohne played Z
violin solo which was real musica
treat. Master Kohne will become
a virtuoso of rare ability.
Miss Ethel M. Henson was musi
cal directress.

ADJUSTMENTS
JOHN DREW

As Lord Quex in Pinero's Gay
Lord Quex." which comes to the
Grand Opera house Monday evening.
April % John Drew has another role
which fits him like the proverbial
glove. Quex is an urbane. polished
man about town. whose wealth and
high social position not only give him
the entree to the most select circles
but also place him in the way Of
great temptations. To many, Of these
temptations the gay Lord Quex has
succumbed. Still underneath the
sophisticated and somewhat furnished
exterior Of Quex there remains .
solid residium Of manliness and gen.
crosby. These qualities are only
evoked in him when his one big
chance for happiness seems to be
slipping from him. In a role 80 var
led in detail John Drew may. always
be expected to play with a finish
that closely approaches perfection.
