"STRONG" UNION MAN PLUGS
FOR MOUNT.

There was one question connected
with the late political campaign upon
which labor men ought to have been
unanimously agreed - the necessity
of retiring to private life two reac-
tionary privilege controlled supreme
court judges. 1t remained for local
strong" union man according to
the local kept press) to disagree with
the other seventy thousand union
men of the state.
There was absolutely no question
about the facts, and the campaign
dope holding up Main and Mount as
judges was pure and un-
fraud. 1t is appears that
the aforesaid strong" union man
believes his allegiance to political
fixers is of more Importance than
the duty which every member of a
nuion owes to the organization which
is his only protection against serfdom.
The strong" union man has little
conception of the principles of the
trade union movement and he has
not learned that this movement IL
the only one that is moving ahead
or has moved ahead since he was

living and so necessitate further in
creases from time to time. Anyone
with any knowledge of economics at
all knows that wages almost never
rise until after the increase in prices
But even if their statement were
true, it is an admission that labor's
reward is subject to regulation and
will continue to be regulated, while
that of the employer is to be left en-
tirely unregulated except by the con-
ditions of the free and open market.
1t is an essentially vicious statement
that is entirely out of line with the
principles of industrial democracy
that such organizations as the War
Labor Board are putting into effect.
Emphasis is laid upon the fact that
the international and local repre-
sentatives of the different crafts in
volved in the award Unanimously"
requested national wage scale. This
is disputed by some of the local rep
resentatives who were there and
were not given an opportunity to
make their appearance before the
board. But even if this were true,
it is true only so long as the award
is high enough to meet the cOndi-
tons of increased cost # living. In
this connection the statement that
there has been an increase in the
cost of living of less than 10 per cent
in the period from October, 1917, to
February, 1918, and an average of
only 20 per cent in the period from
October, 1917. to October, 1918. is
contradicted by the experience of
every worker in the city of Seattle.
Besides, the workers are not given
an increase approximating even this
increase in the cost of living, but are
asked to absorb rs per cent of it
from their already meager wages and
are allowed in the case of mechanics
only Is per cent increase.
The Macy board award is dis
grace and a shame and slap In the
face to the loyal and patriotic ship
yard workers of the Pacific coast who
have made possible the realization
of the shipping boards program by
getting out the ships, no matter what
difficulties they went up against

WAR CHEST BUDGET
CONFERENCE SUBJECT

Meeting with the finance commit
tee of the County Council of De-
tense Friday night of last week, del
egates of the Trades Council, ap-
pointed to cooperate with the COM
mittee, discouraged the plan to So
licit and collect war chest" fund
to finance war community service
work for the forthcoming year.
The proposal is to combine all the
different war activity demands with
the Red Cross and secure in one drive
cash or pledges of funds sufficient to
liquidate the county's estimated quo
tas during the ensuing year.
, The conference of the committee
continued for something over two
hours and the plan was finally re-
ferred back to the council of de-
tense.
The council of defense decided that
the war chest fund plan would not
be attempted at this time, but that
the drive in behalf of the seven war
service organizations would proceed
according to schedule.
The labor men claimed that the
war chest plan would not appeal to
the people at this time, and gave
many reasons for their position,
among them:
That peace was imminent and
therefore the propriety Of raising a
large fund to support work in the
environments by religious institutions
for q year in the future. when these
environments might be abandoned in
a few months, was open to question;
That the combining of Red Cross
and Y.M.C.A.. Salvation Army, WV.
G. A, Jewish Welfare. League. etc /,
would have q tendency to weaken
support of the most important work
of the Red Cross:
That the sum necessary to finance
the war chest idea for year would
necessitate too great an immediate
demand upon the average wage
Garner, the approximate sum to be
aemanded running from SO to SIS
zach;
That the recent unsatisfactory
wage decision of the Macy board had
not created favorable state Of mind
among shipyard workers.;
That the frequency of claims for
donations upon the workers in the
shipyards had become somewhat bur-
densome;
That the assessment estimates OF
the finance committee were not eQult-
