TEAM OWNERS ORGANIZE.

Team owners of Olympia met in
Labor Hall. Thursday evening, Feb
ruary Fl, and perfected an organi-
cation, following this on Monday
evening with the publication of a
revised and increased scale of prices.
The motive for the organization and
for the price boost Is said to be the
improved conditions demanded and
secured by the drivers. Another in
cident, it is said, had equally as much
to do with the change in prices and
the getting together-the visit of a
committee of team owners from Ia
coma and Seattle. The visiting COM
mittee not only emphatically out
lined the weaknesses of the team
owning business in Olympia without
sensible organization, but endeavored
to camouflage the committee from
the Transfers union. In the latter
attempt they met with distinct fail
ure. The visitors got results, how
ever, and the employers are now or
ganized and will underwrite individ-
ual contracts with union as we'll as
stand together for adequate prices
for their services.

OTHER TIGHT ASSOCIATIONS.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Noticed a slightly sarcastic refer
ence to millionaire ship carpenters
in local paper, also heard incident
ally that the business men were much
Disguised with the unions. So, with
your kind permission, will air few
observations of my own:
Have noticed that almost every
branch of business in town has its
own method of standing together.
For instance, the groceryman has a
tight little association, that keeps
the price of his wares at certain
level; should one grocer sell, even a
scent piece cheaper than another,
the association members at once set
about to smother him, and I notice
that the prices of groceries easily
keep abreast of any increased wages
that the millionaire" ship carpen-
tiers may obtain. The doctors, the
dentists, the lawyers and, in fact, all
professional men, have an agreed and
fixed price for their services and a
union to enforce its edicts; and even
the banks want slice of the lemon
and have agreed to charge rs cents
a month for handling the huge &C.
counts of millionaire shipyard work.

LABEL LEAGUE.

The Women's Card and Label
League held regular meeting the
evening of February 81. from 6 to
1880. Discussion was had of ways
and means for increasing the sale of
union-made articles in the stores of
the city; plans were outlined for an
increase of active membership, and a
committee instructed to prepare for
social session in connection with
the Trades Council meeting. This
social was scheduled for February 20
but developments in the laundry sit
uation and the decision to hold a
mass meeting on February % In the
interest of the laundry workers and
other employees of the laundries, has
caused a postponement Of the social
to the first Thursday evening in
March.

FREEDOM OF OPINION.

A fundamental principle of the
Labor Movement is that it's members
shall defend freedom of opinion and
of the press at all times. And GER
tainly no body Of our people observe
this principle in better faith than
the trade unionists.. They are con-
stantly facing adverse criticism, some
of 1t due to deliberate misrepresenta-
ton, some of it due to the education
of the editor in an alien atmosphere,
much of 1t due to ignorance which
is safeguarded against enlightenment
by an Unborn toadyism to wealth.
Labor unions will get little honest
publicity unless they furnish 1t
themselves, and that is the theory
upon which this department is based.
This department is not censored by
anyone outside the union forces, and
Of course it is hardly within the
province of the labor forces to die
tate the policy of the other depart
ments of the paper. We believe that
the kind of publicity given us in this
department is worth while. We will
get the unfavorable publicity anyway
and this page acts as a sort of coun-
ter-irritant.
We hope and believe that union
men have stomach enough to digest
unfair criticism, wisdom enough to
see the value of its own sort of pub
1icity, and stability enough to give
this department it's proper support
without regard to the opinions that
appear in the editorial columns Of
the paper.

"PATRIOTs FOR PUBLICATION"

Approval has been expressed at the
treasury department of the sugges-
ton of a Washington banker that
the current weakness in liberty bond
quotations would be largely over
come If banks would buy from their
customers at par such bonds Of low
denominations.
But the treasury did not believe
that the remedy would soon place
both the first and second liberty As
practically at par" And in ex-
planning their belief the federal on
Gals threw light upon the reasons
for the weakness of the As.

tion." a treasury chief declared.
helped to float the original issue of
these bonds. Men of large means
bought big blocks in order that gos-
sip or the newspapers might make
the fact known. But these men had
no intention of letting the nation
use their dollars even in a great
emergency-it was going to be the
next mans dollars. So the original
buyers held their bonds only long
enough to keep from breaking the
market sharply. BY degrees they
unloaded in order to reinvest for
larger profits. That their continu-
Gus. heavy sales have eventually de-
pressed the liberty issues from 2 to
4 per cent did not much concern
these public-spirited gentlemen; ac-
customed to taking traders risks,
they were quite willing to accept a
small loss as the price of their repu-
tation for generously doing their
Bit"
Inasmuch. then, as, according to
the treasury observers, the depres-
sion in As was started and is main
tanned by the operations of wealthy
men. renewed purchases of the $50
and 800 bonds by small investors,

pected to bring back quotations

And the socialists of Germany have

very trap laid for the Bolsheviki
This is shown by what they tried to
do at Stockholm.
They invited the socialists and
workingmen of the world to meet at
stockholm in order to discuss terms
OF peace. Then they fixed up the
representation so that the Kerensky
socialists would not be represented,
but the pro-Germans would send del
egates. The Kerensky socialists
knew what Germany would do to
Russia. The pro-German Russians
were willing to yield to the socialists
of Germany.
In the same way the German So
cialists fixed up the representation at
Stockholm SO that the 100000 social
: lists in America would have 16 dele
gates. and the 100000 trade union
lists only delegates.
What is happening to Russia Is
exactly what would have happened
to the workingmen of France, Eng
land, and America If our government
had permitted the German socialists
in America to go to Stockholm to
conspire with their brother socialists
from Germany and Austria.
The German socialists declared

Indeed, the kaiser and the German
socialists can we'll do without an

CHANGE IN SCHOOL POLICY MAY
PROVE FIZZLE.

Residents of the district about the
Washington school have placed in
the field a candidate for school
director.
This action of the east siders is
supposed to be in response to wide
spread demand for a change of policy
In the conduct of our schools, but, In
the opinion of many people, it will
prove fizzle.
The demands of the people are
that clique control of school officials
be abolished and that progressive
educational system be substituted
for the lock-step methods which are
now the vogue in Olympia.
1t transpires that the present at
tempt to displace a director repre-
sents methods akin to those with
which the city has been burdened.
only the new clique Is just trfife
more abbreviated than the old.
1t appears that they need new
single on the roof of the Washing
ton school, or that teacher In that
institution holds views not exactly
in accord with the views of some Of
the patrons of the school.
The chief slogan OF the campaign
will be that the east side should
have representative on the school
board. Such campaign represents
the provincial idea apd will not ap-
peal to those who believe that the
best is none too good for Olympia
schoolrooms.
OF what avail Is it to elect candi-
date put forward by few people.
when neither the candidate nor his
hackers have anything more definite
in the line of policy than the plant
that the east side ought to be repre-
scented on the school board? The
electors are safe in concluding that
the present contest is not worth much
powder. A change will mean a
change in men only.

cancies in the school board Some
