GRAY'S HARBOR UNIONS
HAVE HEADQUARTERS
(By V. r. Evans.)

A move recently launched by the
locals of the International Union Of
Timberworkers on Grays Harbor
seems destined TO have a far-reach-
ing effect upon the entire move
ment Assisted by the Internation-
al, through Vice President R. r.
Canterbury, the Timberworkers
have taken an option on one Of the
best located and equipped cigar
stores and pool rooms in Aberdeen
and are raising funds to make it a
headquarters for all union men on
the Harbor. The plan has been
tried out in Bend, Oregon, with re-
markable success, both financially
and from an organization view
point
Efforts to build labor temple on
Grays Harbor have failed in the
past and the lack of a central meet
ing place for union men has been a
serious handicap in the matter of
unifying the movement. The es-
tablishment of this headquarters by
the Timberworkers is bound to be
of immense benefit to all organized
labor on the Harbor through the
furnishing of an actual gathering
place.
A, !. Mccall has been employed
to manage the Union club, as the
headquarters will be called. Mccall
was formerly an organizer and In
ternational Vice President of the
Timberworkers and is one of the
best known loggers on the Harbor,
and no better selection could have
been made.
Support for the Union Club is
coming in rapidly, unions and in
dividuals freely advancing the
money to finance the project, and
there is no doubt that the Club viii
be in operation by June 1st
Owing to the reduction of crews
in the shipyards of the Harbor
through the completion of con
tracts, a number of the unions have
suffered loss Of members, but on
the other hand other unions are
gaining with new ones in prospect.
1t is expected that the Ufion club
will be of great assistance in unit
ing the movement to push the or
ganization work for the new unions
and is bound to increase the mem
bership of the Timberworkers
greatly. and with the basic indus
try we'll organized and solidified

CHERRY LABOR NEWS
FROM BELLINGHAM
(By L. L. Gifford.)

Bellingham, known for years
among leaders of the trade union
movement as a place hard to or
ganize," is living down that repu-
tation and before many months
will be one of the most thoroughly
unionized cities in the Northwest.
if Bellingham union boosters keep
up the pace they have set. Hardly
a week passes, nowadays without
the launching of a new union.
Crafts recently organized include
the retail clothing clerks, the gas
workers, the roofers and the boot
and shoe men.
The soft drink dispensers have
been organized into a mixed union
of the culinary workers, which has
passed the hundred mark in mem
bership as a result, and the retail
furniture clerks are discussing or
ganization.
The Bellingham carpenters have
virtually completed rounding up of
the last non-union workmen of
their craft and will soon be able to
boast of a 100 per cent organization
something undreamed of few
years ago.
Unionists, the newly organized
as well as the old timers, are put
ting their shoulders to the wheel to
make the Bellinghan convention Of
the Washington State Federation Of
Labor a success, and it is the hope
and expectation of loyal Belling
ham workers that the convention

WORLDWIDE BILL OF
RIGHTS FOR LABOR

NEW YORK, May 10.-The Even
ing Mail says:
"a response to the spirit of the
time and an enabling clause to the
new international law are found in
the supplement to the peace treaty
framed by the International Com
mission on Labor Legislation, of
which Samuel Gompers is Chair
man, and adopted by the Peace
Conference.
at is a bill of rights for the man
who labors that the Conference has
adopted. In its scope and signific-
ance it is not far different from the
Declaration of independence signed
by the spokesmen of the thirteen
colonies. 1t is, in effect, an annex
to that document.
"The Commissions plea for the
adoption of this labor bill of rights
was passed in the last analysis upon
labor's instinct of self-preservation
and upon its desire for the preserv-
alton of society upon it's present
foundations of reason and sanity.
There is nothing that savors of
unreasonableness in its stipulations,
or in any other clause in the pro-
posed bill of rights for the vast
mass of the peoples of all coun-
tries.
ut is peculiarly fitting, too, that
these pledges and declarations
should be made a part of the treaty
of peace.
This war has been fought and
won primarily to liberate man-to
liberate him from the horror and
the menace of invasion; to vindi-
cate his freedom, his sovereignty
and the integrity of his home and
mis- soul.
"It would have been grave act
of omission if in the definition of
the new and juster foundations of
the new order of the world the
rights of nine-tenths of its popula-
tion--its workers-had found no
affirmation.
THE eight-hour law, the prohi-
bition of child labor, a reasonable
living wage-all these declarations
are expressions of the new brother
hood of man, the new realization of
the right of peoples to govern
their own lives and to work out
their own destinies.
Labor has a right to specific in
clusion in this new brotherhood,
this new guarantee of the freedom
of self-determination and self
development.
THE world could not, in this un-
Irecedented period of righting of
wrongs, have denied to its working
people-the foundation of its
T, wer and its happiness-the guar
antees to which they are plainly
entitled"

, the present officers Of the Fed
Grafton, to try to prejudice dele
gates-elect to the Belingham ton
vention of the Federation, June
9Th, against these officers before
the time the officers can render
their annual report, and thus rem
der an account of their steward
ship.
Many of the members of the EX
ecutive Council OF the Federation
have served for years and have
been unanimously reelected at each
successive Convention, Committees
appointed to consider their reports
having presented hearty commenda-
tion of their services and the Con-
vention subsequently having just
as heartily reported the findings of
these Committees.
We have had ample opportunity
to observe the work of these Off
cials and know something of their
tireless efforts in the cause of La
Dor; and we think it highly repre-
hensible for anyone to form a pref
udice against a faithful officer in
advance of convention before
having an opportunity to fairly
Judge the work of that officer for
the preceding term.
We therefore urge your organ
ization to elect its full quota Of
delegates; and in electing them to
select fair-minded trades union
members who will render justice
where justice is due. If this is
done, deserving officers will re-
ceive just approval while unde-
serving officers may with reason
expect the reverse. But let us de-
eide these matters through fair
minded, duly elected delegates, as
the Constitution provides for cleo
ton of officers by the Convention.
If you are not represented at this
most important Convention. your
union may regret that fact, for the
problems confronting Labor in this
reconstruction period are most Sc
rious, and this Convention will, by
its actions, have great influence
upon the settlement of these prob
lens. Please elect a full quota of
delegates and help solve these probs
