Farmer Visitors

Messrs. A. G. Ziehell and r. d.
Deselle from the Snohomish County
Agricultural Council were visitors.
Mr.. Ziehell, former delegate to
the Trades Council, said that large
quantities of produce were going to
waste because the farmers, under
the present system, could not get
their produce to the industrial
workers first hand because of the
handicap placed upon them by the
commission men. The latter. he
said, used every effort to prevent
direct dealing between the producer
and consumer for if they did not
their occupation would be gone. He
urged that small farmers and the
industrial workers make an effort
to establish cooperation as their in
terests are common. He said the
press taught both the farmer and
worker that each was the enemy
of the other and cited the Farmers
News, Seattle weekly. as being a
trouble breeder. The daily press.
too, he said, was full of misrep-
resentation
Mr.. Deselle spoke of the market
ing bill now before the Legislature
as being measure that would go
far in giving relief and liberating
the farmers from the clutches of
the middle men. 1t would enable
farmers organizations to build and
maintain warehouses, cold storage
plants, etc, which would aid in
freeing producers land consumers
from the exploitation of the trusts.
The farmer and worker have COM
munity interests which should be
crystalized in cooperation.
These gentlemen will visit Abe
Council again two weeks from to-

NEW WAR STAMP RULE

WASHINGTON, Feb. In its
campaign to stop profiteering in
War Savings STAMPS, the Post Of
flee Department has ordered post
masters to redeem these stamps
only for those persons whose name
is on the certificate, since, under
the regulations, they are not trans
ferable and are payable only to the
original owners, except in case of
death or disability"
Postmasters are also ordered not
to redeem these stamps presented
by persNs or firms known to be
buying, or publicly offering to buy
same, unless positive evidence is
submitted that the certificates were
originally issued to the persons or
firms presenting them for pay
ment."
In a previous order the Post Of
flee Department instructed persons
who find it necessary to@dispOse of
their stamps to present same to
their postmaster, who will redeem
them at face value

Stationary Engineers

The organization of the Steam
and Operating Engineers was re-
ported. This new union is now
working under charter. There are
eighteen charter members. S. L..
Body of the International Steam
and Operating Engineers Of Seattle
was the organizer. They have a
mixed charter which enables
them to include all the stationary
engineers in the city. They. have
under their jurisdiction steam boil
ers, stationary marine, portable,
hosting and electrical engines, or
any machine that may displace the
steam engine irrespective of mo-
tive power; all hosting and port
able engines on construction work,
etc. At the next meeting the union
will receive shingle and lumber mill
engineers, laundry engineers and
others. The next meeting will be
held in the Labor Temple next Sun
day at pm. The following Off
GERS were elected: Maurice Wilson,
president; Emil Gaudette, vice
president; Harry Parks, financial
secretary
Rumors were rife that the Nor
way-Pacific had laid off a number
of men from several unions working
in its yard
Bro. Philo Howard of Seattle
Typographical Union was present
and made a few remarks.
Bro. Tom Altman was invited to
say something and he did. He said
that approximately one hundred
men had been laid off on account
of delay in the receipt of materials
and that they would be called back
as soon as steel and other orders
were delivered.
He made a stirring appeal for aid
for the Local Label League and
warmly roasted the members of the
unions for lack of interest in this
indispensable auxiliary to trades
unionism. He suggested that a
meeting date be set and that dele
gates and other union men bring
their wives to the meeting to reor-
ganize and revivify the league. He
spoke of the unselfish aid given to
the unions by its members and the
unfaltering devotion of the half
dozen women who had kept if to-
gether. The delegates took their
medicine and gave promises of do
ing better in the future.
Bro. Altman said that the Com
mercial Club would aid organized
labor when in trouble. The work
ers and merchants have community
interests that should be cultivated
and encouraged in a spirit of CO.
operation.

BUILD NEW SCHOOLS
(Contributed)


Education is the bulwark of
American liberty. The public school
is the fortress Of education
Surveys made by the United
states Department of Labor,
through its Division of Public
Work and Construction Develop
ment. show that this country is far
behind It's needs in modern school
buildings. The education of our
children is not a playthiug TO be
taken up one moment and cast
aside the next. Effective instruc-
ton of children must be regular
and systematic Any other kind is
next to useless. Regular attendance
at school is as necessary to educa-
ton as regular meals are 10 life.

the school house are absolutely es-

Modern science demands that chill,

buildings which do not embrace

The future of this country rests
upon the education of the bows and
girls of today.
No consideration can be urged
against making that education so
thorough that the destiny Of the
country may he placed in the care
of its future guardians without ap-
prehension Of the consequences.
School buildings should be the
chief object of civic pride. Tax
rates, bond issues. financial buga-
boos of every kind should be thrust
aside when the building Of new
school is up for discussion. None
of these can outweigh in import
ance the value of education to the
child and to the country.
That is one Of the outstanding
facts of the war.
Not only are many of the old
school buildings useless for their

Interests of Property
Can No Longer Replace
Welfare of Citizens

OTTAWA, Can, Feb. l.
More stress must be laid here
after on the life, health and
welfare of citizens declared
President Rowell, of the Domin-
ion Privy Council, in a speech in
this city.
THE first consideration now
must be the living wage" he
said. 81 am prepared to say, in
so far as | personally am con-
cerned, having regard to the flu
ture of this great and growing
nation, that any industry which
cannot afford to pay living
wage cannot justify it's contin-
, ued existence here.
In the future the social well
fare of our people must receive
ever-increasing attention at the
hands of the Government of the
country, and one of the most
important problems facing the
Government is the problem of
the health and welfare of the
people in the cities and towns
where there is danger of conges-
ton of population.

HITS THEM BLOW
DIRECT ON THEIR
CONSTITUTION"
Organizer Analyses the Laws
of the Loyal Legion of Log
GERS and Lumbermen

lBy Harry Call for Tho Labor
Journal.
At last the much talked of con-
stitution and bylaws of the Loyal
Legion of Logecrs and Lumber
men is out. Since I have read it, |
can see every reason why they
should be reluctant to have it ever
get out. 1t is much worse than |
thought it would be possible for
any organization to adopt. But
presume that had carried the idea
that the war might have taught ev-
en- the millowneTs lesson in de-
mocracy, but I see that it did not.
In spite of the fact that they had
wrapped the Stars and Stripes about
themselves and called everyone else
pro German, as soon as | pull back
their holy garments | find the same
old sCaley crust underneath, there
has been no change in their minds
The rank and file of the ILL
will not need copy of the consti-
tuition because all of the powers of
the organization are vested in the
Board Of Directors. 1t is an ideal
system of gag rule and any work
ing man in the timber industry
that puts one cent of his money
into the organization is simply
making an installment on a piece
of hemp for the millowners to hang
him with, 1t is an insult to any
man in his right mind, to offer
such a rotten proposition in the
name of democracy.
Perhaps an analysis of some OF
the sections Of this democratic
constitution will throw some light
on the subject

SAYS BURLES0N
Is "RUTHLESS'

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. Or
ganiaea.. workers who oppose Post
master General Burleson because
of his anti-union policy. now have
judicial company-Judge Kinkead
of this city, who has issued a tenn
porary injunction against a tele-
phone company prohibiting the col
lection of long distance tolls in
sugurated by the postal chief.
While Ehe question of trade
unionism is not involved, the court
has undoubtedly placed himself in
Mr.. Burleson's undesirable list
because of language that only "agi-
tators' are supposed to use against
Government official.
Judge Kinkead said:
THE act of Congress does not
authorize the Government custo-
dian for war purposes to ruthless
ly attempt to override state
laws and state officials to whom
are committed the powers and du-
ties relating to such matters by
our own laws and statutes. A tenn
porary restraining order may be
allowed, and so far as this court is
concerned, the decree may be made
permanent without further hear
ing"

or BUSINESS PROBLEMS
BY HAROLD WHITEHEAD
Author Of THE Business Career Of Peter Flint"


words, and. let me admit, | was rather
eager to 60 on with the adventure. I'm
a pretty husky chap and know how to
look after myself
At Dukes suggestion | paid Bannock
Puryis another visit, and told him that
| was waiting until I'd shipped a lot
of toys on order before bringing in any
bills to borrow on.
Purvis tipped his cigar until the glow
ing end pointed to the ceiling. and. with
bands thrust in his trouser pockets, his
legs well spread, he said:
"All right, friend Smith, bring 'cn
up here and III help you through YOUR
troubles. I've got money enough to nut
YOU out of your misery"
Retterly also paid Purvis another
visit, at which he told him that his
'chief' might be Interested in Puryis's
enterprise, but he would want to nick
aud choose the concerns bills receivable
on which he would loan money.
What concerns, for instance. would
your mysterious boss want?" he asked
bit sulkily.
well, he rather liked the Metal
Jewel Company and Harvey & Jones
the printers
They are already taken care Of b,
other clients protested Purvis.
''Of course, but couldn't you transfer
other accounts to your other clients
and so leave these two firms for nv
client?"
Purris looked at Betterly Suspiciouslv
through narrowed lids, but that clever
man looked so innocent and easy that
Purvis evidently decided it was all right
He, therefore, said he'd "sce what
he could do and would report in few
days. Betterly returned a week later
only to be told that Purvis could NOT
arrange transfer of the two accounts.
Betterly (at Dukes coaching) then sug
gested that perhaps he could give his
check to the people holding the notes
of the two firms in question, and thus
release them for his "chief." This also
proved hopeless, for Purvis said 'ht
hadn't the money to do it with"
