UP IN
AIR." HANSON SAYS
SEATTLE MAYOR DECLARES sen.
ATOR "OUT OF HARMONY"
WITH PEOPLE.

"Up in the air, and he didn't have
to take an airship to get there either"
is the comment made bt Mayor Ole
Hanson of Seattle on the attack of
United States Senator Miles Poindex-
ter on the league of nations In an ad-
dress in Seattle last Thursday night.
"If Senator POindexter maintains
the position he took here he will find
himself out of harmony with the ma
jority of the people, not only in this
state but throughout the country"
Mayor Hanson said. THE people
want something that will make war
improbable, and anybody who opposes
that general idea won't get very far.
Senator Poindexter's attitude now
Is complete reversion of that In
1912 when he Endorsed the principle
of the league of nations by subscrib-
ing to the Progressive party platform.
That platform pledged the Progress.
sjve party to use its best endeavors
to substitute judicial and other peace
full means Of settling International
difficulties and favored 'an interna-
tional agreement for the limitation
of naval forces If that isn't endors-
ing the principle of the league. of ma
tions don't know what it is.
1.-THE Republican party in 1912 also
declared for this principle in the fol-
lowing language: Together with the
peaceful and orderly development at
home. the Republican party earnestly
favors all measures for the establish
ment and protection of the peace Of
the world and for the development Of
closer relations between the various
nations of the earth. 1t believes most
earnestly in the peaceful settlement
and in the reference of
controversies between nations to an
international court OF justice
Senator Poindexter Is out of har-
mony with both these declarations"

SAYS LABOR CONDITION
HERE BEST IN COUNTRY
Exceedingly Encouraging" Says u.
5. Employment Director at
Tacoma

An actual shortage of labor to fill
positions offered, excepting carpen-
ters, is reported by c. Roy Fleming,
in charge of the United States en-
ployment services Office in Tacoma.
The Office closed last Saturday even
ing with about 200 jobs chalked up
on the blackboard, waiting for men.
THE labor condition of the entire
state of Washington. as shown by the
reports sent us from the other offices
weekly, is the best in the country" Z"
Mr.. Fleming says. "It is exceedingly
encouraging. There are probably
$4,000 workers tributary to this Of
fee. A 10 per cent unemployment,
which vas not uncommon before the
war. would mean 5000 out of work
II we have got this down to 500 now,
1t is remarkable"
The absorption of labor is notice
able in many different directions and
u
dition of industry. generally, accord
ing to Mr.. Fleming. There is q big
demand for sawmill workmen, as
mills in small centers are re-Opening
after repairs or lay-Offs, and some
mills are putting on night shifts
Millmen report an increasing demand
for house building material, while
the call for dimension timbers is
slackening.
Grain ranches of the eastern part
of the state are absorbing hundreds
of men. The Wenatchee office called
for expert teamsters capable of hand
ling six to 10 horses or mules. Really
capable men can get $40 or $15 a
month and board, ii is said. The Ta-
coma office sent - men last week
over the mountains, Ranches west
of the mountains, too. are calling for
men.

TAKE SEED OYSTERS
FROM W|LLAPA BEDS
PIRATES HAVE STRIPPED STATE
REsERvEs-NO FIND FOR
PATROLLING.

Reports to State Fish Commission
er l.. H. Darwin from deputies. who
have examined the Willapa Harbor
oyster beds belonging to the state in
dicate that oyster pirates have taken
all the available supply of seed oys-
terB and there will be none to offer
for sale to Willapa Harbor growers.
It II stated in one report received
by the fish commissioner that the
longing for oysters has been so re-
cent that the marks of the tongs have
been found at some spots on the
states beds.
While there will be no seed oys-
ters to sell. 1t is possible the state
maY gather from 100 to $50 sacks OF
mature oysters next fall and sell
them in the open market.
The Willapa Harbor oyster beds
have been closed to allow them to re-
plenish themselves. Because of the
shifting sands on the harbor it is i'm
practicable. oyster men declare. to
adopt diking system. for the sands
would be caught by the dikes and
ultimately fill up the beds. For that
reason they cannot be developed by
artificial means as have been the state
beds on Puget Sound.
Under the old law the states nat
ural oyster beds have been reserved
for seed oyster purposes for the dis
tricts in which they are located. This
has meant that the beds had to be
for they could not
receive financial assistance from oys-
ter beds in another part of the state.
AS the Willapa, Harbor beds have been
closed to give them chance to re-
plenish themselves. the state has re-
ceived no money from them and
therefore could not provide a patrol
sstem to guard against pirating by
INSCRIPTIONS oyster men.
In the fish code which failed OF
passage at the last legislative session
provision was made for patrolling the
beds, Irrespective of their ability to
support themselves, but as this meas
ure did not pass there is no immediate
prospect of protection for the Willapa
Harbor reserves.

VICTORY LOAN IS
WAY BEHIND HERE
ONLY $5O,OVO BOUGHT FIRST
WEEK ON QUOTA OF
1885, 600.

Facing a subscription of only $780,
1000 during the first week of the Vic
tory Loan campaign, on a quota of
$3S5.6OO, the Thurston County Lib
erty Loan committee plans a meet
ing in the next day or two to devise
plans to stimulate greater interest
locally in the governments final war
bond issue, Chairman Thos. l..
O'Leary said Friday.
The total of $4,000 refers only to
subscriptions made at the two local
banks, no reports having been re-
ceived as to subscriptions made by
residents of Tenino. Tono. Yelm,
Rochester and other points in the
county. These probably would raise
the total somewhat, but the week s
record is taken by the committee to
indicate that more direct campaign
ing. similar to that conducted in the
four previous drives, will be neces-
sary to insure the success of the loan
in this county.
Contrary to conditions here, Lewis
county went lover the top" on its
quota practically the first day, while
Grays Harbor county was over by
Wednesday. Other Southwest coun-
ties are also reported going strong,
but Pierce and King counties are
tagging behind. like Thurston. The
campaign throughout the country.
however. is progressing encouraging.

The Olympia Trades Council, the
central organization of the various
local unions. is cooperating with the
: liberty Loan committee, through q
! lommittee composed of Secretary
Fred Hudson, H. L. Messegee and
Mrs. T. P3Holcraft. The local Metal
Trades Council will also appoint a
committee of three to aid in the cam
paign.

to those which operated in previous
