OFFICIAL BULLETIN
STATE FEDERATION
Continued from Page One)

to draft labor legislation to be pre-
sented to the next Legislature.
Acting Governor Harris appoin-
tees are: State Senator e. l..
French, of Clarke County; Repre-
sentative Fred B. Norman, of Pa
cific County; John Pattison, of Spo-
kane County; d. c. Betting, of King
County, and w. L. Dimmick, Of
Yakima County.
1t was the belief of the members
Of the Executive Board of the
Washington State Federation of La
Dor, based upon opinions expressed
by the authors of the Industrial
Code Commission Bill while the leg
islation was under discussion, that
the principle of equal representa-
ton for Labor on any body dealing
with Labor matters, should govern
in the making of appointments to
the Commission.
The State Federation according
ly urged Acting Governor Hart to
give one of the three appointments
outside of the members of the State
Legislature to Organized Labor, and
names Of several prominent Trade
Unionists were submitted to him.
Despite this fact the Acting Gov
ernor made selections that leave Or
ganized Labor with but one men,
Der on the Commission, namely
Representative Norman.
In answer to a letter addressed
him by the Federation protesting
against the evident injustice done
Organized Labor and urging that
he grasp the first opportunity to
place another Unionist on the
Board in addition to Mr.. Norman,
Acting Governor Hart makes an
explanation that while plausible is
not logical, and it is to be hoped
that in due time he will see his way
clear to carry out the plain purposes
of the legislation. Otherwise, the
cooperation of Organized Labor in
the work of the new Commission is
bound to be less whole-hearted than
it would be in more favorable cir
cumstances.
Il am satisfied that if we had
put two members of Organized La
Dor on the Commission, the employ
ers would have demanded two rep

ers, says Acting Governor Hart in
his letter answering the State
Federation's protest. such a Com
mission, in my opinion, would have
been worse than useless. | believe
that with Mr.. Norman a member
of this Commission, and the other
men fair to Organized Labor, and
each particularly DESTROYS OF
bringing results at will be fair
to all, we can expect some good re-
suits.
Remember at all times that the
people directly and acutely inter
ested in this matter are the laborers
and the employers, but that the
great mass of the people who are to
be benefited and protected by the
legislation growing out of the work
of this Commission, are the people
who are neither members of Or
ganized Labor nor organized en-
ployers, and that this belief, cou-
pied with the fact that on a Com
mission of five the work is best bal
slnced with one representative of
each party directly interested, and
the balance of power comprising d
majority of the Commission and
consisting of broad-minded men,
unprecedented either by personal in
terest or by environment.
at is for this last reason that /
went outside of the congested labor
centers in order that the three
men should not be influenced by
their immediate surroundings to
the prejudice or detriment of either
side to the late controversy. -

SIX MONTHS TO PAY

The Victory Liberty Loan is here.
1t is the best bargain OF all OF
Americas stupendous war security
issues. That financie-s and scono-
mists agree upon. 1t Is also the
last of the Liberty Leans.
The loan is for S+,5QOO00,000,
supported by notes carrying -
per cent interest and liberal tax ex-
emption features. These are con-
vertible into notes bearing 50 per
cent interest, virtually free OF tax

BACK 'EM IN A CORNER


Hardly a day passes but you hear
some one say he is not going to
subscribe to the Victory Liberty
Loan or that he is through working,
or has bought all the bonds he can,
or some other pessimistic talk.
If you meet one of these luke
warm patriots, back him into a cor
ner and remind him of these facts
When America entered the war,
the duty of the people at home was
as clearly defined as that of the SOL
der.
The soldier offered to give all
10 make the fight for our liberty
and the liberty of all free peoples.
His was a duty which might mean
giving his life-the supreme sacri-
flee.
The duty of the people at home
was small compared to this, but it
was just as clearly defined That
duty was to put up our money at a
good rate of interest to make it pos
sible to fight the battle for HUI
manity-certainly a small obliga-
ton when compared with giving
your life. wasn't it?
One cannot hear this talk about
not buying Victory Liberty Bonds
Or not helping to sell Bonds with
out getting mad about it.

These are questions frequently

tremely wide field, and necessitates
delying much deeper into causes

lack of either power or knowl-
edge of the victims to rid them
selves of impositions.
Gradually the forces of educa-
ton and enlightenment have over
come what once seemed impossible
obstacles Today we find, not
merely in sections, but throughout
the entire world, the great mass of
the people demanding that Justice
between men be done, and outlining
in intelligent and constructive pro-
grams methods for its accomplish
ment. Governments that formerly
only recognized in theory this prin-
ciple now are coming to be COM
PEELED to recognize it in practice.
Acute interest will continue until
the application of this principle is
extended to all industry because,
without it's full application to in
dustry, political freedom and re-
sultant democracy can and will be
made a mockery.
One of the causes that immediate
ly affects the people of our State
and one that demands an early
remedy is the problem facing thou
sands of men employed in the tim
Der industry of this State and the
Northwest territory generally. For
years every effort of these men to
establish Labor organization
through which they might collect
lively voice their protests against in
justices and work out by the appli-
cation of their combined intelli-
gence, rather than the use of force
by either side, sound and construct
i've programs for relief, has failed.
The spirit of individual anarchy
that permeated a large number of
the men who for years have dom
mated this industry, and who have
consistently refused to recognize
the right as well as the necessity of
the men employed to organize into
Unions that are today the backbone
of every responsible Government in
the world, has bred as a natural
result a spirit of anarchy among
those who have suffered the injus-
tice that bodies i'll for the future

NATION WIDE EIGHT
HOUR DAY Is TIMBER
WORKERS. 1919 GOAL

~ ~ WITT
Establishment of a nationwide
eight-hour day in the lumber in
dustry before the end of the pres
ent year was the task set for the
rank and file of the organization at
the second annual Convention of
the International Union of Timber
workers, held in Seattle the first
week of the present month.
That the S-hour day obtained by
the workers in the mills and lum-
Ter camps of the Pacific Northwest
during the war must be retained
and extended to the other lumber
producing sections of the United
States, and that organization must
be taken up and pushed energetical-
ly with that one great end in view
was the unanimous decision of the
Convention
Organization for the shorter
work-day campaign was the all
absorbing topic discussed by the
Convention, which may we'll be re-
garded as having been the most
democratic and constructive the In
ternational has ever held.
A plan for nationwide organic
alton campaign submitted by Clair
Covert, President of the Interna-
tional, met with hearty approval of
the entire International Executive
Board The Board accordingly
authorized the law committee to
draft a resolution carrying out the
ideas expressed by President Covert.
Almost a whole day was devoted to
the discussion of organization work.
No one was denied the right to ex-
press his views, whether he was in
favor of the resolution or opposed.
Objections were invited, because all
wanted the best solution of the
problem. No delegates were asked
to take seats on the side lines, or
outside in the ante-room, if they did
not happen to endorse all the prop
ositions submitted (as was done in
the Ais convention). After much
discussion the resolution as present
ed was adopted without dissent
ing vote.
The reports of the officers were
listened to with the deepest inter
est and the officers were given a
rising vote of thanks for their good
work for the year just ended.
A resolution endorsing the prin-
ciples of a League of Nations was
introduced and was unanimously
adopted. The National Fraternity of
Organized Labor, sick and acct
dent benefit society composed of
members of Organized Labor only,
also was unanimously endorsed.
A number of delegates from the
Eastern pine district were in at
tendance. They reported organiza-
ton actively strong, and an effort
to establish the Shour day in that
direction will be made this year.
The Convention went on record
as insisting that a minimum wage
of not less than 81 day be estab-
lished in the present S-hour dis
tricts.
Local Timberworkers' Unions are
rapidly being formed in all timber
sections of the country. This is es-
pecially true in the Southern tim
Der belt. where the 10hour day
still prevails. Agitation of the en-
ployers to discourage organization
of the Southern workers is seen on
every hand, but for the first time in
the history of the American Labor
movement the workers are not
needing the siren song of the en-
ployers.

ditions Of the coal mining industry had
presented an unanswerable case for
the coal miners, and their hours were

mouth, with n promise OF further re-

after some experience with the first
reduction. Sporadic strikes in the en-
gineering trades had been settled and
an inquiry of the deepest significance
was in progress bearing on the ques-
ton of the naturalization OF the coal
mines. The inquiry, conducted on be-
half of the miners, by Mr.. Robert
! Smile. the head OF the miners union,
had partaken somewhat OF the sport
ing character OF a Pujo or Stanley in
quiry. but II was striking at the very
roots OF tho economic theory OF prop
erty rights.
Land Owners drilled.
Land owners whose title dated back
TO royal grants made in the fourteenth
century were being distressingly grllled
In public as to why a royal dispense
ton in the thirteen hundreds entitled
them to levy tribute on every ton of
coal to-day. when human beings who
happened to be miners were left with
division that gave them a share in
the profits OF an extremely profitable
business which would not maintain a
standard OF living under present con-
ditions.
regretted that this examination
did not bring out as it might the true
reason why land titles should be pro-
tected. The reason is not because those
titles were granted some centuries
ago. 1t is because In the main It has
been we'll demonstrated that It is better
for society that land titles should be
protected. Every communistic expert
ment in holding land has in the end
led to deterioration OF the land and
to less efficient cultivation. It is not

that the action OF the owners had GER
tainly obscured this point.
The labor leaders with whom I
talked impressed me profoundly. They
were men who had come up from the
ranks. but they were not agitators.
They were patriotic Englishmen with
a great love for their country and with
hope for its future. Some OF them
were men with no great amount OF
culture, but with wide knowledge.
They had an understanding Of eco

More Than n Million IDLE.
Returning to London on the first
day OF May found the situation as
completely changed as It would be
possible to imagine The great funda-
mental common sense of the English
people had asserted itself. The intelI-
gence OF the working classes and the
labor attitude OF the Government, the
public and the employers. had united
in at least a temporary solution, which
apparently removes any immediate
danger OF a violent or revolutionary
movement developing. During that
period some substantial progress was
made in actual adjustments OF diff
,-ferences, but OF much wider signih-
canoe was the general atmosphere not
so much OF mere concession as OF a
common recognition on all sides OF
certain fundamental principles
This was accomplished in the face
OF. or perhaps because of. a rapidly
growing army Of unemployed which
was increasing directly as the de-
mobilization OF the army proceeded.
That army reached by May l a num-
Der In excess OF 10000 who were

with additional grants for dependent
children. and costing the Government
Treasury above fl.250. 900 a week. This
had already brought the total paid In
unemployment tolls since the armis-
tice to above 5000, 900.
In the three months that had inter-
vened since my earlier observations
the strike on the tubes and the district
railway had been settled by the grant
ing of shorter hours. The difference
with railway employees had been, for
the time being, composed. The Gov
eminent partially meets the Views Of
