THE RETAIL CLERKS
ORGANIZE A UNION

Last Friday evening a number of
Everett retail clerks met with Geo
Vingen, Harry Snyder and John
Beck, an organizing committee
from the Trades Council, and ef-
fected the formation of a union.
This new union elected tempor-
ary Officers as follows: President,
E. J. Edney; Vice-President, f. R.
Tarbell; Secretary, A. Bradford;
Treasurer, A. R. Nelson; Sergeant
alarms. Walter Bailey.
Steps We're taken to perfect the
organization and an American Fed
Grafton of Labor charter applied
for.
All clerks are invited to become
members of the union with the
surety of lettering their working
conditions.
There was, a number Aof years
ago, strong clerks union in this
city but many of its members, feel
ing they could gain nothing more
by maintaining their organization.
became lax in their union activities
and allowed their charter to lapse.
Gradually they found that the
benefits gained by unionism also
lapsed. Nor were the clerks alone
in this lack of collective action.
The membership of several voca-
tions committed the same error.
All union men and women will
be pleased to welcome any and all
wage earners to their councils, to
the end that they may add their
strength 10 the cause of construc-
tive unionism and share in its ben
efits.
The Retail Clerks will meet at
1880 tonight in Hall No. 2. Labor
Temple to further consider matters
of interest to the union, and listen
to speeches by men of experience
in the good cause. International
Secretary Morey E. Weisfield will
be present.

NORTH DAKOTA ENTERS
FIELD OF INDUSTRY

BISMARCK, N. D., March s.
With the signing Of several bills by
Governor Frazier. North Dakota en-
ters upon a program of State indus
try that is without parallel in the
history of this country.
By these bills the State will es-
tablish and operate the Bank of
North Dakota; build and operate
terminal grain elevators and flour
mills; establish and operate State
Builders Association for the pur-
pose of enabling inhabitants of
the State to build and own their
own homes; and set up an Indus
trial Commission to manage these
and the other industries the State
may decide to embark upon under
the unlimited power granted by
new amendments to the State con-
stitution.
The amendments to the consti-
tuition, approved at the last cleo
tion, remove the limit on State in
debtedness and authorize the State
or any city or county to engage in
any industry or business except
the manufacture of intoxicants.
Other amendments provide easier
methods for amending the State
constitution and limits the State
Supreme Court in declaring laws
unconstitutional.

women's 44-hour week and mini
mum wage laws; a mining law and
various laws providing for new
methods of taxation and of regu-
lation of freight rates and fran

COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING
BILL PASSED
1t Applies the Principles of the
Clayton Act, Now United
States Law

OLYMPIA, March 12.-The Sen
ate today unanimously passed
House Bill 2S3, for which union
labor leaders have been fighting
for several years. 1t applies the
principle of the Federal Clayton
Act to labor organizations within
the State.
This act recognizes the right OF
workers to bargain collectively
and prohibits courts from issuing
injunctions or restraining orders
against strikers, unless a showing
in writing is made of impending
danger to property or property
rights. 1t states that human labor
is not commodity.

WILL BURLESON
FORCE STRIKE?

WASHINGTON, March S.-The
labor policy of Postmaster General
Burleson is precipitating strike
of telephone employees on the Pa
cific and Atlantic Coasts that may
extend throughout the country.
These workers, both men and
women, are members of the Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers and
they are asking for machinery that
will consider grievances, adjust
controversies, working conditions
and pay. The telephone companies,
now under Government control, tell
the workers they are unable to act
and refer them to Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, while that official
assures the workers that the COM
panies can act if they so desire.
The employees have tired of these
tactics,
Telephone operators in Massa-
chusetts. New Hampshire, Maine
and Vermont have declared by a
vote of 1920 to 65O in favor of a
strike. The 1000 electrical work
ers employed as linemen in this dis
trict have unanimously declared for
a strike. On the Pacific Coast the
vote is 50 per cent in favor of sus-
pending work.
Officers of the Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, located at
Springfield, ILL.,, have submitted a
referendum to all operators and
men whether the strike will be
made general. Another referendum
provides for an immediate assess
ment of So and a monthly assess
ment of 81 to finance the strike
If this plan. is approved it means
approximately $500, 600 immediate
ly and $12O,OO0 a month while the
strike lasts.

WITHOUT A LEAGUE Of NATIONS
THE WAR WAS FOUGHT IN VAIN

(By A. NJ. Simons, of the Ameri-
can Alliance for Labor and De-
mocracy).
Though senators rage and ina
gine vain things against it, a war
weary world will have a League OF
Nations.
Though monarchists and militar-
lists have united with Bolshevists
to oppose it, the League of Nations
is coming. Imperialists intrigue,
invoke secret treaties and the cum
ming of diplomacy against it at the
peril of summoning revolution.
The fate of the war and the
world rests upon the outcome of
the Battle of Paris" If autocratic
imperialism and reaction wins
there it can laugh at the defeats
of Liege, Verdun, Chateau Thier-
ry, st. Mihiel and the Argonne
Forest.
The spirit of Prusslanism in hu-
man relations, defeated and almost
destroyed in the armed conflict it
invited, has rallied to this last bat
tie with new and powerful allies.
The machinery of the still pow
erful German propaganda service,
drawing new life and support from
international monarchists, militar-
lists and reactionaries, is making
mock of the things for which mil
lions died. 1t is aided by skulking
snipers in the rear who sneer at
democracy and insult the fighters
by charging that they fought with
no thought of principle, but only
to win the war"
That citizen army did not fight
for phrases nor blind victory. 1t
fought for the principles to which
this great nation pledged its hon
or. 1t will go hard with those who
now seek to make of those pledges
of principle, mere lying scraps of
paper.

Those who are doing this, who
are trying to betray the bond that
was sealed in the terrible four
years of blood. are conjuring up
the demon of chaotic revolution
and the very destruction of civiliza-
tion.
That blood was shed that the
threat of war and the burden of
preparation for war and the eX-
ploitation and oppression that leads
to war might end forever. The first
step toward that end is the League
Of Nations. TO the support of that
League are rallying all those
forces that answered the call to
the crusade that drove the Hun
beyond the Rhine.
These millions come with no
Some have left their own comrades

the frozen trails of Italian noun
tains and the bleak beaches of
GallipoI. With them, in this fin
al battle, are standing the women
who wept and worked that the fac
tories might feed the cannon. All
those are determined unto death
that the agony of those fearful
four years shall not have been en-
dured to pave the way to greater
future misery.
These people do not wish revolu-
tion no more than they wished war.
Peoples suffer most in both. They
seek democracy and peace and
freedom through orderly progress.
But just as they did not hold back
from the supreme sacrifice of war
when democracy, peace, freedom
and progress were threatened by
German aggression, neither will
they shrink before revolution to
prevent the fruits of war being sto-
len by trickery and force.

THEY HAVE RESUMED
WORK IN SH|PyARDS

In accordance with the majority
vote of the shipbuilding unions of
Seattle, Tacoma and Aberdeen the
yards in those cities were opend
Tuesday and the $4,000 strikers
began to show up for work. They
were taken back as rapidly as pos
sible without discrimination. This
adds another remarkable feature to
this remarkable strike. 1t has here
tofore been the habit of employers
to refuse work to leaders in a
strike.
This was the best organized and
most peacefully conducted strike
which ever occurred on this con-
tinent, considering the magnitude
of the industry, and the great num-
ber of strikers involved.
The Union Record of Monday
says:
Although the vote in many le-
Gals was very close-in one there
was an affirmative majority of on

COMBINE UNUSED LAND AND UNUSED
LABOR FOR THE NATIONAL WELFARE

and there throughout the country.
To create these communities and to
bridge the gap between the worthy
soldier or laborer who wishes the
farm on the one hand, and the un-
used land on the other hand, the
Government is planning to advance
its credit and to use it's organiza-
ton. Communities will be laid out;
the land made suitable for agricul-
ture; the necessary public build
ings erected. This will provide i'm
mediate employment for thousands
and thousands of skilled men.
In addition to this, it will give
an opportunity for the trained
worker to secure ultimate inde-
pendence without the evils of iso-
lation which formely were inher-
ent in starting on a farm, and
without the need of preliminary
accumulation of capital which, in
the past, has placed a handicap
upon the average wage-earner in
connection with agricultural work.
BY means of farming communities,
consisting of number of small
farms, running from two to ten
acres each, the "wage
ers'' will have the advantage of
community life, and at the same
time be able to earn living from
the SOIL
Moreover, there will result from
this development of unused land an
increase in the food supply of the
country which will have a ten
dency to reduce the cost of living;
and there will be decrease in the
number of large land owners and
an acceleration of the existing ten
dency to cut up large land holdings
which will result in a wider and
more equitable distribution of land
and gradual doing away with
land monopoly.
These results can not be obtain
ed and labor can not be saved from
the crisis now facing it unless it
thinks and acts constructively and
nationally. 1t must and will see
the problem as a whole. 1t must
and will realize the need of imme-
diate action. 1t must and will act
now, and act in way that will
help make and keep this country
safe for democracy.
In this existing crisis, the cry
ing need of the country, is lead
ership. Congress is not supplying
it adequately. | sincerely hope and
believe that labor can supply this
leadership and can show the coun-
try and the world that it is capable
of working out broad, unselfish ma
tional policies during the recon-
struction period, as we'll as during
the period of the war. One of the
best proofs of this leadership will
be an immediate and active demand
combining unused land and unused
labor for the national welfare.
