SEATTLE'S DECL ARAT|0N
OF INDEPENDENCE
The American Plan

Absolute fairness to employee and en-
ployer alike is one of the foundation
principles on which Americanism rests.
We will work for the improvement of
industrial relations, the elimination of
class prejudice, which generally results
from Misunderstanding, and the estab-
lishment of equitable and uniform work
ing conditions fair alike to employee and
employer.
We will always use our united in
fluence in opposition to injustice,
whether practiced by employers or en-
ployes.
We stand for the American plan,
which means absolute fairness to all
classes of workers, whether union or
non-union. 1t unalterably opposes the
"closed shop" which shuts the doors of
industry against the American working
man who is not member of labor or
ganization.
1t is un-American to interfere with the
personal rights and constitutional liber-
ties of the individual. Therefore, we
shall oppose the use Of force or intimi-
dation by any one endeavoring to per-
suade worl1men either to join or to re-
sign from a labor organization.
We hold that both the employe and
the employer are privileged to terminate
their relations whenever either chooses
to do so, unless, of course, there be con-
tracts between them.
We do not countenance limitation of
the amount of work which may be ac-
complished in given time, or the man.
ner in which payment shall be made for
such work, whether by hourly rate,
piece work, contract or otherwise. We
believe that every workman should have
an opportunity to earn a wage proper
tionate to his ability and productive ca
pacity.
BY encouraging fair dealings and
broadminded policies, we hope, with the
cooperation of Seattle's thinking public,
to bring about working conditions and
wages which will make Seattle known
as a good city in which to work, to live,
and to raise children.

CAPE-TO-CAIRO
AIR PROJECT IS
ALREADY BEGUN

LONDON-(Correspondence of The
Associated Press Actual construc-
ton work has already been begun in
connection with the projected Cape to
Cairo air service, the British air min
istry announces. Aerodromes are be-
ing set up every 600 miles, the present
nonstop limit, from one end of Africa
to the other, the principal ones being
built at Cairo, Khartoum, and two in
German East Africa, at Kampla and
Ujiji.
The route then passes into Rhodesia,
the Cape. Long before the famous
Cape to Cairo railway is in operation it
is confidently expected that airplanes
will be covering the route on regular
schedules. The distance is 5000 miles.
After establishing this service, the
plan of the air ministry is to hand it
over as a going enterprise to British
commercial company
The air ministry is acting as pio-
neer in various undertakings and, ac
cording to one of it's officials, its posi-
ton to commercial flying will be anal
.ogous to that of the British admiralty
and merchant-marine service. A
-"Lloyd's Aircraft Register" is expected
to make it's appearance in the near flu
ture. Already wireless stations on
the continent signal the passage, APP
parent condition, origin, nationality,
cargo and destination of passing air.

England" said the official, "if only
on account of Empire communication,
has more to ask of other powers in
the way of flying rights than she has
to grant. Air travel will not be, in
the main over the sea. That is too cir
cuitous."
Commercial signal codes are being
, considered at the ministry also the
question of air police.
