Allies Nut Help or
Reds Get Siberia
'(By AssOciated Press.

HONOLULU, March 12.-Gen. Robt.
Paris, of the French army, returning
from Siberia, where he was associat-
ed with the Zecho-Sloyak command,
said today through his aid that unless
the allies intervene Immediately with
sufficient forces the Bolsheviki would
overwhelm Siberia and the Germans
would gain an unshakable grip on
Russia.
He said the Zechs have lost half
their strength and being worn out
without support were withdrawing
leaving Siberia helpless.
Conditions were growing worse
steadily. Ten divisions he said could
reach Moscow through Siberia and re-
establish order in Russia.

Lumber Workers. International
Union Meets to Hear Argu-
nlents by Delegates.

Both verbal and written reports
by delegates relative to progress Of
organization work in all lumber
camps throughout the middle west
and far western lum bering regions
were read at yesterdays session of the
Lumber Workers International union
No. 500, I. w. W., at the Superior
headquarters, 401 Tower avenue. The
reports, members said, covered con-
ditions in the lumber camps favorable
and unfavorable to formations of
"bosses'' in the camps toward the men
and the movement; food and SANTA
ton provided for in the various camps
and the scale of wages.
James Marley, secretary Of the; Su-
perior organization, denied that a
strike movement was in progress, but
said the delegates present at this con-
ference had brought with them all
data relative to the feasibility and ad-
visibility of calling a general strike.
Their reports, he said, are being
"pieced together" to arrive at the
estimated strength that can be de-
pended upon in case a strike is or
dered by the heads of~<the organiza-
ton. ~.
Reporter Ordered Out.
II have heard of no strike being
planned" said Mr.. Marley yesterday
to reporter who called as a meeting
was in progress. The meeting was
stopped, the reporter was asked for
his card and politely told by a. men,
Der of the IS men present that he
should go out.
Some Of the men had their coats off
and were lying. on one elbow on the
red-painted benches that serve as
seats.
This delegation is gathered only
for hearing of the conditions IN the
lumber camps" said mr.. Manley'
"and after we are through delegates
will be appointed to a general con-
vention to be held in January or Feb
ruary. We have not decided where
to hold it,

most of the railroad brotherhood
lodges, voted unanimously to enter the
campaign, adopt a platfrom and place
ticket in the field.
Four candidates for councilmen are
to be chosen from the ranks of or
ganized labor. Candidates for mayor,
comptroller and for the other two
council places are to be chosen from
outside labor circles among progress
sives, and Endorsed by the league.
A nominating convention to recon-
mend candidates will be held soon. A
platform also will be adopted and gen
eral campaign plans made. All ac-
tions of the convention then will be
submitted to union members in the
city for referendum vote.
It is expected this vote will be cast
before the first of the year, so the
labor ticket can be filed soon after
January 81, the opening date for pre-
senting nominating certificates. A
campaign extending into every pre-
cinct Of the city then will be launched
in behalf of this ticket.
This will be the second opportunity
given the league to render a real ser.
vice to the people.
The next chance for real service will
come with campaigns for the election
Of legislators, congressman and state
officials. The league will have candi-
dates in all these campaigns.

ADVOCATES REVISION OF
WAR-TAX Laws Downward

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-Just when
everybody is keyed up to sing the
song that labor's demand for an eight
hour day is causing a loss of European
markets, along comes the Annalist,
recognized financial paper, and dis
cords the glad refrain. In urging a
revision of tax laws, the Annalist says:
Manufactures and banks are un-
able to extend the longtime credit
necessary to re-establish European in.
dustry and enable the nations to meet
their obligations, while rich investors
are discouraged by their present in

why There HAS Been RAILROAD
deficit UNDER ]. S. CONTROL

III Opponents of government owner
ship of utilities have had their in
nings. Selling upon the reports that
| have showed steadily increasing de-
i ficit in railroad revenues. they have
pointed a moral to the effect that all
as7yernment ownership must be
filure.
Nov, the average man knows very,
very little about railroad operation or
maintenance. He sees trains moving,
and comes into contact with agents,
conductors and porters, and there his
interest ceases. There is little more
to it, and it is that little more that
the average man should understand to
enable him to judge correctly.
In plain and unofficial language in
the matter Of railroad operation, the
government has been pulling the
chestnuts out of the fire. 1t is this
way: When federal management
went into effect there was little or no
change in the active personnel of the
railroads. Some executive officials
were dropped or otherwise changed
around, but to all intents and purposes
the main bulk Of employees retained
their old positions. Superintendent,
roadmasters. section foremen, round
Mouse foremen were still on the job
of old. In that lay safety, for they
knew the conditions pertaining to
their separate lines. In that fact also
lay the germ of the huge and dishon-
i sst deficit.
= Prior to federal management, as in
every other privately managed and
owned corporation, to use the Stllted
language Of the average official report
expenditures for maintenance had
been kept down to the lowest limit
compatible with safety and the integ-
rity of the property That is to say,
each and every minor official told his
superior, who told his chief, who re-
ported to the head of his department,
that he had skimped until he could
skimp no further. Skimping all
around was universal in the railroad
business. To cut down requsition
was the recognized road to promotion.
The average section foreman with no
hope Of reaching any dizzy height in
the land of officialism made his re-
quest for so many ties. The roadnas-
ter would do what he could to get the
j needed amount on his requisition
Then the fine italian hand of the SUI
i perintendent came into play, for "ecO-
T. nomical maintenance was his per-
sonal asset, and the rcquistiOn was in
the majority Of cases cut down
: Others, too, had a hand in the game
Chief clerks, purchasing agents, gen
eral superintendent, general man
ayers, presidents, each and every one
them, had his say in the matter
ECONOMY" Each and every one
them, to retain his job, or to be a
candidate for promotion, had to have
his blue pencil to make good show
ing" This applied not only to requisi'
tons for ties, but for bridge tinlbers
track tools, rail fastenings, ballast
and the hundred and one differen
things required in the maintenance O.
