MINERS ARE NOT
WILLING TO RETURN
To Work at the Old Pay Scale

Negotiating
NEW WAGE AGREEMENT
NEW WAGE AGREEMENT

Washington, d. c., Nov. 12.-The
apparent unwillingness of all union
coal miners to return to work at the
old pay scale caused government
officials to put forth every effort
today to bring about immediate ne
gotiations of a new wage agree
ment.
Secretary Wilson without waiting
for formal acceptance of his offer
to mediate the differences, began
smoothing the way for the joint
conference of miners and operators
he has called to meet in Wash
inton Friday.
Both sides notified the Labor
Secretary that they would attend
mine workers said that if the mine
owners came in a spirit of concilia-
ton a new agreement could be
framed and ratified by Saturday
night
Until an agreement is formally
accepted by the miners scale COM
mittee labor leaders said, there was
little hope of full resumption of
coal production.
1t was because of this possibility
and the steady drain meanwhile on
the nations visible coal supply
that Secretary Wilson undertook
to induce some of the miners and
operators to see the other fellows
side.
The indicated continued suspen-
sion of mining activity in a union
fields today was not surprise to
Government officials nor accepted
as an equal test of the attitude OF
the miners. Complete distribution
of the order concelling the strike
might take some time, 1t was said
1t was felt, however, that a large
| number of men still might remain
out until assured that some of the
demands agreed upon in convention
would be granted.

Clayton Act Bill

Next to these three bills the
measure of most Importance to la
Dor in the direct effect it would
have on the conduct of labor ac-
tivities is the Clayton Act bill, a
bill which proposes to enact the
Federal Clayton Act into State law.
This bill seeks to legalize the or
ganizing acts OF labor unions and
forbids the issuance of court in
functions to interfere with union
activities. While some opposition
to it has developed here, and there
is a strong lobby of the employing
interests at Olympia opposing it, it

LABOR BILLS FARE SOME BETTER

With the possible exception of
the Municipal Markets Bill, the
Legislature will adjourn without
enacting any legislation intended
to curtail profits, restrict the abuses
practiced by middIemen, or in any
material manner reducing or even
| seeking to reduce the high cost of
living. Some minor measures along
this line were proposed, but the
mercantile interests have been SO
alert, so we'll intrenched in the
Legislature and so vigorous in
their lobbying that they have not
let anything get past them. One
bill of this character which stirred
Gull Apple Bill proposed by Repre-
sentative Gellatly, of Wenatchee.
This bill proposed to add a new
grade to those under which apples
are now allowed to be marketed,
so as to permit something like a
million boxes Of apples to be mark
eted which now go to waste. Under
the present law growers are not
permitted to sell these Gull apples
except to the by-products manufac-
turers, but the law IS loosely en-
forced and the manufacturers TAX
ing advantage of its lack of en-
forcement buy them at from Sc to
$12 a ton and then sell them in
the commercial markets in viola
tion of the law at from 81 to $3.50

that if enacted it will put a stop
to this apple bootlegging." In

President C. X. Carlson, of the

announced a cut of eight-tenths of
a cent a quart in the price of milk
at retail.
Mr.. Carlson says that milk has
been sold all winter, and is now,
for two or three cents quart less
in Everett than in Seattle and Ta-
coma, though 1t costs the whole
saler the same here as there.
Under the previous retail sched-
ule here, 719 quart tickets were
sold for a dollar. Under the new
schedule eight tickets are sold for
dollar. For pints. the old price
was eight cents, the new seven
cents, and for gallons at wholesale,
40 cents and SO cents.
THE lower price is possible in
Everett because of sales for cash
only. and because of one delivery,
instead of several, in each district, "

Defeat of Lamping Bill

The most dramatic moment of
the session came Monday morning
when the Senate, by vote of 2l to
21 failed to enact the Lamping
Soldiers Compensation Bill. This
bill proposed to issue bonds and
appropriate s5,OO0,000 to pay each
returning soldier $40 a month for
the period he was in the service.
The bill aroused the most vigorous
fight of the session, and was de-
bated in the Senate all Friday af-
ternoon and all day Saturday. Up to
the very last the supporters of the
bill expected TO pass it. Their de-
feat hinged on the vote of Senator
Thomle, of Snohomish County, who
was absent during the discussion
and appeared in the Senate Mon
day morning just in time to cast
his vote. He voted in the negative.
Following the balloting Senator
Lamping read in the Senate a tele-
gram Senator Thomle had sent
him Saturday pledging support to
the bill.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER

OLYMPIA, Mar. 3.-The Indus
trial Insurance Bill, the Accident
Prevention and First Aid Bills, are
before the Legislature today for
third reading and final passage
1t is practically assured now that
they will pass with a substantial
majority 1t is also practically as
sured that we will succeed in bring
ing about the enactment of the bill
providing for a Small Claims Court,
and several of the other bills de-
sired by labor. including a Public
Marketing Bill. and one providing
for some regulation of the rent Sit
uation.
A vigorous campaign Is being
conducted in both the House and
Senate for favorable consideration
Of the Clayton Act, which legalizes
all labor organization and restrains
the courts from granting injunc-
tions in labor disputes, without
showing a sound reason for same.
A bill will be introduced this
week in the Senate by the Senate
Judiciary Committee more clearly
defining what is meant by Grim
inal sabotage, and making its pro-
visions applicable to those who
would use force to prevent indus
trial and political reform as well
as to promote it. and containing
a provision that this bill repeals the
Criminal Syndicalist Bill that was
enacted over the Governors veto
in the early sessions OF the Leg
islature.
Both the House and Senate are
getting down to real serious bust
ness and are giving consideration
to a larger number of the bills in
troduced than was expected in the
early sessions, and your lobby is
hopeful that a considerable propor-
tion of the thirty odd labor bills
introduced will be given favorable
consideration. We are also hopeful
of succeeding in having the ten
or twelve bills inimical to our in
terests defeated. Those are bills
that provide for state constabulary
and the regulation and control of
labor unions.

STAR-GAZNG AND I HEORR|NG
THE CURSE OF EUROPEAN LABOR
Americans Are Warned to Keep Feet on Ground and Not
Spend Their Time Spinning Dreams of Some
Taor-Made Euopa

from 1abor's point of view in these
countries over here it will be be-
cause there are enough labor lead
ers in the trade union ranks who
can stick to facts and work out
practical problems instead of doing
trick stunts in the air. There are
some of these men. They aren't the
flashy kind. They don't make a
great many wonderful speeches,
They don't fire the working class
with revolt" but they do get busy
with such problems as hours of
work, wages, conditions, admins
tration of industry, margin of prof
it and unemployment.
While the Russian Trotzkys were
shouting mo annexations and no
indemnities" the Germans stepped
in and wrote the treaty of Brest-
Litovsk, treaty obliterated only
by the allies who stuck to their
guns. If President Wilson and
Lloyd George were like the Snow
dens and MacDonalds the imperial
lists would smash the League of
Nations into a cooked hat.
Utopia is probably a great place
but we haven't arrived. We are
not anywhere near it. We're in a
hard old world full of work and
facts. This hard old world is fuller
of work now than ever and there
are more facts in it--especially
more ugly and nasty facts. We are
all gummed up with the mess of
war. It's more important to clean
our boots than it is to perfume our
hair. It's more important to get
food than it is to rubber at the
rainbow. It's more important to
get on clean clothes than it is to
know all about the theory of sur
pluS Vdlue.
Notwithstanding the Ameri-
can worker-has got right at home
the stuff of salvation. America has
got to work her future out of the
brains and materials of America in
the conditions that exist in Ameri-
ca. This is no denial of an inter-
national relationship and harmony,
but it is flat assertion that we
shall get ahead properly only as
we apply ourselves to the facts and
materials at home, minus dogmas,
minus formula, minus bunk.
You can dope out the theory of
baseball all alone in a room, but
when you're in the game you have
to keep your eye on the ball!
This is no criticism of Europe
We can't run their game for them
But neither can Americans find
any mystic symbol here by which
to reach the golden city.
