ANTI STRIKE BILL BEFORE SENATE;
WOULD HANDCUFF AND GAG WORKERS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The
Cummins railroad bill has been
favorably reported to the senate
by the committee on interstate COM
merce. 1t provides for the return
Of the railroads to their owners
and penalties striking employees by
fines not exceeding $500 or six
months imprisonment, or both. In
addition, any individual who in
duces, counsels or procures the com
mission or performance of an act
made illegal under the anti-strillc
provision shall be held guilty of a
misdemeanor and subject to the
same penalties as a striker. Under
this provision any one who insists
that the anti-strike act should not
be accepted, and if this sentiment
developed in a strike such opponent
of the law would he equally guilty
with the strikers.
As a member of the committee on
Interstate commerce Senator LaFol-
lette announced that he dissented
from the committees recommended
tions and stated that when the
committee filed its report he would
submit minority report.
The proposed law also provides
for the creation OF several boards
and one committee. These are to
be known as the transportation
board, regional boards of adjust
ment and a committee Of wages
and working conditions.
The transportation board is abso-
Lutte and there is no appeal from its
decision on workers grievances. It
consists of five members, appoint
ed by the President. Its main fuuc-

WAGE DECISION
IN FAVOR OF |. j. 7.
In Spite of LLLL Testimony
That They Did Not
Want a Raise

The decision of the State of Ore
gon Cancellation. Board as to the
increase in wages asked by the Tim
berworkers Union was decided in
favor of the Timberworkers.
The rate of wages asked for was
a 4.S0 minimum In view of the
fact that some Of the members of
the ILL testified that they were
satisfied with the rate of pay being
paid to them and that they were
able to not only live comfortably,
but were in a position to save shows
as we have maintained right along
that men in favor of this organiza-
tion were not working in the inter
ests of the workers, but for the Mill
owners.
At the hearing in Portland held
by the Cancellation Board some of
the LII members testified that the
wages being paid were all that they
required at the present time. In
spite of this and through the work
of the |. L. T. the workers have
been granted living wage
At debate in Everett, Wash,
Oct. 80, ILL organizer O'Malley
stated that the ILL would reach
an agreement with the Millowners
as to an increase in wages and then
before they would have a chance
to make it public the l. L. T. would
demand an increase, and as the
LLLL raise would be granted the
I. u. T. would take all credit for it.
The ILL has never secured an in
crease of wages for the men at any
time. The workers know that if
it hadn't been for the 7. Il. T. their
wages would never have been in
creased but would have been re-
duced.
When the workers throughout the
Lumber Industry hear of the deci-
sion of the Oregon Cancellation
Board granting the demands of the
/. u, T. it will be the end of the
ILL.

HIGH COST OF LIVING

WHEREAS, In times of National
emergency, where the life, we'll
being and security of the people as
whole is endangered, it becomes
necessary for all good governments
to exercise extraordinary powers
powers that in normal times are
not recognized or necessary; and
WHEREAS, there exists in this
great, prosperous land of ours an
emergency that demands extraordi-
nary functions on the part of the
Government through the extortion-
ate profiteering in essential food
stuffs now existing; and
WHEREAS, The crops of our
country have been bountiful beyond
all expectations in recent years, and
the storehouses of our country are
bulging with an abundance of such
foodstuffs, and yet the hoarders and
profiteers are holding up" the con-
sumers of the Nation for prices so
extortionate as to menace the safe
ty, peace and well-being of our
country; therefore be 1t
RESOLVED, That we call on the
Federal Government of the United
States to commander at actual
cost of production all necessities Of
life now in storage and establish
and maintain a proper distribution
at actual cost Of the same, until
such times as more democratic
and equitable system of distribution
can be established; and be 1t
FURTHER RESOLVED, That a
national marketing system be estab-
lished by the United States Govern
ment, through which the produce of
the farms can be handled from pro-
ducer to consumer, at the actual
cost of such service; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That we
solicit the cooperation of all Labor
and Liberal groups to the end that
early relief can be brought about
through this method.

JOIN THIS LEAGUE

Join the National Initiative and
Referendum League. DO it now.
The movement was unanimously in
dorsed by the American Federation
of Labor at its last annual conven-
tion. and is in line with the ad-
vanced thought of organized labor
everywhere. 1t means rule by the
people, not rule by proxy. It is just
as fair for one class as for another,
because the majority decides.
The movement is headed by true
and tried friend of organized labor,
General Jacob S. Coxey, Sr. He has
opened national headquarters at
Seventh Avenue and 49th Street,
New York City, and launched a ma
ton wide campaign for his initia-
tive and referendum amendment to
the United States Constitution.
Write to him for literature and par
ticulars. Boost the initiative and
referendum. Place the government
of our country in the hands of our
people, where it belongs.

vide for democratic administration
thus insuring the proper protection

ket agreement, we further recon-
mend the introduction of the shop
steward system; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That we
endorse the principle of organiza-

that the various craft organizations
affiliated with the Washington
State Federation of Labor propagate
their principle within their union,
and endeavor to have the laws of
their respective organizations so
amended as to permit the removal
of those constitutional barriers that
now prevent amalgamation of
unions along industrial lines and
the extension of industrial jurisdic-
tion generally in industry, whereby
single organizations may be per-
mitted to function in basic indus
tries in the same manner the United
Mine Workers functions in the coal
mining industry; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That we
strongly urge all unions to work
within their respective organiza
tions to bring about an internation-
al exchange of cards between all
unions.

CLOSER AFFILIATI0N

WHEREAS, With one or two ex-
ceptions, the unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
are organized along craft lines; and
WHEREAS, AS result of this
condition the workers in American
industry find themselves divided
and subject to the conflicting 1ur-
isdiction of International Unions
that oftimes are so completely out
of touch with each other that con-
certed action on the part of workers
in particular industry is rendered
o, tremely difficult, and as a con-
sequence many efforts to improve
the conditions of Labor in given
industry where several separate
unions are dealing with common
employer are rendered Intellectual;
and
WHEREAS, With the develop
ment of industry the Importance
of craft unions to deal with the ex-
listing industrial problems in way
that will insure the fullest protec-
tion to the workers, is becoming
more and more apparent, and the
need of the times industrially is for
the widest extension of the princi-
pie of industrial unionism, in order
that the workers in American in
dutSry may be able to present
solid front before the common en-
ployer and thereby bring to bear In
the settlement of industrial disputes
the full weight of their economic
power; and
WHEREAS, Feeling as we do,
that it is the earnest desire of the
organized workers of the State of
Washington to bring about as speed
lily as possible closer affiliation
among the workers employed in the
industries of the state; therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That as a practical
step in this direction, and one that
is possible of immediate applica-
ton, we endorse the policy of 'es-
tablishing wherever possible, blan-
ket agreements covering wages and
conditions, similar in principle to
the existing shipyard agreement,
and the blanket agreement affect
ing all the workers employed in the
laundry industry of Seattle.
We recommend to all Unions af-
filiated with the Washington State
Federation of Labor that wherever
the members of their particular or
ganization are employed in common
with the members of another organ
ization in a particular industry,
that every influence be put forth to
secure concerted action on the part
of all the organizations represented
in such industry to the end that a
blanket agreement be consummated
permitting joint action on the part
of all the workers in protecting
their common interest in the es-
tablishing of wages and conditions
of labor in the industry in question,
