PROFOUND REGARD
FOR THE RED CROSS
(By VIM. Green, Secretary Treasur-
er United Mine Workers.

The men and women Of Labor en-
terrain a profound regard for the
American Red Cross organization.
1t is the one recognized war agency
which commands their universal
support. Perhaps it is partly because
the aims and purposes Of Organized
Labor are, to a degree, similar to
the work of the Red Cross.
The one steady aim of Organized
Labor is TO help humanity, to relieve
distress and to bring sunshine and
happiness into the homes and lives
Of those who toll. The American
Red Cross does all Of this and a
great deal more 1t is distinctively
a ministering agency. It brings re-
lief to the helpless, ministers to the
sick and wounded and gives com
fort to those who sorrow in the hour
of death.

THE RENTON STRIKE
Is ENDED AT LAST

Renton Car Builders and Metal
Trades Mechanics who have been on
strike at the Renton plant of the
Pacific Car & Foundry Company
since November 20 will return to
work Monday morning following an
agreement reached by their Strike
Committee and the company Fri
day afternoon. The agreement was
finally reached when the Union
waved two points and the company
two points which had been in con-
troversy. The company granted an
eight-hour day in all departments,
eliminating an Objectionable clause
which had placed piece workers on
a nine-hour basis. All former en-
ployees are to be reinstated with
out prejudice and old employees are
to receive retroactive increase in
pay to August -.

out the country. 1t is your
duty to patronize only such firms

CAN'T HAVE TALKFEST
WITHOUT BLOODY RIOT

A Riot occurred in Seattle at the
corner Of Fourth and Pine Streets
after a meeting called to settle the
Russian question, held at the cor
ner of Fourth and Virginia, had
been broken up by the police, on
order of the mayor. If the meet
ing was peaceful it was wrong to
break it up. If it was seditious those
speakers uttering sedition should be
arrested and tried under the FEEDER
al sedition laws. We shall see
which.
So far as Russia is concerned, II
would be we'll to remember that
both the radical and democratic
elements have gone on record as
favoring self determination, let
Russia settle her own affairs Be-
fore the Russian Bolshevists have
made any Roadway in settling their
own affairs they have set about
fixing things" everywhere else on
the earth. There is no reason why

THE LABOR JOURNAL
HAS BEEN ENLARGED

This paper, formerly printed in
the office of the Puget Press, last
week let contract for printing to
The Daily Herald Company. This
issue will reach its readers enlarged
by the addition of one column to
the page, which will give it increas-
ed advertising space and more read
ing matter. The Journal does not
promise further enlargement in the
near future, but will say that the
bright prospects of Everett may
make such move desirable.

PREPARE TO BUY
VICTORY BONDS


The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
known as the Victory Loan.
Victory is not merely a matter
of jubilation, accepting surrender
of beaten foe and dropping the
gun to take up the pillow share in
the furrow where it stood when the
call to arms came.
The Victory Loan is one of the
many great obligations that come to
the victOrs. President Woodrow
Wilson and the members of the
American Peace Delegation are now
in France looking after the world
obligations. Our part now is to pre-
pare to pay in small measure the
debt we owe our khaki and blue
clad champions.
A large part of the money to be
raised in the Victory Loan Cam
paign next April will be used for
the rehabilitation of our wounded
men. The Government will do it's
utmost to restore every wounded
American soldier and sailor to
health and self supporting activity.
When the wounded man has been
given complete medical and surgi-
cal treatment he will beEonsidered
by the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. If his disability prevents
return to work he left at the call
of the Government a wide choice
of occupation is open to him.
If the injured man needs an ar
tificial limb or appliance of any
sort the Government will provide it.
Until his special treatment or train
ing ends he will receive regular
compensation and the family will
receive the allotments. The War
Risk Insurance will be paid until
the end of the vocational training
if the course is elected without ne
cessity, but in this case the allot-
meuts will not be paid the family.
Instead Of finding dependent
ripples and beggars made so by an
unappreciative country, they will be
highly trained heroes whose sacri-
/ fees will not be furnished by lack
Of gratitude.
If you are worth victory prepare
now to buy Victory Bonds.

THE N0NPARTISAN
LEAGUE WINS OUT


The following excerpts from the
Seattle Union Records report of the
Washington Construction Congress
are given below:
TACOMA, Jan. 11.-View-
ing in retrospect the proceed
ings and results of the Wash
ington Construction Congress
held here Thursday, the first
thought to suggest itself is that
the conference has made the
state safe for the Farmers
Nonpartisan League.
practically every political doc
trine of the League not already en-
acted into law in this state was Civ
en- the endorsement of the Congress.
State fire, life, liability and crop
risk insurance, public ownership Of
all public utilities, including cleo
trical development and coal mines;
publicly owned and operated mar
kets, storage facilities and factor
les for farm, food and fuel products
and ice, denounced on the floor of
the Congress as 'socialistic' and
freak legislation were endorsed
with cheers and applause.
Only Two Good Ones Go Under
mayor Hanson, who conceived
the idea of the Congress, has rea-
son to be proud of the child of his
reconstruction efforts. While its
Legislative Committee somthered a
resolution by Ben f. Levy of Seattle
declaring for a six-hour day, and
another by Councilman Lane of Seat
tie advocating the amendment OF
the constitution by the initiative,
the latter was offered on the floor
and adopted. No other radical reso-
luton offered the committee failed
to receive it's approval. If any I'M
portant progressive reconstruction
plank is missing from the publish
ed program, it is due to the failure
of it's friends to introduce it in COM
mittee or on the floor. The only eX-
ception to this general statement is
that of unemployment insurance and
old age pensions, defeated in the
Congress by vote of &C to n. This
slip of the convention is the one
apparently inexplicable departure
from an otherwise unbroken pro
gram of radiCalism."

THE WAR LABOR BOARD
WILL ARBlTRATE IT

President Wilson has asked that
the striking Harbor Boatmen of New
York return to work pending ac-
tion by the National War Labor
Board. The strikers announced a
willingness to do this. Their en-
ployers insist on arbitration based
on their own terms, refusing to ac-
cede to the intervention of the War
Labor Board. This Board has re-
sumed jurisdiction in this matter.
The Board was also requested by
the President to use all means with
in it's power to stabilize conditions
generally during the present period
of industrial transaction arising
from the war.

of a dream of NINE, said w. J.
Coates. I believe a great trouble in
the past has been that we do not
know one another The war has
done a great thing in throwing the
laborer and business man together
on the government war boards. We
have each found that the other did
MT have horns and hoofs. Many en-
ployers fail to take into account the
human element and regard men as
pieces of machinery. No business
founded on this principle can be
ultimately successful

THE LEGISLATURE

The Sixteenth Legislature went
through the foramlity of organiza-
ton Monday, the real work, OF
course, having been cut and dried
before the legislature convened.
This Legislature may not be as
reactionary as the last two but
there is little hope for improvement
until the people become aroused to
a sense Of duty in exercising the
right of suffrage.
This Legislature will do nothing
to injure profiteering part of Wash
ington's population in the way OF
curbing its greed.
1t will do nothing to aid the in
dustrial and agricultural workers
except throwing them an occasional
SOP to hold them in line for the
1920 elections.
1t was ever thus and viii remain
ever thus until the people awaker
to the necessity of taking active in
terest in their political affairs
There is some hope that the al
ready too heavy burden of taxation
will not be increased and something
will be done to eQualize taxes, bn
even that is a forlorn hope.
The first two acts OF the Leglsia
ture were the passage of the Sabo
tage Bill over the Governor vet
of 1917, and the ratification of tn
prohibition amendment to the ma
tionaI constitution. If we conside
that prohibition has aroused tn
working people of the states wnie
adopted it to deeper political think
ing, this first act Of the Legislator
may be counted a good thing.
This is not a bright picture, ou

for he shall not be disappointed

FALSE ECONOMY IN
COUNTY PRINTING

Recently the County Commission
ers of Spokane County awarded a
contract for county printing to a
St Louis, Mo-, printing concern for
$4,000 worth of county printing.
This award was made on the plea
that they were saving the taxpayers
of the county about 40 per cent on
the contract price.
Here are a few of the conditions
with which a manufacturing print
er in the State of Washington has
to contend:
The printers Of Washington are
prohibited by the State Govern
ment from working a girl or wo-
man more than eight hours day.
The State of Washington says to
the printer, you must pay each girl
not less than 1920 per week, you
must carry state industrial insur-
ance for every man and woman in
your employ, you must have your
factories inspected regularly by a
safety appliance inspector, a man
sanitary inspector, a woman SAM
tary inspector, an electrical inspec-
tor and a general welfare inspector,
and you must pay all these the fee
they ask for their labor
The Missouri printer has not one
of these laws to contend with. lie
can work woman as many hours
as she is able to stand on her feet
and pay the wages he pleases; he
! has no insurance to carry and no
factory inspector to pay.
Then for the support of our high
ly organized State and County Gov
ernments the Washington printer is
privileged to pay 500 per cent more
taxes than his Missouri rival. The
per capita tax in Washington is
$4.96. in Missouri 80 cents. (See
the World Almanac and Encyclo-
pedia for 1918, page 1870.
The laws of Washington compel
it's printers to maintain the high
est wages, the shortest hours, the
highest physical and moral working
conditions for it's employees and pay
the highest taxes; but in order t.
sell their product to the county they
must compete with the lowest pait
sweatshops in the Union, with ne
governmental restraints and practi
cally no taxes at all.
If it is right and just to compe
by law the Washington printer no
to work a girl over eight hours pc
day, why would it not be just t.
prohibit the counties and state
from using books and stationery oil
which girls were compelled to worl
more than eight hours per day?
If a Washington printer has t,
pay 500 per cent more in taxes thai
Missouri printer, why not ALLOW
him more for his work?
If the Washington printer is com
PEELED by the state law to maintain
the highest minimum wage in tn
United States, why should he no
receive a higher price for his pro
duct?

their example should be followed in
America. Americans have enough
problems of their own to solve and
would do we'll to refrain from med
ding with the affairs of their
neighbors.
If this Seattle riot was caused by
interference with the right of free
speech let that fact be established
and the blame placed where it be-
longs. If the riot was caused by
men who mistake license for liber-
ty then let the courts show them
the difference.
