Strikes In Eastern U S.
Continue To Gain Force

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 3.-Shots were
fired when striking textile workers
clashers clashed with police near the
Everett mill this afternoon. There were
no casualties. Police said strikers did
the shooting. They were unable, how
ever, to identify those who had used
the weapons.
The crowd, estimated at 10000 was
dispersed by police reserves. The trou'
BILE started when Special Policeman
Cornelius Sheehan tried to arrest 6
striker who refused to "move on
when ordered to do so. Sheehan seized
the man. Other officers ran to his as
sinstance as he was surrounded by strik
ers. A riot call was sent in.
Paterson, N. j., Feb. 3.--Thst approx

in Great Britain are the first step to-

to participate in the International Rev

Premier Lenine.
"The shop stewards hope to estab-
lish revolutionary committees like
those in Russia said Watson.
"The present strikes are the first
step toward socialization of British
industries and their control by the
workers. We sympathize with bolshev-
ist philosophy and hope ito enter the
international revolutionary congress to
be called by Lenine.
Half Are Lined up With Them
"We already represent fifty per-
cent of the English laborers. The shop
stewards are behind practically all the
present strikes. We are direct action
lists, as opposed to the regular union
lists, who are constitutionalists. We
are against the bourgeoisie. We hope
they will submit to the new regime,
but if they are obstreperous we intend
to be firm. Personally, / would not be
surprised to see violence in England,
but | hope it won't come. I presume it
may be necessary to control the Lon
don newspapers. We do not intend to
touch the telegraph lines. We intend
to use the present controllers of indus

are good fellows. Our present program
includes forty hour week, perhaps
shorter, if it is found desirable y
Watson rose from his desk and snow

ture of Lenine, his wife and friends
in a carriage, he said:
"It looks like a peaceful family
party. We do not believe all the stor-
les we hear of bolshevist terrorism.
We hope to avoid the use of physical
force, but if we are opposed we in
tend to seize industries. The shop
stewards committees are already or
ganized, preparatory to taking over
the plants in which they are working.
When the time comes we will simply
shut off products from the present
owners, operating the plants our
selves"
Watson denied that the shop stew

as charged by certain union officials.

ter because it would give added sta
bility."
Hines, realizing that this plan fac
es widespread opposition among both
parties in congress, argued from every
possible angle for its adoption.
"Unless a reasonable extension shall
be granted it will be contrary to the
public interest to hold the railroads
for the full twenty one months,
Hines declared.
"We had better terminate the con-
troll and 90 back promptly to the old
system or we should extend the control
long enough to admit of an adequate
opportunity to adopt a radical and new
system which will really bring aoout
a permanent solution.'
Unofficial reports at the railroad
administration are that unless congress
votes an extension proclamation will
be issued in March turning the roads
back about June 30.
Pears Ungrounded
Fears Of railroad executives and 9th
ers that prompt return will result in
chaos and financial loss were secuted
by Hines.

dition by assuming the interstate com.

for increased powers, Hines said pres.
emit laws give ample power to pre-
serve existing rates and for adjusting
them TO meet immediate necessities
should government operation be aban-
doned. Pre-war intrastate rates could
be set aside in favor Of the higher
ones, Hines believes.
81 would advise the president that
any REIMBURSEMENT made ought to be
on reasonable notice and in q due. and
orderly manner,o Hines said.
81 believe that unless companies,
through mistaken policy, themselves
create needless state Of alarm, q
reasonable and orderly transition back
to private management could be made
in the next few months without add
tional legislation as well as it could
under any legislation that is likely to
be obtained.
''I confess l can see no reason what
ever why this control should continue
simply for the purpose Of protecting
the railroads from an alleged chaotic
condition.
Announces Stand
Hines announced his stand on the
question of government ownership.
81 do not personally believe in gov
ernment ownership" he explained.
Il believe there can be form OF
radically reconstructed private owner
ship with such close government SUI
pcrvision, including government rep
reservations on boards of directors, as
will give the public and labor all the
benefits of government ownership and
at the same time avoid the political
difficulties which perhaps are insep-
arabic from government ownership. J"
Nevertheless, Hines said he wants
a fair test made.
I'VE know that large body Of the
people of this country have a settled
conviction that this question cannot
be successfully disposed of except thru
ownership. Arguments of
government ownership advocates are
temporarily at a discount by reason of
a reaction from all forms of govern
ment control, this being a perfectly
natural aftermath of the war;"
Not Time Enough
Two years is not time enough for a
fair demonstration, he said
No plan can be satisfactory which
permits existence of over-capitaIiEa-
tion and large number Of companies,
some strong, some weak, Hines believ-
es.
"Any plan of private management
ought to provide for participation OF
the government and perhaps of labor
in the profits in excess Of some com
paratiyeIy moderate returns" he ex-
planned.
lie wants small guaranteed return,
efficient concerns to get part of prof

High operating costs were due to
the war rather than to high wages.
Charges to the contrary are unfair to
railroad labor, Hines declared.

Following is summary Of the report
of Manager Chapman, and the statistics
given should impress upon the mind of
every citizen of this community two
things: That it requires both money
and men to maintain an organization
like this, and that unless it is utilized
to the uttermost in our civic affairs it
is losing investment.
Manager Chapman points to that from
the time he assumed the office the &C.
tivities of the club were mainly confin'
ed to war work, the food administration
work being especially heavy and re-
curing a vast amount of time.
On taking office he found the fl
nances of the club were not in the
pink Of condition. The retiring man
sger had mailed out cards and circular
letters to all formem members, appeal
ing to them to renew their memberships
but the response to this appeal was very
slow. During the month of August q
committee was appointed to solicit new
members, but as it was in the midst OF
the vacstion period they did not meet
with the success that might have been
desired.
Later, on September 4th, at mem
bership rneeting, T. B. Kay was ap
pointed to head another committee in
a membership drive, but owing to the
opening of the 4th Liberty Loan cam
paign, the State fair, and other mat
ters, the drive was deferred until the
latter part of October. This campaign
resulted in bringing in approximately
$50 new members. By continued eff
forts tlis number has since been in
creased to 410.
An idea of the clerical and personal
work involved in the office is shown
by the statement that during the per
iod from August TO January 28, 1919
total of PATS letters were sent out
and 1854 letters were received. Tel
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1919-02-03

ephone calls totalled 1879 and 1853
were answered. There were SO tele-
grams received and 80 replied to. There
were 1877 applications for employment,
and go men were placed. Nearly a
thousand people called at the office on
business. There were n meetings of
various kinds held in the auditorium
and club rooms.
The estimated budget Of expenses for
the coming years is as follows: Rent,
$10S0; heat, $75; lighting, 1915; wat
cr, 800; insurance, $35; repairs, $50;
postage, 800. stationery and supplies,
800; salaries, 1910; making a total of
$64S5.
In case all the membership dues were
collected there would be balance on
hand of little more than $500 with
which to meet bills that cannot be
foreseen. 1t has been the policy Of the
present manager to curtail all unneces-
sary expenses, although this has brought
upon him the term Of "tight-wad. "
The club is financially solid. The
furniture and fixtures will invoice at
$2760. There are Liberty bonds to the
amount of $4,000 and checking deposit
of approximately $3.50 in the bank.
There are obligations against these con.
sisting Of two notes of $3.50 each, leav-
ing a net worth Of $5200.
The outlook for the coming year is
considered excellent, and judging from
the correspondence coming from pros
pective settlers in all sections Of the
country the Willamette valley will have
wonderful record of immigration
Hence the work of the club for this
year will be most important and should
be properly taken care of in order to

SALARY RAISES
(Anrora Observcerl

(Aurora Observcer)
Bills galore are appearing to raise
the salaries Of state and county Off
GERS. Public officials should be paid
fair salaries but no more. There are
exceptions, of course, but in general
public officials are paid all they earn
and often more. As a class, they are
good "askers.v The outstanding fact
is this; $4,000 men don't seek $2500
jobs, but $25OO officials are always
seeking raises to $4,000.

munications in order that the rank and
file may appreciate not only the pos
sibilities of the organization but also
its needs. The message OF President
Steusloff is as follows:
To the officers and members of the Sa-
lem Commercial club.
gentlemen:
Pursuant to custom it again becomes
my duty to address you, and here offer
a few suggestions and recommends
tions.
The club has been most active during
the period of the great war just closed
in helping to put over all of the differ
ent drives of the war activities, and all
of the different organizations have
made use of these quarters for their
meeting place.
While the war was on, there was no
time for the club to do any publicity
work, but now the time has arrived
and the opportunity is at hand. The
club should at once take up the work
of publicity of advertising Salem and
surrounding country. All the big bust
ness men of the country are predicting
great prosperity for the United States
for the next three years at least. The
claim is based upon the fact that ware
houses, elevators and stores Of Europe
are empty and the herds of live stock
are depleted. With acres of productive
fields of Belgium and Northern France
lay wake with ravish of war and the
demand for raw and finished material
and all produce of human food will be
and is now in great demand to feed the
starving millions across the sea.
The farmer should be encouraged to
grow more corn to fatten more hogs and
cattle with. The building of the new
packing plant will creste new and
better market in Salem for live stock
and the stock will build up and enrich
the soil at the same time. More ber.
ries, cherries, prunes, pears and all
kinds Of small fruits should be grown
here because ready market is now to-
be found in Salem at the Fruit union
and Hunts cannery and the Salem
kings are asking for all the small veg
tables Of all varieties in unlimited guam
titles for their factory
Manufacturing should also be en-
couraged to the fullest extent. A doz-
en- or more factories in addition to
what we have and those we are con-
building would double the
of the city of Salem in the
next five years Let us all put our
to the wheel like one man and
put these propositions over. Remember
that dinner pail brigade and good So
cial conditions build a great city and
with it prosperity comes.
In conclusion, wish to express my
thanks for the kindness and courtesy
shown me during my two terms as pres
ident of this club and herewith pledge
for the future my moral and financial
to the club and its new Of
ficers. Yours truly,
F. w. STEUSLOFF.
