''NOBODY'S
BUSINESS"

at is nobody's business how
we deal with our men,"
Manager Lanes statement to
this effect in behalf of the gas
company is the keynote to the
present trouble.
1t may be nobody's business.
Evidently State Public Service
Commissioner Spinning, after
spinning and milling around here
a bit, is willing to accede to
Lanes view of it.
"The welfare of the people in
Seattle is in no way jeopar-
died." announces Spinning, and
in the next breath, he adds:
"Strict economy Of gas is urged
owing to present conditions"
Poor Mr.. Spinning! But no
one really did expect the state
public service commission to get
anywhere. 1t never has in sit
uation like this.
And, in the meantime, thou
sands of gas consumers are with
out the service that the gas COM
pany, by the terms of its fran
chise, is in duty bound to give.
1t is not giving it because it has
violated the first principle of CO.
operation between labor and
capital by erecting a Chinese
wall of exclusion and shutting
off, arbitrarily, any opportunity
for friendly discussion of points
at issue. The gas workers may
or may not be entitled to higher
wages. But the strike resulted
directly from the fact that the
company refused to negotiate
with the workers committee.
1t refused to meet them Satur-
day-before the strike. 1t re-
fuses to meet them NOW.
And the people-who gave the
company a franchise worth mil
lions-are holding the sack.

my THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS"
BY Gen. Eric Won Ludendorff
Military Dictator of Germany
Military Dictator of Germany

The field marshal and myself had both
spoken against the proposal for unrestricted
submarine warfare on August 80, 1916, ex-
pressing the view that the time was not yet
ripe for it. Chancellor Won Bethmann stated
this quite clearly at the time and added that
thenceforth the decision to carry on the sub
marine warfare in the form of "blockaded
area" fighting would depend on the declara-
ton of the field marshall; that is to say, un-
restricted submarine warfare was to start
when the field marshal wished it to start.

What these gentlemen want are not

concerned about the Negroes actual in

Owing to the very dry weather the

JEWISH REPUBLIC

London, Sept. 23.-The establish

will be an accomplished fact notwith-
standing reports to the contrary. Ru-

privileged to live in the Holy Land,
without having a government of their
own, caused reiteration by the gov

"The peace conference has decided
that the Jews should realize their
ambition as regards Palestine, and
Britain is ready to take the mandate,
but it is up to the League of Nations
to decide final action.

This tribe of trouble makers have
chosen a particularly unfortunate
iuncture in national affairs to agitate
any of the questions likely to dis
turb race equilibrium. There have
been occurrences recently in several
quarters of the country which the eff

will serve to multiply and accentuate
and to result in probably greater dis

races. The negro in the South is well
satisfied with the laws as at present

has as little to complain of as the law

up strife, with the ostensible view of
elevating the negro but with the act
