SPOKANE LABOR
TAKES LEAD IN
CITY POLITICS

Organized labor in Spokane has
gotten into the game with both feet
and has four candidates in the fold
in next months election in that city
for City Commissioners. This is the
first real big step taken in the fight
planned at the last convention Of
the State Federation of Labor to
elect men and women to legislative
offices from the ranks of the pro-
ducers of the State, and restore that
spirit and principle of democracy OIL
which the Republic rests, but which,
Of late years, has shown signs of de
cay through lack of interest and
activity on the part of the great
mass Of producers who stand to
profit most from an active partici-
patton in the affairs Of any demo-
cratic government.
The workers of Spokane are in
the fight with that spirit and en-
thusiasm that insures success. They
have thoroughly organized the fore
es and real live committees are at
work, and thorough canvass of the
entire city is being made The out
come at Spokane will be keenly
watched by the workers of every
other section of the State, and the
success that is sure to attend their
efforts will have a spurring effect
on the thousands of workers in ev-
cry other section of the State who
are now at work organizing their
forces for the next campaign.

HAVE R. R. OWNERS
WORKED WONDERS?

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Oct. II.
Have the private owners of rail-
roads, through their initiative,
been responsible for advances in
railroading, and would this incen-
tive be lost under government own
ership, asks a correspondent in the
Railway Conductor, official maya
zine of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors.
What are the facts?" asks the
writer.
"The safety brake, the electric
headlight, the automatic coupler,
all have been adopted by the rail
roads after stubborn fight, while
paid lobbyists and railroadcon-
trolled legislators, battled valiant
ly for the rights of the companies
to sacrifice life and limb in the in
terest of false economy. Practical
automatic train stops that would
eliminate the possibility of col
lisions, or at least reduce such pos
sibility to a minimum, have been
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
practical men, and would be in op-
Grafton today, but for the expense
involved, which these practical
minded executives figure might
amount to more than the cost in
damages for lives lost and injuries
sustained in collisions.
The monopoly of refrigerator
car traffic enjoyed by the packers
is due to the lack of initiative and
enterprise on the part of the priv
ately owned railroads, which left
to the initiative of Swift the pro-
vision of this necessity in the trans
portation of meat, which has been
a most potent factor in the building
up of the gigantic trust which ma
tional legislators are now trying to
curb.
THE provision of sleeping ac-
commodations for travellers on long
Journeys, which is a plain duty Of
the transportation lines, was like
wise farmed out to private in
dividual, which has led to the build
ing up of the great Pullman COM
pany, with its special privileges
and capacity for extortion.' -

Representatives of Steel Workers
to Judge Gary.

During a general campaign of
organization and education con-
Quoted under the auspices OF the
American Federation Of Labor
many thousands of men employed
in the iron and steel industry made
application and were enrolled as
members of the various organiza

This work has been carried on
to a point where we feel justified
in stating to you that we repre-
sent the sentiment of the vast ma
jority of the employees of this in
dustry, and, acting in behalf Of
them, we solicit of you that hear
ing be given to the undersigned
committee, who have been selected
by the duly accredited representa-
tives Of the employees to place be-
fore you matters that are of vital
concern to them and concerning
hours of labor, wages, working
conditions and the right of collec-

c. c. DILL SPEAKS
ON PLUMB PLAN

Hon. c. c. Dill, two terms Repre-
sentative in Congress from the Spo-
kane district, delivered an address
to a small but appreciative audience
at Red Mems Hall last Monday
evening.
The notice of his coming was too
short and a misunderstanding re-
garding arrangements for the ad-
dress caused a failure of properly
advertising the meeting.
Mr.. DilIs subject was the Plumb
Plan for Government ownership and
control OF the railroads. His knowl-
edge of the subject made it easy for
Mr.. Dill to explain the Plumb Plan
so clearly that all his hearers un-
derstood him perfectly.
The Journal will not give a re-
port OF Mr.. Dill's address, as the
space at its disposal is too small to
do the subject justice, but will say
that all interested in the railroad
question and its bearing on the
economic life of the nation-all
those not fortunate enough TO be at
the meeting a great treat.
However, the Journal will say
that it publishes much matter on
this subject from weeR to week. and
will endeavor to spread the light on
this solution of the railroad prob
lem.
Mr.. Dill will visit Everett again
to speak on the same subject, and
MIR. Glenn e. Plumb, attorney for
the railroad brotherhoods, author
of the plan, will speak in this city
in the future.

THE PUBLIC PRESS
SCREENS BIG BIZ

MADISON. Wis, Oct. 1.-THE
public press is quick to throw up a
screen in defense of large employ
ing interests, says Editor Evjue, of
the Capital Times, in commenting
on a pamphlet issued by tho Amer
lcan meat packers in Chicago, in
which is contained newspaper eX-
pressions against federal legislation
that would control the meat pack
ers.
I'VE have had," says this liberal
publication, some eloquent exam
Piles lately Of the manner in which
the press of the country springs t.
the defense of monopoly when these
monopolies are attacked. The
packers bill and the steel trust
strike are examples.
"Our readers will recall how
quickly the newspapers began to
feed the American people the poison
that nearly all of the steel strikers
who walked out were foreigners,
while Americans remained on the
job. II the men who walked out are
foreigners, who is to blame? Is any
newspaper censure directed at the
steel trust?
The American people are being
fed steady stream of poison when
ever the interests of privilege are
assailed.
There is ho policy more firmly
established among the American
people than that we will not per-
nit the adulteration of TODD. We
protect the physical body against
poison.
And stiil, when it comes TO poi
soning the minds of the American
people by the use of newspapers
that are serving selfish interests,
the American people seem indiffer-
ent.
THE pamphlet sent ont by the
packers is impressive to those who
look behind the scenes in the strug-
gle that is going on today"

|. w. w. SCABBING
AT BELLINGHAM

1t will not surprise many of the
Trades Unionists of our State, who
have followed the activities of the
/. w. w. in recent years, to learn
that several hundred of their mem
bers are scabbing on the striking
Timber Workers at Bellingham. and
are Systematically endeavoring to
disrupt that organization and de-
feat the aims of their strike.
Several weeks ago a representa-
tive of the I. W. w. was sent to
Bellingham and established head
quarters, and Immediately began re-
cruiting members of the 1. w. w.
for the purpose Of going to work IN
the scab lumber mills of the Bloedel-
Donovan Co. The striking Timber
Workers at Bellingham estimate
that they (the I. W. W. have re-
cruited approximately 900 men for
Bellingham, most of whom are now
at work In the mills. The CITY is
being flooded with their literature.
and evidently unlimited finances
are behind them in their campaign
of disruption.
Members of the I. w w, we are
informed, are constantly picketing
the ranks Of the striking Timber
Workers, endeavoring to induce
them TO return to work on the pre-
text of striking on the Job. The
Bloedel-Donovan Co., which a few
weeks ago was practically forced to
position where they were giving
consideration to meeting with rep
resentatives Of the Timber Workers
Union for the purpose of settling
the strike, are now. with the aid and
cooperation of the l. w. W, ignor-
ing every effort being made to bring
about a settlement. AS a result
they have now larger number OF
men employed than they had ever
hoped to obtain, and have reached
such a point of arrogance as TO even
refuse to meet any Of the represent
atives of the State Federation of
Labor, on request made a few DAYS
ago by President Short, or even to
discuss a settlement.
The appeal for financial aid for
the boys at Bellingham has not met

ECONOMIC MEETING
IS HELD At CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, oct. 11.-For
the first time in the history of this
country conference composed Of
so representatives of various inter
ests was held in this city to discuss
industrial questions.
The conference was the result OF
call issued last month by the
president, for the purpose" he said
of reaching. if possible, some COM
mon ground of agreement and ac-
tion with regard to the future con-
duct of industry"
Labor was represented by Presi-
dent Gompers and il associate mem
bers of the A. F. of L. and repre-
sentatives of each of the four rail-
road brotherhoods. In the list rep
resenting the public were Judge
Gary, John d. Rockefeller, Jr.. and
Acting President Jewell of the rail-
way employees department, A. F. Of
L. Other interests represented vera
the farmers with three representa-
tives, the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States with five repre-
sentatives, investment bankers with
two representatives, and the ma
tional industrial conference, which
includes a score of manufacturers
associations, with five representa-
tives.
Because of illness, the President
was absent, and Secretary Of Labor
Wilson called the conference to or
der. After dwelling upon the prob
lens facing the world as the result
of the wastage Of war and upon the
financial initiation in all commercial
countries, which has played havoc
with the relative values of money,
wages and commodities, the labor
secretary said that "the effect of
these things has been reflected in
the high cost Of living and the con-
sequent demand for higher wage
rates to meet the increasing burden
of the family budget, yet increases
in the wage rate do not always
give relief"
The conference selected Secretary
Of the Interior Lane to act as chair
man. The remedies suggested for
present-day conditions run into the
hundreds. and the opening session
of the conference indicated that it
would be conducted on the open
forum" plan, with an absence OF any
attempt by any element to force
things.

Judge Gary to Representatives of
Steel Workers

We do not think you are author
lied to represent the sentiment of a
majority of the employees Of the
United States Steel Corporation and
its subsidiaries. We express no
opinion concerning any other mem
bers of the iron and steel industry.
"As heretofore publicly stated
and repeated, our corporation and
subsidiaries, although they do not
combat labor unions as such, decline
to discuss business with them. The
corporation and subsidiaries are
opposed to the closed shop. They
stand for the open shop, which
permits one to engage in any line
of employment, whether one does or
does not belong to a labor union.
This best promotes the welfare of
both employees and employers. In.
view of the we'll known attitude, as
above expressed, the officers of this
corporation decline to discuss with
you, as representatives of a labor
union, any matter relating to en-
ployees."

OLD IDEALS REJECTED
BY LABOR SINCE WAR

LONDON, Eng, Oct. 1.-THE
war has inspired workers to greater
things and employers must realize
that wage earners will demand a
greater share of production, and
that they will not settle down"
and accept pre-war conditions,
writes a correspondent in Rey-
nold's Newspapers. Periods of So
cial upheavals always follow great
wars" he says. Take the Napo-
leonic war. People in England at
its start were virtually slaves.
They could not leave their own
parish to work elsewhere. Trade
unions were illegal. men were i'm
prisoned who 'conspired against
their masters. Only the people in
the large towns were anything like
free. After a period of war-waste
and destruction, Dor is at prem
ium.
"It was the same after Waterloo
when this country had it's purse
drained by Pitts loans to the CONT
mental allies. Labor was excited,
restless. discontended-awakening
to the knowledge of its strength.
In the years of restlessness which
followed, labor cast off the shackles
of obvious slavery and commenced
the long struggle which, after near
ly a century of battling, ended in
victory for labor, with the secur-
ing of the vote and with the legal
right to strike.
"The present day unrest is caused
by two factors-first, by the know
ledge gained by the workers who
have travelled and have seen them
selves in a new light; and, second
". by the natural reaction which
has followed the strain OF the war
workers have been amazed at
the pTOlltS llIdue Wy IhO
The scales have fallen from the
workers eyes. Never again will they
ho content with the old conditions
under which they existed, fluctu-
ating closely to the margin of star
vation.
"At the present moment America
is being held up as the bogey. Amer
lea will snatch our trade! America
will seize the world markets! What
Is more likely to happen is that the
American workers will copy the
methods of the workers of this
country and cease their feverish
struggle for the maximum individ-
nal output-a state of slavery un-
der which life becomes we'll nigh
insupportable, and which, at most,
can only continue for a brief num-
ber of years.
THE second reason why workers
won't settle down is because theT
have been rubbed UP the wrong
way by those in power
During the war the stimulus TO
win was the great incentive to work
Now that stimulus is gone, what
are we going to put into its place?
The capitalists can provide that
incentive by giving greater share
of reward to labor. That is tang
ible reward; but nagging is only IT.
ritating."
