The report points out, THE abii-

school instruction in what the War

information received by the State
Headquarters in Seattle. 1t is prob
able that the subject will be han

ton of the National Educational
Association, for the education of
the grade pupils of the State in
what the Savings Stamp project

Active members of the State War

semester each teacher open the
morning session with a fiveminute
talk on what the War Savings
Stamp signifies.

expects to be able to place one OF
these banks i'll the hands of each

GERMAN UNIONS
WIN BIG VICTORY

BERLIN, Germany, July 10
German employers have capitulated
before trade unionism, says the
Bulletin, official magazine of the
International Union of Wood Work
ers. 1t is declared that the unions
took advantage Of the revolution to
secure gains that would not have
been possible a few weeks before.
The Bulletin says;
"The agreement of November Is,
1918, is signed by the representa-
tives of the various trade unions
and all the principal employers
fderations. 1t is, therefore, valid
for the whole German industry. The
agreement acknowledges the trade
unions as the legal representatives
of the workers and excludes the So
called yellow unions. The men
discharged from the army are en-
titled to return to their former
places and the labor exchange lem
ployment bureau is regulated by a
Joint board.
Working conditions are fixed
by collective agreements and con
citation boards are provided to set
tie disputes. Of especial interest is
the following clause:
"The maximum of the regular
working hours for all shops is fixed
at eight hours. A reduction of
wages must not take place on ac-
count of this reduction of hours.
This agreement received very
soon an important extension
through the establishment of the
Joint board of the industrial and
trade employers and employees OF
Germany whose rules were fixed
on December a, 1918. The object
of this board is to jointly solve all
economic and social questions con-
nected with Germany's industry and
trade. as we'll as all legislative and
administrative matter concerning
the same. 1t is q cooperation OF
all employers and workers organ
izations and the local organizations
of both branches form the base.
They are concentrated as craft
groups and extend over the entire
country with joint executive com
mittee of employers and employees
at the head.
This resolves itself into control
bv a central executive of represent
atives of the various craft groups
and is looked upon as the German
industrial parliament of the future
"These agreements mean a ire
mendous success for trade union
ism. The employers, the rulers over
many thousands of workers and
who had very great Influence IN
old Germany, have capitulated be-
fore the trade unions

POWER OF PACKERS
IN MEATS AND MANY
OTHER INDUSTRIES

Continued from Page One)
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1919-07-25
Packers Can Starve Consumers

The report quotes an Armour ad
of about a year and a half ago at
which time Mr.. Armour claimed
that the Armour Company could
supply virtually every food she
(the housewife) needs for her ia
ble-practically everything for ev-
cry meal in the week, including the
Meatless Day! Soups, fish, yegeta-
bles, fruits, condiments, beverages,
she can secure them all under the
guarantee of the Armour name"
The report thus shows how the
packers have got control of substi-
tutes for meat so that they can force
down prices temporarily and have
the power to starve the American
people or compel them to pay the
packers prices. The packers also
have the same power for life or
death over the consumer that it has
over the producer.
The report shows that the Big
Five handle at least half of the
poultry, eggs and cheese in the
more important channels Of inter-
state commerce and they sold
through their branch houses alone
in 1916 nearly 1OO,OOO,0OO pounds
of poultry, 9O,OOO,OOO pounds of
butter, 100000 pounds of cheese
and over 135,O00,0OO dozen eggs.
The report states, in 1917 the Big
Five's combined sales Of meats and
other commodities totaled $2,126,-
245,0OO; in 1918, they we're over
$3,OO0,0OO,OOO." The Big Five, the
