Unions Beneficial to
Western WOOdmen

Seattle-Men who for years have
been connected with the timber in
dustry stare in amaZement at the
change that has taken place because
of trade union methods, writes Sec
Treasurer Norland of the In
ternational Union OF Timber Workers
"They see sanitary conditions IN
camps and mills greatly remedied;
blankets and boards, formerly used
as covering and mattresses, replaced
with sheets and springs; they see
general improvement on every hand." a."
The timber workers are being op-
posed in their trade union efforts by
company union" called the loyal
legion of loggers and lumbermen,
which is referred to by Secretary
Norland.
at is amusing to hear some of
these so-called patriots among the
lumbermen who are lauding the al
to the sky and hollering American
ism to the top of their voices and
in the next breath hiring as many
Japs as their plants will stand"
Fright now lumber and shinglel
prices are soaring skyward, and
there is no telling where they are
going to stop. Mills are overstocked
with orders that will take months to
fill, but has there been any attempt
on the part of the operators to take
care of the workers share of this
prosperity? Has their allied So
called labor organization done any
thing? No 1t is up to the timber
workers to take care of this matter

Labor Challenges the
Steel Trust BarOnS

Atlantic City, N. IA challenge to
the United States steel corporation
was uttered by John Fitzpatrick,
president of the Chicago federation
of labor, in an address before the A.
F. of L. convention. He urged that
congress be asked to investigate the
denial of constitutional rights of free
assembly and free speech by NUM-
cipal officers in western Pennsyl-
vania towns.
"The steel trust" he said," has en-
ployed thugs to terrorize their en-
ployes from attending organization
meetings. Halls have been denied
us, who are trying to organize the
workers in the steel industry, and in
several towns, including McKeesport,
the local police and municipal Off
cials have ordered that street meet
ings shall not be held. have in my
hand a letter from the chief of police
of McKeesport notifying me that no
more street meetings will be allowed
in that city, and any attempt to dis
obey the order will be met with the
arrest of any person attempting to
speak.
"Our answer is that We cannot OBJ
tain halls to hold meetings We will
speak in the streets, regardless of the
consequences"
The speaker who is vice chairman
Of the committee now organizing the
steel industry, said that 10000 steel
and iron employees were organized
during the last four months, and 40O,-
900 more want to be organized, but
"the steel trust is fighting the idea
tooth and nail"
