House of Representatives Ad pts Fordneys
Anti-Dumpinn Measure.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 10 Without
a record vote, the House yesterday passed
the Fordney bill designed to prevent
foreign manufacturers from flooding Amer
lean markets with products sold at a
lower price in the United States than
in the country of manufacture. The
measure would authorize the Secretary
Of the Treasury to send agents to inspect
books and plants of manufacturers of ex-
ports TO the United States and to study
prices OF such merchandise abroad
Should the producers refuse to SUBJ
NIT to such inspection their products
would be excluded from the United States.

sumption of normal conditions may be
hurried as much as Is possible.
There are thousands of empty coal
cars in every coal field already. More
will be rushed to the source of supply
for loading during the remainder OF the
week and there will be no question OF
car supply or of quick dispatch OF the
loaded cars to the centers where the need
of fuel is greatest.
But it all depends upon the number
of miners who return, the spirit with
which they begin digging coal again and
their eagerness to show the country a
desire TO repair as much as possible the
damage their strike has wrought. If the
men are working full time by the end
of this week, the coal which they dig will
begin moving Immediately and the relief
will be felt by the end of next week,
officials here are convinced.

Processing patriotic desire to do
something liberal for the returning
soldier, it spurned the wishes of the
soldier and dragged the very name
of patriotism in the dust.
This Legislature Wandered aim
lessly into the traps set for it by
scheming and INSCRIPTIONS lead
ers, and, finding itself trapped and
helpless, spinelessly submitted to
their domination. Ashamed of its
indifference to the demands of the
people it sought to hide it's respon-
sibility in secret committee rooms,
behind closed doors, under the
cover of free conferences and in
other ways resorted to the dark
lantern political methods of the
days gone by. Smarting under the
criticisms of press and public it
sought to cover up it's tracks and
shift it's own responsibilities to the
shoulders of others.

Replete With Schemes

This Legislature was a legisla-
ture of schemes, stratagems and
spoils. Representing business and
business interests, it worked the
will of business and the business
interests. Believing in bosses and
boss rule. 1t took its orders from
the bosses. Possessing faith in the
benevolent autocracy of the party
system of government, it forged
new weapons for parties and for
party leaders, Lacking an under
standing of the problems of mod
ern industrialism 1t was unable, as
it was unwilling. even to undertake
to solve those problems. Supicious
of the possibilities of democracy, it
sought to undermine democracy

No Home Rule

1t gave us no extension of the
rights of home rule for cities. 1t
sought to render our county gov
ernments even less responsible than
at present by the extension of the
terms of county officers. 1t further
squandered the bounty of all the
people in our state owned oyster
lands, but killed "a conservation
measure to authorize their cultiva-
ton under leaseholds. 1t doubled
the license tax on automobiles to
raise money for the construction of
pork barrel roads.
1t refused to petition the federal
government for the retention of the
railroads, and neglected to contrib
ute, even by the expression of opin-
ion, to the worldwide movement
for worldwide democracy and uni
versal peace. Praising the high
ideals for which the recent war
was fought, it refused to raise its
feeble hand to help us now to re-
alize those ideals.

WANTS EN- INCORPORATED

BOSTON, March S.-Representa-
tive Whidden has introduced a bill
in the State Legislature for incor-
poration of labor unions. He is
supported by employers who say
they want to deal with responsible
parties" Ten per cent of trade un-
ionists control the 80 per cent, said
Representative Whidden.
The unionists laugh at this claim
and show how convenient the law
would prove in times of strike
when the employer wanted to tie
up a unions funds. If the union
was incorporated, it could be sued.
Action could be started on any pre-
text and it would be easy to find
judge who would issue an in
junction against the union using
any of it's funds until the employ
er's claim for damages was settled,
or thrown out of court after long
litigation.

Squandered Money

This Legislature squandered the
peoples money like gang of
drunken sailors. Until noon yes
terday no member of either house
was able to calculate, within mil
lion dollars. how many millions it
had appropriated. 1t imposed mil
lions of new burdens upon the peo-
pie, in general or in special taxes,
and then cut those millions up
among its members in the closed
committee rooms. II appropriated
nearly 100000 for roads, and
submitted to the people a PROPOSE
tion to bond the state for $50, 000,-
900 more. This money, in large
part, is to be expended on roads
laid out in the back rooms of these
same committees. From first to
last the system of distribution has
been a system of grab what you
can and keep what you geU.'
And yet the members of this Leg
islature did not Intentionally betray
their constituents nor intentionally
neglect or refuse to enact the laws
their constituents desired. They
themselves are the victims of an
intricate and hopeless political sys-
tenn, a system built up at Olympia
by an age-old conspiracy of the
crooked and corrupting agents of
the selfish special interests. Hedged
about by constitutional restrictions
and a complicated system of legis-
lative rules and procedents they
were unable to accomplish even the
good work they were willing and
anxious to accomplish.
Take the case u the city mar
kets bill. A large majority Of the
members of both houses were
probably willing to enact it. But it
was caught in the tangle OF croko-
ed parliamentary procedure from
which it's champions appeared un-
able to extricate it. 1t was held

VICTORY OF SEATTLE
SH|PYARD WORKERS

Last Thursday and Friday about
5000 riveters and other members
of the Boilermakers Union laid down
their tools and walked out because
their employers issued an ultima
tum declaring for an open shop.
The men returned to work in ac-
cordance with an agreement that
they were to be received without
discrimination and on the same con-
ditions existing on January 81, when
the strike occurred.
The managers attempted a VIC
lation of the agreement. The Skim
ner G. Eddy Corporation refused to
be a party to the open shop scheme,
in other words it kept it's agreement
with the men.
The third factor in the situation
was the action taken by John
Lindsay, assistant to Henry Nc
Bride and acting during the latter's
absence in Washington as the North
west representative of the Industrial
Relations Division of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. Lindsay called
the employers together and told
them candidly that the government
would require them to live up to
their agreement.
The managers yielded and the
men who walked out went back to
work.

What It Failed to Do

But the session was chiefly no.
table for what it failed to do. 1t
refused to respond to the demo-
cratic desire of the people for a
larger participation in their gov
eminent. 1t neglected to submit to
them call for new constitution
al convention. 1t refused to pass
the nonpartisan election law, the
blanket primary law, or the presi-
Dental primary law. 1t failed to
make the referendum and recall
laws more workable, or the regis
tration law more democratic. 1t
even curtailed the primary law in
the interests of machine politics
and corporate domination.
The Legislature gave the State
Constitution the once over and de-
cided that it is already good
enough. Only two minor amend
ments were submitted to the peo-
pie 1t refused to submit an
amendment to reform the old
straight-ja general property
tax system, to make possible
the more equitable distribution of
the burdens of taxation. One Of
the amendments submitted would
authorize the condemnation of idle
land for resale to settlers. 1t will
arouse bowls of rage from the land
spectators when they discover it.
Another would increase the sala-
ries of elected State officials. Thus
far and no farther will this Legis-
lature permit the people to go in
amending their fundamental law.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1919-03-21
Special Interest Heard

This Legislature heard the rau-
cous calls of selfish special in
terests, but gave little heed to
the interests of the great voice
less masses of the people. 1t
yielded little response to the
high ideals of womankind and
little heed to the pathetic cries of
the unfortunate children of the
poor. There was no adequate eff
fort to Grub the insolent rule of
the rent hog, the land Spectator,
the get-rich-quick promoter, or the
profiteering middleman. 1t Of
fered no suggestion of relief from
the evils of industrial serfdom or
the unchecked exploitation of the
women who work. No move was
made to curtail patroiteering mob
violence or official terrorism.
This Legislature did little or
nothing to put a stop to public
service political corruption, saw
dust domination and fish trap sub
serviency. 1t abandoned our tradi-
tional policy of public service cor
poration regulation, enacted the g.
cent fare law for the street cars
and authorized the state to go to
law against the president of the
United States in defense of the
profits of the railroads.

Good Acts and Bad Acts of the
Sixteenth Legislature
Summarized
by Joe Smith, Union Record Staff
Correspondent

OLYMPIA, March 15.-The / 9Th
regular session of the Washington
Legislature is dead. It's members
have returned to their homes I'M
wept, unhonored and unsung.
They leave behind a long list of
needless laws for lawyers to squab-
BILE over in the courts, and an I'M
| digested and uncalculated mess of
appropriations of the peoples
money. Including millions which
were passed around in pork for
distribution among the constitu-
ents of its unfaithful members. It's
evil work in repressive criminal
laws will live to curse the thou
sands who transgress them. The
good it failed to do stands out upon
it's record like blot of shame.
1t was no worse, and in some re-
spects was even better than the
sessions which preceded IT. In
strictly moral legislation it attained
new heights in legislative decency.
In labor legislation 1t responded
materially to the demands of the
organized workers for strictly la
Dor laws. In promoting material
development it entered upon three
| important new experiments. 1t re-
stored the mothers pension law to
the abandoned mother. 1t improved
the teachers pension law and the
firemen's pension law. 1t increased
the allowances for workmen injur-
ed in industry, and established an
elaborate "safety-first" department
with adequate funds. 1t gave legal
recognition to labor unions, it pro-
vided for the quarantine of social
diseases and it established an in
dustrial home for diseased women.
1t set aside 100000 for the char
table relief of returning soldiers.
