CATION to the National convention
1t is charged by the supporters of Gen. Wood,
Senator Harding and other leading Republicans by
the New York Tribune and other leading Republi-
can papers, that the Reds and radicals of one sort
and another throughout the country, men who claim
political party home have voted in the
Republican primaries Senator Johnson Senator
Johnson declares that the profiteers and capalstic
class of the country voted and spent their money
with lavish hand in the Republican primaries in
support of Gen. Wood
One of the results of these proceedings has been
the destruction of the rgidity of party lines they
existed few decades ago. 1t has been said that
they scarcely have political parties in California and
a few other States any more. So much has this
phase of the situation impressed itself on our sys-
TEN of government that have advocates of the
complete destruction the political parties Many
students or pOllt1cdl openly
ing general primaries instead of party primaries
non partisan primaries with ballot, which would
be for ALL for the purpose of eliminating candi-
dates, final race between the two receiving
most votes at the primary.
There which would lead to the con-
cuson that destiny has something of this sort III
for The fact that in California at the last
election five out of State officers and eight
of eleven Congressman nominated by both
the Democratic and Republican parties is one of the

mary where Democrats gave their preferential choice
to Hoover a Republican, the straw vote at Harvard
where Hoover first choice for both the Republi-
and Democratic nominations, and the straw vote
of the Literary Digest where so large percentage
OF those voting show such disregard for party

THE so.CALLED JONES AMENDMENT

The amendment adopted by the Senate Commerce
Committee and recommended to the Senate in the
report of Senator Jones, chairman of that
committee, to the shipping bill that passed last
Fall by the House of Representatives, and which be-
Section 20 in the latest printed bill, would
necessarily put the Canadian steamship lines out
OF business in Alaska but it would embarrass them
and might have that result The amendment does
rot prevent Canadian railroads from making through
rates to and for freight from one Amer-
port another where the transportation is par
water but it would require the water part of the
carriage to be in American bottom 1t would
quire, instance that shipment from Chicago to
Juneau via the Canadian Pacific Grand Trunk
railroad be carried from Vancouver Prince
Rupert to Juneau in an American vessel 1t also
would prevent the Canadian lines from issuing
through tickets checking baggage through from
Alaska Seattle via Vancouver. 1t would not pre-
vent the Canadian line from selling transportation
Vancouver and then scelling another ticket from
there to Seattle 1t would not prevent the Canadian
line from cutting the rate to Vancouver enough to
absorb the from Vancouver to Seattle 1t would,
of require that the baggage be rechecked at
Vancouver Seattle and subject it to customs in
epection both at the Canadian port and the Ameri-
port just hand baggage is subject TO
inspection. 1t would, of course, have tendency to
cause people to take passage on American boats but
it would not make 1t impossible or necessarily more
costly to make the trip from here to Seattle on
Canadian steamers.
However, The Empire believes, it already has
said, that Alaska would be benefited by the
legislation 1t is said that the American steamship
lines have declared they would put better

The Fight For Shop Committees in the IL CIV.
By William Potter.

About ten months ago the active membership,
the wide-awake element of local No. 25 Ladies
Waist and Dress Makers Union of Jew York,
demanded a different system of control and ad-
ministration of the affairs of the local. They
demanded method of control whereby the rank
and file would be able at any time to remove Of
ficials or compel them to carry out their wishes
without any of the lengthy procedure and red tape
which at present makes it almost impossible either
to remove them or to force them to act.
The new system of control and administra-
ton, which the active members were fighting for,
provided that every shop should elect shop COM
mittee and shop chairman. These were to be
subject to immediate recall by the workers in the
shop. The shop committee was to be given full
authority to settle all shop troubles and to enforce
it's decisions with or without the intervention or
assistance of a business agent of the union Power
was to be in the hands of the shop committee
The committee was to be directly responsible to
the workers in the shop who elected them and
who were to have the right to recall them.
All Power To Shop Delegates
For the purpose of controlling the entire labor
power in the trade, every shop was to elect one
OF more representatives to central shop delegate
body, or industrial council These delegates, who
were also to be subject to recall by those who
elected them, were to meet once month in the
central body. Here they would take up and decide
the essential and important work of the union,
pass upon reports, decide union policies etc.
1t was proposed that this central body of shop
delegates should elect the executive committee
of the union that they should retain control over
the committee and have the right to recall it, in
whole or part, at any regular monthly meeting.
This executive committee should then be entrusted
with the responsibility of regulating all purely
routine work and of appointing and removing the
personnel of the office Under this plan, you see,
the officials would be liable to lose their jobs at
any time, just like you and me. They would have
to carry out the wishes of the rank and file or 60
