One Stadium Enough

The men who at the meeting in the
Labor Temple tried to think out some
sort of public work to give employ
ment to those now out of work didn't
hit on very happy idea when they
lit on that of spending $4,000 in
building a stadium in the gulch south
of Everett.
That would be about as imprac-
ticable and unnecessary as anything
it is possible to think up at this time.
The idea of building stadium sew
eral blocks from the nearest street
car line, accessible only over unpaved
streets, with nothing to commend it
self to use except scenery, doesn't
seem a practical proposition at this
time.
Besides the current football ex-
citement is expected to result in CIV
ing Everett an athletic field with a
possible seating capacity of 10000. .
That will provide the city with all
the stadium it will require for sew
eral years and that too without the
increase in taxes that would be re-
quired to build a $4,000 plant down
in the gulch.
If it is necessary to provide public
york for unemployed, let it be some
thing that will give the taxpayers a
return for the money-something
that will he useful as we'll as orna-
mental.-The Tribune.

and women who must have it if they
would eat. They know that the sta
dium suggested as a part of Everett's
park system will cost money and
that the city is not able or ready to
build one. But it was thought that
perhaps money might be raised to do
some preliminary work, and work is
urgently needed now.
The stadium proposition in the
gulch, not far from Providence Hos
pital, is not impracticable, but it may
be unnecessary. Everett is a town
of 10000 people, is 80 years old and
it has not seemed necessary to have
a park at all for a recreation ground
for the people. Everett has had all
out of doors from which to select land
for parks, but has not now what
would be called an improved park by
any citizen of any other town. They
are now improving a tract of land at
Silver Lake, six miles north of the
city, which can only be enjoyed by
people who have money. The pro-
posed gulch site belongs to the city
and is not many blocks from street
car line. Anyway it is not six miles
from the city limits.
The Current football excitement"
has done two good things among
others. 1t has awakened the people
to the fact that. they have no play
ground and wounded civic pride just
little.
Your proposed athletic field would
probably be a privately-owned affair,
where the price Of admission is too
high for the majority. A cheaply
constructed affair at that.

Unemployment
Over in Canada

Toronto, Ont.-Demanding deeds
instead Of words, thousands of unem-
ployed war veterans in Toronto, as
well as in Hamilton, 40 miles distant,
are holding out-of-work demonstra-
tons, which are causing great con-
cern in official circles.
Similar demonstrations in the Brit
ish isles, where a majority of Can
ada's war veterans were born, are
having a marked effect here, while
special cables published in Toronto
newspapers say the British workers
are watching every development in
the unemployment situation in the
domnion's industrial centers.
Toronto veterans held a largely at
tended parade to the provincial par
lament buildings and the city hall.
They rushed a police guard at the
provincial capitol. their leaders and
cabinet members speaking from the
balcony They refused to sing "God
Save the King" in front of the city
hall, despite the pleadings of their
leaders, but stood with barred heads
in silent prayer for the dead in Flan-
ders' fields, whom Harry Flynn, gen
eral organizer of the Grand Army of
United Veterans, declared were bet
ter off than the returned men of
Toronto. Later they raided restau-
rants.
Hamilton veterans held an indig-
nation meeting, demanding immedi-
ate action by dominion, provincial and
municipal authorities. "We are not
going to suffer. privation," said
George G. Halcrow, Labor member of
the provincial legislature for East
Hamilton, who was selected the fol-
lowing day as floor leader of the
Labor group in that assembly. "Those
days are gone when the working man
could be starved at the whim of the
capitalistic class"
Emergency meetings of public
bodies, both here and in Hamilton,
followed quickly, and Toronto's large
shipyards, which closed for the win
ter several months ago, reopened al
most overnight, while Scott military
barracks in Hamilton, which has not
been used since the war, is now fully
equipped to give asylum, as we'll as
cne good meal a day. to destitute re-
turned soldiers and civilians.
Immediate work, including erection
of public buildings and construction
of roads, is promised by provincial
and municipal authorities in both
cities. The war veterans, however,
continue their demonstrations.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1920-12-31

This city does not need stadium
or parks to give any body return
for their money" Such institutions
should be publicly-owned, for the use
of all the people.
The Tribune is reminded that these
unemployment meetings are not held
for the purpose of making money for
taxpayers and landlords, but for the
purpose of securing needed work for
the unemployed in order that they
and their families may eat. If the
unemployed were all at work at de-
cent living wages the taxpayers and
merchants would lie more prosperous.
And beside, the people who own
land and rent it do not pay taxes in
fact. Their tenants pay the taxes
and if those tenants manufacture or
sell goods they charge the taxes to
their customers. Some of those un-
employed in Everett were customers
that paid taxes when they were at
work.

Union EX-Service Men
Warn Florida Thugs

Tampa, Fla, Dec. 25.-The 1900
union cigar makers who took part in
the world war and are now resisting
the attempt of cigar manufacturers
to deunionize this industry, have
given notice to these employers and
other business men that their bluff
and coercion will not be tolerated.
The ex-service men are members
of the Cigar Makers union. In an
attempt to drive back to work the
10000 cigar makers a committee of
self-appointed business men called at
strike headquarters and attempted to
intimidate officials in charge.
In an open letter to these thugs
the eX-service men call attention to
the principles they fought for in
France.
eve are just as loyal to these
principles now as we were then, and
certainly we do not propose to de-
sert our leaders in a fight for a just
cause as result of threats and bull
doing intimidation of a handful of
men acting for the manufacturers
under the guise of the citizens COM
mittee."
"We also want to inform you that
when you attempt to carry into exc
cution your threat against certain
members of the unions and their in
ternational representative you will
find these 1,500 eX-service men as
persistent in their opposition as they
were in their defense of just prin-
ciples in France.
"We do not seek trouble, indus
trially or otherwise, but, upon the
contrary, will endeavor to promote
peace, harmony and progress upon
all occasions and it is upon this basis
that we now pledge our best efforts
against such illegal and disturbing
elements as the citizens commit
tee"

PersOnnel-The director or person
in charge of the entire department
of labor and industries is appointed
by the governor with the aid and ad-
vice of the senate. He is responsible
for the success of this department.
He in turn appoints the persons in
charge of the three sub divisions and
the heads of each of these sub-divi-
sions appoints his assistants and en-
ployees with whom he works. 1t is
a businesslike arrangement with the
responsibility definitely fixed through
out. We have not attempted to change
the substantive law or functions of
these agencies except in the indus
trial relations.
Industrial Relations - The princi-
pal findings of the Commission are
incorporated in the conclusions relat-
ing to industrial relations. We have
proposed a division or bureau with
three subdivisions as follows:
Division or bureau of industrial re-
lations.
1. Mediation, conciliation, arbitra-
tion etc.
2. Industrial statistics.
3. Women in industry.
Mediation, Cancellation, Arbitra- =

charge of a state mediator and as
sistants. Their duties are to actively
encourage and assist in the forma-
ton of, in all communities and in
dustries, local adjustment boards, in
dustrial councils, etc, to meet local
conditions, and thus tend to prevent
industrial differences from reaching
the acute stage, and also to offer
their own services as mediators in
cases of industrial disputes. In dis
putes affecting public utilities and
industries affecting the general pub
lie interest it is mandatory for them
to investigate and make prompt pub
lie reports.
Industrial Statistics-This sub-di-
vision is in charge of an industrial
statistician with such assistants, eX-
perts, etc, as may be necessary to
carry on this branch of the work. 1t
is their duty to gather industrial sta
tistics that may be needed for use by
the mediation, conciliation and adjust
ment boards or by any department
having need of industrial statistics.
They are also required to compile
such reports and statistics to conform
as far as possible to the plans and
reports of the United States Depart
ment of Labor.

MOndell Urges Cut in
War Appropriations

Washington, Dec. 28.-Republican
Floor Leader Mondell yesterday de-
clared amid applause from the house,
that we shall never be able to make
adequate appropriations for internal
improvements and other constructive
government works unless we reduce
the enormous total of the appropria-
tions carried in the army and navy
bills.
This year, he pointed out, we have
appropriated $845, 100000 directly for
military and naval purposes, more
than three times as much as in any
pre-war year. at is much more than
we should appropriate for the COM
ing fiscal year." he said, "and yet
the war department is asking us for
$567 100000 more"
Congressman Mondell criticized
Secretary Baker for recruiting the
army far beyond the number appro-
priated for by congress and declared
it was the duty of congress to prevent
peoples money by creating deficien-
cies in violation of law. A deficiency
of from 60 to a hundred millions in
the war department is an unwelcome
Christmas gift from Secretary Baker
to congress harassed by financial
troubles and beset by business COM
munity demanding tax reduction.
This action of the secretary lends
point to Congressman Mondell's de-
mand that congress cut the war ap-
preparations not only below the
bloated estimates Just submitted but
below the swollen figures of the
present year, so that funds may be
available for the constructive activi-
ties of the government. The Wyo-
ming representative who last spring
strongly opposed universal military
training because of its cost, has cut
out large task for himself in trying
to save anything for other govern
ment work, in face of the voracious
danandc Of the arn1v and naVV
