An Everett Pioneer
Died Last Tuesday

Jacob Kline, for 30 years resi-
dent of Everett, died last Tuesday at
1880 a. M, at Providence hospital
where he was taken about two weeks
ago. Since he received a blow on the
head when he fell because of a stroke
of paralysis while he was a visitor in
California last winter, he has been
continually losing strength and was
unconscious ten days before his death
An uncle and cousins residing in
st. Louis are the only relatives
known to survive him. His wife died
about three years ago and he has
neither brothers nor sisters so far
as his friends here know.
Mr.. Kline was formerly a member
Of the firm of Ward & Kline and
was a veteran saloon keeper of the
city. He built the garage on Colby
Avenue which the Dodge agency now
occupies. He had extensive real es-
tate holdings in Everett.
The body is in charge of J. F. Jer-
read, undertaken.

Col. Hartley, Patriot

Col. Roland H. Hartley, of Ev-
erett, who is a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor
at the primary election, is making a
stirring campaign on a platform of
Americanism, open shop, ct cetera.
Fortunately for the Colonel, the or
ganized workers of Washington have
decided not to enter the Republican
primaries, as it might have proven
rather embarrassing for the Colonel
to have explained to the people of
Washington why this simon-pure
brand of Americanism he now so
loudly proclaims wasn't so strongly
in evidence when it was needed most
during the war.
The story was given out just re-
Gently at Anacortes, that in 1918, at
a time when the children and people
generally of America were eating
war bread made from substitutes, as
result of the wheat shortage, that
Co. Roland H. Hartley, now candi-
date for governor, fed % tons of
Al wheat at one time to wild ducks
and other fowl on his private shoot
ing preserve on an island located
across from Anacortes, in Skagit
County.
Of course, this act can be excused
on the grounds of the natural bond
of sympathy that should exist be-
tween the Col. and the wild ducks.
The Colonel is such wild duck him
self. If you don't believe this, at
tend one of his meetings and hear
the old bird quack.

Farmer-LabOr
Party Approved
By Membership

The returns received at the State
headquarters of the Triple Alliance
show that the referendum vote or
the adoption of the Harlin resolu
tion has carried by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
The Harlin resolution was intro
duced at the late Yakima conven-
ton of the Triple Alliance, and
makes that body the State branch
of the National Farmer-Labor party.
The districts which opposed the
Third Party idea strongest in the
late convention, have all voted al
most unanimously for the Farmer
Labor Party, carrying out their
pledge made after the result was de-
clared at Yakima, to go down the
line together unitedly for one pro-
gram.
Several conferences are to be held
during the coming week between the
State chairman of the FarmerLabor
Party, D. c. Coates, and the repre-
sentatives of other liberal groups,
with a view to uniting all of the
| liberal forces in the state in the
Farmer-Labor Party.
situation, and giving to the rank
and file membership great deal of
information that should be in their
possession, had been contemplated
by the Bulletin, but will not be com
piled until after the conferences
above referred to have been held,
and a complete statement dealing
with the situation now confronting
us can be made.
Several enthusiastic picnics and
mass meetings have been held dur
ing the last week. under the aus
pices of the Triple Alliance. Last
Sunday, monster picnic was held
at Wapato Lake, Tacoma, at which
Robert Bridges was the principal
speaker. An enthusiastic picnic was
held at Anacortes on the same date,
with over 500 in attendance. John
Kennedy, former councilman of Chi
cago and President Short of the
Federation, addressed the gathering.
| Everyone present who was not al
ready a member of the Triple Alli-
ance and the new Farmer-Labor
Party came up Immediately at the
conclusion of the addresses and joined
the organization. Skagit County will
be carried in the fall election by the
Farmer-Labor Party. That is al
ready practically assured.
d. C. Coates addressed a monster
mass meeting at Tono, Thurston
County, on the same date, while
meetings in Kitsap and other coun-
ties on the west side were also
held with great success.

Avoid Confusion
Seattle, Wash.

Seattle, Wash.
August 18th, 1920.
To All Affiliated Unions, Greetings:
There seems to be some confusion
over the drive being made for gen.
eral campaign fund for the Farm
er-Labor Party, and the voluntary as
sessment of $1.00 per member be-
ing asked for-by instructions of the
Federation Convention-for general
campaign purposes on behalf of La
bor's Legislative Program.
A general finance committee has
been created by the State Farmer
Labor Party which has decided to
raise general campaign fund of
100000 for general campaign pur-
poses. 1t is issuing an appeal to
Farmers, Railroad Workers and all
Liberals generally to respond. The
workers everywhere throughout the
State should respond to this gem
eral appeal.
However, the voluntary assessment
lof $1.00 per member asked for by
the Federation is separate from this
general campaign fund. This vol
untary assessment was asked for by
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1920-08-20

the union to accept the employers
offers.
Second-Quite few firms granted
the eight-hour day, and after seeing
it work are satisfied that is an i'm
provement over the ten hours. These
gains will be held by the organiza-
ton.
Third-As an inducement for the
men to return many employers Of
fered increased wages-from $1.00 to
$500 a day. This is a gain quite to
the credit of the organization.
Fourth-During the strike much
organization work was done. The
men returned to work with a solid
front and the fall and winter will
see large additions to the roll ready
for any new plan thought wise in
the spring.

instructions of the last Federation
Convention at Spokane. This assess
ment will be collected and admins
tered through the State Federation
of Labor. 1t will be deposited in
a special fund by your secretary and
receipted for on the Federation re-
ceipts, and a full account of the re-
ceipts and disbursements will be Civ
en- in the official report of your
secretary. 1t will be disbursed in
joint cooperation with the State
Farmer-Labor Party, and will show
clearly the amount OF Labor's spe'
cial contribution,
The State Supreme Court non-par-
tisan judiciary campaign will have
to be conducted through the Fedora
ton, as the Farmef-Labor Party, as
such, is prohibited from dealing with
this nonpartisan question.
Secretary Buck is also chairman
of the general campaign finance
committee of the State FarmerLabor
Party. All finances received for that
fund are turned over Immediately to
the Farmer-Labor Party and will be
receipted for and accounted for
through their office.
If your Local has endorsed the call
for the voluntary assessment of
$100 per member-and all Locals
should-kindly state when sending
the same to the office that it is the
voluntary assessment of the Fedora
tion, and make the check payable
to the Washington State Federation
of Labor, so that confusion of the
two funds can be completely avoided.
With kindest wishes,
Fraternally yours,
w. M. SHORT,
President, Washington State Fedora
ton of Labor.

ATLAST WOMEN
ARE AS FREE AS
YOU AND ME-, MAN
Sunny Tennessee Casts the 36th
Vote for 10Th Amendment.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 18.-Woman
suffrage became part of the basic
law of the United States today when
the Tennessee Legislature ratified
the Susan B. Anthony constitutional
amendment.
The Tennessee House passed the
ratification resolution which had al
ready been adopted by the senate.
Tennessee was the thirty-sixth
state to ratify, thus completing the
ratification and putting the amend
ment into the Constitution, bringing
to a victorious conclusion the long
fight for equal suffrage in the Unit
ed States.
Let us be thankful that woman
now has that which of right should
have been hers since the birth of the
republic.

A. S. LOCKWOOD

The editor of the Labor Journal re-
ceived last Wednesday a letter from
Mr.. A. S. Lockwood, who for several
years had compiled the annual edi-
tion of the Labor Journal and the
Bellingham Labor Day program. Last
February Mr.. Lockwood suffered an
attack of influenza, which so i'm
paired his health that he was unable
to fill his engagements in the North
west. He and Mrs. Lockwood are
now residing at Lordsburg, New
Mexico, where he has business in
terests. Al has not fully recovered
his health but is slowly improving.
He has a host of friends in Everett

have him in their midst again.

Street Car Men to succeed Delegate
Ellingson. Mrs. Watson was obli-

Opposed to Increased Fares
The Street Car Men introduced
resolutions favoring the proposed
raise in fares by the company, max
ing the claim that an increase In
fares is necessary to enable the
company to provide an adequate ser
vice. After general discussion the
resolutions were laid on the table.
A communication from the Butch

the Unfair List of the Carsten's Meat

quest granted.
Workers College ..
The Ways and Means Committee
of the Workers College sent in a
circular letter inviting all workers to
attend the meetings of the College.
The letter was read and ordered
printed in The Labor Journal. The
letter follows:
Look here Brothers and Sisters:
If your child were sick and actu
ally suffering, and you We're anxious
to know what allied him, would you
call IN a plumber, a bricklayer or a
blacksmith? No. Why?
What would you think of a person
who mixed equal parts Of cement
and flour, and when informed that
those ingredients did not make
bread, answered you, 81 am entitled
to my opinion, and anyhow-the flour
seems to be in the right direction ~
On the assumption of one direct
ing the construction of city block,
without having the least knowledge
of architecture?
This question and assumption may
seem ridiculous to you, but they are
not nearly so foolish as what is
really happening.
Society is sick. Its sickness is
causing the death of teemins thou
sands and distress of millions, yet
men are given the work of handling
its case who are thousand times
less fitted than many plumbers,
bricklayers and blacksmiths would
be in case of your sick child. While
most of the remedies put forth for its
cure are are about as effective and
sensible as the method of bread MAX
ing mentioned above. If we are to
cure the ills of society, we must
understand the nature of the struc-
ture of that society. Then-and
then only-will we be able to under
stand where the trouble lies. And
if we are to build a better society,
we must first become students of
social science, in order to know how
to set ourselves about the task.
1t is for this reason that we are
carrying on classes for the workers
in Everett, similar to those being
held in Seattle, Tacoma and other
towns. Thursday night, we begin a
course in Sociology, with Lester f.
Wards Dynamic Sociology as basis.
These lectures, by James H. Fisher
who has charge of the College class
es, will run as follows;
August Goth, Dynamic Opinion.
Sept. 2nd, Knowledge
Sept. 9th, Education.
Every worker in the city is in
vited to this course of lectures, and
we assure you that those who take
it will never regret the time and
effort thus spent You may start in
with any number on the course.
Meetings are held in Lombard Hall,
every Thursday evening at s o'clock.
Fraternally,
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE,
Workers College.
The meetings will be held in
Lombard Hall, over the Cooper
ative Store.
