SHORTS SPEECH TO
TIMBERWORKERS

Last Sunday President VIM. NJ.
Short, of the State Federation OF
Labor delivered two terse, forceful
speeches, afternoon and evening,
at mass meetings of the Timber
workers Unions. His subject was
industrial Democracy through the
American Federation of Labor YER
sus Prussian Paternalism through
the Al"
He showed clearly the difference
between Collective bargaining as in
use by organized labor and the
Bismarkian paternalistic kind as
practiced by the Al and its en-
ployers. He made it plain that
there could be no even break in a
conference between employers and
employees where both belonged to
the same organization and the
bosses controlled the conference.
Collective bargaining in the al was
simply a camouflage to hide the
paternalistic control over labor by
autocratic bosses, while the real
thing is equal representation on a
committee to decide any question of
difference between the two parties
each side to select its own repre-
sentatives on the committee.

work by the time this reaches the
press. District Attorney Saunders,
at Seattle, announced through the
columns of the Union Record that
he had ordered the coal company
there to restore the status quo and
accept the decision of the govern
ment, rendered at the time the gen.
cral coal strike was brought to a
conclusion. The Wilkeson Coal &
Coke Co., has been since that time
openly defying both the govern
ment and the miners union, and
has been attempting to operate with
handful of non-union men.
District Attorney Saunders de-
cision is the result of months of
effort to try and have the govern
ment assume the same responsible
ity for enforcing its DEGREES against
the coal company that had been
employed against the miners union
during the general strike. 1t is
reported that Mr.. Hewitt, manager
of the coal company, agreed to sub
nit Mr.. Saunders order to his board
of directors, and it is hardly con-
Ceivable that any other decision
can be reached than that of compli-
ance with the government order.
However, meanwhile, we are Won
dering what happened to our dear
old friend, Judge Anderson. Prob
ably the old soul suffers from over
eXertion as a result of his activities
during the miners strike and hasn t
been able to get back into his old
injunction form. We all feel deep
ly interested in his "act", and eX-
pect that by the time Labor again
needs a little restraining, that he
will again be on the general pro-
gram.
