Frank woolley'. House Burns.


Last Monday evening about sun
down or a little while before the
farm house of Frank WOolley was
burned to the ground with practi.
cally all the contents. There seems
to be no clue to the origin OF the
fire which originated in the cave
which adjOined the house on the
north. The total loss to Mr.. Woolley
was probably close onto $1,000.
There was about 500 insurance on
the house-Stonington News.

Rent GOugers
"In Society

Washington, Nov. ia probe of
high rents in the nations capital by
the Bureau of Navigation of the
Navy Department did not take the
usual course-the probers stated that
the public was being gouged and
that an alleged housing shortage
was propaganda to scare people into
buying.
The report favors campaign of
"pitiless publicity" which would not
only have the effect of reducing
rents, but would bring Considerable
discomfort to persons socially prom
inent in the District of Columbia
who are among the foremost real
estate profiteers."
The report makes the charge that
there are sufficient vacant houses
and apartments, but they are not
available because "the owners and
agents are purpOsely holding them
empty in order to force the help
less transients into buying at peak
prices, ranging from 30 to 100 per
cent above the original building
cost"
Attention is called to the goven-
ment's war powers to "seize. ap-
praise and sublet houses or apart
ments at fair rental to army and
navy officers and government en-
ployes, which procedure would soon
cause real estate agents to loosen
up on houses"

CANTWELL CONVICTED

The conviction of Pat Cantwell
for criminal syndicalism was an
easy matter. The law was passed
by reactionary legislature to aid
in perpetuating the power of the
Republican party. The law is to
prevent persons from advocating a
change in government, to pervent
attacks on the dominant political
party.
We believe there is no govern
ment except those of the states of
Washington or Pennsylvania where
a man could have been convicted of
crime for doing what Pat Cantwell
did.
The Journal is not an apologist
for the |. W. w. to which organ
ization Pat Cantwell belonged, for
that organization is only less an
enemy to organized labor than or
ganized wealth, but we do believe
that Cantwel's rights under the
first amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States were vio-
lated and that he is unjustly con-
victed of a crime.
If Cantwell can be convicted of
criminal syndicalism Ga crime ere
ated by the legislature of the State
of Washington to serve its masters)
any working man can be so con-
ycted and punished.
But the rich, particularly the Re
publican rich, may violate the laws
and Constitution of the United
States and go unpublished, even if
proven guilty, convicted and SEN
fenced. AS witness the case of Sem
ator Newberry of Michigan, who, if
the outraged law were indicated,
would be serving his sentence in
Fort Leavenworth.
1t is the heartIess repression and
outrages on labor which more than
all other causes is recruiting the
ranks of the |. w. w.
Pat Cantwell was not convicted
for what he had done, but because
he was a member of the |. w. w.

OF
THE FARMRS'
NATL COUNCIL.

In recent open letter to Messrs.
J. X. Howard, President American
Farm Bureau Federation; S. j.
Lowell, Master National Grange !;
C. S. Barrett, President National
Farmers Union; Milo d. Campbell,
President National Milk Producers
Association; w. l. Drummond, Chair
man Executive Board International
Farm Congress; o. G. Smith, Presi-
dent Farmers National Congress,
Mr.. George p. Hampton, Managing
Director of the Farmers National
Council, asks these executives wheth-
er they will bring before their ma
tional farm organizations at their
next general meeting the program
of the Farmers National Council
and urge the endorsement thereof.
Mr.. Hampton states that the Coun-
ellis program will save the farmers
of America at least three billion dol
to $500 a year per family, and save
the other workers of America fully
as much.
Mr.. Hampton's letter is peculiarly
timely as the National Grange, the
National Farmers Union, and the
international Farm Congress hold
their annual national meetings this
month, and the American Farm Blu
reau Federation has a meeting in
December.
Farmers Agreed on Need for Pack
er Control Legislation
Citing the fact that the Council
program is strongly backed by or
gained labor, and that practically
every farm organization has endors-
ed legislation to control the meat
packing industry, Mr.. Hampton says,
I'm all candor we are forced to the
conclusion that excepting packer
control legislation, the chief obstacle
In the way of carrying out the farm
ers' reconstruction program is the
opposition to most of its planks by
your organizations"

people have returned to a more
normal buying basis, and that chair
men are ordering their supplies in
surprisingly large quantities, sure
of selling their quotas.
The state is districted on much
the same plan as that used last
year, five rural and three metro
politan districts of Seattle, Tacoma
and Spokane. The state campaign
committee, of which Mrs. Overton
G. Ellis is chairman, is made up of
the eight district chairmen, with
Miss Mabel T. Harding as pub
licity director.

prising the eight northwest 'coun-
ties of Snohomish, Whatcom, Kit

Wonderful cooperation is found
everywhere" said Mrs. Buchanan.
Newspapers, school boardsl and
principals, commercial organizations
and societies have come forward
with offers of their services as
never before in the history of the
state work. The sale of these
Christmas seals, everyone now un-
derstands is for the financing of
the nationwide educational cam
paign against tuberculosis, every
state in the union being modified

THE COAL STRIKE
DOWN IN ALABAMA

The coal strike in Alabama
caused by the operators, lead by
the hoggish owners of the Corona
mines is attracting nationwide in
terest. The strikers are peaceable
and are proving to the Alabama
public that they intend to remain
peaceable. Industries are at
standstill and coal for domestic
as we'll as industrial uses must be
gotten from other states. The strike
mas spread all over the coal zone
of the state and the governor is
using the militia to intimidate the
miners, not to preserve peace.
The Alabama State Federation
of Labor in special session has
asked President Wilson for protec-
ton in their constitutional rights,
of Alabama citizens, from the law
less acts Of Governor Kilby.
The United Mine Workers has
thrown its full force into the field
and is doing effective work so that
the strikers will stand firm and
win.
Thirty-two operators have signed
new contracts with the miners, thus
making a big break in the ranks of
the enemy.
Strikebreakers Leaving
From Advanced
"StriSsbreakers are leaving the
district faster than they are coming
in, according to reports received
from many points in the mining
zone, where according to reports,
operators are finding themselves
unable to stop the exodus of disap-
pointed and deluded labor.
According to information received,
the Pratt Consolidated Coal Com
pany and other concerns operating
in and around Dora are experiencing
the most trouble. Even the guard
system, by which men cannot leave
company property without a pass,
which can only be obtained for good
reason, is proving Intellectual. Just
as rapidly as men can get the money
to leave on, they are leaving.
Eager to Leave
1T is reported that the men, many
of whom are still working, are eager
to get away, but haven't funds with
which to do it. They were brought
into the district according to their
CLAIMS, by promises Of extra high
wages, and were told that there
was mo trouble" and that things
were all right. Upon arrival, they
have found they had been employed
under false pretenses, and the high
wages have failed to materialize.
MANY Of these men have Joined
the ranks of strikers, while many
others, sorely disappointed are pre-
pairing to join in the movement to
leave just as quickly as they can
get sufficient funds"

Only One Wav

There is only one way to bring
permanent peace to the coal in
dustry and that is for the govern
ment to take over and operate all
mines for the benefit Of the people.
This will give a steady supply Of
coal for domestic uses, for manufac-
turing purposes and for transporta-
ton needs. This is the only way
to get rid Of the coal hog.

T. A. Walters, democratic nominee

address at the Rex theatre tomorrow
night
Mr. Walters served as attorney gen
eral of Idaho under the Nose Alex
ander administration and will un-
doubtedly be able to explain to the
taxpayers why taxes are higher now
than they were two years or four
years ago. If he wishes he may ex-
plain why the administration of which
he was a member, used the insurance
money received when the Soldiers
Home and the Lewiston Normal school
building was burned, for current ex-
penses why his administration did
not provide an appropriation for in
terest and sinking funds required I'M
der the state law; how "Mose" saved
the state a million dollars and left
debts that had to be paid of more than
twice that amount; why he wants to
discard the commission form of gov
eminent for the old system when all
other states are clamoring for the new
system such as Idaho has.
