WHERE'S THE VICTORY?
World Saved for Democracy But
 U. s. Is Left Out.

. Democracy was heralded as the victor when the war against European auto cracy ended November II, 1918, writes President Perkins of the Cigar Makers International union in the official jour nal of that organization.
 Since that memorable date" says this trade unionist, "a set of reactionary demagogues within our own admins tration and law-making bodies have at tempted to make a farce of American freedom.
 They are befouling the nest that gave them being.
 Among the more recent and far reaching measures proposed by these autocratic highbinders we find the Ster- ling bill, passed by the senate, and the Graham bill proposed in the house of representatives.
 "They are in reality the most seditious attacks on American freedom ever pro- posed and if they are passed and en- forced the very danger they aim to pre- vent, revolution, will be thousand times more probable.
 "Circulating copies of the Declaration of Independence would constitute a crime under the proposed law, for the Declaration itself advocates the over L1IA U" O4 government WHICH pCOpIS see fit to do so.
 Any federal judge could decide that strike had a political end in view and he could then send the members of the union on strike to jail for 20 years.
 Any law allowing the judiciary greater latitude in governmental affairs is foreign to all constitutional rights.
 "This law would give judges the bal ance of power in every wage dispute, in every campaign of organization and in fact would place a censorship oyer the acts, speech and thought of the Amer ican people.
 fThe times do not warrant such re- troactive measures. If our present laws were able to protect and perpetu- ate our government during the war just ended they are surely adequate for the same purpose in time of peace.
 Labor will never agree to such meas ures. We are going to ask for such democracy at home as we fought for in Europe"

MAINE SETS PAGE.
Labor Made Clean Up Against
 Chamber of Commerce.

Organized Labor won its first com- plete political victory of 1920 at the municipal election held in Waterville, Me-, on Monday, March 1. "As Maine goes so goes the nation," was once a slogan of the old political parties. It may prove true this year.
 Ernest Finnemore, member of the Blacksmiths' Union, employed at the Maine Central railroad shops, defeated Everett Wardwell, a clothing mer- chant, for mayor. The vote was: Fin nemore, 1,225; Wardwel1, 1,O4o. The defeated candidate had held the office for two terms and was considered in- vincible by his partisans
 In addition to e1ecting a mayor, Or ganized Labor won four aldermen out of seven, and eight of the IA council men,. The contest was between the Chamber of Commerce and Organized Labor, and was one of the hottest politi- cal scraps ever pulled off in the little city.

 Senator King illustrates the changed policy of certain law makers who will henceforth out-bolshevik the bolshe- vists. In recent speech the Utah sen- ator said:
 "Mr. President, I affirm that there can be no defense for the conduct of many of the great manufacturers of the United States who are today charg- ing enormous prices for their products and making profits so staggering and so stupendous as to shock the moral sen- abilities of decent people. There seems to be an absence of conscience upon the part of some of the producers and of our country.

Both for the organization that gives aid and relief to the poor and for the poor themselves, the high cost of living has been & troublesome factor in re- cent months. Money does not go far these days, but there's no one in the world who can get more worthwhile work out of dollar than can the Sal vationists. In this country they gave away @e, ,767 meals in the twelve month ending last September 80, and provided 371, ,9S4 meals besides at ap- proximate cost. They supplied free beds for 1,1s1 ,547 night lodgings and 1,49S, ,SS7 at a merely nominal charge.

Anti Union Lawmaker Realizes

The political campaign has opened.
 If one doubts this statement he needs but note that attacks in congress against organized labor are subsiding.
 Instead are heard denunciation of corporate greed" by men who have de- voted their energies since the armistice was signed to developing public opin- ion that would support "can't-strike" laws and anti-sedition legislation.

Salaries and compensation are paid and expenses incurred and allowances and charges laid against the enterprises in order to diminish the income and ex- cess profits taxes, and yet, with all the subterfuges resorted to, the earnings are so fabulous as to excite the skepti- cism even of those who have knowledge of the facts"

Poor" Congressmen, Too, Com
 plain of Living Costs.

Representative Clifton N. McArthur, of Oregon, declares that members of the House and Senate are not receiving "a decent living wage" and intimates that unless the members vote to raise their own salaries there may be a strike of lawmakers.
 The congressman is very inconsistent, inasmuch as he voted to retain the strike penalty in the Escf1\> railroad bill and then voted for the conference report which, in effect hog-ties 100000 rail- road employees to their present wages. He says:
The Connecticut labor press., 1920-03-20

Our s, 800 is not very large salary for an office of such importance, and it should be raised to $100O0 to meet the high cost of living We are not as well off as man with $500 position five years ago. We are liable to lose a lot of our most capable men who cannot make expenses on the present salary"
 Why not do some rational legislating ton.

SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1920 TO THE PROSPECTIVE HOME
 AND FACTORY BUILDER AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC

From the present outlook and from reliable ln formation furnished to this District Council, able to state that there going to be marked short age of Carpenters in this City we'll throughout the State this coming Spring and Summer and to those who contemplate the erection remodelling of any buildings advice would be to start the operation early.
 n From the report of the United States Treasury Department who have sent out questionnaire to the Banks of the Country learn that there is to be great amount of money spent in building operations, and from Contractors who do building not only in this State but everywhere learn that their biggest worry at this time is to where the Building Trades Mechanics and particularly Car penters are to be obtained from to do the work that they have contracted for at this time.
 All this means that there will be an unprecedented demand for Carpenters, and those who would have their work finished on time say again to let your contracts for your work the earliest possible date Below publishing list of the various cities and towns that requesting wage scale of One Dollar per hour for the Carpenters.
 Our reason for this is that have been told that by the granting of this price to the Carpenters of this City it would be the only City in the State where this price would prevail and would be deterrent to the building business

The Coasts Problem: Se|f-Preservation

California has officially put its case against the
japanese before the state department. Wash
ington must do likewise.
California wants peace" writes Gov. Ste
phens, of that state "but is determined the mis-
takes of Hawaii shall not be repeated here"
What has the governor of our state to say?
Will he continue silent?
There are only few fleeting moments be-
tween the situation in this state and the one that
will put us in Californias more menacing plight.
1t is but another breathing spell, as time goes, be-
tween that and the Japanized state of Hawaii.
When are we going to act? When it is too
late? When the predominance of japanese will
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1920-06-22

so overwhelm us that, as in Hawaii, it will influ-
ence not only our commerce and our industries,
+, but our education and our legislation as we'll?
If we are to prevent the peaceful penetration of
America by the Japanese, we of the Coast must
stand together as we never stood before! Never
mind the DR.. Matthewses, the DR.. Murphys and
other absurd sentimentalists or Jap lobbyists.
Never mind the selfish interests now profting
from Jap sources.
The practical fact is that NOW we can meet
this problem peacefully Later it may be too late.
California wants peace, says Gov. Stephens.
Washington wants peace. But self-preservation
is the first law of nature.
